Chapter Eight: They were tired Edward woke up a while ago. From a nightmare that made him jump up from his sleep and it seemed to sobered him up. And after he heard of what happened to Nicolas' parents he couldn't help but feel emotional about it. His parents' deaths weren't similar to Nicolas' but it didn't mean they both didn't lose parents. He could not imagine how Nicolas felt about it. Losing parents was one thing but losing them in such a way was something else. He had his diary on his lap ready to write on it but before he could the door of his room swung open. "Nicolas" he got up from his bed placing the diary without a care on the bed. As he headed to where Nicolas stood by the door. "Did you hear?" Nicolas asked in a whisper like voice? Edward nodded. "I heard." Nicolas took one of his hands. "Rose said to give you this." A ring was placed on his finger. A ring that he didn't recognize. He wanted to ask why Rose would give him the ring but he was too curious
Chapter Nine: That Mean Old Lady Aunt Mury got into the room. She was mad. She had her hands on her hips. Which could only mean that she was ready to let everything loose. "How could you?!" She yelled at her brother's son. "You useless idiotic boy!" She had raised him with everything she had. She had taught him everything he needed to know in the kind of life that he would lead. But still the boy had the guts to do so much with her there. "Do not look at me as if you have no knowledge of what I speak of!" She shouted at Edward who was trying to look innocent in her eyes. "I don't believe that it is Mury's raising that has made you into this imbecile that stands before me." She was harsh with words that she knew but this was necessary to bring the boy from whatever world he thought he was in. "You are a duke now. A hand to the kingdom but tomorrow boy if you continue like this there won't be any titles for you. I so promise you on that!" Edward still looked as if he di
Chapter Ten: Adorable little angel In the nursery room there were loud noises from the tiny humans of the house. Harty had his hands full trying to silence both his twin girls while he had to also feed them their breakfast. "Ugh" he groaned watching his two crying daughters. "Why are you so loud?" He didn't remember hearing children so loud. Well that would be because children didn't really know how to act in front of him. They either got scared and hid or they just ignored him. Now there was no escaping this. These were both his lovely daughters. Crying as if there was no tomorrow. "You're so cute when you are silent don't you think?" The one who was good with the both of them was Justin who just like the wind had vanished right now because of the murder case. He and some of the knights were given orders to invest into it. "That they are" a voice coming from behind him started him. He saw his aunt when she came around to stand in front of him. Her smile on as if it was an a
Chapter Eleven: Bad as it is Edward didn't feel like getting into the palace this night. He felt more at peace outside. Watching his most favourite thing in the sky. The moon. The moonlight was his first night lamp at night. He used to be a child scared of a lot of things so his aunt would tell him if he looked closely to the moon then he'd see his mother. Because the light the moon brought was the light that it took from the sun who was his mother. Although laughable now then he was quite believing in it all. Sometimes he'd even stare from his window as a young boy to see if what his aunt said about his mom was true. He sat down on the cold grass. Laid himself on it. And looked, watched, gazed and adored that beautiful round orb in the sky. Do you know that they don't appreciate you at all moon. You give them light but they still search for the small stars. "Edward used his arms as pillows. He was about to close his eyes when he heard someone clear his throat. He didn't
Chapter Twelve: Feeling Unwell Today. This day was a day that made Edward feel sick to his stomach. He didn't feel like doing anything but stay in his room at this very morning. But he knew that his aunt would drag him out of bed if he stayed in it any longer. So he did get out. Getting ready to go to the garden. He wanted to at least have good thoughts that would be provided by the flowers and plants there. Nature could always make him feel better than before. "Good morning aunt" he greeted his aunt Mury when he bumped int His aunt Mury gave him a sharp and painfully long stare before she finally accepted his greeting with her own. "Morning" she moved out of his way letting him to finally be free of her for only a few minutes. He didn't take this lightly. Walking faster than needed just to get away from his aunt Mury. He found himself not in the garden but the study. There were some fond memories there. Memories of him and his two cousins being taught how to read but
Chapter Thirteen: For I am a fool in love After what he had said to Rose and what Rose had said to him Edward was feeling lighter but even heavier than before. He still had a decision to make. Rose is a good woman. No one and nothing could dispute that fact but the thing was Edward's heart. He had no feelings for Rose. No feelings but only friendship for her. Then he remembered how boldly Nicolas had taken him on. For Rose's hand. So he had made his decision. "Edward?" The shake on his shoulder made him get back to reality. He was in front of Harty and Justin. He faked a smile. "Oh I have a lot in my mind. I apologize." "It's quite alright to have a whole lot in your mind Ward what's wrong is you making us fools to look at you while you say nothing." He nodded at Justin's words. "I need you to tell Arthur something for me " "Why will you not tell him yourself?" Justin questioned. Edward didn't want to see or talk to Arthur at this moment. He thought he'd just blow
Chapter Fourteen: A Boy And A Rose The sun was shining bright on the window in Rose's bedroom. Edward was still deep in unconsciousness. His hands were both gripping at Nicolas' own. As he kept on twisting and turning. Talking and mumbling words no one in the room could hear. "I wonder what kind of dream you're having" Nicolas voiced out. Still not making any move to remove his hands from his as of now fiance's. "Whatever it is seems intense" Harty said breathing out a sigh. Arthur looked at his wrist watch. "If he doesn't wake up soon we'll have to go Michael. We'll leave him here with you Nicolas." Nicolas dropped his eyes to Edward. Who now was starting to stir awake. Edward could feel the eyes that were on him but he still saw in a blurring vision. He sat up on the bed he could feel he was on dragging along the owner of the hands he still had a grip on. This made Nicolas to be fully on the bed as well. His vision started to cloud out just at that moment. He smile
Chapter Fifteen: Good For Them Rose was perfumed in a very pleasant smelling flower scent by her female servants as they got her ready for the day. "My lady forgive me but I have a question for you. Please don't answer it if it upsets you." Gloria, the head maid said as she busied herself in getting Rose's hair straight. "Ask" Rose watched her on the mirror ready to hear what she would say. "The duke and your errand boy have now gotten engaged my lady. All because of your insisting. Why is that?" Rose smiled at Gloria. "Fate always goes like that dear Gloria. Everyone who are meant to be together are together. No one and nothing can change that." "So if I say you're that fate that led them together would I be wrong mam? I mean you're the one who pushed them together. With the letters at first and then everything else ended up like this." "Aren't they happy now? They're engaged. Good for them." And that was all Rose said ending the topic. *Rose was only six years old
