Chapter 20: Chapter 20

I'm getting dressed and tidying up now!

It was seven o'clock in the evening and I had just finished taking a bath.

I don't know but Hailey left earlier.

I quickly put on my clothes and arranged myself.

I even winced when I saw myself in the mirror.

I just nessy bun my hair then put the flower crown.

I first removed my necklace with a pendant crown and put on what the Queen had given me.

I looked at my gift and scratched my head.

It's up to you.

I rested deeply when the door bell rang.

Jusko, why am I nervous?

Hooo!

I opened the door and held my breath when I saw Tristan standing in the doorway.

in fairness he is handsome in his black tuxedo with a gray bowtie.

He was wearing a gray mask. He was silenced.

"You're beautiful, but I think you need to wear your mask now."

He said so I nodded and put on my mask.

"Shall we?"

I reached for his hand.

I smiled at him and he smiled at me too.

He even raised an eyebrow when he saw that I was carrying a paper bag.

So I scolded him.

We started walking.

Wew! The quiet.

when we were outside I even laughed when I saw a carriage.

Made of pure gold and with crystals design.

"Yay! That's flying?"

I asked and he nodded.

"Fortunately, yes."

He answered so I winced.

We immediately boarded.

"Is the palace far away, Tris?"

I asked him.

"No, it's only a 10 minute drive."

He answered so I nodded.

I even raised an eyebrow when he took my hand and he intertwined our fingers.

I was shaken.

I'll just leave it at that, it's his birthday.

I looked at the paper bag I was holding, I'll give it to you later, it's still ugly.

Almost no one spoke to us throughout the trip, but it wasn’t awkward.

It was a comfortable deafening silence.

I took a deep breath first as we descended.

we started walking towards the door when I stopped walking.

"Wait, I have something to say."

I said so he stopped too.

I turned to him.

"You're handsome now, then"

I saw him smile so I frowned.

"Happy birthday"

I said then squatted down and kissed him on the cheek and took his hand and handed over the paper bag containing my gift.

"Open it later, you're really ready for me when you open it now. I'll be the first."

I said then preceded the walk.

I shouted when he suddenly passed me and hugged me.

We were face to face so I couldn’t help but be nervous.

I looked up when suddenly fireworks erupted.

I was even more surprised when the door suddenly opened.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let us welcome, the one and only handsome prince of Fantasia, Prince Denver Tristan Fantasia."

I was about to separate from his embrace when he suddenly touched my face.

Shete! What will he do?

Someone is watching!

I sighed when he brought his face closer.

My eyes widened even more as our lips came closer.

"Thank you, best birthday ever."

After he kissed me he immediately pushed me inside.

I was even swallowed up when people whispered.

Jusme.

When they hit me, I really didn't know.

We walked to a chair that looked like it was for him. I love the design.

"Woah! Who's that?"

"Yeah, that's nice I guess."

"They were sweet to the prince earlier."

"Kyaaaaah! Prince Denver has a love life! Cry!"

I looked around and looked for Raven.

I stopped to see Duke staring at me.

I sighed.

the sadness he looked at.

'Sorry Duke. But I'm not Alyssa. '

I said in his mind.

I saw him nod.

‘I know, Kath. I know.'

He replied.

I don’t know but a few beads of tears dripped from my eyes when Duke said that.

am I affected by her because I am the reincarnation of Alyssa?

"Are you okay Mara?"

Tristan asked me when he noticed I stopped.

I was still blinking when I noticed that next to his chair was his parents' chair.

The king and queen.

"Don't bow down"

Tristan laughed.

So I kicked him.

"Aray ah!"

I looked at him.

"Thank you so much for your birthday today. You're really dead to me tomorrow."

I said.

"What? What did I do?"

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What did you do before ?Do you think I'll miss that? "

He laughed.

"That's your birthday gift to me, don't be KJ."

I smirked at him.

"So that's my birthday gift to you? I can have the Denver Tristan Fantasia paper bag."

I said as I reached for the paper bag in his right hand.

"Just a joke. I'll just pay for that or this. You're still crying there."

I was deeply relieved by what he said.

"I don't know about you."

I replied then looked at the King and Queen.

I scratched my head when I saw them staring at the two of us.

"Hi po!" I greeted and suddenly the Queen hugged me.

"Kyaaaaah! I miss you Kathylina! It's good to see you again."

The Queen said as she hugged me.

"I miss you too, Maha-hehe what I mean is Tita. I miss you too."

I said laughing.

"My baby Denver was your sweet earlier. Aysus! My son is really a young man! Hihihihi!"

I was shaken when I saw Denver blush.

I looked at the King as he spoke.

"What's your name hija?"

He asked.

"Ah, Kathylina Amara Ferrtollo please, Dear King."

I replied so the Queen hit me jokingly.

"Oh, Kathylina. Don't call him Dear King, just Tito."

The Queen said that's why I scratched my head so hard.

I was surprised when the king hugged me.

He even patted my back.

"Yes, just call me Tito, but Daddy is okay. Welcome to the family, Kath."

The King said so I was amazed.

What does he mean by that?

* - * - * - * - *

Earlier, Tristan was wondering if he would knock Kath.

But maybe it's still fixing.

his morning just arrived. 7:30 pm cross. .

He just rested deeply then remembered the first time he saw Kathylina.

* - *

'What is to be announced and do we really need to be summoned here?'

Tristan was annoyed in his mind.

when the announcement was over, he fixed his gaze on a woman.

She looks like Lina.

That woman treated him when he was cursed.

'But it might just look like that.'

Tristan said in his mind.

he would have waited for the woman to face his behavior again but this man was already talking to her.

'Who is that man? They look like they're having a quarrel. '

* - *

He then remembered the time he heard someone singing in the music room.

* - *

eating royalties in those times when suddenly someone sang.

'There's a song that's inside of my soul' 'It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again'

'I'm awake in the infinite cold'

'But you sing to me over and over and over again'

Tristan was shocked when he heard the singer's voice.

He didn't know but his chest seemed to throb.

Very familiar voice.

'Lina's voice!'

He shouted in his mind.

She was still blinking when she realized that that voice was the same as Lina's.

so without hesitation he immediately stood up and ran all the way to the music room.

But he was immediately disappointed to see that the singer had left.

But he had met someone earlier!

That woman looks like Lina!

* -*

he could not find time to talk to the girl so his joy almost reached heaven when he heard and saw the girl singing.

* - *

"So you're the girl back then, the one in the music room."

He said.

and he did not think that he would immediately get the girl comfortable.

He even laughed in his mind because the girl seemed to doubt him or not trust him very much.

It even blocked him a few more times.

He couldn't stop himself from smiling.

he finally saw Lina.

And he never thought of having her being one of his friends.

* - *

Tristan was shaken when he remembered what had happened to his tambayan.

It is one of the best moments of his life.

and first he thought that he wanted to be with the girl because she was Lina but as time goes by he realized that there's something more.

It's like they both have a connection.

and he also realizes that he seems to be gradually liking the girl, not because she's Lina but because she's the only girl who made his heart skip a beat.

* - *

He didn't know but the speed of his heartbeat as the two of them went to his tambayan.

it is his secret haven that the queen, the grandmother and only he know.

And now, he will take Mara with him.

Maybe he's crazy.

That’s what Tristan had in mind.

He told her to roam around.

But he was suddenly surprised as if someone had fallen into the falls.

'Sh*t! Mara! '

he shouted in his mind and looked to see if it was Mara who had fallen.

He just frowned when he saw Reina watching him.

Mara seemed surprised.

He quickly dived into the water without thinking that Mara might recognize him as Prince Denver.

and he couldn't help but swallow as he hugged Mara with one hand.

'Her eyes are really beautiful.'

And he's willing to look on her face all day without getting bored.

For him, Mara's the most beautiful girl he had laid his eyes on.

he didn't know but he seemed to be ashamed of himself for what had happened.

For Tristan, she still looks beautiful even though she was only wearing her t-shirt, which turned into an over sized t-shirt when Mara wore it.

He even smiled when it yawned.

'Cute.'

he told her he could sleep first while he and the pixies were still preparing their food.

And what he didn’t expect was what happened when he woke it up.

He was this man but he seemed to be thrilled by what happened to the two of them.

'Is he serious?'

he asked himself.

Add to that the Queen came and teased them both.

But what he can't forget is when they rode with Reina.

Something added to the best moments of his life.

it was also a good thing that the girl was not born to him after she found out that he was the Prince.

* - *

And another thing he will never forget is his jealous and overprotective boyfriend attitude towards the girl.

'For pete's sake! He ate with Raven! and she's even wearing short shorts! '

He said to himself and couldn't help but glance at it over and over again.

He was even annoyed when he realized it was too numb.

So all he did was he followed them to the MEA market.

and he gladly gave her his jacket.

He didn't want to be rude to the girl.

Even though he was a little jealous because Raven was with him there was nothing he could do.

He doesn't own Mara .
