Chapter 35: Chapter 35
Arslan stared at the beautiful damsel in front of him in a distance and the alluring scent of her flaunting his nose however he began to feel what Betty felt, he understood the feeling of heartbreak, Arslan felt like punching or beating somebody but one thing he was never allow to do was fighting with noble men, when young noble son attacked him for whatever reason he may, he would let them do as they please causing bruises on him even though he was more of a fighter, sometimes he would dodge them and make a fool of them, from the get go he knew that Felicia was not of his class and completely out of his reach if not why will a young girl want to run away with him, he had seen this cliché story before were a man gets annoyed and run of but rather I would choose to understand as taught by bumi, she was a master of all trade and Felicia was is supposed fated mate. He also had read story's were things don't work out with their fatedmate, he held unto a cup of wine like a noble man and gulped it down with one swoop out of a feeling of rage and frustration. Savannah groaning and Arslan could feel is body almost shapeshifting out of anger but he remain calm with blank expression on his face.
Ladies chuckled in front of him with all kinds of questions but he was standing taller than most gentlemen with a very pure white hair that makes him stand out in the crowd. His heart burden with sadness and thoughts bang the walls of every corner of his mind.
he decided to go home since the reason he came here was settled after all , he never did belong to this kind of environment and just then he was curious to why this person wanted him to find the truth, who is this person and to what intentions did that person do this, was it for good so as he would not be punished for touching a royal blood or because that person was jealously in love with Felicia
Arslan was a curious minded fellow and so he reached to the right side of his pant pocket. He unveil the letter and the location of where he should go and he began to walk.
Felicia roaming her eyes in shock. " Oh no, he found out, he is going to leave me" her heart shook pounding with fear, the thoughts of him out of her life, the thought that she would never have chance to see someone like him again flash through the corners of her mind
"What are you doing? Quiet Talia spoke out in anger.
"He is our mate and you can't let him go. Go after him or else I wouldn't give you my powers any more" Talia threatened
she instantly ran down the stairs with much urgency after him, few guest, frustrated Jake and her father wondering what might be the trouble. They stared at her while Quinn laughed in amazement to the drama unfolding, Aralan walking in the midst of the crowd making his way out when suddenly he felt a hand touch him. He turns
"Arslan, Arslan" Felicia touch him by hand, hot tears rolls down from the right side of her cheeks,
"I am so sorry, i am really so sorry I never wanted you to find out this way. I was going to tell you, I really wanted to tell you about it and i never met of deceived you but I couldn't bring myself to tell you that I was a princess because I know you would leave me" please Arslan i am so sor.....ry he cuts in.
"So what do you want me to do now? you are matched with Duran to marry , a prince and I am no match at all, you should have told me and I won't feel so frustrated as I am now"
"I feel like deceived"
"No, no" Felicia held him with both hands,
" I know you have every right to me angry and walked away but I really want you to know my honest feeling, after that day when you saved me I was really happy. I have never felt this way about anyone else the way I feel for you. I never really said it but truly I am in love with you. i deeply love you Arslan and I would give up anything in the world to be with you for eternity, that's what my heart truly feels about you", tears rolling down her cheek as Felicia couldn't hold it back, Jake wondered what was happening and assume it was that man that made her cry. he decided to walk towards them.
"Is anything the matter, Princess Felicia?"
"No, not at all, a fly flew straight into my eye" replied Felicia turning her face away from Jake
"A fly? questioned Jake while Jake try to figure things out for himself, Arslan cuts in with his face twitching in way indicating for Jake to piss off.
"yes" A very huge fly, may I have this last dance? Questioned Arslan
Felicia surprised and she nodded, Jake annoyed and furious to the reply that Arslan made cutting him off with the princess. Arslan and Princess Felicia walking to the center stage and they both began to dance with ethics to the dance ball. Felicia held him by the left shoulder and the duo squeeze their palm together clustered with with fingers and Felicia commented
"My offer still stands, I want you to run away with me" they turn their body's along other gentlemen dancing to a violin strings in the ball
"Didn't you hear me, it's my last dance, if you were a nobles daughter then it would be ok but a princess of Qing, Qing is powerful in military strength and used to be number one before the fall, the king will search and find us, especially your prince Duran, there is no place to hide" Arslan replied
"So what are you saying that I am to marry a man I don't love and what's bad. It a sentence to life in marriage prison and I might even be killed by him. He hates half breed" Felicia replied then something entered into her mind,
“How about we do the thing, you know do the thing man and woman do bonding" questioned Felicia
"Do what?
“Stop pretending, you know what am talking about I want to carry your child, maybe if I do that, they will leave me be" said Felicia
“And that would be in the expense of my head”, No thank you, I Rather not Arslan spoke out.
Quinn looked at the duo dancing remarkably on the dance floor with all eyes on Felicia and Arslan and prince Duran watch in disgust. Quinn wondered how it that a commoner can dance this way is.
"No fun, quinn said "I will tweak the heat up a bit" she walks to her father
"Who is that delightful young man dancing with Felicia” Questioned the king Marcus
"He is the one I told you about, the commoners blood who Felicia as been dating of late"
"What? and you allowed him here, where did he get a Tunis from that he is wearing “Questioned the king
"Perhaps, Felicia must have stolen it, he is as tall as brother, so it might his tunics cloth after all he is a commoner. I can't see how he would buy such an exquisite material not to talk of the cost of sewing it" replied Quinn
"Get me the guards now" the king demanded
"Father Wait, I do have planned to get rid of him, all I want you to do make a decree" Quinn smiles mischievously as he and the king whispered in silence.
After several gentle dance moves by the duo, Felicia held the right hand of Arslan pulling him over, '' come, there is something i wish to show you and also discuss' the Duo walked out of the ball to the court, place filled with beautiful flowers garden of the palace, Felicia holding unto her gown with both hands and Arslan walking side by side with her and she speaks
'' I was wondering, Arslan before my supposed marriage arrangement after i have gone to Gondor and returned back. i would like us to escape and leave this city. i plan to take my mother and brother along. i would use the opportunity to check for city's conducive enough were we can start a living without be trace and notice, what do you say? '' instantly the thunderclap growl across the sky and the rain began to fall.
'' Let’s head back to the ball room, i would think about it'' Arslan replied
''No, i have a better idea '' Felicia held his hands pulled him to her castle, thunderclap growls with barrage of rain from the sky, the duo drenched in the rain in the front door of Felicia's room, Felicia takes Arslan to her room and told him to change and Felicia walked out to change, Arslan looking at the large room, he pulled out his Tunis leaving his light sleeve on.
And then it happened!
