4 The Journey

"Wake up princess, wake up " Laura said hurriedly.

" What's it Laura , i want to sleep for some more time, please " i said in slumber voice.

" princess if you won't wake up now we'll be late" she exclaimed... "Oh yes, i forgot about it thank you for waking me up Laura " i exclaimed, whilst running into bathroom..., I took bath and laura made my hair and i rechecked my baggage.

She brought me my breakfast, i ate it and went to meet father.

" good morning, Zeri are you ready for journey" he asked with smile "good morning father, i am more than ready" i replied enthusiastically.

Two carriages with guards were ready... Laura was assisted by two maids Ela and Nina, they were following us in other carriage, as we reached the port, a guard opened the door of carriage and helped me to get down..

King Edmund and Queen Aila were waiting for us, for my surprise again he was not there. I thought he was in the ship busy with something, i greeted them and we boarded onto the ship..

My eyes were searching for him on the ship, but he was nowhere to be seen, " where is your son Remus Edmund ? he's nowhere to be seen " father asked...

" He is busy with some business Edward, so he didn't come " King Edmund replied...

My heart sank on his words, it was aching when i heard that...,

"Father can i go to my chamber " i said in staid voice..

" is everything alright, Zeri " he asked "yes , I'm just debilitated father, i want to take some rest" i replied.

"Okay, Princess i will send Laura she will take care of you " he exclaimed worriedly.

" no need of Laura father, i can handle it " i said.

"okay Zeri, as you wish" he said with smile.

and a guard showed me my chamber. as i entered, it was beautiful and well furnished, it even have a window which gave a beautiful view of ocean...

I sat on bed and tears started falling from my eyes. I was crying uncontrollably.., i was madly in love with him i realised it today. whilst crying i felt in deep slumber, when I woke up it was twilght and my eyes felt heavy, i got up from my bed and went to bath chamber to wash my face, when I was out of bath chamber Laura was standing with food in her hand.

"i came to your chamber Princess , but you were in deep slumber so, i haven't disturbed you,.., you didn't ate anything from longtime Princess , have some food "  she exclaimed with worry.

"' I'm not hungry Laura , when I feel hungry I'll eat" i exclaimed staidly.

There was a knock on the door "come in" i said..

It was Nina who came for Laura. before leaving laura said " Princess I know you are despondent by his absence, but please eat your food, I'll be back soon"

When she left i sat near the window staring at beautiful twilghted ocean and ate some food.

I spent my whole day in my chamber, now it was almost midnight and i was unable to sleep so i decided to take a stroll, as i was walking in the corridor lost deeply in thoughts i bumped my self into someone and we both fell on the floor, his body was upon me and his face was pressed against my shoulder when he removed his face from my shoulder and looked at me  i was alarmed to see Remus, his body was abutted to mine and was sending shivers to my spine and my heart was beating so fast. He got up and helped me to get up....

" are you hurt Princess " he asked anxiously.

"no, I'm fine" i replied.

"I'm sorry i haven't seen you coming " i exclaimed in soft voice.

"its okay Princess, its midnight and you're out in corridor do you need anything?? " he asked.

'Yes i was in need of seeing you' i wanted to say to him but i can't.

"I was unable to sleep so i came out for a stroll " i replied.

"Oh can i accompany you??" He asked with curiosity.

"Oh sure you can Prince Remus " i replied by abstaining my blush. Oh i can't believe he's with me how much i longed to see his maddening smile and gorgeous eyes. His presence gives crazy butterflies in my stomach.

We stood in balcony in the cool air and my cheeks were turning red due to cold..... I broke out the silence by saying " your father said you are busy with some work and you're not coming with us??"

He smiled and exclaimed " yes what my father said was right, but i just wanted to startle someone so, i faked the news of me not coming "

"Got someone special on ship haa" i exclaimed teasingly.

" oh yes, there is someone really special " he said with gentle smile, which makes my heart flutter.

I got really anxious hearing that. now i started wondering who's that special one. I was elated to see him and same time i was perturbed by someone special.

It was pretty cold outside so i started rubbing my arms for some heat.

" i think you should go to your chamber Princess, its pretty cold out  here and your cheeks are turning red" he said caringly, i didn't wanted go away from him but i can't say that.

" yes you're right Prince Remus I will go to my chamber" i said with a soft smile.

"Let me walk you to your chamber princess" he said.

"Okay, Prince Remus " we reached my chamber.

" Good night, Princess and see you tomorrow " he said softly.

"Good night, Prince Remus and see you tomorrow"

I entered my chamber and i was jumping in exuberance, i laid on my bed i was buoyant and fell asleep whilst thinking about him.
