Chapter 7
"Where are they coming from, I may have an idea..." You followed Benjamin's explanation and hide behind a wall that separated the hall. The huge windows were framed with golden curtains, the walls built out of shimmering sandstone. This scene was about the arriving of Prince Rhin at Sansirare, the City of the ancestors of Rhin. A place of the biggest bloodshed of Rhin's royal family. The cause of all trouble because Lys' family, in particular your great-grandmother, intruded and fight against Rhin's great-grandfather, her lover. Since then it's said that the women of your bloodline have wicked blood. After a century it was conquered by the Eriques ,the family of the husband, of your great-grandmother and occupied since then. They established a famous kingdom of opulence and glory.
Additionally the latest finance of Rhin was an eriques princess and the felt hugely offended by the public denial of Rhin, so it was just a matter of time when they would attack. In this very moment Rhin lead a dangerous mission right into the heart of the castle. And you followed him because you wanted to keep him save and, moreover, were incredible upset because you weren't part of the group he has chosen for this intriguing plan.
"Aaaand action!"
Footsteps came closer, you heard quiet mumbling. Rhin was stalking around the corner as you suddenly pulled out a dagger close to his throat.
"Just imagine how this story had ended if I were a soldier." You released him.
"Lys! What are you doing here! It's not safe!"
"I've seen how safe it is."
You were clothed in a half-see-through, white dress to keep you save from identification and sunburn.
"You can't keep up with my men. You are a woman. Sensible and unfortunately too weak to fight." Rhin hides a strang of your hair behind your ear.
"Actually she's a good fighter, you have to admit." The soldier next to him admitted and another agreed: "No offense but she could have killed you, twice."
So it was decided you could join the group to your entire satisfaction but Rhin's displease. To be precise, he was in rage. You could see his rising pulse whenever you came too close to him.
"Super work, team! Just a quick reminder, no shaving until Thursday. You know makeup is powerful but you can save time doing it yourself." Benjamin giggled like a boy but afterwards he was concentrated and changed the hall for the next scene.
„Oh Jane is soooo exhausting. After just two hours I know everything about her and their glorious relationship. Did you know they met on set of the BBC-drama? She calls it destiny."
You, Lizzy and Thomas were relaxing at your hotel room. Lizzy picked you up from work and had bought some ice cream and asian noodles for the movie night together.
"Have you seen him there?", requested Thomas, his mouth smeared red with strawberry ice.
"No, I didn't knew he was even there. Why the heck would he visit the set without saying Hi at least." The noodle slides away.
„Fuck."
Lizzy changed the position of her chopsticks and turned the volume down.
„Maybe you were the reason?"
Had she lost her mind? You had no contact after your discussion at the pub, he didn't even called you...
„And send." Thomas smirked at you.
„What are you up to?" He raised his eyebrows and strokes his chin, acting like he was thinking about solving world problems.
„Maybe I invited Richard, in your name?"
You grabbed the closest item, in your case the manuscript of today, threw it at him, hit a wineglass and it broke into thousand pieces.
Red wine sprinkled on the carpet and you screamed undefined shrieks.
„Why the fuck!" You asked while scrubbing the floor.
Lizzy in the one hand a vacuum cleaner in the other a half-full glass of vodka-orange-juice. Yourself got a bit dizzy but Thomas had already opened the next bottle.
„I just texted him that you asked why he isn't there and to bring a bottle himself. Guess he should be around the next corner."
The door bell rang. Richard.
„Sssh put away the vacuumer and, god forsaken, the empty bottles?", you shouted while jogging to the door. You leaned relaxed on the door frame as you opened it.
„Oh hey Richard, cool you could make it." He hugged you soft, his deep blue coat was a bit wet. Oh great. Your friends understood tidy up as put it on the kitchen side.
„Rich! Oh look what you've got! Ayayay!"
Behind his back he pulled a bottle of tequila: „I'm really sorry I've got no limes at home soo..."
You four sat in front of your TV and were drinking shots whenever Thomas said well what happened quite often after some drinks.
Richard had connected his IPhone with the boxes and some jazzy tunes made you bob to the beat. You and Richard were prepping the second round of ice cream as you asked like no big deal: "Like one year ago... did you really just needed a good fuck?" He almost choked on his drink. Putting the glas down and sorting the words he wanted to say, however, it resulted in: "You are an attractive lady with a good sense of humor, who has not thought about a night with a wonderful woman?"
You put your hair in a high ponytail and responded: "Well, obviously you because you left me."
"That's not what I said, (y/n).", he scooped chocolate ice cream into his bowl, "And just as a side note: you went home with someone else." You grabbed his hand to stop his action: "I thought we had cleaned up the mess? If you're talking about Thomas, yes, he's been with me. I was a mess and slipped, so silly, that my ankles had been hurting and he looked after me."
To your surprise, he reacted not moody at all. He slowly scratched his neck and the minute he wanted to say something you interrupted him.
"I am so jealous of all women that can see you for the first time. I hope you found your one, Rich."
"Guess I did."
