Milan woke up almost sunset, he watch his face and went to their leaving room. He saw Thiasus writing on a paper.
"Sending later to the king?" He asked puting the maid cloth in his bag.
"Mmmm" I haven't tell my father how am doing doing for two days now. Don't want him to send his knight to come looking for me." Thiasus fold the paper and whistle for his .messenger bird.
"Oh.. I'll be on my way now. Wish me luck" Milan put his bag on his back as he left.
Thiasus send the messenger bird away before he went out to meet Milan already on his horse.
"Be careful and remember not to look at butt in skirt alright" Thiasus wave at Milan who just rolled his eyes
"Heeya!!" Milan hit his horse before it start running fast.
it was quite dark before he reached the palace. He tied his horse at one side of the tree before wearing his maid clothes. He walked to the palace gate when the guards stop him..
"Where are you coming from boy?" One of the guards ask him.
"Oh..Mrs Ann send me to deliver something to someone at the royal store" he bend his head as he try to hide his face praying they should believe his lie
"Mrs Ann?" Is Ann married fedus? The guard ask the other guard.
"The last time I check Ann is princess Adeya personal maid same as the other royal twin" fedus said laughing..
Milan was shock those that mean that the girl was a princess.Ghia princess..thats a great news.
"Uhmmm you know she and princess Adeya do act like mother and daughter thats why I do call her Mrs Ann" Milan quickly garnished his lie.
"Now I get..alright get in before you miss the party..
They open the gate for him as he walked into the palace, everywhere was beautifully decorated. What kind of party is going on he didnt bother to ask the guards what kind of party because he just successfully decieve them.. In other to feed his curiosity, he began to walk to the main palace as he passed decorated trees at the way. He thinks after the north and south palace of mandre, Ghia has the most beautiful palace from Toona and Thia.
Milan walk to the main palace when a maid stop him..
"Where are you going, we are having our own party at the maids quarters with princess Adeya" the maid drag Milan hand, it was dark so she didn't see his face.
"Why will princess Adeya have party at the maid quarters?" He ask to feed his curiosity because its getting complicated.
"Don't act dumb, she's getting married to prince Dinas tomorrow so today is the night of separation where she won't see him till the wedding ritual tomorrow" the maid continue to walk to their quarters while Milan follow from behind.
"He understand the separation night where the bride will party with other girls and guys apart from her groom and the groom party with other girls and boys apart from his bride..this is no good news.
He follow the maid until there reach the party center in the maids quarters.He didnt understand why a princess will host her separation party in the maids quarters.she does not have elite friend or what. But thats not his concern, he really need to leave but he want to see if it was the Adeya in the royal store.
Milan enter and there the green eye red head girl was there as everyone dance around her, she was dressed in her royal attire the scene was beautiful..he needs to inform Thiasus that his dream girl is getting married tomorrow to his enemy. This is not good.
He immediately turn to leave when he hit someone but he immediately bow his head and apologize before walking out in a haist.
Ann look at the back of the maid, she can't remember where she saw that face but its familiar really familiar. She shrugged the feeling off as she went to meet Adeya.
Milan quickly went back to the gate..
"Ummmm..please Ann ask me to deliver a later to her friend." He brought out a well fold paper and show them.
"Why will she send you by this time?" The guard ask him
"I wanted to use the opportunity of the party to see my mom. She's sick" Milan lied again
"Oh sorry boy.." The guards open the gate and Milan rushed out immediately like he was running from something.
Milan reached where he tied his horse and change his cloth immediately before climbing his horse. He ride back to the town their home is located.
After few fast ride, Milan reached home as he immediately tied his horse down before running into their house. He couldn't find Thiasus because its really late in the night,so he might be asleep. He went to Thiasus as his guess was right. He was right his prince was sleeping like the world was a safe place.
He wake him up by taping his legs.
"My prince wake up" Milan tap Thiasus who shake his legs and stretch his hand.
"I thought you will come back by tomorrow evening or you couldn't sneak in" he asked covering his mouth as he yawned.
"She's the princess of Ghia my prince"
"Thats good new Milan..wow I'm really ha..
"She's getting married tomorrow to the prince of Thia" Milan drop the bum shell.
"Married? Why? Wait did you say the prince of Thia That heartless fool Dinas?" Thiasus was still not getting it.
"Yes prince Thiasus its real, you have to let her off your mind she's taken already" Milan sat on Thiasus bed.
"No Milan,she can't get married to someone like Dinas, is her father blind or what, why will he put her inside a pit hole.."Thiasus brushed his hair back frustrated.
"We don't know why and we can't question why..all you have to do for her is get her off your mind.this is life my prince." Milan bow his head down..
"This is absurd" Thiasus hit the bed.
Milan know it was painful to love someone only to realize he or she belongs to someone else.
"So when are we going to start our trip to mandre my prince?" Milan ask because since they arrive the only girl he was interested in was not single maybe they should go back to mandre to continue their search.
"No..we aren't done yet" he stood up and left to his bathroom.
Milan shook his head and stood up.they will continue the discussion tomorrow.he is hungry, he needs to eat and he knew Thiasus can't cook. So he just went to carry variety of fruits as he began to munch on them.
