43 Be It Than!

Drizella braves herself as she knocked on the door and walk inside. She saw Jasmine giving her a wary smile and hesitation can be seen in her movement. She directed her eyes at her (Drizella) than somewhere else again and again. Making Drizella puzzled and interested, she turns her wondering gaze towards that direction to see a man inclined in a chair. His gaze was sharp, piercing, and full of wonder. It gives Drizella a shock, sending goosebumps throughout her body.

WHY IS THE KING'S BROTHER HERE! PRINCESS?!

Jasmine's eyes avoided her as she guiltily looks away.

Jasmine was hoping Noir would come as the girl version since the one her uncle, Kasim want to meet was the servant who was attending her during the War Celebration. She just hopes her uncle, Kasim would compromise with Noir the boy version.

Kasim stare was so penetrating, Drizella felt cold sweat running throughout her body. A few minutes later there was still silence and she felt she has turned into a slime. She slightly glances at Jasmine, to see that her soul has already left her body, almost making her (Drizella) want to scream.

She quickly spoke before Jasmine die of intense silence, "Yo... your ma... highness, what reason did you call this servant here for using the princess's name?"

She wanted to add 'And can you stop staring, pervert!' but she didn't, not wanting to offend such a haughty person.

"You are nothing like her," Kasim mumbled under his breath.

Huh? Who is this guy talking about? Like who?

Kasim signaled everyone to leave, even Jasmine was no exception. Drizella was the only one facing him head-on... it should be head down. She didn't dare to raise her head. She keeps feeling that this person is trying to peer at every layer of protection she has and looks at her inner self. This feeling happens with Francis too, only that she didn't sense any force from him. However, in Kasim's case, it's like being an apple. He would bite you in half with the skin on. Moreover, she has a very bad feeling in her stomach.

"I ask for your sister, so why are you here?" Kasim questioned.

At less, he isn't overbearing and is polite in his language. She answers, "Your highness knows that my twin sister is injured and healing power have no effect to curing it. She is still laying in bed waiting for her injury to heal by itself."

"I see. Then let's visit her."

"NO!... Your highness, my sister is still feeling unwell and she isn't in the castle and... unable to answer your questions. Let me answer them on her behalf, we are twins after all," Drizella waved her way around with her words, not allowing him to leave the room and went to an empty bedroom.

Kasim glance at her and light up the recording the device, only showing the part of her playing the bamboo flute. He asks, "Where did you learn this song?"

Drizella was feeling shame as she watches how cliche everything in the video was and didn't hear Kasim. Her mind is turning in seconds trying to figure out what Kasim has asked her. She can't lie her way through this but it doesn't mean that she has to tell the whole truth.

She opened her mouth and couldn't stop the truth from spilling out, "This song is called "Waiting for the Snow to Come" however, its original name is "Falling Snow." It is a joyful song, showing love through hard times and overcoming obstacles together. It's like the lyric was composed by two people or maybe not? However, the one I heard since young has a mixture of happiness and sadness. It debuted about a girl's heartfelt love and her cries... I learn this song from my mother, at the same time not from my mother."

Drizella's mind was a mess. Even if she doesn't want to speak, words are coming out. She doesn't want the truth to come out, they still do. She was feeling very lost in the situation she is in.

"What is the name of your mother?" Kasim questioned.

Drizella doesn't want to speak, but her mouth has a mind of its own. It slowly moves and her voice voices out, "Camilla Tremaine..."

Drizella realized what is going on. Seems like Kasim is using some sort of control on her, making her answer him truthfully. She doesn't know the conditions or requirement to activate it but she knows that truthfully doesn't mean the truth. As long as she believes it is the truth in her mind, it would be the truth when she speaks out. Since she figures that out, telling a few lies might not be hard.

He holds the edge of the chair, lifting himself off the chair. He walks past Drizella and the door open for him as a servant rushes in. He whispers something to him (Kasim) and stand to the side as Kasim walk out of the room.

...

"What did my uncle ask you?" Jasmine asked excitedly.

Drizella looks at her sparkling face comparing it to her face before from seeing Kasim. There really is a big difference between the two. She sighs, "Princess's uncle ask me about the song I played during the War Celebration. And I think Princess's uncle wanted to know how I can speak the Desert Kingdom's langauge when I'm not a native of this plain... however Princess's uncle didn't get the chance and left... more like he didn't care now..."

Jasmine tilt her head complating what her uncle wants. She asks Drizella with a serious face, "Why were you crying?"

"What do you mean? I'm not though."

"Not that! During the celebration you were crying. And how come my healing power doesn't work on you?"

"...It's complicated. Why is princess being targeted?"

Jasmine stayed quiet for a second before huffing

a sigh, "So be it than... It's because of my arrange marriage."

Drizella widen her eyes. Not believing Jasmine's statement. The two princesses from Disney have arrange marriage...! There is a man waiting for Anastasia.

Ahhhhhh! Why are people engage so easily now a days?

JUST LET IT BE! LET IT BE. DRIZELLA.
