Chapter 13 - You Resemble Her

Alex bumped straight to Emmy who was tangled in her array of thoughts. He was waiting for her to appear from the time he had hatched the plan. The pain of desperation made him go crazy a dozen times; and now he won't miss any chance of exacting revenge on Esbertrazian elders and their precious miss.

"I beg your pardon, I am in a hurry to celebrate my brother's great day. Being in love with the person who never takes you for granted is the best blessing. I know it best."

Alex apologised to Emmy and left without waiting for her response. Although Emmy was going to explode in anger, his happiness made her speechless. She thought that Alex was totally frenzied for his brother as he was acting strangely than his usual self. He even said sorry and explained himself. Emmy sighed and returned to her room.

Regardless of the out of mind performance by Alex, Emmy felt him as a poor helpless guy who got played by his fiance and he was still waiting for that girl who was cunning enough to plot against the prince to make him the enemy against the almighty Esbertrazians and to start a war. In the corner of Emmy's mind, the detestation towards Alex's lover grew significantly.

The next day in class, Alex was missing but Mike and Jordan showed their presence. Mike had a jot of pink shade on his face. Emmy was happy for Juliet as their contentment for each other was shining from his face.

"Hey, Jordan, where did the hot potato roll to?" Emmy threw a question at Jordan for which Mike replied, "Hello, he is preparing for a feast for celebrating my love day. He is a bit stiff but towards my happiness, he might get totally crazy. We have a place at the beachside, so the party is planned there, I know Juliet will be inviting you but it is my responsibility to call my classmate who helped me to concede my love. "

Emmy hesitated a little but after confirming that Janet will also be attending the fun, she accepted the invitation. As the classes finished, the three friends along with Mike and Jordan set off to the beachside party.

The beach was called Eros, famous for the venue for wedding ceremonies as there was a belief that if a couple gets married in the Eros beach, their love shall be for eternity. When the gang reached here, all were awed the Eden before them. The setting sun and the creamy waves washing the shore created that wonderful scenery. Juliet and Mike went for a walk straight away reaching the apartment facing the sea. Janet went to search for shells on the shoreline; Jordan wanted to go but as Emmy was alone in the house, he decided to stay back but his focus was totally on Janet who was playing with the waves and collecting the seashells.

"Are you interested in Janet?"

Jordan sweated profusely when Emmy who asked the question out of a blue moon. He was an alpha guard and she was the lady of the Dagardian family. He didn't know when all these feelings started to come across his mind. He was an uptight gentleman, only loyal to his master and the whole Esbertrazian clan but never thought of having a family because his own family was from the Agnartic but ruthlessly slaughtered by them for privilege reasons. The great master Rotrigues had helped the only survivor of the bloodbath.

His family parents and siblings were slaughtered in front of him and the little Jordan had fainted with all those scenes in his eyes, so he was really afraid of having a family or even dreaming of such things.

His silence made Emmy realize that she hadn't asked anything about him, she just knew that he was a guard and bossed around him many times. She looked at him and tapped over his shoulders.

"Don't worry, I am here, whatever sorrows are there in your heart and let it go. Then only you can achieve your goal in life. Look at me, you know everything about me right. we have to fight for our happiness because we deserve better."

It was after a decade that Jordan was solaced by someone. The first time was after his tough training when he decided to avenge his family, their young miss stopped him and had comforted him to think of the future, to eradicate a whole clan, power was needed and she asked him to get powerful enough to fight those animals. He adopted every training session seriously and became powerful though to trample the lowly clan but then their Miss went missing. Jordan felt an unusual surge of secureness inside him. He looked at Emmy and bowed before her.

"You resemble the way our young miss thinks. She was the only one who had lent me shoulders to cry on. Thank you for this advice. It means a lot to me and I will chase my dreams after finding our Miss."

Emmy and Jordan were indulging in their own conversations when suddenly Alex, who was busy since morning, popped up. He could see his buddy and the little lass was somewhat close to each other.

"Ha, You guys have arrived, where are the ones for whom I have organized this beautiful evening?"

"Hi, we just came. Mike and Juliet went for a walk whereas our friend Janet has also come, who is now at the beachside" Emmy calmly replied.

Alex smiled and showed the rooms which he had prepared for both girls and boys. As there were three rooms and six people, he arranged two people in one room. Finally, it was decided that the couple will share one room, Alex and Jordan in one; Emmy and Janet in another. After a while, the other three also returned and they went to their respective rooms for freshening up.

After dinner, all the six were sitting around the campfire and Jordan served the best-vinified wine. Janet was asked to sing a song where Mike was playing lute. Juliet suddenly had a naughty idea which she proposed to Mike in his ears; she was scared of Alex even if he was her husband's elder brother. Mike announced it and everyone agreed to it. The idea was to play a game, where the wine bottle would be spun and the person who gets pointed by the bottle has to choose between a dare or to answer a question from fellow mates.

The first round started and the one who got the chance was poor Janet. She chose to answer a question truthfully.

"What is your concept of your future husband?" Emmy asked with her usual evil grin.
