CHAPTER 13
Jimin woke up sweating heavily like the other time,the headache is here again
“I saw her again, I saw my beautiful guardian” he said, smiling despite his headache
” But my head….” He groaned, waking Cory who spranged up and walked to him
” Jimin what’s wrong”
“Headache, my head is just…. ringing” he said, holding it tightly, sweating abnormally
” I’ll go get the palace physician” Cory said and made to go but he stopped him
” I’ll be fine don’t go….”

Kimora’s room**
She spranged up from her bed too, she just had the same dream Jimin had
She’s breathing heavily
“My different self… and prince Jimin?, Why?, Why am I seeing things?” She wondered and touched her chest, her hand touched something hanging down her neck and when she touched it, it’s a necklace
She got down from the bed and went to the mirror, headmaid Ambrosia gave her another one already
She stared at the necklace and surprisingly it’s the one he gave her in the dream, her heart skipped a beat
“And the mark, I’ve always had the mark, I have it” she thought, turning her back on the mirror and checking her neck out, the mark is there boldly, small flower tattoo
“What’s the meaning of all these?” She wondered.

Next morning**
It’s the day of King’s festival and everyone is just in a festive mood
The festival involves the king’s parade round the town in an open palanquin with the royal family
It creates union cos the two princess will ride the same palanquin and the two princes will ride same, then only a queen will be allowed to attend it yearly and queen Sera is the one this year
The town paths has been decorated cos it is to be taken by the royals today
“It must rain today, the thunder last night means something” Ginelle thought, walking round the town to watch the festivities
She bumped into someone and staggered
“Are you blind like a bat or something?’ she questioned when she saw the guy
“Oh..the girl who came to the palace on the day of the execution?, I heard you’re kimora’s sis” he smiled
” So that’s why you planned to kill me” she rolled eyes
“I’m sorry I bumped into you, I’m Brayden, a twin brother to Janis, son of Morris Jung the king’s senior brother” he said
” I never said I needed introduction so stop being a pest and just leave, how annoying” she said and left quickly
” I heard she’s crazy, so it’s true” Brayden smiled.

Royal palace**
Everyone is busy preparing to go for the king’s festival parade but excluding the maids, the maids were forbidden from attending the festival and Tania almost cried
“I’ve been planning this for long, how can they forbid the maids from attending” she complained
” The royal shaman said it so just sit” headmaid Ambrosia said
“Kimora won’t you say something?” Tania said to Kimora who’s sitting silently on a kitchen stool, thinking about all that has been happening
“I don’t care about anything right now, I just want to dissappear” she whispered and Tania hissed
” You’re weird in case you dunno” she said
Kimora stood and walked out of the kitchen only to come across Cory
“Lady Kimora, prince Jimin needs you right now” he said
“What’s wrong?”
” The headache, you need to touch his head before he’ll go for the festival I beg you” he said, pulling Kimora already
” Wait I need to…
” No time just follow me!” He said, running with her to Jimin’s chamber
Janis sighted them entering Jimin’s room and looked on confusedly
“What is she doing in his room?’ he thought
Kimora got to the room and truly Jimin is in pains, holding his head on the bed, he’s dressed for the festival already and he looks more handsome with the single earring on his right ear but the pains looks unbearable
“Do something please” Cory said
“He might fall asleep like he did the other time and won’t be able to attend the festival” she replied
” Just do it” Cory replied and she walked up to him
She sat beside him and gently held his head, he closed his eyes and stopped groaning, he calmed down Immediately
“Please don’t sleep,you can’t” Kimora prayed silently and he opened his eyes slowly, she smiled
“Your highness” she said
“I’m ok, I don’t feel sleepy’ he said
” It worked, I really need to cut your hands and steal it” Cory smiled as Jimin got down from the bed
” As if you can” she replied
“We need to go right now we’re late” Jimin said,
Cory helped him with his shoes and his cap
“Thanks Kimora, I need to go now” he said
“Come out five minutes after” Cory said and left with Jimin
” I’m relieved” Kimora smiled and saw a fan on the bed, obviously a royal fan
She took it and fanned herself with it, looking around the room
It’s super clean and smells nice!
“Just like him” she blushed.

Queen Rachel’s room**
The maids finished dressing her up and they all kept wondering where she’s going cos everyone knows it’s queen Sera who’s following the king this year
She stood with a knowing smile on her red lips and sent out the maids
She walked to the mirror and picked her magic fan, she fanned herself with it and her face changed to Sera’s face immediately
She smiled at the transformation before dropping the magic fan, she then picked the royal fan she stole from Sera’s room
“You’re sitting here today Sera, I’ll go in your place” she said and left the room

*”***
The two princess came out at the same time and everyone gasped at the beauty
Royalty is pretty in the multicolored robe and her makeup is as simple as her beauty and her hairstyle is gorgeous, adorned with silver jewelries
Suzy is beautiful too in the yellow robe and her face held a frown as usual, her ears and hair were bedecked with golden jewelries
“Princess Royalty is so cute!”
“Princess Suzy is pretty too, just that her frown…”
The maids whispered among themselves
They looked at each other and Suzy smirked before entering the open palanquin
Suzy entered with her and they kept a good space between them
Jimin came out with Cory and none of them seems to be able to take their eyes off Cory, he used single earring on his left ear just like Jimin, they’re both too cute!
“Prince Jimin is handsome!*
” I want to faint!”
” It’s a killer handsomeness”
Cal came out with Darrin and without waiting, he entered the palanquin meant for the princes
Jimin entered with him and a good space was kept between them too
Every of the royals has their royal fan of honour with them except Jimin
The palanquin carriers carried them and moved them out of the palace to join the festival
King Jung Mal left with Sera since some minutes ago…
Queen Sera came out to find that the royals are gone, she was busy searching for her royal fan of honour and that’s why she has been in since
“They’re gone?, Did he leave with Rachel instead?, How can his majesty do this to me?” She said, keeping in her anger.

Kimora came out of Jimin’s room with the fan and head straight to the kitchen
Headmaid Ambrosia and the other maids are there, eating and chatting
“Since we’re not allowed there, then we’re doing ours here” Tania said
” Isn’t that the royal fan of honour?, It belongs to who?” Headmaid Ambrosia asked
” Oh, it’s prince Jimin’s” Kimora replied
“What!, It’s a sign of honour in the festival, used to wave, he can’t wave to the townspeople with his hand, he needs it direly” headmaid Ambrosia said
” Huh?” Kimora said
“What do we do?, And we’re not allowed” Tania said
“I’ll go give it to him” Kimora said, rushing out of the kitchen
“No Kimora wait!!” Ambrosia shouted after her but she never listened…
