Chapter 20: A LETTER TO LADY ENYA (2)

Later that night, Enya dressed to meet the King in his chamber.

She offered a knock, which in no time he asked her to come in.

She bowed at him. ” My Lady.”

” I wish to speak to you, My Lord.”

” Okay, have a seat.” He ushered her to sit down. ” I’m listening.”

” I wish for His Majesty to permit me to go back to Pendamour. I’d be pleased if he grants my request.”

He was shocked at the sudden request. He never expected this… No, nothing like this has he ever thought about.

” And why would My Lady want to go back to Pendamour so soon?” He asked.

” I have decided…” the word choked her that she couldn’t say anything. She looked away from his gaze, staring at her fingers.

” Is there a problem, My Lady?” He asked, worried.

She rose her gaze at him. ” I have to go back home. Please you have to grant me this request.”

” I will do anything you ask for but first, I must know your reasons why. I need to know what’s going on.”

” It doesn’t matter what’s going on, the most important thing is staying alive. This is for your own good, and mine too.

I must return back home before some thing bad happens. Please.” She pleaded.

” What are you talking about? What’s about to happen?”

She couldn’t tell him. According to the letter, Arwen had warned her not to say a word about it to anyone.

” I mustn’t tell His Majesty about it for his own good and safety.”

” You don’t have to worry about my safety, I should be the one worrying about yours. And you’re keeping me restless by trying to hide the truth away from me.”

” I’m sorry..”

” No.. If this is about refusing my proposal I don’t… ” He paused, trying to control the pains. ” Why do you want to go? Why do you have to say no now?

It’s two days. Two days and we’ll be getting married, then why? Why must you have to reject it??” He said painfully.

The hot tears Enya tried to hide fought it’s way out of her eyes. ” I just want to go home. Maybe we don’t deserve each other. Maybe, I’m not meant to be your queen, some one else is.”

” Stop! Just stop this, okay?!” He yelled bitterly. ” Why are you saying all this? Why the sudden change of mind?”

” Because one of us is going to die.” She said, in a shaky voice.

” It’s either you die or I die. And I don’t want that to happen. So, the only way to stay alive is to go home. I don’t want anything to happen to us, and I don’t want to lose you… because I’m not ready.”

” Is it about the letter?” She didn’t say a word. ” Tell me, is about the letter?! Is it?!”

Enya got up from where she sat, storming out of the room. He followed after her, ” Enya! Enya stop okay, talk to me.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry for raising my voice at you.” She didn’t stop until she got to her room, shutting it close before he could make it to her.

” Enya, please open the door.” He begged.

” I’m not angry you rose your voice at me, I just want to be alone. Please.”

The following morning, Arwen had woken up very early. She decided to write another letter to her.

Enya was staring outside the window when the bird flew to her side. She took the letter, hesitating to open it.

Maybe Arwen must have found out what her plan is, and the fear of it being either one of them dies troubled her.

Yet, she has to open it.

She finally did.

It reads;

Dear Enya, I know it troubles you to have read my previous letter, but I have to do whatever it takes to keep you safe and happy in your new home.

I heard father discussing with mother last night, he said Lord Rodriguez has sent him an invitation letter for your wedding.

I have been happy likewise praying earnestly that the gods will always protect you.

I also wrote this letter because I have this feeling that you want to come back. My advice is, do not come back to Pendamour.

Doing so will only make Anna do her worst. Don’t even think about declining Lord Rodriguez’s proposal for anything.

This is your only opportunity to be the great queen you’ve always dreamt of. To be with the man in your dreams.

I do not have much to say to you but, if you will listen to me for this last time… Do not say no to His Majesty. Do not return back until you have make a home with him.

I will try as much as possible to attend your wedding. There we will talk much, but until then, do not do anything stupid.

Least I forget, he has to know the truth. Only him, and no one else.

Your little sister,
Arwen.

Enya took a deep breath. Since Arwen has instructed her not to do any thing she will regret after, and to tell Rodriguez every thing he has to know, Enya felt satisfied.

She needed some one to talk to, and he was the only one to talk to.

She knew he’d be angry for her actions the previous night, but she was ready to face whatever it is.

She was going to talk to him… Tonight.

Now she was relieved. She went out to the field ready for her training.

Joana was surprised by her sudden change of expression, so was Jonah.

Just yesterday she was moody but today, she looked like nothing ever happened.

” My Lady, you seem happy today.” Joana said.

” Oh, of course, I am. I’m just excited, that’s all. “

But deep inside Joana, she knows there’s more to it than just excitement.

~ NIGHT ~

Enya was becoming impatient on Rodriguez appearance.

She has been sitting, waiting for him for almost ten minutes now and the meals were getting a bit cold.

” Where is he?” She asked Joana who was pouring wine into the glass cups. ” What is keeping him waiting?”

” Don’t worry, My Lady, he will be here soon. ” She assured her.

” I am here. ” He said, Enya’s worried heart calmed down.

” Hurry, the foods are getting cold. What took you so long?” She asked, dishing the portage into his plate.” I was worried you wouldn’t come for the dinner.”

” I’m sorry, I was working on some documents. “

” No, don’t worry, no need to apologise. Are you done with them? The documents?”

” Yes, they’re all settled with. ” He picked his spoon, dipped it into the portage. ” You seem happy today, what’s the story behind it?”

She chuckled. ” Every one keeps asking me that. Is it too obvious? “

” Mm-hmm. ” He hummed. ” So, do you want to talk about it? “

” Yes, I do. But don’t you think, we should talk about yesterday first? “

He paused, holding his spoon. ” I thought you don’t want to talk about it.”

” I didn’t, but now I do. “

” I’m listening. “

” You should eat first. You might… lose appetite if I tell you while you’re eating. ” He smiled. ” Come on, eat up. ” She said, returning the smile.

After the dinner, and the maids have all cleared the table, Enya brought out the letter, stretching it to him.

He took it, reading through the writings. Enya watched as his contenance gradually changed from a normal expression to an angry one.

” Who’s writing is this?” He asked, anger sounding in his voice.

” Arwen, my younger sister. It was sent to me yesterday morning. ” She answered.

” Because of this, you wanted to decline my proposal? “

” I was scared I’d lose you if I stay. Maybe that’s what she wants, and I will do whatever it takes to see that you live. “

” I understand how much you really do care about me, but saying no isn’t that easy to understand. At first, I thought it was all a joke, but when I saw how serious you were…” He paused, hesitating at the words. ” I felt broken. “

” I’m sorry I caused you harm. “

” No, you don’t have to. It’s time you see how much I meant my words. I will protect you with my life, you will always be my side every single minute.

I will do whatever it takes to watch you smile and most of all… I’ll make your enemies, my enemies.

And about this, no one is taking you away from me. They rather have me dead instead. As far as I still breath, no one is ever touching you. That’s a promise. “
