Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 135

After Eun-Woo left for Jieun, Lia spent time with the other princes. They actually been there talking about the enemy and the result of King Liam and King Arthur first interrogation before. But stop that now as Eun-Woo suddenly leaves.

Ayana also had to follow the princess at this point, even though she was a little awkward there. She never spends time with all of the princes without Jieun  before and of course she can get nervous. But the look from Haru who seemed to say ‘its okay’ made her calm down a little.

In silence, both Haru and Ayana are unaware that the princess deliberately did so so that the two of them could spend time together. She knew from the look in their eyes, even though no one told her that Haru and Ayana did have some feeling for each other and she, like what she always does, wanted to help even a little.

It is actually the unspoken rule of the royal family that they should not associate with lower class subordinates yet palace maids. But, neither the princes or even princess Lia care about those things. But if the higher council knows about that, they can’t deny the big consequences that they must face later on.

But to Lia, even it’s only a day, what’s wrong if the two of them are having fun together. They can’t be caught being only two of them together, so the best way is to be together in a crowd like this.

But first, after seeing Lia there, Ethan, who had been silent and only heard his other siblings talking, suddenly asked her,

“Can you arrange some flowers for me?” He said it softly but all people there can hear that very well.

“You wanted to go to the grave?” Lia continued to catch the man’s intent.

Ethan nodded without seeing her. He still feel ashamed because of what had happened the other day with this girl but he also wanted to thank her because she makes him realize something. Ethan, he never said the word, but Lia can catch that. It’s not the big deal anyway.

“Are you going to be able to go there alone?” Ray shows some concern. The other princes also look at him with the same feeling. Ray already told them about what happen before with Ethan.

Hearing his voice there making Lia, who didn’t want to look at the man since just now, felt a little dizzy. She just keeps remembering their moment together that is never apart from anything ‘hot’. And she can’t believe too much happened between them in the only two times she met the man in private. Also, she can’t believe that she didn’t even think about Syaoran at this very moment, who is now suddenly standing next to her.

Ethan’s eyes looked wild. His face also seemed less confident suddenly. Leo continues to give suggestions.

“Let’s go together then. We also didn’t greet her for a while now.”

As soon as Leo said that, Ethan’s face seemed calm again. Relieved.

So now, Ayana and Lia pick flowers in the garden and are accompanied by all the princes. After both of them arrange it in the prettiest way, Lia handed the bouquet of flowers to Ethan now.

“She loves any kind of flowers. But roses and lily are her most favorite one.” Lia tells Ethan who is now taking the bouquet from her and nods. He actually wants to learn about Mia, even if she is no longer in this world. So, he is thankful to Lia for that information.

Then, all of them walked together to the cemetery. To visit Mia’s grave, which still looks new.

“You’re here early.” Ethan said there when he saw there was another bouquet of flowers on Mia’s grave there.

Lia just smiled. Didn’t say anything about the remark.

Ethan then placed his bouquet of flowers and then stood up again looking at the tombstone with his wife’s name on it. His smile just looking at that. Wanted to appear strong.

“When you get the strength to stand here alone one day, just talk to her. Sometime you will feel like she is still here. By doing that.” Lia told him and Ethan make a mental note to do that next time.

After spending about 15 minutes in the cemetery, they all headed back to the palace. Haru suddenly felt excited.

“How about we play a game now? The day is still early and it’s been a while since we got together like this? Okay?” He is actually wanting to spend more time with Ayana even though they didn’t really can make a conversation there.

It’s quite cold with the snow, but all of them agreeing to that request. They need this anyway. Have fun in a while. Even Ethan didn’t object then.

“Then I’ll get going first.” Ayana suddenly said. She doesn’t want to interrupt their activities also she seems to feel out of the place there.

“Why?” Lia suddenly asks even though she knows Ayana is uncomfortable being there with them.

“Yeah, we wouldn’t mind you joining us.” Leo said.

Syaoran just nodded and Ray just looked at her as if to say it’s okay in silent.

“See… Let’s just hang out together for a while now. I bet Jieun isn’t yet finish talking to Eun-Woo at this time.” Lia said.

Ayana felt a little confused there.

“You come, right? Aya?” Haru suddenly asks her with that name making Ayana jerk instantly. But because of that she nodded in agree. Lia just smiles in satisfaction.

And here they are in the field which is now turning white because of the snow, playing with a slingshot to hit the water bottle target, which surprisingly Ayana is excelling with that. The atmosphere was noisy there.

After playing couple rounds and Lia is losing on purpose, she sits on the back of their other, on the snow and watches them play.

“Is Jieun have a big problem?”She don’t know when Syaoran suddenly sat next to her at that time. Lia feels a bit surprised there seeing him.

“She is fine. She just needs some comfort.” Lia said there while watching Syaoran. She knows he got a crush with Jieun, so she wanted to see his reaction. But there’s nothing. So Lia looked back at the field. Chuckle a little when she sees something funny.

“Are you mad at me?”

Syaoran’s question then took her off guard. She turned back towards the man who was now playing with the snow.

“Why are you asking me this? You’re supposed not to care.” Lia said there.

“I know. But I just want to know where we stand. Are you willing to keep being my friend, or are you wanted to pretend that I didn’t exist?” Syaoran ask. He has no other intentions.

Listening to that, Lia feels a bit angry a little. She makes a snow ball there and start throwing to Syaoran now. Of course Syaoran was surprised by that.

“Are we ten years old or what? We are already an adult. This kind of feeling will pass quickly and one day, there’s no hard feeling anymore. Don’t you dare to cut me off completely as your friend.” Lia is warning there.

Syaoran smile, finally. A smile that he never let Lia watch it before. Then, he also makes a snowball and throw it to her. That is the beginning of the snow war after Haru announcing the war is started after looking at them. Little that they know, their little interaction is watched by Ray with his hand grip so tightly there. And it’s not because of the cold.

After finishing playing around, all of them now split up and start doing their respective jobs. Lia continued to go to her guest room to rest and change her clothes that were wet from the snow.

But after she opened her room door, she being pushed to the inside with some force. Her mouth was closed by a hand, preventing her from screaming. After hearing the room door closed and locked, the person who was holding her then released her there.

“Ray?” Lia was a little shocked there by the man’s actions. His face seemed different than usual. Like he mad about something.

“What’s wrong?”

Ray didn’t say anything, instead he pulled Lia towards him and continued to kiss her greedily.

“Mmmh!”

Usually Lia will melt by this man touch, but this time around she didn’t like it. He is hurting her. With all her might Lia pushed the man away and screamed a little.

“You’re hurting me!”

Hearing that Ray froze there. But his face getting red and its not because what he has just done to her. Lia tries to figure it out now.

“You’re angry with me about something. What?” Lia, who is now calm down a bit, asking him.

Ray sighed heavily now while he gripped his hand tightly again for the umpteenth time.

“Don’t talk to Ethan if I’m or anybody else wants around. You will never know how a man’s heart will be touched at such a vulnerable time.” He said that first without looking at Lia. He actually cannot understand his feeling. Why it seems like he fallen with this girl too fast and too hard each day?

Lia is finally realized. Her face is red now by that. Knowing that he is blur with a jealousy.

“What are you talking about with Syaoran? You’re smiling with him.” Ray didn’t know how childish his talking was now.

Lia is now approaching the man.

“We talk about Jieun. Also, he’s asking me if I’m mad at him and that’s all.” Lia explained.

Ray was a little calmer there after finding out.

“I’m sorry. I just didn’t want a person that I treasure is taken away from me again. I can’t let history happen again.”

Lia cupped his cheek there, forcing him to look at her now. She is a little touched by the confession and she is moving without thinking. Just follow her heart.

Lia then leaned in and kissed him there softly. The first time she did make the first move which is shocking Ray now. After a few seconds, she moves away and said something to ease his mind,

“I promise I won’t leave you.”

And Ray can feel her sincerity there that make him calm.
