Green Tea? Bitch
Flynn and Carey dressed in nobleman’s garnt. Unitard inner, laced shirt, gold-threaded outfit, and funny toreador…
Flynn looked unconcerned. She casually straightened my black hair and adjusted it over a ss of curls. Then she rechecked and said over my shoulders, “You’re all set.”
Looked into the mirror, I appeared a bit absurd. It seed to be my first ti dressing like this, though I’ve watched father and my brothers wearing them for tons of ti. I still felt weird.
“Puff… show off!” Seeing mirroring myself, Carey‘s sounded upset with her stiff voice.
“What’s wrong? Did I do sothing that pissed you off?”
“How exciting to et your fiancee!”
“Nope!” Having been teased for so long I was pretty much immune to such conversation.
“Lying! You’re all blushed!”
“No, I’m not!” My heartbeat speeded up a little.
“Drop it.” Flynn said, “Cohen, you are done here, on your way.”
“Hey, where are you going today?” I asked, “Hanging out sowhere?”
“Yes, we are hanging out!” Carey sniffed, “Without you! Go see your fiancee!”
I dashed out of the room unaware of what happened to these girls.
Sat next to father, I felt carriage flicking.
“Cohen.” Father said mildly, “I know you are not ready for this, but it’s His Majesty Climos’ order. There’s nothing we can change.”
“It’s OK, dad.” I whispered, “I understand.”
“I’m not a big fan of the Pri Minister, as always. Because we have disagreents on so many subjects.” Father continued, “For this, we are never really connected. Perhaps His Majesty wanted to go easy on him, hence the engagent.”
“OK,” I said, and I’ve decided to try to make friend with her, my unt fiancee, and maybe wife in the future.
“Duke Visual Kheda!” A chubby man stepped out, shook father’s hands firmly, “Our best viceroy, my friend! Welco!”
“The pleasure’s all mine!” Father said with a smile, “How are you, Minister?”
“Call Loman, and allow , Visual. We are about to beco one family!” Minister asked, “Is this your son, Cohen Kheda?”
“He is, this is Cohen, and he’s new to the city.”
I stepped forward and addressed myself to Mr. Loman.
“Bless you, son.” Loman attached his hand on my forehead, and told the maid, “Go fetch my daughter.”
“Yes, your Highness.”
“Have a sit.” Loman looked very approachable, “Acadian wine, give it a try.”
“Pleasure.” Father nodded, and showed down, “Nice wine.”
I cupped my glass of wine with a thumb scratching around and gazed at the door through the red liquid. After a while, I picked up a sound of comfortable footsteps getting close. I knew my fiancee is approaching the dining room. I grew much anxiety and my heart was beating like bouncing deer. Such tension was indescribable.
“Father,” What a soft voice, “Am I being summoned?”
I would hide under the table if I could.
“Yes, good girl. et Duke Visual Kheda.”
“Glad to et you. Mr. Kheda. My na is Lisa.”
“Bless you, child.” It’s father’s voice, “You look beautiful.”
“Thank you, Mr. Kheda.”
“My daughter, this is Cohen Kheda. He is your fiance, and he’s attending the Royal Academy like you.”
“Cohen,” Father whispered, “say hello to Miss Lisa.”
I used up all my courage and raised my head. From the tip of a pair of silver sabaton, then silver knight’s suit, and there was a dark blue belt around her waist. A turtleneck decorated by blue patterns set a slender neck off the beauty. Her white cheeks touched with red, and she’s staring at curiously…
“Miss… Lisa, how do you do, I am Cohen Kheda!” Before I could finish, I got all blushed and stared deep down once more.
“HAHAHA…” Mr. Loman and father all laughed, which made my situation even worse, “Lisa, Cohen is new to the Saint City, why don’t you show him around. I’ll have a nice talk with Duke Kheda.”
“As you wish, father.” Gentle footsteps knocked the floor again and stopped in the hallway. Why did it stop?
While I was wondering… father spanked and urged, “Stop stopping! She’s waiting!”
Laughter and laughter… I cleared up and followed… knocked over a wine glass on the way and stumbled by the door fra.
Lisa paced slowly in front of and I went after silently with several servants behind. This situation continued itself until a crossroad… Lisa stopped, turned and hinted .
I approached closely while made an effort to look cool, “Where are we going, Lady Lisa?”
Lisa said with the hint of a smile, “Let’s go to the altar. It is huge and views better, and I don’t like us being followed. That place is only for nobilities.”
“Sure.” I committed to it. Perhaps she was my fiancee, or she used the word us, or because of her fair face and flashy eyes and tender manner… my voice was harsh.
“How is it? Isn’t the view great?” Servants gone, Lisa seed to be extra delightful.
“Exceptional, what is this place for? It is huge, and it has three layers.”
“It is a place for His Majesty when he prays for the Divines, that’s why it’s huge.” Lisa moved to the sideway stairs and rested, “Have a sit you.”
My heart tossed one more ti. I slowly wandered and rested beside her. I tilted my head and gazed at her solely. And thought I discovered her beauty. Every word she said and every smile she made was addictively unique.
“Cohen?” She asked.
“Ah, what?” Could she don’t like watching her?
“Tell about you, I don’t know what kind of a person you are.”
“Yes, Lady Lisa. What do you want to know about ?”
“Everything, you can start from the beginning.”
“As you wish.” I began recalling, “I have black hair, black eyes since I was a boy…”
“Then?”
“Then I found out I can’t use magic…”
“I heard that you hate weapons?”
“You know that?”
“En, they talked about this in the academy.”
“They are right about . Do you care?”
“Not really, anything else?”
“Sure, I have many friends! And I am their boss…”
“Sounds exciting.” She smiled like blooming roses.
“Really? They are here in the city! I could have you et them!”
“I’d say no, your commoner friends.” A male voice ca behind , “How could they et the graceful and elegant Lady Lisa.”
“Who is it?” I turned and found three teenagers were silently standing behind and Lisa, our conversation was interrupted “That's rude, you!”
“Hahaha!” The shorter boy on the left burst into laughter, and he looked ugly, “You have manner? Are you joking, black loser?”
“Please leave!” I had the principal's words in mind, “I’m not a loser!”
“Look at that, he knows the magic word.” The boy on the right was taller, “Black-haired, black-eyed loser!”
“I repeat!” I decided to not step back, “I am not a LOSER!”
“Aren't you serious about that?” The boy in the middle said, and he gazed at like I was a monster, “Are you even a nobleman? Am I right, my darling cousin?”
“Cousin?” Surprised to hear that, I turned and stared at Lisa.
“You are late.” Lisa smiled at that boy like she smiled to earlier, “Don’t call Lisa that way in front of a stranger. Lisa doesn't like it.”
Seeing this and Lisa’s look, my blood was frozen like being thrown into a river. I was freezing.
