Chapter 5: Darling, don't make me wait
"After the second day, all memories of witches from the history was wiped out, leaving people with only rumours from the darkness."
"It is truly amazing." Ella agreed nonchalantly and turned towards the prince. He was also looking her way. Eyes clear and bright indifferent as if the person they were talking about weren't her at all. Dean could only shake his head smiling and returned his gaze towards the road.
He slowed down his pace and let her pass him. They were already by the outskirts of the forest, exiting it, in front of them an endless flower field reached the horizon. They were in the middle of the field, whereas the girl before him completed the painting. A beautiful lady in midst of the flower field.
With a light hand turn, a little wind had gathered up and swept through the flower fields, making the petals flickering in the air. The petals filled the air as if serenading the one in it.
Ella lifted her hand and caught a few petals. These tricks could truly sweep any girl off their feet, she thought. But she wasn't an ordinary girl and these tricks were also within her reach.
Turning back to him, she gave him a "are finished now, so we can move on?"-look. This earned fresh laughter from the former, saying docilely.
"I guess the miss wasn't impressed."
...
They arrived at the market rather early, yet all the market sellers had already shown up and finished setting up their stands. Ella coming late was something they were used to, but what was unusual was this handsome lad beside the beautiful lady.
"Who was this gentleman? Why were they together? What was their relationship?" Ella could hear the murmurs among the elders. She could only give them her best smile and walk by as she ignored the handsome person beside her as if she didn't know who he was.
Going to her usual place, she began setting up her stand and took out the things that will be sold for the day. Today was a beautiful day, even though Autumn was approaching, it felt like spring. Therefore, she prepared fresh pomegranate juice and homemade brownies with fresh berries.
The berries consisting of wild strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries were plucked yesterday from her garden as they had grown up plump and beautiful. Thinking they will go well with a rich cookie, they ended being the menu for the day.
After finishing setting up the stand, the handsome prince by her side had yet to leave. Looking at sitting on the chairs meant for the customers, she asked gingerly.
"Didn't you have some business?"
"I am at it right now?"
"Right now?"
"Yes, dear. I am to accompany you at your shop. A serving of cookie and berries please, also a cold drink."
She wrinkled her nose by the order, an unconscious action she'd when she was feeling problematic. But with the order, he was her customer, thus she could only comply.
Dean sat there staring at the girl in front of him amusingly. Her antics were refreshing and he didn't mind spending all day watching her. The young prince didn't notice he himself wore a blooming smile.
As her things sold out in no time, it was just a bit later after noon Ella gathered her things to leave. Behind her, followed a handsome man as usual.
Deciding to ignore him still, she took her usual tour around market to buy groceries for her dinner. Yet even how much she tried to conseal her aura, the latter didn't thus gaining them a too much unwanted attention, gaining her too much unwanted attention. He, on the hand seemed to enjoyed making her flustered.
"This young man, who are you to our Ella." An elder behind an vegetable stand asked, she was probably the fifth one already.
"That I must our Ella myself, you see, I am what she allows me to be." Dean said dotingly, glancing towards Ella as if asking for permission. This one may be better than his last 'I wish to become hers' yet all his answers were frivolous and dandy. His answers always gave the elders a belly gul of goodwill laughter.
"Oh dear, our Ella is truly blessed. Ella darling, you must let this good lad wait too long." Another one had become one of his supporter.
The conversation made Ella's cheek blooming a shade of pink, making her look adorable and seemed to be shy.
In her case, she was infuriating. First, she never got a chance to tell people their relationship which were nothing. What fictioned ambiguous relationship was he implying the had? Second, people didn't believed her even if she corrected him, blaming she was too shy to admit it. And lastly, they were all too charmed by the demon prince. Right now, she could only mutter curses on him to appease the anger in her heart.
"Yes, my dear. Don't make me wait too long. But if you can't decide, it'll still be alright as my heart is set on you and so I'll wait."
[Just you wait! I'll have waiting til your death!] Having suffered too much from the verbal attack, she stumbled on her way home. Still behind her was a handsome lad, following her as she was his owner. The road from the market to her home her never felt so dreadful and long before. After they both entered her house, she turned around fuming in anger.
Soya had ran out to the living to welcome it's owner but met upon a staring competition. "Awoooooh!" Translating: Mommy! You are home! Sadly, Soya was ignored. His mommy was having a hard time tackling a big demon.
"You! What do you want?"
"Awoooooh? Aoooh! " [Are we talking about dinner? I want meat!]
"You."
"Awoo Awoooooh?" [Stupid demon, mommy can't be eaten. Or can she?]
