Capítulo 18: A buzzing street
After thinking for a while, Asa went back to his chamber.
Next day he woke up still thinking about what Queen Melissa said. He had to resume on his plan of investigating her because yesterday she tried to appear as good as innocent but she can't convince him and that is what made him still suspect her.
Zayn came to his room informing him about Lady Chalamet. She was here this morning asking to see him.
Didn't she hear his words ?!. Then why is she at the castle again??
He didn't like it when people play dumb and acted like they didn't hear him.
But when he heard from Zayn that she had an important matter to discuss it with him, he quickly grabbed his coat and went outside. Zayn showed him the way to the gate.
Marianne was standing outside the castle gate and was refused to get inside, she had a flabbergasted expression when she was told by the guards that she was forbidden to get inside the castle under the queen's order.
Prince arrived at the gate and witnessed the situation, he ordered to let her inside but the guards declined and silently pleaded with their eyes for the prince not to mingle with this matter, actually they knew who had an upper hand in this since it was the queen who ordered them to stop Marianne from getting inside.
Her power exceeds everyone in the castle but he didn't know if it exceeds the king's.
Then he was thinking if he wanted to get lady Chalamet inside he had to go to his father and ask him for his help but he can't bother his father for such small things or else he didn't want to appear as a powerless son to his father.
He will deal with this issue alone, he made the decision.
Not wanting to gather the attention of more people peeking to the commotion displayed at the gate, he muttered to Zayn.
"Bring my horse. I need to go outside"
Zayn hurried as he understood his statement but he nudged him at the shoulder "And another horse" he hastily nodded.
As soon as he thought if Marianne had something to talk with him which is important it is better to speak it outside the castle away from the prying eyes.
His eyes landed on the helpless Marianne outside the gate. She looked lost and anxious, he wondered why?!
But his eyes swiftly shifted to another side when he heard the sound of horses galloping on the pebble floor. He was surprised when he caught the sight of soldiers on the horses and Cosmos was one among of them.
Probably none has heard his order clearly !!
He wanted to go alone but it seems now a group of soldiers should escort him.
"I said two horses not ten horses with men on them" he uttered to Zayn who came running to him.
He only said" Forgive me your highness, Cosmos suggested that we should come along"
"And who is Cosmos??"
"It's me, your highness" raising his hand to the air kiddingly he said to the prince, probably he was aware that the king's son didn't ask to know who was who.
After climbing on the horse, he told Zayn to remain at the castle and he will only let Cosmos and his comrades to tag along as the castle gate opened he urged for lady Chalamet to leave her escort and join him with another horse.
Almond with no choice helped Marianne getting on the horse after that he watched his lady disappear away from the castle walls.
On the way to the unknown, Lady Chalamet asked the prince where is he intending to discuss her matter.
He remained silent until they reached the outcast of the castle and there it is a heart of the capital, Ruins street town.
The street was bustling and had a romantic night out trip setting as many couples walked stretching their hands to one another, sliding around the random corners of the street.
Many taverns and indoor guest houses spread out through the buzzing street, noisy and busy costumers were showing their skills of traveling in and out of them.
Asa noticed the reaction on lady Chalamet's face, he can tell that was her first time visiting the street and she was ashamed when noticing here people do not care about their proximity.
She hopped down the horse clinging to her dress when one young man walked past her with a young lady's hand on his, a jug of an ale in his another hand.
She watched them snuggling and laughing as they entered one of the tavern close to them.
The owner of the tavern hastily welcomed his guests inside, she watched him with less anticipation when the owner came to them with hurried delightful steps.
"Welcome guests!!" he coaxed with a wide smile on his face, he distinguishingly looked like a happy customer rather than the tavern owner. His eyes were lovely wandering over the noble, elegant lady in front of him while impassively she reluctantly gave him a blank stare.
Marianne couldn't let a small-black mole on the left side of his cheeks went unnoticed when his face plump and round mesmerized under the scorching sun.
"Good day, Tarimo. I thought of giving you a short visit after returning to the castle" said the prince.
After catching the glimpse of him, the tavern owner called Tarimo fastly delighted "Is it you, your highness. I failed to notice"
Asa exchanged pleasantries with the man and without delay he welcomed him in.
