The Royal Contract Chapter 141
Advertisement
"Last day, what do you want to do?" Dani asked Alex as they laid in bed together, finally feeling more comfortable with their situation.
Who knew that after only a week of being together, they would end up in bed? Again. Well, not her. Besides her, the only people who would be shocked about their new situation would be Jacky and his friends, she thought.
She did not regret any of it. Since yesterday, when they got back from the island and in the villa, she believed that she made the right choice of agreeing with Alex.
"Honestly?" He answered her with another question, raising his brow at her as he stared into her face. When she looked at him, he continued with his response. "There is nothing I will rather do than to lay here in bed with you in my arms."
She shifted in her elbow so she could have a better look at him. "Come on. I'm serious. We could not lock ourselves in this house for the rest of the trip. My parents are probably thinking that we are already cooking their first grandchild."
She suddenly remembered that incident at the dinner the other night. She could still not erase the memory of their parents' faces as if it was the magnificent news they ever heard.
All discussion about business became a blur as all their attention went to her, Alex, and their future babies. The only consolation she found from the whole scenario was the face of Edward, who was not satisfied with the news.
"Then, let them think of it. But I hope that you are not seriously thinking of making one this soon." He teased her, knowing that it would make her explode.
But seriously, he too thought that they were not yet ready for such a responsibility. They were not even sure where their relationship would take them.

Alex believed that they still had a lot of things they needed to learn from each other. Adjusting to their new relationships would still be a difficult task they had to master. Plus, planning for the future eventually would be the most difficult one. That was if ever they got past the other obstacles.
"Of course not." She hit him with her palm on his chest, which he caught with his hands and kept in its place. "I know we are not ready for such a commitment. Well, I guess I am not." She said honestly.
She was not sure what was going on in his mind, but she still believed that they still had many things they needed to talk about in this relationship. But she did not want to rush it. They still had a few more years to think about it and plan for it.
For now, she believed that they just had to get past the getting to know each other part was their priority. Then, the rest would follow. It was easy said than done, as the saying went.
"What about you bring me somewhere special. Maybe your favorite spot or a place why you wanted to return to this place." Dani said as she untied herself from his hold and ran into the bathroom. She knew if he caught her again, he would not let her go to do her thing.
She was enjoying herself with this vacation. She loved this house they were staying in because it was something magical. It looked like it came from a fairytale storybook. If she only had one thing she wanted to change with this place, it was the lock on the doors or the lack of it.
"Fine. You win." He walked into the bathroom while she was in the shower. Then, he went straight to join her.
"Stop that." She warned him as he started to tickle her on her side as he stood at her back. As she said, she wanted locks on the door.

"You are no fun. But I will let you get away from me this time." He turned around and lathered himself while she finished washing.
He knew that if he did not stop, the idea of going out would go out the window, and they would be staying in his bed the entire remaining of their stay.
It took a lot of his self-control to stop himself from touching her, but he wanted to indulge her wishes. He would do anything for her to make this relationship work.
"Where are we going again?" She asked as she tried to match his stride on the grassy lawn.
He told her that they would first go to an important reason why he kept coming back to this place. But they had to walk. Luckily, she wore a sneaker today or else, her shoes might get stuck on the muddy ground.
"It is not that far. Do you want me to slow down?" He asked when he saw her struggling to walk on the grass, remembering the last time he saw her in this similar situation.
"Are you sure there is no other way, or are you just taking me to another shortcut?" She asked, remembering their incident with the motorbike.
"It is a shortcut, but I think it is not as dangerous or life-threatening as your experience the last time. A little mud on your shoes would not kill you." He reasoned as he continued on his way.
"Fine. I don't mind." She answered. She did not like to complain. She was just not used to walk in this kind of environment. Living in the city, she rarely saw grass and mud. Well, except in the park, but not like this. She rarely stepped on them when she jogged, always staying on the concrete path.
"Then, hurry up because I still want to show you something else." He could not help the smile that crept on his lips, but he quickly wiped it off because she might misconstrue it with something else. He was just happy that she was trying to do it his way instead of insisting her way.
"Here we are." He announced as he stood in front of two concrete tombs with a cross on top of it. "They are the reason why I always come back here."
She looked at the grave in front of her, surrounded by a beautiful garden. It was not that far from the house, but the path was a bit rough.
"Who are they?" She asked as she tried to read their names.
"They are my grandparents, the king, and her queen. They don't want to be buried anywhere else but beside each other. My Nanna wants her body buried here, so my grandpapa also instructed that he should get buried right next to her." He stated with solemnity in his voice.
"You must love them." She said, remembering her grandparents too, who she also loved deeply.
"Yeah, they helped my parents raised me, especially my Nanna, who said that I was her favorite. But don't tell the others that. It was our secret." He whispered as if he was afraid that someone else might hear them.
"Of course, I will keep it to my grave." She even crossed her heart. "They must love each other that until death they don't want to be separated."
"Yes, they did. My grandparents were a perfect couple." He would never forget their stories when he was growing up. "They were the ones who taught me the value of true love."

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
