Blooming Spring Flower- Chapter 4

Blooming Spring Flower - Chapter 4

Quite short. Drama between queen and prince.
A little chapter remebering that we musn't forget where we came from, nor ignore the past: we must treasure certain moments and memories, that we've been trough and made -us- the people we are!

Are you out of your mind?” the queen questioned her son, Blake.

They had left the ballroom nearly two hours ago, and could be now found in the prince’s old secret chamber “The Lullaby”. It was his old play room, where he used to play with his best friend in the “whole wide world” : Heather.

“I don’t know why you’re so…tense” the prince explained “it was bound to happen, you know: finding a proper wife and getting married”.
“Heather was a proper wife.” the queen snapped, with a threatening look “You know that fairly well…or at least you knew. What is wrong with you, Blake? Have you forgotten about your promises?You said you loved that girl more than anything in the world, and were thrilled to marry such a lady…”

The queen’s expression had softened. She approached his “little boy” , placed her hand gently on the prince’s hair, caressing it softly. She kissed him on the forehead, smiled and sighed deeply:” I wonder, what really happened my son. You used to be such a loving, caring and spirited boy…”

“Mother, can’t you see? I haven’t changed - she has!” he stubbornly argued.
“You haven’t seen her in years now; you could have at least given her, a chance to -”
“ Face it” he cut her speech “ She’s different now: you said it yourself”The queen was silent. She was sitting on a pink “Teddy Bear” shaped bench, where Heather used to sit next to Blake, during “tea parties”. It brought tears, to the poor queen’s eyes, just to think that all of that had been swept away from the prince’s mind.

She queen stood up, slowly walked towards the door and called her charming prince:”Come, dearest: we mustn’t be late for the ball”
