Unspoken words

"Many a times, he says more than he talks. His voice doesn't reaches my ears but his expressions reaches my eyes."

As I approached the doors of the room I will be living in, I saw my friends standing outside trying to open the door.
"Princess." Liza and Windy nodded as they saw me coming.
I reciprocated by nodding.
"What happened to the door?" Xavier asked addressing to Windy, "I don't think you are that weak to open the door."
He said with humor in his voice.
Although he was talking to Windy but his eyes were fixed on Liza. It was hard to ignore the blush Liza was trying to hold.

Oh, my my. So something is cooking here.

I made a mental note of asking Liza about Xavier.

"We can open this door Xavier, you know this." Windy said with a frown on her face.
"I bet you can." Xavier shrugged his shoulders as if challenging them.

"You can try yourself." Liza replied ,looking everywhere but at him.
" Okay then , will you mind getting a side ladies." Xavier came towards the door pushing girls aside.

Xavier pushed the door, nothing happened. He tried again with all his power and a cracking sound came from behind. Windy sniffed a giggle and Liza was trying very hard not to blush. I too was having a hard time controlling my laughter. Finally we gave in and started laughing our heart out, the guards joined us too. I saw Liza hiding her smile behind her blush and staring intently at the floor.

Oh, he doesn't like if someone makes fun of Xavier. Ahem Ahem.

"Okay, I think the door is blocked." Xavier said, embarrassed by our sudden out burst.
"Exactly I was trying to say the same thing, this room is closed since many years, so I think the doors got jammed." Windy replied.

"I think that too, otherwise,
what's this door in front of my strength"? Xavier joked and we started laughing again.

While we were busy talking in front of the room which was assigned to me, I saw Ruez approaching us.
I could tell by the look on his face that he was still angry.
His eyes met mine and I could read a thousand things going on in them.
He came to a halt in front of us.
The happy environment we had created evaporated at his arrival.

"What is going on here?" He questioned Xavier. "I had sent you along with Ayra , so that you can escort her to her room. And what are you doing here? Laughing and having fun? So carefree? You are the guards of this palace! Control your emotions!" He shouted at them.
Angry was dripping from his voice.

"I am sorry sir." Xavier said,his face red from embarrassment. "But the door to this room is jammed."

Meanwhile Ruez looked at me and then he took a deep breath.
"Call the carpenter to fix it as soon as possible." He told his servants still looking at me. His voice sounded less threatening then before.
"Prepare my mother's room for Ayra."
Everyone looked shocked by what he said.
"Queen's room , my prince?" Windy asked to confirm his words.

"How many mothers do you think I have? "
He questioned back. His voice sending cold Shrivers down my Spain.

"I.. I am sorry, I didn't mean it like that.." Windy whispered in a shaky voice. "All I was asking is no one is allowed to go to.."

"I know, just do what I said. It's an order from your prince." Ruez interrupted her.

Everybody bowed.
Ruez came towards me and whispered in my ears ,"I will fetch you later for dinner." And the next thing I know, he was gone.

I was beyond shock like before.

"Where did he just go?" I asked nobody in particular.
"He can walk with the speed of light. Yes he has the power of Air and fire." Xavier replied.

"Power of Air and fire." I was staring in the direction he disappeared.

"Come we will take to your new room." Windy said taking my arm.

Ruez has powers , that too of two elements. I really need to find out the ways in which they differentiate powers. May be today I will ask him or someone else about it.
May be not today, Ruez was looking very angry. It looks like he is worried about something. May be about the person I saw in that mirror? Who was he and what he actually wanted from me? What was the reason that Ruez and Roze became so worried and angry the moment I mentioned him?

We were walking towards the chamber's of the Queen and I was engrossed in my own thoughts. We came to a halt in front of a big white door embedded in diamonds. I gaped at the sight.

A room, which has a door of diamonds! What would be inside it?

I was beyond excited to see the interiors of that room. Xavier took out a Silver key and took a deep breath. As he was about to put it in the keyhole, a voice came from behind.

"Stop." She shouted. We turned around to see Aunt Maira approaching us.

" What are you doing , with whose permission are you opening this door?" She asked or rather shouted at Xavier.
Her face was covered with a mixture of shock and anger and her eyes were ready to pop out.

"Lady, prince Ruez has ordered us to open this door. Princess Ayra will live here till her room is ready. " Xavier explained. She turned her head to look at me with those angry red eyes. Giving me a look nobody had ever gave.

"Oh, Ruez has said it.He gave his mother's room to a girl he just meet. Oh this mating thing, it changes people so fast." Her voice was filled with sarcasm. She did a fake laugh.
Echoing in the whole corridor.

She sounds like a vamp of some daily soap.

"I can't do anything then, I suppose."
She said, addressing to me. "But don't touch anything which belongs to my lovely sister Esma. They are her reminders. We don't want anything to get damaged, do we?" She laughed again.

Before I could reply and say something in return she walked away with her lady servants.

"What's wrong with that old lady?" Windy said, frowning.
"Did you do something, you shouldn't have?" Added Liza.

"I don't know, she behave wired around me. Like I have taken away her beloved things." I replied, in a hush tone.
" You don't have to worry about her, she indeed is a pain in ass." Windy said.
"Windy, mind your words." Liza scolded her.
"Before that, she should mind hers."

"You know, after that incident , she has become so corny. Mother ones told me about her story." Liza told Windy.
"What story?" I asked.
"Story of Maira and her lo.." Liza began.
Windy gave her glare and she stopped mid sentence.
"I don't know if we should tell it to you Ayra." Windy explained . " May be some other day, when we have a little less company." She hinted towards Xavier.
"Okay." May be they don't want to talk about it in front of him.

"Ladies, I think you should move on , before Prince Ruez comes again."
Came Xavier's voice from behind us.
"Please." he bowed. He signaled me go inside.

The moment I stepped inside the room, I knew it belonged to her Majesty The Queen.
