Chapter 58 Her way of matchmaking

CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
They look at me. What I expected it to become really happens. I guess I can be a matchmaker if things are done. A matchmaker and a potion maker. Why not? I smiled and speak again.
"Actually, when the night that I lifted the effect of the erotic potion. I already cancel the effect of the faithful potion. I just lied because I wanted to push Nathan into his limits. I guess it works."-I said.
"What?!"-they said. They look on each other and sat down as they re both embarrassed after learning the truth. Yes, I didn t learn about those potions yet, but after I used my blood, it was like a multipurpose medicine. Kind of? I sense that the effects of the potions are cancelled at the same time.
"I haven t learned about those types of potions yet because I am concentrating on potions that is for medications. But I did cancel the effect at that time."
"Why did you fooled us?"-Nathan. I chuckled.
"Simple. I saw how worried you are and I accidentally heard your thoughts at that time. That s why I used that chance to push you a bit. Your being too sly, Nathan. I guess you have to face your own feelings and maybe you just need someone to push you so…I did."-I said. He sighed and smile later on.
"My goodness, that s a good trick, Cynthia."
"Because everyone here needed a little push. You guys love to play hide and seek."-I said.
"Tss. My goodness, you are acting like a matchmaker."-Yael. I smiled and clap my hands as I point my fingers on everyone. They blink.
"I agree. Maybe I should put that on the list that I wanted to do as a job."-I said. They burst in laughter. Ulysses flick me in my forehead. I pouted.
"You won t do any other job, missy. You are the queen of this kingdom. I am telling you that is a difficult job."-Ulysses. I smiled.
"And so? I can t create a doppelganger of me. That will stay in the store while I am doing the queen s job. Wait, did I just agreed?"-I said. They laugh even more. This time he pinch me in my right cheek.
"What a silly witch."-he said. He let go and speak again. I hope everything will be okay as soon as possible. I wanted to live my life at the fullest with him and everyone. 'Mother…I wish you are here.
"Then its settled, three wedding will be held tomorrow under the moonlight."-he said.
"You and Cynthia should have their ceremony on under the full moon next week."-Pricilla. He smiled.
"Yes. We will."-he said. I cough. They look at me.
"Now you are the one who always been surprised."
GEORGE QUINN POV
I knew that Ashley is having a deep thoughts about the things that we learned. The problems that are being hide to other people. She is still that woman that I trained years ago. I suddenly remember that.
"Mentor! This is hard! Cynthia is also struggling! How can you do this for us! You said you will protect us but your like a devil teacher!"-she said.
"You won t learn from soft trainings, Ashley. If you really wanted to learn then accept the challenges."
"Ashley, its okay. We can do this. Let s go, mentor I mean master is right. We needed to be strong right? You wanted to be a knight, remember?"-Cynthia.
"Exactly. Of your dreams are fragile then quit!"
"No! Let s go, Cynthia."-she said. She carried the 25 kilo sack of sand. I made them go up and down this hill as they carried those sack. It should be three times with a time limit of half an hour.
"If I became a part of the knight army, I will be in a position and have men myself. I will never be like him! Tss. He s super stingy."-Ashley. I laugh.
"Hey, he can still hear us. Come on, let s go."
"Ohh. Okay."-she answered.
A tap on my shoulder wakes me up from reminiscing the past. Its her. I look up to her.
"What is it, Ashley?"-I ask. She sat beside me.
"Go back in the capital. I knew the crown princess is waiting for you. Also, can you hide the things that we discovered? Don t tell her nor her parents."
"I know what your trying to say. Not a problem for me. But I don t have any plans of going back un the capital yet. I wanted to know more of the missing incidents around the villages in this kingdom."
"But how about her?"-she ask. I decided to lay down her lap and I can see her genuine expression.
"I don t care about her. I don t know why but all of a sudden, I hate seeing her like I always do."
"What? But these past days you keep on boasting her to us. Why is that?"-she ask. I just shrug my shoulder and close my eyes. Her scent is soothing.
"I don t know. Let me take a rest for a moment."
"Commander…"-she mumbled. I sat up and push her down. She look at me. She s beautiful even she s wearing her men clothes. I claimed her lips.
"I change my mind."-I said. I start caressing her. When the morning came, she is not here. But the door opens and she came in with a tray of food.
"Let s eat."-she said. I smiled. We enjoyed the food.
"Ashley, I made up my mind. Let s go together."
"Huh? To where?"-she ask. I put on the last piece of my armor. She is wearing hers after all.
"Let s talk to Cynthia. I want to talk to her."-I said.
ASHLEY BRIDGE POV
I tried to hide my jealousy but he still saw it. He lifted my chin and give me a quick kiss.
"Jealous, huh?"-he said. He us teasing me.
"No! If that s what you have in mind then, let s use this teleportation spell that she gave to me."
"You went to her?"-he said. I nodded. I put my hand on his shoulder and burn the talisman. Then the next thing we saw is the Skyfall castle.
"Ashley? George?"-aunt Clara. We both smile. We ran to her and hug her. She laughs.
"Long time no see you two."-she said.
"We meet just a few months ago."-we both said.
"I mean like this. I knew you are here for Cynthia."
"I can smell a familiar scent."-Pricilla. They come out from the windows one by one. She smiled.
"Yo!"-she said and even salute. We smiled.
"Cynthia!"-I said. We ran to her and hug her.
"Wait a minute. Too tight!"-she said. We both laugh and let her go. She looks happier and blooming.
"Being a wife seems to be a good idea for you."
"Kind of. But…this is the first time that you two came together. It s bad news, isn t it?"-she said. We both sigh and nodded. She shook her head.
"Then let s talk over that in a cup of coffee."-Ulysses.
The utensils are floating. I feel like I am really in different world. They all waiting for the news.
"I knew you have an idea about the certain missing people in Dawn kingdom."-George. She nodded.
"Guys, we are here to bring—visitors?"-Rita. Ulysses signed them to seat as well. They did.
"Yes. We have an idea about the missing humans in Dawn. I guess the two of you are investigating about that, aren t you?"-Cynthia. We both nodded.
"There are some witnesses who just pass a letter on us and leave like a wind when we visit some villages. It was written that they saw those men wearing a knight seal. They are telling their families that those are going to be trained as servants nor knights. But when they visit the capital, they can t find them."
"Yes. Exactly. There are also a letter who said that most of those acts are done while the wedding celebration of commander and Gabrielle are held."
"I knew that. I went to the castle just a couple of weeks ago to visit Gabrielle. I went down the dungeon and using my power, I have retrieve memories of humans being tortured and drug on that place where I also spent countless times. Father is one of the people who are trying to scheme something. He is also a part of the slaying council."
"Pufft! What?! Are you sure of that?"-I ask. She nod.
"Damn it! I knew it, something is happening."-I said.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
"But why did you bring George with you?"-I ask. They look confused and George look at me firmly.
"Don t get me wrong. I trust Cynthia. What I mean is…you re the crown princess s husband. What if you will tell them things that you will hear from us?"
"Rest assured that I won t."-he said. Ashley seems to be bothered and I can tell some reason.
"Okay. I knew you won t be lying. Yael speaks.
"Maybe you should learn the truth. You are under the love spell. How can we be sure that you won t say anything to your wife when she ask you."
"What?!"-they both said. Yasmin speaks next.
"Remember the day we visit and give our gifts?"
"Yes. Of course. I am also surprised that you two are their allies."-George. She continued.
"We are. When the time that you cut your finger, we smell a different fragrance from your blood."
"Yasmin search for it and we learned that the fragrance we smell is from the love potion which is forbidden to sell. Which means, a witch gave that potion to her. To control your power in the knight army at the same time to have you."-Yael.
"Damn! That s why everyone is surprised when I invited them on that wedding celebration."-he said.
"Exactly. That s why we are doubting you."-I said.
"Now that you learn about it. Cynthia can help you regarding of that matter."-Clara. He sighs.
"Can I ask something, George. Will that be okay?"
"Of course, Cynthia. Tell me what is it?"-he said.
"Did you consummate your marriage to her?"
"No. We have been busy receiving people that are congratulating us and we end up sleeping tiredly. I also leave after two weeks because something comes up in the borderline."-he said. Miranda sighs in relief. Which is means, its easier to cancel than my case. That s a good news anyway.
"But I have done it with another woman. Will that affect? I.."-he said and look at Ashley. The curious expression of wife is on, again. I smiled.
"To Ashely? When? How? Tell me?"-she said.
"We are both drunk! Yes! An accident."-Ashley.
"I am not that drunk and I still remember what happen that night. I am sober. But yes, I have her in my bed on the first night after I visit them again. After my wedding to Gabrielle. I also notice that I have the same feelings with her again before the wedding day. I hate her again."-George.
"What is the meaning of that, then?"-Marko. The elders came and we stood up to greet them.
"Yes, we knew that we always visit and brings bad news. Well, we have a problem, again."-elder Tony.
