Chapter 201: Rain lilies
As the meal commenced, Izaak watched Melody leave after cleaning the table and taking the dishes away. After having a conversation with Melody, he realized that as the royals they couldn’t do much for the humans upliftment. He decided to talk to his father later about it and work toward it.
As he headed to bed to rest for some time, slumber eluded him as his thoughts were consumed by Melody. Her words, her expressions, her presence - everything about her intrigued him. He yearned to know her better, to know more about her. After a moment of contemplation, an idea sparked in his mind.
"Zerah!" Izaak summoned his personal attendant. The dutiful servant promptly entered the room, bowing respectfully to his prince, prepared to carry out his command.
"I want the flowers to be replaced in the vase," Izaak stated.
"Begging your pardon, Your Highness," Zerah responded, his tone laced with humility, "but the flowers were already replaced this morning." His words were a gentle reminder of the meticulous care taken to maintain the royal quarters.
"I want rain lilies," Izaak stated. "Ask Melody to bring them," he added.
Zerah couldn’t ignore the prince commanded and requested the prince to wait for some time.
Izaak harbored a desire to foster a close relationship with Melody, but he wished for it to develop naturally and over time. His interest lay not just in her exterior but in truly understanding her, in knowing her essence.
However, Izaak also kept in mind that Melody didn’t trust men much when it was about developing relationships. He resolved to make sincere efforts, to show her that some men, indeed, were as precious and rare as gems.
