Rose smiled at her husband and sister.
She was dressed in a red dress to match her vibrant red hair and her hair was filled with some white roses.
"Tell me what?" Rose asked.
Roland wanted to lose his mind.
"Nothing we were just discussing matters..." he said. "A very boring but and I am sure you would not be interested."
"But why the need to hide it anymore?" Cherry asked him. "She deserves to know. I can not put my sister in the dark for so long."
Rose crossed her brows together confused at the way they were both contradicting each other.
Roland’s heart was beating so fast.
What game exactly was cherry trying to play?
If Rose found out that would be the end of it all.
They will be thrown out of the Kingdom and set for exile. Perhaps even worse. Both of them!
Cherry rose up to her feet and Roland grabbed her hand and tried to pull her back.
But she jerked it free from his grasp and went on to where her sister stood.
Roland himself rose up to his feet in anxiety.
His heart was in his mouth.
She looked at the both of them.
"I was tired of this dark secret between us." Cherry said. "My heart is ever so heavy. It has me famished and exhausted. You are my little sister and you know that I will never keep anything from you."
"Cherry stop this!" Roland demanded. "Rose do not believe a word of what she wants to say. They are all lies!"
"I believe that I can choose what I want to believe or not." She said in a very annoyed manner.
Cherry smiled at her and gave a very deep sigh. "The truth is that.....
Rose was leaning in waiting to hear what she had to say.
Roland was already sweating as his stood by his throne, Terrified that he was not going to he do anything.
That this was his very end and Rose would never forgive him once she discovered the truth.
"We were making a surprise snow party!" Cherry said in excitement.
Roland dropped back down in the chair from relief and put his head in his hands.
Rose laughed. "Really? Was that what you wished to tell me?"
Cherry nodded. "Yes. What else did you think I was going to say?"
Rose shrugged. "I can not quite tell. But I must say that it seemed like something more scary. The way you said it."
"Oh now come now sister." Cherry said as she adjusted one of the roses behind her sister’s ear. "You know that I will never do anything to hurt you."
And then cherry pecked her cheek softly.
Rose gave a very awkward laugh. "Well I do suppose that I might have been thinking a bit too far."
Cherry gently nuzzled her cheek and adjusted the wrinkles off of Roses’s dress. "You need not let your head go so far. I assure you that nothing is amiss."
Then cherry smiled back at her and said. "Your husband came up with the idea of making a little snow party for you to celebrate the sudden winter the gods gave us. Look at him all scared to Witt about me revealing it."
"I suppose that a winter party is lovely." Rose said with a genuine smile. "And yes, he does look scared. Like he has seen a ghost of some sort."
They both turned to look at Roland who was still looking exhausted and tired.
And then both women laughed together.
You would believe that there was nothing but pure love in between them.
And no betrayal or detest.
She sighed and said. "But why did you reveal it to me though? You should have let it remain a surprise."
"Dear sister, you have been quite exhausted. Everyone can see it in your eye.s." Cherry informed. "You are losing weight and your sickness has been bad lately. I wanted to give you something to lighten your mood. And you do know that I am terrible at keeping surprises to myself."
They chuckled.
