56. Another love mess

"Rise," he stood up immediately, "what are you?"

"Wind fae, I used to live in the wind clan before I moved to live on earth."

"You have wings?" I asked excitedly, the solution was staring at me in the face.

"Ur…yes?"

"Fantastic! I need you to fly me to the peak of the mountain, ASAP."

"Now?"

"Don't you understand, ASAP? It is vital I get there, please?"

"It would be an honour," he bowed. Right before my very eyes, his shirt ripped as his wings sprouted out, his beautiful oyster white wings. He swept me into his arms and took off, it was phenomenal!

I explained to him why I needed to get there as he flew higher, and I got to know he was lonely. He came down hoping to find love, but only got his heart smashed a couple of million times. Finally, he dropped me at the freezing peak. I lifted the seal and called on the queen's name. Nothing happened at first, until a tornado from nowhere came out and swallowed us.

The ride to the wind land was terrible, I almost threw up. Finally, we were vomited on a cloud, this place was more unbelievable than phoenix's. The whole castle was made of diamond! The grounds were clouds and the whiteness was beyond description. I was still gawking at the place when someone cleared her throat. I turned and saw a woman standing there, her white cloud dress merging with the ground beneath her feet. She was beautiful, the whitest being I had ever seen.

"Welcome to our home, keeper, our queen is anxiously waiting for you," she eyed Gustin, "why is he here?"

"Gustin, my assistant," she nodded and walked inside. Gustin didn't even act like he just saw a goddess, he wasn't smitten one bit. We followed her into the castle, Gustin muttering to himself until we got to the living room. Just like her, her sisters were white and beautiful, nothing but their crowns and face identifying them. "My queen," I bowed to the eldest and the queen.

"Juno, what a pleasant surprise, I assume you are here for Esme?" I nodded, surprise she knew already. "I was hoping you would come, I have some conditions before I can grant your request."

"We," the third one said with excitement, "I'm Anila,"

"Breeze." The one who ushered us in said coldly.

"What are the conditions?"

"Breeze here has always wanted to see a human perform and dance for her, so if you don't mind…" I smiled at the queen, it had been years since I danced to someone, but I still knew how to move. Grateful for my simple furry jeans and jumper, I did give her one of my best, pretending like Emy and the others were there with me.

Breeze was smiling and clapping by the time I was done, the coldness was gone. Then Anila made a ridiculous request that I be her best friend for seven days. I had no choice, I agreed to have tea parties and slumber parties with her.

"Any other unusual request?" I huffed.

"Yes, what I want for my request is that you find me a wind creature that is ready to stay with me for as long as I can endure him, one that will fill me up with sinful pleasures. I am tired of my boring life." Queen Aira said all this while eyeing Gustin, making her interest in him apparent.

"You will never give up, would you, Aira?" Gustin sighed, running his hand into his hair. I was shocked, he called her by her name.

"Not until you give in, Gustin, I always get what I want, and you are the one stubborn thing I can't have." Her sister giggled.

"I am not a thing! Aira, I want to avoid having to be with you, honouring you because of your position and enslaving my freedom and happ…" I sensed another love drama I was about to be dragged into. Getting dragged into such mess when I had my own relationship problem was an ouch.

"I can make an oath to give you freedom to go anywhere you want, you can be my king and not feel belittled, I promise." Aira said desperately.

How long ago have this been going on?

"You should be happy that the queen is in love with a being like you, stop showing off." Breeze huffed snootily. That doesn't sound right. He shouldn't be made to feel like that over the woman he probably loves or is destined to be with. I folded my arms and cocked my hips, throwing dirty glares at Breeze.

"This is precisely what I am saying!" Gustin yelled furiously, "everyone keeps reminding me of how lucky I am to be selected by you, what about me?! I wasn't lucky to be selected, I don't want to feel lucky, I want it to be because you actually love me for me! I knew you as Aira, the shy wind nymph who kept messing up my garden to play with my pets, not a queen! I didn't know you were a queen when I married you, had no idea who you were when we first made love. So why the fuck is everyone treating me like a beggar?!" Okay, the story went deeper than I thought.

"Gustin…" Aira sobbed, "ignore them, I don't…"

"Sister, don't cry for him!" Breeze shouted. Gustin huffed and flew out.

"Gustin!"

"Now look what you have done," Anila said chidingly. With the gush of the wind, Aira was after Gustin.

"Wow," I breathe, "I keep running into the right and yet so odd situations, what was that all about?"

"My stupid sister fell in love with a common fae and married him behind our backs. Now the ungrateful thing left her after he found out she was a queen, who does that?!"

Bitch.

"Someone who truly loves her for her, that's who." I put on a fake smile, "from what I've observed, if there's anybody hurting your sister by chasing the love of her life away, it's you. You are not entitled to make him feel less of himself, you don't have the right to judge him when all he has done is love your sister. Do you think you are trying to give her the best? No, you are not, and it's time you learn to keep your big mouth shut." Without waiting for one more second, I turned and followed the couple out. I found Aira sitting at the bottom of the staircase, crying bitterly.

"All I want is for him to come back, but he isn't ever going to take me back." I sat down beside her and pulled her into a hug.

"He loves you, luck hasn't really given him anyone else since he left because you and him are meant to be together." I whispered. Call it intuition, or me just being a know-it-all again. I mean, I did meet him of all people.

"I don't think so," she sighed. "Give me the seal," I puzzledly brought it out and handed it over to her. She took the seal from my palm and blew cold frosty wind into it, "you can go now, my Pegasus will be waiting for you outside to take you to the water personification." She said softly.

"I promised to be friends with your sister and I will," I stood up with a grin, "and before I leave here, Gustin will be yours again, you just need to make him want you, and tell your big mouth sister to keep her opinions to herself."

"And how do I do that?" She asked curiously, "him wanting me part?". I eyed her royal gown and sneered. That was a part of the problem. Gustin already went out with humans, and we all know humans are naturally born temptresses. Her outfits won't do.

"Let's do this the human way."
