I didn’t think that Masoma would be the one to encourage me to go home. I didn’t think she was going to tell me anything like, your family is waiting for you. Even though I didn’t believe her one bit. She didn’t know that I was guilty of what they had accused me and the only reason why I hadn’t given Triss the journal was because I had found out she married Karl.I didn’t even know whether to say it was a blessing in disguise that I hadn’t given it to her because I didn’t know if I would still be alive. I tried to believe what she had said, that my people were trying to break me out. Depending on the way the war had ended, I knew that the Zadok kingdom although free would not hear the last of it. They would convince together and come up with a better plan to fight the Berg’s again except that I knew the Berg’s as well would be ready for them.“You know medicine to an xtend so I already left all your herbs and everything you’ll need in your medicine room” Masoma informed me and I nodded
Masoma had been right about the drugs she used on my thigh. It had scalded over quickly and the pain wasn’t there anymore. I had spent two more days in Jonathan's room before he allowed me to go back to my room. Those three days were days of him apologizing over and over again and then cuddling me to sleep. As much as I hated it, sleeping in his arms was far more peaceful than I thought it would be and in fact in his arms, I didn’t have even one nightmare. I slept soundly without any sort of dreams or nightmares or visions, anything at all. I only slept and woke up, that was all.We had a few conversations around random things and Jonathan would tell me about random stuff just for the fun of it. I liked it but returning to the room and I was right. Juaillanna and Serena were both happy to see me. They crushed me in a hug but they soon noticed the abnormality with me. Juaillana was the first to rush me questions before Serena stopped her. They both then decided tactfully not to ask any
Serena’s words didn't leave me for a few days but it finally left. Destiny was fickle and so was fate, it could change sides any time, talk about a chameleon. That was what fate was like and before you would be the only one on your side, getting fat on your side was useless so I didn’t bother trying.There was a knock on the door and I raised my head from the book I was wearing, the door knob opened slightly and a guard walked in.“His highness requests your presence” he announced and I stared at him before nodding my head. The guard walked away immediately. I closed the book I was reading and stared at the door the guard had just closed.Jonathan had sent for me? What did he want? Had they found something?I stood up from my seat anyway. I hadn’t seen Jonathan in two weeks. I knew he had gotten busy but I had no idea what he was doing. I knew that there had been some issues in the kingdom but I hadn’t bothered to think about or bother about it, it wasn’t my business so I stayed away
“I thought you had left” it was the fourth time Juniper was saying that he thought I had left since we met. I burst into laughter again.“I told you Juniper, I already promised you that I would tell you goodbyes if I ever want to leave” I repeated and Juniper chuckled, nodding his head at me.It was Serena that had informed that Jupiter had asked for me and after they had caught me sneaking, the security of the palace had increased so to sneak Juniper into the palace to see had proved impossible. So I had to go out and meet him.Juniper had almost burst into tears when he saw me. He pulled me into a hug and hugged me tightly. It was the time we were having such close contact but I didn’t mind. Apparently, the only reason why it took him a while to find me was that he had been ill and had to treat himself ro a while, it had taken him a while for me to realize that i was gone but before he started believing that had gone, Serena and Juaillanna had assured him that I was fine.Seeing th
Nothing happened.Nothing at all.Days rolled into weeks, and weeks into a month and half. A month and half passed after the war with the Zadok Kingdom and nothing had happened afterwards, it was as though the Zadok kingdom had gone radio silence, no one tried to save me although my eyes was wide awake through every night, hoping that someone would tap me on the shoulder and tell me that it was time to leave. I had promised myself never to get attached again to this place because I had to leave soon but yet I still had to live.Me and Jonathan were another matter altogether. I didn’t know why but it just happened like that, I had promised myself never to allow myself to be near him or give in to him or even trust him ever again but I found myself doing exactly that. I could never help it around him, holding myself back was the best I could do.We had settled into a routine that I didn’t know how to explain to anyone. He refused to allow me to do any work, bluntly. I was a slave and ye
That day, something shifted for me and Jonathan. It was shocking that he didn’t directly kiss me, I was surprised and I'm sure that he was too. I wouldn’t have resisted, there was no way I would have too, I wouldn't even want to resist either. The time we spent together was less because of the wars but Jonathan found a way to see me everyday and it was starting to become true that he liked me. There is no reason to do everything that he did for me. Absolutely no reason at all but he did it anyways and it always made me happy, to see him, to see his efforts and every other thing always put a smile on my lips.“So when is it going to be ready?” Masoma asked and shrugged.“I have no idea yet” I replied and she nodded as we both leaned on the wall staring at each other. Masoma had come to check up on me in the palace and we had discussed the herbs I was working on and random things. Masoma was fast becoming one of the people I enjoyed spending time with. “You know you look so much better
The encounter with the Princesses wasn’t exactly pleasant for me even though Masoma had defended me, it reminded me of a life I once had, a life I might never have again and it wasn’t going to be anybody’s fault but mine. I didn’t know if I missed being a princess, missed being compared daily to Triss, being nagged against and everything else but I knew that I missed my family, I knew that i missed my mother and my people and everything else I would do back at home and somehow Runa and the rest had managed to bring to my remembrance something I was so confident that I had forgotten about, apparently I hadn’t and in all honesty, there was no way I could forget about it but I could only pretend not to.I rolled my elbows as I carried a tray of cookies and tea that the kitchen had asked me to serve Jonathan. I couldn’t wait to tell him about the encounter with the Princesses, I wanted to see his reaction, maybe he would laugh it off or get angry or just be straight neutral about it, some
“Oh my” Serena squealed in delight and I had to hold her from falling off her chair in the process. She was to excited for her own good The moment I told her what I had held, Serena had jumped up in excitement and happiness. She was nearly as excited as I was and it made me laugh, made me happy.“I told you!” she yelled.“I told you that I was rooting for you” she said with a bright smile and I nodded, “I know you said that” I replied and Serena shook her head.“But that’s just beautiful, I can’t believe he admitted that to elder Tao and the rest” she squealed and I nodded.“I can’t believe it either, how hard can it be?” I asked, shaking my head and Serena grabbed my hands.“No you know Amira, now you know he feels towards you, he even said if he agrees, he wants to marry you, doesn’t that answer all of your questions. He was scared because of the history between you two but I’m sure he loves you, I mean you have always wanted to hear him say it and now you have so, tell him too oka

Masoma had been right about the drugs she used on my thigh. It had scalded over quickly and the pain wasn’t there anymore.

“Amira please” Jonathan pleaded again.“I have wronged you and I know that everything you have said, you are right. I’m not so good with words and no matter how hard I try to explain it won’t make sense and it won’t change how you feel or the things you have gone through but I want you to know that I am sorry. I am really sorry to have caused you this much pain and I do really hope that you forgive me. I am sorry Amira, please, come with me” Jonathan pleaded again but I wasn’t having it. I wiped my tears with my hands and sniffed.Staying away and keeping my distance from him was the best course of action for me. I couldn’t go back to it. It was the best way for me to try and live my last days in peace.Jonathan edged closer to me, leaving very tiny space in between us as he grabbed my arm.“Amira please” he said and I turned to look at his eyes. They were red and dull, he was sorry. His eyes, words and every one thing was proving that but how was I supposed to trust him again. How wa
