CHAPTER28-HURTFUL-THOUGHTSOnce they were at the library, Zina took one last look outside to make sure no one was on their trail before shutting the door. She heaved a sigh of relief,"I had to make sure no one was following or listening to our conversation, it could be really dangerous for our plans and please your majesty, Nanny Ann must never find out about this okay?" Xavier made a light sound notifying her that he understood what she meant. He sat down opposite her's, staring directly into her hazel eyes."Can I ask you Questions about your parents?" Xavier spoke, using his eyes to scan her face for any signs of disapproval but he found none, so he proceeded in his question;"How did your parents die?" Zina's expression remained unfazed. She realized that if she wanted to get this man on her side, she needed to be free and pretend to trust him."I will tell you how my parents died only if you tell me how yours died too." Her words were firm, leaving no room for bargains. She sta
Zina spent a long time in her room, she refused to see anyone, not even Ann. She didn't give up as she worriedly bangged the door, yelling continually for Zina to open but Zina didn't. She eventually got tired so she left hoping Zina would come around. Xavier passed through the ghosted hallway wondering if what he had done provoked Zina. He knew she wanted to kiss him but Ann ruined everything. Just when he thought about that witch, he bumped into her. She seemed disorganized, her body language, even her manner of approach to him wasn't as collected as before.She gazed angrily at him, he knew some part of her wanted to question him about the incident but she couldn't bring herself to question the young king.She cleared her throat before telling him about Zina's situation. She asked him to at least visit her to find out what was wrong to which he agreed. On his little walk to Zina's room, he thought on what to tell her.He needed her true feelings to be revealed so he could be sur
Nelly excused herself from Zina's presence. She couldn't stop crying as the memory of her husband flashed back like a video trapped in her head. She ran to the maid's quarters to get a bag, thereafter, she ran out the palace, deep into the woods.She ran for a short while before getting to a cottage located deep in the forest. The chimney seemed to be working which meant her mother was home. She frowned at the thought but she stepped in anyways. Her pale looking radiant skin was spotted in the dark cottage easily. She wore revealing beadlaced clothes, showing how young and beautiful she had always been."What are you doing here Delilah," Nelly questioned her mom without any form of regards for her. She hated her mom for abandoning her to marry a warlock. Her grandmother told Nelly her father died because of her mom's cry during childbirth and after that, her mother ran away. She didn't believe at first till the day her mother confronted her after so many years. She remembered not
She recalled her husband telling her how glad he was that they had a daughter to bring smiles on their faces after he had given her the sad news. He told her he had been sick for a long time And he didn't want to tell his old mother so she wouldn't be worried. He knew his mother hated Delilah so much and would blame her for his death so he asked her to run away, leaving her child behind. Nelly woke up tired, her body felt sore and she had a bad headache. Her eyes scanned her room to see her mom sleeping on a chair close to her bed, she was sitted in a slack position and her body didn't seem to be balanced making it seem as if she could fall any minute. Nelly whispered to her mother's hearing to wake up, gently shaking her to make her mother fully aware she was awake.After administering the treatment Nelly needed and after dinner, she sat close to her daughter as she felt there was a lot of explaining to do. She told her about her dad and why she chose to marry a warlock after Nelly'
His breathing was uneven due to the little run he had from where his disappearing spell had dropped him. He threw himself on the old dusty couch near the fireplace. His home was dark and gloomy with a sense of gothic presence. He got up from his dusty chair and headed towards his room. Spiderwebs hung everywhere as he made his way through. He pushed what seemed like a thousand year old cutton aside, not giving any attention to his patched throat. His main concern was that woman he captured in his orb.The masked man took the orb to a deeper side of his home where creaking of the wooden floor and doors were heard. He placed the orb down, taking a large book from the shelf close to him. The book made him cough hard when he looked through its dusty pages searching for the right spell to free Delilah. His cough came to an immediate end the moment he finished dusting the book. He squeezed his eyes trying to read the letters on the book which was almost impossible due to the little words
Levi was in a good mood, he sang, adjusting the buttons and arm of his cloth as he got himself ready, planning to visit the princess. He had written a letter to formally invite Zina for a dinner party at his home.He would have given it to the mailman but he knew Ann wouldn't deliver the letter to Zina. He took one last look at himself in the mirror before heading out, his destination, the palace. The chirping of birds on the hot sunny day added to his mood. He kept smiling, waving his hands to those on the street as a form of greeting. Levi felt on top of the world, today is the day he would finally feel like a complete man.On reaching the palace, he was asked by one of the maids to wait in the palace waiting room while she went to inform Princess Zina of Levi's presence."Did you just say Levi is here?" She got up hesitantly and excitedly but moved carefully when making her way downstairs, holding elegantly unto her gown to prevent her from falling.The sight of the princess cause
Dinner was peacefully romantic, the red candles and red rose petals around the dinning table made it look beautiful. Levi together with Zina sat down opposite each other as they had their meal quietly.Levi hardly ate the food on his plate, he was lost in thought, wondering what Zina's answer was going to be when he popped up the mystery question. Her soft voice caught his run-away attention the moment he saw she was choking.She kept coughing, her hands signaled how she struggled to breath and her eyes were teary. She looked scared and her bright face turned red like the colour of a tomato.Levi gave her the proper assistant she needed. He stood behind her back, placed his hands at the necessary places and administered help to her. After much struggle, she spat out the piece of food blocking her airflow.Due to exhaustion, she fell lazely on Levi's arms. Their faces, only an inch from each other as their noses touch. Levi leaned in closer to capture her lips but she place her index
Zina turned from left to right on her gigantic size bed. She was unable to sleep as the thought of Levi's proposal popped up in her mind. Never had she dreamed of being proposed to the way Levi did. she ruffled her hair with her hand, screaming into her pillow for comfort."I think I made the wrong choice, Levi was right, I'm selfish. I put the kingdom first." She cried some more only to be disturbed by Ann's knocks."Go away, I want to be alone," Zina told Ann firmly. Ann was angry but her greatest joy would take place at the break of dawn. She spared one last glance at the princess' door, swiftly moving to her room without delay."Akeelah stop hitting the door and just come in like you usually do," Levi spoke in his husky voice. When the banging refused to stop, he got up to see who was at the door but before he opened the door, a group of men in black clothing broke in. Their faces were masked making it impossible for them to be identified.They formed a circle around him to preve
-PLUS CHAPTER."Levi please wake up. I love you, I'll admit it anytime. Just open your eyes." Her eyes were red again and her cheek damped in her own tears."That's all I needed to hear." Levi chuckled lightly as he stood up."So you do love me?""And you love me too." She answered back as she hit his chest. "Don't ever do that again!" She yelled and was about to walk away when Levi pulled her by her waist."Now that everything is settled, what next?" He asked, causing her to face him. "Rebuild the kingdoms and free someone from darkness." She smiled before hugged Levi tightly.Meanwhile, at wanda's house, Abby laid down exhausted. Her eyes were closed and her eyebrow kept twitching which meant she was having a bad vision."Wanda?" King got dressed as he observed Abigail's face."I'm having a feeling things are going to be bad." He replied in fear."I don't want Abby to be taken away from me again." He confessed and Wanda smiled."If dad comes we'll be ready." The end.I hope you e
fINALLY"Please don't tell the king about this, I want it to be a suprise okay?" She told the maid once she had gotten to the door."Ok your majesty, I would do as you say." The young maid took her leave."You're amazing, were in, what next!""My sister is in there we have to save her." She opened her door and her eyes widened in shock as she gasped in suprise."What are you doing?" She rushed to Zina's side and pushed Xavier away."Finally, I can kill two sisters the same day." He smirked as he dropped Zina to the ground. He was holding on to her neck, sqeezing the remaining life out of her when Xena arrived."It's too late, she's dead and so would you when I'm done with you. Guards!" He called out and in no time, guards swooped in blocking the entrance."Take them away and out then in the dungeon before I figure out what to do with them." "I'll come back I promise!" He yelled as xena was being taken away with Levi.At the dungeon, Xavier examined xena's face. He seemed charmed by h
- FIGHT SEMIFINALLY"No!" Xena screamed in the middle of the night as she jerked up from the bed."What is it?" Jenny asked in a sleepy voice. Her palm rubbed her eyes as she yawned tiredly."Levi and I have to get moving, my sister is in trouble." She said in a haste as she got into comfortable clothes."Can't you wait till the morning? It's very late, you can tell from the skies." Janet tried to persuade her but Xena was gone."Levi, Levi." Jenny banged loudly on his door and soon everyone was gathered there."What is it Jenny?" Levi asked in concern."It's Xena, she left. She said it couldn't wait the morning. It seems her sister is in…" before Janet could complete her statement, Levi slammed the door to her face. Another moment, he came out all dress. "I'm going after her." He told them before leaving with Akeelah."Go ahead, when you see her, convince her to wait." Levi told her with a sad tone as he sent her flying.It took some while but she finally spotted Xena by the road si
CHAPTER101-Don't hurt them."Dad?" She called out feeling scared."You're awake, good! It took everything I had in me not to kill that boy." He said in disgust. "I'm sorry. I never knew they were coming here." She spoke innocently, her eyes narrowed to the ground."I'll make it up to you just please don't hurt them." She held onto his arms but he yanked it off."Would you really do anything?" He turned to her, his eyes looked at her in a sinister manner."Yes." She said in a hurry."Good girl." He smirked before telling her everything."No! I won't do that." Her face was squeezed and she seemed mad."What's so evil about taking over the human race, for years we've been kept in hiding, it's time to show them what we're really made of. We'll attack and put them under control." His eyes scanned her from head to toe before speaking again."You better keep to your own end of the bargain." He was wearing a neutral expression and his feet were tapping the ground far too many times."Dad, I
CHAPTER100-Killed"Wh_at, what are you doing?" Ann shuddered, when her eyes came upon Xavier."You're adding something to the juice you want to give Zina. That explains why she's not getting better!" Ann roared angrily."I caught you sleeping with a maid and I thought it was a mistake but now I can clearly see things. What was your main objective?" Her eyes studied Xavier as she mumbled some words. "You can't harm me old fool, I'm under a protection spell and there's nothing you can do. You think your Zina is so smart to rule this kingdom and mine? Well now I'm doing something my father couldn't do, I'm taking back my kingdom and yours." His smile knew no bounds as he slowly approached Ann. "I would have given you poison to kill you from the start but I let you leave because I thought you were clueless. Now you know too much and I'm afraid you have to die. He cast a spell which caused her to be unable to breathe. She struggled for a little while before collapsing in his study.He
CHAPTER99-APOLOGIES.The rest of the journey was quiet. No one wanted to talk because there was nothing to be said."How far?" She spoke after a long while."We're here." He answered, pointing to the huge house in front of them."Is this Janet's house?" She asked with a smile."No. This is Wanda's house." She didn't speak, however she just looked for a way to come out of his hold."Do you need me to drop you?" He asked and she nodded shyly."I didn't mean to stare at your lips." She explained with a narrow gaze. Her cheek was red due to embarrassment."You didn't answer my question from the beginning." He stared at her for a long time but she turned her face away. "Is it better if I don't answer you?" She gazed into his eyes causing him to sighed tiredly."It's fine." He said, gesturing to her at the door."Aren't you scared?" Xena, who was in front of Levi, turned back to look at him before turning back to the door."It's just Janet there's nothing to be scared of." He assured with
CHAPTER98-WHAT DID YOU DO."How bad?" Nelly questioned king with a stern look on her face."You should understand what Abigail did hurt me so I went into down to have fun and I some how kisses another girl. I didn't know how it happened I swear I thought it was Abby." His hands were shaking and his mind didn't seem to be alright."It's okay dear. It happens you just have to forgive yourself. Did you get drunk?" She asked him and he nodded sadly."Because of Abby? You should know drinking doesn't solve the problem. Look now you tried to drink to solve the problem and them you feel guilty." She explained and he just nodded in shame. Thing we're happening which was hurting him.Firstly, Abby was gone and now… he had broken her trust again. "What do I do? Have you heard from her? We need to go after her." He tried to convince Nelly, however she sighed and called him in."Please Nelly, understand me, we can help her." He held Nelly's hand close to him."King, I know she hasn't told you,
CHAPTER97-SICKLY."How are you feeling my love?" Xavier asked Zina feeling concerned."I feel sleepy, weak and my body's burning." She replied in a weak voice. "Please send for Ann and I need a glass of water, could you bring it to me?" She gave him a weak smile and her face wasn't as bright as before."I'll do that." He replied before walking away."How's she doing." Ann said once she bumped into Xavier."She's not getting better." He replied looking sad."I think we should call the royal physician, what do you think?" Ann gazed at him so he could answer the question."That would be a good idea." He replied wearing a saddened gaze. "She asked to see you. I'll go get her the cup of water she wanted." He replied walking away from Ann."I'm so happy she had someone so lovely to take care of her." Ann murmured to herself before going to see Zina."Nanny!" She exclaimed weakly, slowly turning her head. She was trying to seat up but Ann was able to stop her on time."What are you planning
CHAPTER96-ALONE."You're crazy!" His words sounded like something she could never understand."What? Is that the only thing you can tell me after saving you?" "Save me? Why and when did you have that monster as a pet." "He's not a monster and you're being mean. You hurt others, especially Janet. She was mad at you, you hurt her hand and…""How did you know that?" His eyes widened and then reality played."It's probably because You're a goddess so you could see the past or something like that." He crossed his arm before sitting down on the ground."Where are your clothes?" Xena observed his body before asking. She could help but gape at the sight. This was the first time she had seen a man without clothing. "I went for a swim, I didn't know I'll find you here." Levi proved stubborn and he didn't even bother to gaze at Xena."How's Janet, is she home?" She asked even though she noticed his face darkened when she mentioned her name."She left!" He said in a straightforward manner."I'
