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
Zina woke up tired, her eyes were swollen and she was still wearing the gown she wore for dinner last night."Good morning Princess," Ann said, causing Zina to gaze in her direction."I'm not here to ask questions or ask your permission, princess, but as long as you remain crowned princess, your parents put me in charge of you and I can't let you keep making terrible mistakes. Only the night creatures know what that peasant boy did to you. From now on, he is not going to step foot in this palace. I'll advise you not to argue with me, I think it's about time I take charge."Zina was quiet all through, she knew she acted childish yesterday but how was she going to tell Ann that she loved Levi and that the reason she was crying last night was because he proposed and due to some circumstances, she was unable to accept. Ann slowly made her way to the door as she thought of more things to do. She paused, turned around and informed Zina to meet her in the meeting room in an hour. Zina nodde
"Well, I found out why the princess was so sad last night but…""Spill it out! I haven't got all day. I will give you the reward you deserve, just say it." Anika's ears stood when she heard THE REWARD. That was all she wanted to hear. Coordinating herself, she started telling the whole story to Ann."Princess Zina went for dinner with the gardener and then he proposed to her and…""He proposed? He really did cross the line this time! Zina you're in big trouble." Ann said as she moved Swiftly to Zina's room. She was so angry, she didn't listen to the extra details of Anika's findings."Oh dear, lady Ann is so angry, I hope I don't lose my job after this," Anika concluded before heading to the maid's quarters.on her cheek to express her anger."Lady Ann what have I done! Why did you hit me this way, what offense have I committed. You have no right, no right to hit me. I let you decide my plans and my life but not anymore. I'm taking back what belongs to me.""So you can spoil your dad
"Propose? Don't you think you're going too far, you said you just need to find out some things from Zina and now you're talking about marriage?" Marcus uttered in shock."Yes Marcus, I have a new plan. She wasn't willing to give me the info when we were just friends so I want there to be a stronger bond between us."Marcus gazed at Xavier in a suspecting manner, he studied his face for a while as he spoke,"Are you sure you aren't falling for this girl? You're taking things too far, I mean that's just too much.""Nothing is too much Marcus, my plan will proceed. We'll put plan A and plan B into action so if one fails, the other one will cover up. Go to the best ring maker, tell him I want an adjustable diamond ring, you know my taste, if he fails to reach that standard I will behead him.""Yes Xavier I will see to it immediately, when do you need it," Marcus asked Xavier who gave him the necessary information he needed. He excused himself from Xavier's presence as he went on the erran
"I was like a slave to him, he only needed me to satisfy his desires. I didn't have any choice, I was forced to love and have children for that Duke." Ann explained sadly"Nanny, Levi isn't like that Duke. I don't even know what I want anymore," Zina sobs in the process of speaking."I like Levi but I can't accept him. I have better plans for myself and the kingdom. You can take your leave now, we've discussed enough." Zina pointed the way out to Ann."I came here to make peace and you're sending me away?""You started the war in the first place nanny, I was an obedient girl to your every command yet you don't trust me." Zina said, still showing Ann the way out of the room."I know you want me gone,I will go but please I just want you to do what's always right, I'm only here to guide your steps." Ann concluded with narrowed eyes as she left Zina's room."I hate you! You've made my life a cage of misery, I feel like I'm in hell and I'm burning like there's no hope for me,I hate you." Z
"I can't take this any more mother, am I hallucinating or is it just reality. These dreams and visions are way too much, is there something you aren't telling me?""Not at all my daughter, believe me I'm not hiding anything from you, trust me." Her mother tried to calm her down but she refused."Who is my real mother?" Abigail asked firmly, leaving no room for objections. Hearing the question, her supposed mother knew she could no longer deny the fact that she knew what Abigail was talking about."Sit down dear, there's a lot you need to know," she said in a sorrowful tone. "Before I say anything, please understand that your mother and I did this to protect you from your father. He was a warlock and…""I can't believe you kept this from me mom, I spent twenty years of my life with you and this is what I get? Lies and more lies, do you even care about me?""Yes I do Abigail, I really do. Your mother and I care about you so much." "Whose Nelly," Abigail asked almost in tear,"Nelly is
"Why is his aura so familiar?" Delilah pondered as she stared at the sleeping masked man. She towered over him in an attempt to remove his mask so she could have a better view of his face."Don't you dare," the masked man interrupted while holding her hands in place to prevent her from touching his mask. She struggled with him but ended up on top of him, her long hair spread across his mask which prevented him from seeing her clearly. He turned over, his blue eyes staring at beautiful ones as he placed a kiss on her neck, causing her to go wild."Who are you?" She said in a shaky voice, her hand pulled him closer to enable her capture his lips in a kiss,"You remind me of my husband, my first husband." She stammered under his touch, fighting back what she was feeling. The moment those words left her lips, the realization came to her."Herald!" Her eyes widened as everything she felt came to an end. She tried to escape from his grip but she couldn't."No, no it can't be, you're dead!"
