"Marcus, whatever reason you have for interrupting my breakfast the way you did better be important if it's not, I could try giving you to Edan for lunch, you know how hungry he gets every once in a while."Marcus nodded anxiously, his hands shook terribly as he handed Xavier the envelope in his hands;"It's from the first realm, it even carries Princess Zina's personal seal. In my opinion, I think…"Before he could conclude his statement, Xavier ripped open the envelope without any hesitation as he read the letter aloud."Your Majesty, king of the second realm, I Zina, crowned princess of the first realm, received your letter, went through it, and approved of our meeting arrangement. The meeting shall be held at the first realm's palace by noon. I hope to see you soon, dear king, her royalness princess Zina."Xavier's countenance changed the moment he finished reading the letter. He stared at Marcus, giving him a positive reaction. Marcus, who was proud of himself, lifted high his s
zina bowed to Xavier who took her hand, placing a soft kiss on it. She smiled back as she welcomed him into her palace."So…finally, I get to meet the well known crown Princess of this great realm. It's a pleasure to finally meet you," Xavier spoke in a manly tone,"The pleasure is mine," Zina responded back She followed Ann's instructions, leading him into a private chamber which was already prepared for the meeting."You arrived quite early, it seems his majesty does well to keep to time." It was Zina commending Xavier's ability to keep to time."Who can keep a pretty lady like you waiting? Surely that man must be a fool," Xavier replied to her, this time in a less formal tone.Zina's eyes scanned Xavier from head to toe. She couldn't help but notice his beautiful features. His silver hair which was braided into a ponytail, his light skin and his fiery yellow eyes."You know it's a bad habit to stare at your visitors that way right? I mean I know I'm handsome but you're making it
"Mother, Xavier has requested for my presence at the palace tomorrow evening. I hope to get your permission so I can answer his call." Her puppy eyes and cute voice while pleading made her mother roll her eyes."Abigail, you know I never liked that young man. He seems cunny and untrustworthy of your love. I don't want you getting sad over anything and certainly not him.""Nothing is going to happen mother, trust me. Besides, he's very fond of me and there's no other girl in his heart, I'm his betrothed, remember," her tone was questioning and her hands waved in the air to show her mom the diamond ring on her finger.""Don't let that get to your head Abigail, men change. They first start acting strange then all of a sudden they become harsh, then they leave! Like they always do!" Her mother's pitch increased."Mother! You can't just say it that way. I know your experience with dad was very harsh but still, I love Xavier and he loves me too." Abigail burst into tears uncontrollably. Sh
It rained heavily outside, Janet couldn't stop peeking through the window. She pondered on Levi's emotional health, knowing fully well how depressing it was to lose what made you feel special. Janet hoped Levi would think about himself and not take it too personal. She took her raincoat, about to go search for him when Nathan drew her back,"You can't go out in the rain Janet, you might catch a cold. Besides, Levi is a man now, he can take care of himself."Nathan tried to make her understand.Almost immediately, Levi walked in looking drenched from the rain. His cloth was dripping water all over the polished wooden floor. He proceeded to change into new clothes When Janet, who was listening to Nathan, moved to Levi's side. She held on tightly to his drenched vest, shaking him vigorously in order to talk some sense into him."Don't do that next time, you got me worried. Don't you know some people care? I Don't want you to ever think you aren't special because with or without your gift
"Good Morning princess,how was your meeting king Xavier?" Ann asked the very moment she got into Zina's chamber."Nanny, it's just the break of dawn, besides Nelly is supposed to get me ready. Remember, I relieved you of your duties so you could pay attention to other activities in the palace.""But I miss taking care of you. Besides, I relieved Nelly of her duties just for today. I know I'm old and you need someone who can lighten your mood, but at least I have the right to care for you right?""Yes nanny, you have many rights over me but Nelly is my personal maid now. Send for her immediately, or would you rather take my silence on the question you asked earlier?"Ann's bright face turned gloomy. She didn't expect the princess to talk to her this way,"I will ask the guards to send for her, just a moment I'll be back and you'll tell me about what I asked okay?"Zina sighed in response to Ann's words,"This old lady is so nosy can't she just…""I'm back" Ann said, interrupting her th
Xena placed her hand on her chin, gazing at an empty yard. She sat down on a log not too far away from her house thinking about her recent dreams as the cold winds pushed her hair out of place."That hair is quite long for a warrior, don't you think?" General lynx interrupted her thinking.She held on to some strands of her hair to measure the length. To her surprise, it was more than her waist length."Oh wow, my hair has always been in ponytails. I didn't realize how long they had become. I love my long hair general-dad, I do not want to make it short please…"General lynx agreed to her request. He didn't want to impose anything on her, not again. "Why do you look so sad, is it about your hair? You don't have to cut it, honestly speaking it suits you.""No general-dad, it's not about my hair. You know my pet? The one I told you helped me find you, I haven't seen him and I'm getting worried.""The wolf? Hahaha, you're joking right?" Seeing how serious she was he cleared his throat,
"Nanny, you never told me he was coming. He visited just two days ago and now he's coming back?" Zina kept ranting in shock."Don't you think he has any hidden agenda? I mean the king of the second realm wouldn't just wake up one morning and decide within his heart that he wants me for himself." "Do not be afraid my dear, I believe he has no hidden agenda. Marcus, his personal advisor, is always here for meetings which you make me attend with him due to the number of large scale works on your plate. I believe he must have told Xavier about you. Most importantly, the young king is very fond of you and that's a good thing. I can't wait for him to propose soon, it would be good for him and also for you but you get to enjoy more power and protection. Be free with him, get him to open up things to you okay?""Yes nanny," Zina replied with a grumpy face. She wasn't used to getting regular visits like this from men who weren't her counselors. She sat down on the chair facing her dressing m
"I understand you don't trust me. However, it's quite disappointing because I'm not the enemy, your sister is. Look I also have an uncle who was thrown in there, he was very evil and I know he is alive.""My family has an amulet we all wear containing gems. Each gem represents a family member. These two gems that look dim, represent my parents.""This one," he said as he pointed to one of the gem,"Represents my uncle. as you can see it's glowing meaning he is very much alive. I fear that one day he'll come back to take away my throne, he'll probably kill me and hang my body at the town's trading square.""Zina, do you know anyway we can stop them, who knows they might be working hand in hand, planning to overthrow us both.""I don't know how we can stop them, your Majesty, the thought of my sister wouldn't have crossed my mind if my personal maid wasn't all that emotional. She cried so much saying I remind her of her lost sister. I can't lie to you, I'm Scared. The fear is eating me
