" Milady I think you should rest a little "
The maid who had been with Gina since the incident at the field said with pity for her madam.
" I'm Fine Hannah" Gina replied smiling.
Since the incident Gina had been with Keran and barely left his side , the only time she do leave him was when she needed to have a bath. She even eats by his side.
Since Liam had checked on him and treated him, he had been unconscious and hadn't even open his eyes.
Which made Gina worried.
Her personal maid Hannah, had tried to talk to her on resting her head for awhile but Gina kept refusing each time and Hannah could do nothing but worry about Gina.
She could do nothing but watch Gina sit beside Keran who was asleep, her hands on his forehead as she rubbed it gently.
Gina's eyebag had gotten bigger and dark circles had began to form round her eyes due to lack of sleep, her hair tied in a messy bun.
Hannah couldn't understand why Gina was so kind to Keran, at first she had thought maybe Gina had been pretending so as to appear nice to everyone but later on she realised she wasn't pretending.
' Is Milady in love?'
" Milady I was thinking if..."
" I am fine Hannah, I want no more questions and suggestions from you okay " Gina interrupted furiously.
Hannah bowed a little.
" I'm sorry I----I "
.." Knock knock"
Hannah who was standing close to door walked over to open it.
A guard walked in and bowed as he got closer to Gina.
"My lady your father had sent for you, he said to see you immediately " The guard said
" Tell him that I will be on my way soon" Gina replied
The guard nodded then bowed before leaving.
Gina sighed as she wondered why her father would send for her.
' I hope you will be safe when I'm gone '
She thought looking at the wounded keran who was still unconscious, his chest rising and falling slowly.
She couldn't leave him here alone but still she had to see her father.
" Hannah do watch over him while I am gone" She said as she stood up turning to face Hannah.
" Yes Milady " Hannah replied.
Gina stood up adjusted her dress and then left the room heading towards the meeting hall where her father mostly spend his day..
*******
The large door was yanked open and some men rushed out all talking in pairs oblivious of Gina who was heading in the direction they were coming from.
' What are the council members doing here'
Gina thought as she walked past them, she had only seen the council members once before so she found it strange to have been seeing them now.
She walked Into the hall where the council members had just left and walked towards her father who was sitting at the end of the hall.
The meeting hall has a long table and chairs round the table, her father had his own seat at the very end of the table.
Gina's Father wasn't a king but a very prominent man as he had helped the town in building most structures, they had therefore intend to repay his kindness and had been treating him like a king.
His position in the town was a very high ranked one and so urgent matters are brought to him for decisions and they are being held in the meeting hall.
Nowadays he has been spending most of his time in the meeting hall and Gina couldn't figure why.
" Greetings Father" Gina greeted curtseying.
Her father who had been reading a letter looked up to see his daughter standing afront him
He had black curly hair which was messed up and large eye bags, his face looked pale.
Gina wasn't happy at the sight of her father, she knew the stress was taking a huge toll on him and wished she could help him with anything.
' I wonder what Hannah would have said if she had seen Father' she thought
" Father you sent for me" She continued
" Yes"
" I have been hearing rumours from the servants Gina....about uh..."
" that boy...."
" Keran" Gina cut in
" His name is Keran Father " She continued
" I don't know why you're doing this but I hope you know that the people are watching our every moves "
" Yes Father "
" Keran was falsely accused Father, the culprit has been caught and is facing his punishment but Keran was badly beaten by your most trusted guard" Gina continued
" I know my daughter but that doesn't mean you...."
" Father he almost died because of me and I can't leave him without being sure that he's okay "
" I don't want anyone harming him again "
" You shouldn't worry, the only person who can touch him is Brila and he's not here for now "
" When he is back I will him tell him not to have his eyes on....uh...."
" Keran"
" Okay Father"
" Thank you" She said curtseying.
He nodded.
" I miss you Gina"
" Recently I haven't even had enough time for myself so I haven't been able to see you for awhile"
" But I promise when all this is over, we'll have more than enough time together"
Gina could see a glint of tears at the corner of his eyes and knew he was sincere but something had made her bothered
' When all this is over....What does he mean? '
" Okay Father but do well to take care of yourself " She replied.
" Yes my daughter" he said smiling.
" Take care Father" She said then curtseyed and turned to leave.
She walked out of the hall oblivious of the fatherly eyes looking at her as she walked her with love in his heart.
