"Where is The Princess?." The king asked.
"I think she's still in the Bathroom, i will go check Father." Lyra walked out of the Dinning room.
Reina was washing her face with water when Lyra came in.
"Princess Reina, we were looking for you." She grinned.
"I..I was about coming I just.."
"I understand (chuckles)." Lyra placed her arms across her chest.
"I have a bad headache so I would just go and rest." Reina walked out and hurriedly went to the room.
***********
"So how long would you stay here?." He asked.
"That I don't know Your Highness, but I'll make arrangements to leave soon." He looked around but Lyra hasn't returned yet.
"That's okay, once again you're welcome to Agrah." The King smiled.
"I should go rest now, Thank You once again Your Majesty." He slightly bowed and left.
"So he is married now?." The Prince frowned.
"You don't expect him not to." The Princess replied.
"After rejecting Lyra he still had guts to come here?." The Prince was fuming.
"Marriage is never a must Akai, if the love is absent the marriage won't last. Remember I've known His Father even before you were born, we've grown to love each other so Lorcan is like a son to me." The Old king said.
"I was looking for you." He walked in to see Her seated on the bed, she didn't even turn to look at him.
"Reina?." He placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't touch me!." She shrugged.
"Why is that?." He asked not knowing what she was angry about.
"You're asking why??." She stood up now facing him.
"Are you angry with me?."
"Why wouldn't I be?." She yelled.
"Lower your voice Reina, you wouldn't want them to know we are having a misunderstanding please." He said calmly.
"Fine." She looked away.
"Now what's my offense this time?."
"Why did you let her embarrass me??, not just that, why did you shower her with praises in my presence?." Her eyes were filled with angry tears.
"She didn't embarrass you Reina, she only told you to wash the stain off. That isn't a bad thing." He remained calm.
"Why didn't you notice that before we left to see them? Or you just loved seeing me embarrassed Lorcan, you just wanted me to know no matter what I do I can never be as beautiful as she is." Tears rolled down her cheek.
"That's never true Reina."
"Well that's true!, I saw the way you looked at her, this is why I didn't want to come here at first."
"I only told her she was beautiful and that's now a crime?." He asked.
"I wouldn't be surprise if you start having feelings for her." She turned around not wanting to look at him.
"Why would you say such a thing Reina?, I've always praised you and now you're angry I did same to Lyra?."
"Yes cause she wants to take you away from me."
"You'll be my only wife Reina and that's a promise." He assured.
"Just leave me alone and go be with her." She laid down on the bed and covered her face with the sheets.
"I will leave you, but I won't talk to you." He said and left the room to God knows where.
She felt she was too hard on him and wouldn't have said all those things to him. She should trust him as her husband but the fear of having him look at another woman drove her mad.
She didn't know how to control her feeling, she was so jealous and that was her weakness.
After a while she left the room to look for Lorcan. She was directed to the field where she saw them on a horse, it looked like Lorcan was teaching her how to ride a horse.
She was a Warrior so she should know how to ride a horse. That's the first thing every warrior should know, so why was Lorcan helping her?.
They were so closed and what made her more angry was that Lorcan placed both his hand on her waist, as if that was not enough she was smiling enjoying someone else's husband.
Reina walked to them, "I thought you're good in riding a horse on your own." She faked a smile.
"Oh, I sprained my ankle so Lolly here was just helping." She smiled at him.
"Oh, I see." That was all Reina could say.
Lorcan didn't even acknowledge her presence, of course he said he wasn't going to talk to her but it surprised her that he was serious about it. Even he was angry with her he would always talk to her so what was happening now?.
"Can you help me down? I want to sit on the swing right there if you don't mind."
Reina knew that she did all these to make her jealous, how dare she do that in front of her?? She so disliked this Lyra of a Princess.
Lorcan took Lyra off the horse and carried her in his arms then he carefully kept her to sit on the swing.
It was evening now, Reina left them and left to her room, she didn't want to see more drama if he wanted to be with her then it was fine by her, he should do what he wants besides she knew he wouldn't be hers forever and he was slowly breaking the promise he made to her.
Lorcan came into the room to see her lying down and looking at the wall, she didn't even turn to see who walked in.
"I'm back, hope I'm not late." He said. She was happy he spoke to her but yes he was late, so late,
"guess he's had enough fun with Lyra tonight." She said to herself.
"I carried her cause she hurt her foot, hope that's okay with you?." He asked.
"It's fine goodnight." She clearly wasn't going to talk to him after what he did today.
