Chapter 7 - Jack's death

Zulia POV

I just couldn't stand it anymore as I left the dining room straight to my own room, with Artemis waiting for me

"I love you"I hugged him

"I'm glad I met you in the forest that night" I said as he stares at me

"Have you eaten" I asked

He wags his tail

"Ohh that's a good boy, you're my good boy"

"Should we go to Flina's room or do you think it would be better to give her some space?"

I laid on my bed trying to fall asleep

"Seems I can't go to sleep,"

Artemis is anyway sound asleep on his fluffy little bed,  I left my room to see Flina

I heard footsteps, which were getting louder as I walked

Ohh it's Zamora,seems she just left Flina's room,Ignoring her as I passed.

Getting to Flina's room,i overheard her crying

I knocked on her door

"Go away" She yells

"Do you really want me to go away" She opens up

"I didn't know it was you"she hugs me crying

"Cry till you feel better" I pet her back

"I don't want to get married, I don't want things to be this way"she hugs tightly

She gives a slight yawn as she finally stops crying

"I want to sleep now" she final lets me go

"Okay goodnight,see you tomorrow morning"

"I won't be eating with you guys tomorrow" she locks the door

I sighed as I walk back to my roo to sleep

At the dining hall

Father,Mother and Zamora are seated

"Good morning Your Highness" I bowed

"Slept well?" He says as he stuff he face with a chunk of meat

"Yes I did" I sat down and began to eat

"Flina won't be coming to eat" Zamora says

Father sighed heavily

"She'll be turning 18 tomorrow so I wanted to share the family heirlooms today" Father said as he signaled one of the guards who brought a small sack

Daddy took out each item and placed them on the table

"This is the book of Neodessa,it's meant to be given to the first born male but it will be given to you Zamora" He hands her th book

She opens it

"Your Highness,the scribbles written on it,I can't read it"

"Very soon you will"He smiles

"This necklace has a twin,"he stares at it as he finally gave it to me

"Your Highness you said the necklace has a twin,where is the other half" I asked

"In a safe place" he says

"This Tiara belongs to Flina,please give it to her after breakfast"

"Yes Father"

"And finally the crown of Neodessa" he held high and gives of a loud laugh

"Father if that's the crown of  Neodessa in your hands, what's the crown on your head?" Zamora asked

"A fake"

I tilt my head in confusion

"Why do you have a fake?"

"Because its need to revive —"

Jack runs in

"Zulia there's trouble " he shouts

"How dare you intrude the royal breakfast?"

"My apologies your Highness but—"

An arrow pierced his head before he could talk..

I stared at the passage,

"Who dares attack the royal family"Father yells

A lady in a dark purple dress strides in smiling

I looked at my father who was in shock

"Hello brother" she smiles at Father
