The inferno of love did burn two people: Who were greatly in love.
Going down the memory lane, Avery fled to her home having witnessed the pain in Jakes eyes.She just couldn't stand it!
The one-sided fist fight that made Kevin faint was unspoken ;Later, Jake poured apologies after apologies to his cousin-friend.
Kevin good-naturedly waved all off, obviously, his heart was similar to his beautiful face!
They laughed merrily, chatted, and raced on the roads.
Jake promised him some meal as a payback and now they were in the Gemizzel's first Star Hotel.
A waiter approached them therefore making inquiry of what they wanted to eat.
"Man ,Iam not in love or any close relationship with Avery!" said Kevin smiling broadly.
Jake stiffened alittle before losening .Atleast now he felt good.
Very soon, there orders arrived,jollof rice , meat and spaghetti!
That was the favourite food of Kevin ,dug in heartily.
sooner, a beautiful damsel walked in through the eatery's entrance and sparked his interest.
This particular girl was magnificent like the moon on its wake!
And why did it feel like she was familiar?
The air at his back rose, his body readily reacting.
This only meant that it was one person, Myra.
And truely, whe she turned; it was really her!
What was she doing there? With a man holding her hands?The man was a tud handsome too!
He was going to lose it, his rationality reach finis. Very soon everything would be in ruin.
"Bro, I lost my appetite." said he using the saviet.
"What ? that quick?Why can't you..."
Before Jake could finish talking, he was already on his way out.
A certain lady stood, her eyes staring at the entrance.
She looked afraid and gloomy.Could this be the legend Myra?
He followed his cousin outside in a rush.Their lunch plans were thrown just like that.
He did not see him at all!So he had driven the car leaving him to trek?
🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡
Myra stood in the same place she had been in for hours.
Her face deathly pale and full of aching heartbreak, why had things suddenly turn like this?
Now the situation was overwhelmingly bad to the extent that this man had mistook his brother for another man?
And what was he doing in the International Five- Star Hotel of Gemizzel Kingdom?
Sometimes she longed for him to tell her where he was going.
But he always didn't,he was always unbothered.
What could she do to correct the misunderstanding?
"Bro, don't order anything?I 've lost my appetite." said she.
"It is your birthday! You can't let me draw you from another kingdom to this then you tell me you don't want anything,can you?" said Allen sadly.
Allen observed her sister for many reasons: She ate alittle before zooning off.Her eyes sparkled with unshed tears!
She was pale that he now felt terrified, she'd catch a fever.
"Myra, I know the man Kevin was with, he is the Empiror consort of Gemizzel.Prince Jake Xperia Ericsson.They are related to each other, though I no not the relationship.Will take you there." Said he .
Myra who was not listening, nodded absentmindedly.When her brother stood up ,she followed him as though in a trance.
In the car ,she dozed off having been exhausted by the grievance of love.
One hour later , she woke up to find herself near the
Light green beautiful gates of Gemizzel Empire.
"Bro, how did we get here?" asked Myra stunned.
" I Methinks I told you, something about the Empiror consort,prince Jake being related to Kev?I brought you here so you could talk." explained Allen.
Tap! tap !tap!
One of the castle guards hit the car to get their attention.
"Do you have an appointment with the Empiror?" asked he.
"Nope, we urgently need to talk to Prince Jake and Kevin." said Allen.
"You can't get in ...." said he
"Asbens who are they ? "asked a feminine voice.
"Empress I don't know them,they are here to see Prince Jake and Kevin.But they have no appointment." said he.
Moving closer to the car,"Lady and gentleman....Oh, bring that Lady out." said she alarmed.
Myra was so faint and out of breath, obviously; She was feeling tired and sickly.
"Asbens, bid two ladies take her to the guest room." said she," May I know you young man?"
"I'm Allen, Myra's brother, my lady" said he softly.
Seeing many questions in the eyes of the empress. he greeted her before continuing.
"Serene Highness Empress Orphelia Gemini, I'm here for the purpose of bringing my sister to have audience with Prince Kevin." Said Allen bowing.
"Prince Kevin, are you from Agny Kingdom?" asked she stunned.
"What's the relationship between her and Kevin?" said he.
"They are relationship ma'am ." said he respectfully.
"Follow me."
Three Days Later,
Myra was not a wake yet since she was taken to the castle of Gemizzel.
Empress Orphelia was so angry with Kevin, seeing the helplessness in the face of the girl.
She engaged Kev in a fist fight and later sent him to the Dangeon.
He had been there for two days and nights.And now that Empress Orphelia was passing by, he said,
"Aunty please I won't repeat anything wrong.Please get me out of here." said he.
"Good for you, because if I realize this kind of madness,even if you are the king, I will dethrone you." said she stone- faced.
"Thanks." said he.
He really made a run for it thinking the empress would change her mind.
Empress Orphelia Gemini just stood there hiding her beautiful smile.
Her and Tyler were the force behind the beauty and development of the land.
For something to prosper, one had to be disciplined and zealous.
She was a strong mother, Lover and Empress.
Woe upon those who trespassed those whom Orphelia Gemini loved!
Gemizzel war would be uncovered.
The Queen went on her way to guest room to see Myra.She'd just received news that Myra had woken up.
That beautiful soul had touched her heart in a way that she could not describe.
This was a girl who was shrouded in mystery and pain; she needed protection.And she would be her protector.
Opening the door slowly , Orphelia entered Myra's room not seeing her.
She had premonition that went to the bathroom.And she was right.
And therefore waited in silence.
"Whoaaa!" wondered Myra,"I greet thee Queen- Empress of Gemizzel Kingdom.May you live to perfect old age." said she bowing.
"Arise my child." said she,"I really need to know more about thee."
" Ok." said she.
"Who is Kevin to you ." said she sweetly.
With that Myra blushed her eyes shining with passionate loved but the light in her eyes suddenly went dim.
"I seem not to know him ." said she her eyes glittering with tears.
"Let's take this step by step ."Said Orphelia nonchalantly.
************. *** *** ***** *******
For many days, Avery Dennison hadn't gone to the palace .
She'd missed her crush but couldn't do a thing!
Now she was going to school; with the intention to just see him just quickly, she a prayer of luck.
Apparently,her prayers were answered.She met Jake waiting for her near her gate.
When he saw her, he didn't talk but motioned her to give him her backpack.
What is this man insinuating? Thought Avery.
Still she gave him the backpack to see what he would do .
Avery Dennison saw him carry is backpack along side his, and tried hard not to laugh.
Why these all trouble?
At lunch, he served two plates of noodles and jollof rice .Jake gave her one and took one.
Avery stared at him concerdly because that was unlike him.
"Thanks ." said Avery and ate slowly.
Later under the tree, she asked him ,"What with the change of attitude?"
"Nothing." Answered he with akward laugh.
Without another word, he sat next to her .Both busied themselves with their reading.
Constantly, Avery would steal glances at him, and she could not help touching his forehead and ask,
"Feeling sick?"
"God !Avvy." Complained he.
With that he frustratedly walked out of the place.
Avvy? Did she hear right?
There seemed to be something odd about Jake, she would soon find out.
