Chapter 21 - CHAPTER 20 : Are we relatives?

 Lily sat down exhausted on the chair. She could not understand it, she shooted well the last time . Today, she even found it hard to place the arrows on the bow. 

 " Here, have it " someone gave her a bottle water, she looked up, it was Princess Karina 

 " Thank you " Lily said while Karina just smiled and sat down 

 " I hope you're getting used to the system here "

 " Yes, I'm faring fine " Lily lied 

 " You know you can always tell me anything, are you angry because of lady Zia or is it Princess Elma ?"

 " Both "

 " Ignore whatever Elma does, she's angry because her husband gives her a tough time, he forces her to be the best, puts her under pressure and rumour has it that once or twice, she has been hit by Prince Royce " Karina said and Lily's mouth flew agape 

 " I may not like princess Elma but I don't fancy how her husband treats her, she's also a person with emotions, she does not deserve to be treated less " lily was paranoid. Women were supposed to be respected, why would he hit her? 

 " We know women do not have a say here, if a man offends you, you take it to heart as a woman but if you offend him you would be punished. It's so biased " Karina scrunched her face 

 " That's the exact same thing my mother said to me " Lily said surprised " It's just annoying that at times I feel inferior, my father never really cared about my mother's emotions , all he cared about was his pleasure " 

 " You know.. " Karina said and turned to face Lily "..... I feel we have a special connection, we reason the same way " and they both laughed . Suddenly, someone ran past Lily and hugged Karina from the back 

 " Mother" Doric smiled and tightly locked her arms around Karina's . Lily could not hide her laughter , Karina looked like she was tired 

 " I have a very troublesome daughter, Lily " Karina smiled 

 " I can see it " Lily laughed 

 " I'm not troublesome . Continue what you were saying Lily " Doric pouted , she was speaking in a baby's voice and it made her look cute 

 " You know, the reason why my mother made such statements was because they were sent to a special school in her kingdom where they were taught to manage their homes . It's crazy " Lily said talking about her mother, she really missed her. She missed that strong woman that acted like nothing was wrong 

 " Mother " Doric brows furrowed " You also mentioned that your mother was sent to a special school "

 " What's the name of your mother's kingdom, Lily? " Karina asked, she expected to hear something and so she listened with keen interest

 " My mother's from Agarup kingdom " Lily smiled and princess Karina's eyes widened 

 " Are you certain? " Karina asked with a huge grin on her face and when lily nodded Karina hugged her tightly " I can't believe we met here, we're practically cousins, my mother is also from Agarup, she talked a lot about her younger sister, I can't believe that I've finally met the daughter of her sister. " 

******** *****

 Lily was already in her petticoat, she was under the covers and she was still smiling. She heard the door open, Rian was coming in. She got up almost immediately and as a result, parts of her cleavage were left bare. 

 " Not a good thing to tempt your husband with that sight, Lily " Rian tsked, he was fighting hard to not touch her at night but here she was , she was not being co-operative. Lily looked down at her chest region and saw that her petticoat had gone down. She awkwardly pushed it back up only to find Rian dangerously close to her . How did he get to her so soon? Oh, he must have teleported . The whole thing was crazy, she was still getting used to this thing called magic. 

 " Do you know how hard it is for me to control myself around you? " he confessed 

 " No " she shook her head 

 " It's best you don't know " he said and made his way towards the bath. The bathroom was wide and incredibly spacious . Rian removed his coat and dipped himself into the water. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard Lily speak .

 " Did you know that Princess Karina is actually my cousin?, her mother and mine were sisters, crazy thing we met here " Lily was shouting and it was too loud for Rian's ears . He could hear her just fine and he wished she would stop screaming . The next thing Rian heard made him widen his eyes in doubt. Lily strutted into the bath, her eyes darting round in search for him. He had made himself invincible so he only could see her . Without warning, he teleported to where she was and pulled her into the bath.
