It really feels like home... nothing was missing even if it really was missing we all have to move on.
I took my time to dress myself up in a beautiful attire my father got for me this morning... looking good at the mirror I dashed outside... putting my entire emotions in place.
Right at your enemies' camp you can't be too complacent....you have to concealed more and revel less. I put on my usual straight face with zero tolerance for nonsense.. and my outfit seem to match out with my outstanding feature and emotions
At the dinning table....the two siblings were sitted already...their eyes glued to mine but I looked away heading towards my sit...
"Sister... you look dazzling today... I have heard of your beauty it's really impeccable and it's an honor seeing it for the second time " this man is really good with words...what a cunning pervert...
"Thanks Cyprus... you don't look bad yourself..." I complemented back with no smile... it's really revolting for him to try to get to my good side or get me out of the way
"Hummm" the other brat giggled so loudly
"Manners....!" Cyrus correct her while giving her a deadly glance. Trying to be a noble is very hard...from the two lines rules to the fifty line rule... it's not easy but it came naturally for me since I value peace and quiet
"Sister... I heard that the king of anthill is in a condition of sanity disrupter...he is out of balance " gossip hounds never seem to stop does it?
" How is that my problem?" Am sure he hasn't finished learning all the noble rules for him to understand the essence of keeping your mouth shut in front of an elder
"It's your home land...is it not?" He wasn't going off and this time I have to shut him up
"I never knew you were interested in anthills business or mine. But do me a favor...shut up and eat...am not an anthill citizen." All this yapping makes me hungry... I began to eat forgetting the major dinning rule;
' Never eat till the king arrives'
I was quite busy devouring the steak when father came in.... I felt guilty for disobeying the rules
"Father am sorry... I eat when I get pissed " it was obvious that I was reporting to him.. Cyprus looked at me with anger in his eyes but it faded away soon as he waits for the final say from father
"It's okay... I shouldn't have kept you waiting. Don't get too pissed later on... some people are not worth your slight emotions " he pat my hair and filled my palates with different dishes...
Cyprus felt like the ground should open up and clear this two people out of his sight... but his wish is never granted
I continue to eat... hoping to do something fun today im my very own land
"I have sent for the best life painting instructor in Sky high to come train you again... I should but I have tons of court affairs ti attend to. Please permit me my dear...?" He sounded like a suitor trying to please his woman
"No worries father...how about I help you with court affairs..to ease your burden?" I find the court an interesting place for motivation and thinking
"Really...?"
"Yes... I have served in the court many times back in anthill... I used to hate it but I think I love to do it for my own father... don't you think?"
"Sure.... Cyprus...learn from your sister. She has gone through alot and seen alot so learn some tip form her." He openly advice him and he only smiled at me nodding his head in approval... but my face show no emotions.
********
Off to the Court we go...it was huge and this is also my first time coming here.
I looked at violet's face and it was completely blank.... isn't she amazed by the art work here...?
"Sister...how is it to your liking?"
" It's nice and well constructed...the designs are indeed impeccable and the best I have seen so far." She replied so shortly and father nod in approval
"How many court house have you visited?" She said ' so far ' does that mean she had seen other places
"I have seen that of the south east, Maritsa, Northern leevi.. and the northern West Park and anthill and of course Sky high"
Those are the list of major cities the realm has to offer... those ones are amazing but there is only one left... the Sudan archives
"What about the Sudan archives?"
"I have heard of it but I haven't been there before" Her voice was so cold and freezing...yet truthful and honest
"Okay" I decided to end our conversation as we approach the court.
The entire member of the court seem to be pleased with her presence...her history of being a wonderful spokesperson was highly appreciated in the meeting...she earned it alright!!
Development issues were discussed and I couldn't help but feel clueless while she raised impressive suggestions which the whole court finds appealing and suitable. If this goes on like this she might take my place.
The meeting was over and the nobles suggest we all go for a hunt together... because they want to see her archery skills...am I a waste? I hoped to be the center of attention and attraction because the male of Sky high has arrived but no one saw that.
She indeed has an impressive archery skills.. and good eyesight. She took down ten animals on her own.. it's really unmatched..
I decided to hit up a conversation with her to see how it all goes...
"Sister... you have indeed heard of the Sudan archives...but have you heard that the king is a possessed man... he has duel personality."
Her eyes sparked up...she looks more than interested....she looks curious and eager
"Tell me more "
"The man is unknown and unseen but it's rumored that he is pure evil with red glowing eyes. He is crul when punishing but his people prosper greatly under his reign and no outsider dares to enter without permission... Moreso he loves women "
"You seem to know a lot about him...is he your idol?" She smiled at me and she was indeed very beautiful
"No.... he's a cruel man... though powerful. My father is my idol " I replied
"Oh... really... Don't feel threatened under me...am not here to take anyone's place... I just want to be around my father and make up for lost time. You are still the prince and the throne is yours for the taking...
If you be good... I'll support you all the way like a sister should. I only have one problem..."
"What is it?" I was suprised to hear her say that she doesn't want the throne....
"Trust... and betrayal. I don't trust you but you can betray me and hurt me. If you do I'll give you a fate more worse than death. Do ask Zuma of anthill and those who hurt me how it feels like to be slowly tortured by me."
She rode her horse far off... I followed suit thinking about what she said. She's really not bad than a surmise... let's all see how it goes but one thing is for sure.....she isn't bluffing about torture!!
