seriously Quentin I can believe you almost implicated me today" Cyma said as they stood in the balcony
" I didn't mean to, it just happened" he said
" and even after knowing you couldn't tell the truth direct, you had to go through corners" she said
" I was scared that I'll implicate myself also" he said
" you selfish human, you only care about yourself" she said
" no, I care about you too but I care about me more" he said
" you.." she said chasing him around the balcony but crown prince Quil came. He watched them for some time before clearing his throat
" Quil, you're here" Quentin said
" how long have you been standing there?" Cyma asked
" about a minute ago " he said
" well, I'll leave. I have important things to do" Quentin said
" like " Cyma asked
" it's mine business not yours " he said
" I get it, you want to go around chasing girls again. have some shame at least " she said
" you really think so low of me, I was going out so as to find the beautiful dancer. you know how Quiana is, she wouldn't rest till she proves her point. so if I can find out the beautiful dancer identity, you won't be accused again " he said
" stop making it look like it's about me, I know you're only looking for the beautiful dancer to see if she's fine so as to marry her" she said
" think about anyhow you want, I'm only doing this for you " he said leaving
" thank you for standing up for me today" she said
" I didn't do much, I couldn't support you enough " Quil said
" oh, you did more than enough as far as you did more than my useless Quentin" she said
" you know Quentin always wants the best for you " he said
" oh really, that explains why he tried to implicate me" she said sarcastically
" we both know he didn't implicate you, I mean you're not really meant to get mad at him because he was the one who actually saved you today. and if not for his careless act, we won't know Quiana knows about you and she trying to find evidence " he said
" true, thank goodness I got rid of the remaining prove " she said
Then an imperial guard came to the balcony to summon the crown prince to the hall and they left
" it must be something important, oh well" she said leaving as well.
She went to the Queen mother's quarters but they stopped her from entering.
" you can't just enter the Queen mother's quarters anyhow " one of the guards said
" excuse me, I'm not entering Queen mother's quarters but my grandma's quarters. move!" she said entering
" you're still as stubborn as you always her" Queen mother said as Cyma sat on her bed
" that's a good thing, if I'm not stubborn then they'll bully me " she said and the Queen mother smiled
" Grandma, do you know what's going on in the royal hall" she asked
" what happened?" Queen mother asked
" the way His Majesty dismissed us after the imperial guard brought a news for him and the crown prince was also summoned to the royal hall" she said eating her favorite snacks
" you're often found of Quil, even today he supported. could it be that you both have a soft spot for each other " Queen mother said
" grandma, don't try to change the change the topic, besides you already know who I love with all my whole heart " she said hugging the pillow
" yeah, I know. But does Zion loves you back" Queen mother asked
" how will I know, he just takes everything funny. he even went far as taking my emotions as play" she said throwing the pillow away as her smile dropped
" you can't blame him, he doesn't even know how much you like him. besides if he likes you back he might not want you to know either because he's not sure of your feelings for him and he doesn't want to spoil your friendship " Queen mother said
" I know you're only saying this to make me feel happy, but it doesn't matter. even if he doesn't like me, we'll still be childhood sweethearts. and I'll look for a good girl for him" she said
" alright then, when the time comes. and I'll also look for the best guy for you " Queen mother said cupping Cyma's cheeks
' The great and only gracious Queen is entering the room" the guards announced as gracious Queen came in
" I can see you're having a reunion without me" gracious Queen said and they laughed
" mother, we were only discussing" Cyma said
" yeah, we were talking about her love life and how we'll get her married to the best man on earth" Queen mother said
" alright then, Cyma me and your grandma have something to discuss" gracious Queen said
" I understand, I'll leave. but don't have snacks without me" cyma said leaving the room
" what's so important?" queen mother asked
" he is here, he has returned" gracious Queen said
" who?" Queen mother asked
" Dorian" gracious Queen said
" the child given to us my the sea Goddess some year ago. " queen mother said
" yeah he's a gift to us, and he left when he was still young to explore round the world " gracious Queen said
" yeah, he's a blessing. no wonder His Majesty dismissed us and summoned the crown prince " Queen mother said
" yes, the news if his arrival will get everywhere by the end of today " gracious Queen said
" that's good news " Queen mother said
" yes, and I heard he's an eligible bachelor and he's also handsome and skillful as well " gracious Queen said
" I see where you're going with these" Queen mother said
Cyma was strolling back to her room with Alpena to get changed and go to the city for a while.
" what's going on today?, everyone is acting strange " Cyma said
" it might be because of the news " Alpena said
" which news, is it that of the beautiful dancer " she said
" no, it's about the arrival of Young Lord Dorian " Alpena said
" Dorian?" she asked confused
" OMG, I left the milk uncovered. I'll be back" Alpena said rushing out
" who is this Dorian and hew does he have so much power to make everyone run helter skelter just because of his arrival " she thought as she walked along the bridge.
Then she stopped and threw some pebbles in the water, and she turned she bumped into a meat wall and he wrapped his waist around her waist to hold her in place and stop her from tripping but Cyma reflexes came into action. she stepped on his toe and gave him a punch in the stomach and he lost balance and both of them fell into the water
" OMG" Alpena exclaimed as everyone came to see what was happening
