He dropped her carefully in the carriage, and sat opposite her.
" Brooke will come with your house, let's get you home" he said
" I'll just take the horse along now, let me give you space to talk" Brooke said getting down
" what do you want to talk about that you came rushing her" he asked
" if I complain about the schedule, he'll only see me as weak. He has already seen me as a weakling but I won't lose to him" she thought
" would you say something?" he asked
' I didn't come looking for you " she said
" then why were you there?" he asked
" I came to get something " she said
" what's the something?" he asked
" female stuffs, " she said
" they don't sell anything there apart from vegetables so it's obvious you're lying " he said
"why do I even have to account to you?" she said
" alright then, I can see you've seen the schedule " he said
" yes, and what about it?" she said trying to be strong
" here" he said as he placed her leg on his lap
" what are you doing?" she asked as she removed her leg but he placed it back on his lap
" just stay still" he said as he took off her shoes and carefully massage her ankle
" you'll feel better by tomorrow" he said
" where do you learn how to massage this well?, even Alpena isn't this good" she said
" it's just my nature, I didn't learn anything" he said
" Alpena needs to come and learn from you" she said enjoying the massage and be pressed harder
" ouch!, you did that purposely" she said
" it won't go if you don't feel pain" he said putting her shoes back on as they arrived at the palace.
she tried to get up but he stopped her, he carried her down bridal style and took her into the palace. All maids and servants started gossipping, cyma was not really concerned about thaf. They gossip about her all the time.
He entered the royal dinning, where everyone was having dinner. it was then Cyma felt like the ground should swallow her, she was in a man arms.
" Dorian, Cyma" His Majesty said
" what happened to her?" Queen mother asked
" she sprained her ankle, but it's nothing serious" Dorian said dropping on gently in the dinning chair.
" I'll leave now" he said
" why don't you stay and have dinner with us" gracious Queen said
" yes, you should " Quiana said and Dorian was staring at Cyma waiting for her to make the request as well. Cyma scoffed as she turned her gaze to the other side
" I would have love to but not everyone wants me here" Dorian said still looking at Cyma
" what type of game is he playing, he thinks I'll beg him to stay. in his dreams" cyma thought
" it was her highness invite, no one dares to go against her. Am I right Cyma?" Quentin said and Cyma nodded
" come on, have a seat" Queen mother said
" sure" Dorian said as he grabbed the seat beside cyma but cyma pushed it aside with her leg.
" Cyma, behave yourself" His Majesty said and she let go of the chair for him to sit.
They started eating and Quiana eyes was on Dorian throughout. cyma was about to get the plate of soup but it was farther from her so Dorian helped her with it. he even stopped her from serving it and served it for her.
" it's her ankle that has issue not her hand" Quiana said making everyone look over at them
cyma loved how Quiana's face was flushing red with jealousy, a smile crawled up her lips seeing Quiana so upset.
" actually I also hurt my hands" cyma said looking pitiful
" I don't see any injury or sore on your hand " Quiana said
" it's an internal injury" cyma said
" let me help you with this then" Dorian said blowing the soup and feeding her. Cyma was first hesitant but when she saw the angry look on Quiana's face she opened her mouth to accept it
" what is he up to?" cyma thought as Dorian fed her with a mischievous smile.
" you didn't tell us how you sprained your ankle and injured your hand" Quiana said and Cyma was speechless.
" won't you tell us?" Quiana asked and Cyma didn't know what to say. she couldn't tell them she was chasing Dorian and she fell in the process
" she fell while trying to save a little child's life" Dorian said
" it isn't that serious then" Quiana said
" it wasn't a small fall" Dorian said dipping the spoon in the bowl of soup
" that's enough, I'm full" cyma said to Dorian
" I'll leave now, I need to rest" cyma said getting up slowly
" I'll help you" Dorian said
" there's no need for that, Alpena can do that" cyma said and Alpena helped her out
" I'll also take my leave" he said getting up
" I'll see you out" Quiana said
" there's no need for that, just finish your food in peace. I don't want to disturb you" he said leaving
" I'm I the only one that saw what was going on?" Quentin said
"
