Cyma got back to the palace and all her weapons were taking away from her. she even had two bodyguards staying in front of her room all day to make sure she doesn't get out and stays on her room all day.
Zion heard about the incident went he came back and he went to visit cyma in her room.
" hey" he said as he saw Cyma lying down and looking at the ceiling.
" you're back" she said
" you look down" he said sitting beside her and she sat up
" how was your trip?" she asked ignoring what he said
" it was okay, they was just a misunderstanding between the two cities. Those people who attacked us weren't from Dulce, they must have been from the east side" Zion said
" that's a relief" she said
" I got your favorite snacks on my way back" he said showing her and her mood lit up on an instant
" OMG, you're the best" she said hugging Zion
it didn't take up to two minutes before she finished everything.
" that's just what I needed, everything I love to do has been taking away from me. I can't even leave my own room" she said
" they just want you to recover that's all" he said
" I'm fine now, I can move my hands" she said swinging her arm
" yeah, I can see that" he said laughing.
They talked for a while and then Zion left to see His Majesty.
Then some maids brought in two gallon of soup with a note saying get well soon . they dropped it on the table for her with spoon and a bowl.
" what's that?" cyma asked
" it's chicken soup and vegetable soup, Mr Brooke brought it" one of them said
" tell him that I won't have it, I would rather feed it to the dogs than eat it" cyma said and the maid left
then she rushed over to the table to serve the soup and she finished everything unknown to her that Brooke was watching her from afar. Dorian as been sending her soup and she has been rejecting it in public but eating it in secret, not knowing Brooke was spying on her and giving Dorian feedback.
one faithful day, the same scenario occured as she was taking the last spoon of soup Dorian entered and caught her red handed.
" did you enjoy it?" he asked with a cunning smile
" what are you doing in my room?" she asked hiding the plate
" isn't it obvious, I came to check if you enjoyed the soup" he said
" which soup?, I didn't even taste it. I gave it to the dogs" she said as he approached her
" here" he said cleaning the soup gently off her mouth
" it must have splashed when I was serving it " she said
" that's good then, I wanted to stop you from drinking it because of the content in it" he said
" what did you put in it?" she asked
" what do you think?" he asked with a cunning smile
" poison?" she asked
" I can consider killing you in the future or reconsider killing you if you behave, but for now I'll keep you alive you're still of great use to me" he said poking her on her forehead
" huh?"
" well, I just put some herbs that won't allow a woman to conceive " he said
" what, you wicked fellow " she said as held her stomach crying and he bent down to her level and wipe off her tears
" are this tears?" he asked and she gave him a death glare
" if you had few drops of the herb, they is still a slim chance of giving birth. but if you add a lot of it, then the person womb will be totally damaged" he said
" so how much did you add ?" she asked
" the whole bottle" he said bringing out a big empty jar
" my goodness" she exclaimed
" why are you so bothered about the dog not being able to conceive, I mean it's the dogs that drank the soup" he said and she kept mute
" well, I'm not that wicked. I brought an antidote on my way here" he said
" give it to me " she said
" why, I'll go feed the dogs myself " he said
" no I'll give it to them" she collecting it from him
" okay, but be careful so it doesn't splash in your mouth again. I mean it's very poisonous to humans " he said and she paused
" what?" she asked
" yes, I got this for the dogs. it's an animal antidote, the human own is at home. " he said
" why?" she asked
" you said you were giving the dogs, not an human. so I decided to do some experiment " he said
" tell Brooke to get the human own " she said
" what, why are you so worried..... wait a minute. did you drink out of the soup?" he asked and she nodded
" it's fine, since you only drank a bit of it. I'll send Brooke to get it " he said
" I drank all of it " she said
" all of it?, I'm sorry but I can't help you with that" he said
" why?" she asked
" it's only today you drank the soup right?" he asked
" no I drink all of it every day " she said
" and do you enjoy it?" he asked
" yes" she said he laughed
" you finally admitted it " he said
" you!, you were joking?" she said and he nodded
" then what is this?" she asked opening the so called animal antidote and saw it was water.
" relax, I told you I won't let any harm come to you so don't worry for now" he said
" for now?" she asked
" yes, I don't know about the future" she said
" you...." she was saying as she charged against him but she tripped and fell on him. he caught her in place holding her waist as her hair covered his face and their gaze were glued to each other.
" cyma," Zion said entering and he met them in that position
