" I'm not upset because he looked at Acacia boobs, it might have been a mistake. What I'm upset about is the fact that he was staring at Acacia, and checking her out from head to toe. He wasn't even concentrated on the discussion, besides I know Acacia is pretty but he should have some shame and a little bit dignity " cyma said
" why are you so concerned about all these?" Alpena asked
" I'm not concerned, I'm just..... you know what, I just want to rest. I'll see you in the morning" cyma said
" alright" Alpena said leaving
Quiana went to the Queen mother's quarters and found her talking to the gracious Queen. she hid at the back of the door to listen to their conversation.
" it will be good if Dorian and Cyma got married" gracious Queen said
" that will only be possible if they fall in love, and we know how cyma is deeply in love with Zion" queen mother said
" we know Zion isn't right for her, she can't get married to Zion " gracious Queen said
" it's also obvious that Quil likes her a lot, and he'll surely take good care of her " Queen mother said
" are you forgetting the prophecy " gracious Queen said
" I know, what if it's false?" Queen mother said
" you of all of people know it's true because some of it has come to pass" gracious Queen said
" I just hope cyma doesn't find out the truth, she wouldn't be able take it " Queen mother said
" walls have ears, we shouldn't be talking about this " gracious Queen said
" what could be the secret they don't want cyma to find out and what is the prophecy they're talking about?" Quiana thought as she went back to her room where Willa was waiting for her
" your highness, I brought you some useful information" Willa said
" speak" Quiana said sitting
" I saw Young Master Zion and Young lady Cyma fighting this morning about Young Lord Dorian" Willa said
" so how is that information useful?" she asked
" if Young lady Cyma and Master Zion aren't on good terms it will favor Young mistress Ingrid" Willa said
" how will it favor me?, it will only give cyma and Dorian more time together " Quiana said
" Young Lord Dorian said he doesn't have feelings for Young lady Cyma, so if she leaves he'll surely forget about the agreement " Willa said
" are you saying we should kill cyma?" Quiana said
" no, I'm only trying to say that if young lady Cyma flee with the crown prince then he won't bother" Willa said
" but why will cyma flee?" Quiana asked
" she won't, she'll be taking away by force but we'll make people believe that she fled with the crown prince because they love each other" Willa said
" that's a good plan, that's killing two birds with one stone. if both cyma and the crown prince are gone, I'll be everyone's favorite and I'll have my Dorian all to myself" Quiana said
" three birds actually, Young mistress Ingrid will also get young Master Zion" Willa said
" when will we do that?" Quiana asked
" on her coronation day. when the dance festival is taking place, we'll strike" Willa said
the next day cyma went to the arching site with her bow and arrow to practice a bit. Zion was at the spear site, training with his spare. Despite the fact that they were the only ones on the training ground, they pretended like they didn't see each other. Zion just carried on with practice and cyma brought out her bow and arrow to start her own practice.
Her hand was still feeling quite heavy with the bow in it. She shot about three times but none got the bait and suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder arm which made her drop the bow. Zion who was watching her with one side of his eye noticed something was wrong so he went over to her.
" are you alright?" he asked
" yes" she said picking up her bow trying to shake off the painful feeling but she couldn't pick it up.
" you shouldn't have come to train, your arm is still weak" he said carrying her bow and arrow
" no, I'm fine" she said
" your aims are even off" he said
" it's because it's been long I've shot " she said
" I was watching you cyma, you're not recovered. if this continues like this, you'll have to stop fighting forever " he said and tears filled her eyes but she didn't let them drop.
" let's take you home " he said
" no, I don't want to go home. I just need some peace and quiet " she said
" let's go then" he said holding her hand.
she stared at him, he was gentle, nice, and caring. she can't wait for them to be together as couples. They were walking around and they saw young mistress Ingrid.
" young Master Zion" she said taking a slight bow and ignoring the fact that he was not alone.
" it's been long we've met, how about a cup of tea together" she said
" I'm actually busy, some other time" Zion said
" what could be more important that having a tea with a Young lady" she said
" young mistress Ingrid, as you can see he's not alone. well, except you want the three of us to have tea. I'll love it, free tea" cyma said smiling knowing Ingrid's intention
" I see young lady Cyma like hoping onto free things, she doesn't even mind about the consequences" Ingrid said
" but I don't go around trying to have something that belongs to someone else already" Cyma said before dragging Zion along
" that wrench, how did they become so close. Quiana said they weren't on good terms, and now they're holding hands and walking around. shameless, she already snatch Quiana's man as her fiance and now she wants to snatch mine as her bodyguard" Ingrid thought as she watched the way Zion was taking care of cyma.
" wait here, I'll be back" Zion said entering a shop
cyma waited for a while but Zion hasn't come out yet so she went in. she walked around for some time but she couldn't find Zion, then she heard his voice. she wanted to enter the room but what they were saying made her stop
" yes, I want to propose"Zion said
" we'll make all the arrangement for it, just tell us the location, and time you want all the preparation" the man said
" I'll send those to you, but I'll be proposing tomorrow evening. I want her to know how special she is to me, I'll given her this ancestral bracelet when I propose to her" he said and cyma peeped to see the bangle. she already had butterflies in her stomach thinking of Zion proposing to her
" okay"
