A week passed by again. With the permission, Elder Eric was able to fit the royal harem. When Hezron heard about this, he couldn't believe his ears.
"That little girl is really cunning. She used my seal to fix the royal harem." He said, neither cold nor soft.
"Her majesty is very sagacious." Amos said proudly.
Hezron gave him a cold stare. He was right but Hezron wasn'tready to accept it. He still had that hatred for me.
Elder Eric was done with the royal harem. All materials were also provided. We decided to start the project. The labourers were also provided. The direction of the places were all noted to all labourers. The work was divided into groups. Everyone knew what and where they were to work.
"Can I go with you to check the land?" I asked Elder Eric.
"Not yet. Her majesty should come later."He said.
"That's ok. " I said.
They moved everything. I looked as the people and materials went away. They were going to stay there for some time.I received another letter from Mom. This was an encouraging one. They all thought my life with Hezron was beautiful and also like that of a fantasy.
That night, Hezron visited his beloved. He had a little chat with her.
"You must punish her.The way she spoke to my father was rude." Vanessa said.
"How many times should I say, I can't. This can't be a reason for me to leave her. The elders wouldn't like that." He said.
They were done with their activities, laying naked on the bed.Covered in blanket.
"Don't you love me anymore?" Asked Vanessa.
"Don't take this argument there." Hezron said.
"What! Are you defending her now? Don't use the elder as an excuse. Have you fallen for her?!" She yelled.
"Don't use that time on me. You know what, just think of what you said. When you cool down, you know where to find me." Hezron dressed.
"Are you just leaving like that? You wouldn't dare! You can't just leave." Vanessa said. Hezron didn't mind. He kept dressing.
"See you when you come back to your senses." He said and walked away.
"You can't leave like this! You will come begging like before. You have no one!". Yelled Vanessa. Those words were hurtful for Hezron. He looked at her, but she showed no remorse.
"You've changed." He said and went away.
After two days, Dorcas informed me that I needed to visit the orphanage with his majesty.
"Can't I go alone?" I asked when he was combing my hair.
"Her majesty should forget the hatred."
"I have no hatred. I just don't like him." I said truthfully.
"Her majesty should at least tolerate for the children." She said.
"I will."
I went to the dinning room for breakfast and there he was , sitting on his seat. What was he doing here? I ignored everything and went inside. I bowed to him and I sat down.
"Dorcas". He called. "Did you forget to teach your lady-"
"Some manners? His majesty must have forgotten I was raised in a family they call mannerless. They instill that in me." I said politely with a smile. I know I told Dorcas I would behave but he was some way be.
"Rude." I heard him say.
"Arrogant."I also said filling my bread with butter. He looked at me astonished, together with Dorcas and Amos who stood a far.
I ate as if nothing had just happened or i just said something.
"Prideful." He said again. I was chewing bread so I said nothing.
"Impuden." I said after swallowing the good in my mouth. I wasn't looking at anyone, but he knew who I was referring to. I but another piece of bread and are as if I didn't say anything.
Instead of being annoyed, he was amused. He looked at me. No person on this earth has ever talked like that to him.
"You never go by the rules ,do you?" He asked. I was masticating so I didn't answer right away.
"His majesty knows the answer." I answered after five minutes after he asked.
There was complete silence after my answer. I was glad he didn't talk again. I was getting annoyed with his voice. Dorcas could only stand there and shake her head.
"His majesty must be feeling uncomfortable with my presence, I will take my leave." I said after I finished eating. I couldn't wait for him to finish first. I didn't wait for his reply, l left the dinning room. I felt his gaze on me but I didn't look back.
"His majesty really knows how to leave a place she shouldn't. Using the person's own words against him". Amos said. He received a cold stare from Hezron. "Pardon me your majesty. " He couldn't hide the boy in his eyes.
"Make sure everything is well arranged. "
"I will recheck again." Amos left the dinning room.
After seven minutes, I was brought down my Dorcas. I saw his majesty on his horse. I was late but it wasn't intentional. Lamech helped me enter the carriage. Dorcas followed behind and we left. I looked out side. The street was full of many people both adult and children. The people were very busy. The streets were clean and also full of plants and flowers. Children kept running here and there. I kept looking outside at stores and other materials. I was thinking of visiting an instrument shop for some instruments. Ronoris had good instruments.
After almost an hour of riding due to slow riding, we got to the orphanage. Lamech helped me out again. I saw Hezron get off his horse, but he didn't walk. He stood there. I walked to the entrance of the gate. He started walking as soon as I got to where he was. So he wants us to act like great couples in front of others. I can at least do that for him.
"Greeting, your majesties." A woman who looked around her fifties said. We both nodded.
We entered the place. The children were there as they welcomed us. I smiled at all of them. A child around five or six rushed towards me and hugged me.
"Tina!"Yelled Mrs. Lun. I rode my hand at her.
"You're very pretty." Tina said. I squatted to her level.
"You think so?" I asked softly. Hezron was surprised to hear this tone of mine. She nooded.
"Do you know you're more beautiful ?" I asked but she looked surprised. "Let me tell you, you're more beautiful than me. Especially the colour of your eyes. Its darkness is like onyx. Do you know onyx?"
"No." Tina said.
"Onus is a special black stone like gen used to make necklace." I explained softly.
"Thank you." She hugged me tightly almost crying.
" Don't let others discourage you. You are more beautiful than ever." She smiled.
"She your hair real?" Asked a girl around ten or eleven.
"Kacy!" Yelled Mrs. Lun. I stopped her again.
"You can touch it to see." I smiled. I gave her my hair and she felt it.
"Wow! It's really real." Kacy said excitedly.
"Your skin is so fair. Are you an alien?" Asked a boy around eight.
"Leon!" Yelled Mrs.Lun. What was wrong with these kids?
"I'm not. My mother is from the western part of Maneky. Those people are said to have fair skin, as white as snow. My mother and her family's skin are just like mine." I explained softly. They all smiled at me.
"You're a very kind girl. Someone would have pushed them away. Your smile and kindness are genuine." A girl in her teen said. I would say seventeen. They nodded.
"You shouldn't let their rude behavior stop you from wbat you want to do. That waa how they www"You shouldn't lettl their rude behaiorbehavio
