7 Isll kill you (2/2)
”Highness ! ”
”I.... can't let him do it . I'll ask him to stop !”
”You will not , Highness ” Neil steps in opening the door .
”Neil ....”
”I'm to return you to the land of lauderdale right away on his Majesty's order . ” Alisha couldn't believe what he said . She froze as her limbs began to tremble .

The general slams the table gritting his teeth surrounded by the other military men who were ripped off their ranks .
”Me. Exiled from the country ? ! That brat ... he is mocking me .....”
”Please calm down General ! ”
”But ...”
”We all feel the same way as you do . We have already made the preparations. It's only a matter of time before he falls from his throne .” One of them says with a devious smirk on his face .

Alisha packs her stuff and leaves the palace . Neil accompanies her as they both sit in the carriage.
”You seem rather ticked off .”
”Ofcourse I am Neil . He basically just divorced me !”
”But you didn't want to be here in the first place , did you ? Also there wasn't any wedding that took place either ”
”Look. I'm just mad how emotionless he is . After all that he just drives me out without even looking me in the eye ! . If I had known people were trying to kill him , I could have helped you know !”
”Allow me to apologise in my Lord's stead .” He bows in front of her .
”No... where did that come from ?”
”He does not know how to seek help from others . In addition you must understand . Sending you home is his way of showing consideration for you . His Majesty wished to protect you . ”
”Huh..” Her eyes widen . She realised what he was saying was the truth indeed. She looks down thinking about him . The carriage suddenly stops amd as they both get down to look what happened the horse rider exclaims in panic looking at the huge smoke coming in the direction of the palace .
”What is that ?” Alisha was shocked . She runs towards the palace as Neil follows her . They reach the palace to find the third floor of the building in a complete inferno . The people were scared and it was chaotic. No one were there to calm them amd everyone were worried .
”His Majesty ! Is he safe ?” Neil asks one of the soldiers.
”We don't know Sir . It's very difficult for us to get inside .” Neil runs towards the building . Zen manages to escape from his room through an emergency exit leasing to the rooftop .
”Man ..They really have done this time . Setting the palace on fire how immature !” Zen says standing on the roof .The advisors and others get worried . If the neighbouring countries come to know of the fire they'll attack the land making use of the situation. Something had to be done quickly . Then a voice hits their ears a melodious voice ... A voice filled with love ... care and emotions .
”Come clouds ...come .
Hear me today as I stand below you ... come rain come ...
Drops fall down ...
Let me feel you ... let me show him that the world is still beautiful!
Let me fill the void in his heart with happiness .
Spread joy with your droplets
Quench my thirst of your appreciation . Hear me today !
Fall on this land today !” Alisha commands raising her hands towards the sky as she casts the spell and sings her song . The rain begins to fall on the dry land as Zen watches her in astonishment .
Everyone are surprised and filled with awe . No one knew that someone would be capable of doing such a thing . The rain extinguishes the fire and ceases when she stops her singing . A rainbow appears on the blue sky . Tears fall down from Zen's eyes as he remembers something from his past . The sun shines bright and dominates the clouds . Alisha looks at him standing on the other side of the building . She herself couldn't believe what she did . The servants begin to clean the damaged place . Everyone calm down . Zen comes down looking at the damaged side of the building.
”Jeez. They really made a show of it . ”
”Your Majesty ! I brought her ” Neil walks with Alisha .
”You drive me out and then bring me back what do you think you are doing ? ”
”Why didn't you just go then ?”
”There are still a lot of things I haven't seen here . Anyways how was it ? Did you like the rain ?”
”It wasn't pleasant at all . Drops of water from the sky . My clothing and skin were soaked . It tasted funny and at the end of the day water is just water ! You are happy aren't you ? Did you want to show me what you were capable of so badly ?”
”What ? What's that supposed to mean ? This was the first time I did it . I never knew I could actually do it ... just thought to give a try . Anyways I'm done playing along . Bye ” She turns back to move but he holds her .
”The more you act like that ... the more you make me difficult to let you go ! You are going to make my life more amusing ... I'm actually curious what else you can do . ” He says looking into her eyes with a mischievous smirk on his face as he touches a strand of her hair .
”What ?! Damn you ...”
