”What is this I am hearing mama?” Zenia walks in shouting at her mom .
”Oh what happened dear ? Is everything ok ? ”
”The hell it's okay !!! How can you hide this from me ? Zen's getting married and I come to know about it now ? What's wrong with that guy that is why ...this is why ... I always told you to not keep Zen away from me see what has happened now ?” A frustrated Zenia slams the corner table as her mom Eleena looks on . Eleena was Zen's Paternal aunt . She and her husband were in charge of the Abhara province in the Kingdom of Isla . Isla was a huge place and was one of the strongest nations ok the world . Several small provinces were handled by the members of royal family but Ofcourse Zen was the supreme leader of all .
”Gosh Zenia will you please stop for a second . It's true Zen is going to get married and he even had a grand reception held to introduce the girl but since we were out on a trip we couldn't attend it . I'm also shocked as well but what can we do now ? ”
”Don't say that mama ate you saying I should forget Zen ?”
”Ofcourse not dear . We will stop him he is just making use of the free time we are giving him I guess it's time for us to make a move . Why don't you go to the palace I'm sure things will get back to normal . Most of them dislike her you have got a plus point there show her what you are and that you are only one who deserves him ”
”You are right mama . I won't let anyone take my place . I'll make sure to finish her off so that she flees back to her homeland . That's it I won't let Zen to keep this distance anymore !” The blonde girl yells as her dark brown eyes rise in determination . Zenia wasn't taller than Alisha being the same age as hers .
**************
Alisha is busy writing notes as Neil reads his book .
”Hey Neil ..where is Ashia? I haven't seen him lately ?”
”You should be concentrating on what you are writing My lady !” Neil says straightening his glasses.
”Umm. ..sorry that just popped in my head ”
”His Majesty has assigned him to escort the feudal Lords in their journey he will be back in 2 days .”
”Wait what ? The feudal Lords who came for the meeting today ? Anyways whose bodyguard he is by the way he should have asked me first you know ?”
”Ashia seemed okay with it besides he isn't the only one assigned for grading you ?”
”What ? What do you mean ?”
”Apart from Ashia his Majesty assigned about 70 guards the sole reason for your protection ”
”Seriously ! But why 70 that's crazy ...”
”People can target you as you are going to be the future queen and also for your abilities so it was necessary ”
”I see that explains why I constantly feel being watched .. ” Alisha looks aside saying that . She just didn't wanted to trouble others for her sake . Neil notices her concern . After sometime he goes to see Zen . He extended Alisha's study hours as she tends to keep missing it purposely.
”May I come in Your Majesty !”
”Neil !Sure what's with the formality ?”
”Well I am supposed to be this way .. its respect not formality . I see you are still busy ?” He smiles and walks in .
”Yeah I just have some documents to refer then I'll have dinner ”
”Sure thing ! Anyways I have something to ask you . Lady Alisha wants to meet Zorro she insisted me so I couldn't resist moreover she got to know that I was Neliyel thanks to me without glasses ” He sighs .
”I see. So I believe that promise talk earlier was regarding this ” Neil nods as Zen continues . ” She doesn't know that I'm Zorro right or else she would have made a great fuss about it ”
”Yeah that's right Your Majesty! ”
”And now she wants to meet Zorro to repay her so called debt huh. . She issuch a pain ”
”You read her ! So... will you ?”
”I decline ! Who said I would such a thing ? Make her some excuse I'm too busy for such things !”
”But .... I promised her ..”
”I never told you too you should this well Neil !”
”So is that a no ?”
”Ofcourse it is ! Anything else ?”
”I'm afraid not. It's alright I'll make up something . It's my fault after all. Please Excuse me Your Highness! ” Neil leaves but Zen feels bad rejecting like that . He couldn't help it as he was packed with meeting addressings and visiting other nations were under his to do list moreover he had to free himself to spend time with his best friend Erwin who was arriving to his place after 5 years . Next day morning Zen received a message that the meeting was postponed to a different date as due to an unexpected circumstance. Neil enters bringing the reports from the black ops an organisation which maintains peace and harmony on the kingdom and also takes care of internal affairs .
”These are the weekly reports your Majesty! . ”
”Oh Thanks Neil . By the way what's Alisha doing ? ”
”I didn't check her she should be awake by now . Do you want to see her? ”
”No its alright .... actually tell her she can meet Zorro today but I'm not sure where ...why don't you arrange a place of possible ”
”What ? Really Sure your Highness how about the Park Avenue. Not many people go there so...”
”Yes no problem . I'll be there by 12 inform her as well .”
”No problem I'll inform her right away but what about the meeting Sir ?”
”It got cancelled . Don't worry about that . ”
