A ROYAL TALE OF JEALOUSY - CHAPTER 34&35
“He pass out again?”Nunu muttered in disbelief.
Amelia check his pulse before repeating the same thing she did few seconds ago and to her surprise, he move his hand and his eyelashes moved.
“I think we have to let him rest for a while”Nunu suggested before leaving the room while Hera continue sobbing.
Queen Ebbe release a fake smile before walking to Hera.
“It is fine, he will be alright”She assured, trying to hide her angry face.
“I’m…at..fault..I did not..”
“Hera, calm yourself! No one is at fault here, you know that Veal is the last prince but the gods still choose him over his older brothers. Don’t you think they are his rivals and they will try to harm him”Ebbe cautioned.
“Harm him? Why? That is unfair, he doesn’t know anything about harm, he grew up with a pure heart”Hera cried.
“You know priest Ebbe said he need to rest…. let’s go and have a talk outside”Ebbe smiled dragging Hera along.
Amelia stared at Veal’s face for thirty minutes, there is a thing she is planning to carry out once Veal wake up.
Her prayers for him to wake up were answered after three hours, Veal tried to sit on the mat with the help out of Amelia.
“Lia”He called with a smile and she smiled before touching his hair.
Nunu, Hera and Ebbe entered and sat around him.
“You don’t have to suffocate me”Veal scoffed and Hera laughed, she just believe that her Veal is awake coz she just hear his crazy words.
“Is that how to thank the people that stayed with you?”Hera chuckled.
“No mother”He smiled and Nunu sighed, she stared at Veal with a warming smile on her face.
“Amelia, thanks for saving him. What do you want from us”Nunu asked when she noticed her mood and she use her power to know why she is like that and she find out she need something.
“Lia”Veal called and she smile at him.
“If I tell you what I need are you going to grant me the wish?”She asked.
“Go ahead and tell me, I will do anything for you”Nunu assured.
“I want to leave the palace”She release the bomb shell and Veal smile slowly turn to a frown, Nunu also stared at her for a long time while Ebbe smirked; Exactly what she wants her to say, no one will be able to protect Veal once she leave.
“Lia, you are going to leave me alone”Veal reminded with a cute face and Amelia couldn’t help but smile, she touch his hair.
“Don’t skip your meals, be careful around everyone in the palace don’t be stubborn, always open up to lady Hera and be a good king”She advised as they watch her playing with Veal hair and talking to him informally.
“I can see you are both close”Ebbe smiled.
“Please protect Veal and don’t harm him again”Amelia turn to Ebbe who shifted back uncomfortably.
“Stop the silly farewell, I have not grant your wish..what am I even saying? You are not going anywhere, you will stay by my side in the palace”Veal snapped.
“I have always wanted this, I don’t want to be called maid”She wipe her tears.
“Do you love being called priestess?”Nunu asked and she slowly turn her face to her.
“A priest?”
“Yes”
“You have the features of a priestess, I notice you have rare power within you, if you don’t mind I can train you”Nunu assured, all of a sudden Amelia felt heavy and she find herself telling her “yes, I will love to become a priestess”.
“Good”Nunu and Hera clapped their hands as they pull confused Amelia into a hug.
“You don’t need to go anywhere, I will get you more white robes and you will start living with me”Nunu smiled and she nodded without thinking.
“Lia…”
“I will visit you my king”She bowed and walk away.
“Don’t you think the wish is too big for a maid?”Ebbe asked with jealousy written all over her face.
“Don’t get jealous of a maid that want to become a priestess.. you are a queen”Nunu pat Ebbe back before leaving too.
“My king, we should start leaving”Hera suggested.
“Amelia will start staying here?”He asked.
“Yes my king”Hera smiled.
“I still have headache”He frowned and sleep on the mat properly before using his duvet too.
“What? He doesn’t want to leave because of Amelia?”Hera scoffed not enough for Ebbe to hear.
“Huh?”Ebbe raise her eyebrows.
“Nothing…thanks for the care”She thanked.
“You are welcome”Ebbe replied.
“My head hurts!!”Veal snapped and they both kept quiet.

<TRAINING ZONE~SUKRISH CLAN>
Archer sat on the chair lost in thoughts, he was so engrossed to the fact that he did not see Ronea coming.
“Archer”She called and he jolted out of his thoughts.
“What are you thinking about?”Ronea demanded with a frown.
“King Veal is in priest Nunu hut, he is unconscious, I tried going there but the guards told me that uninvited people are not allowed in”He explained and Ronea sighed.
“We are not that close but he is the only prince I like in this clan”Ronea revealed and Archer turned to her sharply.
“You like him? Why? Have you forgotten that you are siblings? Don’t say that in front of anyone”Archer warned.
Ronea who seemed confused, touch his forehead before bursting into laughter.
“Why are you laughing? Is it funny to you?”He snapped.
“Of course, I like Veal as my brother. What were you thinking before”Ronea questioned as she fold her arm under her bøøbs.
“Nothing…much”He laughed.

<PRIEST NUNU YARD>
“Annie!!”Amelia called angrily.
“What?”Annie asked from behind and she swiftly turn to her.
“You know it is not in my opinion to tell Nunu that I want to become a priestess”She snapped.
“That is why you are created, you are born to be a seer, a heaer and king Veal’s mate”Annie informed.
Amelia is not interested in her excuses but when she heard the last part “King Veal’s mate” she was stunned.
She stood on a spot dumbfounded.
“I think your first child with king Veal is going to be a boy”Annie teased when she noticed her expression.
