♧︎︎︎𝑾𝑨𝑵𝑻 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑻𝑶 𝑮𝑶♧︎︎︎
Amelia couldn’t stop thinking about what happened in Nunu’s hut.
“I can’t believe this” said Amelia, she is too engrossed thinking about it and she couldn’t feel or see Nunu inside the room she is in.
“If I may ask, what are you thinking about?”Nunu asked in a whisper, due to their closeness, Amelia jolted out of her thoughts when she felt her breathe on her neck.
“Nothing much, I’m just to surprise that my wish could be granted, it still feels like a dream, I have been a maid since the beginning of my life. So, I just can’t get it off my head that I’m not a maid anymore”She expressed truthfully even when she is fully aware that that is not what she is thinking about.
“You have nothing to worry about the king’s opinion, he is just mad that you can leave him alone”Nunu said and she nodded her head cutely.
“That is impressive Lia, I wouldn’t have believe it if someone told me this”Veal who have been listening to their conversation appeared.
“My king you are awake? When? How?” Nunu and Amelia asked with surprise written all over their faces.
“Priestess Nunu, who are you?” Veal snapped and her heart skip a beat.
“Priestess, I’m a healer and a seer”She summoned courage to reply his scary question.
“When did you change your face? The priestess I know is very ugly and shapeless! What happened to that priestess, why am I seeing a pretty woman? Why is your face…I just can’t explain who I’m seeing right now!”Veal yelled and Nunu move away from him a little.
“My king, are you okay?”Amelia asked and try to touch his hand but he move away from her before her hand could land on his arm.
“Why are you trying to be nice when you you betrayed me? You can abandon me not like this is the first time I will be left alone, even my own mother leave me”He smiled but one would see that it is a sad one.
Obviously he is hurt and he expressed that through his fake smile, his words have great impact on Amelia to the extent that she feel like yelling at Annie for possessing her.
Nunu sighed as she rubbed her forehead with her palm.
“My king”Ebbe called and entered the room but she stop talking when she notice everyone’s mood.
“What is happening?”She asked when she couldn’t figure the cause of the silence.
“I think king Veal is not feeling okay”Nunu muttered and move closer to Veal.
“You mean?”
“He need to get treated before the news spread to the villagers”Nunu suggested and Ebbe walk forward to Veal to touch his forehead.
“Seems nothing is wrong with him”Ebbe faced Nunu.
“Think wh@??ver you want!”He yelled.
“All I know that this woman is not priestess Nunu”Veal completed and started walking out of the room.
“Amelia, what do you think is wrong with your master?”Nunu asked Amelia who is also lost in thought, she ignored her question before finding her way out of the room.
“Seems master and maid are going crazy then”Ebbe laughed.
⁂⁂⁂⁂
Amelia move outside the room, she couldn’t get what Veal said off her mind.
“Am I a betrayal?”She asked at the point of tears.
“Why are you like this?”Annie asked from behind.
“You caused all this! I did not ask you to possessed me! I have no intention of becoming a priestess”Amelia snapped.
“Why? Have you forgotten that is why you are created! You are…”
“I’m a healer and a seer, I know.. But I’m not ready for all of that, Veal now see me as a betrayal! I don’t want to leave him coz he have been lonely and the only person I think he trusted is ME. I thought he would object to the opinion but he respect me and let me go but I’m hundred percent sure, he regret doing that! He did not want me to go but he is too kind so let me go”Amelia yelled as tears rush down from her eyes.
“If I may ask; Why are you crying?”Annie asked.
“I don’t want to leave Veal”She replied and Annie started laughing.
“You are not leaving Veal, the both of you are meant to be”Annie reminded with a smirk.
“Why are you trying to separate us then?”She asked.
“You can go and tell him, you will not leave him or you should return to his chamber and neglect your duty to save and help people because of your feelings”Annie said and vanish into thin air.
Amelia rough her long hair she is still doing that when a plan pop on and she remove the band she used to pack her hair before wiping her tears.
She started walking toward the room Veal was, she breathe in and out before walking in but she was dumbfounded when she couldn’t find anyone inside.
“Where is king Veal?”Amelia asked a guard standing at the door.
“He left with his men”He replied and she felt like crying immediately.
“Why am I feeling this way?”She mumbled as she tried to control the tears building up in her eyes.

“Lady Sadie is here”Veal heard the guard voice but he is too sad to reply.
“My king, how are you feeling now?”Sadie asked as she bowed her head.
“Do you know what Lia love the most?”He questioned, ignoring Sadie’s greetings.
“I’m so sorry my king but we are not close to the extent of knowing what she love the most”Sadie bowed.
“Okay”He simply reply before walking to his inner room.
Sadie sighed fraustratedly before walking out of his chamber and she bumped on Yara at the entrance.
“You are welcome my lady”Sadie bowed and wait till Yara walk inside the chamber.
“My king”Yara called and started walking inside the inner room when she did not hear any response from Veal.
“What do you think you are doing?”Veal snapped.
“I’m here to check on you, my king”Yara smiled.
“Thanks, I’m fine now. You can leave”He snapped again.
“I want you to congratulate me, Prince Gareth announce that I’m your financee”She blushed and Veal who is sitting on the bed stood up immediately he heard that.
“Gareth announced that you are my wife to be?”He asked, just to be sure of what he heard.
“Yes my king”She answered.
“You can go”He said.
“I have one more question. Can I asked the maids in my father’s clan to bring my belongings and tell my father about the good news so, that we will start preparing for the weeding ceremony”She said with a smile.
“Don’t do any of those things”He warned and she sighed before walking away angrily.
“What are you scheming with your devilish mother?”Veal groaned.

Ivan could be seen walking into the clan with his guards, Lyla who have been waiting for him smiled when she saw him coming.
“You finally came”She smiled.
“Where is Lima?”He questioned, ignoring her happy expression.
“She is in her room but you have to see king Veal first, he is back”Lyla remainded.
“Oh, I will just say hello to him later, I need to see Lima”He smiled awkwardly.
“Why do you seems interested in her issue? If I did not write to you, there is no way you can know she is down. You don’t even bother to greet me when you saw me, are you that obsessed with her?”Lyla snapped and Ivan started laughing.
“You fall for the trap. I intentionally plan to do this, so that I will know if you are a jealous type and I can see that now” Ivan said with a smile.
“Like seriously”Lyla cover her face in embarrassment.
“You don’t need to do that, I already know one of your behavior”He said and she hit his arm.
“Lima is in her room, you can go and check on her. I will be in the garden”Lyla changed the topic and made to leave but Ivan grab her hand.
“What?”
“You look beautiful wearing those earrings”He complimented and Lyla did not realize when she started blushing.
“Thanks my prince”She replied shyly before walking away hurriedly.
“I’m trapped”Ivan groaned before leaving with his guards.
“Prince Ivan is here”The guard at the front of Lima chamber announced before allowing him to go inside.
“Ivan”Lima called, she rush to him before pulling him into a hug.
Ivan did not think twice, he also hug her. The hug last for five minutes before they eventually disengage from the hug.
“What is wrong with you?”Ivan snapped and Lima smiled.
“Why did you refuse to come outside? Why didn’t you eat? Why did you look unkept”Ivan yelled and she smile again.
“I’m okay, I just need space”She replied.
“Why are you like this?”Ivan asked again.
“I told you I need space”She said.
“Why do I feel like you have feelings for me?”He suddenly asked.
“Feeling for you? You must be a joker! Seeing you right now cheer me up, wait for me in the garden while I get dressed”Lima smiled and he nodded before walking out of her chamber.
“How did he know that? He must be so crazy”Lima laughed, she sighed thinking about Lyla.
“I will fall for another person and we will be happy forever, I wish she also stay happy with Ivan”Lima prayed and started taking off her clothes.

Zuriel just returned from priestess Nunu hut and she is fumming in anger already, she still find it hard to believe Nunu cast a spell on her which make her unconscious for some hours and Amelia saved Veal which means, he is free from the spell.
“Nooooo” Zuriel screamed.
“Mother”She heard her son voice and footstep approaching her.
“What is it?”She asked.
“I have told everyone that Veal is getting married to Yara, guess what is going to happen if those two get married by next month and the villagers did not hear any news that the king have birth after a year. Just the thoughts alone make me smile”Gareth explained.
“I’m glad you have think about it”Zuriel smirked.
“What are you taking about?”He asked when he noticed his mother cold voice and unfriendly mood.
“Before we could succeed in k*lling Veal, we need to get rid of Amelia. She is a thr_@t”She said with a scoff.
“I can’t believe she could talk to me like that the other day. I think she is in love with Veal”He smirked.
“That makes it more interesting, to be betrayed by someone she is close with and she should also betray her stupid lover”Zuriel smirked.
“We can just think about that later, what about Veal heir…”
“Veal have been healed, I don’t think that spell is still working on him”Zuriel cut her son off.
Gareth fold his fist angrily before standing on his feet.
“It high time you stop trying, powerless people are meant to be powerless”Gareth muttered angrily.
Zuriel also stand on her feet, she raise her hand it land on Gareth right cheek.
“You just slapped me?”He asked.
“Get out of my sight”She yelled and he walk away angrily.
Eduardo who have been watching make a sound and Zuriel sharply turn to her.
“Eduardo, the spell…”
“He is not okay, he can never have any child”Eduardo assured and Zuriel breathe out in relief.
“That’s great, but I think queen Ebbe curse is not active anymore coz he doesn’t look angry anymore. Why did Amelia have the power to break Ebbe curse and can’t break your curse?”Zuriel asked.
“That is because Ebbe curse is the main target, no one have idea if he is barren”She replied and Zuriel smirked.
” About your son…”Eduardo was cut off by Zuriel.
“Can you just ignore him, he is just too childish”Zuriel smiled.
“That is not it….your son is under a curse”Eduardo completed.
“What?”
