Amelia on the other than, is more like a dead person, the way she is walking and the way she look, one can mistake her for a weak mad person.

She sighed, her eyes roaming around the village and it finally land on a wine seller, she started running to the place.

“How can I help you?”The woman asked with a smile.

“Can I get a cup of wine?”She asked staring at the calabash she used to keep her wine.

“But, I don’t have money”She added and the woman who was about giving her the wine drop the wooden cup on the table.

“How do you want to pay for the wine if you don’t have money? I don’t sell credit here”The woman managed to smile and Amelia pouted sadly.

‘Only if she is aware that she is a friend to a king’She thought.

“I will pay for it”Amelia heard a masculine voice from behind and she slowly turn to see the helper.

Her eyes landed on an handsome tall man, though, he look old but he is very handsome.He have long face with small eyes, his nose is also small but his lips is plump, his tallness can make any woman fall in love for him at first sight. He also look so responsible.

“Hello”The man waved his hand at Amelia who is busy judging his look in her head.

“Hello, thanks for buying me this wine. I promise to pay you some other time”She bowed and Wesley chuckled at her cuteness.

“Let’s have the drink together”Wesley smiled and they both collet their wine before sitting on the mat which is far from the counter, they sat on the mat and put the cup of wine on the small table.

“Am I going crazy? No, this is not her. But…she is the one. That is my sister, my Amelia”Brielle mumbled and the people around her glance at her.

“What is she doing here, she still sound like the five years old Amelia”Brielle smiled and stood up before walking to Amelia and Wesley

“Amelia”She called and Amelia face her with a question look.

“Who are you?”She asked innocently.

“You don’t remember me? Take a close look at me. I’m the one”Brielle lips started trembling, she thought she will jump on her and embrace her but the opposite of her thoughts happened.

“Do I know you?”

Brielle walk away with tears in her eyes, so, she is the only one that still remember her sister and keep her in her memory, she is the only one that has eager to meet her? She is the only one that still have the thought that her sister is alive? She is the only one that miss her?

Brielle keep on sobbing as she continue walking not minding where she is going.

Her leg mistakenly hit a stone and her eyes widened when she was about falling but a hand grab her waist which prevent her from falling.

“Marcus”

“Lyla”Ivan called, shock written all over his face when he saw her, he came to wait for Lima coz she promised to meet him there.

“I have been waiting for you”Lyla smiled and Ivan bash his eyes lashes cutely. He is confused.

‘There is no need for the confusion, Lima said she have no feelings for me! I should forget this’His inner mind scolded.

“You don’t look good”Lyla move two steps closer to him while Ivan move back.

“What are you doing?”Ivan asked when she keep on moving closer to him.

“I can see your mind is dïrty, I just want to feel your temperature if you are running fever”Lyla laughed.

“Ohh, there is nothing wrong with me”He smiled.

“Woah, this is so nice”Lima clapped as she entered the garden. Ivan quickly move away from Lyla, he was about going to Lima when he come back to his senses.

“What are you talking about?”His asked, trying all his possible best not to sound awkward.

“Where are you running to?”Lyla and Lima laughed and he also burst into loud and fake laughter.

“You two are so funny. I’m glad Lima is feeling better now. I will go and say hello to king Veal”He rush his words and walk away before the twins could give a reply to him.

“Why were you moody?”Lyla asked Lima and she sighed, hoping she can just tell her that she is the one k*lling her, with the hope that she can just warn her to leave Ivan for her.

“I just want to be alone. I’m fine now”She shrugged.

“Be alone? Do you know how worried mum and brother was? I thought…”

“Do you know how devastated I was? I lock myself up and decide not to see anyone do you think I just did that without any reason?”Lima yelled.

“I’m asking you the reason why you did that?”Lyla snapped.

“The reason is a secret”Lima smirked and started walking out of the garden but she stop when she saw Ronea staring at her.

“What are you doing here?”Lima asked with so much hatred.

“You are welcome back to yourself”Ronea smiled.

“Why are you acting like you care?”She snapped.

“Meet me in my chamber if you are ready to open up to me”Ronea winked.

“I will rather d*e than to say anything to you”She snapped and walk away angrily.

“Are you that close with Lima?”Lyla asked with a smile.

“Someone might mistake you for an angel when they see you smile”Ronea roll her eyes before walking away too.

“Like seriously”Lyla smirked, at the same time folding her fist aggressively.

“I can’t believe a warrior is crying”Marcus sighed.

He help Brielle get home and sit her down. She couldn’t stop crying and he did not interfere but he have to say something coz it is taking longer than he expected.

“I am not warrior”She raise her head.

“Ewww, you really look bad when crying”Marcus complained and slowly wipe her tears with her robe.

“How do I look now?”She sniffed.

“You are not that bad”He winked and she smiled.

“Thank you! You should leave now”She smiled and hs smirked.

“What if I refuse to leave?”He asked with raised eyebrows.

“Why? Is there anything you want to tell me?”She asked with raised eyebrows.

“Nothing much, I just want to know the reason why you were crying”He replied.

She sighed.

“I meet my sister today and I find out the person I have been dying to see, protect, and save doesn’t recognize me, she even asked me if I know her…what a joke. I know it’s been long since we departed but I make sure I keep her image in my head, I expect her to do the same thing but to my greatest surprise, she did not recognize me anymore. I guess she is living best of her life that is why she forget her one and only sister”Brielle said and wipe the drop of tears on her right cheek.

Brielle glance at Marcus who was quiet, she glance at him because she expect him to say something but he kept quiet and his eyes not leaving her.

“You are not going to say anything?”She asked.

“How old is she when you departed?”He suddenly asked.

“She is a girl of 5years old then”She replied and Marcus groaned.

“And you are?”

“7years old”She replied with a frown.

“You are more mature and sensitive than her then, the only person she cherish most at that age is her mother. She is still very young to even think of you as her sister, she thought you are just a friend. Besides, you can’t say she doesn’t know you, I’m sure if you get close to her and ask her if she have any family member she’d tell you she have a sister and she will mention your name. She doesn’t recognize your face doesn’t mean she did not know you or she forget you. You were a little crazy girl then but you are now a zany ugly lady now”He completed with a smile and Brielle smack his head.

“How dare you?”She yelled with a smile.

“Are you still sad?”He asked.

“You are quite reasonable, I don’t expect you to be that sensible.keep it up Marcus”She smiled and he nodded.

“You called me a warrior the other time”She remainded.

“Me? You heard me wrong, you don’t even have the attribute of a warrior”He smirked.

“Why are you body shaming me?”Brielle burst into fake tears.

“I didn’t mean it like that, I..I..you know you get…ugly when… crying?”He stammered as he move closer to her.

“Can you rate my ugliness?”She asked.

“You are not even crying”He scoffed and wanted to shift back but she grab his arm and move her face closer to him.

“Rate my ugliness”She asked with a wink .

Marcus suddenly feel his sense leaving his brain, he couldn’t get his eyes off her well sculptured face. From her round small eyes to her pointed nose and small pink lips. She is the real definition of beauty.

“What are you doing?”She asked intentionally, she could see he is going crazy because of their closeness and she is not ready to move an inch away from him.

“Brielle”Marcus called when he finally come back to his senses.

“I should leave now”He smirked and made to stand up but she pull him back.

“I don’t want you to go”She pouted.

⁂⁂⁂

Wesley insist on walking Amelia home even when she reject the offer.

“Thanks for the wine”She smiled a weird smile.

“It is fine Ame”He smiled and she frowned.

“My name is Amelia”She said, raising her voice a little bit. She dislike the nickname immediately.

“I can see you don’t like that ”Ame” can I call you Lia then?”Wesley smiled and her eyes widened.

“No, Amelia is not to long for you to pronounce”She stick her tongue at her him.

“But Lia sound good”He said.

“Someone special is calling me that already, just call me Amelia. Please”She smiled.

“Do you have a lover?”He suddenly asked and she sighed.

If she want to answer that question, it will be ”yes” coz she is aware Veal is her mate but how can she marry a king? It is going to be a tough.

“The sky is beautiful”She suddenly screamed.

“Beautiful like your smile”Wesley complimented.

“What a joker?”She laughed.

“You don’t even bother to ask me where I come from”He smiled.

“Oh, do I need to do that?”She smirked.

“I’m Wesley from this village, my father is a hunter and mother sell clothes. You may think I came from a poor home but trust me I’m from a noble home”He bragged.

“You don’t have any siblings?”She asked.

“I have two older brother”He replied.

“Woah, you are still young then”She smiled.

“Yes I’m so young, I’m just 36years old”He release the bomb shell and Amelia was dumbfounded for some minutes.

“Amelia”Wesley called when he noticed she stopped walking.

“What is wrong?”He questioned and she shook her head.

She sighed and started walking with a weird look ok her face.

‘I can’t believe I had a drink with my great grand father’She thought.

“You look so young, how old are you?”He asked.

“I’m just 23years old”She replied with the hope that he could just leave her alone.

“That’s is so nice. People might mistake us for a couple”He laughed and she started coughing.

“What is wrong with you?”He asked and made to touch her but she move back.

“My mother will be so mad to see me with a man. I need to go”She excused before picking to her heels.

“She is so cute”Wesley smiled.

“You did not have the chance to talk to Veal”Nunu asked immediately Amelia entered.

“Why are you asking?”She snapped.

“Amelia”She called and grab her hand before pulling her on the chair, close to her.

“You are the only one I trust, I don’t want you to leave him”She pleaded.

“Why are you so worried about him? Are you that close with him?”Amelia asked.

“I did not have to chance to”She replied with a sad smile.

“Why? I’m sorry but…you are just a priestess”Amelia said.

“I’m not just a priestess to Veal, I’m someone very close to him, I’m the person he always wish to see, I’m the one that bring Veal to life”Nunu smirked.

“Bring him to life? How?”Amelia asked confusedly.
