Zaina recalled the first day of the Spring Festival. After taking their pictures at the photo booth, they had gone to witness the most exciting event of the day, the polo match. Zaina had seen the Knights play the sport in her kingdom and every time, she would be amazed by it. It was one of the sports she wanted to try but her father was against it. The sport was dangerous and he did not want his precious daughter to get hurt. The man was adamant about it and none of her pleas worked on him. So, Zaina could only give up on the sport. However, she had not stopped watching it.Just as always, she followed Kharal excitedly and the man was astounded by her high spirits. Miranda giggled seeing the man’s befuddled gaze. “Lady Zaina loves this sport. It’s just that her father has prohibited her from playing the game ever.”

The long, stressful day finally ended and the sun rose, bringing with it hope and warmth. The depression and the sorrow vanished as the first rays of the sun hit the kingdom. Miranda woke up the moment the sun rays fell on her. Stretching her arms, she mumbled, “Lady Zaina, wish me luck. I am going to meet the Lord today and if everything turns out well, I might return to you soon with happy news.”Without wasting another minute, she got ready and this time she did not disguise herself as an old woman. Instead, she wa

"Lady Zaina," The knight answered, his face not showing much expression. However, he saw the evident surprise on Eldrick's face, and he wondered if he had spoken anything wrong. To add more to his confusion, Eldrick started to laugh out loud as though he had heard something hilarious.Even Talay seemed to be amused and was grinning. Only the knight did not understand what was happening, and he did not know what to do on seeing the two men smiling happily. "Milord," He started hoping to find out what had happened."Kind Sir, do inform your Commander that I will definitely help him. I'll assist Lady Zaina escape from the marriage as well as from Hollis. Also," Eldrick retrieved a parchment from the cupboard behind him and wrote something on it, before folding it and placing it in an envelope. "Could you please hand this letter to Lady Zaina personally?"Although the knight could not comprehend what was happening, he still agreed to follow his orders. He had known

“Younger brother?” Eldrick blinked in confusion when he heard Miranda's feeble voice. “Why didn’t I know about Zaina’s brother?” He narrowed his eyes at the girl who, instantly, cowered seeing the Lord’scowl. She could not comprehend his expression, especially when the man had his lips pursed and face serious. Raelynn noticed Miranda’s terrified eyes and she coughed, trying to gain her brother’s attention and the man turned to her at once, getting her signal. She shook her head, pointing her head at the girl and Eldrick immediately softened his gaze. “Lady, I apologize for scaring you. It was not my intention to do so.” Eldrick closed his eyes trying to calm himself down. “I was surprised to know that Lady Zaina has a younger brother. I never knew about him.”

Meanwhile, on the side of the palace, Raelynn and Miranda walked slowly as they took a tour of the place. Although Raelynn tried to cheer the girl beside her, she could see her slipping in and out of her deep thoughts, every now and then. She was still apprehensive about things and her eyes were red from her tears. Raelynn knew nothing she said or did would reduce the tension, but she could not allow the girl to worry about the matters either. Her brother would take care of everything peacefully. Zaina and her brother would be safe and Eldrick would take care of Dimitri once and for all.
