"What is that I'm hearing? Are you crazy, you want to mount a horse?. Have you lost your mind, have you even looked at your injuries?" The king lowers his head in dismal then he lift it up fixing his query gaze at his son."Why do you need a horse for Kidron?. Where are you planning to go to?." "Dad!" Kidron tries to sit up in bed to explain himself but the fierce pain from his body, stops him again."Oh, let me guess!" the king says sarcastically then he adds "To go and visit the fiancee of the man who nearly killed you, just a few hours ago or you have forgotten already?. As if it wasn't foolish enough, you want to go in their habitat alone, with no escort. Like are you for real, son?!" he widens his stares, surprisingly."You can barely stand up, straight." he cries at his son's foolishness. "Dad, he nearly killed me but he didn't." he scowls. "So this is why you want to go there so that he can finish what he started?" the king wanders aloud. "That is not what I mean and you know

• • • Eve's POV • • •~ ~ • • Solis Kingdom • • ~ ~After about two days on the road, we finally arrive at the Solis Kingdom. We notice a crowd as we slowly approach the palace's gate. "Our queen is back!. Long live the Queen!. Long live the future king of the solis kingdom!" the crowd scream. It's like the the whole kingdom has come to welcome me back and this is so heartwarming that it feels like an achievement. Just a few weeks ago they didn't know about my existence. But now, they are all gathered here, for me. I guess they are here mainly because of the announcement of the wedding that was made, surely they hope to get some food and drinks for free.We simply bypass them and enter the palace and the gate is immediately closed. We unmount our horses. Adams helps me down with a grin on the face saying "My queen." I simply smile back. Aww, he's so cute.While the king is mad, "Why do they keep mentioning her name, calling her Queen?. I thought no one knew a

• • Eve, Elite POV • • The morning sun has barely surfaced, when Adams gets up to park his things. After parking and dressing, he then comes to my bedside, caresses my hair and he gives me a kiss on my forehead and leaves.Suddenly, I shudder out of sleep like I had just had a bad dream in which Adams was leaving without me. I quickly move out of bed, and browse my eyes around the room and he's nowhere to be found. This makes me anxious. I notice that breakfast was served and was eaten already. I hurry out of the room, check the corridors leading to the compound like a mad dog. I arrive the compound just when he's about moving out of the gate and I scream so loud like I was the only one around. "I can't believe you are doing this to me" He instantly stops at the sound of my voice, then he moves backward with hesitation."I thought we were leaving together." I stroll towards him. "Eve, you made it clear that you need time and space. And this is exactly what I'm giving you; your s

• • • Eve's POV • • •"Where are you, Very soon the run will start without me. I'm sure they are already gathered at the site and I'm the only one left as usual" she looked at the sky to estimate the time and she's right. "Eve, where the hell are you?!" Matilda keeps roaming, peeping left and right like a thief. She's worried, and it's normal since she isn't supposed to be in this arena. She looks up to the sky as it changes its shades and her shoulder slumps helplessly.After waiting for Eve to no avail, she finally gives up and she decides to go without Eve "At least I've tried." she consoles herself.While I'm nervously lettering around my bed, thinking on how I'm going to leave this palace without anyone seeing me. I have never gone for a run and I'm definitely going to go for this one with Matilda.~ knocks on my door ~ I calm myself, taking a deep breath before going to open the door. "Maryline I told you I want to be left alone." I cry as I lazily stroll to the door, I op

• • • Eve Elite Edward Jones's POV • • •While Matilda was being lowered, Uncle Edmonton left with Sir Rocky to where I don't know and I seriously don't give a fuck. That Rocky man can go to hell I don't care. "We're super late for the run, I think you should go back to the palace before Maryline notice your absence. We will run some other time." she says it to Eve yet she doesn't mean it."Are you going home?" I ask not minding what she just said. "No, I'm going to check on the others at the run site." she retorts. "Then I'm coming with you, and please don't try to stop me." I cry out."Okay, - Okay!" she lifts her hands in defeat without fighting, then we move away."Girl you definitely have to do something about this." I lift my brow in confusion as Matilda's words breaks the silence. "Your people need to know the face of their queen; you. Think about it." then she adds seriously as we trek into the forest."You are right but what can I do?" I retort thoughtful yet I see n
