The story of the Princess Of Clarines
Chapter 8
I walked into the training area where Zen, Obi, Kiki, and Mitsuhide are at training with their wooden sword. I stand by a pellet looking at Zen. He was training with Obi but he got off guard when he saw me. Obi knock the sword out of his hand and trip Zen to make him fall to the ground. "You let your guard down," Obi said, help Zen to stand up on his feet. Obi turn to see what Zen was staring at. When Obi also turn then when he saw me stand there at the end of the arena. "Oh, Hey Shirayuki," Obi said, walking up to me, pulling the wooden sword down on the ground followed by Zen.
"Hi, Obi," I said, smiling at him. Kiki and Mitsuhide walked up next to Obi while Zen walked up next to me. After I see the training something in me want to learn how to use a sword. Maybe I can talk to Zen back in his office.
"Hi, Shirayuki. How are you today? " Mitsuhide asked, stand right in front of me.
"Hi, Mitsuhide. I'm doing good today." I answer, smiling at him.
"Will we can take a break for a little bit," Zen said, hold my hand in his. We walked back to his office and sat down on the couch. Mitsuhide and Kiki were pulling book away that was on Zen's desk. Obi sitting on Zen's desk watch Mitsuhide and Kiki pulling the books away.
"Zen, I want to learn how to used a sword?" I asked, looking at him. when he eyes got wide. Mitsuhide, Kiki, and Obi stop what they were doing and looked at us.
"Mistress, want to learn how to fight?" Obi asked, looking at me. I turn my head to look at Mitsuhide and Kiki their eyes are wide too.
"Why do you need to fight?" Zen finally said snapping out of the shock. I turn my head back to him and stared at him in this blue worrying eyes.
"So, I can learn to how to protect myself," I said, looking at Zen. Zen looked at the other and they know what he was going to tell them. Kiki grabs obi and grabs him out of the room followed by Mitsuhide. Zen took a deep breath in and let it out.
"Shirayuki, as your so to be my wife. As your husband is my job to protect." Zen said, pull me in close to him. My head was laying on his chest listening to the sound of his heart beat.
"But-," I said, but I got cut off.
"No but. I not letting you used a sword." Zen said, hold me tighter in his arms. something about him holding me this tight feel wrong to me. Is he scared to lose me?
"What about a bow and arrow?" I asked, looking up at him.
"I said no," Zen said, letting go of me.
"No, you did not you say no about using a sword," I said, got him off guard.
"What do you want to learn how to fight. Just let me to my job." Zen said, stand up and walked out of the room. Okay, now I make him mad. Maybe I should go to my room and leave him alone for a while. I walked up and walked back to my room. I open the door to my room and walked in. I went over to my bed and throw myself on it. I hold the pillow tight over my chest and think if Zen will forgive me. I heard a knock on the door and went over to answer and it was Ella.
"Shirayuki dinner is ready." She said with a bow. I was not very hungry right now.
"Thank you, but I'm not very hungry," I said, looking at her.
"Okay, I will see you later." She said with a bow and left down the hallway. I closed the door to my room and walked back out to my bed. I laid down and closed my eyes hoping to fell a sleep. I was about to fall asleep in I heard the door open. I open my eyes and sat up on the bed looking at who walked in my room without knock. It was Zen.
He stands there with his arms crossed over his chest. He did not look to happy. Maybe because I want to use a sword like everyone else. He walked over to my bed and sat down at the end of my feet. "I'm sorry," I said because I don't want him to be mad at me. He did not say a word. "I'm sorry, please don't be mad," I said, feeling the tears run down my face. Zen grab my hand and hold it in his.
"I will never be mad at you." He said, kiss my hand. "I will protect you no matter what. I love you Shirayuki." He said, move close to me and give me a kiss on the lips.
"Zen." All I can say. Zen pull away and smile at me. He stands up from the bed.
"I have to get work done." He said, looking down at me. I did not want him to go but he has to because he the prince and the Kingdom comes first no matter what. He knows what I was thinking because of his lips up against my ear. "I will come back and stay here tonight." He whispers, pulling away from me,
I looked up at him and smile. "Okay, see you," I said, watch Zen walked over to the door and open it.
Before he left the room he looked back at me. "I love you, Shirayuki." he after he said that he left the room closing the door behind him. I laid back down in my bed and waiting for Zen to come back. But my eyes can't stay open long enough to wait for Zen. I drift off to sleep.
See next time...
