The story of the Princess Of Clarines

Chapter 18

I slowly open my eyes and saw Zen standing over me with worrying in his eyes. He had tears in his eyes because his eyes were red. "Shirayuki, Are you okay?" Zen asked with a worrying voice, looking down at me.

"I'm fine, Zen," I answer in a weak voice. I try to sit up but Zen put his hand on my shoulder and push me back down on the bed.

"You need to rest don't move around too much." He said. I laid back down and I saw Kiki, Obi, and Mitsuhide all standing around the room worrying about me.

"What about happening to Amanda?" I asked, looking at everyone.

"Don't worry so will not be a problem anymore," Mitsuhide said, looking at me.

"We took care of it, Shirayuiki. You need to rest like Zen said." Kiki said, looking at me

"But now there will be a war between Clarines and Vanaheim," Obi said, putting his hand behind his head. Kiki, Mitsuhide, and Zen give him a look to tell him to shit up. I looked away because it is all my fault.

"What?" Obi asked, looking at everyone in the room. "It is true because we kill the princess of Vanaheim."

"OBI, SHIT UP." Everyone yelled, looking at Obi

"I'm sorry." I apologizing. After I said that Kiki and Mitsuhide hit Obi on top of his head.

"Ough." He said, rubbing his head.

"Don't listen to Obi, you don't have to apologize?" Kiki asked.

"You don't need to apologize to us," Mitsuhide said.

"Zen will do anything for you," Obi said, sitting down on a chair because his legs were starting to hurt.

"But-" I was cut off by Zen voice.

"Shirayuki this is not your fault, don't blame yourself. I give the order to kill Amanda. This is all my fault. " Zen said, taking my hand in his. I looked at him and saw love in his eyes. But still, It feels like this is my fault somehow. I can't stay anymore here. I'm will just bring shame to him and the kingdom. That minute I made up my mind that I was going to left the castle tonight. "Let's take you to your bedroom now," Zen said, helped me to stand up out of the bed. Before we left the room Zen whisper in Obi's ear. I watch when Obi give a small nod. We walked down the hallway to my room following my Kiki, Mitsuhide, and Obi.

"You have a good night, Zen," I said, looking at him. Zen pull me in close to him and whisper in my ear.

"Goodnight, Shirayuki." He said, pulling away from me. I walked in my room and close the door behind me. I grab a bag and starting to throw some clothes in the bag. It was almost midnight and everyone is already asleep. I grabbed the bag and open the window to my bedroom. I climb down and land on the floor. I starting to hide behind the tree so the guards don't see me.

"What are you doing?" asked a voice be hid me. I turn around and saw Obi standing there.

"Obi, what are you doing here?" I answer with a question. Obi cross his arms over his chest and narrow his eyes at me.

"Master, Kiki, and Mitsuhide, already know about you were going to do this. Mitsuhide is stand by the gate and Kiki is stand by the wall looking for you. Zen told me when we were still at the herb building to make sure you don't leave the castle and try to run away. then later on outside of your room, he told Mitsuhide and Kiki about it. " He said explaining, looking at me.

"It did not surprise that Zen did this. He knows me all too well." I said, looking at Obi.

"You got that right. Thank you, Obi you did your job. You may leave now. I will take care of this." Zen said, walking up to me. Obi walked away from us. "You are going to run away?" He said, standing in front of me.

"I thought you will be in bed asleep?" I asked, looking away from him.

"How could I sleep when the woman I love is trying to leaving me," Zen answer, pulling me close to him. He holds me very tight to him.

"Clarines is at war with Vanaheim because of me," I said, feeling the tear roll down my face.

"I told you I will handle this, Don't you trust me." He said, rubbing my back.

"Yes, I trust you Zen," I said. Zen pick me up in his arms and walked back to the castle. but he was not taking me to my room. "Where are we going?" I looking up at him.

"I can't trust you the rest of tonight without you trying to run away. You will stay with me for the night." He said open the door to his room and walked in. He throws the bag down on the floor and walked over to the bed. He laid me down on the bed and took off his shirt.

"Zen what ar-?" I asked but before I could get a sentence out. He presses his lips against mine and runs his hand down my neck.

"I love you, Shirayuki. I will show you how much I do. I will try to do everything in my power to keep you here with me." He said, kissing my neck. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry. I love you too, Zen," I said, kissing him on his lips.

"This time sorry will not be enough. I need to punish you for trying to run away." He said. "Stay with me. I need you." He said, laying his head on my chest.

See you next time...
