The story of the Princess Of Clarines

Chapter 29

It has been weeks since I find Haruka and Zen are getting very wondering about why I been going to the herb building every day. But one day I did not realize that Zen follow me to the herb building. I open the door to a small room we put Haruka in so he can stay out of the way.

"Good morning, Haruka how are you?" I asked, looking down at Haruka. He let out a bark and run around me. "I got you same food and water. I said put them down in front of him. Haruka got bigger and fatter then he was before.

"How long have you had him here?" Asked a voice behind me. I turn around and saw Zen standing in the doorway with his arms over his chest.

"Zen. I was going to tell you." I said, knowing he will want to be to send him back. He walked passed me and pick Haruka up in his arms.

"Let go." He said. I feel a tear run down on my cheek. Zen took my hand and we walked away from the herb building but we did not go to the village. Zen walked into the castle and went to my room.

"Zen," I said, looking at him. He opens the door to my room and put me inside. After I was in my room. Zen close the door behind him. He set Haruka down on the floor and pull out a dog collar. He put in around Haruka neck. "Zen you knew I had Haruka for a while now did you?" I said.

"Yeah, I follow four days ago. Every time when you left I come play with him." Zen said, patting Haruka head. "And today I thought that he needs to be in the castle with us," Zen said, walked up to me.

"Thank you, Zen," I said wrapping my arms around his neck.

"You should have told me. I will say yes." Zen said, give me a kiss on the lips.

"Okay, I'm sorry," I said, laid my head on his chest. Zen wrap his arms around and hold me tight.

"Let go to bed," Zen said, pick me up in his arms and walked over to the bed. He laid me down on the bed and climb in beside me. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me close to him. Haruka jumps on the bed and laid his head on my legs. We close our eyes and fell asleep.

The next day Haruka follow Zen all around the castle wherever he goes. I walked into Zen's office and saw Haruka lay on the ground by Zen's feet. "Hello, Zen," I said, walked up to him.

"Hi, Shirayuki." He said with a smile. Haruka runs up to her. Shirayuki knees down and pats his head. "What are you doing?" Zen asked, looking at her.

"Nothing much. I just got bored." I said, sat down on a chair and Haruka jump on my lap. Zen let out a laugh and smile at me.

"I'm bored to doing paperwork. I rather spread time to you." Zen said, lend back to his child. I looked out of the window behind him and it was starting to snow.

"Zen, it starting to snow," I said, walked up to the window holding Haruka in my arms.

"Hey, when it stops snow lets go outside," Zen said, turn his chair around to look outside.

"It so beautiful," I said, watching the snow fall.

"Yeah, it is," Zen said, looking at me.

"Do you want some hot chocolate?" I asked, put Haruka down on the ground.

"Yeah, that will be nice." Zen answer, watch me walk to the door.

"Okay, I will be back," I said, walked out of the room and Haruka follows after me. I walked down the hallway to the castle Kitchen.

"Oh Princess Shirayuki." said a maid, looking at me when I walked into the room with Haruka."What can I do for you?" She asked.

"I came down to get some hot chocolate for Zen and me," I answer, looking at her.

"Okay, I will go and make same." She said, walked off to make Zen and I same hot chocolate.

"Thank you," I said, a seat on a chair and wait for her to get done making the hot chocolate. After a while, the maid walked back over to me with two cups of hot chocolate.

"Here you go." The maid said, hand me the cups. I took the cups in my hand.

"Thank you," I said, walked out of the room and went back to Zen's office. I open the door and saw Zen have his head on his desk. "Zen," I said, walked up to him.

"Shirayuki, thank you." He said, sat up and took the hot chocolate from my hand. He set it down on his desk.

"Are you work very hard?" I asked, rubbing his shoulder.

"Yeah...that feels good." He answers, closing his eyes.

"I hope so," I said.
