    ire’s pov


    Different thoughts ran through my head as I needed to achieve my mission fast, I knew that in order for me to  achieve such a mission, I needed to get close to Adrian first.


    I came out of my chambers as I saw Adrianing out of his chambers with his poker face on, I knew that going close to meet him right now was bad news because I had already received threats from him and I did not want to die.


    I was disturbed as I racked my brain in order toe up with a perfect solution for my predicament, on knowing that I did not know what to do, I headed towards my father’s chambers because I needed advice on my current predicament.


    The few days I have spent with my father turned out to be the best day of my life, I’m wondering right now why I made the statement that my father was a cold hearted beast who only knew how to take care of himself.


    Turns out that it was part of the exterior also, ording to him, wolves are not to be trusted as they can break one’s heart, in order for his heart not to be broken easily, he had to put up such an exterior.


    I entered my father’s room without knocking, funny right, I met my father running through some documents as I went to the couch whichid before gin and sat down hoping for him to be done with the document he was signing.


    He looked up and saw me, a smile was on his face as he left the document in which he was signing and came over to meet me, I  hugged him and he patted my back, after our little reunion, he said


    “What brings you here” He asked


    I exined everything to him, as he chuckled and gave me ideas on how to go about it, I stayed in my father’s chambers for some time, after a few hours, I left the chambers as I went to the pce hoping that I was going to see Adrian alone.


    I entered the pce and only the moon goddess knew how happy I was when I realized that Adrian was alone, he was not with his personal guards which was quite amusing.


    He was reading a book in the pce and it was an unspoken rule among those who stayed in the pce that anytime Adrian was reading, nobody was permitted to go to him at that very moment.


    I strolled around the pce as I was looking for something to do, I went to the library which was at the pce and took a book.


    I was ncing through the book, my mind was not there as I was focused on the one who sat on the throne reading a book. After a couple of hours, I saw that he was done reading the book as I went to go and meet him.


    He looked at meing with an undecipherable face, I could not understand his expression, I was earnestly hoping that what I want to go and deliver will not destroy my life but rather it will create a bond between us which was never there.


    I bowed my heas before him, he took him quite a few minutes before he spoke


    “Rise” he said.


    I raised my head up as I fell in love with his blue sparkly eyes, I knew to myself that I had not been able to see Adrian quite close. I was lost staring at his eyes before a word brought me out of my reverie.


    “Done staring?” He asked.


    “Stupid me” I thought to myself, I hate showing my vulnerable side to someone especially the ones that I am not closed with but I just showed it to Adrian.


    Different thoughts ran through my mind, the one that I showed this shameless part of it was to the one I least expected – Adrian


    “Can you do me a favour?” I asked politely


    Adrian looked at me like one who had grown two heads, I was shaking because the statement in which I made could be interpreted in two ways and each of the interpretation had a way of building or destroying me.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Adrian looked at me, I realized that his eyes had not changed colours and I was relieved. He said with a cold voice


    “Which is?” He asked


    I really wanted to visit the outskirts of the city in order to feast my eyes on the goods that are in there, I think that is a habit of mely, apart from being locked up in this pce.


    I would rather visit the market that had bustling activities spelling out the word – freedom


    “The market” I replied


    There was a shocked expression on his face, I could tell the reason why, I did not like visiting such ces because I felt that royalty andmoners are parallel lines that cannot meet.


    Ever since my predicament started, I knew that the way I was thinking was very bad, I needed to correct it, I needed to go the market in order to express my heart felt apologies to them.


    He entered his room as my countenance was sullen, I waited for some minutes and he came outside looking different.


    He was wearing a white shirt on a tight fitted trouser, he packed his hair in a ponytail style, a ck mask was covering his face.


    “Let’s go” he said


    I couldn’t believe what was happening, this is the first time in a long while that such an urrence is taking ce, I was not seen with Adrian ever since Lena came into the pce


    We went into the outskirts of the market as I could sense the freedom in the air, the genuine happiness they felt, ever eyes were focused on Adrian, I knew they will be wondering who the person beside me was.


    We got back to the pce and I was looking exhausted


    “Thanks ” I said.


    He did not reply as he went into his chambers, I went into my chamber to rest, today has been a long day
