MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

Rennie slowly looked back to see Nevaeh pointing a bow and arrow at him.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“What are you doing Nevaeh, let’s go home” he said and she shook her head.

“No!, I don’t want to go with you” she replied and slowly moved to stand beside Draco.

“I don’t want to marry an old stranger, I’m not going!?” She shouted and Rennie blinked.

“Old stranger?” He asked.

Nevaeh began cutting her eyes for him and he immediately get what she was trying to do.

“Star it’s better if you come home with me, staying here is really dangerous especially when you just woke up from your coma, you’re still very vulnerable right now so you’re not save” he warned

“I don’t care if I’m still vulnerable right now, I just want to stay here!!” She argued.

“But he’s dangerous, he’s a demon you’re using your legs to step into hellfire without knowing, it’s not too late to back out, come with me now!”

Nevaeh took a deep breath and moved closer to Draco then hugged his arms.

“I’ve already made up my mind brother, I chose to stand beside danger” she said with pure determination.

Rennie just stared at her and nodded.

“Fine! You chose this life for yourself and there’s nothing I can do,” he nodded and stared at her again.

“I hope you won’t regret this decision one day” he said slowly then stared at her one more time before turning around and leaving.

Nevaeh felt tight as she watched her brother leave but before she stepped foot into this place she had already braced herself for things like this.

Finally her brother was out of sight, she was still lost in her thoughts when Draco’s voice rang in her ears.

“Miss him?, wanna go back?”

She immediately snapped her head towards him and left his hands immediately.

“No, I’m not going back, I’m staying here with you master” she replied.

“Good” he nodded and threw his swords in her hands.

“Clean it up and meet me inside” He said and without waiting for her reply or reaction he left.

Nevaeh’s eyes darkened as she watched him leave, she clenched her fist and gritted her teeth tightly.

“You made me abandon my brother today and I won’t take it easy with you, I swear” she sneered.

JADE HEAVENS**

Den got to his room and fell on the bed then let out all his breath, he had never been this tired of everything before.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, his door opened and his two already grown up sisters entered.

“Brother, are you sleeping, didn’t you sleep last night?” Shine asked and Den slowly sat up.

They moved closer to him and sat beside him.

“I saw your face during your wedding, you didn’t look happy. Is she causing you any trouble? I can hit her if you want” Ling asked.

“Me too, I don’t care if she’s your wife.. if she makes you sad then she’s our enemy” Shine added and Ling nodded.

“Don’t hit anyone you two” Den sighed.

“We just want to see you smile again, I thought you’ll finally smile after your wedding but I guess I was wrong” Ling rolled her eyes.

“I’m fine, ” Den muttered.

“Then try to smile for us, it’s been long we’ve seen you smile please” Shine pleaded while batting her lashes.

Den pressed his lips together and blocked his face with his palms.

“The truth is no matter how much I try smiling I can’t just smile, maybe I’ll smile later, can you two just leave. I wanna sleep” he lay down and covered himself with his blanket.

“It seems like you’re tired then, Shine let’s go” Ling said and Shine stood up and they both left.

Den sighed and sat up, he couldn’t stop thinking about that maid ever since last night when he saw her in the room, when their eyes met, everything just kept reminding him of her.

“I really want to see her face,” he muttered.

..

Outside the room, Ling and Shine moved closer to Boi and Fen who were busy chatting about something as they found their way to the room.

“Hey you two, over here” Ling waved at them and they rushed to meet her.

“Your highness, what’s the matter?” Fen asked and Boi listened attentively.

“Brother is really tired and would love to sleep, do not let anyone in. Anyone” Shine ordered, specifically prolonging the ‘anyone’.

“Yes your highness” both Fen and Boi bowed.

“Good, now let’s go!” Ling wrapped her hands around Shine’s shoulders and left with her.

Fen motioned Boi to go stand by the door and Boi pouted, he was about to go when he saw Sapphire coming in with her bodyguard.

She made to enter but Fen blocked her path by using his sword.

“Princess, his highness is sleeping and he doesn’t want any disturbance” Boi said.

The bodyguard at Sapphire’s back immediately drew out her sword and pointed at him.

“How dare you stop the crown princess?” She asked hard.

“Crown princess?, who gave her the title,” Boi scoffed.

“Why shouldn’t I be called the crown Princess, his highness is the crown prince and we are married which makes me the crown princess so why are you stopping me from seeing my husband!” She snapped.

“Listen princess, we are not stopping you from seeing anyone, it’s just that his highness is tired and…

Fen was talking when the door opened and Den came out.

“Highness, you didn’t sleep with me last night so I was wondering if you were okay,” she smiled.

“I’m fine,” he replied dryly.

“It’s early, won’t you have breakfast with me, I’ve told the maids to get us breakfast in the garden please come and eat with me your highness” she pleaded.

“What is wrong with you!, His Highness…

“I’ll go with you” Den cut Boi off and Sapphire smiled.

“But your highness, you’re tired, remember?” Boi asked.

“It won’t be fair if I leave her to have breakfast alone, let’s go” Den replied and Sapphire hugged his hands to herself.

He gently removed her hands from his and left, Fen followed from behind and Boi scoffed then followed too.

“Gina! Why is he always mean to me?” Sapphire asked with a pout.

“Maybe his highness still doesn’t want to accept that he’s married now but that doesn’t matter, you’re his wife and he should get that” Gina replied.

“I hope he’ll become loose with me one day, I’ve been crushing on him for so long now I’m glad that the gods chose him for me” she smiled and looked at Gina.

“Let’s go” she said and jogged off.

***

They got to the garden and Gina drew the chair for Sapphire to sit and she sat down.

“Your highness, the flowers here are beautiful don’t you think so?” She asked.

Den didn’t reply; he just motioned Fen to pour some wine for them.

Fen nodded and took the liquor bottle and began pouring the wine for him, he handed one to Den then other to the princess then bowed.

Sapphire drank from hers and looked at Den.

“I’ve decided to make this breakfast lively so I made up a dance show for us, Gina told the dancers to come in” she said.

Gina nodded and left and Boi secretly rolled his eyes.

In a few minutes, the dancers arrived with the musicians, they began playing the music and dancing.

“Hey hey hey what’s going on here, stop the music!!” Someone ordered from behind and they all turned to see Ling coming in with Shine.

They got closer and Shine went to grab Boi’s ear.

“Why is my brother outside, don’t you know that he’s really tired!” She said,

“Ouch!, Your highness it was her” Boi pointed at Sapphire and she rolled her eyes.

“But his highness agreed to have breakfast with me, I’m his wife after all” Sapphire muttered and Shine scoffed.

“I don’t care who you are but my brother’s happiness really matters, he told me he was tired this morning and…

“Shine stop, you two sit and let’s all have breakfast together” Den cut shine off.

“But brother..” Shine pout.

“Let’s sit” Ling cut her off.

Shine scoffed and took the empty seat opposite Sapphire, Ling sat beside her and Sapphire secretly rolled her eyes.

“Order the maids to get the food” Ling ordered and Boi rushed out.

He went to the kitchen and crossed his arms.

“What’s delaying breakfast?” He asked.

“Ah, we are coming now” madam Chai smiled and motioned the maids to start going, they nodded and left with the food.

They got to the garden slowly arranged the food on the table, Gianna was part of them, scoffing silently.

After serving the royals, they stood behind them and began doing nothing other than watching them eat.

Den took the chopstick and took some leaves then put them in his mouth but the moment he did that, he began coughing.

“Brother”

“Highness”

“Den”

Ling, Shine, Fen, Boi along with Sapphire called at once.

Gianna’s eyes widened from where she stood, for a moment it felt like she had lost control of her body and wanted to move forward if Ling had not shouted.

“Who prepared the food!?” Ling shouted.

The maids began looking at themselves and murmuring while Gianna pressed her lips together as she remembered when she saw pouring a lot of spices on the salad.

She could only just mentally curse herself hence she wasn’t used to entering the kitchen since as a princess everyone is always doing everything for her so she wasn’t really familiar with cooking.

“All of you one your knees I’ll ask the guards to behead everyone” Shine added and the maids began crying.

Gianna slowly stepped forward.

“I’m sorry that was me” she bit her lips and Den slowly looked up at her.

“You again?” Boi yelled and Sapphire stood from her seat Immediately.

She angrily walked closer to her and raised her hands to her cheeks.

She slapped her hard.

“How dare you try to kill his highness!?” She yelled, her eyes sparkling with anger.

However that wasn’t Gianna’s problem because the moment Sapphire’s hand landed on her cheeks, her vail flew off.

She gasped and immediately blocked her face with her hands.

“I asked a question!” Sapphire snapped.

Den stopped coughing and began staring at her with pure focus.

Sapphire’s gaze fell on her hands that were covering her face and she gritted her teeth.

“Will you remove your hands from your face already, what’s so special in the face that you’re hiding” she brought her hands to Gianna’s face, forcefully pulling her it off.

“Let go!!” Gianna used her shoulders to push her with force and she landed on the table, not just that.

She slowly slipped down and the whole food from the table fell on her face.

“Princess” Gina yelled and the maids gasped.

Gianna’s eyes widened but she didn’t have time to do anything, she just turned around and began running.

“Catch her!!” Gina shouted and the guards standing outside began chasing her immediately.

Den also stood up and ran after her.

“Hey your highness, where are you going?” Boi yelled out and looked at Fen helplessly.

**

Gianna kept running as fast as she could, they can’t see her face now, they can’t catch her now.

“Stop!!” …

She turned back to see the guards chasing after her and she increased her pace.

She kept running as fast as she could and didn’t notice the stone so she accidentally tripped on it and fell.

The guards got to her and held her immediately.

They removed her hands from her face and began gasping.

“She’s not Silva”..

“She’s an imposter”

“Who’s she”…

Was the murmurs that could be heard from them.

“Let go!” She yelled, trying to break free from them, she’s really worried because she doesn’t want Angie to see her face.

Especially now that he was already married.

“Let me go” she kept struggling but it was too late, Den had already arrived.

She immediately bent her head down and bit her lips tight.

His face darkened and he moved a bit closer to her.

“Raise your head up” he ordered but she didn’t listen.

“Are you deaf?” He said slowly.

Gianna bit her lips tight and moved her body up, she spread her two legs wide, jumping and kicking the guards that were holding hands.

They lost their balance and left her then she came and resumed running.

Den ran after her, compared to her, he was faster and in no time he got to her.

He held her from behind and she began struggling to break free.

“Let go of me!!” She yelled.

“Who are you and why are you looking so familiar?” He asked and forcefully turned her to face him.

He couldn’t stand it anymore, anytime he sees her he starts picturing Gianna and it’s driving him crazy.

She hid her face with her palms and he forcefully separated them.

The moment he did that, he froze in place and his hands slowly dropped.

His eyeballs grew bigger and his heart began pounding really fast.

He couldn’t believe his eyes right now.

Fen and Boi who ran after him immediately froze the moment they saw her.
