After the burial of Alexia Ziah was quiet for a while and Raven just knew because she saw someone dying Infront of her. So he went and embraced her so tight and told her some few words
"Am sorry you had to see that, and am sorry she had to die" Raven spoke while stroking her hair and she then embraced him too and remembered what the queen Samantha said about Raven not having a protector and she felt how dangerous it is for him so she pulled away from the hug and watched him.
"Make me your bodyguard, I'll train so hard and protect you. I am powerful so I will protect you okay" she spoke with a concerned look and Raven was just surprised by her sudden urge to protect him
"No it will be dangerous " Raven tried to reason but Ziah placed a finger on his lips to shush him
" I know it's dangerous but I am powerful, I just need to know how to fully utilise my powers and then I can protect you. Aren't we going to get married, then I'll be by your side always and apart from being your wife. I want to be your bodyguard" Ziah pleaded and Raven couldn't say anything after seeing how adamant she was about this issue.
"So you want to be my wife, my princess and bodyguard " he spoke with a smile and Ziah also smiled and nodded as her eyes was filled with determination and she was sure she was going make this happen.
After the commotion in the palace was settled, Ziah didn't want to go to bed and now they didn't share a room because Raven was waiting to marry her but she looked tensed so he didn't leave her and they slept together cuddling peacefully.
Back at Aston's kingdom,
"What she's not DEAD how? Aaaaah did you already kill that stupid girl's parents? I need to kill that new girl" Aston was fuming at Mira
"My king I'll look for another way to kill her don't worry" Mira assured the man and he stood up and carried her like a princess then they disappeared into the king's room. There he chained Mira and strip her clothes and then went on to spend an intimate time withe her while she was chained. This was how he did it, he always chained her womens while he made love to them and sometimes he would whip them.
In the Protector's Kingdom,
"My queen, I have discovered that the princess was adopted but the family had treated her like a slave and the man wanted to rape her. But she managed to run unfortunately she was injured and was lost, I followed the path she went and sensed a portal but it's now closed. I believe the portal leads here to Silesia but I don't know which part of Silesia " Despina explained to queen Ethika
"What my baby's here? What if Aston finds her ,.. where's she oh my God " Queen Ethika was worried her little girl who she left when she was a newborn baby was now here in Silesia but which part among the three kingdoms is she. She has to find her,
"My queen I'll find our princess I promise you, I won't rest until I get her" Despina knelt while she made a vow to her Queen and left.
Back at Morekvia,
It was now morning and Ziah had woken up earlier than Raven and went straight to train herself, she was focused on train that she didn't feel Raven coming.
"Do you really want to be my bodyguard that bad ?" He asked amusingly and Ziah turned to see his handsome face
"Yes, that will also be a good way for me to hide myself. People will see me as a warrior but only you'll know am your princess" she responded and Raven just looked at her
"Okay let's train together, come on fight me" he suggested and she was shocked
"What fight you, I only know archery and a little knowledge on how to use my power so how can I fight you?" She asked him
"Just try and along the way I will be teaching you" Raven explained and Ziah accepted then they started fighting but Ziah was lacking and slow. Raven was quick and professional, but Ziah wasn't giving up.
After missing him for some time Raven stopped and helped her to make a punch and then gave her some few tricks and they went back to fighting. Ziah was now getting upset as to why she's not able to catch him, so she just thought in her head 'if only I could suddenly appear behind him and quickly punch him' then like magic she appeared behind him and gave him a punch.
She was surprised as to how she did it but then after seeing Raven hurt she forgot everything and touched his face.
"Am sorry I didn't mean to,..oh sorry " she sounded very worried and Raven just grabbed her hands and pinned her down
"If you be this worried towards your enemy, you'll be killed in a battlefield. Don't worry I heal fast and your punch doesn't hurt.. let's just fight take me as your enemy okay just hit me, whatever way you used there that's good keep on doing that" Raven explained and let go of her then they went back to practice, they practiced for a long time till Ziah's stomach growled very loud.
"Uh I didn't get breakfast yet, I came to practice first" Ziah said with embarrassment because her stomach growled and Raven approached her touch her hands.
"Come let's go eat then " Raven spoke very calmly
"I need to freshen up first okay, I don't think it's proper to go to the dinning area like this" Ziah explained and Raven called for Emma then Emma went to get her ready. Later they were eating with the queen and Huma,
"My dear I heard about what happened, am sorry" the Queen talked very quietly and Ziah just smiled.
"It's alright now , am doing fine" Ziah answered while smiling
"When is the wedding, I can't wait to call you my sister in law" Huma talked excitedly and everyone was shocked except for the Queen who also seemed like she was wondering the same thing.
"Uh.. when Ziah's ready we will get married" Raven decided that marriage date was now in the hands of Ziah. Ziah was shocked, but now everything seems fine and her urge to protect Raven. She can only protect him if she's close to him and the only way to be close to him is to get married.
"Am ready even tomorrow sounds nice" she talked while picking up a piece of bread and everyone was now shocked
"Tomorrow? But we haven't prepared anything, oh my god we need preparation. Raven are you okay with tomorrow" Samantha spoke again with so much excitement
"If she's ready" Raven spoke again calmly
"I am sorry, I don't know how weddings are here and especially that Raven is a prince. But I would prefer something simple with my close people, " she spoke with humbleness so that she doesn't offend the Queen but the queen understood her and Raven added " I also don't want anything extravagant mother, also it will be safe for Ziah now Aston got his eyes and ears on her. We must keep her safe and a simple marriage with family sounds okay."
"But father and Seth are not here what will we do?" Huma asked and the Queen responded
" I had written a letter to the king and told him about Ziah and how you found her and that she's your mate and he's on his way with Seth, so by tomorrow he will be here and though he will be shocked by the sudden wedding am sure he will be happy about it. Also we will tell him about Aston's incidence, so are you guys ready to be wedded tomorrow?" Samantha responded so confident with her queenly aura
"I am ready," Ziah answered and Raven smiled as they watched eachother with lots of love.
" Okay then I have a lot to handle, now I will tell them to prepare the wedding area and as you want it will be a very confidential wedding with just the family. My dear Ziah you'll have to come with me for your dress and Raven oh my god I have been dreaming of arranging my children's weddings. So chap chap we have a lot to do" the queen spoke while getting up and taking Ziah's hand and leaving with her. " Oh Raven stop looking at me like that from tomorrow she will be with you always, now I need a mother daughter in-law time"
