"Dilan!" Anna shouted and got up from her bed sweating badly.
"What a strange dream? What if Dilan removed my blindfold? Why am I dreaming about Dilan? Even though he asked me to be his friend I should have refused. Why are you doing this Anna? Now I can't even refuse him because what if he thinks that the GREAT QUEEN can't keep her words. I should be very careful with him because I don't want another soul to die because of me" Anna thought to herself and slept again seeing the moon.
The next day Anna woke up late. Once she got dressed she went to the dinning hall. Isabella was looking at her with curious eyes.
", why are you looking at me like this?" She asked her rolling her eyes.
"no anna, I am not looking at you" she looked here and there.
'maa, you know what, you are a terrible liar!" Anna told her. Isabella giggled at her like a small girl .
"nothing much anna. Its just that I have never seen you sleep till this time after we came here. You have always been a earlyriser. But, today I'm seeing my old anna whose face looks brightly! She said controlling her tears.
Anna was shocked to hear this. She never thought her change in behaviour could affect her mother this much and she felt that Dilan's arrival has changed something. First, she got a friend secondly, she woke late due to his dreams. This is something she never thought.
"what happened Anna? Where are you? Are you in this world?" Isabella crossed her hand across her face. Anna came out from her thought and looked at Isabella blankly
"maa, thats because I had a dream! So, I can't sleep properly" she said blankly.
"ok anna" Isabella said with a smile.
"Is there any news about our official affairs?" Anna asked eating her food.
"actually yes Anna. We have to start our next war by next month because the climate is not nice for us now and we want a trainee to train many soldiers because the old one is busy with the female soldiers. Yesterday the King of malcolm sent us a message that he accepted to the royal dinner with his family" Isabella finished with a sigh.
Anna finished her breakfast, wore her blindfold and she walked a few distance and turned around and said to Isabella
"maa! Im go.ing.. out tod..ay wi..th .my. frie..nd this ..eveni..ng"she said nervously.
"A friend! Who is that?and dont tell me that he was the reason behind you late wake up and glowing face" Isabella asked sarcastically. She was surprised by anna. But, she just want her daughter to be happy.
Anna was stunned to hear such comments from Isabella . she looked (with blindfold) at her with a blank face for which Isabella smirked
"maa, what are you talking? He is just a friend nothing more than that. If something happens you will be the first to tell. Anna said to her.
"you didn't say who was that friend?" Isabella asked her curiously!!
"its .. its Dilan maa!" She said nervously.
"oh ! Dilan, that dress designer right! Interesting, he is new to the kingdom but he managed to impress the queen in the first time itself and also made her his friend. I think its going to be interesting after this. A lot of twist and turns in annas life. Isn't it anna?" Isabella asked her nervously. Damn! She was very nervous!!
"maa, what are you talking? Nothing will happen like that." She thought about her dream last night. She said trying to hide her blush. Isabella laughed seeing her Anna like this!!!
