Growl For Your Soul

Chapter 28

Zinnex's POV

"That's for today , ladies. You are dismissed." Lady Sampurna said as I tossed the fan to the other side of the room once she left. "Finally , it's over. A sword was much more lighter than this paper fan." I complained as I sat on the cabriolet with my arms in the air. "Say Zinny , what's with the two small black scar like marks on your neck?" I immediately touched them , realised I was wearing a heart shaped top dress , which easily revealed the marks.

"What actually happened , made you run out from Paiogs? But then your relationship between Agrona and yourself was like took ten steps ahead from us." Mihaka said while leaned to me. I ruffled her hair as I said calmly while grabbed my cup of water ,"It's just..... Admitting feelings instead of hiding was much more easier...." "So....when's the engagement party?!" I spilled out my water as I looked at Mihaka.

"Say what?" "I mean , pfft-" , Nana let out a small laugh as she hooked me by the neck with her arm ,"The engagement party? Where you announce your engagement to the whole world? Especially to that Clyde Aniture." "But....won't your Alaistair be like...mad? I mean, a fight was even brought up by the two of them." I said while fiddling my fingers , afraid I will loss someone because of this , especially my 'sisters'.

"Oh , Alaistair? I will settle with that fella in a day , with the power as the spirit of Polastra." She said sarcastically , made me chuckled a bit. "Then , tell me , o' powerful spirit of Polastra , what have you seen by the next minutes of the future?" "Well , I have predicted that you will be screaming 'I'm late!' the next second." "Why would you even said that? I was never la-" I looked at the clock that was pointed was to eleven ele- "Oh my God! My sword lessons! I'm late!" I yelled as I rushed out the royal maiden lesson room , back to my shared chamber while Nashira's evil laugh echoed in the hallway.

"Say , boss," Osiris asked while I grabbed a bowl of warm soup from the counter , "Pfft , why are you calling me 'Boss' by the second?" "I mean , why not? Instead of calling Lady Zinnex or Blood Goddess , 'boss' fits you , doesn't it?" He said while gave a his flirty smile. I grabbed a plate of mashed potatoes as I smacked it into his face. "Save it for your future mate." I joked while have a extra bowl of soup and walked away , leaving poor Osiris.

"So , what's your statement?" I asked while sat with the warriors. "Those mark..."I once again touched it as I once again realised I wore something that could easily revealed my marks. "Oh...yeah?" "It's Agrona , wasn't it?" I almost spilled out the soup as I looked at him. "I-I mean....yes?" "Oh right , speak about that , any of you notice that there are marks on his highness's neck~" I choked by the mashes potatoes as I heard what one of the warriors just said.

'H-He showed them?" "You two did make out , didn't you?!" The guard yelled as awes and howls echoed the canteen. I hit my face on the edge of the wooden table hardly for such embarrassment. But soon the canteen gone silent as my wrist was pulled up by someone. I looked up and found none other but Agrona himself who has a smirk upon his magnificent face.

"Hey there , kitty~ Seems like my men were messing around with you?" I blushed by his statement , but quickly answered him. "Perhaps? Maybe you can help me out? A bit?" I said while going through his hair , farming some awes and howls. "Mind if we have a small moment for ourselves after your lessons?" "As you wish~ My Blood God~" I answered while he quickly pressed his lips on mine. I can taste the bitterness of his coffee he had during his studies. 

"See ya later hm?" "See you." I smiled as he left the canteen. "Ooooooo , goosebumps boyssss!!!" Osiris yelled while the warriors started yelling and cheering , I giggled by their reaction while my mind was wondering where and what will Agrona do to me after this....

Right now I was grinding with one of the books that I borrowed from Agrona's office in our shared chamber while I was rubbing my neck from.... ya know.... The 'small moment'?. Her highness- I mean , Iyuna entered which freaked me out a bit , cause last time she was like...'Break and Enter'? Or was that when I have decided to change the door lock?.... Never mind , I quickly greeted her.

"I-Iyuna! What brings you here?" "Oh of course you , darling. Agrona never need me to be worry , but he did ask me to keep an extra eye on his beloved one." She smiled while she sat next to me on the bed , checking on what am I reading. "Oh , the classic romance book? I don't know that you're into romance." "Oh , there's nothing interesting in Agrona's office except for this. He let me have it anyway." I answered her highness while proceed my reading. "So.....," I looked at her highness while reaching out to a maple leaf bookmark on the side table ,

"How's the pull-out?" I immediately fell onto the ground , without any hesitation. "P-P-Pardon?" The room gone silent by the second by a second until she uttered ,"The bed." I was immediately froze by her words. She knows? Does she knows? Does she actually knows about it?

"Your moans were so loud , I can hear you while my Bergy doesn't." "Your highness!" I pulled the 's' as she giggled. I felt embarrassing by now cause her highness , Queen Iyuna herself heard our i*********e! What the heck!? Please not everyone heard that! "But apparently , you seem to enjoy the moment a lot. Especially yourself who's a 17 years old girl." "I-I mean , t-t-tomorrow's my birthday.... So , I-I don't see the issue?" I gave an awkward smile while she gave a bear hug , mumbled "Aww , are you that wiling to get married to Agrona?" "I mean , yeah... He's quite my type." 

"Wait , why are you rubbing your neck?" She asked while moved my hand on my neck , noticed my marks. I chuckled awkwardly but quickly looked away , avoiding her face of awes. "Why look away , darling? There's nothing to be shy about." "There is , Iyuna! This wasn't the first time , alright? First Nashira and Mihaka , then the guards , now you. Ugh...."

"Oh I thought I'm the first , what a shame. I was going to flex it to Bergy." I looked at her with a lame face , only responded with a laugh and a hook by the neck , "Cheer up. It's quite a norm , especially to those who were going to be engaged." My face was flustered as she soon dragged me to the dining room for dinner.

The atmosphere at the dining room was nothing but peace until....

"So....Agrona..," King Bergstrom uttered , 'Please don't , please...'

"When's my grandchild coming?" "F-F-FATHER!"
