Growl For Your Soul

Chapter 15

Zinnex's POV

"You said what?, " I questioned him , "You're leaving?"  

He chuckled as he stood up from his chair , looked at me , "What's the matter? Already missed me?" "What- Pfft , I'm not! Besides , I can protect myself from any invasion." I said with a chuckle on my face. He chuckled as he walked to the window , facing the forest. "I will be heading to Pandlings for 3 weeks. Anything you want?" "Pandlings?" As I asked that question , Agrona gone in front of me , pinched my cheeks. 

"Nya! Ny-Nya!" "The hybrids of the pandas in the great east , dummy." 

Great East? Of the World Map?

That's quite a distance from here though....

I probably could only possibly hope him to be safe on his journey due to the lessons...

No , wait! Why am I being worry for that jellyjerk?!

"Hey , mate of mine. Wake up already. I was asking you a question." "H-Huh?" I looked at him innocently , "Ah! I heard they have bamboo bracelets. Kind to bring one for me?" He looked at me with a smile as he patted me on the head. "Anything for you , my maiden." he said as he tossed me out of his office.

My eyes slowly blinked as I just realized something.

He's...about to leave!?

I wondered myself in the garden , with some peace for my mind and flowers. I was clearly distracted by some newly blossomed Daisies and lilies. '*sigh* Don't know if father was already wake?' I thought as I touched the middle spot of the daisy. By a quick second , my finger was wrapped with pain as I quickly moved by involuntary actions. "Argh... What in the.." 

"Zinnex!" I turned and found Agrona who rushed to me and held my finger in his palm. "Are you alright?!" "You think? I was stung by a stupid bee." I joked around. "Seriously , if you kept on hurting , there's a possibility that I wouldn't go myself to Pandlings." "You are seriously joking , I can han-"

Did he just....

Yes..... Light bulb....

"You sure you can handle me in my bull mode?" Osiris asked me in the training field. I held my sword tight in my grasp , "Yes. I believe my strength was strong enough to defeat you , Osiris." I said confidently. 'If this was the only way...' Then , I noticed a red cloth swinging behind my back , "Hey ,, what's with the distracti-" As I turned , Osiris had already charged to me with his sword and red eyes. I quickly dodged away from every single attack of his as I pulled out my sword and attack back.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

I was soon cornered to a wall as Osiris continued the attack. "What's this- Zinnex!" I turned to my left , distracted by Agrona who just yelled out my name. And by the quick second , Osiris yelled , "Just die already!" I gasped by what I was about to face , as a huge pain swirled around my arm. 

"Gah!" "Zinnex!" Agrona rushed to me with his hand held onto my injured arm. "Osiris! What have you done?!" "I-I-" Before Osiris explain himself , Agrona continue yelling at his friend , "Do you have any idea what had you done?! You hurt her! And why in the world would you get yourself into the bull state?!" I can't bear to see this , I can't bear to see their friendship to be destroy because by me....

"Agrona..." 

"DIDN'T I TOLD YOU NOT TO ACTIVATE IT ESPECIALLY ON HER?!"

"Agrona."

"YOU HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY WARNED , OSIRIS! ONE MORE TIME , I WILL SURE THAT YOU WILL BE EXCUSE AND WE COULD'VE EVEN STOP BEING-"

"Agrona!"

Finally , he had heard my calls. "Zinnex?" "I'm the one... I'm the one who's responsible with all of this... I'm the one who made Osiris enter the bull mode! I'm the one who made him injured myself! I'm the one who's being so stupid to choose this idea to let you stay but never thought about your friendship between!" I yelled as I found Agrona's face only darkened as he left me alone.

'Lady Zinnex..." "I-I'm fine , Osiris. I deserve the cold responds from him anyways." I said while wiped my tears away and left the training field. After I walked a dark corner of the garden , I immediately hit my back hardly onto the wall as I begun to sob. I have no clue for the reason I cried , I just....

Don't Know....

"Zinnex Langford?"

I looked up and found....

"Haha!" "It's not funny , Iyuna!" I yelled at Iyuna who's laughing my confessed worries and my face was non-stop being red like beetroot. "Oh my...you had the exact same situation as me when I was just a maiden to King Bergstrom." "Eh?!" I was shocked by what her highness just said.

"Instead like what you did , I got myself into Chyenas and Bergy was like furious. He then stopped talking to me like 3 weeks." "Ah?! but then....how you bring back the relationship?" "Well.... The time was rough back then. Till , he tried to avoid the talk-active me and bang himself into the wall."

Eh-

"After the 1 week take care , he asked for forgiveness and I simply accept it." "Simply?! What do you mean simply , Iyuna?!" "Oh please , that was like the fifth time we had something like that." Iyuna said as she laughed.

So....it's a norm to them...

"But you.... , "I gulped and hold my breath as she suddenly be serious , "You had experienced this much more earlier than me , not to mention you're only 17..." "W-Was this not a norm?" "No..." Iyuna stood up as she sat next to me and held me by the shoulder. "Zinnex..."

"AHAHAH , IT'S SO ADORABLE THAT YOU TRIED TO LET AGRY STAY WITH YOUUUUU!!!!!!"

Typical as always , your highness....

"But honestly , you can just ask him to bring you with him. Or...should I do it for you?" Iyuna said after finally stopped shaking me and a smirk grew upon her face. My face was suddenly heated as I swung my hands ,  "N-No , I don't think I should make that decision! I might be a burden to him.." She huffed as she squished my cheeks. 

"Listen , my daughter-in-law , Agrona was a dunce in love. If possible , you're his first love. You have made it to be a maiden while knight stage , which means there was a huge possibility that he could take you out to explore with him. So , that means there's possibility  that you two might discover more about the two of you." 

"But I don't know how will he think about it... He was still angry of me though..." "If you believe the sentence 'Like Father , Like Son' , then get the courage that you used to debate with Bergy to talk to my son." She said with spark in her eyes.

Agrona's POV

"Achoo!" Ugh  , this was the fifth time... Mother must be talking about me...

"Prince Agrona , are you alright?" I nodded as respond while the guard continue talking about the journey to Pandlings as soon as Zinnex barged in and kicked the guard down into his face on the ground. "Zinnex! What's the meaning of th-" 

"Take me with you!"

H-Huh?

I was a bit shocked by her sentence.

"Wh-" "Listen , I know it sound stupid but I want to go with you! It's not because that you're involve in the list. It's because I want to see the world outside of Paiogs AND Lionards! , " She yelled at me , 

"Zinnex.."

"I know you will not take me with you , but I don't care if you made that choice! I'm know that I'm stupid enough to choose that way let you stay on Paiogs , okay?! I'm not some small heart Aniture! So , just take me with you , please!" She yelled as she panted for saying all of that in one breath. I looked at the wound that was wrapped up messily.

I walked to her as I grabbed her by the arm. and she hissed by the action. "W-Watch it!" "Oh please , I couldn't let the other nation see me treat a lady like this , right?" "H-Huh? Wait , are you-" "Hey , you there," I asked the guard , "Was it possible if we let out a extra space in the journey for this maiden?" "But , the chamber , sir-" 

"She can share with me." "T-Then , it's definitely possible to happen." "Good. We should be getting ready right?" I pulled my maiden closer but not touching her wound, "Y-Yes!" She said with the brightest smile.

Iyuna's POV

"Why was she with him? I thought Agrona was going alone." I looked at my husband who's looking to the harbor , "Who are you talking about Dar-" I walked to the window and found Zinnex who's at the harbor with a case next to her feet. 

"Oh , she.." "She was a burden to Agrona's future. I just have no clue why he choose her?" I looked at my furious husband with his eyebrows narrowed , revealing more wrinkles on his face. "It sounds like someone who once called me one , and propose to me by the very same day." I leaned close to him as I placed a soft caress on his cheeks. Watching him growled and blushed by my action , I giggled as I went to tell my goodbyes to Zinnex.

Nashira's POV

"Gee , Mihi , It's just a 3 week trip at Pandlings , you don't have be dehydrate." Zinnex said while Mihi sobbed. "Gee , Mihi , you have been crying for quite some time already." "I'm not crying ," Mihi said while wiped her tears away with her sleeve ,"My eyes were just exercising." 

"Looking good in my old dresses , Zinnex." I turned with my fan covering my face , as I bowed after the Queen. "Thanks, Agrona chose it for me ," Zinnex said while spun around , making her white dress floated and reveal the pair of black flat shoes. "Mother , what are you doing here?" "Saying goodbye to my favorite daughter-in-law and son. Got an issue?" "I-I- , definitely no mother!" Agrona said while held Zinnex in her arms.

"Nya....Zinny...." Mihi sobbed once again as the ship sailed away from the harbor. "Let the ship sail," I turned to the Queen who had a smirk upon her face ,"this should be fun."

"Oh.... I had understand your words..... Queen Iyuna..." I smirked behind my fan as I watched the ship away.

"Geez , Mihaka! Stop the sobbing already!" "I'm not sobbing..."
