Growl For Your Soul

Chapter 26

Zinnex's POV

"Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel!," Right now my mind was fuzzed with Soo's guitar strumming , the and thoughts that were dancing in my head on our journey back to Paiogs. They're just non-stop , making my anxiety increase as the I feel we're closer to Agrona. The air train as the Water Walkers called was swinging left and right , I was afraid for it to flip and flip into the sea.

'What if he kill me when we got back there? What will he use to kill me? With water and let me sunk down into the container? Or with those black long spear like weapons that's called 'guns'? What will happen to my corpse after then? Will my bones be cooked into soup while my meat will be roasted and serve to the royal family?' Thoughts flooded my head as I was then zapped by the arm.

I jumped and hissed as soon as i found it's Xin who touched me. I quickly stay calm as I questioned his action. "You doesn't seem to be a fine one? Are you alright?" "I-I-I'm! Yes , I am , when I wasn't?" "Since we started our journey? Or was it when I first mention Sir Agrona? Let me check." He said while pulled a long hard covered book and start flipping it.

"HAVE YOU BEEN WRITING ALL MY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ENTIRE TIME?!?!?!"

"I mean , the percentage of the need of therapy on you was much more than fortune. So , I should be concerned by the present instead of the future." He said like a lecturer , made me sighed by his wise like owl actions.

"Fine , you got me. I was quite nervous with what Agrona will do to me since I ran away without his permission. Maybe escort me back to my ex's kingdom , bringing the Langford's shame. Perhaps , he will cook me into meat soup and serve it to the royal family. Oh oh! Or maybe he could send me to the eighteenth floor of hell!" I yelled out my painful yet terrifying thoughts , that earned some eyes of some Water Walkers' written 'Should We Be Concerned?'.

"Zinnex , you have too much anxiety and negative thoughts. Prince Agrona was sure going to be joyous for the return of yours." He said while Soo came in with the letter earlier , sat behind Xin with his arms around Xin's neck. "How would he be mad at you? You're like a prized property to him , blessed by the mark. Unlike this jerk in front of me , he barely did a move." Soo joked while pinched him by the cheek.

"Darling , please , act a prince. His majesty was going to be unpleasant for your adorable yet childish behavior." "Come on , just say you love my behavior already." He said while.....let's just say that I went out and dismissed myself for their small session. I walked at the deck from the captain's room , stared at the exact position where Agrona caressed me and gave me the engaged necklace. I fiddled the pendant as I made my way passed across a room with barrels of grape wine.

My eyes sparkled...

Argona's POV

I was once busy on my paperwork that I missed from all that wondering of Zinnex lately. I was interrupted by Arkadius and a guard by the mean time I was getting a hang with my essay. I glared at them , making them stood still , gulped through their throat. 

"Who first?" "P-Prince Arkadius will announce his statement first perhaps?" I looked at Arkadius who quickly wiped away drops of sweat and asked me , "Brother , guess what I have heard?" I raised one of my eyebrow but quickly stood up of what he just spoke , 

"I have heard the Water Walkers were coming for a visit to Paiogs. Perhaps they....?"

Indeed , I wrote to them! Zinnex was with them!

I quickly stood up as I grabbed my brown coat by the side and tied my hair into a ponytail for the days of non-cutting. I looked at the guard who's standing there , asked "What do you need to inform me?" "Your highness , the Water Walkers' Air Train was going to reach the harbor. Queen Iyuna request if you can volunteer to welcome them?" 

'Already here? That's fast.' I thought while quickly walked out my office with my hair not fully tied and followed by Arkadius and the guard.

"Prince Agrona. What an honour to meet you." A Water Walker greeted me who appeared to be an advisor by his wise owl like outfit. I shook his hand and asked where's Zinnex. He mentioned she's in one of the rooms with the prince , but he also somehow mention that the prince was engaged so she will be fine. I let out a sigh of relief , as I walked into the ship to Zinnex's room.

"Zinnex? Zinnex Langford? Creepy cat girl who had different colour eyes?" I opened the door as I saw the prince was squatted on the ground , his face was close to her sleeping form. He jumped up and even flew in mid air a bit , denying what he thought I was thinking ,"I-I wasn't trying to kiss her! I WAS JUST TRYING TO-" "Prince Soo , what are you doing here?,"I turned and found the advisor who's coughed a bit by the door ,"Your behavior was ruining the reputation of the Water Walkers. C'mere , we had to prepare for the stay-off." "Aww , Xin. Can't I just watch an adorable scene of this two?" My face was gushed with heat as Advisor Xin dragged him out from the room , constant apologizing for the awkward statement from the prince.

I walked to Zinnex's sleeping figure , and tried to shake her awake. "Zinnex? Zinny? Kitty?" As i leaned down , I quickly sniffed a strong aroma of wine. 'Was she drunk? Why are there wine on this ship?' As I thought so , a loud scream came in my ears , "ALRIGHT THAT'S IT!!! WHICH CREW-MATE DRANK A BARREL OF GRAPE WINE THAT WAS A GIFT TO PAIOGS?!?!" Well , that explains it...

I carried Zinnex in bridal style as I carried her out from the ship , walking through hallways , glaring at maids or low-class peasant who's whispering instead of doing their to-do list , back to our shared bedroom. As I placed her on the bed , her arms that's around my neck was then tightened as she dragged me down to her face , staring into her half opened eyes , feeling her breath on my cheeks.

"A....Agrona?" "I'm here , Zinnex. I'm-" Before I could say anything , she pulled me downwards as she placed a soft caress on my lips and I quickly returned the caress. The caress was soon heated up as Zinnex slid her tongue into my mouth , feeling every corner in my mouth. As we parted , I can see how red was her face and how gorgeous was her eyes.

"Z-Zinnex? Are you-" Suddenly she got up from bed on knees as her lips was placed on my neck and she started licking my skin. My knees gone like jelly as I fell onto the bed and she laid on me , continue lick my skin. I gulped by her initiative and my voice even cracked a bit. "z-Zinnex..." "Little puppy like that , you can ask for more~" She said while traced her hand on my arm , grabbing my arm , placing on her thigh , making herself hype a bit more.

"A-Ah~ Agry~" I gulped as she sat on me like last time as I felt a figure on my pants. I was hoping to catch my breath from her initiative but she laid on me as she bite me on the ne- Wait- , did she just... My face was heated up as I sniffed my own blood dripping slowly from my first ever mark. "Do you know there's a better juice than my blood , Agrona?" I looked at her face who's blowing hot breath to me while my hand was glided up to her dress. 

"May I?" Before she show her submissive , I untied her dress as I pinned her onto the bed. "Do it , if you are my king." "Yes...," I said while tossed my coat and shirt to the side ,"...I would love to..." 

I uttered as I placed a caress on her lips......
