his love for me

ch15 : The arena

I didn't know when i slept but when i woke up Jayce's sister was with me."i made you a breakfast of your choice",she tried to smile while saying this but that smile was one hundred percent fake.How do i know this?Well,i used to smile in my pain so i know when someone else is doing same.She gave me orange jam with bread and coffee.It was my favorite jam but how that mr.idiot knows this.I ate my breakfast but anna was fidgeting in her chair all the time.

After breakfast she gave me a dress which was of light green color.It was a silk like fabric and ended just at my ankles and gave me a French hat type thing.For a moment i thought that i was going to Milan.Because elites usually go Milan in this attire.We got in that elevator type thing but this time it reached a different destination and i was astounded by what i saw.Jayce was talking to someone.Well ,he can talk,his talk doesn't and couldn't shock me now.This time it was his dress.He was wearing an armour similar to gladiators.I could see his back only but i knew it was him.I was checking him out and i was so mesmarized by his dress that i didn't know when did he come closer.I realized it when he removed my hat and touched my hair just above my ear.It was such a nice gesture but his smirk.....what?was he thinking that i had been checking him out?I just liked his dress, nothing more.I wanted to meet you before the fight,he said and held hands and kissed each.fight?what is he talking about,i thought.He left me there and went away.Anna guided me out that room and man ,my eyes were wide like saucers.I was standing in stairs of an arena.She motioned me to move upstairs but i was looking at arena.Sheldon was fighting with some ostrich like thing but this bird's face was more big and its wings were more sharp.Bird was in pain because there were cuts on its body.That bird tried to attack Sheldon with the knife like edges of wings but Sheldon dodged those and within a second he jumped and rode on bird's back.The whole crowd cheered and this sound was unbearable.They were cheering,shouting and raising slogans like "king sheldon will will".Anna held me hand and started pushing me through crowd.We went upstairs and there were a few empty seats.We sat there.I asked her what was going on?They are so advance in technology then why this arena.She told me it is a tradition here that all candidates fight in this arena since last 100 years.Suddenly a loud voice came and all became silent,"So here we have Prince Jayce who will fight with a Mugaabi" and a gate opened.He was standing here with all his glory.The light yellow sunshine was making his skin more refined.He took a few steps and the crowd went crazy for him.There were slogans and different voices but now these voices weren't noise for me anymore.It was like those were low humming sounds because my all senses were focused on my husband's mascularity.
