CHAPTER FIFTY SIX
The guards and maids stood away from them but still made sure they were conscious of every movement.
As much as she h@tëd to think about King Wright, all she could think about were the words he whispered in her head as he guided her through their journey.
She held onto Beiber as she resisted the urge to mind link him.
Why did he seem perfect then but now he acts like a total jerk.
Leaving her with unfamiliar people and walking away before she could even wake up.
She h@tëd how angry she felt about it.

I tried to listen attentively to Mr Evenius as he spoke to me about the barrier at the border.
He already knew about what happened to Saraphina and he wouldn’t stop praising me.
Apparently, the whole village knows already, turns out a witch named Maya and the other witches watched what happened through their witch mirror or wh@tëver they call it.
Words has already spread, everyone knows about it including the once that chose to exaggerate.
Turns out I’m a celebrity on arrival.
Did you hear that Beiber? I almost screamed in my head but I restrained myself.
I don’t know who would be talking to, a mere cat or the person I thought I have always talked to.
He says everyone wants to meet me, while I was sulking about being abandoned, the villagers camped outside the huge palace which he described to be a lot of walk from where we stood.
He chased them away? I asked and he smiled.
My grip on Beiber tightened a little but I let go when I heard him meow.
Let me guess, you are going to tell me “He’s not that cruel” I spoke peering into his face.
Alright… You got me but he really isn’t cruel, you just haven’t gotten so close to him, he spoke with another smile.
How would I do that when he keeps running away? Do I have some kimd of disease, or is it also how things are run here?
He stopped walking and faced me.
He looked at me like he was studying my face then he stepped back a little.
Some people just have a very weird way of expressing how they feel, My Queen.
You might say you like the rain but then when it rains unexpectedly and you get drenched, you tend to catch a cold then you curse at the same rain you love for probably getting you confined in bed, he said.
I stared back at him.
What does that Mean? I asked.
The rain could care about you so much and choose not to fall which is totally unlikely because it has to rain in rainy season, he added instead of explaining.
I stood still staring at him as I repeated the words he used..
Would you still curse at the rain if you were to find out that it withheld its blessings because it’s blessings made you sick? he asked with the same smile he has had on since yesterday.
I.. I don’t understand, I stuttered.
I don’t expect you to, ponder over it, My Queen, you definitely will get it someday,he said as he folded his two hands behind him and started walking again.
But… I was saying when he cut me off.
That’s the stable, he said pointing at a huge house in the far distance.
It looks like a castle.
Who lives there? I asked with my palm over my forehead.
That’s the stable, he said again.
Wow… You mean the stable in near the castle? I asked with a wide smile.
I love horses.
But I’ve only had the chance to ride them while on movie set for a role in the last movie I casted in.
I wondered if the movie generated much attention like we hoped.
I probably might never get the chance to see it, I wish I had time, I would have watched it before I left.
But how would I have achieved that anyway, it dropped while we were busy with the talking paintings.
I was almost drifting away from the discussion when his word brought me back to reality.
That castle belongs to our white horse, he lives there alone, I heard him say.
What?! I exclaimed with wide eyes.
Mr Evenius looked around us slowly then back st me with a smile.
I looked around too and saw the guards and maids looking away.
Gosh.. did I scare them?
How won’t I scare them when I just heard the weirdest thing ever.
A mere horse living in a castle… a huge castle?! How?! I screamed in my head.
I’m sure every of my thoughts were expressed on my face.
How?! I whispered loudly.
I’ve been whispering so much since I got here.
Everyone asks the same question,I guess you might actually get the answer yourself this time, he replied still looking at the castle with a smile.
How would I know that if you don’t, I asked with a chuckle.
You can ask him, he whispered.
Ask who? That @$$hOle? I whispered back and he smiled.
Can we go in there? I asked when he turned and took a different route.
No one else is allowed in there, he replied walking away.
Except? I asked.
His Majesty,he replied walking faster.
I had to chase after him, hugging Beiber to myself.
But why?
Is there something in there?
Who feeds and nurses the horse then? I asked at the same time as I tried to catch up with him.
His Majesty does all that, He’s the only one allowed to go close to him.
Is he that important… or… is he sacred? Like a god? I whispered.
That I do not know but we all assume alot of things, you know.. but I can only tell you one thing…..
He’s sacred.
Don’t try to pry, it won’t turn out well for you, he said in the nicest tone but i felt like I just got warned, strictly.
Ah… I see, I replied walking faster.
Like I was trying to run far away from his sacred castle.
I already feel cold shivers running down my spine, I do not know why.
But…. how old is he? Is he big? I asked once I was sure the castle was no longer in sight.
No one knows…. Some assume he might be as old as the kingdom itself.
What do you think? he asked but I was in a daze..
Is that even possible?
How old is a Kingdom with people who live longer than mere humans?
If grandma was 777yrs old when she died, then how old would the Kingdom be?
And how old is this sacred horse?
My Queen? Mr Evenius called and I turned like a robot.
Do I need to be pinched? i wondered tapping my cheek.
Are you alright, My Queen? he asked peering into my face with that smile.
Ye…. yes?
Yes! I’m… alright, my voice already hoarse.
Was the Kingdom named after the white horse then?
But how is a horse still alive?
You look tired, let’s head back, My Queen, he said and I nodded quickly.
Sure, I replied joining him as we began the long journey back to where we came from.
This palace is as big as a whole village, my feet already hurts.

They both walked side by side as Evenius told her funny things this time around.
She looked too shocked so he had to lighten the mood.
His heart gladdened as he heard her laugh heartily to his jokes.
He was making descriptions and demonstrating with his hands when he saw something shocking.
It was the White Horse racing to his castle with an unconscious King Wright behind him, again, his head dangling without control.
His words hung on his throat as he stared at them not knowing what to do.
Are you okay? Zelda asked seeing that he stopped talking.
She raised her head, away from Beiber who already slept off on her arms but he pulled her hands dragging her along.
I’m sorry My Queen, he muttered still pulling her spare hand.
Is everything alright? she asked following him
.

Something came up, My Queen, I’m sorry… I behaved quite irrational, I shouldn’t have pulled you away like that, get apologized when they got far away from the castle.
Its fine Sir, I will take care of myself from here, she replied with a smile as she pulled her hand away slowly then concentrated on the sleeping Beiber.
Evenius bowed then stood behind as she walked away while humming a song in Beiber ears as she caressed his furs.
The sad look on his face could not be hidden.
If only she knew, he thought with tears in his eyes.
