43 Chapter 42 (1/2)

* 6 Months later*

*Zaline's POV*

I finished gathering up our dresses, makeup bags, and everything I would need to get ready for today, and headed to Acadia's house.

I walked into her office to see her sitting at her desk, listening to Kelvin, Claudette, Remey, and Oscar. I looked into her eyes and it still took my breath away, her eyes stayed the same since the battle, one black and one golden, a mixture of who she truly is.

I then looked at my new fiance and was hit with a mixture of feelings, he was so handsome and soon to be all mine, he felt the same way. The battle made us admit our feelings for each other, and it surprised me he liked me as much as him, and now we already live together, taking every moment for granted.

”The north, south, and east are clear of all Merdique your majesty, we are working on getting the location of the leader in the west still, they are elusive” Remey told her. Oscar and he replaced two of the council member that died during the fight, and they were made co-leaders of her security teams.

”Thank you, I am glad most of the others came to us and passed our truth test, it is a shame they were forced to believe those lies about us. The others in the west should follow soon” Acadia responded. She then dismissed the conversation with them, and they bowed and headed out, telling me hey on the way out.

I took the opportunity to jump in before they could continue ”Shame on all of you, working on such a beautiful day” I joked with them.

Kelvin came and kissed me on the cheek ”Sorry dear” and looked at Acadia ”I will be outside waiting for your majesty” he told her and walked outside. Kelvin was her new personal bodyguard during the day, even though she didn't need one, I was delighted she chose him to keep him close to me.

”Here, I will take those and get it set up in the room” Claudette said as she came and took the bags out of my hand and went upstairs. After Claudette's confession about keeping Buford away from Acadia, she has changed a lot, she is nicer to everyone and jumps to help in any way possible.

”You know I just thought about something Zaline” Acadia piped up.

”What is that?” I smirked at her, she is and still will always be my best friend, no matter if she went evil for a while, she was still the amazing woman I have met a few years ago, just less naive.

”I had a vision the other day, but couldn't decipher it until I saw you walk in” She smiled at me, not another vision, they don't end up so well when she has them.
