20 A purple headed girl is also fine

A new day began . Ashia returned back from his mission Zen asked him to do . Zenia walked out of her room as her security guards carried her luggage following her . She was finely dressed . Her blonde hair curls fell on her shoulders . Eyes sparkled . She knew she was leaving half heartedly. As she walked down the stairs Zen waited her standing right in the middle of tge bright red carpet on the floor to see her off . She stepped down from the last stair and smiled sheepishly .

"You sure you have to go ?"

"Yes of course . I wouldn't if Mama wasn't ill.  She wants me to  be beside her and Riyo is still a child ."

"I understand.  Take care of yourself and of Aunt's health as well . Keep coming . " 

"Sure . " She smiled . "I think I must leave , it's better to avoid the nightfall on a journey "

"Yes  " He raised his hand and one of the servants brought some gifts Zen arranged to be sent along with her to Abhara . Alisha stood on the other side of the hall dressed in floral magenta pink gown . A diamond bracelet shining in her right hand . She was looking gorgeous . She was baffled in thoughts as she didn't understand what to speak with departing Zenia . 

"Alisha you won't bid Zenia farewell ? " She gulped down saliva in tension . His commanding voice brought goosebumps on her skin .

"I ...I will certainly . " She walked upto her . " See you soon Zenia . It was short but I had an amazing time with you "

"Haha ... are you sure ? I just gave you more trouble and nothing else !"

"Eh ? It's not quite that way .... I really do respect you Zenia . "

"I know . You have taught me something I never learnt all through my life . I'm sorry for not accepting you but I don't think anyone would have been better than you for Zen so take good care of him alright ? Or else I'll never forgive you"

"I... I will . Don't worry about it " She says firmly and Zenia let's out a chuckle .

"I believe ya !"

"Forget it its the opposite way actually with the way she is I doubt she will take care of me instead I should be the one taking care of her " He sighs .

"Haan ! That's so  mean ! What do you mean with the way she is ? Elaborate ..." Alisha furrowed her brows folding folding her brow arms.

"Alright you two can fight about it later . I have to leave . Thanks for everything . It was a nice break for me from my usual schedule . Tell Erwin I said Hi if he happens to come any  time soon  ."

"Sure will do . " Zen assures . Zenia left as she very well knew that if she stayed facing them any longer she would burst up in tears . Zen's cloak fluttered as he stood with Alisha at the palace entrance .

"Well better get back to my work now " He says turning behind but Alisha blocks his way .

"Not before you explain yourself "

"What ? Don't waste my time I have better work to do "

"I knew it you would change back to your usual self so all that talk last night  was just a drama ?"

"Probably ! You must never trust anyone you know . Glad you learnt your lesson now let me go . " He says frustratingly .

"What the ? What do I mean to you then ? "

"I don't know . I can leave you and find plenty of other girls you know any purple headed girl is also fine . It's not that big of a deal for me " He moves poking her forehead .

"That's surprisingly sad . It's such an awful thing to do amd strange coming from a person who abolished stuff he seems inappropriate " A strong voice was heard behind Zen and Alisha .
