Would have enjoyed more with you Neil

"It's my job to make things easier if they are difficult " Alisha held her hand and gave an assuring smile . Next day it was time for Zen and Alisha to leave . Leaving a teary eyed Hana the couple leave . Alvyn thanks Zen for visiting his family and Zen leaves without replying . Sitting inside the chariot Alisha keeps thinking of ways to help Alvyn and convince Zen .

"You are awfully silent today ? Are you unwell ?" Zen said looking at Alisha who was turned towards the window .

"Even if I speak it's not like you listen to me "

"Why are you sulking ? Is it because I left you sleep on the floor ?"

"I won't sulk over such a thing ."

"Then what's the matter "

"I came to know about Alvyn . " Zen widened his eyes in surprise.

"What ? Who told you ?"

"Now does it even matter ? Zen I'm going to marry you and there are just far too many things you don't tell me . Sometimes I feel you don't consider me as your equal I mean I want to know about you ! Your family ! Why is that you don't allow me to know about your family ? Am I still a stranger to you ? "

"Gah.... My bad I wish you just remained silent "

"It's not fair Zen.  Alvyn should ..."

"It's because you are going to be my wife I want you to do as I please understand ? " Zen frowned . Alisha decided to shut her mouth and turned towards the window . Within hours they reached the palace .

"Welcome Your Majesty ! My lady ! I hope your journey was enjoyable " Neil stood before them on the main door.

"I would have enjoyed it more with you Neil " Alisha rolled her eyes and went to her room. Zen sighed and moved to his quarters .

"Huh. ... Sometimes I wonder if they are really going to marry each other . I'M so worried for them " Neil whispered softly under his breath . Next day morning Alisha could heat disturbing voices outside her room. She went to check and bumped into Zen who still had a scary look on his face .

"Zen... Where are you going ? And what's this chaos all about ?"

"I'm in a hurry I have a meeting to attend " Zen marched ahead .

"But... What about my classes Neil ? What's this sudden meeting about ? Why is Zen so serious not like he knows to smile or something "

"My lady I won't be conducting your classes today . The meeting is about Erwin . We are going to decide his case with the jury he may be sentenced to death for his deeds ."

"Wait what ? Why ? "

"That's his Majesty's decision . Nobody has a say in this ma'am . "

"No wait ... It can't be . I have to speak to Zen . " Saying that she headed towards the courtroom while Neil followed her . It would only infuriate Zen . The door creaks and Alisha steps in the main hall. She could spot Erwin at one corner and a table of Important people , judges and Zen on his seat . The atmosphere was quiet and heavy . Erwin stood with shackles binding his hands. He looked pale and his hair had turned grey , think beard and lifeless eyes. He wasn't the same Erwin Alisha first met . Zen straightened his glasses and looked at her . Everyone murmured seeing Alisha as women weren't allowed in the courtroom .
