---- His hand rested lightly on her shoulder, too familiar, too commanding, and she...

she just stood there.

No recoil, no fight.

Nothing.

My chest heaved, each breath like shards of ice slicing through my ribs as the truth clawed its way into my mind.

She wasn't fighting him.

She allowed him I wanted to first punish her for letting another man touch her, for not fighting when she bloody slapped me for touching her without her permission.

But then those red eyes flicker in my mind.

This is not my princess.

She couldn't be her! Zariyan would have killed this man by now! The mask she wore was a cruel mockery, hiding the ---- face that haunted me every waking moment.

And I couldn't help wonder if all of this was a set plan.

Why did they put on the Robin mask on her, when they it is Zariyan It didn't made sense.

Unless the man spoke.

Won't you like them to know you real face, little one? He reached for it, his fingers brush along the edges of the mask with an infuriating tenderness, like he bloody had every right to touch her.

And I broke out in a cold sweat.

Zariyan would never want this.

Her hidden identity, Robin hood, was her only hope in life.

The very purpose of her existence.

She would never want anyone to know about it.

"Dont! You fucking bastard," I growled, the word ripped from my throat like a warning shot.

But the ---- glass made my voice little more than a whisper.

He didnt even flinch.

He didn't even look at me: With a deliberate slowness, he removed the mask, and the world seemed to hold its breath.

No, fuck! The others gasped, their disbelief filling the air like smoke.

Lucas staggered back, his eyes wide in shock as if he couldn't believe this while Jason cursed under his breath.

Lilly's hands flew to her mouth in silent shock.

But I? I couldn't move Zariyan.

No one had known.

Not Lucas, not Jason, not even Lilly.

They only knew her as Robin, the man we had all fought beside, ---- eee = laughed with, trusted No one thought in their wildest dreams that Robin was a woman.

And not just any woman.

She was the daughter of the King.

The Princess.

My Princess.

Prin-Princess Zariyan? Robin was actually her? Summer asks, looking at me and I barely nod.

Avoiding his eyes.

You knew....

you knew it all along yet you never- Lucas whispers, looking up at me in disbelief and I cut him in, staring back at him.My voice cold and emotionless.noveldrama

Tt was her choice.

Her decision and I merely respected it.

A hundred emotions swirl in Lucass eyes and then he drops his head, giving up on this.
