---- back from me in fear.

Reb looks at me in disappointment and motions for me to follow her.

She was gone.

And soon the people returned to drinking and dancing.

A few minutes later 1 gulp another glass and beeline after her.

Reaching the balcony I push open the door and she was standing there at the railing What was that Xav? She demands looking exasperated.

You know I am doing all of this for you.

Right? Being powerful isnt enough.

You have to learn to hold it.

Master it.

Power is a very powerful weapon which if not wielded properly can be taken away from you.

Your people are your everything.

T organised this party for them to enjoy.

For you to mingle with them.

Keeping them happy should be your first priority.

---- ee = They treat you as your God yet what do you do? She sighs as I ignore her and look down at the widespread gardens.

"Tam not saying they dont love you.

Its just that after you saved her and Dom going against the council.noveldrama

I got news that they dont follow your orders blindly.

Aliances have been formed to overthrow you.

They no longer blindly trust you.

My grip on the railing tightens as I look at her.

You have changed Reb.

Her sparkling green eyes flicker for a second.

Her hand resting on my shoulder drops.

I hate to say this but I have no regard when I speak the truth.

Her keen interest in politics, in administration and how I rule.

Are some really nerving hobbies she has recently cultivated.

Hobbies I am starting to detest.

What- what do you mean? ---- Chapter 124 What- what do you mean? Since when did you care so much about the kingdom.

Power.

You liked following me even when I jumped down a cliff.

But now it seems you have found your own way.

Tts..

Its not like that Xav baby.

I am just concerned- And what were you doing hearing that man talk shit about Sierra.

Do you realise that she has given away her life for you.

Sierra.

Sierra.

Sierra! You know what I do realize what she did.

And I will forever be indebted to her.

But what can I do if she is not with us.

It was her choice.

She decided to revive me...

I didn't say her to do it.

Tf you are so unhappy with me being back.

It would have been better if [ had not been revived.

---- eee = This is not what I mean Reb.

Of course I am happy.

She cradles my face in her palms and looks at me with those teary eyes Then please can we live in the present? Please stop loathing yourself for things you didn't do.

Tt is not your fault she is not with us.

Please.

She chose it.

Not your fault.

I was frustrated.

Caught in a trap where I don't know what to do.

How to feel.

Look at me Xav.

I am here.

Right beside you.

Why don't you value the things that you have with you.

Tlove you so much Xav...

so much.

Before I could understand, her lips crash on me.

And while I was trying to convince myself that she was right.

That everything was fine....

Nothing felt right.

This kiss...

her lips on mine.
