DANGEROUS ROMANCE - EPISODE 22

Anastasia paused and a small frown formed on her face.

“And where am going is really important, the empire masters are going along with me”Lord zakai said and anastasia sighed, she knew if she begged lord zakai to not leave, he wouldn’t listen to her.

“But…..
“No buts anastasia, go to your room and sleep”Lord zakai said sternly,

“back to being stern again huh?”Anastasia thought inwardly, there was no way she would let lord zakai go like that and stay for 2 torturous weeks.

Not now!
Not now she has found out that she has fallen for him, not now that she has grown so attached to both his cold and his warm side.

“Okay”Anastasia finally gave in and walked towards the door but immediately she grabbed the door knob, she turned.

“When are you leaving?”Anastasia asked.
“Tomorrow”Lord zakai said gruffly while unbuttoning his shirt making anastasia to twist the door knob and run out of the room as fast as she could.

Because she knew that if she stayed there even for some seconds when he is removing his shirt then she might loose it.

She ran to her room with a sad and moody expression on her face, she knew why she was like that but she had already made up her mind, she wouldn’t stop him but she must follow him too.

But she doesn’t know how to tame him so that he would allow her to leave with him.

“My princess, what are you thinking about?”Naidu said as she appeared suddenly into the room.

“Nothing actually, just….”Anastasia trailed off while staring at her palms, she suddenly wished that she wasn’t a human…to be so weak, she wished that she had even if it was the most little power.

“You know, you don’t have to be so hard on yourself, there might be a reason that you don’t have powers at all….your a complete human and sometimes human do have special abilities, just need to find them”Naidu said with an excited twinkle in her eyes.

“Thanks, you really helped with your words but you must have heard that lord zakai is going to an unknown place with the empire masters as well, do you know where they are going?”Anastasia said and naidu nodded.

“I have heard and i don’t know about where they are going but dax will know because he is going with them”Naidu said with her usual small bubbly voice.

“Okay, i will quickly ask dax”Anastasia said standing up but quickly froze when she heard naidu’s voice.

“Your planning or thinking of following lord zakai without his concent right?”Naidu asked and anastasia bit her lower lip knowing she had been caught, she almost forgot that everyone in the qin empire can read mind.

“Hahahaha….what are you saying naidu?… [clears throat], i don’t know what your talking about”Anastasia laughed nervously to get rid of the awkwardness and to also cover her lies well.

However, she knew she had already been caught because she wasn’t a good lyer, she sucked at lying.

“The empire masters wouldn’t be pleased to see you there”Naidu said

“Miss Anastasia, you can’t lie to me but if you want to follow lord zakai that badly then i shall help you”Naidu added and anastasia’s once gloomy, dull and sad eyes glowed in hope.

“But i would use my powers, i would make you look less girly then when your a little manly, i will dress you as a guy and cut your hair as well….do you still want to…..

“I will…i want to follow him”Anastasia cut her off and naidu nodded.

“Dax, erica and other people in the empire, including the empire masters might not be able to recognize you but is 95.5% possibility that lord zakai might be able to recognize you”Naidu said.

“Am not scared of death itself”Anastasia said, it wasn’t like she wasn’t scared of death or something but that was a little slogan she do tell the sellers who she stole from anytime they caught her.

But this anastasia sitting next to naidu right now was really scared of death, she had died once or so she thought but she really don’t wanted to die again especially, when is in the hands of those cruel empire masters.

If it was the first time she came to the qin empire, she could have added lord zakai to the people (empire masters) that she didn’t wanted to die in their hands but now……

She was very certain that lord zakai wouldn’t hurt her but would rather protect her.

“Okay, tomorrow by 06:00am, i will be here”Naidu said.

“But what about erica, wouldn’t she find out that i have disappeared since she is not going with them”Anastasia said, suddenly remembering erica.

“Don’t worry, erica know about this too”Naidu winked.

“Okay, i will take my leave then since you look tired, good night miss anastasia and sweet dreams”Naidu said and disappeared again before anastasia could open her mouth and speak.

“Hmph”Anastasia hummed and laid on her bed hugging her pillow, she couldn’t help but think about how her life as a boy in 2 weeks be.

With that thought in her mind, she fell asleep.

NEXT_DAY

“Miss anastasia, wake up, they are almost leaving!!!”Naidu yelled shaking the sleeping anastasia who woke up and didn’t think twice before standing up after hearing naidu’s reminder.

She ran to the bathroom and freshen up quickly, she could swear that it was the shortest bath she had ever had in her life.

When she was done bathing, she sat down on her make up stool and naidu ordered her to close her eyes which she did immediately.

Naidu placed her hands on anastasia’s eyes and recited some asient spell before waving her hands on anastasia’s face still reciting the same spell.

“Open your eyes”Naidu said, her small hands shaking a little.

Anastasia opened her eyes only to gasp, her once white blonde hair had turned black, her once brownish black eyes had turned blue, her hair had turned short stopping at her neck.

She didn’t look guyly, she still looked girly but no one would suspect at all except from some powerful people.

Suddenly, erica barged in before closing the door with her foot.

“Miss anastasia, there is no time!”Erica yelled as she removed her towel making anastasia to gasp in shock, she really wanted to hide.

“No need to be so shy, is big”Naidu said, she wasn’t joking at all.

Erica grabbed a long and hard material before using it to cover her twin peaks, she continued to do so but her n**ples were still visible and the curves.

“Naidu i think your right”Erica shook her head but thankfully, after some minutes, it was done through the use of a little magic, then she made anastasia wear a big shirt and trouser.

“Is uncomfortable”Anastasia said as the pain in her chest worsened, she needed to breathe.

“Eat okay, i don’t want you pass out”Erica said rolling a cart into the room.

As anastasia sat down to eat, naidu who just flew out, flew in.

“They are leaving, hurry!”

Anastasia stood up and grabbed the sword erica gave to her before running to catch up with them.

She actually wore some gears and boots in sync with what the empire guards were wearing so she wasn’t questioned who she was or something.

*******

Anastasia sat on the floor with the other guards as they ship began to move.

“Hey, are you new?,what’s your name?”A guard who had a bright smile on his face said, he was a guard too.

“Uhmmm…i am….ehh…fred..yes, fred”Anastasia said and he smiled.

“Am nathan, can we be friends?”Nathan said but immediately she wanted to reply, cold and dangerous shivers run down her spine.

She turned to see lord zakai looking at them, he was sitting on a chair made of gold and for kings only.

He glared dangerously at nathan who sivered in fear and bowed before running towards his other friends.

Anastasia’s eyes widened when his gaze roamed around her body, from her face to her chest then her legs.

A huge frown formed on his face.
“Who are you looking so intently at?”Lord axel’s face popped in from the door.

And upon hearing his voice, anastasia quickly looked away.

But anastasia knew one thing and she didn’t need anyone to tell her that lord zakai knew that it was her.

Suddenly, a sexy and perfect familiar voice spoke in her head.

“YOU DARED TO GO FOLLOW ME HUH?,I CAN’T WAIT TO PUNISH YOU AND ALSO TEACH YOUR ACCOMPLICE A LESSON”
