Chapter 28
“My target is the princess and I want you to get rid of her on the battle ground” Zaki said
Olivia smiled within
“How is that going to be possible? The Princess is 100 times good in combact than I am”
“You can do it” Zaki encouraged her
Olivia sensed something fishy. Is Zaki trying to get rid of her? They both knew how strong the Princess is. Even Zaki who was a good fighter can’t stand against her,how much more she who is just a minor.
She has watched the Princess trained for years. She stood no chance against her.
“Why don’t you do it instead Zaki? Besides you’ll be closer to her on the battlefield than I am” Olivia said
“Yeah but the King knows me. The warriors do too and if they see me attack the Princess,they might come after me and my plans will be spoiled”
“So I’m the one they should come after right?” She snapped and brought out her gun
“No. That’s not what I meant”
“Then what did you mean?” She walked towards him
“Nothing dear. Just put the gun down. I’ll ask someone else to do it. I thought you could do it cause you said you wanted revenge”
“I’ll get my revenge my own way. Understood?”
“Yes”
“Better” She put the gun away
“You really are short tempered”
“Glad you noticed” She said and walked away
Zaki stood there and ruffled his hair. The lady was smarter than he thought. He know he couldn’t kill her by himself so he has been looking for ways to get rid of her but she caught him. He’ll have to find another way of getting rid of Olivia

THE NEXT DAY
ZULU KINGDOM
Jaden was in his room getting some things done. He was planning on going to school in the afternoon since that’s when Elena would be coming too.
His elder brother Prince Marcus entered the room
“Can’t you knock?” He asked
“Is it wrong to enter my brother’s room without knocking?” Marcus asked
“Yes…It is”
“Fine..I’ll leave then”
“Bye”
“So you’re kicking me out? Is this what you want Princess Helen to see when she is here?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Derrick my brother you are so naive. Hope the princess hasn’t used her charm on you” Marcus asked
Prince Derrick stopped what he was doing and glanced at Marcus
“Why are you like this Marcus?” He asked
“Like what?”
“You’re jealous of me”
Prince Marcus laughed
“Jealous of you? That’s outrageous”
“It is but it’s true. You’re just jealous cause you didn’t expect I and the princess to fall in love”
“Love you say. How am I sure you’re not under pretense?” Marcus smiled cunningly
“Pretense? What do you mean?” Derrick asked
“I mean pretending to love her so that you can sit on the throne”
“Why would I do that?”
“Because you’re selfish”
“No I’m not selfish. You’re the selfish and irresponsible one here”
“I’m your elder brother Derrick. Show some respect”
“I’ll only respect you when you respect yourself cause you are not acting like an elder brother” Derrick said and left the room leaving Marcus there
He and Marcus never got along. Derrick loved Marcus but Marcus wouldn’t reciprocate it but bully him instead. Marcus was a very irresponsible guy. He is also a playboy.

STAR CROWN COLLEGE
Jaden got back and was looking for Elena but couldn’t find her. He tried calling her but the line wasn’t going through.
He went and met Stanley
“Hey you’re back” Stanley said
“Yes and I’m looking for Elena” Jaden said
“She didn’t come to school today. Kira left yesterday and hasn’t come back either” Stanley said
“Where could they be?” Jaden asked
“Maybe they are still at the palace”
“But she said she was going to come this afternoon. I’ve been trying her number but her line is switched off”
“Stop worrying Jaden. She is fine”
“Should we go visit her at the palace?” Jaden asked and Stanley laughed
“She’ll come back okay?”
“I hope so”
They were about leaving. Jaden turned and saw some girls drooling
He rolled his eyes before they left. The ladies in the school were normally all over him. Drooling and hoping he noticed them but it got worse when they found out he was prince Derrick. There was no where he goes that they won’t stare.
He waved his thoughts away and started thinking about Elena again. He was really worried about her.
They were still in the halls when they heard cheers at their front.
“What’s happening again?” Jaden asked
Stanley shrugged
Just then,they saw Princess Tasha. The students were already crowding her while her maids were driving them away. She slipped away from the crowd and walked over to where Jaden stood
“Hello brother in law” She curtsied and smiled
“Good afternoon Tasha. How are you doing?” Jaden asked
“Good. I don’t need to ask how you are doing cause your face doesn’t look so good. What’s up?” She asked even though she knew why
“I can’t get through to Elena on phone” Jaden said and she laughed
“Oh that? You won’t believe what happened” She turned and saw Stanley
“Stanley how are you?” She asked and he glared at her
“Don’t talk to me you wtch” Stanley snapped
“Dude come on. Don’t tell me you’re still angry over what happened” She said
“Angry? I’m still furious. You beat me up just because I said I like you”
Jaden laughed
“That was then and this is now” She smiled
“Do you know how many pain relief drugs I took?” Stanley snapped again
“Okay I’m sorry. Will you forgive me?” She asked
He didn’t answer then she gave him a puppy face and he smiled
“Fine. I forgive you” He said
“Now that all is forgiven,can you tell me what happened to Elena?” Jaden asked
“Oh yeah. Elena wanted to get over her fear of water but unfortunately,it didn’t go well” Tasha laughed
“What happened?” Jaden asked

??FLASHBACK??
“My princess,are you sure about this?” Kira asked worriedly
“Of course I’m sure” Helen smiled nervously
“Won’t you wait for the king to be here? You know you have a phobia” Kira said
“And I want to get over it. Tasha knows how to swim and she’ll be here to watch and teach me” Helen said
She slipped into a non transparent swim suit and went to the pool. She met Tasha there. Tasha was wearing a velvet gown with her tiara on
“Wow. This one you dressed like a princess today,hope I’m safe” Helen teased
“I just felt like it. So let’s get to business even though I’m worried why you suddenly want to learn how to swim” Tasha said
“I really need to get over my fears” Helen said
“Okay then” Tasha bought her to the front of the palace pool. Immediately Helen saw it,she froze as the fears came again
“No I can’t do this” She covered her eyes
“Come on baby you can do it” Tasha encouraged her
Helen glanced at the water one more time and screamed then mistakenly dropped her phone in the pool
Kira and Tasha started laughing
“It’s not funny” Helen pouted moving away from the water
“It’s your fault for being stubborn. Serves you right” Tasha laughed again
“Oh No. How am I going to call Jaden now?”
“Don’t worry. I’m visiting your school. Give me a message to drop for him” Tasha said
“What are you going to do there?” Helen asked
“Just wanna have fun” Tasha said and winked at Helen who face Palmed

END OF FLASHBACK
Jaden laughed
“So it didn’t work” Stanley said
“Nope”
“At least she tried” Jaden said
“Yes she did” Stanley agreed
“So where is she now and why isn’t she in school yet?” Jaden asked
“The King of Aram declared war against us so she is training with the warriors as we speak”
Jaden stood up
“Let’s go to the palace” Jaden said
“I’m coming too” Stanley said
Jaden knew King Remegius was a cunning man who used deceitful ways to win wars. He had always ignored the king but he wasn’t going to do that anymore since the king challenged his love’s kingdom.
He will make sure Zulu helps Gatrish in this war.

THE PALACE
Helen was still training with the warriors when she saw Zaki. She took some time to rest for a while but he called her over to where he was
“Good evening Uncle” She gave him a beautiful smile
She loved Zaki as much as she loved her father. If only she knew that same Uncle was after her life
“How’s my precious niece doing?” He pinched her cheek playfully
“I’m fine uncle. What brings you here?” She asked
“I came to check on you and the warriors. I also came to give you this” He handed her a bottle of chocolate
That was her favorite
“Awwwn thank you. You always know what I like”
“My pleasure. Let me open it for you” He said and she nodded
He opened it and gave it to her. She collected it and drank some from inside
Zaki saw her enjoying the drink and smiled mischievously
