Back at Agnam....Queen Helena has started ruling the whole kingdom after Isabel left. She ruled in a way that satisfied her, she didn't think about the people she's ruling. She only thought about herself and her daughters. The people in the kingdom suffered a lot.
On a bright sunny day, a case was brought to her, a poor man was caught stealing.
"You stole because you and your family were hungry? She asked shouting
"I'm sorry my Queen please forgive me, I did it because my family were dying of hunger" he said in tears
"Where are your hands?" The queen asked him and he raised his hands up.
"What's wrong with it?" She asked
"Nothing,my queen"
"Why couldn't you work with those hands instead of stealing"
"I'm sorry my Queen"
"Guards,take this man away and cut his hands"
"My Queen please don't do this to me" he pleaded in tears.
"You don't know how to use it so it's better you don't have it at all"
The guards took the man away and carried on with the order.

Back to Cynora.
Isabel was in her room thinking about what the woman told her about her eyes, she still could not believe it.
"Why haven't I known all this while?" She asked herself.
She was still in thoughts when a knock was heard on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me princess" a maid said from outside
"You can come in"
She entered.
" My princess, someone wants to see you"
"Who is it?" She asked
"It Prince luke, my princess"
"Really? Where is he?" She asked surprisedly
"He was with the king when he asked me to tell you he wants to see you but he told me that you should meet him at the field"
"Okay thanks, you may go"
Isabelle dressed up and went to the field. luke was not there when she got there so she had to stand somewhere around the field. she went to the side where there was flowers and started pluking some flowers but suddenly someone blind folded her from behind.
"Who is it?" She asked.
She became scared when the person didn't respond.
"I said who is it?" She said in anger and fear.
"Are you that scared" the person said has he unfolded her eyes.
Isabel looked back and saw Luke and she sighed.
"Why did you have to do that?" She asked a bit angry
"I'm sorry my princess" he said and brushed her hair with his fingers.
"What are you doing"she asked trying to get his hand off her hair.
"You look more beautiful today" he said and smiled at her.
"Oh, thank you"
" Would you like us to walk round the field?" He asked
"Yes,sure"
They walked round the field and Luke plucked lot of flowers for Isabel.
"Isabel!" Someone called from behind.
Both Isabel and Luke looked back and saw Williams. He walked towards them and said to Isabel " I've been looking for you so your maid told me you were here"
"Yes, I came to see Luke"
"Luke, it's unusual for you to come on a normal day" he said as he faced him.
"Actually,I came to do something" Luke replied
"What's that?" Williams asked
"I came to see Isabel"
"Isabel? Why?"
"Just to see her"
Williams stared at Luke for a very long time then he faced Isabel and said "See you later"
"My greetings to Tasha" Luke said as Williams walked away but he didn't reply.
"I think I should be going now"Luke said as he plucked a blue rosary flower for Isabel "I shall come next time"
"Okay bye, have a good day" she said and bid him goodbye.
Williams was seen in his room walking up and down restlessly.
"Why did he have to come see her? He doesn't come on a just normal day like before so why did he come because of Isabel. Does he like her? I think I should confess my feelings to her before it gets late but I'm scared. What if she doesn't feel the same way for me"
A knock was on the door then Isabel entered.
"Williams,I'm back"
"Why did he come to see you?" He asked looking curious.
"Nothing, we only talked and he pluked some flowers for me. Have you been worried about that" she replied and sat on the bed.
"No I wasn't. Just wondering why he came,it's usual of him"
"Ohh, okay"
Williams sat beside her.
" Isabel" Williams called
"Yes, what is it?
"There is something I want to tell you" his heart beat were moving faster as he said this.
"Go ahead" she said as she looked into his eyes. His eyes were fixed on hers too.
He moved closer to her until there was no space between them, there nose were touching each other just then Williams lips made its way into Isabel's. Her lips understood the assignment and responded to it. His hand moved down her tiny waist as they kissed.
"I love you" he said when they stopped "I've been hiding my feelings from you all this while because I wasn't sure you felt the same way for me but I don't think I can hide it anymore"
Isabel couldn't respond, she didn't know what to say because she has also been feeling the same way.
"Do you feel the same way for me?" He asked as his eyes seeks for answers.
Isabel nodded and slowly said " Yes,I do"
The happiness in Williams eyes couldn't be measured. He tightly hugged her and said "Thank you". They hugged for a long period until someone suddenly entered, it was Tasha. The twos quickly freed up each other and fortunately for them Tasha didn't see anything but she was suspicious.
"Isabel,have you been here?" She asked
"I came in not long ago" she replied trying to act as if nothing happened.
"I've been looking for you and couldn't find you"
"Oh, yeah I was about to leave to" she said as she stood up.
"Brother, Isabel will assist me in baking a cake. See you later"
" Make it bigger than the one you baked the other time" he replied
"Okay,foodie" she said and they left
"Thank God she didn't see anything" Williams said and heaved a sigh of relieve.
