The Eternal Kingdom ✔️

Episode 23

Erica POV.

I need to think of a way to keep some distance away from that man. Being close to him is intoxicating, you can't think straight. Trust me you can't.

Emma and Nora took me to my room and knocked on the door. Linda opened the door staring at me and the girls wondering why two 7 years old girls followed me all the way here.

"I appreciate girls. You both have to go." I told them as they left now glaring at each other.

What will I do to does two?

"Explanation?" Linda attacked me with such question as I gradually walked up to my bed and sat down.

"What happened to your leg?" Rosa queried in concern.

"A story I'll gladly explain later." I told them and fell on my bed laying on my back shutting my eyes close.

He wants to be my friend?
It doesn't make sense. What will he gain from a friendship between him and I. It still doesn't make sense.

Nika is out of the picture, Emma and Nora into the picture, ma'am Lucy I'm in good terms with her. So how am I going to end Steven's life.

I don't understand. It's getting harder, if I might say.

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

I was finally done fetching fire woods and filling the drums as I kept walking around the garden.

My sudden attract to this garden was something I didn't understand.

"Erica." Emma yelled my name running towards me.

"Emma dear." I replied.

"Erica." Nora also yelled running bind Emma.

"Nora." I replied in shock.

This ain't good.

"I got you a rose flower," Emma said handing me the flowers.

I smiled. "Thanks Emma."

"Hey, I got you tiger lily," Nora said as I collected it from her smiling at the both.

"Thanks Nora. Thank you both." I replied smelling them.

"I hope I wasn't a bother but I got you a flamboyant flower," Steven spoke up showing me the flowers.

Suddenly my eyes widened in joy. Flamboyant is my favorite flower. I love those flowers. It was excess in Velthelment kingdom.

But why does he have to give it to me. My happy eyes because rigid.

"I don't want it." I told him staring at him sternly.

The hopes in Steven eyes dropped into gloomy ones.

"I can practically kneel for you to take this from my hands. I got it sincerely for you." He begged kneeling on one knee.

Impossible. Why is he doing so? He should get up because I won't accept those from his hands. He should stop all this nice act, they are making me feel jelly in a way I couldn't explain.

Always making me feel different.

"Stop wasting your time and get up." I told him carelessly turning away from him but he quickly held my wrist stopping me on my track.

"Erica." He mentioned softly.

"Pls accept." Emma and Nora begged.

"You two leave." I told them. They both stared at me knowing very well they can't object and left.

I dragged my wrist from his hold.

"For the fact I talk to you blood leash, doesn't mean I have forgiven you and let you do whatever stupid you're doing." I told him arrogantly.
