Zane⁓Chan: The Princess And The Thief

FORTY-NINE: Forgive Me Princess

Kawaii-Chan's POV:

"Your memorial was unveiled yesterday and everyone loves it. Kia also set up a bookstore for you to honour your memory and the dream you always had about one day doing just that. I just know you would love it and spend all your time in the bookstore until it closes. Everyone loves it and they take such amazing care of it already, I'm going to keep it open" I fixed the flowers on her grave and smiled.

It was warmer now and Easter was almost here, Kia has been going into overdrive planning everything with Talulla after she begged me to let her be in charge of it.

She pointed out how she wanted to learn how to do those things when she reaches 18 years old, it is common for her then to host at least one celebration every year and wants to practice.

"And Kia is making sure that there is going to be a little memorial for you there too. No one sits in your spot and your book and cloak still rest over the chair so no one can take the spot. And your paintings are still hanging up, everyone has been taking such good care of them too and I may go a little overboard with keeping them safe. Zane's also almost completely healed though he's still in a little bit of pain and he doesn't have his energy completely back yet but he's been doing a lot better" Sitting down in front of the headstone I sighed.

"Oh! And I'm happy to tell you that Mehkin met someone and I'm really happy for him. His name is Levi and he's a really amazing person and treats Mehkin perfectly. He fits in so well and I must admit Levi and I love to tease Mehkin on some things. Levi and I also go out for a day together every single week and it's been so much fun. Mehkin and Levi really love each other too, I know you'd love him" Dusting off the dirt on the headstone and smiled.

My ears perked up when I heard footsteps and I looked over my shoulder to see Zane walking towards me, I smiled at him and sat up a little straighter.

He stopped next to me and kneeled down next to me, I smiled and he pulled what he was hiding behind his back out and I gasped as I stared it the beautiful crystalized figurine in his hand.

It's of Brielle and her husband, it was crsytalized by my magicks and it looked amazing, it's a light blue colour, Brielle and her husbands favourite colour.

I smiled and took it from him carefully and looked at the empty ledge on the upper part of the headstone of Brielle's, I had been looking for something to put there and now I have something.

Sitting up on my knees, I carefully set it down on the ledge and managed to cement it to the ledge that way it'd never fall off and sat back down with a smile on my face.

I heard a noise and looked over to see Zane had another one that would work for her husbands headstone, I smiled at him and took it from him, standing up I walked over and did the same thing.

"There, now their resting places are done" I said and took a few steps back to look at their headstones that were no finally complete and felt a lot better.

Zane stood up and stepped next to me looking at them, I smiled at how put together the headstones I've been keeping a close eye on for the past few months and looked at Zane.

"Thank you" He nodded his head.

"Of course" I smiled and wiped my dress off before turning around and started to walk with Zane following me as we made our way out of the cemetery together.

We haven't continued our conversation that had gone on yesterday and I wasn't sure how to bring it up to him so I was waiting until he would bring it up.

Walking around the corner we started down the pathway and I seen Levi and Mehkin walking around, they noticed us and smiled, I smiled back and Zane nodded his head.

"Forgive me princess" I stopped and turned around to face him, confused.

"What" I whispered.

"Forgive me for everything I said to you and forgive me for making you feel like everything between us was a lie. It was not a lie and I need you to know that everything that happened between us was real. I heard you when you told me you love me and I meant it when I told you I love you when I woke up, I needed you to know that in case you wanted me gone after I recovered. So forgiv-" I pressed my lips against his, silencing him.

That's all I wanted to hear and that's all it took for me to step forward, pull his mask down and kiss him softly, his arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled me closer to him.

I moved my lips against his and wrapped my arms around his neck, I was careful not too hurt him too much knowing he still has some bruises that haven't completely healed.

I pulled away from the kiss and looked up at him.

"I forgive you" He smiled and I squealed when he lifted me up and started spinning around, I laughed and wrapped my arms tighter around his neck as he continued to spin me around.

He set me down and I smiled at him, and then I remembered something.

"Oh right! The banishment is officially lifted" I said and he smiled at me, I know that I never really enforced it but I thought I'd actually tell him about it.

"You never enforced it?" He commented.

"Now I don't have too" He shook his head and I laughed as we continued walking along the pathway and without thinking I grabbed his hand and he didn't seem to mind.

"Well it would be rude of you to enforce it after you broke into my childhood home" I scoffed and pinched his side, he stepped away from me as I shook my head.

"I did it to save your life! You are in debt to me now" I commented.

"I saved your sister" He shot back.

"I killed the person who killed your mother" He shook his head.

"I saved you from the arranged marriage" I gasped.

"I saved you from being arrested!" Suddenly we heard someone laughing and we looked over to see Coven standing there shaking his head.

"You two are perfect for each other"
