The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 61

SASA POV_

I had finally left Zwe's house after the meeting with the King. My heart was still beating fast, praying he doesn't follow me or finish me off. My father held my hand.

Xolani: "You did well."

Me: "Thank you Tata."

Xolani: "But Thembisa, you will have to start respecting the King. He may not be your favourite person, especially after what he did but I raised you to be well mannered and respectful of elders."

Me: "I will Tata. I'm sorry."

Xolani: "I hoped for a small minute you'd wake up from that coma with no memory of this prince so that he can leave you alone and you can also leave him. However, I quickly erased that idea in my head. I respect your choices my child, I only ever want what's best for you. I've seen how your eyes light up when you see him. I can see that you love him very much." I looked at my hands on lap, blushing. "He doesn't deserve you but then again, no one does. But you're a queen Thembisa. You deserve the world that he will give you. You deserve his type of protection and his love. You deserve a good King. I just want you to always remember to be yourself. As you love him, don't forget yourself as well. In that way, your marriage will be equal and fair to you both. I still have my doubts about him but that is for me to work through." I hugged him.

Me: "Thank you Tata. That means so much to me."

Xolani: "And you mean even more to me. Thembisa I'm not saying start poking me to give in to the things you want." I giggled, cuddling in his chest.

Me: "I won't Tata. I love you."

Xolani: "I love you too." We drove into eNtabeni and walked in. Amahle arrived just after me. Mama and Zanele were in the restaurant sampling food. Can they even do that? "What is this Ntombenhle?"

Mama: "The chef asked if we can help him with some new dishes. So we're tasting."

Xolani: "Zanele?"

Nele: "Mama asked the chef to make us samples to taste." I laughed. I've never even seen the chef of this place.

Xolani: "Ntombenhle. Please stop this. Why do you like to embarrass me?"

Mama: "Xolani, how am I embarrassing you? The Prince said we can use all things inside here. I'm always cooking for you at home, nam I would like to be cooked for at least."

Xolani: "Thembisa, do you want to rest?"

Me: "Yes Tata. Let me introduce Amahle first. Mama, this is my friend Amahle. She's Nkosi's sister. Amy, this is my mom and my little sister Zanele."

Ama: "Hello."

Mama: "You are the last princess of the throne. It's very nice to meet you, princess."

Nele: "Hello!"

Me: "Amy, Zwe said you're staying here with us."

Amy: "Yes. I need to be closer to him so he doesn't have to travel to the palace everyday to check on me."

Me: "Should I help you to your room?"

Ama: "Sure."

Me: "Nele, come let's help Amahle to her room. We'll be back Tata." Zanele walked with us. We reached Amahle's suite and walked in. It was closest to Nkosi's and almost identical to his but hers had darker colours. "How are you feeling?"

Ama: "So much better actually. I think the pain has subsided quite alot. I'll be okay by morning."

Me: "That's great. I have a question." I lay on her bed, she lay on the other side of the bed, Zanele sat at the edge of the bed facing us.
