The Dark Magoi Rose

Chapter 7

Yasmine :

I woke up to Nala and Sunrise. My best friend had wrapped her arms around my body and held me like a pillow. I groaned while holding my head. The last I had seen was Sinbad..

He was taunting me about being his woman.

That bastard!

"Ah, the princess has awoken. " I looked over to see Cyprus sitting in a nearby chair. His arms crossed and his eyes locking with mine. "I didn't feel comfortable about that boy carrying you in here without touching you. "

"It's not as if you were nearby to catch me, nor stop him. " I smirked.

"If I were to show up, your father would've know everything. " Cyprus was standing by the pitcher of water. Pouring himself a cup. "Fidel would've been furious. "

"He'll survive, knowing he would have the king's seal on his back. " I said. Slipping out of Nala's arms, and getting dressed. "I have Sinbad in the most perfect trap. He'll lose his mind before his head rolls. "

Cyprus grins. "I think you shouldn't worry about this Sinbad at the moment. "

I turned my head towards him. "I think this trap is made for you, more than it is for him. "

I have no heart to give, and no love to receive. I want to kill Sinbad slowly and painfully. To make him see his greed in the form of his heart.

"I'm not so careless to put myself through dangerous games like that. "

"I know that, her Highness. "Cyprus said. I fixed my gloves and stared at him through the mirror. "I don't doubt your ideas in the slightest, but I am concerned that you'll go soft in means of this boy. "

He stood closer, and whispered into my ear. "Even if it means letting a dungeon escape your very hands ."

I sighed. "So you're able to read my plans for the day. Going to Annar's dungeon. "

"I'm going with you, just for safety precautions. I am a Knight to my queen after all. " I smirked.

"We can speak with that title when I actually inherit it. " He grins, before stepping to the side as I left.

I planned on leaving during the night. So I had to check on the village before I leave. Making sure the men are alive and the children keep smiling.

"Yasmine," I looked over my shoulder to see Sinbad running over to my side. Did he think he has a side there? " I need a favor from you. "

I arched my brow and looked around, my townhouse was up the street. We traveled there just to talk.

"It depends on this favor. " I said while sipping my tea. "If it involves you trading with Dracul, I doubt my father with allow that. "

"I can talk to your father about that later, what I want from you is for you to stay away from that dungeon. " I narrowed my eyes at the man before me. He was known for this type of game. To tell others not to go in the dungeon, just so he can go and capture it for himself.

I laughed.

"Do you honestly think I'm a fool? " I asked. "I know your game, and I refuse overlook power just to give away to a mere estroena."

"Thousands of men have died in those dungeons, " Sinbad explained. "It's not something to take lightly. The power trapped inside those dungeons... It's unspeakable. Life changing. Your men won't be the same ..if they're alive. "

"Why bring an army to begin with? " I ask. "Those men are recovering from a ambush. "

"As are you. " he said. Holding my hand. " You've played a bigger role in that rebellion than anyone else. I'm not doing this just for greed, I'm saying this to protect you. "
