Chapter 12:

Zayn's P.O.V.

"Your Highness," someone says from behind causing both of us to look up.

"Yes, Samar" I say getting up followed by Lady Soraya.

"Umm," he hesitates.

"It's okay, she's with me," I say looking at Lady Soraya who seems to edge towards the roses away from us.

"A message has come from King Anwar and Lieutenant General Othman of Ajra," Samar starts.

"It's just Anwar; he doesn't have the power to be anything, but Princess Arya the title of Lord," Lady Soraya corrects causing both of us to face her; she has anger in her face.

"He has dubbed himself King and rightful ruler M'lady. King Anwar says if you leave Zailaan peacefully and give up the rule here then no one will die. Lieutenant General Othman says all is well; the tiger should rest," Samar says as Lady Soraya laughs at the last remark.

Lady Soraya seemed to calm down at Lieutenant General Othman's name. What does he mean by that?

"No one should call Anwar King because he has no right to the throne since if anything happened to Princess Arya then Lieutenant General Othman and I was left in charge," Lady Soraya says thoughtfully.

What is Anwar up to? Wait a minute, she's in charge? Can we stop this war? Will she help?

"Wait you're in charge of Ajra right now?" Samar asks Lady Soraya.

"Not exactly since I'm not there," Lady Soraya explains.

"Could you stop the war?" he asks.

"Most definitely," she replies.

Arya's P.O.V.

"A message has come from King Anwar and Lieutenant General Othman of Ajra," Samar starts.

KING?! How dare he take my throne with me alive?!

"It's just Anwar; he doesn't have the power to be anything, but Princess Arya the title of Lord," I correct enraged, causing both of them to face me.

Why did I dub him Lord again? Oh right it was to show him I trusted him.

"He has dubbed himself King and rightful ruler M'lady. King Anwar says if you leave Zailaan peacefully and give up the rule here then no one will die. Lieutenant General Othman says all is well the tiger should rest," Samar says as I laugh at the last remark.

Rightful ruler? That was a joke right? Does he think I'm dead? He probably hopes so. Lieutenant General Othman has things under control and has gotten my message. This calms me down a bit; at least he is alive and well. If Anwar does anything to him, I will make sure he doesn't see the next day after he sees me.

"No one should call Anwar King because he has no right to the throne since if anything happened to Princess Arya then Lieutenant General Othman and I was left in charge," I say remembering who I am to Prince Zayn.

"Wait you're in charge of Ajra right now?" Samar asks me.

I am Princess Arya so yes I'm the ruler of Ajra. If I were Soraya what would I say?

"Not exactly since I'm not there," I explain.

"Could you stop the war?" he asks.

Of course I can if I can get to Arja and give Anwar a piece of my mind.

"Most definitely," I reply.

"So sure of yourself?"Prince Zayn asks.

Not really I know I can since I'm Princess Arya.
