Everlasting

Introduction:
"This alliance was agreed by me, gentlemen, Princess Kiara has wished for this war to end, as I do." Kai pauses. "Who decided that this meeting was to be called without my knowledge?" He looks around glaring. He turns to me. My guards are tense at the door, as he nears me.
"Forgive me, my fury, I was unaware." He says softly his hand touching my cheek. I could feel the heat from his palm.
"I believe they just wanted to see if I was worthy," I murmur playing along.
"I know you showed them by the command you took," He states.
I could feel their fiery gazes startle.
"Perhaps, tonight you can join me for dinner?" He asks.
"I would not miss it," I turn to the royal table. "Please excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I shall take my leave now."
I can hear the muttering and disagreement as can Kai. "Oh, and gentlemen," I pause before the door. "You may underestimate me now, but crossing me, is the last thing you want to do. I am not a meek little girl, I will fight for my people, and should the Prince agree, our people." I pause my eyes glinting. "I am not going to give up. So, try me if you wish. However, be warned. Unlike you, I have the bite to back up the bark." I walk away hearing the chairs screech. They start yelling as I walk away. My guards following. Their proud gazes reach mine.
This is for our people. This will save lives. I tell myself.
Even at the cost of myself.
