Preparing for the Night Mission

Zenia freshened up and stayed in the room for a while. She had mixed emotions. She thought she could remain composed until they finished their mission in Lunaria. At that moment, she wanted to ride Thunderbolt and escape from all of it. She knew that Zekiah would understand even without telling him anything. 

Everything would proceed as planned, except she would no longer take part in it. The Crown Prince should be satisfied with the replacement that she had provided. She knew that Zekiah would be able to pull it off. He had always been more graceful than her and already knew proper etiquette. 

She originally had no patience to wait but had given him ample time to confess everything. She wanted to know if she could really trust him with her heart. She had given him hints, and he still decided to ignore them. How long did he plan to make her wait? Should she be the only one to adjust and understand?
