Chapter 14 Peace before a storm

★★★Apollo's POV★★★

     Anthena was making a statement at the meeting and she suddenly stopped. I turned towards her just to see her beautiful brown eyes looking at me. I could see she was trying  to hold back the tears but they wanted to burst out so badly."uhm uhm uhmm" I coughed to get her attention back to what she was saying so she doesn't start crying.

     "The Princess, Aphrodite must be made queen urgent"." I would try as much as possible to eliminate all obstacle while Enyo who is the rook would lead her to the end of the board. My wise pumpkin said(Anthena).

     Some of the elders had their own objection " how can a 14 year old girl be the ruler" one said"she doesn't even know anything about ruling or politics or the economic or even the Art of War" another said "I bet she doesn't even know how to use her power her being  the goddess of light" another said Anthena and I made sure only a few trusted people new know Aphrodite  power,because if a lot of people got to know, it would only put her in danger because of what happened in the past. "she  has never been anywhere apart from her quarters, she doesn't even have the adequate training ... before they could continue I shouted "enough then I nodded to Anthena  to continue

      "No matter what she must be made Queen and if anyone wants to object ,they shall then enjoy their years in the dungeon. This meeting is dismissed!"Anthena said with anger and command

      After the meeting was dismissed only Anthena, Enyo and I were left.

     "  you know what to do Enyo. I know the court council will have time to time disagreement about Aphrodite ruling but be there for her" Anthena said .

     "Yes Her Majesty" Enyo said with a breaking down voice. Enyo  curtsied as she was about to leave, she turned back and held Anthena in a tight hug as she sobbed " thanks for always being there for me, I wouldn't let you down" Enyo said with a much firm voice.

     " I know you wouldn't " Anthena said while pulling Enyo from her embrace and whipped out her tears "Do not let your emotions get the best of you okay" Enyo nodded. Then she left

I could see tears flowing like a river from Anthena's eyes ,I thought to myself 'here is the person that said don't let your emotions get the best of you'. I walked closer to her and cupped her cheeks in my palm, I could feel her flawless and soft cheeks, then I whipped away the tears that had stained her face.

"I thought you said not to let your emotions get the best of you so what is this I am seeing my wise pumpkin " I said.

    I held her by her waist and pulled her to my chest. She wrapped her hands on my neck and our cheeks were touching each other . I could hear her once breaking breath beginning to calm down like a once stormy ocean or sea suddenly calming its waves or a once erupting volcano suddenly cooling.

     Her little gesture reminded me of when we first met ."Do you remember when we first met on your coming of age. I was looking for a Queen and there you were in the middle of the ballroom like a lonely lost sheep looking for a Shepherd. " I said while remembering how cute she looked and she was just perfect for a Queen.

    "Firstly , I have told you to stop calling me a sheep . You decided to steal my first dance which belonged to my father, which got him very angry". My wise pumpkin said

    "Yh I can still remember his chilly hot pepper red face that day, he looked like a volcano that was at its peek of eruption. "  I said

   "Hey ". Anthena said while pulling back from pur hug then she hit me on my chest. "Don't talk about my papi like that. It's not my fault you two were destined enemies ". Then I .....
