Chapter 8: Sealed Fate

"You guys won't be going back to your

homeland," the Queen continues.

"If you guys want to go back, you need to leave your tongues on this tablet."

Zara blinks in confusion at what the

Queen has just said.

La, on the other hand, rolls her eyes and

responds, "Oh please, your Majesty, that's

a ridiculous request. We're not going to cut off our tongues just to return home."

The Queen smiles knowingly and replies,

"Then you've just sealed your fate. You will

Stay here with me in my kingdom forever."

Zara comments, "I will leave my tongue. I have something I need to go back to." La

looks at Zara in outrage. Zara whispers to herself, "if looks could kill, I would be the first to die by it." La responds, "I heard that you rock head." The Queen watches them in silence, amused by their banter. The

maids, who overheard the conversation,

are also amused and chuckle at their

back-and-forth.

Zara tries to smooth things over with La.

"Baby, I left way too much money behind plus I have my assignment to send in. I

can't have a bad report," she says.

La looks at Zara dumbfounded. She

begins to tense up and her eyes begin to turn red. The Queen spots this and grins,

realizing she has hit a nerve. Zara comes

up with something to keep La calm. "Baby,

I'm just joking. Silly me," she says. La's

eyes slowly return to their normal color and she relaxes a bit. Despite this she is still on edge.

The Queen finally speaks up once the

two of them have cooled down a bit.

"Now that we've finally come to an

agreement, we can continue with the

other discussions," the Queen says.

She continues, "You two will be starting

School in three days, giving you enough

time to get ready." La and Zara are both

shocked by the news of school. La blurts

out, "why on earth should we go to school?"

The Queen responds, "That's a good question, isn't it obvious? To know more about my kingdom. "

La stares at the Queen in disbelief and

says, "Who in their right mind would want

to go school? Don't get me wrong, I would

love to be a rich kid, but theres no way in hell I would go to school." Zara nods along, also agreeing that attending school sounds awful.

The Queen replies, "well you're not in

hell, so you got to go. I will assign servants to you guys, they will show you around and also go shopping for your back to school."

La is utterly distraught at this news. She

bites her lips hard, causing blood to come out, just to endure the Queen decision.

The Queen notices her distress and walks towards her. Without warning,

she uses a healing spell on La, causing

her to become flustered. Zara notices her girlfriend's reaction and doesn't like the Queen coming close to La at all.

The Queen wanted to taste La's lips but manages to control herself. She then suggests that they go back to their room once they've finished eating. La is still flustered after the Queen's touch, while Zara is feeling jealous. The Queen goes back to her working spot in the castle, trying to distract herself from her obvious attraction to La.
