Chapter 86
Davina, I need an explanation immediately. What is this term that you're using with me? He says to her and she says before she turns to him.
You can't tell me what to do. She says to him, he steps back in confusion of why she's speaking to him in such a manner:
Yes, I can tell you what to do. He says.
Why? Because you're a king or because you're a man. She asks and he looks at her. There is really a difference in how she presumes him to be any does he understand what has happened between her and him?
The Davina he imagines will not use such tones to speak to each other and all of a sudden, she is doing that to him.
"I do not know if you're angry to me, but if I have done something I shouldn't have." So, forgive me if I have done something better shouldn't have.
"Khalifa. I'm not about to go to the list of things that you have done." She says.
Please make me understand what I've done to you to disclose such a tone with me. What did I do to you? He says to her and she doesn't want to answer him.
She's about to break free from the hold he has on her hand but he doesn't allow her to move immediately. She tries to break free from him.
Will you let me go? She says and he looks at her. I won't let you go until I hear what I've done.
"Okay, how about I don't know when to speak to you and I need my space." She says to him and he looks at her again wondering where exactly he has gone wrong. To hear such a tone coming from her.
"Davina, please." You can't really be speaking to me in such a way. Why can I? Why can't I? Once again I'm asking is it because you're king? Of is it because of something else?
Davina. He says to her as one of his men comes into the room and she yanks her hand away from him.
Davina! He says to her as she continues to walk away until she gets into a room where she closes the door behind her.
In her room, she's the only one there she takes a deep breath as she steps into the room. She sees says that he has once again designed a bedroom into something extravagant like he has always done.
There is everything she could ever want in our room to go to silver. Every single thing that is shining and booming with bonds. It is literally in the finest of silk and the finest of embroidery every single dress. He has something unique about it. It puts so much detail in our life.
Everything he does for her he does it with so much need and necessity because his love for her is pure, and she will never doubt that but her freedom is what she would fight for especially not at the out of the lands of her birth.
She's tired of bending her back to the laws that guides that society. And now that she's out of the range and that society, she would choose to do things that we are not listen to what he has to say.
It's difficult; so hard to see, to speak to him in such a way is the last thing she wants to do. To him but sometimes he really does get on her nerves and she is tired of having to put up with it. Ever since she was a little girl, she has had to look up to a father figure.
Now, Khalifa is behaving the same way to her. She knows she has to break free from such entanglement. Davina sighs as she steps into the room after seeing all the new changes that has come forward.
She stands in front of the mirror as she looks at the change in her outfit. Of course, she's looking different. And she's supposed to look like this if the society where she is firm didn't force its women to dress for fear that they will grow some wings that she doesn't really understand.
And she cannot understand how someone would have the right to dictate what she's supposed to be. It disturbs her but she is now about to start fighting to break from it.
She's here to leave her life to the fullest specially because he is a man that she does love. And even when he is here for the most absurdest reason ever, she still has to put up with it and find a way to make it work.
The story between the king, his fiancee and his brother. She realizes that this woman called Lady vixen is actually someone that intrigues her, Davina wonders where exactly they should get such a motive to leave the king, break free from his power as King and his power as a man what she actually wants in life.
She wanted to know the kind of person Vixen was to break such protocol and put ourself in such diverse place. And at the end of the day marry the man that she wanted, not caring about what the community or society had to say about it.
Yes, she wanted to know about it and the more she had more news about Vixen, the more she decided to break wings free. She's sitting and staring at herself in the mirror, as she thinks about it.
Khalifa comes knocking at the door, before she can say he should come in, Khalifa comes in himself as she rolls her eyes as he steps in front of her.
"Davina." He says to her as she's looking at herself in the window but then he turns her face away because of the way her waist is exposed from the angle he is standing right now.
What you're wearing right now is unacceptable. He says to her, and she turns her face to him.
Yes, so unacceptable that you cannot even look up my face as if I am absurd already. Then, why don't you look at me? She says and she turns to him and he looks at her.
"We're not married yet." She says to him, and she smiles and places a hand on his cheek.
"Yes, we're not married yet but I certainly do not care anymore, Khalifa." Davina says.
You said you had work to do here in Southland . And after that we would bond to each other but it looks like your work is going to take a while isn't it? She says to him and he looks at her face.
No it won't! Davina, be patient. He says and she chuckles.
I'm very patient. It is you that is impatient. How do I know you are not patient? It's because you cannot even stare at my body for too long. It drives you crazy. She says to him and then he places his hand somewhere along his chin and he is about to step out.
But then she asks him once again.
Did you not come here to ask me why I'm angry with you? Or is it you know to why I am angry.You can't even stay in my room for too long. She says and he stops when he's getting closer to the door?
"Yes, give me an inkling to why you're upset with me." He says to her and she looks at him.
"Khalifa, I'm not like the rest of the woman." I will continue to go up visit the public however I choose and not care if what you say is different. I will not agree with everything you say.
I'll be fast. "I'll speak too."
"I will share my thoughts with the world and I will do what I want to do irrespective of what you think Khalifa and I know you would want me to serve an example of what the woman is supposed to be to you." But would you be able to live with me like that?
She says to him and he looks at her.
"Davina I swear to the gods, I don't understand a word that you say."
Then, let me put it plain to you! My dressing, everything that I want to do now. I will not care what you think. And we don't care what society says or what the men of our clan think a woman must become so that their masculinity can shine. I cannot be that example that you want me to be.
Why exactly is that? You've never come to me with such question before never as it's ever been an issue. Why exactly are you choosing such a path!? He says to her.
Vixen, the one whom you spoke up about. The most spoke about woman in the whole of Southland. She is my motivation. She says to him.
