"That\'s a secret," he muttered, his gaze focused on her face.

"You are acting petty again," She said displeasingly. She was about to press the issue further but suddenly rushed into the bathroom when Amos started approaching her.

"Why did she run away?" Amos muttered in confusion.

"And also why did she kiss me like that without any explanations?" He stared at the brown door for a few minutes before he went to the bed with Bacon who was still in his arms.

Reaching the bed, Amos dropped Bacon on it with great care. He sat close to where the bird lay.

"If you are as magical as Joan says I am sure you must be hearing what I am saying now, right?" Amos asked while staring at the bird whose eyes were closed.

"I know we were never on good terms so it will be understandable if you choose to ignore me," Amos said, his eyes not moving from Bacon\'s tiny body.

As he spoke he silently hoped to see Bacon respond. As long as it reacts he knows he will stand a chance to win it over.

"Bacon, no matter how much you hate me for being mean to you, you must listen to what I am going to say because it doesn\'t only concern me but also Joan," Amos said as though he was speaking to a human.

If Gideon and Chris were here to see how gently their King was treating a bird they would have needed more than a slap on their faces to wake them up.

Just when Amos was about to give up, Bacon slowly opened his eyes.

His happiness knew no bounds when he saw the sick bird open its eyes. He almost screamed out in excitement.

"Bacon, since you have opened your eyes I will take it that you have agreed to listen to what I have to say ok?" Amos asked with excitement written all over his face.

"Bacon, I want to ask you for a favour and believe this favour is not only gonna make Joan very happy but it will make her love you more than she does now," Amos said smiling. He couldn\'t stop himself from smiling as he talked.

As Joanna took her time to shower, Amos used this opportunity to talk with Bacon as much as he wanted.

He composed himself and acted like nothing was happening when he heard the bathroom door knob turn.

"I will leave to give you privacy," He said and tried to carry Bacon from the bed.

"You can stay but you are not allowed to peep while I change," Joanna warned sternly.

"Hmm…," He trailed as he sat back on the bed.

"I will try…,"

"You will try? How…,"

"Shhh… keep your voice down or you will wake Bacon up," He said with his finger on his lips.

Because this concerns Bacon, Joanna didn\'t argue with him anymore.

"He really knows how to get me to surrender to him," Joanna muttered. She opened the wardrobe and took out a casual flare dress.

Afterwards, she walked to the dressing table although with difficulties.

As she tried to apply lotion to her body Joanna constantly cried out in pain. Amos listened to her cries with his hands digging into the bedsheets.

"Ouch!" She cried out loudly, causing Amos to jump to his feet.

"Are you alright?" He asked while looking at the lady sitting in front of the huge dressing mirror.

Joanna on seeing him stare at her through the mirror quickly shielded her chest and reprimand him, "I told you not to look…,"

"This is not the first time I am seeing you nude. In fact, we did that just yesterday night so why are you acting shy…,"

"Does a lady need a reason to be shy? Besides, we are not married so how do you expect me to act cool about it?" Joanna replied without thinking.

She composed herself when she realized that she had talked a bit too much.

"Do you want us to get married then?" Amos asked out of the blue. His question caught Joanna unawares.

[Is he serious about this proposal or is he saying it merely to tease me?]

Joanna was lost in thoughts as she tried to keep her excited heart in check in case it wandered too far away.

"Have you seen anyone propose as casually as you did…,"

"You know I have every resource and the power to give you the grandest wedding proposal ever seen since the establishment of the Kingdom…,"

"Boring," Joanna adopted Audrey\'s favourite word as she rolled her eyes.

Since Joanna didn\'t want his help Amos didn\'t press the issue further. He continued keeping Bacon company.

"Joan, there is something I have been wanting to ask you…,"

"Then why are you hesitating?" Joanna cut in as she peered at him through the mirror.

"I am not," He denied.

There was silence in the room after he finished talking.

"It\'s about that annoying guy earlier…," He started. He so much wanted to look at her face as he talked but he couldn\'t turn around since she was still dressing up.

"Do you mean Ray?" Joanna asked despite already knowing who he was referring to.

"What about him?".

She paused applying the eyeliner on and paid attention to what he wanted to say.

"How do you know him? And is it true that you are meeting him for the first time after eight years?" Amos asked while clutching the sheets.

"I am not doubting what you said but it\'s just that it didn\'t look like you were meeting for the first time after so long. You look so close," Amos expatriate even thought that wasn\'t necessary.

"Actually, I met him in the forest close to the Cliff of the Ancient Forest Of No Return after being tricked there by Laura. I had lost my way and surprisingly he was there at the time I needed someone the most," Joanna replied casually as she played with the tips of her hair.

"And about our closeness earlier…," Joanna trailed. "I don\'t know why I acted the way I did," she concluded.

"Do you like him?" He questioned abruptly. Immediately after he finished asking the question he regretted doing that.

"Which lady in her right senses wouldn\'t like a fine boy who isn\'t handsome but also popular?" Joanna asked carefreely. She didn\'t see anything wrong in his question.
