Kiara furrowed her eyebrows as she watched Zane scribble on the canvas. He would glance at her for a second then turn back to the Canvas and draw something on it.
“Can I see?" She questioned but he ignored her.
“Keep your head straight" He muttered then froze when he heard someone snicker behind him. He turned around and they all immediately turned away.
“Is something wrong? Let me see!" She uttered and was about to stand up from the throne when Zane stopped her.
“No. If you stand up from that throne, my plans will be ruined" Zane immediately said with his eyes slightly wide. She sighed then sat back down on the throne and watched as the men and ladies behind Zane tried their best not to laugh which just made her more curious.
“If I hear another snicker, you all will lose your jobs, your property and potentially your life" Zane muttered slowly and calmly but the warning behind his tone was evident.
They all immediately tensed up and Kiara saw some of them gulp with fear which made her roll her eyes.
“Zane, you don't have to threaten them. Let me see" He shook his head.
“No. Stay there, I'm almost done" She rolled her eyes but did as she was told with a sigh.
After what felt like an hour, a smile broke out of Zane's face then he turned to Kiara.
“I'm done" Her eyes widened slightly then she stood up from the throne and walked up to him.
“Let me see" She uttered and when he showed her the painting, she froze with her eyes wide and he smiled at her reaction.
“It's so gorgeous that it left you speechless huh? I told you I was great at everything" He uttered with a proud smile on his face.
“Erm… Zane?" He nodded with a smile.
“Yes, my love?" She turned to him then pointed at the painting.
“Who's that?" He furrowed his eyebrows.
“What do you mean? That's obviously you" She suddenly burst out laughing prompting the others that were holding in her laugh to laugh out as well.
Zane watched her with a frown as she fell to the ground laughing so hard that tears gathered in her eyes.
“It… looks… like… a painter… with… no… hands drew that" She uttered in-between laughs then laughed harder when the others laughed as well.
“Okay that's enough" He muttered and they all immediately stopped laughing except Kiara.
“It's not that bad, Kiara" He muttered as he glanced back at the painting.
“It looks like a dog took a dump on the canvas and you claimed it as art" She uttered then laughed even harder and Zane pouted before throwing the Canvas to the ground.
“I'm done with this" He muttered then walked out of the throne room and only then did Kiara stop laughing. She pouted then turned to the ladies who were acting as her maids.
“I think I might have hurt his ego. I better go talk to him" She murmured and they helped her up from the ground. She thanked them then ran after Zane.
“Zane, wait up. I cannot run in this puffy gown" She called out but he didn't stop. Instead, he walked faster.
She glared at his back and was about to yell at him when she tripped on her gown and fell to the ground.
“Ouch" She winced then glanced at her bruised palm.
