Capítulo 79: Playing the game

Malachi was really trying to find something about Zoila to like. Besides her beauty, there was nothing he could hold onto. But what other choice did he really have? He had his people and his kingdom to care about. 

Zoila got distracted while talking and looked inside through the window. Malachi looked over his shoulder to see and saw a green garment from the corner of his eyes. 

There was a knock on the glass door and he turned the other way to look behind him. Ravina opened the door and stepped into the balcony. What was she doing? 

"Malachi…" she looked between him and Zoila, subtly signaling that she wanted to talk to him. 

"Oh… I will leave you two alone," Zoila said rising from her seat. 

"Thank you," Ravina gave her a nod as Zoila walked by.

Holding a plate with one hand she closed the door with the other when Zoila went back inside the house.
