The iron headed arrow made a swooshing sound against the wind until it hit the dark circle in the middle of the round board with a thump.Patrick lets out a misty breath, and then stretched his hand out for a servant to drop another arrow in his palm.“My lord” greeted Donald as he bowed to the king stiffly and handed a short note to John who stood behind the king at the foyer “Report from the northern borders”“What does it say?” Patrick asked as he lets go of another arrow which lands in the middle again.There was a short pause in as John reads through“There has been an attack on some villages close to the Northern borders my lord”An arrow lands again on the board with a thumpPatrick turned to meet John’s eyes and then Donald’s“Someone dares attack my kingdom?”“That is what is strange indeed my lord” Donald answered with his head held up high “it has been a very recent dealing and we cannot continue paying less attention thinking it is banditry. It is more than that”Patrick n

Larissa looked at the slender smiling face of the brown eyed tall girl who stood at the other end of the table and then back at the letter in her handShe drops it on the table with a sigh“I guess father still does not trust me to protect myself” she cocks her head looking the other over “what’s your name then?”“My name is Nambi”“You’re a soldier”“You can tell?” the girl whose smile didn’t leave her face asked astonished“The letter said so, plus your aura is quite stronger than that of an average girl”“Actually my lady” Nambi began as she boldly looked back into the queen’s eyes “I watched your fight with the king that day and up until now, I’m still amazed at how well you fought, it was awesome”A light pink hue dusted over Larissa’s face at that.Hardly does anyone other than her father compliment her for anything, hence it had taken a lot of effort not to show that it was a pleasant surprise to say that to her, to hear someone praise her.She cleared her throat and faced the

“You asked if I attended the royal school earlier” he reminded as they reached the waterfall garden where water fell from a high mountain down to a stream where it flowed down to where the eyes couldn’t see past. Larissa tears her amazed eyes away from the beautiful scenery to look at the king “I did not attend it, because just like you, I was raised outside the palace”Larissa was shocked at that, and had a lot of questions to ask, but she keeps silent so the king would continue, enchanted by how his hair flowed with the wind.“My mother was a queen who was deposed of because she wasn’t able to conceive, a month after being thrown out, she was discovered to be pregnant. Everyone had their opinion of it, they said it wasn’t the king’s, oh she must have slept around because she was desperate. They wanted her dead, or exiled, sent away to a place where she would suffer and eventually die”Patrick began to walk again and Larissa followed“The king played mer

Larissa looked up at the lights that were hung up on the ceiling illuminating the whole bedroom.She tightened her hold on the duvet that she held tightly against her chest in an attempt to cover the nakedness that had been visible just moments ago, her arms and shoulders still exposed.Her face was tear streaked, her eyes hooded with a blissed-out look on her face as she breathed with her mouth slightly agape to regularize her breath.“You’re such a beast” she said in a hoarse voice, making the body next to her groan as he turned from lying on his front to laying on his back instead, copying her and he threw an arm over his face, the lights were too blinding“For a virgin, you sure did take it well”She turned to look at him, a playful smile on her face it looked childish“So I did good?” she asked making Patrick peer at her from under his arm and then he scoffed, a ghost of a smile on his lips and then he raised his hand to her head and petted the disheveled hair“Yeah you did”Lari

Larissa wore a shining white gown adorned with beautiful pearls and ornaments that shone in the ray of sunlight that filtered in through the windows of the large hall the wedding was taking place in.Her brown hair was pulled back in a long braid with beautiful artificial flower crown placed over it to frame her small almond face. And her green eyes adding to her beautyShe looked like an angel who had descended to walk the road of men.Except in her case, rumors of her being a witch had already spread in the Evergreen palace and everyone who was in attendance of the wedding stood at a far distance away from her path, almost pressing themselves to the wall in fright.Larissa didn’t care, she probably didn’t even notice as she could only see Patrick who stood in all his majestically glorious outfit at the front of the hall, an officiating priest in front of him with his book of laws in hand.The princess had an awestruck look on her face, one she had on ever since the king kissed her t

Patrick’s chest rose and fell steadily as he looked down on Larissa who was on her knees, her head down, her hair all over her face with the tip of his sword over her neck.She looked disheaveled, but Patrick did not look any better. There were light bruises over his face and body“So what’s it going to be princess, do we keep on fighting or do you yield?”“Hah!” Larissa laughed and then looked up at him “this is the gentlest your voice has been since we met, why, do I seem more feminine now that I’ve been defeated?”“Shut up!”“Why, I think I like you even more now” she asserted as she shakily stood up “I yield”At that, Patrick turned around and began to walk away. Larissa breath out a disappointed sigh“Is that it, you’re just going to walk away?”“What are you doing right now? make haste, we leave at dawn tomorrow” He walked away, leaving a very pleased and smiling Larissa who looked up at the sky and lets out a small laugh“See that head priestess, I get to live in the world like a

A FEW MONTHS LATER."Congratulations son" Patricia hugged her son, smiling happily "I'm so proud of you""thank you mum" they released the hug and Patricia studied her son with a warm smile."You're finally through with high school and you know, this is the beginning of a new chapter in your life, I hope you're going to do things right this time"He nodded without hesitation "yes mum, I promise that i'll never disappoint you again"She fixed his graduation hat properly "I know you won't""Andrew!" Quinn ran fowards but halted when she noticed Patricia "Oh hi Mrs Benson""Hello Quinn, congratulations on your finally becoming a high school graduate""Thank you Mrs Benson"Patricia nodded and smiled at her son "it seems like you need a little time with your girlfriend, I'll just go find your dad""bye mum""bye"She walked away and Quinn wasted no time in jumping into Andrew's arms. She squealed in delight and Andrew laughed, amused by her excitment."someone seem excited to be finally th

Andrew sat on the pack bench with his head lowered and his eyes red from crying. Quinn sat beside him not knowing how best to comfort him, she had talked to Kaitlin but the girl didn't even have a single bit of remorse for what she did."Things are going to change now, aren't they?" Andrew asked out of the blue.The answer to that is 'yes' but Quinn couldn't bring herself to say it, she has a feeling that things were going to change for the worst."I'm sorry Andrew, i'm sorry things had to end like this, it's all because of Kaitlin""no Quinn, it's not Kaitlin's fault. I'm not going to blame anyone for my mistakes, I knew this was going to happen anyway" he lifted his head and stared straight ahead into space "you know, I'm kind of happy that this happened. All this happy times I spent with Amelia seem so false, i'm glad she knows the truth now""but Andrew, she might never forgive you, you might never get your sister's forgiveness""I know she won't forgive me and I deserve it.

The event of the previous day caused Francis to feel guilty. He knew he shouldn't have done what he did. Dave was the only guy who could make Amelia happy but he destroyed it because of his own selfish reasons.He knew he didn't deserve Amelia but he couldn't help but want her. He was starting to realize that maybe he had liked Amelia all those years. Maybe the reason he was always after her was because he wanted her attention. if he had known that things would turn out this way, he would have prevented it sooner.but sadly it was too late to cry after the milk has been spilled but it wasn't too late to prove his feelings to Amelia, even though that means he has to play dirty.He walked down the noisey hallway thinking of the best approach to convinced Amelia of his feelings. He had to do it before she finds out the truth and get together with Dave."Francis" an angry voice yelled out his name and he turn around to find Andrew marching towards him. He looked beyond furious and Francis

Andrew got out of his car and shut the door gently. He had just dropped Quinn off after their first date. It was completely marvelous.For a while now, his life has been perfect. He finally confessed his feelings to Quinn and his relationship with his little sister was perfect.There is nothing more he would ask for.Sometimes he wondered if all this would one day come to an end. What if Amelia suddenly got back her memories and go back to being afraid of him?This was the same question he ask himself every single day. The thought of Amelia getting back her memories terrified him. He didn't want this happiness to end anytime soon and he could only pray that it doesn't.It is probably selfish of him to think that way but he couldn't help it. After two years he was finally happy. You can't blame him for not wanting it to end any time soon.Francis car pulled over snaping him out of his thoughts and he glance at it.He was surprise when he saw Amelia climb down from the passenger sit.
