"What's this I hear about Alexis being in the dungeons?" Hector spoke as he burst into Alastair's office with an angry expression.
Alastair who had been grimly looking through documents lifted his head with a glare, it wasn't as bad as his one before, in fact, this one was slightly guilty.
"She broke our contract". He icily replied.
"Hector, can't you teach me some actual magic now? Haven't I meditated enough!" Alexis gave out a exasperated outburst as she flopped back onto the comfy grass. The sun beamed on her face, and despite the sunshine, rainbows and kittens, she wasn't at all in a good mood."Not until you can control your magic, I heard the prince slapped himself across the face, twice might I add, because of you and if that doesn't show much proof I don't know what will", he had a strong argument so Alexis didn't counter it, instead she chortled as she remembered the princes dumb face.
Alexis felt her heart palpitations quicken as they neared the dinner room. She was walking alongside Dwayne hoping to maybe rush away at any chance, but whenever she thought to, she recalled Hectors glare and held back.They came to the room and the two soldiers who stood at the doors gave her a familiar glance. They didn't stop her this time. They just politely opened the door and she and Dwayne stepped into the strained atmosphere.There was the old pervert, the fancy old lady, the
Daron grit his teeth, a prominent glare on his face. So sharp Lilianna, the first queen, was reminded of him in his younger days, when he was much crueller and still as shallow.She knew the expression well, as it was his face when his pride was injured and that happened so many times to the extremely prideful man. She had once tried to count, but that ended up in him having the same expression when he found out and as a result married the second queen, Elizabeth.He stopped walking
"What? You want me to kiss you?" He asked breaking off her train of thought with a sneer and she frowned in return."Of course not, i was just wonder"-"And yet your cheeks are so red", he scoffed at her and her temper ticked."No- that's because I was surprised. I'd never want to kiss you!" She felt a strange offe
Joshua was smart enough to know what the emperor was playing at. And so he smiled, mischievously."I see. Then let me refresh your memory with Miss Mage", that did it."No!- ahem, we needn't get dirt involved in this", Alastair replied, forcing himself to calm down and not get caught in Joshua's game."Are you sure
Dwayne appeared for every one of Alexis' magic lesson after attending the first one. And he was always uncannily kind despite all her sarcastic remarks. Most people would get fed up and burst, but if she had to give the scumbag a compliment it'd be his sheer determination.She had a hunch about why he kept appearing around, but going by it, it was better he kept showing up."What's the matter Agathus?" Alexis asked as the small man interrupted her lesson. He looked rushed and tired,
Alastair held out his hand and the princess took it, shaking his large hand with a small, soft and fragile one."Such delicate hands", he lifted her hands in his own, "definitely hands that belong to a prestigious lady".Alexis almost had a heart attack.'What the hell is he doing? Why is he flirting with her??!' A
The contract had been signed, concluding that for the next 40 years, Arkala and the Empire will be at good terms with each other. These contracts were quite dangerous as it wasn't a contract signed by royals from two different countries, but by all the citizens. So, in the case where treason were committed then someone would have a painful hand full of blisters.Regardless of the contract being signed, Princess Felicia and the ambassadors decided to stay for the week and news quickly swirled, people spoke rumours about how Arkala wanted to create an alliance with the Empire through marriage. And how the Emperor had fallen in love at first sight with th
