The big hall used for the celebration for the festival of the moon was filled up already with prominent people. Men and women dressed in the finest materials looking effortlessly good and extravagant at the same time.
There were supposed to be twleve governors but because the governor of lake also known as the south was away, there were only eleven governors present for the festival leaving their right hand men to guide their positions till they came back.
Although not everyone were given the opportunity to attend the celebration hosted by the Death lord, they all celebrated in their homes and whenever they were.
Ella sat down on the animal skinned chair as she waited for the Death lord. After some seconds the Death lord appeared looking strikingly handsome
The governor of the east readjusted himself on his seat well after the Death lord had spoken. "It seems non of you thought of anything concerning the Darkards and how to deal with them, right?" The Death lord asked, his words were directed to all the eleven governors of Narlands."Next week, we attack the people of Somia, who among you would take front leads?" The Death lord asked knowing well none of them will answer him. If not that this men were governors already during his late father's regime, he'd have replaced them as they were all useless and incapable of handling the position they were given.He could still remove them but he'd consider the achievement by them in the past.It was only the prime min
While Ella mopped the floor in the Death lord room, she couldn't help but think he was avoiding her. He hadn't said anything to her since she came in and while she greeted and thanked him for last night, he said nothing to her.She sneakily glanced at him while the chief of maids washed his foot. She wondered why his silence affected her a lot, she didn't like it at all.Once the chief of maids left the Death lord room, Ella decided to speak to him. "You been quiet since morning, is something bothering you that we can talk about?" She asked the Death lord although she was nervous within her."No." Came his simple reply."Okay, then why haven't you said anything since morning?" She asked him not believing what he just said.The Death lord kept quiet, he didn't feel the need to answer her questions considering she was the one that put him in this sour mood."Are you still an
"Do you hate me?" The Death lord asked Ella out of he blue. She wondered why he asked her a question like that."We are already pass that, aren't we?" She retorted."Then are you irritated by me?" He askes her. He wanted to know why the thought of them sleeping together or making love as he'd prefer it irritated her."No! Why are you asking weird questions like this!" Ella sighed. The Death lord was starting to confuse her.The Death lord never believed in fairy tales neither did he believe that love could make a man meek. Although he acted tough and fierce with every other person in this world, with Ella he was a different human being. Whenever he spoke to her, he always made sure to say words that won't hurt her feelings, he puts her first always.He was slowly falling in love with Ella and hearing that she was irritated by what people said about them together hurt him.
"This is wrong!" Ella saied. She turned around to back Francis. She remembered the kiss they shared earlier, she loved it yet she hated it. If she hadn't snapped out of it, she would have given herself to him.She had gotten to confirm what the other women all spoke about, the Death lord had his ways of making ladies squirm around him."This is right," The Death lord said."No. It's wrong," Ella retorted."What makes you say think so?" Francis asked. He turned Ella around so both of them would be looking at one another. "Tell me that kiss meant nothing to you, tell me you felt nothing from that kiss, tell me you didn't like it at all," Francis said, his eyes never leaving Ella's for once.Ella's heart begam to beat faster once again, she felt shivers from Francis touch. She couldn't look him in the eyes to tell him she didn't like it.As much as she'd love to deny it, she
"I shall announce the final verdict.The eleven governor are to be killed by three o'clock pm which is less than two hours from now." The wives and children of the eleven governnors gasp. They knew their father and husbands wouldn't survive but yet, they wished they would."My Lord please forgive us!" The governor's begged but their cries were not heard."Take them to the blue garden and tie then to the log until the time for their death reaches," The Death lord ordered."Yes my Lord!" The men said, dragging the eleven governnors off of their feet to the blue garden.The crowd dispersed, while the wives and children's of the eleventh governors wiped.
Ella could not speak because she couldn't say she hadn't kissed the Death lord. He kissed her a minute ago and she let him touch her like a fool."Speechless are we?" Lola asked with sarcasm. "it's obvious you wouldn't be able to speak because the Death lord has slept with you but I am curious about something though..." lola trailed off."After three fuck, the Death lord get rids of the lady but he hasn't gotten rid of you yet, which proves our theory of you using voodoo true!" Loa deadpanned.Ella wiped the tears in her eyes. No matter what she said to them, they wouldn't believe her. "I'm done trying to understand you guys," Ella said sniffing a little. She was done trying to to be friends with them when all they did was criticize her. She wasn't going to force it anymore and she'd make sure to
All twleve generals of Narlands stood up from their seat to welcome the Death lord once his presence was noticed. Bowing their heads, they welcomed him, waiting for him to take his seat before they took theirs."What are the plans for the attack?" The Death lord asked as soon as they were settled down. Cyprus began to explain to him.After hearing the plans from Cyprus, the Death lord cleared his throat, "General of the south," The Death lord called. The general of the south worked directly with the governor of the south. He came back ahead to join the other generals in attacking Somia."Yes my Lord!" The general of the south answered."You will return back to the land of Darkards with some Soilders to join the governor of the south. Never under
Ella walked through the dark pathway that led to her room. She wondered why the power was shut down all of a sudden.Walking steadily, she could hear footsteps from behind her making her startled and worried, She walked in a slow pace with wary, her ears trying to figure out where the sound was coming from.Her ears flared up in wary once she heard heavy footstep coming towards her, her eyes glancing swiftly at her environment. Just when she turned around to see who was following her, a cloth was placed on her nose; as she sniffed the cloth, she dozed off.
