"Place this man in the dungeon. He shall face execution tomorrow night! " The Queen commanded. The warrior's did as they were told. Nicholas would not escape judgement now, Carmen thought. "Grab the body and prepare a burial for this man " the King commanded. "What about his family my Lord?" Carmen asked. The King commanded the remaining warrior's to inform Gideon's family of his passing and how he died. But those that knew him, did not find his family in all of Aota. "Then a burial will be done for him here at the palace." Said the King. Carmen knew the one person who was close to Gideon, who knew exactly where he had hidden his family. It was Alex. "Do not bury the man yet, I will bring his family tomorrow." Said Carmen. "But how? You did not even know Gideon that well, let alone his family!" Said the King. "But I know someone who does." "Who?" "I cannot tell you that. Unless I want that person to die too." King Stephen allowed his wife to search for Gideon's family. Ca
She did as commanded.Everyone was able to eat and when to sleep. Days passed and still no one could find Nicholas anywhere. On the tenth day of their search. Nicholas went to visit Shiloh. "Nicholas I thought you were dead." Said Shiloh with tears in her eyes. "May I come in?" Shiloh made a way for her lover to enter. She then locked the door. "Where is the little man?" "Kevin is at school." Said Shiloh."Wonderful." Nicholas moved closer to his lover and began to undress her, while giving her small kisses on her neck. "Is it true?" Shiloh asked. "What is?" "Did you really kill Gideon?" "Gideon died by his own fault." Shiloh pulled herself away from Nicholas. "His own fault?" She asked in a sharp tone. "Yes." Nicholas explained how Gideon died. "But to kill him." "Forgive me my love. It was a mistake." "How did you escape the dungeon?" "Someone helped me." "Who?" "A woman." "Does she have a name?" "My love you really do not have to be worried about how I escape
A trip to Kineti was not long. King Stephen was glad to see his daughter. "I received your letter. Did you miss me that much?" Carmen asked. "You're my daughter. I miss you always. But there is a matter of importance I'd like to discuss with you." Said the King. "Which matter?" The King took three breaths before speaking. "Many years ago, the woman that I loved left me to pursue her work. She was a warrior and was needed by the King of that time. She left and I was all alone." "You never told me you once loved a warrior, especially a woman." The king smiled. "I wish it were that simple to explain. But love comes naturally, for me it did. The war ended but the woman I love did not return,infact all the warrior's and people were thought to be dead. The country itself was thought to be cursed. That the people died from it's curse." "Which country was that?" Carmen asked. "It was Gishon. The ruling King at that time died,but his son lived. He took his father's throne when he was
Carmen was overwhelmed with anger that night,she slept in another room alone. When it was morning. Carmen sent a letter of invitation to Alex, his relatives, Rita,Martha and King Stephen. To hear the king's confession. They all arrived as soon as they received the letters. Carmen as well as her guests sat around the dining room table, while the King stood up giving his confession. When he was done. Carmen commanded him to sit down. "Why would you allow your brother to take the fall from your evil doings?" Emily asked. "I never loved my brother. I always thought he was trying to do better than me." Said the King. "And how do we know that you are telling the truth and not just covering up for your brother?" Alex asked. "Because that is not something I would do."said the King. Carmen sobbed. "What kind of a man are you? I thought you were a good person." Said King Cyrus, surprised. "I wish I was that good man but I am not. My brother was." "Tell us. What is the reason behind
The warrior's did so. The crowd departed. Nicholas finally arrived at the palace. "My lady. I came as soon as I heard the news. I am certain you are looking for answers." He said. Alex drew out his sword and placed it on Nicholas's neck. "Have you come here to cause trouble or have you come here to tell us the truth?" He asked. Nicholas knelt down, with tears rolling down his cheeks. "Who really tried to kill Alex,you or your brother?" Carmen asked. "I only did it to protect you as well as the throne. My brother did a mistake. He was only envious and did a horrible mistake." Said Nicholas. "So you do admit that he tried to kill me?" Alex asked. "He did, yes. But only because he was jealous. He regretted it later. He told me he was sorry. He told me he did not mean to do it. I told him I would take the blame. I was just an advisor. He was the King, a good King of a good reputation. He had to continue with our father's legacy." Said Nicholas.Alex removed the sword from Nichola
Nicholas travelled to Noracia later that day. He was welcomed in as he was King. The house of Kish was considered a very private area, only King's and queens were allowed in. The floor was of painted sandstone, the walls were of marblestone. The ceiling of metal steel painted in white. There walls had potraits of all the young ruler's that ever sat on the throne before. Nicholas was led to the throne room where Princess Ashah and Prince Uzriel sat each on their throne chairs made of glass. Ingrid had her own chair as well but it was on their far left it was made of leather. The walls were white with black and gold decoration. Princess Ashah wore a white evening dress, with a gold belt as well as a gold crown. Prince Uzriel wore a white formal trouser and a white blazer with gold decoration on the sleeves as well as a gold crown. Ingrid wore a long white blazer dress with gold buttons. That was the attire of the royal house of Kish. "Greetings King Nicholas of Aota country, what br
Meanwhile in Aota. Shiandra went to the office where Nicholas was. “A guest I do not need right now. What do you want?” Nicholas asked. “I can sense a danger and I should warn you that something is happening.It might cause harm to the both of us.” Said Shiandra. “Your life revolves around danger. You never ever seem at ease. You always say something to keep me worried, when I should be happy. Take a glass of whiskey and relieve some of that pressure from your mind.” said Nicholas, placing his feet on the table. “You think being us is a game don’t you. We cannot make a mistake and forget ourselves. We are vampires, not human. Which means we can be sensed by other vampires out there. And I can sense a vampire coming our way.” said Shiandra. “That is a good thing. I need to stretch my muscles and see how good of a fighter I am now that I am a vampire.” said Nicholas, with an evil smirk on his face. “I don’t think she is as weak as you think.” “Oh now you know that the creature is
The following day, Nicholas arrived at the palace. "We really need a new cook now. I am starving." Said Carmen. "Then hire one." Said Nicholas walking off. "Wait! You had me worried last night where were you?" "With my woman. Please don't make it a habit to ask where I go I am not your husband." Said Nicholas. Walking away. Carmen stood there embarrassed. Nicholas sat in the office then began to finish off his work. Carmen joined him and finished off her work. Alex was busy recruiting more men to become warrior's.
