The first three months were wonderful, Carmen enjoyed herself in bed with the King. Her confidence increased, she stopped feeling pain but rather felt excited and more open to love making. She stopped waiting for the king to make his first move, rather she made the first move and she enjoyed being dorminant rather than being submissive. Meanwhile in Kineti. Alex was still keeping his focus fixed on his work. He had managed to train over a hundred men. Kineti had strong defenses. "You have been working too hard. I suggest you take a break for a while then return again after a month." King Cyrus suggested."You want me to leave already?" "No. But I do want you to spend more time with your family. I am certain for father misses having you around the house. You are not my slave Alex, but my helper and I care about you and your father." "But my Lord. I always visit my father everyday after work." "Then you return back here instead of sleeping there with him. What if something bad happ
Meanwhile back at Gishon. Fiona was busy tidying up the Queens room, who at the time was attending other duties with the King. A thought came to her. An evil thought. "Darius belongs with me. This girl comes here and steals my Darius away from me.Who does she think she is? I will not allow their marriage to prosper. I will not! Gods forbid, I will not!" She said, in a low yet angry voice. Shiandra the witch was watching from a distance. She could hear all that the woman had said. She was quite amused." Hmmm. I think it is time, the servant and I met face to face." Said the witch. She made her into the house, flying carefully through the window. Fiona was startled, she screamed but her voice could not be heard. Shiandra mumbled a few words, whilst pointing her finger towards the maid.Fiona stood still, unable to move as well as unable to speak. "Do not worry my dear. I am not here to hurt you." Fiona began to show relief. "I have been watching you. I know exactly how you feel
The first few months proved to be difficult for Carmen. She did not enjoy the things she used to enjoy as before. She hated the smell of cooked meat, she loved it raw. She preferred to sleep with one sheet even as her entire body was freezing cold. She would have constant nightmares about losing her unborn baby and these terrified her. The King tried his best to offer her comfort but he saw that it was not enough. One night Shiandra visited Fiona in her room. The maid was surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "I am here to help you." Fiona became upset. "Your help is useless to me. Carmen has not seperated with King Darius!" "Do not speak what you don't know. I am a powerful witch." The maid kept silence. She was neither afraid, not willing to argue. "A Queen without a heir is a shame to the throne, a king without a heir is a fool to the people. You can have the King to yourself if you follow my instructions well." Fiona smiled"Tell me more." She said
Carmen lived in the wilderness for six months. Some of her clothes were torn. Her money all used up. She finally reached the south country, Aota. When she was not fishing for food, she would go on land then hunt for her prey. She even threw a hard rock to a rabbit and it died instantly. She continued to her hunt and killed managed to kill plenty of animals. The former Queen of Fishing, never slept hungry. Though she seemed alone, she was not completely alone. There was someone who was watching her from the distance. It was the vicious witch Shiandra. She was in the form of a bat. Meanwhile in the palace of Aota. The ruler of the country, King Stephen had been lying on bed, suffering from an unknown incurable illness that seemed to not want to leave his body. Nicholas, his half brother entered the bedroom where the King had been laying ill."Brother how do you feel today?" He asked. "I feel worse than yesterday. My body aches. I feel hot and I cannot seem to move my neck without spra
Nicholas as well as the king's warriors had been searching for the King. Then suddenly Gideon found him. He blew a horn to alert the other warriors. "My Lord, you look.." Said Gideon,unable to finish his words. "I look wonderful don't I. You were worried for nothing." Said the king. "We have been searching for you my Lord."The King pat Gideon on his left shoulder, gently. "I am here now. There is no need to worry yourself anymore.""Brother how did you go to the forest in your condition?" Nicholas asked. "I too don't know. The gods must be responsible for this." The warriors looked at each other. "But you could not even walk." "I am healed brother! Isn't that what matters?" "My Lord you look good." Said Gideon. "Thank you." "Did you take some medicine,a herb?" Nicholas asked. "Yes, I ate it." "Where is this herb?" "I ate it. Shall we go to the palace or will you continuously interrogate me with silly questions?" The king asked, irritably. Nicholas became silent. The K
Jordan woke up in the morning as he had said he would. The King's warriors also arrived early in the morning. They entered a ship and began to sail for Noracia.The journey took at least two hours. Jordan was anxious to see his sister again. It had been too long. He had instructed the warriors that had accompanied him to guard the ship instead. He knocked on Emily's door twice. She opened after, surprised to see her brother again. "Jordan!!" She shouted, excitedly. Giving her brother a tight warm hug. "Come in!" She said. The warrior smiled, he himself was happy. "Where is your husband?" He asked. Emily chuckled. "He is at work. But he will arrive soon. You should have sent a letter I could have come there and visited instead. What brings you to Noracia?"Jordan gulped. "I came to take Alex home. Where is he?" Emily was surprised by her brother's response. "Is he in some trouble?" She asked. "Not at all. We need his help back home." "This is his home too and yours." Jordan sm
King Cyrus was glad to hear that Alex would be joining them on their plan of invading Gishon. The King gave the young warrior training ground to conduct his work. The King had managed to recruit at least four hundred young men. Alex began training the first fifty. Meanwhile in Aota. Two days had passed, King Stephen took his horse and rode to the Oak river forest early in the morning, before the sun could even rise. He sat on a rock and waited. Carmen finally arrived, she placed her ship carefully outside the water then tied it to a large tree then hid it with old tree branches that had been laying on the ground. She saw a man on a rock and was startled. She stood behind one of the trees and observed him, he looked calm and innocent. Which meant she was not in any danger. Carmen continued to walk. She passed the man with her head held high hoping he would not speak with her. And if the man would ever speak to her, she told herself that she would ignore him. King Stephen observed Carm
Carmen returned after a few minutes with logs of wood then placed them on the ground carefully. She arranged them accordingly then made a fire using two rocks. The wood ignited. "May you borrow me your sword." She said. The King took out his sword then handed it over to Carmen.She began to remove the skin of the animal. She was quick. "How did you learn to do these thing's?" The King asked. "I read books before. Then taught myself when I arrived in the wilderness. " She said. Carmen inserted the sharp point of the sword in the deers mouth,till the point showed in the other side of the deer. She used logs to balance the deer as the fire burned it thoroughly. Cooking it from within,to the outside. When the meat was cooked. Carmen cut the meat into pieces with sword she was using. She placed it on a clean plastic table she had in her ship. "Eat!" She said. The King was in doubt, but a small taste of the meat tantalized his taste buds. He began to eat."It taste good,doesn't it?"
