We got back to the settlement close to night, there was still enough light for Dyane to take her bath and wear a new dress, she was shocked when Orel chose the clothes for her instead of the jewelries and when she asked me why, I told her that it was because if Orel brought me another piece of jewelry again, I might be tempted to take his head off with my new pair of swords.
When she was done bathing, her skin glisten in the candle light inside the tent. And I told her so “The color of your skin is amazing.” She shrugged bashfully.

“I would like to give you materials for your herbs but my husband is not too comfortable with you around medicine y

I froze then slowly turned to him. “A man is almost dead and time of the essence and you are asking me that?” My tone was incredulous.“Yes.” Orel replied while I glared at him but the glare did not work.“If you don’t answer me quickly, not only his life is at danger. As time goes by, I am threatened to ride into the capital and kill a lot of people because this is clear that the snake was sent by someone who hates me. It is too rare to be seen here. Those things only grow in one place and I assure you that the place is far from the Dar Empire.”“The person don’t have to hate you, the person just need to be against your bride…” I whispered softly as Orel snorted.“Any harm to you is a harm to me, everybody knows this. You are my wife, my weakest link. Only those who seriously despise another goes after his wife. The person who did this just became my greatest enemy.” Orel explained passionate

The messenger arrived in front of the merchant king home and refused to enter the house, requesting for the merchant king and when the merchant king arrived, the messenger then requested for his wife who came out too after much protest.The merchant king was confused about why the messenger didn’t want to enter his house but thought that he wanted to go back to the camp settlement as soon as possible, when his wife came out and he saw how pale she was. He started to suspect that something else was going on.“Warlady Themis, asked me to gift you this item, she wanted you to see it in your husband presence.” The messenger said as Lord Cale relaxed. It was just a gift.His wife was reluctant to open the package. “Be fast, I am sure that the messenger is in a hurry to leave, he would still be here to take your message of thanks back to the Warlady.” He snapped at his wife who slowly unwrapped the gift. What she saw made

OREL POVWe got back to the my major army section, the place where I mainly spend most of my year, it was home for me, my tent was bigger here than in the temporary settlement closed to the capital and it was more luxurious, I have a feeling that Themis was going to like this place much, I turned to look at my wife to see her looking weary, she is not used to being in the saddle for long and she kept on rubbing her eyes and gripping the reins of Tyra so tight as if that was the only thing keeping her on the saddle, I watched her as she got the first look of my army, her eyes widened in shock and then became shuttered as if it was at this exact moment she was realizing the extent of the power I have as the warlord of the Dar empire.I came down from Stormpacer saddle as I slapped his flank and he raced off to the stables where I am sure that he had missed his space, I walked to Tyra and helped Themis to come down from her saddle alth

OREL POVAs soon as I got to Elison tent, he spoke to me. “Did she even know what she did?”“My guess is no. she didn’t know that she just saved us months of haggling back and forth with people who weren’t going to help us.” I replied quietly. I had made sure that Themis was asleep before I left her in our bed to come to Elison tent to discuss what she unknowingly did earlier that day.“We have to know the extent of her gift.” Elison voiced“And how do you suggest we do that, she hasn’t given us a reason to question her about what she knows and do I need to remind you that it hasn’t been long since the Dar Empire left the archaic way of killing people with gifts less than hers. She will be suspicious and will clam up and that will make it harder for us to see her slip.” I explained.“Cannot we do something, anything about this? We could show her what this is and explain what she has done for u

Orel left the bed yesterday night.I don’t know how I knew of this but I knew it was true, I wondered what he left the bed for but I didn’t say anything as he kissed my nose this time and told me that I will meet him at noon so that we could spend time together and that what happened yesterday will not take place today since he had informed everybody in the camp of my status, then he ordered me back to sleep.I slept with a smile because I was getting used to him, with his mood and attitude, normally if it was someone from my tribe trying to pull such a stunt on me by ordering me around, I would have retaliated and it would not have been nice but with Orel, he made me feel safe with his actions, like I was cherished and well-loved although I know better than to give my heart to anybody. Including my husband, my thinking would be warped and centered on him that I will not be able to make the

Within the hour I saw Gwenn, I was back in my tent, lying on the bed and feeling sick. I would like to blame everything on my encounter with Gwenn but I knew it wasn’t that after all, she didn’t have that much power over me even though I wanted nothing more than try to take her head off.No, what was happening was all me, my body was reacting just like the way, my mother linage always react whenever their visions was trying to warn them of something. Not really like a vision but I could not explain it, after living all my life with this gift of sight, it still manages to leave me fumbling for words to describe what was going on. It was still related to the visions but this was more like a feeling or knowing, that something was going to happen and I had the power to change it if I wanted to.The feeling, I was getting was a bad one and I wanted to change it. I signed as my guard called for me from outside the tent, I

The night was not funny at all.A huge storm rolled in when me and Orel were already in bed and it was so bad that some tent were being ripped out of their location.Orel was called to help and for me not to be alone, Dyane was escorted to my tent where we both sat silently as we waited for the storms to be over, there was not much Orel could do at that moment other than to minimize the damage being done.The rebuilding will be done after the storm but that was not what plagued me. What plagued me was the fact that there were warriors caught out in the rain and they must be very weary, with a storm like this, not all would return. I had already started my mourning of them.“My lady, the warlord will be okay.” Dyane said when she noticed my tears.I shook my head as I answered her “You would not understand.”

“Nothing.” Orel said confused.“You must have done something, since I am sure that you are the only one in the camp who can make her cry.“I didn’t do anything.” Orel said again as he moved away from his friend looked close to punching him, he approached me slowly and reached out to me as if I was a frightened little lamb. When I didn’t shy away from his touch. He gathered me into his laps as he petted me while more tears fell from my eyes.“What happened?” Orel asked my with his voice the gentlest I have ever heard it.“Nothing.” I replied as I made efforts to stop the tears from still flowing.“Then why are you crying.” Elison asked as Orel aimed a glare at him.“Because I am scared that I will lose Orel.” I sobbed as I wrapped my hands tightly, around Orel felling that this will be the last time that I will be able to touch him this way.“Why wil
