Forty seven
I was silent as I watched Dyane touch and prod parts of my body. At first I was not, after she had given me water and I could talk without my throat feeling like a knife was being sharpened at it, I told them as the attack and what happened. Elison left to give orders and spread the news that I was finally awake. Now he is back in the tent, seated beside me as Dyane carry out her examination on me.
“What has been happening?” I questioned Elison who looked away.
“You need to rest” he finally said when I asked him the question again and it became obvious that I will not leave the issue alone.
“I need to know what is going on in my husband camp” I argued.
Elison looked torn and when he glanced at Dyane who shook her head not wanting Elison to say anything I added. “Please, it is better I know. If I don’t, my mind will make up situations worse than what is going on.”

My days are plagued with leading and making decisions for the army, my nights are cursed with me dreaming about Orel torture, I wake up screaming and struggling against Elison hold. He took a guard post outside the tent at night while I sleep to protect me not only from my nightmares but from anybody who wanted to harm me too. I was barely hanging on to my sanity. The only reason why I could still function was my unborn child.“Lady Themis, are you listening to me.” Elison voice jarred my consciousness back to my current location, which was listening to what Elison was saying about the commanders we needed to inform that Orel was with the enemy and he isn’t listening to my suggestion of not inviting anybody to contest my rule for the main time. “I am sorry, what did you respond me with?”“I said that it was best they hear the news from us than from other commanders, it will not endear you to them when they learn that you a

“Why are we been treated like animals?” The chief of the village roars in anger.“Cause you will soon die like one.” I replied in a soft tone that immediately stopped the murmurs raising from the crowd that was gather, I looked to Elison who was standing beside other commanders with his arms folded like he was barely restraining himself from killing those people in the circle of guards who were tied together and from the looks of it, they have also been roughly handled. That brought a smile to my face which I am sure made me look sinister.“Themis.” The chief barks out my name.I nodded at the warrior who was holding a whip and facing the villagers to prevent them from coming closer to those tied up. Like a flash of lightening, he spun on his heels and crack the whip on the chief back then turn back to face the crowd. Cries of outrage

The meeting the next day was tensed. I didn’t know if it was because Gwenn was back or because she included a Northerner. The army commander she had said and now, there was silence in the war council tent.“It isn’t right that another commander should be present in the war council. This is a disgrace… it is a…” a commander said, the same commander who has been very loud about his opinions of where my place was, which according to him was warming Orel bed and not standing in his stead.“It is an honor since this commander will be leading his army to join ours in any fight that will occur.” Gwenn said dismissing the commander rants.“This should not be done, it isn’t right?” another said as Gwenn levelled her glares on them.“I have had it with your complaints are if you are noblemen and not warriors. Orel might not be around but he is still the warlord… he never allowed this behavior in his pre

When dawn finally reached, I stood up from my bed and turned to face him, I didn’t sleep a wink after the incident but he didn’t know that, it took the man some time to raise his head to meet my gaze. And when he did, his eyes were filled with fury.“I hope that you have gathered your strength because the next few hours will be torturous to you.” I said to him.“I will kill you bitch, so you can join your husband in death.” He spat out with venom in his tone.“Okay but that will be a long time seeing that my husband is not yet dead, but I should tell you. Before you make good of your threats know that Orel will kill you when he comes back. As from the moment you tried to do what you did yesterday. You started to live on borrowed time.” I said to him as I changed my clothes, I could not bring myself to wear the sheath of my swords so instead I held it in my arms and left the tent wi

“It has been a week since you last saw commander Elison, Lady Themis. Don’t you think it’s about time you sit down and discuss this issue between you two before others start to take notice and then think that you are defenseless?” Dyane asked me, once again I was hiding with her by spending more time with her these days, time that I didn’t have, time that I would have used to do something better.“They would have attacked either way if they wanted to. Alson attacked me.” I breathed out. It was during Dyane treatment of the commander who manhood I removed that I finally learnt the name of the man.“Alson was a special brand of craziness. If he had used his gods given sense, he would have realized that his reasoning was off. There was no way, he would have escaped if anything happened to you. Now others might plot and maybe succeed this time in their plots to dispose of you. You and your protector ar

GWENN POV“What the hell do the two of you think were you playing at?” Elison growls as he enters Themis tent to see Themis sleeping peacefully and I glared at him for not using his inside voice, I stood up from where I was sitting which was beside Themis on the bed where she was sleeping.“What the hell do you think you were playing at, coming into her tent with no warning and shouting that way?” I answered him with my own questions.“You two made me that way, why on earth will you blow the horn we use for emergency at war and made me think that something had happened to one of you, I was scared and worried.” Elison asked heatedly running his hand through his hair and face.“Something did happen.” I replied as Elison glares at me.“Really, something happened, Themis is in there sleeping peacefully and you are in front of me, acting catty as usual, I don’t see anyt

Themis Pov“How come I was not aware of this?” I asked when Elison, Gwenn and I were taken to the Erisean who returned Orel to them.“You were so concerned about Orel and so relieved afterwards that no other thoughts entered your mind.” Dyane said as I nodded my head, what Dyane said was the truth and I was extremely glad I saved the Spy when my instincts told me to, regardless of what Gwenn wanted.“Free him.” I ordered.“Pardon.” Boan questioned in shock.“Release him, and reward him and also thank him and ask him what next step he is willing to take.” I added as Boan blinked repeated like he could not believe the order which he was being given.“I am sorry but Lady Themis, you cannot be serious. His Kinsmen are who we are fighting outside.” Elison said and Boan breathed a sigh of relief.“I am well aware of the fact that h
