OREL POV
This is all my fault, there is no way I could deny this, my future with I was planning with Themis might as well be a mirage because I used my hands to crumble everything that I was building well before. Why didn’t I stay behind yesterday as I beg for her to forgive me not even to understand where I am coming from? Gwenn is like my younger sister but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t act jealous sometimes, I knew that I didn’t punish her when she played her joke on Themis and I can just imagine how these things were placing in Themis mind, I wish she could tell me all her worries on this issue so that I would lay them to rest.
I snorted at that thought. Themis is still too angry to be worried about issues concerning me and Gwenn, I am sure that her only issues right now is to make us suffer in pain or make me suffer in pain while she kills Gwenn, who knew that she had that k

I woke up in a mood worst that the one I went to bed with. I was angry and cranky although I suspect that the crankiness was as a result of not sleeping well which was as a result of Orel not being closed to me, two nights in a row and I am already feeling as if someone is going to attack me in my sleep and nobody will protect me. I know that I should at least try and put everything behind me and get Orel to sleep in his side of the bed this night but my pride would not allow it, if it means that I have to bring up the issue to Orel then I rather have sleepless nights until whenever he deems is right to return to his bed.My mood was rubbing off on Dyane who came to help me get dressed, today I wore one of my finer gowns which not only send across the message that I didn’t want to train today but also sent across the message of my rank which meant that I could order people around which is nice because that is what I plan on doing today.

Two weeks later and so much work that I could choke on it, no talking to Orel and training on my own, I broke down into tears again as I tried to understand what was in front of me, there was nobody to ask for help, normally I would ask my husband but I have barely seen him in two weeks which was mostly my fault since I avoided him like he had the plague. I normally ignored any thought that I have of him but I am weak.“This has gone on for too long.” I said as I stood up, maybe he would be more amendable to treating me as an equal now. I stopped being angry about a week ago when my dreams showed me and Gwenn being close friends even though we didn’t see often, she was married, a queen to an empire and happy in her marriage too, I had a feeling that the marriage will soon occur which was strange since but relaxing, the dream showed me that Gwenn no longer had any designs for my husband. She was just being spiteful at first and she mellowed down

I walked into Gwenn room to see her pouring her annoyance on her possessions by throwing them around. “What is going on here?” I asked her.Gwenn twirled in surprise but when she saw that it was me, a frown was on her face. “None of your business.”I took a deep breathe to calm myself because I wanted to try and make peace with this woman even if it is just for Orel sake. “I might not be able to fight you again and win or to bet you into a pulp but I am the warlord wife and you are a warrior, I can order to have you beaten for disrespect, please lets respect our boundaries.”Gwenn froze at my words before she calmed down. “What I do to my possessions is none of your business.”“True, it isn’t. What is my business is you being remorseful for goading me with your words.” I said.“Are you remorseful for goading me with your words?” Gwenn asked in return as my hands clenched

I watched the last of the warriors that would leave, matched out of the camp, that was the Group that Boan was in, unlike their counterparts that had left, this group had it easy for them, they were going to the capital where some of them will wait for us to arrive before riding out to meet the main army wherever Elison will guide them to. Tomorrow at dawn, Orel, Dyane, Gwenn and me will leave the camp on our own journey along with ten best warriors who will act as guards for us too… well guards for me since I knew that Orel doesn’t need a guard, but we need the numbers. If we were just four traipsing through towns and hamlets, people will be getting the wrong idea that we would be easy to take down and I know that if skirmishes do happen, Orel will not allow any of the offenders to live on.Most times it is easy to forget that I am joined to the warlord, he hasn’t killed anyone in my presence, and he has been nice and caring even though

At Dawn, we left the camp with few people watching us go. The few people were mainly the commanders, I petted Tyra flank and avoided the gust of air that Stormpacer breathed my way. That horse was trying my patience and he is aware of it. It is like our own special game, just as I started to believe in the good of that horse when he helped me out on the first day at the camp. “The horse is trying my patience.” I tell my husband who was watching me with his eyes lazy yet alert eyes.“Hmm.” Was all he replied with and when I growled at his lack of an answer, he grinned at me.“Is that all you are going to say.”“Yes, I know better than to get in between you and Stormpacer bonding.” Orel said as he advanced towards me, I knew that he was coming to help me up my horse so that our journey could start, we have wasted enough time with dallying about.&nb

I thought that Gwenn was joking when she said that we have to reach Rockton, we were with tents and it was late but Gwenn had no plans of stopping, when Dyane pointed out the tents, she laughed and said those were brought along for emergency resting and that this was our first day, we can ride through the night if we must.She seems that she was putting her threats to work. When Dyane fell off her saddle twice, she was put in one of our escort horse with him as she slept on him, my legs were numb and no doubt in pain but although I held out longer than Dyane did but when my eyes started to droop with sleep, Orel plucked me off Tyra and settled me in his front. Riding with Orel is nice, especially when Stormpacer was not running as if he was trying to race against time, but it would be too tiring for Stormpacer to carry double wait and as much as the horse annoy me, I didn’t like to make the horse carry extra weight.“We are clo

Arriving in Brookston took my breath away. The castle of the monarch was in a rock, I didn’t know how it was designed but it looked amazing. Well I thought it did until I saw that the messenger we sent ahead was strung up and almost dying by the gate.“This sign alone if enough to cause war between us.” Gwenn angry voice said beside me as Orel shook his head.“We are about to go to war with an empire, we cannot handle two. So for that reason alone, we will swallow this insult so that we can deal with the bigger evil.” Orel said, his voice just loud enough to reach Gwenn ears but no more.“So we are just going to ignore this insult.” Gwenn fierce voice said as she gestured for our guards to help free the messenger.“Yes we are. For now.” Orel added as Gwenn gave a nod of her head and faced forward again.There were archers on the rock and although their bows were set, all

The next morning, I walked to the morning room where I was supposed to be having tea with the queen consort who was a noble man of his right but didn’t have any say when the queendom is concerned. I was confused about the power dynamics at first but Orel made everything simple for me, the men were used to be ruled by females. Females in this queendom was more ruthless and heartless when dealing with threats than the men and so with traits in females, they have been ruling the empire for centuries, they operated a matricentric society where, everything is done through the linage of the woman. Noble houses followed the woman family tree, even the Queen who came into power with the help of the Dar Empire when another noble house almost succeed in stealing her crown. Orel also informed me that I could not be seen as his wife, I needed to ascertain my superiority here or they negotiations will not go well.“Good you are here, I am L
