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

Dyane was scared of me, my display of ruthlessness was enough to scare anybody from me but still, it hurts when she flinch away from me, or when she refused to meet my gaze or when I look at her and all I see in her eyes is fear, fear of me and what I am capable of.“She will come around.” Orel said as I glanced at him.“How come you always know when I am worried and the reason by just looking at me?” I complained as Orel laughs.“I told you all your tells, didn’t I?” Orel said with his eyes shining, he was happy. I made him happy.And in return he being happy makes me happy, knowing that I am responsible for his happiness makes me ecstatic. I love him.“You might have but I refused to believe, I am not that obvious.” I whined as Orel laughs.“We are in Northshore lands now.” Gwenn called as we all stopped our horses.“What is going on?” Dyane

“I cannot believe that I slept throughout that confrontation, I would have told him where he can put his many ideas about us in.” Gwenn rages as she paced around the room we were given, a room for 15 persons, it doesn’t matter that the room was big enough.“Talking back to him might earn you a punishment.” I tell her rubbing my eyebrow because of the headache that was coming.“You did and you weren’t punished.” Gwenn pointed out.“Yes I did and I didn’t insult him or tell him to shovel his ideas into his body through the means of his butthole.”“I don’t see why it matters what you say or not, there is no way that he can be influenced into something which he will not like, the best that we can do is list the reason why being allies with us will be in their best interest and also the things we will give up for negotiations.” Orel said as Gwenn shook her head.“He

The wedding took place in less than a week after the negotiations and the mood was like that of a funeral, immediately after the wedding, we left and began our journey to the capital. Dyane started talking to me again and she was the only one, I no longer existed where Gwenn and Orel is, I know that Gwenn understand that it was her duty but she was still too upset to think about it clearly and Orel was angry with me.We got to the capital yesterday after spending two weeks travelling and Orel helped me down my horse after helping Dyane and ignored me in his courtyard while he barked orders to his servants and warriors. I was taken to his room in his home and there I was awake waiting for him to arrive no matter how fatigued I was, he came in, ignored me and went to sleep, I cried myself to sleep that night and this morning when I woke up without him being around. I got dressed in my trousers hoping to train but knowing that I wi

OREL POV“Have you sent a message to Elison?” Gwenn asked me as I continued to look at the documents before me, catching up on what I have missed in the capital so far.“Yes, that was the first thing I did.” I answered her even though I was too distracted to continue working, I knew that I could not face her. I could not deal with the guilt that I caused her to be banished by my own hands, if I haven’t saved Themis, Gwenn would not be leaving very soon.“Orel look at me.” Gwenn said softly but I shook my head. “Why?”“You know why Gwenn, you know.” I rubbed my hands over my eyes tiredly, I missed Themis but I don’t think I can be around her now not after what she did to one of my closest friends because she was jealous, she clearly didn’t trust my words because if she did, she would not have felt the need to remove Gwenn from my side forever.“You need to stop feeling guilty, it wasn’t yo

“The ladies are what?” I asked glancing at Gwenn who brought me the message with unhidden glee. She wanted to crash that tea meeting and I am the only one she could follow.“The ladies are all meeting and excluding you.” Gwenn repeated.“It isn’t my business.” I muttered beneath my breath as I try to calm myself down.“Did I mention that Estrid is there?” Gwenn added with a grin.“Fetch me Dyane to help style my hair, you might want to get ready too, we are going there.” I stated as Gwenn gave a whoop and left the room not minding that I was ordering her.Thirty minutes later, I and Gwenn was walking through the home of Lillian where the meeting was holding, I dismissed all guards and servants around me since I knew the way to the morning room myself.As I got closer I started hearing snippets of conversation. “…maybe we should send another invite.” A voice said the
