Arius
Gwenn was crazy, totally and completely crazy! When Faye distracted me from my sparring session with my brother, Kastav which Gwenn accused of wanting to kill me, I actually thought that maybe Gwenn was wrong about who was going to kill me, it was not going to be Kastav but rather Faye. Well that was my thought until she started to talk about my wife who have a death wish.
On getting there, the brat with no self-preservation in her actually turned to greet me with a smile on her face.
“Gwenn I know that you are angry but this is a little bit out of hand, don’t you think?” I approached her and the council members who were strangely not doing anything to harm Gwenn, I had been on the receiving side of their wrath once, although it was a long time ago, I still remember the hopeless feeling that arose from that experience and how my father waged a war on the council. Kastav mother, after being punished was sent away fr
Arius“You requested to see me, my king.” Soren, the twin to one of the sixteen commander asked after he bowed when he let himself into the hall which I used for official business. Each king decorates the hall to suit his taste but my father decorations were still on the wall. I was not going to do anything about it until it is declared that my father is no more and the people responsible for his demise are brought to justice.The king was wasting away, everybody knew it was only a matter of time before he dies.“Yes I did. You are second in command to your legion right?” I asked Sorens who nodded.“Yes my king, I am the one in charge now since the commander died.” Sorens explains.The right thing for me to do will be to promote Sorens to be the leader of the of his Legion so he would be a commander like his brother has been for the past two years but I am known fo
GwennI thought that I was ready for anything, I thought that I was ready to take whatever the oath was but I was ill prepared.“My queen, please wrap yourself up in this.” The Mareikura which was assigned to me said as she presented me with a thin like shawl.This Mareikura was respectful, I learnt that the trait of Faye was only a characteristics of her as a person, not her friends or the position she held which was a good thing because if there was more than one of Faye in existence at the castle… well when I return, let’s just say that a lot of maidens would have either lost their jobs or their lives. Depending on how annoying they were to me at first glance.“Okay.” I replied in a tiny voice as I took the shawl and wrapped it around me, not like it helped to hid anything since the whole of me was on display.The Mareikura, held me by hand into another chamber and this ch
It’s been two days since that weird pit incidence. Two days since I have been down but according to Arius who spent the entire time with me, I was recovering faster than any commander he has ever seen.He makes it so hard to hate him, who could hate someone who ignored his supposed mistress to take care of a woman who don’t like him, a woman who would do anything than to be in his company.He was being the perfect husband and I hated it because it couldn’t be real. I was not strong enough to complain about it, two days ago but I was certainly strong enough now.While lying on my bed, watching him as he goes about mixing the herbal drink which was created to make an individual gain his strength back, I grew more incensed at his actions.“Stop it.” I tell him.He glanced at me with question. “You don’t want it, it is the best way for you to gain your strength,
Returning back to Northshore made me think of the last conversation I had with my husband. Tingles break out on my skin and they were not the good kind. I was going to face Arius and try my best not to sink a dagger in his eyes when he looks at me and pretend like everything was alright in our world when it is clear that it wasn’t.“My Queen.” Soren’s horse came to canter beside mine as he smiled at me.“Hello Sorens, how many miles remaining before we get to Northshore? We are not following the usual road that leads there so I cannot tell.” I asked, I had being riding with them non-stop for days as we hurried to get back into Northshore. I might be one of them now but I could still feel fatigue. The major reason why I was doing this was so that my legion could return home to their wives and children not because I was in a hurry to return to my ungrateful husband even though he had requested for that.
My head pounding was the thing that disturbed me from my sleep, I struggled to open my eyes and when I did, it was go see a council member face close to mine.The man with Themis hair color eyes widened when he saw my eyes was opened and he scrambled away from me. “Your majesty, her eyes are opened.” He rushed out and within second, his face was replaced with a younger looking face, a shock of black hair that looked like it was painted and if I ran my fingers through it, my hand will come out stained with some of the ink. A well-defined face with enchanting eyes that could leave even the most serious woman who was immune to men, speechless when they rest on the woman.In other words, My husband was leaning over me, with worry in his eyes, worry mostly false and as much as I would hate to prove him wrong that nothing was wrong with me, I couldn’t because my head was like a war drum.When I groaned, His attention cut
I knew better than to wish things would be better, that was just wishful thinking on my part. Wishful thinking because, not only did the side comments begin the minute I sat with them for breakfast that day but because they went ahead and brought Faye to have breakfast with us like she was someone of the same rank.It made me angry but I reined it in and never stopped smiling.Or at least I didn’t until they opened their mouth.“Gwenn, when you left and came back, I thought it would be with a better disposition, I mean. You didn’t say anything to Faye even though she is right opposite you on the table.” Catia said with a smile, the brothers were there watching to see how this would go down.I have learnt earlier on to not bank on any of them to correct their sisters. Their sisters are pet to them and they might not approve of their sisters ways of doing things but they will never side an outsider over
AriusI threw Faye into my room as I shut the door behind me and leaned my face on it, trying to calm myself down. Faye just attacked my wife. I was restraining myself from hitting her. I had to keep reminding myself that I don’t hit women.“My King…” Faye started, her voice teary but I was already passed the stage of her tears moving me.“Tell me Faye, what were you thinking when you attackd Gwenn, she is a fighter and you are not. She was well within her right to kill you abd if you had hurt her, I was well withing my rights to have you banished or killed. What was goi9ng on in your mind?” I roared at her as she shrank back from me.“I am so sorry my king. It was never my intention to try and attack her but with her tone and the way she talked, I just lost control of my mind. She shouldn’t get to have you. she shouldn’t be with you my King. She is not worthy of being called yours.” Faye sobbed.“But she is and your actions were
Kastav“Prince Kastav, I am just a servant. I am not sure that I can help you.” Faye said biting her plump lip, everything the girl does was pure seduction whether she was aware or not. Catia rolled her eyes like she would soon get tired of Faye attitude. That was one of the things which my younger sisters lack, Patience but it was okay. As their elder brother, I was born with an abundance of it and I will use it to protect them.“You know that you are more than that.” I answered her with a smile. “You are a queen, a beautiful damsel. The only one who caught the attention of my brother truly because his wife is just a connection. That is why you are the only one who can help me.”“My Prince, I would really like to but I am not sure how…” Faye started but Catia rolled her eyes.“Listen, I didn’t invite you to seat with us at the table because I liked your face, it is a fine one but you are underestimating yourself. You had all my brothers enthra
