Thirty five
I had not left Arius side since the news of his father’s death reached him. They don’t take long in hold their funerals and when the death is brutal or a forbidden type which was the killing of someone defenselessly, which the king certainly was, it takes a new dimension in quickness. Within Twelve hours, the pyre was set and the rites were read. The mood was somber and I took my place among other commanders of the army, I learnt that the commanders were always around the palace unless being sent on missions for the king.
I was standing there, paying my respects to the king but Arius came and yanked me to his side which was the very front of the small crowd gathered to honor his father and pay their last respects before saying goodbye to the King before he starts his journey to the afterlife.
“Your place is with me, my queen. You are not just a commander or a foreigner, you are now the queen, start acting like it.” He growls at me and because

“What are you saying Silana?” I asked her as my heart thumped in my chest. There was no way in which she could be right, snow doesn’t fall in Northshore but I do know that following the time frame and all, Snow would have just melted and the baby would still be tiny, why would they start travelling now? Yes I knew that I was important to them as I am their family just like they were mine but I still didn’t see it as enough reason for them to take the risk which they would take if they were here.“Themis, the lady with the completely white hair and old eyes, eyes that look like they can peer right into your heart and Orel. The man who is cradling a small Miniature version of him, at least the black hair matched, with the fiercest face and an angry scowl on his face unless when he looks at the child or his white lady. Those two people. You know them right?” Silana asked and I nodded, speechless. “They are in the hallway, on their way to the throne room, th

Gwenn“What are you going on about?” I asked Themis even though I had an idea of what she was referring to. I already suspected that me being the golden queen was going to be nerve wrecking but I never expect the whole world to be in danger.Themis shook her head with a sad smile. “It is not yet time for you to know, you will know when the time is right.” She answered.“I still cannot believe that Gwenn didn’t miss me.” Orel murmured as I couldn’t help but smile.And as usual, I ran to Orel and hugged him with my legs wrapped around his waist. That was my typical greeting for him and Eli… the then Elison right from when we were young.“I miss you, brother.” I said as I held on to Orel while tears ran down my face, I was tired of being alone and now, I was glad that I was not alone. That I was my family even if it will be a short time before they had to go back home.“I miss you too, Gwenn.” He replied as he kissed my hair.&

Dinner that evening was something else but at least Catia, Vala and Vestia had enough preservation spirit in them to keep their mouth shut for the first part. I had almost thought that Arius warned them, including consequences of what their words and actions might mean for them but then again, when Sorens entered the room and smiled at me before sitting, it proved too much for them.“How long are we going to continue enduring the presence of this person at our table?” Vala started wrinkling her nose to show her distaste for the situation.“Vala, please Father was just laid to rest, don’t start up with this.” Severa begged, I honestly don’t know how she and Silana managed to share the same father with the rest of their siblings, they were the only good ones out of the whole lot.“Exactly, I just lost my father, I am grieving. There should not be something that will stress me out or make me mad right now. Queen Gwenn…” She started.“The next w

Kastav PovPissed off was a word which didn’t describe the way I truly felt, it was not enough and I was basically fuming, when I saw Sorens while I was in my mist form again, I didn’t think of it and I continued to my room, as soon as I entered and shut the door, I threw my table at it in anger.How dare he pull the Yama card on me? Father has been dead for less than a week and he was already wanting to punish Catia, Who gave him that right?It didn’t matter that Catia was a little out of line but then again when is that girl not always out of line besides, it was the foreigner’s fault. They all were exactly the same, Gwenn, Themis all of them, none of them had a right to be here in Northshore and be talking about issues which doesn’t concern them. Catia life was not related to Themis concern at all.

Gwenn pov I wanted to take Orel and Themis for sightseeing but my plans were way laid. Well, it was not like I was the one who was going to take them to all the places they needed to see and explain the places to them. No, that was the job of Sorens who was going to come along with me.Getting up and hearing that Themis, Orel and Elison had already left for the tour was annoying enough but what was even more annoying was the news that I had to go and see my husband. He was the last person I wanted to see.I didn’t trust myself to be in the same place as him and not attack him for what he did and now, I had no choice. The people who I would have used as a buffer has already started their tour around and I know Orel will be bored out of his mind. That is if he was not still angry about the evening before.I still couldn’t believe that Catia tried to kill Themis, until I see that girl, she hiding behind her brother is not going to cut t

“Hey Gwenn.” Faye marched up to me as I was in the courtyard, working on my extra energy, hoping to tire myself out before Orel comes and that this feeling of sadness would be gone by then. I knew that if Orel continued to see me sad, his relationship with his wife was going to suffer, afterall Themis was the person who made a deal with Arius about the marriage.Themis had promised me that it was the right course of action for me but the problem was that, even months later, after the war, it was not still seen. Was her vision wrong for the first time since forever? I wouldn’t even blame her for it. Something about me always make this kind of stuff to happen.Maybe this was the best possible way for me to be less miserable but Themis saw it as happiness. Afterall my mother could not be wrong. When she told me how women in our family were never happy in life, she had stories of our ancestors, dating a long way back to prove her point. I should have never believ

Arius Pov.I was still reeling from Gwenn words and teary face when she left my office minutes ago when a Nisse ran in without knocking.“What’s wrong?” I asked her and she pointed in the direction of the courtyard used for practicing, I turned back to look at the Nisse in confusion.“Your queen is there and she was provoked by the council members and she started whipping them and she is glowing golden I think.” The Nisse said as my eyes widened as her words sank in. I rushed out with the Nisse footsteps sounding besides me and when I got to the courtyard, I saw a crowd watching the scene before them.“Gwenn.” I called.“Don’t.” She answered me. Her voice was not normal but it was strange from the usual we always used. That one was filled with other loud voices. Voices of past ancestors, Warriors that fought for Northshore, Hers rang high, including just one other woman, a woman whose steel could still be felt ev
