Chapter 6

❤️ Broken Promise (Part 1) ❤️

"Unless you make it not too hard for the girl to pull out whenever she wants." Amaya told him. "That can only be the explanation behind this."

Still finding it hard to believe. "I didn't make it easy for her, you know me, I would have told you that night."

"If you didn't then how come she carried your Golden spear?"

"I will find out the answer."

"You are planning to pay her a visit, right?"

"Yes, besides, apart from that night we haven't crossed the Werewolves kingdom but u will be going there to see if what you said about her is true," Dark said and Amaya smiled. "Leave, I need to think without disturbance."

"Dark, if you ever need someone to talk to, just know that I am one step behind you. I am always here to listen."

"Leave Amaya."

Amaya quietly left the room leaving Dark to his thoughts.

Hobgoblin Kingdom:

Raziah screamed out in rage when no more arrows were shot. Staring at the place the demons were before made her start growling.

Destroying the first demons had made her think Dark, wherever the hell he is, will come out to confront her but she got none. Now a few years later another set of demons had come out to attack and someone somewhere had made sure she got no lead to where the man she wanted to drive her sword into his beating heart.

One day, just one day, Dark will come out from the hole he is hiding.

"My horse." She didn't need to repeat or say the words aloud when some Hobgoblin hurried up to bring the horse to her. Taking the reins forcefully from the male Hobgoblin, nearly scratching off his skin from his fingers. She climbed her horse, and without another word and gallop out of there faster.

"Well at least she kept to get own end of her bargain," the Queen of Hobgoblin said as Raziah was soon out of her sight. She turned and returned to her chamber. Her handmaid rearranging her hair. The only light coming from the room was from her candle at a corner of the room. "I wonder why she is angry instead of her rejoicing that she succeeded in killing the demons that I paid her for with my money and kingdom." she added.

"Maybe she is angry at whoever killed those demons she had spared." her handmaid chips in.

"True but I am glad that out problems has been solved." The Queen of Hobgoblin said, resting her head on the pillow and doze off. Her handmaid finished rearranging her hair and left the room silently.

The Wolf Kingdom:

The only time her horse came to an absolute halt was when she reached the palace.

One of the guards quickly took her horse reins from her as she walked angrily inside. Dropping her spear on the ground, the guards around will pick it up and take it back to where it is being kept.

She immediately went to the dining area and sat down at the head of the table. Some servants came to serve her food.

No one spoke or made a noise, they could see that she was in a bad mood.

Five minutes later, Barwolf and his three wives all made an appearance and each went to sit on the chairs available at the table. No one said anything as they watched Raziah eating. The only noise coming from the dinning room was the clattering of her spoon on the plate.

Her dark eyes slowly replace the violet ones.

 

Raziah had made the rules for them to always be present whenever she was eating, failure to do so, would result in punishment. DEATH.

At first they had thought she was joking until she killed Sari, the fourth wife of Barwolf, mercilessly in front of them. Ever since then they never fail to show up. And Raziah is always fond of eating late, probably to punish them or to force them into breaking her rules so that she could hurt them. They noticed hurting them always brings smiles to her face.

"How did it go? Were the demons able to come?" Barwolf asked, breaking the silence that had engulfed them. Barwolf waited and waited for Raziah to respond but got none. He sighed slowly waiting for her to finish eating so that he could go back to his bed.

"You want to know if they succeeded in killing me, right?" Raziah asked and drank water and kept the cup at the table and stared at her father coldly. "Too bad, it didn't happen and it can never happen. They were not a match for me." she added proudly.

"I didn't mean that Raziah. I was just trying to b-" he didn't get to complete his words before she Interrupted him.

"When do you think Dark will pay us a visit?" Raziah asked.

"Were the demons sent by him?"

"Was that the question I asked you?"

"I'm sorry Raziah," Barwolf apologized to his daughter. "Dark comes whenever he wants at any time. We should pray that he never visit this kingdom again."

"I want him to come. He has to come. He should come, I have been waiting for him for a very long time. It is very wrong to keep me waiting." Raziah said and stood up to her feet and left the dining room without another word.

"If only you were content with me, we wouldn't be in this mess," Faith (Barwolf first wife) said. "I married a King but I didn't know that in the future he would be reduced and given a lowly position. If not that your daughter had threatened me I would have left you the day she defeated you." she added.

"You are not the only one on this boat Faith," Kate said and Ama nodded her head in support.

"Don't remind me of what I had forgotten."

Unknown Place:

"Isn't it time yet. She is grown up now." a woman's voice could be heard. Her hair was purely white. "I need what was given to her and Dark. It belongs to me."

"Not yet, just be a little bit patient. We need Dark to commit a mistake to have the girl on our side, remember the plan." A man's voice could be heard. He was covered in dark mist , his whole body wasn't seen.
