Sword of blood Chapter 30
“When the stones begin to speak, be wary of the opinion of the digger”Xanthanius I was yet to have my seat when the door was opened.“You sent for me?” Anthonier’s voice was as exhausted as he looked. Ever since that night, he and I had been throttling around every thing that seemed relevant to solving our mystery.It involved sleepless nights of reading and decoding. Internally, I hated that I was putting him through this mess.“First of all, do you know if the message got to Granj and Hilra that she has woken up?” Finally sitting down at the head of the table. We were in the Townsend meeting room.“I am aware of that of Hilra because we were together when the messages came. What I can not certify is that of Granj but I trust the guard to deliver it appropriately. How did you know she was awake?” He occupied the seat to my right so it would be easier for us to discuss.“I was with her”And despite the tension of the season, Anthonier still found a way to smirk at that statement. “

“Oh darling, there is an adage which says thus ‘He who laughs last, must surely laugh best’”MarinaMy throat felt so dry, like I had fallen asleep in the middle of a desert with my mouth wide open.I tried to cough but it only came out as an airy huff with little effort.“She’s awake, get her a glass of water” I heard an unfamiliar voice say. The sound of feet shuffling after her instructions could be heard loud and clear.I tried to open my eyes but I was way too tired. It was another strenuous activity on its own. I could not even lift myself up.The feeling of being drained washed all over me with a little mix of a tingly sensation flowing through my belly. Still in my position, cold hand tilted my head upwards and pressed a glass to my lips. The water was chilling as I drank but it was as satisfying.It appeared that was all I needed, as I fell asleep afterwards.Later on…The first thing I noticed was the steady beating of my heart. I opened my eyes and found myself in an unfam

“Let the countdown begin”Xanthanius I fought against a lot of internal restraints to wake the lady up myself and ask her what had transpired.Anthonier noticed what I had been looking at and I’m certain he saw what I had.It could not be. Was the blade stolen? Was this a replica?I looked back at the mistress who was being nudged to consciousness by Hilra and Xialara. Remembering the sword had fallen from her hand when I got here.She had held it and there was no barrier between herself and its material.My brain ceased to understand anything at this point. I checked the gem again to be certain there was no chances of the blood leaking out. Even if it had, I could not tell with all the blood that painted the spans of this room.I could not tell where the mistress’s blood ended and where the attackers own had begun.Lifting the sword again to be sure it was an actual weapon and not the faux one I had kept in my office. The weight was accurate but it suddenly felt numb.What had happ

“Nothing you do, nothing you say, can change destiny”Xanthanius I felt this awkward wave of heat flush through my body and my mind became a blur of energy and emotions.Out of the blues, I suddenly needed a release.“I would be in my chambers. If anyone needs me, tell them to not” I said to Xialara and heard her laugh before walking away.What the fuck was happening?It made no sense. I was perfectly fine for the most of this evening, how did I develop an uncontrollable sexual urge? What did I miss?Anthonier brushed past me almost too fast that I wondered how I did not see him approaching.“And where do you think you are going?” I tried to guess whom he had said those words to but could not, so I turned.It had been Nerida. She had been following me.In that moment, the entire picture became clear. The only off thing I had taken today was the glass of wine I foolishly accepted from Nerida and now I had the need to rip someone’s clothes off.She had put an aphrodisiac in my glass. I

“Be still, you shall hear the melody”MarinaMy room was relatively dark and I did not want to turn on the lights because I would be in bed soon.So I remembered seeing a cup of scented beeswax candle in one of my drawers. Deciding to have a bath first before lighting it up, I went further into the room.The moonlight was usually more than enough to keep my room brightened. Some of it fell across the zinc roofing of the stables and reflected into the space, so lighting at night was not a problem.Today was no different, though the night was slightly darker, I could still see.I dropped my untouched glass of wine on the dresser. The ruby colored gem in the head of the sword glistened under the natural light, reminding me of its presence which I dutifully ignored. I grabbed a towel from my walk in closet and stripped out of my overt clothing. Years ago I would have dreamed of being in this outfit but tonight it was uncomfortable. The thigh chain and every other jewelry came off next.

“Good cheer, great cheer. Bad fear, worse fear”MarinaThe Prince of Rekal was quite exquisite. A touch of class with a dash of arrogance that was hilarious. “There has been minimal information about you across the country” a little narrowing of his eyes followed that statement.“And is that a bad thing? Should I be worried?” He almost made it sound so.I felt him squeeze my hand that he held in his and he added a sly smile to it. “Not at all. If anything, it sounds exciting. Almost like Aspena’s little secret”The mention of the word ‘secret’ reminded me of the one I held from my experience in the tower. No one had asked for my version of events and I was quite sure that Duchin laid a report to Hilra or Anthonier.“Hmm. Exciting indeed” came my reply. My mind had wandered again.The prince noticed though, I saw his facial expression change but he still kept up the conversation.“Are there any chances that you may come home with me tonight?” He asked, his confidence was alarming.I l
