Sword of blood Chapter 9
“There will be threats, such hideous threats. I dare you to watch out or be their guest”Xanthanius“I do not see the necessity of inviting the Prince of Rekal. He had made it clear a number of times that he does not like us. Are men really that lenient? Women would hold the grudge till eternity” Starlark, the representative of the Daisy of Townsend says with a disgust she could not hide.Tsekri made no attempt to hide his laughter and the cluster of diamonds around his neck that was his way of marking what Townsend he was, rattled against each other lightly.We were planning a reconciliation meeting with the country of Rekal. My father had apparently stepped on some toes before I arrived and that was another mess I had to handle. Frankelis, the Ace of Townsend, had suggested a ball in their honor and the entire table agreed to it. Now I wondered how Starlark wanted us to host a ball in their favour and not invite their heir over a simple statement he made seven years ago.The round

“Enchantments would be broken and the truth will be seen. What would that make of you and me?”MarinaI had woken up over an hour ago.But I still laid in bed and waited for Hilra’s knock on the door. The sun had set now and somewhere between my shower and when I had fallen asleep, she had come to take away the dirty plates as she had promised.All I could do now was to wait and wonder why the High Adviser would want to see me. Probably he would be with the King? Anytime I thought of the king, I pictured him laughing at the mention of my name. Laughing particularly at how desperate I appeared the first night he saw me.I wanted to regret the first impression I had given everyone here but I could not because it got me exactly what I wanted.Maybe tonight would be the opportunity I have to pitch what I would desire from the King in place of my responsibilities.With another sigh, I flipped over and lay facing the roof. The soft blue clouds painted across the ceiling stared down at me

“Thou shall wield a dagger. Thou shall wield a sword. What thou shall not yield is the strength of blood”MarinaI froze to focus my senses and be certain the knock came from my door and it was not a fragment of my imagination.The knock sounded again and a bit louder this time and I walked towards it then gently swung the wooden door open. A woman who appeared to be in her third decade of life and a little shorter than I was, looked me in the eye before asking “Were you asleep?”Without waiting for my permission, she pushed past me and welcomed herself into the room. She stood at the center and made a deep observation of the environment.Her ivory skin complemented her almost ginger hair and golden brown eyes that shone like topaz gems behind a mirror from where she was.“No. I just wasn’t sure the knock came from here” I shut the door and turned the face her completely.She skimmed my appearance and a look of disapproval etched her features. Accentuating the wrinkles on her forehea

“Impossible was thought, till impossible was not. My, my, what a deary knot!”MarinaWhen the coach was pulled to a stop in front of the two heavy doors that were usually left ajar during the Flame Request hours. I inhaled sharply and tried to brace myself for the new life I had demanded.The door next to my side of the carriage was opened and I noticed it was the guard who had sat opposite me during the ride. I had no idea when he had gotten off. He extended a hand for me which I thankfully took because I did not trust myself to make unstaggering steps right now.As my feet came into contact with the green and ash terracotta flooring, I took a slow glance around and heard the hoofs of the horses that led our carriage hit the floor towards another direction. Unlike some certain individuals who had privileges of visiting the castle, such as the Townsend men and women or the commoners who worked with and for the castle in various ways, I had only been in this palace once. Which was the

“A sword, a knife, a blade for strife. One of these saw the end of a life”MarinaTrue to my father’s belief, a knock was heard at our doorstep before the early rays of the sun had begun to filter its way into the sky.Despite being in the peak of the winter wave from the north, some prickles of sweat had formed on my forehead, down my back and underneath the bodice I wore. The cream colored cloth was starting to display water marks around my chest and armpit.I stood holding my little box in hand. I didn’t have much to pack as I don’t even have many things to term as my property. Asides a few undergarments, three of my best dresses (which was all the best clothes I had) and the dress I wore the last time I was in the castle, I had nothing else to take with me.My father answered the door and after a brief exchange with whomever was at the other end, he gave me a look that clearly indicated it was time for me to go. Lanthernia stood so close, that it felt like her body heat was addin

“One lays accused, one lays under the ground. Might be different souls or same, this hour around”Marina “You did what!?” Lanthernia’s voice was definitely not the whisper we had agreed it to be after mother and Jepheeth had gone to bed. It was past ten pm and I solely waited for the right time to break the news to she and father. Now we were seated by the mini stool we managed to gather around the eat the remnants of our sick ones.“Went to the Flame Cycle R-““I heard you the first time. And you didn’t think it would be better to seek some coins instead? It’s the role of a mistress?”“To be frank, everyone who came looking for finances was declined and I didn’t want a temporary solution”“You believe bedding the King is a permanent solution?”“No, but it is better to have unlimited access to resources we direly need than to have money to acquire what we can afford. I don’t think the parliament loans out funds to any family, twice in a row”Father was awfully quiet at the exchange
