The Warrior And His Emperors Navigating Life
Life was strange. Married life was stranger. Adharva woke up to see Eloy already awake. It was either him or Eloy who wakes up first and he was more or less sure that the day Mithraos wakes up first, pigs would fly.It was the first full court sitting after the wedding. Eloy will also sit with them. He knew there will be conflict of interests. But it will work out, maybe.For now, he looked at his one husband in the bed and then at the other who was at the door having shooed off some maid to bring in their morning drinks himself, politely of course. If he is not polite to servants, he wouldn't be Eloy.This was a regular thing now. Eloy guarded their quarters with as much passion as he himself does. Never lets the helps into the quarters.He took the tea and then they both eyed Mithraos. The man must have sensed the smell of tea, he stirred. "Am I an exhibit?" he asked grouchily as he sat up and took his tea."Not yet. If you sleep in a similar manner during the wars, maybe," said A
The Warrior And His Emperors Danger, Lurking In The Corners
It was unexpected, really. Who would expect the emperor to be attacked on his way to the sun temple. It was not that Mithraos wanted to go. Eloy did. Adharva refuses to enter temples and thus Mithraos decided he will accompany their one third to the temple. Eloy had bowed down to touch the idol when an arrow struck Mithraos.Mithraos stood firm as he threw his knife at the offender. The guards were clearing them out of the temple as others grabbed the attacker.Eloy was panicking. He never panicked in war. But here, he was. He just looked at his emperor as they rushed back. The healers saw to his wounds.----------Adharva was going through royal scrolls when the guards rushed in."Your highness , Emperor Mithraos was attacked," said the guard.Adharva felt anger thrum in his body as he rushed out. He saw Mithraos lying in the healer's table as Eloy stood motionless. He reached them and touched Eloy who turned and placed his hand gently on Adharva's chest."Your fury won't help us now
The Warrior And His Emperors What Does An Apology Entail
Adharva woke up when he felt Eloy's hand on him. "Your highness, it is late. Please join us for breakfast," said Eloy as he picked the robe for Adharva and brought it. The man sat up and wore it and took the tea from him."How is Mithraos?" asked Adharva."I think he is in pain. He will die before admitting it," said Eloy.They both reached the dining area. Mithraos looked up. His and Adharva's eyes met. All sat down and Eloy served the food. They all silently ate it.Eloy looked at Mithraos who stubbornly remained silent."Let us deal with the culprit first thing," said Adharva on his feet. All three walked towards the healer's chamber.Adharva and Mithraos were trailing behind as Eloy rushed to ensure that the man was properly tied up, lest he try to attack the emperors."I was angry, Adharva. I shouldn't have said that," said Mithraos slowly. Eloy did not turn even though he heard the conversation."You were right, it was my fault. I should have been more careful about your securi
The Warrior And His Emperors A Declaration
Shikhar and Rishi breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing all three unharmed. Later,Shikhar retired to his chambers. Rishi meanwhile enlisted the help of the rest of his family to set up a declaration. He wrote it down overnight and called an emergency court meeting the next day.Shikhar was surprised to see a full court meeting the next day and looked at Rishi in askance. The man simply looked back. "His Highness Hrishikesh Malvan has a declaration to make," announced Adharva.Shikhar narrowed his eyes.If Rishi was supporting the kids in something stupid, the man was going to be in for a nice long lecture from him-"My people, as the family head of the ruling Malvans, I have never focussed on my personal life properly in the early period. I had wronged someone thus, with my callousness. It is no secret that I love Malvan Warrior in Chief Shikhar Vanshi. He owns my heart, my pride, my soul and everything there is. When my parents died, I was 15. Shikhar had brought them up when
The Warrior And His Emperors Courting
Shikhar found Eloy while he was busy with setting the robes for the emperors. He liked to do it himself and refused to let the maids inside their quarters for anything.Safety was a major concern and he, he secretly liked doing it for them. He looked up to see Shikhar."Apaa," Eloy beamed."His Highness tells me that you are the person who advised him," said Shikhar, his face imperceptible."That man cannot hide anything from me. I- I just wanted to thank you, Eloy," smiled Shikhar. Eloy sighed happy that he did not anger apaa.Shikhar hugged him tight and that was that. "Now I need your help to set up the wedding. Samar will join you," said Shikhar."You gave him your -"Of course, no. I- I have rarely seen his highnesses romantic side. Let me just treasure it as it is," said Shikhar with a small smile on his face."As you wish Apaa," said Eloy.-----------Samar and Eloy had fun planning the wedding. He was not as close as he was to Shikhar with Samar before this. However, planning
The Warrior And His Emperors High King
Eloy did not know what it means to be a High King. He really had no idea about his Queen mother's duties before she died. Apparently there were many."Apaa, I am of no royal heritage. Will the people accept-"I am no royal either, Eloy. Royalty, it is not in the blood, but in the attitude. You handle them well and they will bow before you, listen to you," said Shikhar.Eloy nodded."You will join me, won't you?" "If you wish it. I always find such political meetings boring. But I can aid you," said Shikhar."The family head's duty-"You are the family head, Apaa. I am your family member. No matter my position, that will never change. If you don't agree with a decision, it will not materialise. That can't be changed. Just because the emperors are married now doesn't change anything," said Eloy."I have been telling him the same. I am glad you are trying to talk sense into him," said Rishi.Shikhar looked at Rishi who gave a small smile and brought Shikhar into his arms. Shikhar nodded
The Warrior And His Emperors Civil War- In The Bedroom
The silence was deafening in their bedroom. Adharva shed his clothes and joined his husbands in bed. There was space between Mithraos and Eloy."You should listen to what he has to say for himself," said Adharva as he pulled the comforter over the three of them.Eloy looked at Mithraos. On seeing Mithraos' face, Eloy felt bad."In all honesty, I was not trying to upset you," said Eloy running his hand through his husband's cheek, looking at the red rimmed eyes."What you said is true. I deserved that and much more. I - I knew you would be torn apart by the wolves and I - I let it happen. I always used to justify the distance thinking you are a royal and living that life. Why would it matter if I am close or not? And then, you left it all. I did not even know how to come to terms with that. I am truly regretful of the act, El," said Mithraos.Eloy looked at him."I know.""Will you call me Mithra again?" Mithraos blurted out. He missed being called Mithra by Eloy. He missed knowing wh
The Warrior And His Emperors A Wedding
Rishi looked at Shikhar as he offered him the eleventh courting gift. It is the bangle worn by Queen mothers of the erstwhile Kingdom, now Empire.Shikhar just stared at it. He felt his eyes prickle and then looked at Rishi who extended his hand and pulled Shikhar close."Mother would be very happy that it is you whom it belongs to now. She approved of you, very much," said Rishi. Shikhar just hugged his man tight."Will you wed me?" asked Rishi his eyes met Shikhar's."Yes," said Shikhar smiling. They kissed hard."I don't want to wait anymore," said Rishi."I don't either. I have asked our children to do something about it," said Shikhar with a small smile."You are a force to be reckoned with, my love," said Rishi, running a hand through Shikhar's cheek.Shikhar smiled as he pressed his face with Hrishikesh's.----------The wedding took place in the Sun temple. Only the family was present. Shikhar was wearing a white robe while Hrishikesh was wearing a silver robe. They sat side b
