They’d arrive at the castle at half the time from before because of the captain's efforts, along the way she had managed to tell the concerns of the maids that have been plaguing her mind, along with some other problems that she knew needed some attention.
Karilaya had been thinking of the other repercussions that might happen all because of the things that had recently happened, she was sure there was something that she was missing along the way. The problem is she couldn’t really see what it was.
“Do not worry about the guards, my lady, I will immediately look into it,” The captain informs her as he was dismounting from his steed.
They had just arrived at the castle but were still waiting for all the knights, the only people that were behind them was the carriage that carried nana and Soraya. She could not help but look past the man, trying to see what was behind him, trying to see what happened
‘And once the fireth cometh knoweth yond thee shall suffer the same fate as the people thee ruleth.’Tapping her fingers on those words that she had written, she was still unable to find anything that was related to the said quote. There was also only one book that had mentioned it, but the hard part was finding something that had a similar book that actually explained what was happening and was able to tell more about the said quote, something that was clearer and more reliable than the riddle.The words themselves would not leave Karilaya, keeping her awake every night, knowing that it was something of grave importance to stop the nearing doom of their kingdom.The princess rubbed her forehead from the ache in her head from all that thinking. Added the fact that she only had a glimpse of what was happening with her premonition. There wasn’t much to go with right now, especially since she wasn’t
Voices were silenced within the entire room, no one dared usher a word, only the metallic tapping on the throne wooden arm could be heard as the prince's face remained crumpled from frowning. His eyes were still glaring as he stays still, keeping his gaze at the window, looking outside.Lord Slog just ended up swallowing hard, feeling the lump on his throat as he kept getting glances from the commander. The two have been silently communicating to one another this whole time, still thinking of what to say since they did not want to further increase their liege’s anger.“Sire,” The old man finally broke the silence and lowered his head to his prince.The Black Knight slowly turned his head to look at the man who was already kneeling before him. Yet with that, the man just remained quiet and continued to tap on his throne.Lord Slog cleared his throat before speaking once more. “
An array of fruits, pastries, dishes were covering the whole table almost making Karilaya feel overwhelmed just by looking at it.Karilaya had been staring for quite some time, not moving as she still did not feel comfortable being in front of the man. The prince was only wearing a black tunic, embellished with gold and silver, and a red shoulder cape. The thin cloth properly displayed the full, well-fit form, and large frame of his body, showing that he was truly a man honed by battle. From his well-defined chest to his bulging arms that were both being hidden before by his plated armor.His full face was uncovered, showing his dragon form which was the only thing that fascinated Karilaya at that moment, since she could not help but worry, even more, knowing that a man such as the prince having such physical and magical superiority would easily be taken down.“Do you not like the food, my lady?” The prince t
Karilaya felt a bit of the weight on her shoulders lighten. Seeing as one by one the townspeople were being released from their ropes and set free from their cages. She along with nana and Soraya stood firm, keeping an eye on the imperial soldiers, making sure that they didn’t do any more harm to the beaten-down men. Several of them were barely able to stand up, forcing some of the imperial soldiers to carry them towards the safe space that she asked for.Just within the gardens, several blankets were set up, along with some tents that had food, water, bandages, and medicine.“My lady, this is madness, you are marching to your death!” Soraya could not help but scold her lady.The woman was in rage right now, after hearing what had intervened during their late night dinner, even she couldn’t shake off the feeling of anger she still had. Feeling so belittled and cornered at that time. She wasn
It was already mid-morning when they got to the place within the outer castle walls, the captain along with several of the workers he took along, started clearing out several of the debris that was scattered all over the place. The man was also helping along some of the laborers to hasten things, even going so far as having some of his knights help out. Karilaya watched and observed from far away, admiring the captain in her safe space. The man did not hesitate to get his hands dirty. Digging, carrying, and even helping the workers push several of the heavy stones that were scattered within the place. Body shimmering from the sunlight, the captain’s physique looked as hard as stone, the fine lines within his body seemed like it was carved, showing the definite features of each part. From his protruding squared chest, nicely defined abdomen, to his well-defined arms and legs. The man was like the epitome of a male w
“My lady, are we done here?” the captain had this anxious look on his face as he moves beside Karilaya.They had just finished digging up the other parts of the fountain that was once erected there, piecing out together the sigil that was the reason for keeping the energies from going rampant.They were lucky that the whole thing was only separated into three pieces, making it easy for them to find all the parts and try to set it back atop the hole.“Is there a problem, Captain?” she asks feeling quite worried.The man had this sharp look in his eyes and kept trying to speed up their work, forcing the men to work twice as hard. She also saw him phasing back and forth a while ago while she was trying to restore and strengthen the seal.“It seems we are needed at the palace right now.” He let out a deep breath somehow looking like he had just been defeated.
“So, it seems that the issue with the phantom warriors has been resolved, no thanks to our so-called magical adviser,” Lord Slog’s voice boomed all over the hall his face crumpled.They were currently a few people within the throne room right now, as they were called in for a talk.Karilaya stood in front of the throne, looked down by several of the people standing beside the prince as she knelt down.The prince quietly sat on the throne, once again wearing his full armor, his commander stood on his left while the old man stood on the right. An additional person was standing just behind the so-called lord Slog, she recognized the clothing as a witch from the witches of Westershire coven that she heard about, the woman had her hair done in a bun, her skin was quite pale but she had almost the same features as the first witch she had met, though this person was a bit older as she had a more defined pointe
“My lady, the captain is here to see you,” Nana stated as she opened the door.Karilaya had just finished changing and was quick to move to the table to fix herself in her seat, she made sure that she looked prim and proper, fixing her hair as she adjusted in her seat.When she was comfortable with how she looks she turns to her nana, smiling as she gave her a nod.Soraya and all her other soldiers became alert as they returned to attention in their positions.“Please, let him in.”After hearing those words nana quickly gave a bow and then returned outside, within moments captain Maxwell entered the room, as always he seemed to bring in that powerful vibe that somehow lights up her mood.“My lady,” the man says as he gave a nod before moving towards her.“Captain, have a seat,” she gestured
