After training that day, I invited Kabal over to my inner resting room to talk-- I had some questions for him. The little boy I rescued some weeks ago, now looks like a warrior. He's skilled and swift, that piqued my interest and now I'm ready to listen to him.
"Good day sire" he curtsized "you sent for me""Sit" he sat on a stool a distance away. "Tell me about you---I mean how you got here.""I'm honored sire" he bowed. " i got here as a slave when the demons took over our part of the white coven. They were able to get break our shield, cause they got the key. Some of us were killed, my uncle, the king and my father was killed. Though, i was still a toddler but my mother told me all i know about that day. We were forced to take the mark sire.""You mean you're a witch" I never expected demons to be so naive... to the extent of harbouring witches, thinking enslaving them would make them quit fighting. Apparently, that has worked but not to all of them“EVERYONE FREEZE! LEAVE HER!”Slowly, they eased away from me. It's him —Julian. What the hell is he doing here? I searched around remembering Luna —then I saw her at his feet. Our gaze meet and she came running to me. Naughty girl, she went to call for help— but why Julian? I stood up from the cold ground. The demons bowed as he moved closer and I flushed with embarrassment. He held my hand and raised it.“she is your leader!” he yelled. “she's Commander Claudia, the new army head.”They all fell on their faces. One of them, looking like a leader spoke. “oh milady, we are very sorry. We never knew it was you. We've been locked down here all our lives. We've heard a lot about you but we've never me
We sat on horses at the entrance of the castle. The king commanded a grand entry like it was a very important person visiting. Julian's cousin, how important is he? There are a lot of family ties I still do not know of in this territory. One of which is the one king's nephew who the almighty devil takes so important. Julian being the only child of this same almighty, the owner of thousand mistresses, is still a shock to me. I heard rumours once that he kills his mistresses once they take in, how cruel? It's too bad to be true but if it is, then I think I know why he would do that. The smart king wants to protect the seat for himself, his own family line only. He doesn't want rivalry between brother or betrayal due to jealousy. He's really a wise father. He must have been through hell while Julian was gone. Maybe not...I can't say.Our visitors arrived, hundreds of horses and horsemen adorned with weapons of all sort. Their leader, I suppose the cousin, shook hands with us. He
“ There are many ways the southern province can be attacked, some soldiers would be sent as spies into the territory. The night before the way, others will stay at the four gates. I'll lead north, Julian south and you will go to the castle, Claudia, to face the king yourself. I hear you have all the powers in the world. By the way it's the king's order.” Raleigh said.We were having a meeting in my study. The training rooms were too occupied so we had to have it here in my chamber.“you will inform the soldiers Raleigh and prepare them. Thank goodness your here. I and Claudia would prepare the legion—make all weapons ready.”Julian added. This meeting isn't making sense to me.“ Besides all the soldiers should be out. I hear your father has a very strong army too.” I addressed Raleigh. “Every warrior in this castle should be at war, even those at the dungeon. Some of which would be at the walls of the castle
It's quite amazing that Julian took all that happened that night seriously. He saw the both of us walk out of the hall. We didn't get the chance to say anything because the king's messenger interrupted. Though, I'm still very curious and also glad that Julian got really ioo9 jealous. After a stress filled day at work, I forced my eyelids shut but sleep was really far away from me. I had a lot on my mind and I was expecting someone. Emiliar, that witch promised to always be there for me. Where the hell is she now?! But I'm also happy she isn't here because right now I'm finding it hard to sleep, thinking of him. His stare, his smell, his taste, his touch, I just can't think straight. I feel like I've gotten myself into something I can't deal with.I heard a knock on my door, it was Raleigh. What could have brought him to my chamber this late today in the night? I remembered the look on Jul
“ Katrienair, what are you doing out this late?” he questioned when he reached me. “ I should ask you the same.” Then I remembered someone was missing. Luna, I left her with Raleigh. She was asleep anyway but I feel kind of incomplete without her. “ it's too risky for a lady to be out this late. You don't even have your badge on. How are you going to be recognized that you aren't an ordinary citizen.” “ Never thought of that” “Where are you going?” “No where.” I said. “ just wanted to stroll. I mean study the map. And you?” “ sa
That pervert! What would she be thinking now? I miss the days when I could access her thoughts at a glance.“ huh...” there's no other option than to lie. “ he missed doors. That jerk! He was drunk, he came in here and slept off. I was scared...why I sent for you. I had to leave the whole chamber for him. ”“ oh that's bad.” she jeered. “ You should learn to keep your doors shut at night...at least to prevent drunkards from barging in. Where did you spend the night then?”“No where really. Just hung around the garden. ” I yawned and sprawled on the bed. “ Me ...so tired.”She caressed my temple. “ oh baby...catch some sleep. Today's gonna be loaded with lotta work.” My eyelids snapped open.“lest i forget! Emiliar, you are training today.” she arched a brow. “i have a plan. I'll make coffee.” I jumped out of bed.“you're no
Julian was having a private meeting with his father, the king, when he brought up the matter of changing Katrienair's assistant. Roger believed his son would be glad to hear this; more reason why he broke the news to him first before discussing it with the council chiefs but Julian was rather in great fury.“Father, you can't let Raleigh assist Claudia. It's my position!” Julian was in rage when his father made known to him his plan about changing Katrienair's assistant. Roger seems to trust Raleigh even more than his son now.“ You were her assistant as a punishment. You should be grateful to me. You've been relieved of your punishment.” Roger grinned at his son.“ It might be a punishment but I've discovered there's more gain being her assistant. Punishment or not. ” Julian would always find ways to manipulate hos father. “ I'll would be able to watch her every move. You can't entrust your kingdom to strangers fa
“ Katrienair, my sister” a voice came. I looked around, disoriented. The once snow land has melted to form a clear green phosphorescence on the open field. I mean—the snow land in my dreams.The silhouette of a lady standing afar was the only discernible figure on the field. It was raining and all I could hear was the forced breath of a being, muttering 'my sister'.Light flashed from the sky giving me a slight glimpse of the figure. A lady in blood stained white garment, her dirty golden hair covering her face. She was white—extremely pale.“my sister help me!” she screamed. It was like she's struggling with some forces threatening to take away her voice or even her being. As she screamed, her figure was suppressed to the ground, till it completely vanished. I tried to move but my limbs didn't budge, all was still. I could only blink and gasp. Green light flashed again, the figure was no more and her screams, all gone.***
