Soraya kept her senses sharp. Looking around, all the while keeping her gaze on the knights who stood guarding them. She could not understand why they were suddenly being taken care of like that. They healed their wounds, gave back their weapons and armor. They even fed them to where they were all satisfied. They also mixed the captive villagers with their soldiers, making them look like a bunch of cattle being herded inside the outer castle. She knew that all of it had to have a reason and it was not just for show nor for their so-called friendly gesture. She’d hardly consider them having any, experiencing how cruel and barbaric they were. There was something behind of it all which she could not put her foot on it. It alerted Soraya seeing the soldiers move in a straight line, posing at the ready when they saw a line of well-dressed people coming their way. 

They caught Lord Drake by surprise upon their arrival. Making his uncle gape in disbelief at seeing her lady with him at that moment. He kept looking at him with questioning looks, asking for why he’d let the woman be there. “Your majesty, I do not think this is safe,” He says. Alexander almost laughed, cause he knew that his beloved was very much capable of handling herself in there, having removed her restraints and all. “Uncle, have you not met her yet? Or have you forgotten the mother of my children?” He smirks at the man, trying to give him the idea of who he was with. But before lord Drake could even recognize his lady, Kaya had already done a curtsy in front of him. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, lord Galford Drake. I have to commend that your men are quite the formidable opponents on the battlefield that even I wasn’t able to

“Why do you doubt him?” It was the childish little voice that whispered in her mind. She was currently contemplating with the Horomid all the while looking out into the palace’s terrace. She wanted to get at least an insight from her guardian spirits about what to do, knowing that somehow they may clear her thoughts. “Because he has lied to me before. And I am afraid that all of this is but another farce,” she says. Feeling that ache inside her chest, still fearing that the man might betray her again. “Did you also not deceive him?” the sweet female voice whispered. Karilaya could not help but grumble. “I did that to protect myself.” “What makes your mistake more forgivable than his? A lie is a lie no matter how you make it,” the annoying spirit mocked, letting out a laugh after. 

Having control over all the things in the kingdom, it didn’t take long before Karilaya had finally turned matters around. Repairs on the capital were going smoothly. All the previous actions she wanted to be done, like the re-aligning of the seals within the entire city, were no longer an issue, since fear of using her magic did not restrain her. It was the reason she now felt it was the right time to proceed with restoring their lands to how it was. “Your majesty, are you sure it will be safe to remove the coven from their bonds this instant?” the old adviser asks. The man was with her, together with her own guards, since she sent the others to handle things around the kingdom for this momentous day. “Yes, mistress Moryana and the headmaster are already in place. I stationed Kirei and everyone else in each village outside to make su

As Karilaya proved she could handle basic politics and affairs of the land, she gained the head advisers, along with the magical council’s favor, being dubbed as the true empress of the Draconian Empire. And they state it in the imperial rule. She took over all of Alexander’s duties, allowing the man to focus on raising their sons.The man taught the boys everything he knew, from combat, control their forms, and learning the ways of their kind. A year more had passed, and they were finally ready to proceed with her coronation.Having healed from all of their wounds, Karilaya finally agreed to marry the emperor, which puts them in their current situation. With the land no longer tormented by the changing weather, the people at peace, and the kingdom once again flourishing. It was now time to go to the western lands to have her crowned and legitimatized as the sole wife of t
