"An intruder" Simon mumbled as he rose from his seat, he went outside of his room to another room in his chambers, where different types of weapons were stored, swords, daggers, axes, all kinds of weapons needed for murder.           Simon grabbed a sword and went outside to meet Carter and some of his guards, securing his chamber.            His guards bowed when they spotted him "What are you doing here, you shouldn't be here" Carter said alarmed, out of concern for him.           "I am no coward, where is the intruder," Simon asked, his eyes gleamed with excitement.           An intruder in his castle, an intruder the same moment Lucien came back. This is his justification, to get rid of

 The birds chirping woke her up, she forced her eyes open to the light, her wincing in pain brought her father and the physician's attention to her. "Gila, you are awake!" Her father called out with relief and held her hands. Gila looked away from her father and jerked her hands away from his. "Gila?" her father called alarmed "Why are you in my room? What happened?" Gila faced the physician as she asked those questions. The physician bowed his head in respect to her and checked her pulse before he responded "You fainted my lady. I heard from your maid that you haven't been eating and hardly goes out of your room, if it wasn't for your father that found you it would have been really bad."  "Gila, why are you doing this to yourself? You know you are the only one I have, why are you trying to hurt yourself, my darling" Her father asked, his eyes teary due to his d

Six Years Ago (The Royal Palace Of Avis, the prince chamber) "This is so nice, this is my first seeing snow this winter. I wish I could go outside and we could play in it" Lucien stated and stretched his hand outside the window. "How old are you? thirteen? We are going to become adults soon, men not some bunch of sissies" Young Simon who was seated on a chair with a book in his hand scolded, rolling his eyes at Lucien. George rose from his bed and went to Lucien, patting his shoulder in a manner of consoling him. "Don't mind him, it just got over him because he became eighteen today. If it were up to me, then I say we stop being friends with him, because now he is a man and we are still boys. Man and boy can never move along" Prince George mocked Simon while Lucien cackled. Simon throws his book at George but he dodges it and pulled his tongue out playfully. "Hey, come here. I wi

The sound of footsteps drew Lucien's attention toward the door, and he rise to his feet as it opens. Three men in black cloaks came in, and Lucien bowed in gesture."You have arrived, your majesty," He said while the man in the middle scowled displeased.He looked around his environment and went to a wooden chair and sat. The dissatisfaction on his face was as clear as the sky "You got some nerves, calling me here. You hold no important position but yet I have to come to see you" the curt reply send a shiver down Lucien's body."It was for your sake, your highness. If I were to come to see you in the palace, it will only draw attention to you. As you know, I hold no important position than being favoured by the Norva king" "Say no more, I don't need your explanation. Tell me why we are here""To discuss the prince and Sebastian's family" Lucien replied.Another man in a black cloak scoffed this time and move close to Lucien, removing his cloak. "Didn't you already fail on your second

Imogen gulped down uncomfortable and disengaged from the hug. Edward looked at her confused as she pushed him back."What happened? Did I startle you with the sudden hug? I am sorry, I was just too happy" He apologized sincerely, while Imogen gazed at him surprised.He treats her different like she matters and her heart loves it. But why does she still feel uncomfortable around him? "It is alright, I was just a little scared being in that position with you"Edward stared at her sad and disappointed "Why are you scared? Because you belong to Simon?" Imogen could see the sadness in his eyes and that makes her a bit unhappy."That isn't it, am scared because of you. Your title, what if anyone sees us like this? I don't want any trouble for you, especially with my master" Imogen bit on her lower lips, deeply worried about him.He could see that, and nothing makes him happier.
