"But you can't deny the King’s got taste. He looks better in chains than he ever did in a suit." Nikos kept his gaze fixed on the floor, his knuckles white as he gripped the wine decanter. He felt like a ghost haunting his own life. These were people he had gone to school with, people who had begged for invites to his father’s galas. Now, he was just the help, a living trophy of their new King’s conquest.

"The King is tired of playing hide-and-seek. Drop the dagger and step away from the ledge. You’re coming home." I didn't move. I kept my gaze fixed on the ground, projecting the image of a woman at the end of her rope. "I have nowhere to go," I whispered, my voice intentionally thin. "You’ve already burned my home.

His voice was quiet. Gentle. I smiled. A real smile. The first completely honest smile I'd worn in months. "It's gone." Silas's breath caught. The words hung between us. Heavy. Meaningful.

Finally, they met with Xeik. Cyrus shouted, over the hollering of soldiers and it was a battle cry to the other side. “Xeik! Your coward of a king hides within his throne room while you do the fighting. Is this what it is to be Southern? What’s normally meant to be a king is not who doesn’t have courage and thus depends on others!"

The soldiers stood in front of him with a hardened look, a tall looking hefty soldier with bald head and broad shoulders stood at the front of the other men who stood quietly not to offend the brutal king in front of them. "My King" The tall soldier acknowledged with a bow and the rest joined in union. "Our horses and swords are ready to attack, my king" The man noted with a hint of pride in his voice, "All together, we are twenty three thousand soldiers put together by the 7 kingdoms. The soldiers in Anedo are not up to us and indeed victory will be yours" He asserted sternly. With his hands stroking his beards, King Fabian smirked with satisfaction.

Commander Wesly stood up and looked at three soldiers who were extremely tired. "I know you guys are exhausted but now it is a crucial time. Help may arrive from the capital anytime soon. Till then we have to preserve and search for our king. For us and our kingdom." "For us and our kingdom." The tired soldiers shouted loudly and started to walk. The maids weren't of much help but they still searched the surrounding areas.

A laugh from one of the soldiers behind me snapped me back to reality. “Damned forest,” an olive-skinned soldier grumbled. “Nothing but trees and more trees.” I stiffened at his words, anger flaring inside me. How could anyone be so blind to the beauty around them? But then again, these men—these soldiers of Kyrador —weren’t here to admire the forest. They were here to conquer it, just like their king.

"You must be wondering why I asked you about that. The truth is that all my soldiers asked me for a favor about what I told you. I just wanted to train, but they all did not defeat me, and neither did I see what I wanted to see in someone." "He's a strange king, but I can tell he's a kind king because of the way he talks to a soldier. He's just weird about the sword." She was stunned because she had forgotten that this king in front of her was the one skilled in the use of the sword; he was the one appointed "The Sword King." "Just a moment, and I'll make sure you don't get hurt." She stared at the king's face. His aura was light and he was always smiling, so she nodded in agreement with wha

The warriors promptly halted their activities and stood straight, rigid as statues. "As the king and I make our rounds, it is imperative that order and discipline prevail.
