DragonBorn Chapter 10:Kevan!
Gawain "Uh...Little help here?" My back was turned to her as she was getting into a gown I had instructed her to. Her chief maiden was here with a couple of other maids to help her out. She had been acting strange all morning. She was being nice. Too nice. Perhaps,my words had gotten to her last night. Or it could be that she needed something. Either ways, it would not pass me by. I heard her groan and I was tempted to see why but she had specifically said not to turn around. "This is not necessary. I can't wear these horrifying things. I can't even breath in them. Could you please help me out of them? Please?" She pleaded. I found it weird that she would actually plead with a maid. The consorts in the palace took little or no time in bossing their maids around and this one seemed to be making acquaintances. I turned around and gazed upon her, neglecting her instructions. I could not deny the fact that she looked very stunning in the lilac gown that hugged the u
DragonBorn Chapter 11: Fighting and slitting wrists
Kevan I dove into her arms and she clutched me tightly. I missed her. Her scent. I withdrew from the hug and gazed up at her. Her eyes held so much love and affection in them my insides melted. Her soft fingers fell on my cheek as she caressed my face. A tear dropped from her eyes and I wiped it away before it fell to the floor. "Kevan..." She said and kissed my forehead and then the both of my cheeks. "Kevan...I missed you." She said and her voice broke. She looked sad. Very sad. I looked at her face closely. She had gotten...fat. I chuckled at the thought of her becoming as fat and round as a ball. Her eyes lit up when she looked at me."What is it Kevan? Do you find the fact that I miss you funny? Can I not miss my own brother anymore?" She asked. "No Nara. That is not the case. You have grown fat over the past few weeks."Her face turned red and I laughed harder. I threw my hands around her again,pulling her into a tight hug. "Careful there child.
DragonBorn Chapter 12: Cravings
Hera "Take it from someone who has seen more years than you'll ever dream of spending on earth. Constantly trying to ruin somebody's life will end in your own ruin, Hera. I have no interest in Ajax and for your own good, Hera, leave him be. I see where you're headed and it's not going to end well. Not for you at least."Elpis's words replayed in my head, over and over again. "Do you think her words are finally coming to pass?" I asked,putting the needle I held into the piece of cloth I was almost done with embroidering. "No, Mother. Do not worry about these things. You did what you had to do." The needle suddenly dug into my index finger and I dropped the cloth abruptly. I winced and sucked on the finger. "Are you alright, Mother?" Dameon asked as he rushed beside me and knelt in front of me. I pulled out my finger from my mouth and brought it down to look at it. Dameon took it and rubbed it,worry etched on his forehead. I observed him for a while before speak
DragonBorn Chapter 13: A trap
Evanara I glared at her. A deal? Over my brother? Over Kevan? I would most certainly murder her if she said another word about my Kevan.I twisted the door knob and opened it. "Where are you storming off to?" I glared at her again. "To find my brother and I swear that if I do not find him, you'll hate me."With that,I stormed out of my chamber. I had no idea where Kevan could be but Gawain would. I ran along the hallway as I located Gawain' room and I opened it."Gawain,where is..." I stopped dead in my tracks. I looked from Gawain' shocked face to Queen Katherine's face that held an irritated glare. Queen Katherine did not bother to cover her naked self. Instead she pressed her dangling breasts to Gawain who was still frozen and kissed him. Even if his waist to his thighs were covered,I could still see his erection from the blue covers. Nausea gripped me and it took all of my might not to throw up. "Get out."Queen Katherine said and only then did I notice that I
DragonBorn Chapter 14: The trial
Evanara "I didn't push her." I told Prince Dameon who was hell bent on getting me punished. He looked away from me and to Queen Mother who was trying her best to look as pitiful ever. I didn't understand why I was forced to stand in the middle of the court in front of the King and other weird looking people. I had done nothing wrong. The only reason I still stood here was because Gawain warned me never to disregard the members of the court no matter how tense the situation got. "Do you suggest the Empress Dowager is lying?" A very old man who sat next to Emperor Ajax, Gawain' father asked me,looking at me strangely. I had never seen him in the castle before and his clothes were different from ours. The red of his cloak was really eye catchy. He was covered in a red cloak that swallowed his whole body up I couldn't even see what he wore inside. I could not help but imagine what I would look like if I wore something like that . Ugh. The color would contrast with my hair and I'd really
DragonBorn Chapter 15: Court
Evanara I winced as Madge pinned the final lock of hair that was left into place. Honestly, I would have preferred a scarf but I was not given so much as a choice. "All done,your Grace." Madge said.I stood from the wooden stool and looked at myself. I looked away instantly as I felt the contents of my belly reach out for my throat. "Can you not get a tunic for me instead of this... this clothing?" I asked. She looked at me,rather stunned by my remark and her lips pursed in a way I concluded she took offense of my words. With the look on her face,I could have sworn if I was not with child...the Emperor's child,she would be mopping the castle floors with my face. "No your grace." She mumbled a few more word underneath her breath and laughter erupted from the left corner of my room and it came from the maid scrubbing the floors who after a glare from me stopped laughing. "What did you say?" I asked her."Nothing." She said, giving me an evil eye. "Get out."
DragonBorn Chapter 16:Lost
Evanara The Empress's silver hair was plaited beautifully to keep every strand in place. Such beautiful work. She walked through the huge doors into a vast hall way. Princess and Ladies, more than I'd seen together in one place walked ahead of us. I had thought the palace was a serene environment for only the royal family. What section of the palace was this? Why were there so many here? "The Grand Empress to pass through the Court!!! "Someone shrieked behind me. I would have looked backward to see who it was had the orderly movement not struck my eye. The women froze at first then immediately recovering from their shock, the ones closest to the right side of the wall, moved to it and the ones closest to the left side move to it, thus creating more than enough space for ten people to pass through. I stole a glance at the old empress as she moved, hands behind her back like she was inspecting. Grand? The previous King's mother? A really weird monarchy this is. It was no wonde
DragonBorn Chapter 17: The Empress's Lover
Gawain I stomped out of Gaius' quarter, hands crossed behind my back, fuming. I met Orien waiting outside by the door and he trailed behind me, quietly. He knew when not to ask me questions. There was no sign of grandmother. She must have gotten tired of waiting for the treatments to be done. "Gawain... ". Orien said. "Cancel my meeting with the Clan heads and Head Merchants. Send an apology note to them and fix another date for the meeting. Assemble every maid, every one of them and every royal who has access to the kitchens in my Throne room. Send for Magus Adonis as well. "I ordered. "Why-" "Do not question me. "My voice boomed across the hallway. Not with the voice of a friend but of a Emperor. "Magus Adonis only comes once in four weeks. He will not heed the call-" "Call. For. Him. "I said sternly. Orien was right though. He would not come but I would have him send word anyway. "An hour, Orien. An hour to assemble all of them. Fix your nose befo
