23. Intimate fight
“The one who loses will grant the winner a wish.” Laurier declared with a smirk.
Raelynn was not a fool to not understand his intentions this time. She saw his calculative eyes and the confident smile on his face. Yet, she did not bow down. Instead, raised an eyebrow at him making him blink at her. “Do you think I don’t understand your intentions? Laurier, I have known you for a time now and I know how your mind works.”
“In that case, Raelynn, you must be knowing what the outcome would be if you lose the bet.”
“Huh.” She scoffed again and pressed on her wrists, preparing for their spar. “You will only wi

“You dropped your sword, sweetheart. I won the fight.” Laurier declared with a victorious smile on his face. His hand was still around her waist and he looked down at her, watching her stare back at him in shock.“Wha-What? How?” Raelynn muttered; her mind unable to process what had transpired just now.“You lost concentration while fighting and you know what happens when you lose concentration.”“But it was you. You were the one who distracted me.” Raelynn protested, still confused by the turn of events.“Don’t you know

“There goes my desire to have a secret, thrilling love life in the river.” Raelynn complained, annoyance evident on her face and she shot cold daggers at Laurier. “It is all your fault.”“How is it my fault, Lady? I am as much of a victim as you are. They caught us being together, if you remember.” Laurier defended himself, putting up a mask of innocence. He knew what Raelynn was talking about. But he was not ready to accept the claims, not when he had good intentions at heart.“If you had not kissed me, we would not have ended up in this predicament.” Raelynn continued, unable to accept the sudden turn of events. Although she was not unhappy with how things had turned out, she had wished to have he
The Warrior Princess 26. Courtroom voting
The next day, Cathal Bringe was ready to leave for the kingdom of Hollis. Accompanying him were four knight guards, one from each battalion. He had come to the palace first as the Lord had called him to have a small private chat. Eldrick and Cathal were now seated in the dining hall as they ate breakfast together. “Are all the preparations done, Minister Bringe?”“Yes, Milord. Everything is set and I’ll be leaving in a few hours.”“Good. I hope you will succeed in convincing Lord Dimitri. But it’s fine if you cannot, after all, he is a man who listens to none. If he is hellbent on waging a war against us, we will fight h
The Warrior Princess 27. Brother's objection
The courtroom session ended after the voting session and Cathal was all set to leave. Seeing his unwilling gaze, Raelynn knew that it was unfair for him. But he was the one who volunteered to be the messenger and although he could have withdrawn even today, he did not. So, she could not help him in any way. The man had decided on his own and everybody had agreed to it. However, she could still give him some words of advice for his own safety.Raelynn approached him with Laurier right behind her. He was not ready to leave her in the presence of the man alone when he was still not able to clear his suspicions of him. Moreover, everybody had already heard about him and Raelynn. So, there was nothing to hide from Cathal. “Minister Bringe, may
The Warrior Princess 28. Acceptance and blessings
Laurier and Eldrick stood face to face, both not averting their gazes away from each other. This was the first time Laurier was meeting the Lord this close and it would be an understatement to say that he was nervous. He was more than nervous and his legs were shaking in anxiety. He had to use a lot of strength to stay in his place. The man before him had an aura so powerful that he did not know how to deal with him without annoying him. But Laurier knew that it was now or never. He had face Eldrick someday or the other and if today was the day, so be it. He used all the strength he had in him to appear bold and confident and he was being successful, or that was what he thought.“Knight Commander Laurier, how long have you known Raelynn?&r
The Warrior Princess 29. Unexpected death
“What were you two talking about?” Raelynn enquired as soon as they left the palace. She was eager to find out what the two men had spoken about in her absence and how things had turned out in their favor at the end. But with her brother present in the same room as them, she could not bring up the matter lest she should give an option for Eldrick to change his decision. So, Raelynn had waited until they left the palace before she questioned Laurier.“We had a man to man talk, Raelynn,” Laurier replied, his eyes for once not meeting her. It was not because he was unwilling to look at her. No. He was more concentrated on the commotion that was taking place in the market place.After leaving the palace, the couple had proceeded towards the market place. Although they knew it would not be easy to move past the crowd the place

She had ordered a cup of rice and some millet porridge as that was what she had seen her grandmother eat. She did not want to attract other people’s attention by ordering a hearty meal even though she was starving. It would make her look suspicious and that was the last thing she had in mind especially when she was close to her d

“Milady? Who are you talking about, Lady…?” The man left the sentence mid-way waiting for the girl to answer him.However, instead of answering him what he wanted, Miranda shook her head. “I apologize, kind Sir. I am not in a place to answer your questions, especially when I am suspicious about all people, including you until I meet the Lord. I hope you will understand the predicament I am in.” Miranda said with a helpless smile, hoping that the man would not give up on her just because she did not give him what he wanted.The man nodded at her, his eyes staring somewhere far behind her. He seemed to be lost in thoughts. ‘T
