Morning arrived,Carmen took an early bath. The King prepared breakfast and they ate. "Will you continue with what you said last night?" The King asked. "Nicholas is our enemy, he works with Shiandra. He has to die." "Then hire a warrior. You have not killed a man in your life. Of you do this then you will have to live with it." "Father,I am well aware of the consequences that I will have to face for this. I know that killing a man is not the ideal thing to do. I also know that I will not hire anyone because I am not a normal simple being,I am a hybrid and I never miss my prey." Said the Queen. King Cyrus gave his daughter a warm hug. "I believe in you my child. Make sure you do not die." He said. Carmen simply smiled. She took a horse and rode to Aota. Killing Nicholas would have to be done during the day as vampire's were more vulnerable during the day than at night. Besides Nicholas was not even that strong as he was not feeding on human blood. Killing him with one strike t
Meanwhile Shiandra was at Noracia, in the form of Prince Uzriel. She had been observing the prince's movement's and noticed that he spend most of his time in his Science room, researching. She saw the greatest opportunity for immitating him. "Ingrid, I will be in the science room for some time. I would to show you what I have found. That is if you are not occupied." Said the prince. "I would be glad to. We can go." Ingrid and the prince went to the science room together. While Shiandra transformed into what looked like the prince himself. She commanded two of the warrior's that were standing guard at the palace gate to bring all the warrior's to the training ground as she wanted to speak to all of them."Men and women I come to you as your prince. And I asked that you take heed to my word's as what I have to say will be of great significance to all of you."said Shiandra. The witch took out the seed of persuasion from her pockets and began to chew it. She then continued to speak.
Carmen organised a chariot, they both left for Gishon to see father Jonathan at the Zion church. When they arrived, the Archbishop welcomed both of them. There was no congregant fortunately. "Father,I brought with me a guest. A desperate advisor from the house of Kish. She wants to help." Said the Queen. "I know who she is. Ingrid, the first woman in Noracia, who even as the circumstances did not favor her managed to become the first female advisor in Noracia. I know her history." "I am humbled. I did not know that I was known here " said Ingrid. "Ingrid would like to assist us with what we need, whether it be funding, whether it be creating more crossbows,she earnestly hopes to destroy Shiandra too." "I hear you well, but where is prince Uzriel. He needs to also be a part of us." Said the Archbishop"Prince Uzriel will not be joining us as I placed him in a safe place, a ship beneath the water. He can only come out when the war is over. As he and princess Ashah who unfortunately
Hours passed The prophet's as well as Ingrid,Theresa, Alex and Carmen all stood at the palace gate with King Cyrus and his army. Shiandra and her army of vampire's arrived, twenty five in total. They stood ten metres in front of the palace gate. "You call that an army?" King Cyrus mocked. "You should not laugh too soon. Attack!" Shiandra commanded. . The vampire's ran to the gate. Theresa formed a protective, transparent barrier to keep them from the prophets, Alex and everyone else from harm. Shiandra's vampire's could not get through. They pushed but could not enter. "This will not hold for long." Theresa shouted. The prophet's fired their arrows to distract the vampire's. King Cyrus's warrior's drew their swords to the distracted vampire's and striked them on their hearts,killing them. Five vampire's however managed to escape. Noracian warrior's as well as those of Aota came forth, Shiandra commanded the Aotan warrior's to attack first. King Cyrus commanded the Kineti warri
King Cyrus was in distress, tormented by the beautiful memories of the woman he loved who had suddenly departed. And when he closed his eyes, all he could envision was her countenance, her grin, her figure. All he desired was to hear her voice once more and the sound of her charming, innocent giggle. Jordan, his advisor, was greatly concerned about the King. "Ugh, not again!" King Cyrus shouted in fury. Jordan grabbed the bowl of ink and cautiously placed it on the table. "Your majesty, I think you need to move on. It has been two years now," said Jordan in a calm voice. "Carla is different, she is the only woman who was willing to understand me. But you are correct; she has been gone for a long time. I need to find it in my heart to accept that. Jordan, I need your assistance." The king sobbed. "That is why I am here, my Lord. What is troubling you?" The king sighed. "It has been a while since I've sailed the sea. I need someone to look after things here while I am away. Can you
"She is a stunning woman, sigh." Jordan added. "She could even be the queen of Iceland, and still, I wouldn't want to see her this late. Take me to her." Jordan led the King to the dining area, where the woman was awaiting their arrival. The woman was certainly breathtaking, with long lustrous crimson hair, a slender physique, and a smile that illuminated the room. As soon as she noticed the King's entry, she rose from her chair. "Your Majesty," the woman said, curtsying. "Who are you, and why have you come so late?" the King inquired. "Please excuse my intrusion, Your Highness. I have been a nanny for many years and have cared for children of all ages. I heard that you have a new baby and wanted to offer my assistance." Jordan grinned and led the King aside. "She's impeccable, my Lord. She's a genuine lady, who could teach your daughter to be a resilient woman. Look at her clothing, she's tidy," he whispered. Jordan and the King redirected their attention to the woma
As the evening wore on, Carmen was overcome with a strong desire to walk in the forest. She carefully climbed out of her bedroom window, her hands and feet sticking to the walls like a magnet. Slowly, she descended the walls, moving as gracefully as a spider. Once she reached the ground, she darted off into the forest, moving at a lightning-fast pace without even realizing it. The scent of something familiar caught her attention, causing her to stop in her tracks. Suddenly, a mysterious woman appeared before her, shrouded in a red hooded gown that concealed her face. Carmen didn't feel afraid in the woman's presence, but rather safe. "Who are you?" she asked. The woman stepped closer and brushed Carmen's cheek with a cold hand. "You've grown up," she said. "Who are you? If you don't answer me now, I'll scream," threatened Carmen. The woman smiled. "Don't be hasty. I won't let any harm come to you, nor will I harm you." "Then why are you in the woods alone at night?" Carmen inqu
There was a sudden knock on Carmen’s door. "Come in." Shiandra entered. "What is going on a here, why are you crying child?" She asked, seeing that Carmen was wiping off the tears from her rosy red cheeks. "My father said that I am not his blood, was he telling the truth?" Carmen asked, looking at her reflection on the mirror. Shiandra grabbed a comb, then began to brush Carmen's hair gently "So is it true?" The princess asked. "When did he say that?" Shiandra asked, with a concerned look in her eyes. "Today! I overheard him talking to Jordan." There was an awkward silence in there room. "You should not worry yourself about anything. You are a queen and you will rule one day." Carmen found the words comforting, she stopped being sad. Shiandra left the room but caught Alex walking away from the door as if he had been listening over to the conversation and indeed he was. Shiandra was very upset. "Hey you! Stop right there." She commanded. Carmen was lost in sleep by
