Carmen returned after a few minutes with logs of wood then placed them on the ground carefully. She arranged them accordingly then made a fire using two rocks. The wood ignited. "May you borrow me your sword." She said. The King took out his sword then handed it over to Carmen.She began to remove the skin of the animal. She was quick. "How did you learn to do these thing's?" The King asked. "I read books before. Then taught myself when I arrived in the wilderness. " She said. Carmen inserted the sharp point of the sword in the deers mouth,till the point showed in the other side of the deer. She used logs to balance the deer as the fire burned it thoroughly. Cooking it from within,to the outside. When the meat was cooked. Carmen cut the meat into pieces with sword she was using. She placed it on a clean plastic table she had in her ship. "Eat!" She said. The King was in doubt, but a small taste of the meat tantalized his taste buds. He began to eat."It taste good,doesn't it?"
Carmen stayed hidden for a week, but one day Nicholas tried to sneak into the King's bedroom as soon as his brother had left with to attend his business. Nicholas had a spare King which he had made without the King's knowledge a long time ago. Carmen heard the turning of the key. She assumed it was the King, therefore she continued to lay on the bed while reading a book. She was startled when another man entered. He resembled the King, but he was much shorter and leaner in body size. Nicholas was just as surprised. "Who are you?" He asked. The King had forgotten something, he went back to the bedroom and saw door wide open. He never worried. He ran inside and found Nicholas standing there in the centre of the bedroom looking at Carmen. "Have you lost something in my bedroom" the King asked, quite irritated by his brother. "No not really, I thought I heard something. Excuse me." Said Nicholas. "Are you alright, did he touch you or do anything you did not like?" "No he didn't,is
A few days later, rumours had spread about King Stephen. "My Lord I have come to warn you. The people are saying evil things about you." Said Gideon,one day as the King was in his library finalising the finances of the country. "What King of evil things?" "They are saying you have abducted a woman and are treating her as your sex slave instead of marrying her." The King was shocked. "But that is not true. I do agree that I have been hiding a woman but she is not my slave and I have never abducted her." Gideon stood silently.Surprised by the King's confession. He himself did not know the King had a woman hidden in his room. "My Lord. I suggest that you marry her before a war comes to your door." "You are correct by saying so. I will ask the woman, if she is now ready to marry as I have also been waiting for her to approve my proposal." Gideon's hate eased. His King was a good man afterall. "Must I send out invites regarding the wedding?" "No do not worry. I will firstly disc
The following morning, invitations were sent out to the citizen's of Aota,concerning the royal wedding. Some invitations also went to Kineti as well as Gishon. Some of King Cyrus's wealthy friend's, arrived in Aota. A dress maker arrived at the palace she took Carmen's measurements and adjusted one of the wedding dresses that were already available in her wedding store. The royal cooks made a feast. Four cows were killed, to serves the people. The King also bought a new blazer, white in colour. Carmen was applying make up, when her father entered the bedroom. "My dear Carmen. You seem do happy." Said the King. ."I am happy father. King Stephen has been good to me and very patient.""But is he truly worth it? You never even told me how the both of you met." Carmen chuckled. "I will tell you when I am less stressed about this wedding." She said."Do you think I did wrong?" "Did wrong with what?" "Killing Fiona?" Carmen turned her gaze to her father. "I have never seen you tak
Marriage to King Stephen was great in the first three years. Carmen had still not voice out her opinion on the matter that had been bothering her in a long time. She had grown in a royal palace, she was mindful at how her father was Ruling Kineti. She compared Aota and Kineti. She saw that their financial situations was almost similar, as well as their way of doing things, however Aota did not have enough strong warriors. Only Gideon was the strongest among them all, hence he had been giving the position to lead. That proved rather dangerous as their enemies could destroy the country with one war. The Queen was restless over the matter. She finally found the courage to open her thoughts. "My King, I have been meaning to speak with you about a certain matter." She said, in a trembling voice. By paying full attention to his wife, the king was able to recognise the fear in his wife as she spoke. He placed the ink as well as the paper he had been working on and gave Carmen his full atte
Carmen returned back to Aota. King Stephen was waiting patiently for her arrival. "My lady, you finally arrived. I have been worried." Said the King. "But my King, I told you that I will return right away. You worry needlessly." "Did Alex agree?" "He told me he will tell me. I do not know what has happened between Alex and I. We were best friends once. But know he has been treating me like a stranger. We are not as close as we used to be." Said Carmen"When did you realise that he was treating you strange?" "As soon as I married King Darius. Perhaps he does not want to overstep the boundary. I am a Queen afterall." "Alternatively,he could have feelings for you." Carmen laughed. "That is not possible. We have been friends for too long. I could have noticed something by now." She said. "Perhaps he is hiding his feelings from you." "Then he does good by hiding them if indeed he does have them,which I do not believe even for a second." King Stephen did not want to overthink th
Meanwhile in Kineti, Jordan was finally free to open up to the King about what he had been hiding all along. "Old friend it has been a long time." Said King Cyrus as Jordan was making his way into the library,where he was most certain he would find him. "I did not come here to stay long,I only needed to speak and perhaps get a second opinion." "You want advise?" The King asked,with a surprised look. "You can say that. Do you still remember that night when I was in Shiandra's room?" "Old friend, I told you to forget her " "Sigh, I saw who I thought was Alex on my doorstep. I opened up for this person and even gave them my meal.." The King interrupted. "What do you mean when you say, you though the person was Alex?" "The person pretended to be my son. I suddenly fell down after having tasted the wine in my glass which I had left on the table as I was dishing up for this person who looked like my son. I began to tremble,I remember not being able to breath properly and unable to
"You seem troubled." Said Shiloh. "Do I not deserve to be a king?" Nicholas asked. "You do my lord." "Then why do I feel like I am living under my brother's shadow?" "But you are, he lives in the palace, while you live here. You will always be under your brother's shadow unless you do something about it." Said Shiloh, biting Nicholas's ear softly. "But if I live there in the palace, I will never have the freedom of making hot love to you on the dining room table." "I would feel better if we made a three some with one of the warriors, what's his name, Gideon." said Shiloh. Nicholas stood up agrily. "You are a whore indeed. How could you want another man when I am here with you!" he shouted. Shiloh was surprised. "My lord, what is wrong. I was not serious." she said. "But you were. I have seen how you look at him sometimes. You really want him inside you. Don't you?" Shiloh kept silent for a while. "You know what get out of my house, you whore!" Nicholas said, grabbing Shil
