The King entered Jordan's house as the door has been wide opened. "Jordan!" He shouted"Jordan where are you?" He asked. Jordan took a sword then rushed to the King. "Have you come to kill me?" "Jordan what has come over you?" "Do you think i am mad?" "You seem mad. have you forgotten that i am your king?" "Do you know that Shiandra visited me again?" "What did she want today?" Jordan chuckled. "You really do not believe me,do you? She is here in the house,listening to us.She can turn into a bat" "Jordan I really think you need help." "But Sigh,why do you not believe me?" The King became still. Jordan stabbed his own stomach. But did not die immediately.. The King screamed for help. Two warriors carried Jordan and placed him on his bed. "Bring Doctor Collins." The King commanded. Fortunately the doctor was in Kineti, he arrived as soon as he was called. "What has happened?" The doctor asked. "I paid Jordan a visit this morning, the door was opened and so I assumed t
Nicholas went to his house, disappointed. He slept alone for that night and the night after that. But on the third day, he was determined to find Shiloh. He was directed to her house,which was five streets, south from the brothel. He did not even need to knock, Sheila was watering her plant's. The house was very small. "Shiloh,my love." Said Nicholas. "Who told you that I live here?" She asked. "My love I came to apologize." "I will never forgive you,a hundred times." "Please Shiloh. May I come in?" "No!" Nicholas jumped the fence as it was short and rushed to Shiloh. He grabbed her hand and began to plead. Shiloh was not willing to forgive him. "I have something for you." Said Nicholas, taking out a golden necklace,with a heart on it. "Is this for me?" Shiloh pretended to be excited. "Yes it is,my love. It is pure gold." Shiloh took the necklace and observed it. "It is beautiful. Can you place it around my neck." She said. Nicholas smiled,he placed the necklace just a
After Nicholas had long left, Shiloh began to sob. "Mother, I cannot sleep." Said Kevin,rubbing his eyes with his tiny hands. "Come here." Said Shiloh, wiping her tears away. "Did that man make you cry?" Shiloh chuckled. "No son. He makes me happy." "Then why are you crying?" "Did you really cry to see me?"No, I only said I miss you." "Is that the real truth or are you telling me lies?" "I swear that is the truth." Shiloh smiled. She gave her son a kiss on the cheeks. Then told him a lovely tale to make him sleep and he did finally sleep. Early in the morning, King Stephen woke up and saw that Carmen was not besides him. He went to the bath thinking he would find her there but still did not find her. He took the bath, slightly disappointed. When he was done, he put on his clean, grey coat and grey trousers,then placed his crown on his head. He went to the kitchen and found no one, but there was a good smell of something baked, perhaps bread or buns. He went to the dining
Later that day, Carmen felt hungry. She had a craving for meat,she went to the kitchen and found a new cook. She was short like Carmen, but a little older, she had brown curley hair to shoulder length as well as brown eyes. "Who are you and how did you pass the guards?" Carmen asked. "Forgive me my Queen, my name is Lilly. I only came here as a favour. You see Mrs Miller asked me to help her with her duties as she is too ill to come. But I can leave right away. Forgive me for not coming to you earlier, she also caught me by surprise."said the young woman."Oh. I will only forgive you because Mrs Miller is a very nice woman. Do you know how to cook?" "Yes my lady. I have cooked for many wealthy families." "Alright then. I need you to prepare turkey for me. when it's done, please tell me. Do not add any spices only put salt." "I will do so my lady. Thank you." Carmen smiled,then went to her bedroom to read a book. But because she was too hungry, she lay with her stomach flat and p
King Stephen had finally gained his energy back, he took a hot bath then found Carmen sitting in the dining room, grabbing an holding turkey with both hands. "My God! Is that an entire turkey?" The King asked. Carmen gave the King a stare,while chewing the pieces of meat with her teeth.King Stephen chuckled, then went to the kitchen. He found a new cook busy washing the pots. "Who are you and where is Mrs Miller?" Lilly rolled her eyes,before turning to the King with a wide smile on her face. "Mrs Miller is my mother, she has asked me to help her with her duties as she is very ill to come." "Oh. Well it's nice to finally meet you Lilly. Your mother always talked about you." "Good things I hope." Said Lilly. "Yes good things. Please don't be alarmed by my wife, she seems to love meat, i am used to her. Can you prepare two more turkeys. I am starving." "Yes my Lord." Said Lilly. The King returned to the dining room, Carmen was finished with her meal. She took her plate to the
The night was short. Morning arrived quickly. Nicholas arrived at the palace. Eager to speak with the king, who at the time was still laying on bed, resting from exhaustion. Nicholas entered at the palace gate, Carmen could hear him from her bedroom. She put on her gown and walked to the kitchen, Lilly was already preparing breakfast. They exchanged greetings. Before Nicholas could go upstairs, Carmen was behind me. "Stop!" she commanded. Nicholas turned his gaze toward the Queen."Pardon?" he said. "My husband is asleep and you arrived too early." "I always come early in the morning." "But we both know that is not true. You sometimes arrive at six in the morning, while in other days, you arrive here at nine in the morning." said Carmen. Nicholas walked closer to the Queen. "Then you must forgive my intrusion. May I see my brother now, your highness?" he asked. "The queen has laid her command. You will have to wait. I will see you at nine. I will be ready then." said The ki
Nicholas paid Shiloh a visit, he found her with Kevin. They exchanged greetings and hugged. "When did Kevin arrive?" Nicholas asked. "His father brought him this very morning. I went to your house but I did not find you." said Shiloh. "Forgive me my love. I was at the palace. I wish I could install some sense in my brother. He is become sloppy. Its disgusting." "My lord, you need to show your power. Then he will respect you. Your word will be final. You told me that he suggested new laws, but you never told me which laws." "He suggested that the old laws to change. That women must be equal to men." "Equal in which way?" "That women must also attend schools when they are supposed to be building their homes." "I think that is an excellent suggestion. Not all women want to marry and build the home, others want to build as well as be educated." Nicholas frowned. "My love but that is not how my father got his power." "My love, you should accept new change and be your own type of
"What is the meaning of this?" The king asked. "We are having a conversation. That is all." said Carmen. "You! what are you doing here with my wife?" King Stephen asked with rage in his eyes. "Forgive me my King I am the one who spoke with Carmen. I only needed someone to speak with." said Alex. "Did I not make it clear that I do not like my wife with another man close to her? You say you are childhood friends, yet you constantly come here to the garden and meet like lovers." Carmen stood from the bench. "My lord Alex did nothing wrong, I forced him into a conversation." she said. "Carmen go into the bedroom. I will speak with you there alone." The king commanded, his face red and his palms full of sweat. Nicholas was amused as he watched Carmen walking away quietly. The King grabbed her suddenly and slapped her across the face. Alex was shocked, Nicholas was shocked, Carmen was also shocked. "I never want to see you standing close with another man ever again. That behaviour
