Stranger To King: Eternal War 17
We all were silent; we weren't sure how to comprehend the situation. I took Mia by the hand and told her to trust me. I know that she is scared, shit— I am too. But we have no other choice. “I do trust you— what if this goes wrong?? What if all the possibilities and paths are cut? I can't risk that chance.” Mia said. “Mia, I do not want you to think I am overpowering you. I didn't want you to think that I mistreated your authority. I'm doing what is best for Satia. Our people can not die over this.” I explained as I hugged her. Tears hit my shirt as she returned the favor. Before we left, she stopped me to ask something, but words couldn't come out. We are wasting too much time talking. We have to get back to the main office. When we arrived, the guards had everything ready for us—the maps and where everyone was located. Sera’s troops are almost to the towns. How are we going to warn them?? So let's recap: this girl, Sera, came to the kingdom looking for Joshua and me. Apparentl
Stranger To King: Eternal War 18
~ Mia ~ I tried to get rest, but my body wouldn't let me. All I did was lie on my back. The baby began to kick like crazy— I know, baby boy, you must be in pain right now. I am sorry for putting you under all this stress. Without proper treatment, I don't think my son would last. I haven't gotten any prenatal or something. I am afraid of what may happen soon. I shut my eyes as I hum a song to get him to calm down. Usually, Anisel does it because he loves the sound of his dad’s voice. As I continued, my eyes got heavier to the point where I drifted to sleep. When I woke up, the sun was shining, and Anisel was right next to me. I thought I was napping— I didn't know I was that tired. Slowly getting up, I felt a rush of weirdness in my stomach—morning sickness. I cleaned up what I did until I got interrupted by a maid. "My lady, a doctor, is here to see you," she said. "I thought the citizens from the main town had been evacuated?? Why is a doctor here??" "Your parents request a

"YOU MURDERS!! ” I yelled. “Technically, someone else tried to assassinate you under our orders.” My mother said as she fixed herself in the chair. Lily, Anisel, and I stood there like statues, wondering what the hell she just said. “HOW COULD YOU!!” Lily leaped over the table until Anisel snatched her in midair. They were lucky it was not me because I would have tossed a knife at them. I thought we were past this. That is why they are here– to help. Anisel placed Lily down and began to pace. She explained since Satia was falling, why not walk in and take it back?? When they heard about the war, they agreed to help and took advantage. They knew I could not handle it, but surprise, it was still in one piece. They were going to do something earlier but waited until it was the right time. They were removing my protection behind my back– first, my servants. “Did you really think servants would actually fight in the frontlines??” my mother stated. I looked at Lily, who didn’t know; all

~ Decades ago ~ ~ Khali ~ “You want me to do what now??” Charity said as she cleaned the dishes. “Steal the diamond. Nobody would have expected you. It's going to be stolen anyway, so why not??” “Cause that would be stupid. Anisel and Joshua are already getting a reputation for following Sera. So, why would we do such an idiotic thing, Khali??” she said. I sat up and told her about the money. We could leave Satia and never come back. The boys need a better life, and we can give them that. She began to give me that look. We could finally get married as well if we do this. A wedding she always wanted. Charity’s eyes grew big as she almost dropped the dish. We can't be doing that because we are down to four plates. I went up and wrapped my arms around her. I placed my head on her shoulders. “Just imagine walking down the aisle with the most beautiful dress on. Having the boys dress like gentlemen and me as a king. We can go anywhere in the world. Just think about it, my love.”
Stranger To King: Eternal War 21
~ Mia ~ ~ Five years later ~ After these days, sitting around a fire is depressing. I watched the flames flowing into the sky and fade into the clouds. The black flakes float down, making the air smell like wood. I did not realize how much I was starting until someone came and sat by me. “Here you go, mother.” A little voice said as I glanced up. My frown turned into a smile as I didn't want him to see me like this. “Thank you, Julian.” I took the plate from his hand. As I was eating, Julian looked at the flames like he never saw them before. He was amazed how wood could do that. I giggled at my son’s actions; he was like his father. Always so curious about things. Ugh, Anisel, my love— I hope everything is okay. I hope you are still alive. The others and I have been looking for a place to call home. As for now, we are heading towards Havin. I ended up having Julian in the woods, and somehow, he was a healthy baby boy. Bright like you and active. But doesn't know his true nature
Stranger To King: Eternal War 22
We made it to Havin after a week of walking. The others and I haven’t been talking since that conversation. Everything I said was true, and I will stand by it. If my brother wants to go back, then be my guest. I am not dragging Julian into this mess. We reached the main gates of the kingdom, and it was stunning, just like the main walls at home. Havin has one of the most significant areas, with one wall protecting it. Each small section is a town with a different social class. “You will get as much information as possible to figure out what to do. At the same time, we will get a plan to head back. There is always a chance for you to join.” Joshua whispered in my ear. I walk in. Havin had so much, and it is upsetting me. I tried to arrange a meeting but was consistently declined, so I never met the Queen's face. Let's hope she is generous— the palace entered my sight, and it was absolutely divine. Everything was nice and tidy. I need advice from them. The garden is glistening in th
Stranger To King: Eternal War 23
Nina knew the situation and still gave us rooms in the palace. We could have gotten a tiny hut somewhere in the town, but it is okay. She wanted this to be home as long as possible until we got back on our feet. My mind was doing everything imaginable when I heard that. It was a complete relief. Julian came to me with a tiny crown on his head as I was sitting. "Look! Mommy, the queen, let me make a fake crown!! Look!!" he excitedly said. "Put it on. Let mommy see how handsome you are, my little prince." "Okay," he said as he placed it on his head. Seeing that made me cry a little bit— he really does look like a prince—his true nature. The crown belongs to Julian like Satia belongs to Anisel and me. My soft whimpers turned into a loud sob. Julian rushed to my side, dropping the crown on the floor. He wondered why I was crying like I did not like something. I patted his head and shook mine. Of course, he looks great in the crown, but I can't handle this right now. You can see a soft
Stranger To King: Eternal War 24
Later that evening, Nina had one of her guards watch Julian while we planned. The queen will oversee the operation as she knows Satia's layout. Nina placed a map up for all to see and explained the path to return. "Here. That is the fastest route to Satia. You will arrive there by tomorrow night if you don't take breaks. No guards will be around at that time. You will be free to roam; they will be locked up under the palace. You should know how to get there." Nina said. "What if they block those paths already?? What do we do now?? Nina reached into the drawer and pulled out photos. The paths are still cleared for now. The back door is probably our safest bet. Nobody knows about that but us— hopefully. Lily chimed in about the information. How does she know all of this?? The queen chuckled and smirked. When she heard about the great fall of Satia, she took advantage of the opportunity. Nina was going to take over if we didn't return. Luckily, we made it to Havin on time. She explai
