Even after the knights left, he continued to lie there, since they weren’t the ones he had been begging for in the first instance.“Now what am I going to do with you,” Tefani said out loud, blocking his sense of smell, since he wouldn’t be surprised if the beggar had already peed himself out of fear.Tefani had no intention of killing him since all he wanted was loyal spies that would do his bidding and do him, the beggar was a good place to start.He was still thinking that when he saw the small mirror he held in his hand light up, one that showed that Xena had finally gotten the chance to get back to him.“Scurry along. I’ll be in touch,” Tefani said to the trembling vampire still kneeling on the ground beside him.But he had barely spoken when he watched the vampire jump to his feet and dash away in fear, the moment he heard Tefani’s words with hopes that he wouldn’t be as unlucky as he was to meet Tefani again.“Uncle Tefani…” A soft female voice could be heard streaming into the
From her actions, she could tell that even Sheila, with how grumpy she usually was, was excited about the upcoming day, especially since it was the day Hurai would most likely recognize her wolf mate.“Okay…”Xena responded, hurrying after her, while adjusting her clothes to ensure that no part of them had been squished together when she decided to squeeze herself into a tight corner, one that would make it difficult for her to be found.Meanwhile, while the servants of both princess Fera and Hurai preparing for the wolf transformation ceremony that was coming up in a few days, others were also preparing for the day.“You want us to attack all three of them covertly at their wolf transformation ceremony? Do you think the king wouldn’t have prepared enough anti-magic to ensure that no witch or wizard would be able to appear and disappear at will?” Council Oreal asked while looking around the table trying to confirm that he wasn’t the only one that heard what Council Godavari had just sai
Talon was pissed.Not only had Kal distanced himself from him in a clear manner, but he also sent him on useless errands.It was so bad that Talon could no longer lie to himself that Kal was doing such a thing to protect him.“He knows… it's the only explanation for his behavior,” Talon thought his face squished up in clear annoyance that bothered on hate as he thought of the princess whose Kal’s affections were set on.“It couldn’t even be a vampire. It had to be a stinky werewolf,” Talon thought realizing that if he was given the opportunity then he would make sure to end her puny life.Not only was she baggage but she was also a danger to Kal, one that he most likely saw but chose to ignore.Talon stood at a far enough distance from Hurai’s quarters, having watched it long enough to know exactly what the routine was, even that of the Knights on Patrol but still he couldn’t figure out a way to make sure that she stayed away from Kal.“Maybe I should kill one of her maids,” Talon thou
He already had his alibi prepared, which meant that what he needed was to arrive back at the scene of the crime when everyone began to make a fuss.The second Hurai sent Rena on her way back to her own quarters which was a small building beside Hurai’s own, where her maids lived, she fell on her bed with a huge sigh on her lips rubbing her forehead, with hopes that it would somewhat reduce the stress she felt.Yes, her wolf transformation day was near and she herself was excited and she could also feel the excitement of her maids, but she still couldn’t help but feel that they were doing too much.Every day, they gave her extra baths with new ingredients in them, ones rumored to be even better than the last even if she saw no particular difference or change in the radiance of her skin.Even today, she had watched Sheila pull Xena away to the market and the fact that they weren’t back yet showed that they were still sorting the things they brought back in their own quarters.“I’m tired.
At that moment, Hurai not only felt anger but fear. If Sheila and Xena had been around it could have also been either of them, and she would have been able to do nothing about it.Especially about Xena, since she was partly the reason why she entered the palace in the first place and she couldn’t even protect her.Moreover, Rena along with Sheila was someone that had served her since she was a child, which meant that she treated them well like friends, something that everyone knew.So the fact that she died right in front of her quarters alone, without anyone else being attacked meant that she had actually been singled out and attacked.“Princess Hurai, I know that…” Allen began speaking to console Hurai only to stop when he saw her stare right into his eyes with a cold expression on her face one he had never seen before, while shaking her head at him.“I need you to catch whosoever it was. I don’t care how you do it,” Hurai ordered, watching the three knights in front of her instantly
Still, that didn’t at all stop Kal from going ahead to sneak into Hurai’s room like a breeze in the wind.Unlatching the closed window was easy, as he appeared inside the room faster than the knights around could spot him.Looking around the room he was slightly surprised to see Hurai face down on her bed, in a way that showed that she was fast asleep.Knowing her, Kal had been sure that she would at least be awake mourning her maid.Curious, he walked closer to the right side of the bed away from the window he came in through, where her body was turned to.The moment he got to her, he wasn’t particularly surprised to see her face drenched in tears with slightly puffy eyes that showed that she had cried herself to sleep.“Hey…” he whispered close to her ears, watching her continue to sleep regardless of his subtle way of trying to wake her up.“Hey…” he whispered again in a slightly louder tone, pushing softly against her shoulders when he die so.He couldn’t wait for her to wake up an
“Move. I don’t have the patience to deal with you today,” Kal ordered moving forward to step past Allen, determined to no longer pay him any more attention, only to feel the sharp movements of the wind to his left side, one that instantly made him dart blink away the next second.“You’re fast,” Allen commented, flinging the sword from side to side in such a way that showed that he had only just swung it in Kal’s direction and was prepared to finish what he started.“Fight me…Prince Kal,” Allen said in a slightly commanding tone, one that did nothing but grate on Kal’s nerves as he stared at the proud night in front of him who dared to get in a fighting position.It was obvious to even Kal, that the last thing he should do was injure Allen, Hurai’s knight especially after Rena just died. A fact that Kal was sure that Allen was aware of.With a fierce determination in his eyes, Allen darted forward swinging his sword strongly at Kal with all his might, not at all holding back a single bi
Mainly cause of the events of the day before, because of the death of Rena, Hurai’s maid, security had doubled and tightened even more than King Horansi planned.To him, that was a sign or a warning that the ceremony that was going to take place was in danger of being attacked.This was why, the next day he summoned Hurai and Fera to his quarters the second the day brightened up even before any of them had breakfast. For darun, he could always speak to him whenever he wanted.King Horansi was sitting behind his table with some paper in front of him when he watched his daughters walk in followed by the Knight he had sent to get the both of them.“Leave..” King Horansi ordered not at all in the mood for formalities, as he watched the knight about to drop to his knees and pay homage to him like his personal knights were required to.“Sit…” he again ordered inspecting each of them, as they formally looked up from their previously bowed position to sit on the two chairs directly opposite th
