“And if we can add more people for this…”
The woman’s words began sounding like mumbles as prince Alexander was losing his patience and interest in the conversation at hand.
He’d been remaining silent for quite some time, just tapping his fingers on the armrest of his chair while listening to the talk non-stop. His attention had wandered off the moment he heard the words ‘ask’ and ‘need’, things that he’d heard over and over again from the empire's ministers.
The food he had prepared had gone cold and his appetite had also waned, fully understanding that the woman was not there to discuss his terms of the bargain.
“My lady, you are not very familiar with how things are done within the empire, are you?” He finally speaks after the woman had ended her speech.
With a such shiny look on her face, lady Kaya smile
Somewhere within the town of Lusha, a secluded comes alive as trees and plants continue to grow, a huge crack on the wall was no longer able to keep anything away, shadows with glowing red eyes of different sizes began emerging from the darkness, slowly creeping into a broken down part of the city.Some of them slithered within the crevices of ruined houses or buildings, others climbed up trees, the smaller ones would make their way into the tunnels, and larger ones would continue moving into abandoned houses that we're able to fit them.All the while within the castle, unbeknownst to all, under the dungeons, within the empty room and halls, specks of orbs with different colors covered in a black speck slowly rose from the floors.Even with numerous black knights roaming around, keeping the whole palace tightly guarded, not one of the battle-worn invaders was able to notice any of the said phenomena. Not even their magic
Chaos ensued as people scattered all over the place, the earth continued to shake breaking some of the towers and causing some buildings to fall. Screams and shouting could be heard all over the place as certain parts of the palace began breaking.Karilaya was able to run outside, escaping the mansion when the quake subsided for a few moments.It wasn’t a surprise to her, seeing the abundant magic all over them, covering the whole land like huge towering waves. Though she wanted to move with haste she was unable to stand up, the earth seemed to be moving along with the waves of power around them making it move in unusual manners, almost changing certain parts within the place. Without much of an option, she began crawling to the nearest open space to avoid being hit by falling rocks or debris.It took a while before the whole ordeal had finally ended. When the shaking had finally stop Karilaya grabbed hold of
Voices could be heard all over the throne room as arguments continued to ensue, all except those from the Aselaysian kingdom who remained calm and quiet on their side.After the quake, everyone was in full disarray, no one had anticipated the incident and a number of the imperial forces were wounded, not to mention the whole palace suffered huge damages.The wizards, mages kept pointing out about the land's energies, the sorcerers were quite disturbed by the magic that was scattered all over the palace, while the witches kept mentioning something about an upcoming and imminent danger.Prince Alexander frowned as he watches the disarray, as none seemed to remember that all of the things that they kept on blabbering about have already been foretold by the previous magical adviser of Lusha. There were now several things running on his mind right now as he was beginning to feel regretful of his past decision.&ldq
“So what is it that you advice we do?” Prince Alexander turned to lady Kaya who remained silent afterward.Alexander knew he had to submit and admit defeat if he wanted to keep what little leverage he had with the woman. He knew that that time was the best chance he had to try and mend their broken connection, seeing as his advisers were at a loss.Lady Kaya quickly lowered her head when she faced him. “Apologies, my lord, seeing as we still garner distrust and fear from your men, I think it would be wise if we do not partake in this. As much as we would like to help, I think it would be best to avoid any kind of act that could cause us more spite and suspicion. I think it would be best if I just continue my efforts in preparing my body and my mind for the duty that you have bestowed upon me” The woman’s words were stern and full of authority even though it had that sweet warm tone.Alexande
Footsteps echoed through the hall as a line of witches of Westershire came running after their prince. After a few moments of debating the head of their coven decided to be excused from the magic council. “My lord!” Mistress Moryana called out, the woman was already behind the prince along with some of her subordinates. Prince Alexander immediately halted, stopping all of the guards that were following him. The knights gave way as their lord turned around to face the women. “Yes,” the prince’s voice was stern, his lips straightened as he saw the group. Mistress Moryana was quick to do a curtsy before speaking. “If you may allow, I would like to return to our covenant at the soonest, I wish to consult with my sisters about the whole predicament this land is facing, they might know of some things that I am unaware of,” she states, her hands were a bit shaky as the man’s brow raised upon hearing
She closed her eyes as she felt a tingle of spiciness in the spoon she placed on her lip. Her tongue played with it a bit more to make sure that it was to her liking. Finally satisfied with its taste she places the lid back on the pot to let it simmer a bit more.“Nana, have this remove after a few moments please,” she turned to the old maid who was patiently waiting behind her.“Yes, my lady,” Nana gave a curtsy and immediately took her place in front of the pot.All her maids were now very busy chopping, stirring, and frying. The kitchen in their mansion was now quite very busy as she had ordered several foods to be prepared. Delicacies she knew could only be found in their land.She had chosen the dishes to be cooked and made sure that preparations were properly done, she then oversaw the set up of the dining hall to make sure that the decorations and placing of some things were done to he
“My lord, why not take more soldiers with you?” Lord slog was still tailing the prince along with a whole platoon of soldiers.The men have been following Alexander the moment he had left the room, hearing that their liege had agreed to go meet lady Kaya the two advisers had been nagging their lord since the moment the priestesses had left with their message.“This very well could be a trap set up by them, who knows what they might be scheming.” Commander Tycus was beside his liege, trying to at least hold him off for a bit.Eyes close as he took in a deep breath, Alexander finally stopped. “Enough,” he growls turning his head towards the man.The commander was immediately lost for words, lowering his head to show his respect for his liege.“Forgive us, sire,” lord Slog quickly move in front of the commander, bowing his head as he t
Prince Alexander felt like something had erupted inside of him the moment he heard lady Kaya’s sweet gasp for air. It was not taking every ounce of strength within his body just to keep his sanity in check.Was it truly possible that he had finally tamed this wild maiden or was it just for show? Remembering the times that he felt like the woman was just teasing him, sending signs that she was subservient at one time but then would immediately return to her rebellious attitude.The way the lady would change her persona from strong to timid just drove him mad, increasing his need to dominate her even more. Not once has there been a woman in his life who was so complicated and untamable, that it just increased his wanting to make subdue the lady, making her servile to him.“Does this mean you’ve changed your mind again?” He asks, sensing that the return of the woman’s courage and rebelliousness
