Chapter 23
The mysterious and handsome stranger came in and closed the door quietly.
“What are you doing here?” I wiped away my tears with the back of my hand and stared at him while he took off his hood.
“I was worried about you. I’ve been waiting outside for a long time!” he said and I knew he noticed that I was crying. He reached out and touched my face lightly. “It’s your mother, right?” He wanted to confirm it.
I blinked fast to stop myself from crying again. I didn’t want the stranger to see my vulnerable side. “Yes. You really know me, huh?” I chuckled bitterly and turned around but he held my arm and pulled me into his embrace. I suddenly felt warm and protected in his strong arms, something I never felt before. His unique scent made me more aware of him, making my heart to lighten up. The pain and loss were eased by him in an instant—at that moment.
‘How did he do that?’ I wondered.
“It’s okay to cry. I even cried when she was gone,” he revealed serenely.

The stranger’s handsome face went serious. “Unfortunately, they caught him.”I nodded. “Really unfortunate, indeed,” I agreed. I personally owed that being because he stopped the death of my two fellow Aigleans. I silently promised that I’d make it even with him—if he’d still be alive to know how grateful I was. “So, where is he now?”He shrugged. “I think, they already put him in Uzob.”“In Uzob?” I echoed.That was where all Aryan prisoners who committed grave crimes against the Aryan royalty and the Aryan beings were put for life. I heard that it was a nasty place. But I had never been there myself because it was off limits to everyone except for the royal family and some high-ranking officials. Therefore, the relatives of the prisoners would never ever see them again once they were put in Uzob. And it was unheard of that an Aryan prisoner in Uzob could escape. I wondered how the place looked like. Perhaps, I’d visit it one day as an elite warrior just to

Each of my opponents took their own weapons. The first one had a pair of butterfly swords, the second had a bow and arrow, and the third had a scythe. I knew that the second and the third could well attack me without getting near me while the other had to come closer. I was weighing my options and was trying to guess who would attack me first as I couldn’t probe into their minds because of their distance. How I wished now that I had Shahrae’s skill of foreseeing the future even for only a few dots.The second started to attack me first and I dodged his arrows. He was not only using one but three at the same time. The others let him attack me for a few dots. I would either levitate, cartwheel, duck, sidestep, flip or use my poniard so I won’t get hit. I was quite amazed by his talent and agility. His arrows seemed to have an endless number even though I’ve only seen three left every time I looked at his back!What was that?In exasperation, I stunned him with my bla

I saw my sister cover her mouth with worry as she looked at me fear in her eyes. I went down to my knees in the middle of the ring while Frith stood next to me, ready to give me the final blow. My eyes strayed to the stranger who attempted to step closer to the ring but I saw that he was stopped by the General of the Elite Aryan Army.My steely blue eyes came alive and my white aura kept clearing the poison that was spreading all over my body. Frith could see that my health was improving instead of deteriorating. He was motionless like he was under a spell. I reached out to my breast pocket and ate the rest of the guabula flower. That was his mistake because he let me eat it. I stood up and delivered a palm heel on his chest that made him stumble backward some feet away. Alright, he was a formidable opponent. I thought he was going to fall off the ring when I did that.We fought by hands and feet, as well as knees and elbows. He was fast at counterattacks and attacks. Bu

Rugien brought me to up to his chambers, it turned out. His room was so huge that I thought more than ten families could live there. I looked around with fascination as I put Ponpon on a nightstand near Rugien’s bed. His eyes automatically scanned the huge room, as far as he can see.It was a rectangular, with bare walls that were made from the hardest rock on the planet. I was sure that it wouldn’t be broken easily if the palace was going to be attacked. There were dozens of chandeliers that were made of crystal and ruby, which also gave an enlivening atmosphere in the quiet room. There were a couple of walk-in closets to the left and a personal comfort room to the right. The round bed was in the middle, which was covered by blue-green cover. It was pastel, so it was cool to the eyes. The bed was some meters away from a huge closed window where the palace grounds could be seen. I wondered if he saw me and my sister that day when we came here.“This is so… big!” I manage

Rugien kneeled down in the middle of my parted legs and took my lips with his again. His tongue thrust inside my mouth and explored my depths, while his hands caressed every part of my supple body. My mind was centered only to him, and everything seemed to fade away. It was only him and me at the moment and nothing else. Not even the dots exist. Yes… space and time were nothing at this very moment… because I was with him… The air became him, whom I took with every breath. His scent was like a balm to my painful experience, to my loss.My hands also caressed all over his hard muscled body. His skin was smooth and warm. There was nothing that pleased me more right now but to touch and to be touched by him. My hands gently went down his chest and muscled abs, making him groan in anticipation. Then I went bolder and my hand went further down to stroke his hard and thick length as he too stroked my damp and hot folds. We both moaned with pleasure. “Oh, Xerra…”I bit my

Rugien caressed my cheek and lips before his mouth came much more closer to touch mine. Then I was swept away again by the consuming desire of wanting to be possessed by him. Again. His kiss went on deeper and deeper, hungrily, before he left my mouth to go down and tease my breasts. My hands caressed his scalp and my fingers were buried in his long hair. I pulled it with too much ecstasy. His tongue was encircled over each peak, which made my core go damper with each passing moment. As his kisses trailed down further down below, toward the V of my body, my back arched on its own volition. He then parted my thighs, and I gasped when his tongue and lips played the mound and folds and the hood. My eyes rolled up because of the brand new delicious feeling he sent throughout my core and my body. He sucked and licked the folds, as well as the sensitized nub that my body shuddered in delight. “Rugien!” I moaned without cease as he did it. “You’re so sweet, my lovely X

General Isoog and Daraton bowed their heads. Yes, it was the King. My heart pumped so hard against my chest. I felt that Ponpon peered upward to look at the King, too.We were ordered to turn around and bowed to him. He was several paces away from us, as usual. It was because of the law that he made himself, to protect himself, of course.He looked at me like he was mocking me. “Xerra, I wish to talk to you alone, child,” he added.I glanced at the General and he nodded. Then, he ordered everyone to leave while he and Daraton stepped farther to give me and the King some space. I remained where I stood, waiting for him to say anything more. I kept my face neutral. I hoped it was not a resting bitch face.I wondered what it was he wanted to talk to me. Then, I remembered Rugien’s words about his father looking for another Queen. My fists clenched tightly at my sides as I looked at the King but with a straight face.“You’re not going to ask me what it is?”
XERRA Chapter 31
I was assigned to guard the palace hall together with Jegosh and Frith for three days now. Frith was near the door while Jegosh and I were near the walls that were on either side of the throne.I wondered why Frith was with us when he was not a rookie like us. It was a not-exciting job. I’d rather be outside of the palace grounds or the palace gates where it would be busier than to watch the King’s empty throne, especially at this time which was early morning. Our schedule was graveyard. It was too quiet and I was already bored to death.At around this time, I would have been done with my running around the Aiglean Forest, already took some bark juice for my sister… I suddenly shook my head mentally. The thought of her made my heart feel heavy and wary. I wondered what she was doing right now, if she was safe, and if she was doing house chores like any ordinary days. I also wondered if she just stayed at home or visited some friends and neighbors just like she does somet
