I was running around searching the vicinity of where Ragnar might be. All around me were Ragnar’s knights fighting the enemy."I have to find him." My heart was racing rapidly.Remembering my dream, Ragnar was fighting with a man with black robes and I wasn’t able to see his face. But judging by the circumstances, Ragnar might be facing Darius in person.Darius was the one behind this ambush just to get me. He knows he can’t get me while Ragnar is still alive. For sure he would face Ragnar himself because he is the only one that can do so. I was frantically searching the area but still can’t find Ragnar. "Where might you be, Erik?" I was getting frantic by every minute.In my dream Ragnar was able to handle his opponent with his master sword skills. What I am afraid of is that Darius was like me, a Spartan of royal blood. For sure his magic abilities are like mine or maybe even stronger. And remembering the arrow that pierced Ragnar on his back, just by remembering it sent chills up

[Ragnar’s POV]General Marcus and the crown prince Williams had persuaded me to go back to the palace and get treatment for the poison.Once I was laid down in bed in my previous living quarters in the Wales royal palace, the royal physician Dr Crane was the one that came to look at me. "It’s a wonder that you can still move with this kind of poison in your system." Dr Crane said while concocting an antidote. "This kind of poison is strong and can kill a normal human being within only three hours. You were lucky that I have the necessary ingredients in my possession to make an antidote." "My body has been accustomed to different kinds of poisons since I was young." I replied. "I am immune to majority of poisons." I remember when I was still a child, many of father’s concubines tried to kill me with poison just because my mother was greatly favored by him. They were afraid that I will become a thorn to their sons’ future. Luckily my mother was an expert with herbs and was able to ma

I am currently in a war council meeting with my most trusted generals and advisers. My war council consists of four generals and two of my most trusted advisers.General Mitch and Kelvin were young talented generals that are under my command in the Midnight army. Now that I have become king, I have given them the full authorization to use my Midnight army in this war.General Austin and Gregory were veteran generals that command the royal army of Avalon. They have fought together with my father in the last Great War. I believe in their capabilities and experience in fighting a war.My two most trusted advisers were Austin and Gregory. They are sons of Archdukes in Avalon. Both of them are not heirs to their fathers’ dukedom because they are not the eldest sons in their family, but I have seen their talent and capabilities and handpicked them to be my left and right hand men.Of course Kyler will always be my personal assistant and is my most trusted one of all. He is my shadow, one wh

Like I thought, speaking with her won’t do any good. I am really a prisoner here in this country. I have to find a way to escape and send word to Ragnar. "And I think you will not want to leave your mother here, correct?" The queen was smiling confidently while looking at me. "My mother? Is it true that my mother is still alive?" I wavered while hearing about my mother. "Yes, your mother Diana is also here inside this palace." Queen Fiona said. "She is my twin sister that I love. We were lucky that we found her before she breathed her last."My mind was now in turmoil. I am afraid that my face shows what I am feeling right now. I can’t keep up the face of holding my ground just a while ago. "Child, can you hear me out first before branding me as your enemy?" Queen Fiona looked sorrowful. "After that I can send you to see your mother."I nodded slowly after hearing her words. All I wanted to do now is see my mother. "Maybe you know about the last Great War that ended our country o

I quickly walked towards her and hugged her tightly. "Mama. Mama, I’m so happy that you are alive."Tears started to fall from my eyes down to my cheeks. The happiness I am feeling right now is welling up inside my heart. I slowly released her from my embrace to look at her face. Looking closely you can see some age lines in her face. Of course she has aged these past few years since I last saw her.The time I last saw her was at her death bed. She has been sick for a long time and her body was all skin and bones. Her face was pale and her eyes were lifeless. But now I am happy to see her with a healthy body and a rosy glow in her cheeks.But when I looked at her eyes, it was the same eyes I saw when she was dying. It was lifeless. "Mama, mama it’s me Isabella." I tried to call out to her.She didn’t reply but only smiled at me. "Mama, can’t you remember me?" My voice started to tremble. I was getting anxious.My mother looked away from me and resumed looking outside the window. "
