Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE ************* We were just halfway through supper when we were suddenly struck by a scream that rented all the air and shattered the meal. The words spoken, of course, were almost inaudible; yet the tone was unmistakably clear-an expression of despair and anguish, full of dread, and very quickly sending a chill through my spine. "Who's that?" I asked Jacob quickly, with eyes wide open in curiosity and concern, my head turning toward him with expectation to know who could be crying. I waited, leaning over the table on my elbows, with my fingers tightly entwined, for Jacob to complete his response while the argument persisted and became more raucous, stubborn as a mule, my anxiety feeding upon it. While Jacob's eyes flicked almost afraidly towards the window, he breathed, as "I don't know, madam," he said, "Maybe it's that stranger.” Suddenly, I remembered that the odd man was still in the compound, and an ill-restrained smile crept over my face. A shock from the stranger seemed funn

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FOURKALMIA’S POV I stood at the mouth of the compound, surveying the surroundings, mind racing with apprehensive thoughts that settled so deeply in me. The glorious sun beat down on my skin-even then, a chill finger ran down my spine at the thought of that suspicious, unknown man lurking about in shadow. Turning to the gate man, Jacob, my voice firm but tinged with a hint of concern, ready to boil over into full-blown anxiety. "Have you seen any strange or unknown man in this compound?" I asked with a glare in his direction, searching for an answer to any relief in his hesitation or deception. The light of my gaze fell on him, my eyes trying to pry the truth from the web he had spun with his words. Jacob squirmed beneath my scrutiny, his eyes darting back and forth like a trapped animal seeking a way out. The gatekeeper Jacob nodded slowly, his head drooped, remembering some dreadful thing he was trying hard to forget. "Yes, ma'am, I did," he muttered, voice straining away from him l

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY TWO KALMIA’S POVIn that moment, when he closed the distance, my eyelids began to stretch open wide, and my heart raced with doom. My heart traveled through my mind, but my feet were frozen in place. He came to a halt only when he reached my position. His hands slapped on the sides of my body against the wall, effectively trapping me.It made me horrified as well as angry to realize that I was cornered. "What are you up to, Mr. Man?" Drawing on every ounce of my control not to tremble, I demanded. In reply, he merely broke into a wicked laughter, a sneer stretching his lips that sent ice through my veins.I might have exploded at that moment, a kettle boiling over from a stove that had been left unattended. I was so angry, I didn't think before pushing him with all my strength. My hands hit his chest, and he stumbled backward, crashing against the table. The table couldn't take the weight, splintering and sending fragments flying outwards.Like I had a vision of his demise, heartrending o

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY TWO************ I was just trying to whisper out my distressing tale to Kalmia. "I don't know...I'm getting tired," was what I almost whispered, weighty as this particular discussion was about our investigation-the extensive researching hours and endless leadless cat-chases. It had been suffocating. I am drowning in the ocean of confusion with no lifeline around. But Kalmia responded to that immediately. "No, baby, please don't say that," she said urgently, almost in an insulted tone. "We can't back out now, not when we finally got it." It was almost like a shot of adrenaline into my system, with its reaction speeding up in me again. The conversation turned back on topic after the ringing of my phone. My eyes fell on the screen displaying Joseph's name. I paused at the moment and thought of whether I should answer it or not, but the hopeful gesture from Kalmia egged me to pick it up. "Joseph," I stated with an unyielding tone, calling him on speaker. His voice became alive and then i

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY ONE ************* Kalmia probed, "Okay baby, what do we do now?" a lilt of curiosity and little anticipation in her voice. The words had barely settled in the air between us, suspended in that moment of expectation, and she waited for my response. Her expressive eyes were surveying mine, glittering with hope, inspiration, and insight. I paused for a second to marshal my thoughts, sifting through instances.. The silence suspended in the air held the anticipation alive. Finally, I answered, my voice heavy and slow, "I don't know." These words came out like molasses, rich and thick as syrup, while I weighed my thoughts to determine what, if anything, we were going to do. Kalmia’s eyes were still on mine; encouraging and shining with expectation were those eyes. Softly and encouragingly, she urged me on: "First of all, let me call my friend, yeah, you are right, please do that." The words came in a smooth rush, gentle yet full of hope and promise. Her fingers moved swiftly and surely over

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTYARROW'S POV I stood there, feeling that afterglow of a passionate session, with pride and satisfaction. "Why won't you get tired?" I asked, my voice low and husky, my eyes lighting up with amusement, "Don't you know I'm a king?" "When I insert my dick in you, I shoot fire," I said, letting my words hang in the air dangling like a challenge, a promise of pleasure and passion. Kalmia laughed immediately like a melody in the room, her eyes sparkling with mirth and amusement. "I consent, just let me rest small," the whispered voice was barely audible, like gentle, honeyed breezes on a summer's day. Gazing at her laid out on the bed in all relaxation and satisfaction, I could feel something brewing in me--an emotion of love and tenderness. "Mr. Dick," she called in a voice husky and seductive as her eyes sparkled with amusement and playfulness. So, she stretched out on the bed, at last relaxed and satisfied, and something seemed to bubble up inside me--a feeling of fondness and tendern

Chapter: TRAINING WITH THE CHILDREN “So until the royal investigator is punished for the accusation without evidence, I will be away from the castle”, Brenna said calmly. The king sat at the tip of her bed and turned to her, “You have to understand that I am a king and have certain duties. Compromising should not be allowed in this position! You chose this life when you married me, you should expect things like this. Yes, you are innocent but the royal investigator has to do his job. You definitely cannot hold such a big grudge against him”. Brenna smiled, “I am your wife before being your subject. You are my husband before being the king. If you do not care about me, save my face at least”. “What nonsense! What do you mean by I do not care about you? I am doing this because I care about you! If I let this slide without investigations, it will look like I’m covering up for you”, the king replied. “I will not sit back and watch the insult! If he cannot prove me guilty in three days, please permit me to do wh

Chapter: TRAINING WITH THE DRAGONS“Mother, what brings you here?”, Azar decided to ask to end the topic of pregnancy and avoid further fight. “To take her, training will begin shortly. I would have sent someone to come take her but I was afraid she’d decline”, the empress said with a smile plastered on her face. “I’m afraid she’d have to skip training for now”, Azar said. The empress looked at Azar, a little dumbfounded, “I am quite hurt that you dare speak against your mother and the Empress but it’s fine, I understand your sentiments as she is with your child. But your father and I have already discussed this. She is not even worthy to carry your…” “Mother”, Azar cut her mid-sentence, “Enough with all these. She cannot begin training immediately because she is with child” Kaliyah was touched seeing the way Azar supported her but then she thought, “It’s not like he cares about me, it's about his child”. “She is weak and clueless about this empire and about the kind she carries in her womb! She has to be taught!

Chapter: WITH CHILD“It’s nice to meet you, I am Princess Kaliyah”, Kaliyah greeted monotonously and without expression. The woman clicked her tongue, “And I am Azar’s mother, the empress!” Kaliyah raised her brows, Azar? It must be the name of the father of her child. She quickly schooled her expression and bowed slightly, “My honor. Is there a problem?” “No, I came to see the human we have been expecting”, she couldn’t hide her disgust when she said ‘human’, “You will begin training in 30 minutes, get ready”, she said and turned to leave. “Wait”, Kaliyah stopped her and the empress paused, without turning back, “I just got here, shouldn’t you think of giving me food first and letting me rest before I go for whatever training I need to go for” The empress chuckled and turned sideways to talk to her, “You are hungry and you cooped yourself up in your room, that’s funny. Were you expecting me to come to serve you? Get ready, in half an hour, you will begin training. Being late will attract punishment

Chapter: THE LETTERIn the throne room, The king was seated on his throne with a distraught expression on his face. The royal investigator, Morat, the chief commander, Brenna and Kenna, were seated in the throne room.The sky was dark and cloudy as it was about to rain and the hall was dimly lit concealing the look of anxiousness and fear on the faces of Brenna and Kenna.The royal investigator cleared his throat, “The contents of the letter are highly incriminating, proper investigation has to be done, my king”“Are you trying to say I would do such a thing? Are you trying to say that I would leave the kingdom without even telling the king at night? This is treason!”, Brenna said angrily and stood up, “The writer of that false letter and the royal investigator must be charged with treason”. Kenna stared at her mother silently with obvious fear in her eyes.“But I am not the one who wrote the letter”, The royal investigator retorted politely with an expressionless face.“Silence everyone!”, the king orde

Chapter: LEAVING WITH THE DRAGONThe days passed quickly, with Kaliyah keeping to herself and not leaving her room to avoid further drama. She had to be careful, she didn’t know what Brenna was planning. It was already the day when the dragon said he would come to take her.She was sitting by her dresser with Rheagal styling her hair.“Do you think I should style my hair or just let it down? The dragon females rarely style their hair”, Kaliyah said thinking of all the female dragons she had met before. They were beautiful but arrogant and they looked down on humans. She wondered how her life with them would be.“Whatever you want will be fine but you have to look presentable as you will finally be meeting the dragons today”, Rheagal replied. She was nervous and scared of what may happen today. Brenna had been silent and had done nothing since Kaliyah almost had a miscarriage, it made Rheagal think she was up to something.“I’ll leave my hair down then”, Kaliyah said, “Bring me the letter I wrote yesterday”.Rheagal w

Chapter: BLEEDINGThe following morning, the atmosphere of the palace was stained with worry and tension as news of Princess Kaliyah’s bleeding had spread in the palace. The maids and workers in the palace had already been warned to not spread the word outside the palace. Naturally, news of Kaliyah having a miscarriage was already in the air in the palace.In Kenna’s brightly decorated room, she was at the dresser while her maid was styling her hair. She was ecstatic at the news she heard. If she couldn’t get a dragon, Kaliyah would not also be given that privilege. The maid who was putting the pins suddenly stopped, “Milady, wouldn’t it be weird for you to dress up like this when such a shocking thing happened last night?”Kenna’s smile wavered a little and she turned to the maid, collected a pin from the maid’s hand and stabbed her in her arm, “Since when were you given the privilege to talk to me casually?”The maid stuttered and moved backward in fear as Kenna moved towards her. She couldn’t even c
