Joshua lead us to where he had parked the speedboat the last time, he had told me that he had begged those people and they have agreed to lease it to him for another few days which I almost didn't want to believe. Those guys were beating him so much, when did go to them to apologize for what he had done and how did he... He hopped on and asked us to move onto the boat which we did immediately, halting the train of my thoughts. I wonder where and when we would get to our destination if we had one. Maybe we would only be touring every woods around and some times become rogues like him or lone wolf for I still couldn't think of why we hadn't reach out to one town that would at least keep us safe and away from the king guards. Joshua revived the engine on the boat, the first time there was a negative response from the engine as it didn't even pick up. He rocked again, with me expecting it to give a positive response once and for all but to no avail and in fact, it was as though the engine
My Nanna laid, facing the other side and I wondered if he was angry with me or something. It was worth it if she was angry with me because I am the one who put her in this dangerous situation. I knew she still believed that I only misunderstood Johannes but I had no doubts that he really wanted to get rid of me after I produce for him. This guy betrayed me and I am not going back to there, the thought of him was even making me more angrier. Each time I remembered him and the condition he had put me in, all I felt for him was disgust. Joshua had gone out of the room, after telling me that he was a lone wolf, a rogue and nothing else. I had a lot of questions in my head that I would want him to answer but he did not bother to wait back to hear the rest of the questions. I wanted to ask her about the lady she had relationship with and the pups they made. Where were they and why was his eyes teary when he talked about them. I knew Nanna was not the kind that ask too much of questions,
I palpebrated severally after hearing what the man said. Was he trying to say that Joshua is dead? No! No! No! I shook my head and looked at Justin but his expression didn't change. Did that mean that he also believed that Joshua was dead? I decided not to show my fear. "Well, let me tell you one thing... Joshua is alive. By now, he is probably on his way while planning your death and everyone's. Will you let go of us now or you want to get killed by Joshua. You know he has a very powerful weapon." They looked at each other hesitantly for a while. "What are you waiting for?" Their commander yelled. "Tie them up and throw them into the cellar." They threw me, Nanna and Justin into a cellar with our hands tied to the back. "Don't touch Casey at all. The king wants her alive and untouched." Their commander told the men. He then shifted his gaze to Justin. "You can do whatever you want with this man. He's gone against us so he deserves the best." The two men that were
"There she is! Catch her!" Oh no! They finally found me. My eyes distended. Well, perhaps it was for the better I thought as I could not decide whether to leave Justin or not. "Do not try to act smart lady, just stay where you are because there no point in running away." The man who was approaching me warned. If only he knew how difficult and painful it was for me to move he would not have said that. He grabbed my arm harshly, pushing my Nanna aside and he was about to start dragging me out when I caught his attention.I turned my head to see what was going on and then saw soldiers fighting some one wearing cloak and a mask. The masked man moved smoothly cutting and killing the soldiers with his sword. "Who is that goddamn son of a bitch! Get him right now and kill him." The soldier who was holding my hand yelled but unfortunately, the soldiers had hard time killing the man with the mask on and they all soon fell to the ground. The man holding my wrist pushed me away cau
I woke up feeling sore and heavy. Sleeping on the floor was not the most pleasant thing when one is used to sleeping on luxurious bed. I had never imagined sleeping on a rug let alone on the earth with nothing laid on the ground. It was just so discomforting. I glanced at where Nanna was sleeping, she was still sleeping there. The man... Alvans sat leaning against a tree with eyes closed. Was he asleep? It looked really uncomfortable to be sleeping that way. Yawning, I tried to get up but I almost yelled as a sharp pain stabbed my knee. Sitting back down quickly without making a sound that would attract anyone, I looked at my foot, it had swollen more. "What happened to you Casey?" Alvans was suddenly next to me. Grimacing in pain. "My leg has gotten worse." I said to him, still staring at the leg. He looked at it closely, holding my leg. "I think I need to take you to the doctor." "What happened to my Casey? What is wrong with her?" I heard Nanna's voice, hurr
"Your Highness, I just got the report that the gamma has also been killed." When O'Horan was coming towards me with that darn sullen, I knew he was coming to give me a bad news but wait, did he just say that my gamma has been killed as well. I jumped out of the swing I was sitting on in the garden and gripped the collar of his shirt. "What did you just say?" I yelled. "I am sorry your highness, this is the report I just got. He had gone with the army of soldiers has their lead with the hope that he would bring them back but unfortunately he has also been killed and..." "And what!?" I cut in. I didn't want to listen to the hell anymore. We had lost up to five armies just in a few days, so many soldiers were dead on this search. My heart suddenly became unstable. What could be happening to them? Was Casey doing this to me all by her own? How could she have gotten away from here on her own and even if she had been helped, who could have helped her? I was so sure that all of
I grabbed her neck, after sending the two guards away. She just accused Morgan of treason, I knew Morgan could never do this, she understood my love for Casey, she knew how much I loved her... It was always Imara, Imara had always wanted her out of this castle, and here we were unable to find Casey and she was the only prime suspect. She was pissing me off with her cleverness and I had to just pin her against the wall. "Your Highness, please let go of her... I think she has something to say." O'Horan pleaded for her but I didn't hearken to his plead. Imara was already choking, coughing but the anger that was surging through me didn't let me let go of her. I just wanted her in the comatose, maybe that would be able to keep her quiet for a long period of time. "Your Highness, I don't think acting while angry in this situation will help us. You should try listening to concubine Imara, please your highness." He continued to plead for her. "Please let go of me your highn
We rode very faster through the woods and all through the night. Nanna didn't show any signs of fatigue but I knew she must be very exhausted. None of us had ever gone through something like this, adapting could just be quite difficult but we knew we would be able to adapt no matter what. I wrapped my arms around Nanna as we stopped to rest a bit. Alvans made a tent for us to lay and the next morning we started our journey again after he gave us breakfast. "Alvans." I called while we headed to where the we moored the horse. He turned back and looked at me. "Yes!?" "Thank you." I said and embraced him without even realizing. He slowly let his loose arms cover me and he rubbed my back. "It's fine. I am glad to help you." He said and we disengaged ourselves from the hug. Nanna thanked him too and when we got to the horse, he helped me onto the horse and he climbed on too. "We will be there in a few hours, you will be able to relax there, okay? You don't have to worry about
