2021-04-26 22:30:10With a satisfied sigh, I plopped myself down on the edge of my bed, toweling off my still damp hair. I missed my bathtub and its warm relaxing waters. I missed the scent of the lavender soap that wafted the air and sank into my skin. I missed being clean. With the itch dirt no longer invading my body, I felt like I could take on another battle. I wanted to conquer another Mercenary camp and take on the evils of the world. Of course, I knew this feeling was temporary and that as soon as the feeling wore off, I was going to become dead weight again. I might as well take advantage of this feeling while I still had energy and get some work done. I could only imagine how much work had piled up in my absence.
I rose from the edge of my bed and headed towards my desk. A neat pile of papers were stacked on the corner. With a gasp of disbelief,

I sat staring at my desk, the papers threatening to spill over with the new documents that had arrived. Even though the stack was just barely reaching the tip of my lap, I still felt like it was looming over me, threatening to topple and drown me in its wake. I could feel my eye twitch in annoyance, knowing for a fact now that my father was indeed assigning more paperwork as a punishment for my disobedience to return home. I suppose he could use the break though. After all that’s all he these days was slave over paper work. I better get use to it, because once he steps down or passes on, it will become my full responsibility. I picked up the first document and scanned diligently over the contents. It mostly explained the contents of the damage done by the Mercenary gang had

“Has our Prisoner spoken yet?” I asked approaching the jail cell that Emmanuel was staying in. It was so dark and gloomy down in the dungeon that even I was starting to feel uncomfortable. There where no windows to illuminate the dark and decrepit room. The air was full of moisture and it stank heavily of stale mold. I swear I felt like I was swallowing an ocean every time I inhaled. We seldom have any prisoners, at least ones worthy of keeping around. Negligence was the key reason the dungeon had gotten so bad, but at this rate having a maid clean down here would be beyond punishment. Hopefully, he would speak up soon so we wouldn’t have to keep coming down here. “Ah greetings Princess Alliah! No, I unfortunately regret to inform that he has refused to say a single word. He has a very strong will power. I don’t think basic torture is going to get anythin

I found the General wandering down the hallway, completely lost in thought. His eyebrows where scrunched together, and his eyes where cast to the ground. His once bright gray eyes seemed to grow darker as he continued with his train of thought. I have never seen him look so perplexed before. Something was bothering him, that much was evident, but what would make him seem so worried. I wonder if he had heard the rumor too. If anyone were going to cause a huge fuss over this, it would be him. Ever since I was young, he had always been over protective of me. He acted more like a father than even my own, so relied heavily on his judgement and advice. I don’t think I could accept though it if came down to Nicklos. He didn’t know him like I do. At least he didn’t know him like I thought I did. &

Marquise and I had sat for hours already, scanning through document after document, hoping to find anything related to the incidents from last week. With each passing paper, I could tell that he was getting tired, or maybe just even bored, from scanning through all these papers. Every hour that passed, he would start to slow, his form slowly slumping over the table. But he was a champ because he didn’t ever complain once about being stuck in a stuffy room mulling over numerous documents. But the discourage upon his face told me that he had no hope we would find what we where looking for. Unfortunately, even though I was use to this sort of thing, I was starting to lose hope as well. “Can we call it a day your Majesty? I can tell from the doorway to the hall that the sun is starting to set and quite honestly, I am famis

Despite how long it actually took to get ready. I still beat Marquise to the door. I had to wait at least a half hour for his arrival before he graced me with his appearance. I was taken aback at first. He was dressed in his formal Knight attire which consisted of rough and heavy thick fabric for both his long-sleeved shirt and pants. The formal attire was black with gold trim hems on the cuffs of his sleeves, collar, shirt, and pants. A corded gold rope tied a gold cape around his shoulders, giving him a very noble look. Upon the left side of his chest sat numerous medals he had attained over the many years of his service. He was quite dashing with his golden hair tied back. He looked dignified and fit to be a nobleman. “Your Majesty, did you get all dolled up just for me? I can say that I am flattered.” He said holding his hand over his chest and bowing. I glared a

The very next day, the castle was buzzing with the sudden disappearance of the Head Maid. I was expecting that as much, but with comes worry, also comes those who are nosy. We would have to watch we say out in public from now on. I didn’t want some maid getting their ear involved in our work and spreading more false rumors. If it weren’t such a tedious task to hire new ones, I would have had them all fired from the start of Nicklos’s false rumors that had spread. But unfortunately, despite what had occurred, we did have some pretty reasonably good aids in the Palace. More times than not, they where good at gathering information on a whim, and that’s where I normally got all my good juicy stuff. For example, after last nights meal, apparently father had summoned Illia to his study. When she left, she was in utter tears and quite the rage. He must not have been p

“Before we get in too deep with this conversation your Majesty, we must warn you that the man who was investigating this incident has gone missing. From what we could tell, we was stolen in his sleep. His room was in absolute shambles when we went to check on him.” Garret said as he walked over to the numerous amounts of bookshelves leaning against the banister. There was no way that Maxwell Doneswell was a traitor. Who would just report the document and then just vanish like that? There was definitely something going on. It was becoming more annoying that we couldn’t stay ahead of these attacks. “Roughly when did he disappear if you don’t mind my asking. Also, why was this not reported sooner?” Winslow placed a stressed hand on his forehead and closed his eyes. Stress wa

“I am pretty sure we found something, but not exactly what you where hoping for.” Marquise said flapping a document in my face. He looked utterly bored as his feet where placed on top of each other on the table. His blonde hair was let loose, and it dangled over his shoulders and down his back. With his hair down he looked more boyish and had a charming quality about him. His nonchalant attitude definitely gave him that moody teenager aspect. I snatched the paper from him, getting annoyed that he was so comfortable to wave it around in my face. “I think you are too comfortable these days Marquise. Remember that you are in the presence of a Lady.” I said giving him a sideways glance before eyeing the document in my hand. He made a slight scoffing sound.&nbs

I will skip the boring bits and just tell you what happened next. Things actually went more smoothly than what I had expected. Illia was tossed in the dungeons as soon as I arrived per my request. She did her obviously tidbits of flailing and screaming how unjust I was for arresting her without a reason. Of course, my father tried swooping in and saving the day. But with the evidence in hand about her treason to the kingdom, she was soon after locked away. I couldn't explain to you how good it felt knowing that I was uprooting the problem. That and she was a terrible human being to begin with. Uriah's father had been in tow of my father, and was then given the evidence of all of my father's wrong doings. After scanning through the documents, he went through a trial that lasted well over a year. In that year, Laylia was caught trying to sneak into the border of my kingdom and was arr
Alliah's Fight For Her Heart, and Her Kingdom The Ride Home
The air between all of my soldiers was heavy with silence. Almost like an invisible weight bad been placed on everyone of our shoulders. Grief hung above their heads, having lost one of our own, and learning that their was a traitor amongst us. Even as they sat on their horses, baccks straight and reigns loose in their hands, they still hung their heads. General Bregus was probably the most quiet out of all of us. He uttered not one word since we told him what had gone down the last few days. There was a strangled grunt from his lips, but he uttered no more since then. As he rode by my side, I was able to gauge his reactions. But it was hard to read him as he stared blankly into the distance. His eyes where on the horizon, but his mind had wandered into his own thoughts. It would almost seem like he had even paled a little, grieving in the silence of his own mind. I know that Micha
Alliah's Fight For Her Heart, and Her Kingdom Back to Stratheom
The breeze brushed through my hair with gentle fingers. It caressed my face and body with its cold embrace, making me shiver. Goose bumps formed on my arms, making my skin tingle against the leather I had dawned on earlier this morning. We were finally free. No longer mingling with criminals, no more stuck behind the many walls of the city, we were free. Instead of the pounding laughter of loud and drunk people, the air was filled with the thunder of horse hooves frantically trying to put distance between us and the city of criminal. The trees where giant blurs of dark and light greens as we raced through the tightly knit forest. Twigs and leaves laid snapped and torn apart under the heavy beats of our horses hooves. In our desperation to get back home, we neglected to actually hide our trail. All our hope was on them being so distracted they wouldn't know where to start l
Alliah's Fight For Her Heart, and Her Kingdom The Diversion
Just as expected, the streets where lined with criminals. Their pace was slow as they crawled through the streets like timid cockroaches. I watched as the sea of people flucuated, a gentle tide coming in and evading back into the ocean. The murmurs that rose above the steady beat of feet across the stone pathway, was like a mother hushing her child back to sleep. But it came with a dark whisper of warning as they passed by. The gentle whisper of death caressed their lips as the words escaped their lips. Like a gentle chant, all I could hear was 'Laylia wants their heads.' Who else would she be talking about other than us. We single handedly walked through her walls, the comfort of her own walls, her territory. Her privacy was disrupted, and the quiet comfort of the suprise she had been building for so long was now in disarray. No longer was she able to have the upper hand in her plot to over throw my h
Alliah's Fight For Her Heart, and Her Kingdom Discussing the Return Home (Alliah's pov)
Whilst rubbing sleep from my eyes, I wobbled down the stairs like an infant toddler. I hadn't completely woken up yet and I don't think I was fully recovered from yesterday's endeavor. Honestly, from looking at the rest of the crew, I don't think they would agree either. On the couches laid an exhausted looking Micheal. His head was lulled to one side, mouth slightly popped open with a small sliver of drool coming out. It oozed out in a small stream of clear liquid spittle. He had somehow managed to fall asleep with his arms crossed over his chest. One of the very few men that I have met that doesn't snore like a loud fog horn. Seria had two big black and saggy bags under her eyes as she laid passed out on Micheal's lap. Her arms where crossed over each other upon his lap, making a makeshift pillow out of her own muscle and flesh. Her body was a straight as a board until you came u
Alliah's Fight For Her Heart, and Her Kingdom Escape
When the room had finally grown silent, I decided to dare a glance over my shoulder. I could see a clear line of sight straight to Maxwell's cell. The guards instructed to watch over him, where not in my line of sight. Knowing that they wouldn't be able to see us, I moved away from Seria. She sat frozen in place, hands clenched into tight fists as she stared into space. I waved a hand in her face, trying to coax her out of her deep thoughts. But she continued to stand as still as a statue. "Seria, I'm sorry I put you in an uncomfortable spot, but your dress would have given us away. I have no intentions of harming you if that was what you where worried about." She didn't say anything as she continued to stare off into space. My frustrations where starting to grow as I tried to stir her from her thoughts, but nothing I did was working.
Alliah's Fight For Her Heart, and Her Kingdom Maxwell
"I am not going to help you, so you might as well kill me already you stupid woman." Maxwell groaned angrily. You could sense the defeat in his tone as he spoke, like a man who was ready to just give up. I gingerly approached the gate door, kneeling down to his level and hoping he would recognize me. I wrapped my fingers around the cold wrought iron and giggled it slightly, testing the weakness of the gate. Unfortunately it didn't budge. "Maxwell, it's Michael. The Princess sent out a small team to rescue you. It hasn't been an easy journey, but we are here now so don't worry." I said jiggling the door once more. There was a dark and weak chuckle that radiated from Maxwell. "Don't bother Michael, I am far to weak to be escorted out safely. You would be killed because of me. Laylia that bitch has been to
Alliah's Fight For Her Heart, and Her Kingdom Found You
How can a woman dressed in bright green clothes disappear so quickly? There was no way she could just up and vanish without a single warning. With her attire, any man would love to shove their greedy and grim covered hands all over her. Especially in this establishment. I don't know what infuriated me more, her vanishing and not telling me what she had planned, or that someone would even dare pray on her. I had to find her fast before someone else decided to grab a hold of her. How did I casually hunt for someone while my heart was racing and my panic was starting to spike. I had no doubt she could handle herself if things went sideways, but I would still rather be at her side if things did turn sour. I knew I made her mad when I vented my frustrations on her, but not enough to abandon me in a crowd full of horney men and lustful women. Soon I would be seen without
Alliah's Fight For Her Heart, and Her Kingdom Michael's POV
Six months I have been training for field work. I was barely even close to graduating, and now here I am. Sitting in the enemy territory with little experience on sneaking around. I wasn't the best for remaining unseen. Anytime I snuck out of the Kingdom, father would always catch me. I was even caught on the last excursion to find the bandits. It was the first time I had ever met her Majesty. I thought she would give me a verbal whipping for sneaking out on to missions before my graduation, but to my surprise she remained docile. When I offered to go along in my father's stead, I didn't think that this journey would be this perilous. I mostly just wanted to get back at Emmanuel for hurting my father. But it turned into more than that. My best friend is dead, my other friend is a traitorous, and my future Queen has her family's secret history to shoulder. Princess Alliah has become quite tired w
