The sun finally disappeared and the moonlights shined. Carmen wore a black bodicon dress with a shiny waist belt. She had her hair tied to the back. She finished the look with a dark brown lipstick. While she was admiring her beauty on a mirrior, a knock came to her door. "Come in." She said. "You look.." Alex could not finish his sentence. "Ready for the feast?" The Queen asked. "Yes. The chariot is already here." "I love your blazer. It looks really good on you." Said Carmen. Alex blushed. "I heard that the Noracians liked white,hence I chose it." He said. "Well you have a good taste. The ladies will be all over you this evening." Carmen teased. Alex chuckled. "They will be wasting their own time." He said. "I want you to be happy. At least take one woman then." The Queen pleaded. "Not a chance." Carmen did not want to take the conversation further. She knew that it would end in sorrowful faces and regret. She kept her silence until they arrived at the house of kish
Princess Ashah had already prepared for them, since it was late. Carmen found it hard to fall asleep,Alex found it hard to fall asleep as well. He just laid on the bed and stared at ceiling,until he heard a knock on his door. He opened and saw that it was Carmen. He locked the door as soon as the Queen had entered his room. "You can't sleep too?" Alex asked. Carmen nodded. "I'll make us tea then." Said Alex. The room was big in size. Two chairs, a king sized bed. A cabinet with a stove as well as cutlery and crockery were all in there,arranged neatly. Alex went to the kitchen and managed to find the teabags,sugar pot as well as milk and bread. He quickly grabbed them and went to his room. "Did anyone see you?" Carmen asked. "No no one did. They are all asleep." Said Alex. But he was wrong. Nicholas was not asleep. He was wide awake. He heard everything but that was not important to him. His mind and thought were somewhere else, he wondered where Stephen had disappeared to. Su
The following day, Nicholas rode to Noracia as if he were a normal human, then arrived at Michael Harmon's mansion which was built at the top of the mountains. The King had received directions from all the people he came across but only those who favoured him and those who hated him, spit to the ground and walked off. He was mostly offended but did not slaughter even one of them. One of the maid's stood at the door to see who was approaching. The name of the maid was Hilda, she had grey hair on some parts of her hair, her body was lean and she was short in height. She looked seventy in Nicholas's eyes but she was only Sixty two years old. The woman bowed as she saw that it was King Nicholas who was now standing in front of her. "My Lord." She said in a trembling voice. "Where is the owner of this house?" Nicholas asked. "He is inside my Lord. I shall call him right away.""No! That will not be necessary. I would like you to lead me to him." The King commanded. "Yes my Lord." Sai
Early in the morning Alex began his training in Noracia. There were about fifty women present on the training ground. Princess Ashah as well as Ingrid watched from a distance. "Do you think he will be able to handle training our women as well as training the men in Aota?" Ingrid asked. "Yes he will." "You sound very sure of him. What if he can not cope?" "He will cope. He has trained over four hundred men in both Kineti as well as Aota. A man with such a record is able to do anything." Said the princess. "Tell me something. Whatever happened to you that day when our guests were supposedly leaving. You disappeared." "We have many guests that come here. Which ones are you referring to?" The princess asked, as if she did not know who Ingrid was speaking of. "King Nicholas and Queen Carmen." "I wanted to lay down a bit as I was still tired." "That is not like you. Usually when you wake up early in the morning,you bath and never return back to bed."said Ingrid, staring intensely
"We need to go to Aota." Said Carla. "And fast." "I could run all the way there" "Alone?" "Grab me from behind " said Carla. Rita wrapped her arms around Carla's waist very tightly . "Don't let go."said Carla. She then ran at an incredible speed until she could arrive at the Oak forest. A cold breeze touched their face. Leaves began to form a horizontal line in front of them showing the direction that they were supposed to follow. "This way." Said Carla. "Are you certain,what if it is a trap?* Rita asked. "You go to church all the time. They teach you about faith yet you don't seem to have it.where usyyour faith woman?" Carla asked. Carla suddenly stopped. "Why have you stopped?" Rita asked. The two of them stared at the woman who was bathing in the Oak river. Her hair was glowing in a blue colour. The woman got out of the water, her naked body became covered in a blue lingerie then a blue gown that showed her female figure. Her hair returned to its normal colour . The wo
Late in the evening. Father Jonathan put the candle's and began welcoming the prophet's. Carmen arrived with King Cyrus. The prophet's bowed. "Greetings my Lord, we did not expect to see you here with us tonight." Said the Archbishop. "I also did not expect to see myself here. I came because I wanted to ensure that my daughter was not making a mistake by associating with this Church!" Said the King. "I assure you that your daughter has done a brave thing coming here. We need her more than she knows." Said the Archbishop. Suddenly Rita arrived. Father Jonathan welcomed her in. "Where is Carla?" The Archbishop asked. "She has gone to hunt for a crocodile. One of the ingredients we need to make an ointment. I will explain everything later on." The prophet's were happy to see Rita back. They welcomed her with hugs. "What did you tell my daughter that somehow won her into joining you?" King Cyrus asked. "Father please." Said Carmen. "Your highness. I do respect you as a King. Bu
Meanwhile in Noracia. Prince Uzriel was having an intense conversation with one of the guard's. Princess Ashah observed them from a distance. Ingrid came from behind her. "What do you think they are talking about?" The princess asked. "I really don't know. Your brother has always been secretive. But u think it had always been to save our country. He cares about you. About all of his people's safety " said Ingrid. "But he hates Nicholas. The man who managed to catch a vampire twice!" "Nicholas is twisted and deceitful. We cannot trust him." The princess walked away from Ingrid, leaving her to stand there alone. Prince Uzriel departed from the warrior. It seemed their conversation had ended. "What have you done to my sister that has made her mad?" He asked. "I spoke about my true feelings toward King Nicholas." "Oh. Do you think she had feelings for him?" The prince asked. Ingrid nodded. "Do you think they have done more than just talking?" "I hope not. The man I have heard i
Alex ended the days training and went to his house right away. Shiandra turned herself into an image of Alex, she went to the warrior's dining area which was at least twenty metres away from the training ground. That is where the warrior's went when they had finished their daily training. Shiandra stood beside Creselda. "Is it done?" She asked. "Yes it is done my lady." Said the cook, in a slow posessed voice. Shiandra had been using the portion since the start of the training and had all the warrior's possessed. They were not aware of this for a long time. And performed their normal duties as if they were not under her spell.The warriors ate and when they had finished their meal. Shiandra are the seed of persuasion then stood on one of the tables and commanded them to stand still and listen to what she had to say. They did as commanded. "I want all of you to defeat enemies that come here threatening our people,I want you all of you to be strong and I want you to win. There is a
