FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 30. Coming of the king's daughter
He felt really angry as he left her dungeon. The woman sure did have some nerve and had a way of sending him over the edge of anger. He was one who knew how the way around people, especially women but this particular woman ticked him off. She had a way of keeping his mind at unrest with those manipulative eyes of hers. He had expected that she would have taken a hint of that which he was capable of when she had eventually given him her name. But instead, she had the nerves to hold out on him. He gave the orders here and his word was gold. If he was not a benevolent master, he would have left her to her stinky self, although then he might not be able to fully appreciate the gift of nature through her. He had been nice enough to offer her a bath and she resisted, injuring one of his brother's servants in the process. She was savage but he would tame her and show her that he had remedy for savagery. As he stepped out angrily, he had soldiers guard the entrance, demanding that they make s
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 31. She's dying
This apparently would be termed one of the greatest embarrassment any mortal man would face. To them, the frustration of their members not rising to say hello when needed was too much. It could bring their morale down and cause whispers if their female counterpart notices. Luckily for Brian, his female companion at the moment had not noticed thanks to his swift maneuvering. He was not going to stress it however as he knew within him that there was nothing he could do about the situation at hand. His mind was preoccupied with the princess of Wuwa as she had successfully taken over his mind. He only needed her at the moment if he was going to be able to perform again. He needed a decoy and found something. He muttered something about having forgotten all about his prisoner and quickly started dressing up."Fuck!!! The Wuwa prisoner... How could it slip away from my mind ", he said loudly. He was fixing his undergarments when he asked the woman to rise. From the pink blush on her cheeks

He could see her strength which had been earlier drained from her returning to her eyes as he kept giving her the soup. Soon, Brian noticed that her heavy eyelids had lightened and color returned to her cheeks . Either way though, she was still weak. She stared at him with those alluring eyes of hers for a while before shifting her gaze to the cup of water. She wanted water obviously, he noted and quickly brought the cup to her lips. She rushed it's content causing her a coughing fit that brought tears to her eyes. Easy now, he thought as he patted her back until she had calmed down a bit, bow she looked exhausted. He noticed that her eyes were rather red and had this swollen presentation. He had seen it earlier but had dismissed it as signs of starvation but now, he knew better. She had been crying before. Brian felt guilt stabbed as he knew he had been the reason for her tears. But then, she had been too strong headed and disobedient. He brought her another of the soup but she was h
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 33. Out for his brother
Their gates closed behind them and Brian sighed. For a brief moment though, it did cross his mind to question exactly what he was doing by assisting his brother to begin the massacre of the royal family. The very same royal family had been out there fighting their wars. No, he never wanted to fight their wars, it had been his father's punishment upon him for his past mistake. Thus for once in his life, he was actually part of something bigger. Adrian might have a whole lot of ruthlessness hidden up his sleeves, but Brian had seen him with his soldiers. Aside from his usual outbursts and games, he could tell very well that he was adored by these men. There was this admiration for him in their eyes that so marvels him, he had never seen that look towards their father from his soldiers. There was also no way he was going to sit by and watch his only blood sibling (for he suspected his father might have offspring scattered around the country) go into war. He was going to support him and i
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 34. Same stock
She had slept for a really long time and by the time she was up, the sunlight was already making its way by forcing entry through the window. This was something else really, as she could not understand where the light was coming from. Arawa had to wake up quickly as the thought that the dungeon had been set on fire with her in it was the very first on her mind. She woke up with a start and had no idea she was actually shackled to the bed. The pull nearly broke the bones of her wrist that she had to flinch and wait for the pain to calm down. She registered her surroundings, it was oddly familiar. This was because she had been tied up to a corner in the room the night before, so it took some time before she actually understood where she was. It was the room of that guy who had been brutalizing her. So, it had not been a dream then, the time she envisioned him carrying her from the cave and also washing her up and feeding her; it had actually been real all through. That means, he had see
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 35. Just like his brother
He had said it just like his brother. They both did not just come off the same sand mold, their souls were obviously entwined. Arawa began to wonder if every twin born behaves exactly the same. She might begin immediately to reconsider that hastily made wish of hers to have twins. Hell, she could not believe she had actually wished for identical twins. What foolishness. This is why they say, listen to the elders, they know it all. Orau had told her to be careful what she actually wished for lest the angels and spirits incharge actually turn her way and take whatever she said seriously. Well, they better take this new stance of hers seriously as she no longer wanted twins. Those creatures could cause even the most sane person to go overboard. To think that anymore would be a death wish. Arawa braced herself as he turned and began walking towards her. Yes, that was almost exactly like the other one, what was his name again... She had actually not registered his name even though she had
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 36. You are ours
It took some time but eventually she was at the bath house. This was weird, they even had a big place where they took their bath, Arawa was thinking as she remembered hazily being put in a tub in that room. This was also some sort of public embarrassment for her. Washing up in an open space under his very nose. Yes, he lived up to his promise, he was there with a couple of guards to supervise. Although, as promised he did turn away so as not to look upon her nakedness but nevertheless, she was still very much uncomfortable. She was one drawn to her privacy. Even at the Wuwa river, when it was time for the women to wash up, Arawa made sure she drew to a far end and away from the others. She did not want anyone looking upon her nakedness. Now, these barbarians had to make her wash up under their nose. It almost felt like they had eyes at the back of their heads which they used to observe her entire body. She was worried and was at the edge, should just in case she noticed one of them tu
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 37. Peverts
He stood there, smiling to himself as he tried to boost his ego or whatever it was he was trying to protect. This one definitely was the worst of the brothers. Well, she was not going to take it now, would she. She was going to make sure he thought twice about hitting her next time. It would be there, yes, right there on that spot slightly above his nose. She was going to hit him so hard that he would get not just nose bleeds, but a cut at the spot. Her hands were ready and she had her chance. Just then when she was about to strike out, someone held her across the shoulder and steered her away from him. It was the old woman and she was even talking to him. Something about her needing to untangle her hair and put her to her duties. Her eyes however gave Arawa the warning glance to hold her horses. Arawa scoffed, she had done this on purpose. How could she step in just then when she would have taught him a lesson he would never forget soon, did she have a dead wish or something. She c

FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 85. Would you be taking her to the capital?
Brian had been in his room obviously tidying up. He had just finished his bath after breakfast as he had been really hungry after waking up. Upon his insistence, Arawa had stayed although she still refused to take anything from him. But he could tell she was hungry, her stomach still sang the hunger song before him. That morning when he had woken up and found her sneaking out of his room to get her bath, Brian could not help but wonder if she really was the same person who had been singing the previous night. She just did not show any reaction even when she returned with Booma and the girls. Arawa had become much better with handling his affairs. He was glad that he would not be needing to dismiss Booma as Arawa would be accompanying him to the capital. When she came inside, she tried not to meet his eyes when she noticed he was staring. However, he had seen her from the corner of his eyes looking worried at him. Brian still wondered exactly what had happened that drunken moment, had
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 84. Coming of the barbarians
His hand held her still but although his eyes were open, they seemed glassy. Almost like he was in a trance. She tried to pull away. "Please mom.. Stay." he said again. Mom? Arawa could not believe her ears. He was such a grown man after all, so why on earth would he be calling for his mother like some little baby. Nevertheless, she did as he asked as somehow she felt pity for him. She sat by the bed and began observing him, where their mother was, she wondered. She recalled at the moment that since she arrived, she had not seen anyone being referred to as their father or mother. Could it be that the barbarian brothers had none. Her hands stole up of their own volition and brushed away his hair scattered on his face and forehead, caressing his forehead. He looked so peaceful as his eyes slowly began to shut. Arawa noticed now that even though his eyes were closed now, his hand still gripped her. It was not like she was planning on leaving him there but she wanted to shut the door a
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 83. Paying home a visit
Arawa felt the need to panic and she actually did as she first brought a finger to his nostrils. Thankfully, he was still breathing and she had never been more relieved. She knew she needed to do something about his condition but she was at loss on what exactly she should do. She did not even have any idea why he was like that and had to dash off outside to seek out the one person she trusted with such delicate situations, Booma. As she ran, she could not help but notice how quiet the entire place was save for the soldiers huddled together around fires and those on the walls. This was their duty. She tried her bestest to be less noticeable. "Halt woman!!!" she heard someone behind her. It was a soldier who had noticed her and she had to turn slowly. He was there standing and his companions seated around were all staring at her. He demanded that she stepped into the light where he could see her properly. A fearful Arawa now walked out to the light where he could see her. "Oh. It's
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 82. Excited about the forges
If there was something he dreaded most right now, it was being back with his father and getting to watch that look on his face. It was a constant reminder of what he had done in the past and this brought him guilt. Why on earth would Dorian send for him instead of Adrian. After all, the latter was supposed to be his favorite after what he had done to come short of his love. This act right now was uncalled for and he had defeated his purpose by going to get the king's order. Prepare in a week, nah, he would not even be prepared in a year if he wanted. His initial plan was to run to this place as he had, get well and return back to battle with his uncle. However, that plan had changed after coming in contact with his brother's plan. Were you thinking he had changed his mind because of Arawa, hell no. Left for Brian, even though it hurt him, he would leave her with her own kind. She was just a woman and there was no place for her in the battle grounds. Give it a period of a year or two,
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 81. Father wants me to return to the capital
It was not easy for Bron, not in the very least as he laid down there waiting for the slithering thing to get off. He was becoming scared again and managed a great deal to keep himself from shaking. But inside his heart was pounding as loud as anything that made him really scared that the snake would hear. Bron continued biding his time and waiting for the right moment. Eventually , his time came as he had been laying down there panting heavily. The snake had gone down and gradually, he started rising up and then took his sword from the upper part . He had been really lucky as it happened that it had been crawling into its hole on the ground. Weird. The hole would not have been noticed by even the daytime as it was buried underneath the dry leaves covering the area. Bron felt angered and before the tail would finish disappearing, he braced himself, took it by the cold slimy tail and pulled it out. The speed and energy with which he had done it was all he needed and he slammed it hard
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 80. Flouting his orders
He woke up before her that morning and spent a while watching her and drinking in her awesomeness. She was still fast asleep and luckily, it was still a bit dark. That meant that he got to watch her thanks to the light from the fireplace and torch. The reflection of the light on the few exposed parts of her skin was magnificent. It made Brian crave for her and want to touch her body. But then, he just could not do so as he needed to prove beyond every reasonable doubt to himself that he was not in love with Arawa. She suddenly rolled over and stretched herself now facing him. She yawned heavily and must have not thought that he was there. Her mouth actually reeked of some foul odour thanks to the fact that Arawa had not properly brushed up for two days now. In fact, she forgot. One would not blame her completely, in Wuwa after all, they only rinsed their mouths with water in the morning. He grimaced and quickly replaced it with a beautiful smile. Just then, she popped open her eyes a
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 79. A crocodile in Wuwa River
It had been a while since he last came to the dungeon and somehow, it reminded Brian of the early days in which Arawa had been kept there. He had to find a way to push aside thoughts about her. "I take it that you're still thinking about the savage woman's brother, " Adrian said as he noticed his brother had stopped moving and seemed to be in a trance. Actually Brian was not aware that he had stopped moving at the moment. He seemed to be drinking in the air and quickly snapped out of it. There were important discussions and talks to be made at the moment. Adrian smiled at him as they advanced inside. Caleb alongside the other four selected to accompany the princess company were waiting patiently for them. “Gentlemen, shall we?" Adrian said as they exchanged greetings. They had managed to put up what seemed like a round table and seats. Adrian had to ask to be certain that nobody saw, of course they had been careful with that as they did it all when it was dark already. That seemed

"I don't like her here and I want her to leave with me, " she said "Her? Who?, " Adrian said feigning ignorance"The slave woman, " she blurted out "What slave woman?" he asked her, with a serious expression of confusion on his face Of course, Adrian needed no soothsayer to tell him that the princess had been referring to Arawa but then he had to make it as though she meant absolutely nothing to him. It was also frustrating her and he could tell it. Women, why would she even begin to think such nonsense as taking Arawa with her. What in heaven's name gave her such guts or possibly was she beginning to think that she was the lady of this place. It made him angry but he had to control everything. He was a man on a mission after all. "I'm referring to the woman you had been holding in your arms at the stables, " she said shamelessly. It was obvious that this was a topic she was not willing to give up on. He wondered if she had felt offended. To reassure her of his undying love for h
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 77. Where were you Arawa?
By the time they had finished cleaning up the place, Arawa was beginning to sweat it out. In fact, they both were and had to leave the rags in the pail to have another quick bath. It dawned on Melissa that dinnertime was already close by, that being if they had not started yet. She knew that if they would be meeting up, they would have to hurry up. Bathing this time did not take them long, a couple of dips in the water and they were done. They were just getting dressed up when a couple of slaves began trooping in, Melissa smiled. Possibly, they were still in time for dinner but nonetheless, they needed to hurry up. Bearing the pails in hand, they rushed to where they would be rinsing and spreading out the rags. “Why is that place always lit?” Arawa asked, referring to where she had seen that light for days now at night. She had been curious about the place and would have taken a sneak peek had it not been for distance. The said area was seemingly far from where they were. Melissa to
