Masoma’s words washed over me, over and again.

Amira, under your watch, no harm comes to the King”

I paused my movement slowly, staring at Jonathan who was motionless on the bed. His face was pale from his constant loss of blood and I couldn't imagine the sneer or scowl that he usually wore.

On the bed with his eyes closed, he couldn't maliciously call me princess or strangle me or make life hell for me. Memories flooded my head as I kept staring at him while my face remained blank.

He was harmless just like this on the bed and if I just stopped cleaning up his blood or stopped trying to stop his bleeding, he would most likely die; like I always wanted to.

It was a case of reversed situations. This time around, I had the upper hand and he was the one who needed my help to live. The feeling courses through me and a small chuckle escapes my lips.

I folded my hands as I kept staring at his unloving body, the blood had dyed the bed red and it wasn't stopping anytime soon.

“Should I leave you to die?” I asked as I sneered and immediately Masoma's words rang in my ears again.

If he died, it was my one ticket out of this place or not.

“Whatever” I blurted out after seconds of waiting and grabbed the cloth, proceeding to try my best to stop the bleeding but it wouldn't stop.

The guards seeing the situation helped me with new bowls of water, their expressions getting more and more frightening with the bowls of blood that were being carried outside.

Masoma arrived nearly an hour later with two other medical attendants. I watched as she threw me a glance and nodded at me.

“He's still bleeding but not as badly as before” I informed her.

“He has also lost a lot of blood” I added as I glanced at Jonathan's face. His face has become paler than before.

Mason quickly grabbed some leaves I didn't recognize and asked one of the attendants to grind together and make it into a watery concoction. She slowly pried open Jonathan's mouth and fed him the concoction.

“This should help stop the bleeding” Masoma informed me and I slowly nodded.

“Help me grind these leaves” she requested as I also got to work grinding the leaves and barks of trees I didn't recognize and worse, some of them stank so badly but I wasn't about to say anything about that.

I grinded and grinded all sorts of herbs as Masoma instructed and it made me realize that Masoma was very knowledgeable as a doctor. She was good and she knew what she was doing.

A single look at whatever we were doing and she would correct us, ask me to pound it harder or pound it not too hard or tell me to stop.

Masoma mixed herbs upon herbs placing them on the stabs that decorated Jonathan's body and taking extra care at the major stab that true to Masoma's words has stopped bleeding.

Masoma wiped the sweat off her forehead and I swallowed hard, finally deciding to ask the question on the top of my tongue since I first heard that loud yell and before I saw red and all of those soldiers.

“Did we win?” I asked and both Masoma and the other medical attendants turned to me with surprise in their eyes.

I coughed lightly as I rephrased the question, “Did your people win the war?” I asked and Masoma chuckled.

I had no idea why she chuckled, whether it was because she realized my change of words or the question I was asking. It was hard to know why exactly she was laughing but she answered the question anyway.

“Of course we won,” Masoma replied as she turned to glance at Jonathan on the bed.

“Unfortunately, the win came at a great price. We underestimated the enemy, the Ragan Kingdom had their losses but ours was far too greater” she added as my lips parted unconsciously, it was exactly as I had guessed.

“Let's dwell on the fact that you and your people did win” I replied, very conscious of the pronouns.

“Yes and thank you for helping out” Masoma replied while I nodded my head refusing to tell her what she wanted to hear.

Not she, not the king, not the people of the Berg Kingdom were welcome. None of them were and my help to me was because I wasn't them and I would never be terrible and wicked as they were.

“That rope is still tied to his arm?” I asked out of blues, noticing the string the Mawe had tied to his arm before they went for battle.

Masoma laughed mirthlessly, “That old woman never speaks straightforwardly, she would rather go through the corners” she muttered.

“Huh?” I asked, confused.

“Don't worry yourself about it although I'm very confident that that string saved his life” she replied and I blinked hard trying to connect the dots and understand what exactly she was saying.

“The King isn't the only one who is in critical danger, I need to check on other people” Masoma started as she turned to me and I stared back at her without a word.

“He's currently out of danger but he needs to watch, will you watch him?” She asked and my eyes widened.

“Masoma!” One of the attendants called out hurriedly.

“All you have to do is mix those herbs every two hours and rub it all over his body. His temperature is going to spike at some point, you need to lower his temperature. You are going to need to watch him closely” Masoma continued.

I stared at Masoma and she met my gaze calmly. My first memory of her was chiding Jonathan for allowing me to starve and that he could just kill me off instead. Back then, it was hard to know if she was saying that for my own good or whether she hated me like everyone else.

And then today, the war and the help, asking me to make sure that the king didn't die. I didn't understand why she was going through so much lengths to do this. Her aim and goal wasn't known.

“You are leaving me with him?” I asked and Masoma nodded, shrugging.

“Yes. The guards will be outside though” she replied.

“And you know that I could kill him” I said firmly and Masoma nodded.

“I know, that's why I'm asking” she responded and I signed inwardly. It was hard to get anything from her.

“I'll watch him” I finally spoke and Masoma nodded her head.

“Don't change your mind” she said and it took me a few seconds before I realized what she was talking about.

“I won't. He'll be safe” I replied and Masoma nodded, grabbing some leaves and turning to her attendants, her worried expression climbing over her face in an instant.

“Let's go,” she said as they walked out of the room.

I stared at Jonathan's unmoving body and sighed softly, “Don't you think it's ironic; that you will be safe with me?”

    I didn’t think that I would have to watch Jonathan seriously like Masoma had claimed but the time soon came and it was even harder than I thought. Grinding herbs and applying them to his stabs every two hours was the easy part. I took liberty and asked some of the guards to help me with grinding and they gladly did and my only major job was to apply the herbs.It was tough to just stare at Jonathan without being able to kill him but then I had given Masoma my word that no harm would come to him. Just because they all saw that I was working tirelessly to save their king, the way the guards treated me was slightly better. And then like Masoma had said, his temperature did start to rise.I had to get warm basin’s of water and using a cloth to rub all over his body, over and over again but for some reason, the cloth and the water were the ones getting hot and soon the guards were running in and out with numerous clothes and basins of water while I tried hard to lower his temperature.

    THIRD PERSON’S POVMasoma hurried into the room dropping off her box of needles as soon as she saw that Jonathan was awake.“Thank goodness” she muttered as she moved towards him to examine him but Jonathan was in a foul mood but she didn’t care. Being in a foul mood was his default setting and she was too worried about his health to be worried about why he was in a foul mood.“You are fine now. I need to concoct more potions for you and watch what you eat, you need to replenish your blood back” Masoma finally spoke and Jonathan glanced at her, sighing softly.“Thank you” he said softly and Masoma scoffed.“Don’t thank me Your Highness, what you did was risky” Masoma replied, “I know you love your people and your soldiers? Even more, I know and I know it so well but jumping in like that to save them at the expense of your own life is what I will not subscribe to” she added.“Was I supposed to just watch?” Jonathan questioned with an edge in his voice and Masoma shook her head.“No. I

    AMIRA’S POVI didn’t know when I slept off or how I slept off. All I knew was that I had cried for a reasonable amount of time before I slowly drifted to sleep. All Serena had done was pet me and ask me to stop crying but there was no way I could.Jonathan’s words, his sneering and angry gaze at me still felt directed to me even if he was no longer in front of me. His words had infiltrated into my soft tissues, even though I thought and believed that I had built enough walls to protect myself. Apparently, I was wrong, very wrong.I was so wrong, that no matter how strong the walls were, Jonathan could easily break them down with a look and I hated it. I wonder how all of the guards would look at me from now henceforth. I had tried my best to save the king but in return, he had given me even a harsher experience, it was tough not to imagine maybe their scoffing looks or maybe their pitiful looks and the truth was that I wanted none of them. I didn’t want the pitiful looks or the scoffi

    “You can’t keep avoiding the king you know” Serena muttered as soon as we had stepped into the room. I glanced at her and chuckled, “Aren’t you doing just fine?” I asked and Serena laughed, shaking her head.“Of course I am but you are not going to avoid him forever. It’s been two weeks” Serena replied and I shrugged my shoulders, “We can go on like this” I replied as I climbed into my bed.“But you said for a while” Serena interjected and I swallowed, crossing my legs beneath me and adjusting my posture so that I would be facing Serena.“Do you want to exchange that badly?” I asked her, my voice getting smaller and Serena shook her head, “He didn’t know. Kareem told me he didn’t know” she replied and I pulled my eyebrows back in surprise.“Kareem? Are you talking about Commander Kareem?” I asked and Serena’s lips parted as she immediately turned her, coughing while an amused smile crawled up my lips.“I didn’t know you two were on a first name basis” I continued and Serena turned to

    Finding out that Serena had a crush on Kareem was the most exciting thing that ever happened to me since I came to the Berg kingdom. I also didn’t think that Serena would subtly admit that she indeed had a crush on Kareem. Kareem was good looking, except that there were all bastards, most men in the Berg kingdom were good looking and muscular and fine looking but there was no way on earth I was going to describe my enemies and people who made life hard for me as handsome or good looking. I just couldn’t explain how I had become so excited just at the sound or the thought of it. I had imagined so much over the night, in two thousand ways how Kareem and Serena would end up, with kids, with a lovely son, and how Kareem would defend his love when people questioned him and all sorts. It wasn’t a surprise that I was already over the moon, imagining all sorts of things. I was always a lover girl, the girl who had her head in her books and stories. There was no romance novel or romance stor

    I cleaned the room in silence while Jonathan just laid on the bed, his eyes closed. I had no idea of what he was thinking or doing but I could care less. I was still reeling from the fact that Jonathan had thanked me, thanked me in a way that wasn’t repulsive. He hadn’t sounded sarcastic like he always used to. He sounded genuinely grateful and that was enough to make my day.I finished cleaning and I realized that Jonathan was still lying down on the bed. I didn’t know whether he had fallen asleep or if he was just meditating. I stared at his face, his soft and clear skin.Jonathan would always look good, I told myself. Whether he hated me or not, the slight arc of lips and his bridged nose that stood prideful, his brows were full and for a man, Jonathan did have really long lashes that was very noticeable. His bandaged arm was resting beside him quietly while the other one was thrown mercilessly underneath his head.He looked almost peaceful, almost perfect, almost ordinary but I kn

    I didn’t know how but all of a sudden it became my responsibility to start cleaning Jonathan’s room and changing his bandages. The second day I got there to clean, he hadn’t even bothered trying and just sat down there and the moment I walked into the room, he simply stared at me and in all my shock told me, I need help. I was flustered and shocked and it made me laugh but I still bent down and helped him anyway.It was surprising seeing all the new side of Jonatahn, a side that he only showed his people, people he didn’t hate which unfortunately I wasn’t part of.One week after cleaning Jnathan’s room and changing his bandages, we had started engaging in small talk much to my surprise. Jonathan still had not gotten rid of his sarcasm towards me but his sarcasm this time around was no longer spiteful or infused with hatred like before, his sarcasm was starting to be more like he needed to keep up appearances which was funny but I was sure of one fact, just because he allowed me to cle

    As I marched towards the kingdom’s clinic, I wondered if what I was doing was right. It was quite rude to conclude that going straight to the kingdom’s clinic was the immediate action to take after speaking to Kareem. What he had said about Masoma had stayed with me, very few people had been nice to me since I got to the Berg kingdom and I was also quick to realize that Masoma was part of them.I vividly remembered the day my former roommates had beaten me after they had starved me till I had fainted. I remembered her words at the clinic that day as I drifted in and out of consciousness. I also remembered wondering what her words would mean, if it meant that she was on my side or not or if she was just waving me away. But now, I knew she was on my side and I’m suddenly realizing that she might have even spoken like that so intentionally so that Jonathan would take action but it was a speculation, she also didn’t somehow speculate that Jonathan would ask me to move to the palace, did sh

    It was a speculation in my heart and all of a sudden it had taken root. I shook the thought away as I headed straight to the clinic. I was finally starting at the clinic and I was excited for everything I would learn and do, everything that I would be there. It felt like I finally somewhat had a purpose. I wasn’t just slaving myself away here.I kept walking towards the clinic and when I arrived, I stared at the front, remembering the first two times I came by and for the first time, I was coming solely for myself. I easily found my way in. Masoma and her other clinic attendants were already working by the time I arrived and she immediately left them and came to me.“You are late” she said and I winced.“I’m sorry. I’ll be earlier” I replied and Masoma nodded.“It’s not a big deal. You can inform me if your chores are a lot and you are going to be late” she replied and I nodded.“Thank you” I said softly.“So it’s your first day and I’ll ask someone to take you around later.

    I stared into space thinking about Juniper's words, “She killed herself?” I whispered and Juniper nodded. “Yes. The whole kingdom was thrown into turmoil. Our King and Queen had departed just like that” he continued explaining while I just listened.“I thought your people didn’t like the Queen?” I asked and Juniper laughed.“Not at all. The council of elders had an elder who had a daughter who wanted to marry the king so he was bitter and besides it was against the laws of the kingdom but King Avery? He bent the law for her and Queen Tera was a beautiful Queen. She was kind and thoughtful and we all love her. Our people loved the King and Queen because in every way, they were amazing and they were kind. They loved us and we loved them in return” he replied as my eyes softened.“So imagine the kingdom when they both died, a little more than one week to each other” Juniper continued softly.“The whole kingdom was thrown into the morning, we couldn’t understand it. When the king died, p

    I quickly packed my tools out of the room and took a glance at Jonathan. He had a blank face and an unreadable expression and I tried to think or guess about what could have gone wrong but he didn’t look like he wanted to talk.“Lock the door and take the key with you” he said in a soft voice and I glanced at him and nodded as I locked the door.“You can leave” he said as he climbed into the bed and closed his eyes. I stared at him wondering what was going on. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to me.“Do you need something?” He asked and I opened my mouth to speak and I shook my head at the end.“Nothing of such your Highness. Please rest well, I’ll prevent anyone from disturbing you” I replied as I grabbed my tools and walked out the room closing the door on my way out.I walked out of the room, my back covered in sweat. The footsteps had made me jump in fright and I was scared that Jonathan would see me. I didn’t know why I had hidden the journal back and then I secretly hoped th

    I watched Jonathan exit the room and I walked towards the store, standing in front of the door not knowing what to do. I was feeling apprehensive whether to open the door or not. I had almost asked Jonathan what was behind the door and I had stopped myself. If he wouldn’t tell me what the store and I found out on my own, I didn’t think he was going to like it so a better option was to keep quiet and allow him to tell him myself but I have a feeling that If i stepped into the room it was going to be obvious that the room belonged to is mother.I sucked in my breadth and backed away from the door staring at the door. I dangled the rusted keys in my hand, swallowing hard. I had no idea when last they cleaned the room, if it would be dirty or how it was going to look like. Jonathan had gone for a council meeting so I knew that he was going to take a long time before he came back but something also told me that he had intentionally found an excuse to leave the room because I was going to c

    A lot of questions swirled in my head as I approached Jonathan’s room, I didn’t know where to start from, I didn’t know what to ask. Serena's words from the day before were yet to leave me. It was hard to believe that Jonathan had actually asked me to clean his mother’s store.Why? Was he hoping to torture me? Why would he want me to clean the store?I didn’t tell Serena that Jonathan had asked me to clean the store, I didn’t know what her reaction would be like, I didn’t even know how I was feeling either.I pushed the room door open and stepped inside, “Good morning Your Highness” I greeted him and Jonathan merely nodded at me, his face blank. My stomach churned at the look on his face, it told me that he was in a bad mood and insanity knew that I had to be careful myself. I couldn’t afford getting into his bad books anytime soon.I immediately washed my hands and walked towards the table, bringing out everything I needed to change his bandage and his herbs.“Masoma said you will be

    “You sent him over” Serena complained but I doubted she was complaining. A small smile crawled up my face as I shrugged.“Are you complaining that I did?” I asked and Serena immediately shook her head, “Not at all” she replied chuckling.“When I saw him what did you expect me to do? You've been sulking for the past few days now, so of course I had to ask him to do some explanation but I figured out that it was also going to be better for me to do the explanation in person” I added and Serena chuckled.“Alright, alright” She replied and I nodded, feeling affected by Serena’s bustling mood.“So what did he say?” I asked and Serena sighed, getting serious.“The war aftermath was serious, the council of elders are throwing a fit, they are attributing the win as a loss because of the way things turned out and now they are implementing more strategies against wars and everything” Serena replied and I leaned on my back.“What strategies, this is a rogue kingdom, independent of every kingdom
