2020-11-23 13:08:46My head pounding was the thing that disturbed me from my sleep, I struggled to open my eyes and when I did, it was go see a council member face close to mine.
The man with Themis hair color eyes widened when he saw my eyes was opened and he scrambled away from me. “Your majesty, her eyes are opened.” He rushed out and within second, his face was replaced with a younger looking face, a shock of black hair that looked like it was painted and if I ran my fingers through it, my hand will come out stained with some of the ink. A well-defined face with enchanting eyes that could leave even the most serious woman who was immune to men, speechless when they rest on the woman.
In other words, My husband was leaning over me, with worry in his eyes, worry mostly false and as much as I would hate to prove him wrong that nothing was wrong with me, I couldn’t because my head was like a war drum.
When I groaned, His attention cut

I knew better than to wish things would be better, that was just wishful thinking on my part. Wishful thinking because, not only did the side comments begin the minute I sat with them for breakfast that day but because they went ahead and brought Faye to have breakfast with us like she was someone of the same rank.It made me angry but I reined it in and never stopped smiling.Or at least I didn’t until they opened their mouth.“Gwenn, when you left and came back, I thought it would be with a better disposition, I mean. You didn’t say anything to Faye even though she is right opposite you on the table.” Catia said with a smile, the brothers were there watching to see how this would go down.I have learnt earlier on to not bank on any of them to correct their sisters. Their sisters are pet to them and they might not approve of their sisters ways of doing things but they will never side an outsider over

AriusI threw Faye into my room as I shut the door behind me and leaned my face on it, trying to calm myself down. Faye just attacked my wife. I was restraining myself from hitting her. I had to keep reminding myself that I don’t hit women.“My King…” Faye started, her voice teary but I was already passed the stage of her tears moving me.“Tell me Faye, what were you thinking when you attackd Gwenn, she is a fighter and you are not. She was well within her right to kill you abd if you had hurt her, I was well withing my rights to have you banished or killed. What was goi9ng on in your mind?” I roared at her as she shrank back from me.“I am so sorry my king. It was never my intention to try and attack her but with her tone and the way she talked, I just lost control of my mind. She shouldn’t get to have you. she shouldn’t be with you my King. She is not worthy of being called yours.” Faye sobbed.“But she is and your actions were

Kastav“Prince Kastav, I am just a servant. I am not sure that I can help you.” Faye said biting her plump lip, everything the girl does was pure seduction whether she was aware or not. Catia rolled her eyes like she would soon get tired of Faye attitude. That was one of the things which my younger sisters lack, Patience but it was okay. As their elder brother, I was born with an abundance of it and I will use it to protect them.“You know that you are more than that.” I answered her with a smile. “You are a queen, a beautiful damsel. The only one who caught the attention of my brother truly because his wife is just a connection. That is why you are the only one who can help me.”“My Prince, I would really like to but I am not sure how…” Faye started but Catia rolled her eyes.“Listen, I didn’t invite you to seat with us at the table because I liked your face, it is a fine one but you are underestimating yourself. You had all my brothers enthra

What is it with people appearing in my back since I came here? Before I could turn to look at Arius, Sorens face had already turned ashen and he yanked his hand away from my shoulders like he has been burnt. I turned to face Arius only to see Faye behind him.Oh the hypocrite!I was fuming mad but I reined it in as I arched a cool eyebrow at him.“Punished, Why will Sorens be punished?” I asked him.“You know his name, he is a member of your legion, you should refer to him by his title and nothing else.” Arius raged.“It is my legion, you have no power over what I chose to refer to them as. Besides Sorens is different.” I answered with an absent smile on my face. “He is special.”“You ought not to do anything with him, it is against the laws and it is not right, you my queen should not touch any man…” Arius started with a list of rules which he has done practically everything on it just the opposite.

GwennI was like a child who has not seen her father in a while, the way I ran to the shelves holding whips and swords, I kept sampling, thanking Sorens a mile a minute not caring who saw me acting so undignified. I knew that a queen was not supposed to act this way but I couldn’t help myself. I get to have weapons once more, this time Northshore weapons that are very sharp and easy to maneuver.Dar was an empire that do not slack off when it comes to weapons of war and their soldiers but Northshore takes their army a lot more serious, they are enclosed from the outside world and barely face any threat. I really don’t understand why they go through all these.Unless they have something to hide.I shook my head to banish that thought, these are my people now, their secrets and weaknesses are mine and I am supposed to do everything possible to protect it.“What’s wrong?” Sorens laid a hand on my arm, he must have seen me shake my head.&n

AriusI cannot believe that Gwenn was that free with Sorens who is just her second in command and she didn’t even notice that he was looking at her like she hung the stars and moon.I was not okay with Sorens being close to Gwenn at all. I needed to talk to him about this little crush of his that he is nursing for my wife. My. Wife!Someone who will never be his, he knew of this fact before I sent him off with her. Was I wrong to tell him to keep a close look on her?And to think she slapped me because of him!I know that I was a little out of line but Gwenn always brings out that part in me, I was just stating my interest. I don’t want the whole of Northshore to doubt my son’s parentage.Gwenn will never win in a war against me and if it was a war that she was looking for, a war she will get. It was time I make good the terms she agreed to about making heirs. That will guarantee that she does not do anything with Sorens.I

GwennI came back to the palace to see Arius pacing round just outside the gate, I was not in the mood for whatever he wanted.“Husband alert. I heard you punched him when you came around the first time and this morning, you slapped him.”“Really? You heard already?” I cringed at what the people who had not seen me will think of me who always hit their king.“The news is everywhere, people are already thinking of you as a queen who does not take nonsense and that is a good thing in my book.” Sorian added.“This was not the impression I wanted to have…” I said but Sorian shook his head.“It should be, but can you try and do any of those things now, I want to tell people that I had a first-hand experience of seeing you put the king in his place.” Sorian said.“He is standing right in front of you.” Sorens tell his brother who raised an eyebrow at him?“So? Can you Gwenn?” He asked as Sorens inhaled a loud br

GwennI felt Sorens direct me to a seat to sit down, a seat which one of the council members provided, at least they were not all dense not to see how much this hurt.“I am sorry.” I said with a laugh as I looked around the room, this time, none of them were bold enough to meet my gaze. “I thought I heard something like, My husband already has a child on the way and this child is not mine.”When nobody could look at me, I finally looked at Arius direction. He couldn’t do this to me. I know we had our rough patches but among his deal with Themis, I remember Themis telling me distinctly that one of the terms was no extra family other than the one which I will provide him. This was still hard for me to swallow.“Arius tell them that the child is not yours or something. That was not part of our plans. It was not what we bargained.” I stated, looking at my husband.Arius flinched. “Gwenn…”“Look me in the eyes when you need to t

24 YEARS LATER. Gwenn Pov “I want to run a sword through you so badly that the feeling is visceral. After all these years together I cannot believe you still are a bigoted two timing jerk.” I yelled as I stormed into the throne room, Arius behind me. “I am Yama, I cannot be seen as the fool being controlled by the Alal. It would undermine my ruling…” Arius tried explaining but he just made me even more furious than usual. “Your ruling… I am right and the whole kingdom is aware of that, the forgotten world should not be explored.” “It has been over twenty years. I know that you don’t want it to be explored and that was why I came up with the suggestion that I did. Let it be explored by a selected group of youth, freed from the machinations of the council and led by our children. But you had to spoil it by talking out of turn.” “Did you hit your head without my knowledge?” I asked surprised. Whatever makes

Gwenn Pov“You and Orel will soon be going back won’t you?” I asked. Throughout that day, I had caught Themis and Orel sent each other glances.“Yes. We have to, our work here is almost done and we need to go back.” Themis answered. She would have given me more information but I had a feeling she stopped because I was no longer their citizen. I was now a Northerner.So was she but her loyalty lies with Dar because she was married to one of the rulers.“Almost?” I asked her.“Yes we still have one more task to do. Your curse has been broken and Arius own also has, the empire is slowly flourishing and getting itself back. It has been just three months but the repairs are almost done. Northshorians certainly do not let anything keep them down for long.”I winced at her words.“We prefer Northerners.” I answered as she smiled. “But I stil

Arius Pov I cannot believe that I slept through the period where my country was hijacked and my brother was possessed by an evil spirit that eventually killed him. Kastav was not evil, all he was, was greedy. Maybe I could have prevented this if I had listened to Gwenn warning at first. Gwenn thinks the death of others were on her but she could not be further from the truth. They were on me.Gwenn was Alal, her role was to keep the peace, mine was to fight if the peace was threatened. She was a foreigner and she had no vested interest in saving Northshore but she still did. She had nothing to feel, no weight to carry.I was supposed to carry them all because I could have prevented the death of my sister and Sorens and my councilors too but I did not. I chose to ignore the words of a seer. My fault but now, things are strange and Northshore us not as we know it to be. Old records are being dug. T

Gwenn Pov“You have to stand up and stop moping.” Orel started. “You have been lying in bed for two days now, you don’t have the luxury of lying around, not when you have a kingdom to restore and a husband to find.”“Sorens is dead Orel. He died because of my order that he should protect the king, if he is dead than Arius also is.” I stated as I sniffled while holding on to Elison’s hand while he laid beside me.“But…” Orel started but I grew annoyed.“Only three council members remaining, my husband dead, Sorens dead and his siblings, four dead. These are only the deaths I am aware of, excluding a legion which is dead and you are trying to tell me that I am not at fault. If I never came here, this would never have happened. This is all my fault.” I screamed at Orel and when Elison face wrinkled as he ope

Themis PovI had appeared at the right time. Gwenn was in shock, staring at a body on the ground. Without looking at the body, I knew that it was Silana, one of the blind spots in my gift. A blind spot that might have saved the world.“Would you look at that, the same way I killed Sorens, I also killed that brat. The next on the list is you.” Kastav crackled as he moved towards Gwenn in a leisured pace.I could not allow that to happen, there was not much I could do except throw a dagger, which I collected from Orel, his way. I needed to get Gwenn to snap out of her mind and tell her what I learnt. She needed to tap into my gift so she could win.When the dagger met its mark, I ran towards Gwenn even as he grunted.“You.” He growled as he sent something my way but it never had the chance to reach me becau

Themis PovI was tired of falling. I have been falling for what felt like hours now because since Kastav sent us into the portal he created, I have not been able to stop falling. My only consolation is that Orel and my son has been on the same length as me, no one of us ever leaving the same length so we could keep each other in the same eyesight. That should have been the first marker for me but I had ignored it. We stopped shouting when the fall did not stop and even started conversing and that was when something different happened.“I wish this would just end soon.” Orel grated.“It should have ended because we are not of the same weight and yet we are still falling at the level of falling.” I voiced“My wife must be tired of viewing my face since she wants me to fall faster.” Orel replied wryly.“No, that is not it.

Catia povMy brother is possessed by a drude. That alone makes him unable to rule but I would not be the person to tell him that, not when the last few people who did, died. I now know why Silana said I was the biggest scum at Kastav side. I pushed him to this. If I had allowed him to be contented with his life when he was just a prince and stop his ambitions then maybe this would have never happened.And now I was on my way to see my favorite brother who killed three of my other brothers and made me his queen. The only time I was ever this scared was when Father became ill and even then, he was present to calm me down but who is going to calm me of my fear from him.“You took your time.” Kastav growled the minute I entered the throne room. A room that has become his favorite in the castle even though he hardly do anything in it.“I got the message le

I wanted to ask so many questions, so badly but I could not. My tongue was tied as I watched the entity that was partly inside me since. I apparently crossed the world of the living to their world. I had passed through a physical gate and landed myself here both body and spirit.“Am I still alive?” I questioned.“Yes.” She laughed. “Very much so. Oh how I wished that I could get to spend time with you and know you, my newer self but I cannot. Time has ran out and our world is in jeopardy. Both of our worlds. You need to defeat Mazikeen but for that to happen, we need to go back to the beginning because for the future to be safe once more, the genesis of it all has to be known. Are you ready?” She asked.I nodded my replied. I have been ready ever since I started this journey.“Mazikeen did not go out looking for power, he stumb

“What is going on?” Catia approached me the moment, I entered. I watched as our other siblings eyed us, my brothers especially. They must have guessed what was.“What mother wanted for me.” I replied my sister. I watched as Catia eyes farrowed as she tried to reason what I said. I saw the exact moment she understood. The joy in her gaze and then she hugged me.“I am happy brother. Congratulations.” She replied before she went back to our siblings.I walked to the throne, the direction which everybody was facing and in front of everybody, I sat down in the seat meant for Yama. Utter silence filled the room, regardless of the people in it. All eyes on me as they realized that this was me over throwing my brother.“Any questions?” I asked.“What about the king…” A Mareikura asked
