“What is this all about?” Prince Jion inquired the two lords upon beholding that his private garden wast occupied with people.

Such news only made the king decided to rally or wield the defense army in advance for any unseen attack.

After the incident two days ago, princess Alminah sent back Chaerin and Shima to the forbidden valley despite their protest to stay.

King Suk, now alone in the court which was filled with important royal families abroad while ago, was now contemplating about the sudden entrance of the young prince just before the court trial begun. The tribe princess was no where to be seen during the trial yet the young prince did all the talking about the case of the young princess living among the royal family.There were disputes and harsh questions raised against the truthfulness of the words the crown prince spoke, trying to rebuttal and find fault of his words. Yes, there were those kings who cared no less about the rumors but they only attend as to create a chink on the strong armor that the current ruling family was wearing. The empire was like a giant wall and it got stronger upon the time being most especially that the royal family hast weld alliance to the most formidable enemy of the country.

Jion took his silence first, intently staring at the princess in the eyes before he asked again. "What's with you and east kingdom that you're even willing to dine with robbers instead of clicking glasses in the ball?"“The east kingdom is where the danger reside, your highness.” Princess Alminah said where she was answered with another stretch of silence from the person across her.Jion walked closely towards one of the book shelves, picked a random book then sit back to his large chair, taking his time to process her words.“Howmuchdoyeknowaboutthekingdomtosaythat,littleprincess?Whyareyoulividoftheideaofusgoingthere?”“Livid?” Alminah's brows contorted in confusions on her face before she spoke again. “I am no angry.”Jion rai
Epilogue The whole tribe, now dwell in the valley Zagreb, waited for one person to arrive in the field. It has been two weeks since the young prince departed, leaving his wife in the care of her own tribe. The large blue moon lighted the dark fields but it made the heart of the princess melancholic. It has been many nights, she was alone in bed without the heat from her husband's body. The teuton tribe people rounded on the large bonfire after the merry making. Alminah bit her lower lip while tracing with her hands the gem she acquired on the wild river. Jion trekked into the mountains, alone. To retrieve the heart of the active volcano. She knew that his quest would require him his life, she told the prince of
Alminah was silenced as she arrived at the great river. She had removed her cloaked and let it dropped onto the grassy ground. She listened to the wild thrashing of the river falls and the violent rapids. She was atop and beholding the frightening deep waters below. Her horse made a sound of protest when she crouched down as if readying herself to launched forward. Her eyes glistened blue, her normal eyes, when she smiled to the horse, calming the beast before she jumped into a perfect dive. Almost immediately, she was swallowed by the river and never came out the surface for a while. The horse, if it was even possible to have its leash untied, would like to go and save the tribe princess.The noise of the horse whinnying so loudly draw the attentions of the royal carriage as well as the royal guards passing by the rivers."A horse?" Princess Sue commented to no one in particular. Both prince Woon and Prince Jion were outside t
Dari hastily strode towards the large tent situated at the heart of the valley. A scroll with the royal crest on it was on his right hand. When he was admitted inside by the warriors guarding the entrance, he saw the tribe king in conversation with another tribe chief from the west.KingTeutonraisedhisheadwhenhebeheldDariwhobowedbeforehim."An epistle from the royal family, chief Teuton." Dari said respectfully. When Teuton nodded to him, he went to hand him the scroll and waited for his order.Teuton untied the scroll from the gold-plated thread. He immediately read the heading of the epistle which made his forehead creased slightly.The chief trie from the west gave Teuton a studying gaze before he asked. "What contains it, Teuton?"It took awhile before Teuton could answer Ashir of his inquiry as he made sure to finish reading the scroll b
The tribe princess had made her own point in not raging war again and because of that, Chief Teuton was freed. It wasn't because of democratic way of dealing the elites but rather it was by force into agreeing to her.The large group of the tribe slowly emerged out the gate of the kingdom, trekking the very lands of their inheritance. War has ended. But it was as if the momentary truce between the elites and the tribe was placed into a thin layer of iced river water. One wrong move and the ungodly fight will explode again."Alothadhappenedtoday,isn'titdaughter?""Yea shetai. A lot indeed." Alminah said in much meaning behind, looking ahead the horizon of the sun setting down the horizon."I'mtirednow.Goodthatthouhastendedthewarinsuchunexpectedfashion.""Areyouproudofmenow, 
In the baron court, just when the sun had risen up its glory in the sky, the king, lords, vassals, knights, elite people and his counselors gathered to hear a forum about what they shall do with the Chief of the barbarians.“Weshallkillhim!”oneofthecounselorsraised.Manyagreedhispreposition.“Weshalllethimsuffer!Burnhimuntildeathattheplaza!”The king pondered deeply. He fully understood the anger his people hold on their hearts. However, there were anxieties within him that troubled his mind. What if the death of the Teuton stirs up more contentions? He knew barbarians are fierce when provoked. The decades of war were the proof of it. They will not stop until they satiate their understanding on justice. He must admit that he was getting tired of it. From the moment he was in the t

Chaerin added.As they all sat down to dine, the three of them just stared at the animated placement of the dinner ware in front of them, worried on how to handle those without shaming themselves."Oh goodness..." Shima exclaimed as she saw the sets of what look like to her as many forks, many spoons, layers of platters and lines of drinking glasses. She looked up and saw that Minah and Chaerin had the same predicament."All I wanted to do is to be glutton tonight and not use this blasted silvers." Minah r emarked in hushed tone, slightly leaning on the tables towards them."Yeah, we have fingers to reach the food and just-," Chaerin wasn't able
Lord Sten was informed of the occurring events in the large valley where the tribe circus traveler was temporarily pitching their tents. Not a hint of humor could be seen upon his facade when he got inside the dungeon of the Capulet. The house was in silent frantic upon the sudden visit of the King's royal right hand."It'sanhonortohavethee-,"Lord Sten raised his hand to the head of the house, "Save the lulling sir.

Dari placed the last tent on the carriage as ordered by the Teuton chief since they were now entering the capital tonight for the circus show as requested by the grand queen to welcome his son, the king from his travel overseas. It was late in the afternoon but the sun was not setting any soon so he was privilege to do the chores without the difficulty of having no light. As he finished checking the goods including the food and the caged animals which included the black pumas, he turned to get back to his own horse when the three ladies showed up, heavily panting. “What are ye-, Shima? Are ye hurt?” Dari ran to them and affirmed that she was wounded. “What happened?” he exclaimed facing Chaerin this time. “Tis not my fault. We were just walking around, listening into crazy old tales and all of the sudden, there are fighting and Shima got hurt. Minah was mad and got involved in the fight and she made the guy Capulet angry and w
It was a very weary practice and the chief tribe allowed them to breathe some air either just to sit around the grassy valley or roamed around the capital to get familiar with the place just before they wilt have to perform the circus for the noble. Alminah and Shima shared the same interest in fine jewelries that the English women wore in some occasions so they sorted to be in the city to check some of the goodies. “Iwantedtopracticeratherthatwalkedaroundinthisnoisyplace.If it is not for our living, I’d rather me inside the tent and play swords. It is in my blood. I could felt itright in my flesh and bones.” Chaerin continued to blabber nonsense while following the two ladies around. “Oh shut it, Chae. Ye are no fun.” Alminah managed to talk despite her animated choosing of the jewelries. “Dari and Chae were like siblings who struggled to e
