Rhysand's frown deepened "Who's Amren??" Amren had introduced herself to him as West.Kyle groaned out in frustration as he shouted "West, your maid! Your wife!" The last statement caught Rhysand's attention as he furrowed his brows as if the revelation shook his core, well it did."Wife?? What wife?" He asked in uncertainty.Mateo rolled his eyes "Is that what we should be thinking about now?? Let's go find a way to help her out""Oh. Right" With that, Rhysand stormed out of his room.She had left his chamber a few minutes ago, how did she get apprehended by the king in just a matter of time??Where did she go? How was she caught?Did her secret reveal?? He was beside himself as he stormed off to the palace hall with his friends behind him.Getting to the hall, Rhysand entered the hall freely when the guards opened the gate.The king was seated and Amren was made to kneel in front of the king.Prince Ollivander was there and as well, lords and Hugo was present.Rhysand had a deep
"I have no time to waste here with you,quietly move along," Conan said with hate in his tone. Amren swallowed hard as she continued on her path, she knew she had offended Rhysand big time now. Explaining things is way too hard. • • • • "It worked, the king has locked Amren in the dungeon and surprisingly, brother did nothing about it," Prince Ollivander said as he grinned along with Caine. They both were in Prince Ollivander's chamber, glasses in hands as they smirked under the moon. "It's surprising to see her here, she was human all through, tsk tsk turns out she is his childhood sweetheart and they met in the human world again and fell in love....." he sighed "Then they were separated when Lincoln came back to Hagrid to reclaim his name as Prince Rhysand and she still managed to come out of the human world and now a witch, but a beautiful one tho" "Mysterious isn't it??" Prince Ollivander grinned "but now, that love will burn them" "What's our next plan??" Cai
"I do not care, I'm heading over to the dungeon to get her without anyone knowing, I can't let her spend the night there, I'll take her back before dawn," Rhysand said stubbornly.Mateo hit his forehead "Then why did you let her go to the dungeon if you had the intention of carrying her out of it later on??" "Hugo was there so I didn't want to do that in front of him so as not to implicate more harm on Amren, I drew the conclusion of carrying her out when the verdict was passed, I'm off now" with that, Rhysand walked over to his window and pushed the window slide."Why not pass through the door??" Kyle asked incredulously."I don't know why I suddenly like passing through windows, it's as if I've been doing this before" Rhysand smirked, and just like that, he leaped out of the room.Mateo sighed "Our friend has gone way too far off our reach now"Kyle whispered "I second that" •••••Rhysand found it suspicious when he didn't see any guards in the area, he walked in shadows, leap
Laying the unconscious Amren in a soft bed, Rhysand sighed as he searched through the wooden house, it was a house he bought years ago in the outskirts of Hagrid.Far from the major city of Hagrid.It was a small house, a wide compound that was fenced with high and huge walls.The area was lonely, and few houses were scattered around the place.Neighbors not knowing the other due to the distance, Rhysand sighed as he took a bowl of water from the table and a white towel.He walked over to where she was lying and soaked the towel in the water, he squeezed out the moisture before bringing it to her head and placing it there.He used it to massage her head for a while before he left it permanently there.Rhysand grabbed a short note and turned to look at the sick girl before dragging out a small stick like structure, a bit short but had an edge.It was red, he held it before using it to write out some words on the note.He walked out of the bedroom, outside the room was a small stair lea
"Arghhhhh" Rhysand growled in anger as he threw the vase and it crashed on the floor.Turning towards the intruders, Rhysand rushed towards the king who was dumbfounded as his gaze lingered in the room that was messed up.Vases and sheets were everywhere, the decors were falling off, and broken furniture was everywhere."Did you find her??" Turning to Hugo who was looking as if he just saw a ghost.Rhysand balled his fist "I told you all not to keep her there, she is my maid, I get to decide what happens to her but you chose to keep her in the dungeon and now she's nowhere in sight!" Rhysand snapped and the lord twitched their nose.A bit of relief washed over them, secretly they wanted this arrogant and mannerless Prince to become king cause they had no expectations of Prince Ollivander who was not so scheming and a bit too dumb in comparison to Rhysand.His not being a snitch is a good thing.They were hoping the king to change his heir soonest."My Prince, permit me to ask...""You
Days flew quickly, Hagrid was tensed, soldiers moving round the communities, and war had been declared between Witches and vampires.King Cassian's palace was heavily guarded, the soldiers and armies coming out, in a uniformed manner.Wearing Scale armor, and metal caps on their head, protecting their bodies.The most elaborate and protective armor was reserved for the charioteers, both the driver and warrior, who were singled out as prized targets for enemy archers, especially those with long-range composite bows.On the walls of the palace, several archers were placed there, some controlling the bomb engine.The place was filled with people.The armed men carried composite bows and long swords, their eyes were feisty.Some were in chariots.Standing in a long and wide line, the men stood uniformed, shouting slogans and singing war songs.The air could testify to the dread of this war, just like it had happened three thousand centuries ago during their forefathers, the time of Leferv
"Exactly and if your vampire husband comes to get you....that will be much more interesting and entertaining" Hilda smirked, she nodded at the men "Take her to the alter"••••"Hail goddess" Hilda chanted as she closed her eyes, Amren was tied to a chair, she was made to wear a plain loose white gown, her hair was messed up, and her silver hair signifies her immense powers that flowed through her veins, her eyes scanned the alter to see a knife, a bowl, and few objects.The room was somewhat familiar and when she thought hard, it was the same room from her dream, where Rhysand was created.She swallowed hard "What do you want to do with me??" She voiced out, not wanting to show fear but deep down, she was scared as hell.She had left the house Rhysand kept her in when she got a call from Hilda for the umpteenth time saying a war had broken out and she could help to settle the dispute, she should have known better than this whole thing was to lure her out of Hagrid.Hilda smirked de
Taking a few steps towards Hilda's lifeless body, the three witches were attacked from the back by Mateo and Kyle and they died that instant."Kyle!" Amren shouted in joy and urgency and Mateo stood close to the door while Kyle came up to untie her but the rope didn't budge."Oh my dear, the rope is not so easy to lose, it's a spell bonding rope" Kyle groaned out in frustration as he passed his fingers through his hair and Mateo gazed at him."The hell are you still delaying? Get that stuff done and let's leave already" Mateo snapped at Kyle who glared at him."It's a spelling rope and can't be Untied, do you get it now??" Kyle snapped back.Mateo rolled his eyes before coming closer "Come stay at the door and alert me if there's anyone" They switched positions as Mateo came over to Amren's side but Amren said hastily "Take that knife that was used to slay Hilda and cut it, it could kill Hilda which only means that the knife must contain some powers in it"Mateo didn't waste any time
"Let the heavens and the earth bear us witness. The heavens as executors, the earth as eye witness to this peace treaty between Vampires and Witches" King Cassian shouted, addressing the crowds, the king was standing in front of the hall's balcony, the crowds were massive, all from every part of Hagrid, in the middle of the crowds was a space that maintained the barrier, vampires at the right-hand side while the captured witches were on the left-hand side.The witches were not as many as the number of vampires there, but they were many.They were told about this treaty, the oldest wizard there, the father of Miguel Cervenka led the witches, and Miguel was amongst the crowd of captured witches and wizards.Some were not in support of this peace treaty but they had no choice but to swear the oath of allegiance after Cervenka,Miguel's father, summoned their goddess and The Vampires prayed to the heavens and their past kings."This peace treaty shall be passed down from our generation to
"Do not spite my dead son, I won't accept that!" Hugo growled."How did you think your son died?? he was working for a witch, I was there to witness it and Kyle and Mateo were also there" Rhysand rolled his eyes "That is to show that some vampires who think have egos are sort of worthless without pride....but that's not what I am here for" Hugo staggered backward while the king gazed at him with a piercing look "What do you suggest we do Rhysand""Let's form a long-lasting treaty that will bond the two sides so they can never break the agreement "Lord Drogo cleared his throat "How are we sure this will work? We can't control them with just written words on a scroll that can get torn over time"Viscount Magnus Lestat twitched his mouth a bit "That's why he suggested a huge wall that can stand as significant agreements between the worlds and also an oath of allegiance""I think it's a good idea then" Lord Drogo acknowledged.Some also whispered amongst themselves in agreement on the m
Walking into the hall of King Cassian Von Vendela, Rhysand and Mateo entered to see the lords gathered there.King Cassian frowned "Rhysand why did you hold this meeting and come late?" He asked.Rhysand had called for this meeting a while ago when he got to the palace and now it was commencing."My lord" he acknowledged, not bowing as he walked straight to the front of the king.Lord Drogo was seated in the very first seat close to the King's throat, lord Armand,lord Molocbai, Viscount Magnus Lestat, Lord Vittorio, and Emiel Velkan were there with so many other lords.They were all wearing blue robes with golden embodiments on them, their hair was long and close to their waistline, and they backed it in a bun.Rhysand's gaze wept to Prince Ollivander who was sitting on the right-hand's throne close to the king. Sensing his gaze on him, Prince Ollivander adjusted nervously on his seat while averting his gaze elsewhere.Prince Thibor was sitting amongst the lords, sitting close to the
"Am I the only one who heard that??" Rhysand asked ridiculously and Mateo and Kyle walked over to the bed "That sound came from her""Call the Physician Kyle" Rhysand bubbled in delight.Soon the Physician Was checking Amren, she placed a hand on her neck, and her face remained bland as she concentrated on her diagnosis.Rhysand and Mateo including Kyle couldn't seat still, Rhysand had both hands folded on his chest, his eyes remained on the physician, waiting for him to make the news.Rhysand felt his hands were covered in sweat as he sat there nervously, after a while, the physician turn to look at them."Well...Prince Rhysand""I'd appreciate it if you go straight to the point" Rhysand cut through as he asked, his eyes resting on Amren's body."Yes, Was it just us or...did it happen? we heard that sound from her " Kyle backed up Rhysand's words.Mateo remained quiet as he just waited for what was to come.The room had its tension as the air hung up, It was as if it was closing in o
"I was thinking of letting the king know of Rhysand's passing, it's been five days now" Kyle suggested as they both walked into the house.The living room was quite as usual as they made their way to the small stair and ascended it,"Just keep mute Kyle" Mateo groaned out in displeasure, his face was stoic as he knocked on the door but didn't hear a sound.Kyle was standing behind him with a pouty face "Let's just go in, maybe she's probably sleeping" Kyle concurred."What if she's dressing up?" "She would have answered" Kyle argued back."I do not have the time to bicker or banter words with you" Mateo interjected but Kyle had already held the doorknob and pushed the door open.The smell of smoke first hit their nose before their eyes scanned the room.Such enough, Rhysand was still in the bed but Amren was nowhere in sight.Their eyes scanned the room as they made their way into the room, Mateo laid his eyes on the table and they quickly walked over to see the items on it, Kyle mad
"Prince Rhysand hasn't returned to the palace for days now" King Cassian Asked Hugo who nodded."Did he perhaps find out that you know he did that?" The king inquired."I sent the body to the old Physician my lord," Hugo said quietly, his both hands folded "She did a test on his body and found that he was indeed killed not by vampire claws but by a witch"King Cassian frowned "you mean, Rhysand didn't kill Caine? But a witch?" Hugo sighed "I do not know how this whole thing came about, Rhysand has always hated Caine to the core and that's the very reason he had Caine banned from the human world and sentenced to Crege where Caine saw death face to face " King Cassian relaxed his back on the chair "I know Rhysand isn't that stupid to do that to you or Caine, he can get Caine punished not killed" "My lord, then who is this witch?" Hugo asked."Feyre?" The king asked instead and Hugo shook his head "We have destroyed the whole clan of witches and their community ""Then we have no othe
Just like that, Amren was living in the house Rhysand had kept her, his body laid on his bed as they used incense to keep his body warm.It has been two days and he's still not responding or making an attempt to wake and the hopes within Amren crumbled even more.The doctor has confirmed that he was dead as he was stabbed by that witch's sword that contains deadly magic and poisons.But somewhere within couldn't settle for that, she had always seen him as a strong man that couldn't fall, he was untouchable and strong.He couldn't die.Amren wept close to his body "Rhy....please wake up and I promise you won't be hurt for a second time, I know how to use my magic now and I'll protect you, your mom is no more so she can't hurt you, I failed you.... I failed to keep you safe but rather brought you closer to your death, I'm sorry" Her eyes were red and swollen.Soon, Mateo and Kyle came in, they both looked thinner just like Amren who hadn't been able to eat anything for days as she kept
All strength in her faded off, her soul lost its very essence, Amren's heart clenched on her chest, her blurred eyes looking at the lifeless man in her arms.Words couldn't form in her throat, the pain numbed her that she had no actions left to perform, no words to speak out, and all her brain cells were too short to process a thing.The pain made her lips quiver, her hands grow cold, and Amren felt like a lost thing.The whole room bore tension and Amren felt the cave was closing in on her, her face twisted in pain before she burst out.All the pain she had been holding in until now, she let them out as her ear-piercing cry ran out of her throat, hoping for the cry to lessen the pain she was feeling in her heart.For it to reduce the weight of hate in her heart, and for it to cleanse the memories of how Rhysand died in front of her."Argh" Mateo and Kyle couldn't retract their gazes, their eyes numb as they turned red."Is that Brother Rhysand?? Mateo, this can't be true right? It's
"Have you discovered Rhysand's whereabouts?" Hugo asked the guard before him but he shook his head "Not yet."Hugo balled his fists "Keep searching and be more proficient ""Yes sir" he bowed before leaving to find Rhysand's whereabouts.Hugo's eyes narrowed to the far distance "I'll get you Rhysand " ••••Meanwhile, inside the cave, The once quiet place was now filled with tension, They had initially thought it was just Feyre but it turned out several witches were also there with her.Rhysand killed two of the witches with his bare hands but the others kept using their magics to outrun them.Amren Watched on with dread, her eyes following Rhysand's every move, alerting him when a witch was close to striking him, her heart drumming heavily in her rib cage, hoping he would come out unscathed.Feyre was rather aggressive, she had injured Rhysand a few times with the multiple blades sent his way, she summoned blades at him, and they pierced his chest, cutting him roughly but the part
