Danger closer than you think.
The third town
LeiyaI stared at the strange looking woman with a skeptical gaze. I was both worried and amused. I had never seen her before, but she pointed me out without hesitation.“You're correct,”I mumbled while I slowly rose to my feet. All three men got up with me, their eyes fixated on her, ready to act if she acted strangely.“Who are you?” I asked with my eyes on her.“You can call me Frai,” she replied with a faint smile.“Do you mind?” she gestured towards the empty space beside Yahn. "I don't have a waist as strong as you young ones.”“Of course,” I muttered with a quick nod. “Please sit.”I glanced at the guards, informing them to be at ease. She seemed like a trail woman, there wasn't much harm she was going to be able to do. A moment later, we were all seated at the table, the old woman seated across from me.“I'll be quick with what I have to say,” she began after a light clearing of her throat. "There isn't much time lRelated chapters

The fourth townLeiyaAll through the night, I was tossing and turning, unable to successfully sleep. My mind wandered to every possible scenario that my sister and her husband could be in at the moment. I couldn't think of any safe or happy scenario. They were all bad ones. My mind wasn't settled. There was a sickening feeling at the bottom of my stomach. I knew something was wrong and I needed to act fast. As soon as the sun peeked its head through the clouds, I sprung to my feet. There was no use forcing what wasn't going to come. I opened the door to find my guards standing right outside. “Good,” I voiced out with a satisfied nod. “Let's get going.”They all nodded before going with me. Cizer walked before me, Kamael beside me and Yahn behind me. The town was empty and quiet when we stepped out of the inn. Its residents were still in deep slumber. The sun had barely risen and some parts of the sky was still dark, but I was too impatient, mostly worried, to

The forth town Leiya “You all look really hungry.” he said with a light chuckle. “You have no idea,” I replied with a giggle under my breath. He has this aura that made it hard to keep a straight face when I looked at him. "Four plates of your finest meal please.” He replied to my request with a small nod before walking away. While he was gone, my eyes scanned everywhere around us. The place looked calm. Everyone seemed to be focused on their business, and there was no shabby old woman or scheming young man in sight. I knew there was no luck this time, I was going to fish it out myself. The charming young man returned a few minutes later with the meal as instructed. Broth, as always, very soft bread with some cheese, properly cooked meat and cups of the excitement drink. It was a whole buffet. We all eyed our plates with hungry eyes while we watched him serve. “Enjoy your meal.” He beamed

The fourth townLeiyaYahn and Cizer returned just in time to stop any further awkwardness between Kamael and I. The moment seemed to be escalating when they walked in. We immediately tore our eyes away from each other. I felt flustered which wasn't supposed to happen. I kept telling myself I had something important ahead of me, I couldn't afford to be distracted. “We found an inn not far from here, your majesty.”Yahn informed me as they walked towards the table. I cleared my throat, getting rid of the butterfly feeling I felt at the bottom of my stomach. "Let's go.”I mumbled, nervously getting to my feet. I needed to get away from Kamael as fast as I could. My eyes kept darting to him without my permission. "Pay the nice server boy for the meal.”I handed a small bag of coins to Cizer. He responded with a nod before walking behind me. I made my way out of the tavern with Yahn and Kamael walking beside me. I got to the carriage and was about to s

The forth townLeiyaI wanted it to be my sister and her husband but any man could call his wife a princess. A man who was completely smitten by his wife would call her every royal name in the book. I didn't know what to think. “Thank you,”I mumbled defeatedly. "You're welcome.”She nodded before turning away from me. She showed us to another clean room, slightly bigger than the first and definitely without any funny smells. We agreed to take both rooms. I handed Yahn a small bag of coins to pay for the rooms while I returned to my room. The first thing I did was lie on the soft bed. The soothing feeling of the soft surface under my body relaxed my nerves, and even my thoughts. I laid face up with my eyes open. All I did was think about Nayla. I couldn't help but feel they stopped by this very inn. Maybe they were the couple she spoke about, with the funny friend who slit her own throat. I also wondered what kind of situation they were involved in tha

The fifth townLeiyaBy sunrise, my men and I resumed our journey to the next town. There was awkwardness that hung in the air between Kamael and I. When I mentioned that my heart belonged to someone else the night before, he went pale like he had seen a ghost. He said nothing else after that, biding me goodnight before leaving. By the morrow, he spoke to me only when it was necessary and even then, he refused to look me in the eyes. I felt terrible throughout the first day of our journey. My eyes would occasionally wander to him on his horse, hoping that he would look at me with a smile. His charming, breathtaking smile, but he never did. By the next day, I had gotten used to him pretending I wasn't there and also did the same. My eyes stayed glued to my book and I spoke to him only when it was necessary. The guilty feeling of rejecting him was gone. The desperate feeling of wanting him to act like he used to was also gone. We had reverted to our old ways. Our ways of

The fifth town Leiya “What do you mean by that?!" I yelled at her anxiously. I was scared. I knew the three of them against ten guards wasn't going to work out. They were strong but not that strong. Before I could get a response from her, things quickly escalated. An unsuspecting Yahn was attacked. Thankfully, his sword was already drawn out, just in time for him to defend himself. The first loud click of both metallic swords was the go ahead everybody else had. In the blink of an eye, swords and more swords were being slammed against each other. I was still in the middle of the three of them, but they were slowly losing balance. Ten against three was exactly what it was, a nightmare. Before they could recover from avoiding one hit, another was launched at them. I was completely defenseless. All my life, my father trained me in the dangerous skill of sword fighting. Now I needed to put those skills to use, but I had no sword. “Your majesty,” I heard Kamael whisper to

ArchurlLeiyaMy eyes gradually opened. The first thing they noticed was the movement of the rocky road. It took me a moment to notice I was being carried over a man's shoulder with a rope tied around my hands and legs. One by one, my brain began to piece together the last scenes I witnessed before I passed out. The sight of Yahn's lifeless body lying in a pool of his blood flashed before my eyes. My heart sank. I began to feel all the bitter emotions afresh. I hastily looked around me in search of the others. I was held firmly, my movements were restricted to just seeing in front of me. I tried to look over my shoulder. As soon as I tried, I felt a sharp horrible muscle pain. I didn't need to be told to look ahead of me. “Put me down!”I demanded with a loud yell, banging my tied fists against his back. I banged and banged, trying to get him to react, but I was getting the wrong attention. Just then, I realized I was being carried through a crowd of amused spe

Archurl Leiya The moment I was thrown into the cell, she flung herself into my arms. Our entire bodies shuddered as we cried uncontrollably, clinging onto each other as if for dear life. Just when I had lost all hope, just when I thought my mother's spirit had abandoned me, all the while she was leading me to her. To Nayla. The emptiness around us didn't matter anymore. Our injuries didn't matter anymore. The bodily pain we felt, we couldn't feel them anymore. The moment took it all away. The unrequited joy of finally being together was enough healing magic for us. It was all the healing we needed, for our souls and for our bodies. We cried and cried. There was so much to say, so much to express, so many feelings all at once, but all that came were tears. The journey that seemed almost impossible, that we had both given up on, it was all worth it. We finally got the courage to let go. We pulled back slightly, just enough to get another glimpse of each other's
