He didn't see anything, did he?
She turned back to look at Asim.
"I really need to go now".
"Of course. Goodnight"
And she scurried off.
Returning to her room, she thought about Xander. Why was he having such a cold look on when he saw them?
And recalling the look on his face, it made her suddenly have some double thoughts about giving the flowers to him. No; no matter what, she really needed to give the flowers to him.
She got to the room and found Jaden with the ash - just like she'd asked for.
"What took you so long huh? Jaden asked.
"Anyway, I hope this should be enough?"
"Yes. Thank you" Kaylan collected the ash from her and walked over to the table to set to work.

Her lips went shut when she saw Xander coming out of the room.Oh....She took her bottom lips into her mouth immediately, suddenly running out of words. Where was he off to, huh? She needed him to be in the room to....make it easier for her. She was still trying to prepare herself.Her eyes danced around him as he walked towards her direction, taking his usual gentle steps - gentleness that can be deceptive.He had his sheath in his left arm and wore a black cloth which made Kaylan think he was going to the field to practice - as usual. Does he think of anything else aside war??She continued staring glumly at him until he'd gotten to where she was. Xander was of course, surprised seeing her there, but being the kind of man he was, he wasn't ready to ask any questions and just decide it was best to walk away.Kaylan's heart gave a mighty leap when

Jaden watched the expression on Kaylan's face as she returned to the room, looking like a..."Hey"' she tapped her arm, but Kaylan said nothing as she just walked pass her and went ahead to sit on the bed, placing her hand on her jaw.Hmph - Jaden hummed and went closer to her."Hey pumpkin what the hell happened out there? Were you able to give the flowers to him?" She asked and Kaylan simply replied with a nod."And... what happened? Did he collect them?" She asked and Kaylan replied with another nod.Oh...."So, what's the problem? Why are you looking this way?" Jaden scoffed, finding the whole thing bemusing and Kaylan released her hand from her jaw."He collected the flowers, but he was grumpy about it" she said with a pout."Grumpy? How?" Jaden asked."Although, he th

Tears strolled down Hilda's cheeks as she watched the boys bring out their swords and take it to the neck of her son who was tied in front of her.They were going to kill him!!"No! Please...! Don't touch him, please! He's all I've got". Hilda cried out, wanting to stretch her hands but couldn't since her hands were tied.How did it get to this point? Who were these men and why were they trying to cause her pains?She could remember vividly; she'd returned home and found them in that state - her son tied to the chair with the boys beside him. What could be going on? What has she done to deserve this?"We don't have to hurt you or your son, young woman" one of the boys suddenly said, taking the sword closer to her son's neck and threatening a cut."But if you don't do as we say, we'll have no choice but to make you live a lonely life because your son would definitely be going benea

Jaden kept wondering what Kaylan was upto as she ran to the room. She was tired of watching her, so just kept silent and weather the drama."I need a very good dress, Jaden" Kaylan said, ruffling through the clothes in her closet.Seriously?"I'm still trying to understand what exactly you have in mind, young lady" Jaden said, but Kaylan paid no attention to her as she just concentrated on looking for the best dress instead.She searched and searched and after a while, came up with a long blue dress. Hmm."This is the beautiful, right?" She asked as she showed it to Jaden."Yeah....": Jaden drew her reply and quickly, Kaylan stripped herself so she could put it on."Come on, Jaden. I need you to make me up" Kaylan held her hand and drew her towards the mirror before Jaden could even utter a word.*

Kaylan and Jaden decided to check the field to see if Xander would still be there."Are you sure I'm looking good enough?" Kaylan asked, taking a look at her toes."Honestly, you're looking stunning, Kaylan. But I'm still wondering what exactly you have in mind, you know? And I really can't wait to see it" Jaden giggled."Just wait and see, Jaden. I definitely have something good. Just wait till Xander sees me...."The few people they came across couldn't stop stealing glances at Kaylan, especially the maids who always knew her to be so unruly and dress like a commoner some times. Why was she looking explicitly different today - they wondered.Her long hair which was styled to the right fitted her long blue gown which sparkled a little. Her make up was just perfect and brought out a beauty they'd never seen in her. Well, that was how the wife of Lord

"What important discussion do you say you want to have with me, Princess?" Xander asked as soon as Anya left and they were the only ones left in the room.His left hand was held mid way to his midway to his chest.Kaylan cleared her throat a bit and looked around before turning to face him. Okay.... What could she possibly tell him now? She actually didn't think about it before barging into the room.Xander didn't need to repeat himself because the moment Kaylan took a look at him, she could see those impatient eyes staring at her."Can I sit?" She asked, pointing to the wooden chair beside the bed and Xander stared silently at her for a while before signaling her to go ahead.And with a light smile on her face, she took the seat. Now, what other excuse does she have?"You know.. I have to seek permission before sitting because that was how my father trained I

By dawn of the following day, the news of the fight taking place between Lord Xander and Prince Berlin had gone really rival.Kings and Rulers had gotten an invitation to the venue of the fight and they were all muddled, wondering why Prince Berlin would challenge someone like Xander to a fight.They all know him - he was the master of swords, the demon fighter. Kingdoms were scared of going to war with him. So, why would Prince Berlin want to bring trouble for himself?Some of them felt it was a waste of time going to see how a mere prince would be killed. But the others felt they would really want to enjoy the show.**That morning, Kaylan sat in the room with Jaden, talking over it with breakfast."But why would Prince Berlin challenge Lord Xander to a fight? Just because he wants revenge?" Jaden asked, munching on her bread."It's just li

Hilda's heart was beating so heavily as she stood at the balcony with the strange man.The walls were cracked and the area, almost unrecognizable. She couldn't even tell where she was.The strange man let out a smirk as he saw the fear on her face. And then he took out the wrapped potion and handed over to her."Tomorrow's the day; don't forget" he said."All you have to do is make sure you sprinkle this in Lord Xander's meal or drink, so he takes them just before he leaves for the battle. I know you don't want to do this,but don't forget the life of your only son is at stake. My men are with him and the moment they notice you've failed on your mission, they'll split your son's neck and send his head to you.

Kaylan's hand cupped the bottom of her protruding belly as she stared at the face she's been longing to see.Her mother held her shoulder, guarded her to one of the royal seats.Xander's eyes followed their every move, his eyes particularly on Kaylan. It took him all the self-control in his body, not to stand up and pull Kaylan into his arms. He took his eyes somewhere else, willing himself to stay put, at least, till the end of the ceremony.Kaylan on the other hand couldn't sit still. She moved her legs about, her hands clutching the hem of her dress nervously."Are you okay, my darling?" Queen Hapitha who was sitting beside her asked."Xander is here, mom. He didn't even smile at me." Kaylan was close to tears.Queen Hapitha smiled and squeezed her hand. "The ceremony is on, Kaylan. Give him a break, I'm sure he will come around."Kaylan nodded and sighed softly. She glanced at Xander and saw him speaking to someone beside him. Few hours later, it was time to dance and that was w

***SOME MONTHS LATER*** Lord Xander came out of his room, fully dressed for his outing. Axel and Davie, his newest personal guard stood side by side by the door, ready to escort him to the carriage. He took the stairs gently, lifting his black long cloak slightly. He looked up and saw his Aunt, Madam Nadine, waiting for him. He stared at her for a while, looked away as he got closer. "Is everything ready for my journey?" "Yes, my Lord. Are you okay?" Madam Nadine asked, looking straight into the young man's face. Xander breathed in and stared down, he shook his head and stared back at the old lady. He would be lying if he told her he was fine. No. He was not. He was greatly disturbed. Frustrated, but then, he was tired of keeping everything to himself, he was tired of not having anyone to tell his mind. "Xander...you know you can always talk to me." Madam Nadine said, hoping he would not shone her away. "It's been five months without her, and it seems like eternity." Xander sa

King Moreh sat on his bed, scrolls scattered all over his sides. He dropped the one in his hands and picked another one, going through them carefully.The Queen walked in, a huge smile on her face as she walked towards the king. "My king, don't you think the study will be more convenient for you?" She asked, staring at the scrolls."Oh. It's a little bit hot in there. I'm okay here, I just need to search for a very important letter." King Moreh replied and briefly looked up. Realising how happy the queen appeared, he stared back at her. "You look so bright this morning, Hapitha compared to the other days." The king pointed out.The queen smiled and nodded. "I should be happy, my daughter is coming home after so many months away from us.""She's only coming to visit." The king replied, taking his eyes back to his scrolls.The queen looked at him and shook her head. "I know you miss her too, my king. It's all over your face. I can't wait to see her too."

"I can't do it, I won't do it." She mumbled.Xander let go of her and stepped back. "I won't allow you stay here and watch you die."Kaylan looked back at him, calmly now and nodded. "Yeah. I can't stay here either, knowing you'd never care for me nor the baby during the time I will carry he or her in my womb. I'd rather take the trip to my Kingdom and stay there for a while. I will give you sometime to calm down.""You think I will ever calm down knowing I will probably not see you again?" Xander retorted coldly, walking to the window.Kaylan watched him as he moved to the window and sighed. "I'm not gonna die.""Yes you are, so far you want to have that child." Xander replied, staring out of the window. Kaylan could see he was hurt but there was nothing she could do. Killing her own baby would be the last thing she'd ever have to do in her life. Slowly, she turned and left the room without glancing back.Xander turned and stared at the door. He walked back to the bed, sat down and

Xander stood in front of the door, arms folded. He continued staring at Kaylan until she was done.Kaylan turned and flinched slightly when she saw him standing there, looking at her. "You scared me.""What's wrong?" Xander asked calmly."Nothing. I will be fine." Kaylan said and hurried past him.Xander followed her back into the room, still staring at her. "You are not fine. Look how white and skinny you've become. What's...?" Xander stopped talking and sighed. "Axel. Come in here." He called, his eyes still on Kaylan.Axel came in immediately and bowed as he stood before Xander. "You called for me, my Lord.""Call in the royal physician immediately. Tell him to leave whatever he's doing right now and come up here." Xander ordered with his usual cold voice, still maintaining eye contact with his wife.Kaylan's lips slightly parted as she stared back at Xander. It was very obvious she was scared. It was written all over her face.Axel left the room immediately to carry out the order

Kaylan stayed awake all through the night, contemplating on what Xander had said. He sounded so serious that she was a super scared. She touched her stomach and stared down.No pregnancy? For the rest of her life?No.She couldn't live like that, she wouldn't be able to."Why aren't you sleeping?"Kaylan jolted as soon as Xander's voice was heard. She turned and saw him staring at her."I couldn't sleep." She mumbled a reply."Why?" Silence."Answer me, Kaylan." Xander demanded. "I'm protecting you from what I know might happen. What do you want? To leave me here and die?"Kaylan looked sharply at him. "But...what are you talking about? The curse has been broken. What are you afraid of?""Come." Xander whispered, stretching his hand toward her.Kaylan sighed and took it, moving closer to him. Xander hugged her to himself, closing his eyes."Sleep. Sleep, my princess." He said in a soothing voice.Kaylan couldn't object not say anything. She slowly closed her eyes and slept off.**

Camilla sat on a chair in the small parlour, her eyes were staring down and she didn't bother to stand up when Xander walked into the room.Xander sat opposite her and crossed his legs. Her stared at her and sighed. "It's been years now, bearing grudges against me isn't gonna bring her back. "Camilla slowly looked up at him and the hatred in her eyes burned into his. "You wouldn't be here if you know how much I hate you."Xander shrugged. " I don't like you very much too, do I?" He asked her with a mild tone.Camilla shook her head and tears trickled down her cheeks. "She was only a child, a child who was only trying to help her family to get something to eat."Xander stared silently at her, his hands shoved into his pockets. "What do you want me to do in order for you to remove the curse you placed on me?" He suddenly asked after a long silence." I will never ever remove the curse I placed on you. Never." Camilla replied with something powerful in her voice."Name your price. I wil

Xander woke up the next morning, found his queen sleeping right beside him. He reached out and moved a strand of hair from her face. He stared intently into her face, carefully and with possession. She was beautiful, with the way her eyes were closed, her lips slightly parted.He suddenly looked away and sighed. How could he bring himself so low to apologise to a woman who cursed him?Before he met Kaylan, his plans were different. He'd wanted to kill the woman who cursed him at first sight but now, he would have to beg her.It unsettled him as he tried to imagine himself, kneeling in front of a woman; begging her for mercy.Xander stood up from the bed and walked slowly to the window. It was still dark outside with the setting sun rising in the sky.He heard a movement behind him and turned to see Kaylan waking up. He folded his arms, leaned on the wall as he studied her. Kaylan opened her eyes and was startled to see Xander, staring at her. "You startled me!" She accused.Xander

Xander stared back into her face and slowly nodded. The support and encouragement he saw in the depths of her eyes was amazing but suddenly, he looked away and that cold look was back in his eyes, replacing the sober one."What do you want me to do about that? You want me to beg her?"" If it's gonna break the curse, if appeasing her will set you free..."" Enough. That's enough." Xander replied coldly, his eyes penetrating deep into hers intimidatingly.Kaylan closed her mouth, stared down at the floor when she couldn't take that hot gaze from the cold man.She nodded and sighed. "I will go back to sleep, I'm sorry if I crossed my boundary." With that, she turned and walked nervously towards the bed.Xander stared at her as she walked and cursed under his breath. What has he done?He followed her immediately, his steps, very light on the floor.Before Kaylan could get on the bed, he caught her wrist in his hand, twirled her around so she was facing him.Kaylan's breath increased as X
