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. Do you understand?"
Hilda's hands were shaking with the potion in it; she was sweating profusely. Why would these men want to poison Lord Xander?

Kaylan could feel her heart in her throat as soon as the words escaped his lips.Her heart stopped beating instantly, confusion and anxiety taking over. What did... What did he just say?"M...My Lord?" She stuttered, her eyes glued to his face."I don't... I don't think I understand".Xander said nothing, but only picked up some vegetables with his spoon.Kaylan was gobsmacked. Was this guy for real?Slowly, she turned and glanced at the door, a crazy idea popping in. Goodness! There was no way she could run away. His guards by the door would definitely seize her as soon as she steps a foot."You should start eating, Princess" his cold voice suddenly broke into her thoughts, snapping her out and she looked up at him."Um....Of course, I'll eat. But the aspect of spending the night here, I hope th

Xander returned to the room with the scroll in his hand and met Kaylan pacing tho and fro.She'd been so restless and was walking about in the room when she noticed him walk in and she became still immediately. Was he there to release her?Xander could notice how tensed she was but decided not to pay attention it. He walked past her to his closet, dropped the scroll and took out his belt.Kaylan watched keenly, hoping he says something. But it was obvious he didn't have such plans as he took what he wanted and started walking towards the door."My.... My Lord": she called as she took a step closer and Xander stopped walking to look at her.For a few seconds, she was out of words as those pretty eyes stared at hers."Can I....Am I free to go now?" She asked with a hard gulp.Xander stared at her for a while before giving ou

Hilda walked in with Lord Xander's meal in a tray, her head bowed and her systems trying so hard to hide her anxiety.Her hands were nearly shaking."G..... Good morning, My Lord" she greeted with a bow.But Xander didn't turn to look at her as he just fixed his gaze into space."I'm not eating, Hilda" he suddenly said, making her heart skip two beats.What????"M...My Lord, I don't understand' she stuttered and gulped hard."I thought you were going for a fight? You need to have some....""Just make me some tea, Hilda" he cut her off, calmly tho."Some tea and I'll be fine".Hilda exhaled deeply."As you wish, My Lord" she bowed and left the room with the tray.**Kaylan sat quietly on the bed, her hand on her jaw, looking like one in deep tho

Kaylan and Jaden got dressed afterwards, both trying to look as simple as possible. No matter what, Kaylan was determined to go watch the match. She wouldn't let anyone stop her for any reason."But, what if Lord Xander eventually gets to know we violated his orders by showing up at the fight?" Jaden asked as she helped Kaylan brush her hair in front of the mirror."Oh! Stop thinking negatively, Jaden. He's never going to find out, Okay? And even if he does, I'll make sure you don't get punished. Alright?""Fine" Jaden rolled her eyes."But...do you realize we haven't even had breakfast?""There's no time, Jaden. Don't worry, we'll find something to eat on our way; bills on me"."Mm. If you say so".Jaden finished brushing the hair and was about packing it when she noticed Kaylan's hairpin was missing.&

"Are you sure I'm looking good enough?" Jaden asked Kaylan as she twirled herself in front of the mirror."Stop being impossible, Jaden. We're only going there to watch a fight.Oh.... Forgive my manners; I actually forgot you're single and you're probably looking out for a husband" Kaylan teased, earning a glare from Jaden as they left the room."Do we make use of a horse?" Jaden asked as they walked outside."Of course, not I don't even know how to use a horse. Besides, using a horse right now would create too much suspicions from the guards and I don't want that. So, we'll just get a ride outside..." Kaylan replied.They walked out the gate, strolled down to the market side and there they were able to get a local carriage to ride them to the venue.************************Lord Xander stepped out of his carriage, his sh

It was poisoned! Kaylan thought.And that was the same drink.... Xander had taken!Oh, no; it can't be possible. Xander's about having a fight!!Her eyes rotated all around Jaden."Is she.... is she still alive?" She asked in deep breaths."Yes. The poison isn't meant to kill; it's only meant to cause dizziness and weakness. She's still fine" the woman replied and Kaylan got off her knees immediately, turning to the rider."Please, I beg you with everything you believe in; take me to the venue of the fight. Please..!" She said desperately with her palms placed together."What're you talking about?? Your friend's unconscious and you're thinking of the fight?" The rider asked with a ridiculous scoff."Please!! Just do it! Please, I beg you. Please".He could see tears glistening in her eyes

Kaylan sobbed on the unconscious body on the floor, holding him tight. She didn't exactly know what she was doing; wasn't thinking straight. But, the moment she'd seen Xander reach the floor, she couldn't get a grip of herself and had to rush in.Prince Berlin was disturbed, the murmurings from the crowd getting louder and louder."Get away, Princess" Berlin gritted, his sword still held up high."Because you're no friend of mine. I'll slash your through your neck, just to get to him"."He was poisoned!!!" Kaylan yelled out - tearfully."SOMEONE POISONED HIM!! Someone who wanted him to lose this fight".She could see the twitch in Berlin's eyes. The coordinator was already getting closer."Hey! What's going on??" He demanded."Step aside, Princess! You won't be spared!"More hefty men were already troopin

"Hurry up, Callum; Hurry up" Hilda said to her son as they parked up their important things in their bags."Make sure you leave no essential thing behind".Sound of bottles and bags could be heard."But, where do we go from here, mother?" Callum suddenly looked at her and asked."That isn't important for now, Callum. It doesn't matter if we live under the sea or anything. Getting away is the most important thing for us right now, because if Lord Xander ever gets to lay his hands on us, we'll both be dead. So, hurry up": Hilda answered huskily and tried concentrating."Thank you, mother" Callum said. "Thank you for taking the risk to save me".Hilda looked at him and simply nodded.************************Kaylan stepped out of the carriage and followed Axel behind as they carried Xander to his chambers

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
