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
The woman in the room with Jaden, stood up immediately."I'm so sorry dear, but you need to leave now. I think you're better. Besides, when you get home, you can get yourself a better physician, Okay?" She stated calmly, and Jaden just nodded as she stood up, wondering why her mother had been so hard on her."Thank you for your help. I really appreciate" she said."You're welcome. Um....hold on".The woman rushed to her bag and returned with some coins."You should use this for your transportation because I'm not so sure you're having one with you".Jaden was surprised. Was that harsh woman really her mother!??"Thank you so much; I... I don't even know how to thank you enough" she expressed."Well, you don't really have to. I just hope you don't get into more trouble. You should leave now. I'll take you to a
After a long aimless search, Kaylan decided to return to the Mansion to see if she could get help from some guards.She walked all the way to the market place and paid for a ride home.*Returning to the Mansion atrer a while, she was most surprised to find Jaden, standing by the gate and talking to one of the guards. Hold on; Jaden???Her eyes beamed as she stared at her in both shock and excitement."Jaden?!" She called, and Jaden turned to look at her immediately."Kaylan!!" She reciprocated and the two ladies ran into each other's arms."My goodness! I can't believe this is you. I've been searching all over for you and was about coming to ask some of the guards for help". Kaylan cooed, turning Jaden from right to left to be sure she actually wasn't dreaming."Well, I was just asking the guard after you. You know, I ju
Xander stopped writing and leaned back on his chair, gaining Kaylan's gaze on him.She noticed the displeasure on his face as he stretched out his wounded arm to reach for a scroll."Please, take a seat, Princess" he stated effortlessly and Kaylan looked around for the nearest seat.She found one right behind her and took it, sitting like a humble lady.Lord Xander went cold for a second as he started unfolding the scroll."Axel told me you were the first to know about the poison" he began, his eyes on the scroll he was rolling."How did that happen?"Woah...Kaylan itched the back of her neck."Well...." She hesitated a little."I had come into your room to get my hair pin and.... Jaden saw the tea on the table and took a taste from it. She didn't mean to be intruding, you know? She just wanted to have
If there was a word greater than fear, Berlin would've definitely used it on himself at that moment. He stood at the balcony, staring at Xander as he stood under the sun with so much rage. At that moment, he wished his parents would be able to protect him.The sun heated Lord Xander's skin and caused some sweats to drop from him."You're making the wrong choice, Berlin" he gritted and started walking forward.The guards summoned courage and gathered themselves around him trying to block his way, but he pushed his sword into the belly of the first one in front of him, and with a groan, he landed on the ground in blood.His death scared the others who took some steps away; but knowing their jobs and knowing they couldn't just chicken away, they decided to fight back.Xander's guards from behind had already pulled out their swords, but Xander didn't need them. 
Kaylan and Jaden were talking a walk around the balcony when they heard the hard hooves of horses riding in. They looked downwards and found Lord Xander riding in with the guards - so dangerously."It's been hours already. I wonder where they went" Jaden commented and Kaylan just shrugged.**Xander stepped down from his horses and marched into his chambers,Axel following up closely.Xander felt both hurt and pained. He was probably pained due to the fact that he was reminded of his inability to have a child. And also pained because he' didn't kill Berlin in the end. Well, the words of his mother saved him.He got into his chambers and dropped his sword on the table."My Lord; do you need me to get something for you?' Axel asked from behind, trying to chose his words wisely so he doesn't sound offensive in anyway.Xander said nothing inner as he remove
Anya closed the door and returned to the room afterwards."I need to go now". She said. "But, I do hope we could continue this conversation soon enough, especially when you've become more reasonable"."I don't think so, because I still need to understand what you're talking about and you haven't made it clear to me". Akim replied, his hands still crossed below his chest."Just....imagine yourself being close to Kaylan" she said with her eyes closed."You could have her; while I get what I want".And with that, she opened the door and walked out of the room.**It was a long walk for Anya to Lord Xander's room and as she got closer, her heart kept beating heavily in her chest. Of course, she knew he was calling for intimacy, but she was helplessly scared of his roughness.She hoped it wouldn't affect her child 'cause she sure wasn't ready to lose it.
Lord Xander felt bored and exhausted.For someone like him, it was extremely hard to feel this way and he wondered if it was as a result of the encounter he has with Prince Berlin earlier that day.His mother's words wouldn't stop ringing in his ears:*Someday, you'll become a father and I'm so sure you'll never want to watch anyone hurt your child* he couldn't get rid of those lines.Become a father? But how?.How, when he was under a curse? How, when he had lost his previous wives in the process of giving him a child?He was cursed; was never going to have an heir; a successor. When he dies, his legacy would be gone; and rulership passed onto another.He dropped the feather he was writing with and covered his face with his palms, taking a deep breath. Over the years, he's never felt so torn, so broken.He was nearly divin
