For a man like him, he wasn't supposed to be bothered, but yeah, he was. Although it didn't reflect on his expression or anything; it could only be felt inside of him.
After a while, Axel returned with the chief council who was heavily adorned like he was on his way to or from a meeting.
"He's here, My Lord" Axel bowed and with the wave of a hand, Xander dismissed him.
"Greetings, My Lord" the chief council bowed as he stood in front of Xander.
Although, he was way older than Xander, he was wise enough to know it wasn't in the size, but the stature.
"You may rise, counsel" Xander replied and the elderly man didn't hesitate to lift his head Immediately.
"I got your letter. How serious is it?" Xander asked after a few seconds of silence.

I really need this" princess Sharon grouse, her face crumbling up."But why would you make such a request in the first place, huh? Why would you want to be under someone as possessive as Lord Xander?" King Ephraim asked, stopping and turning to spare her a glance."I.... I just want to. Please father, don't say no. This would really mean a lot to me" Sharon clasped her palms together and said with pleading eyes.Oh...! She really needed this man to agree.King Ephraim didn't say a word as he took off his Royal robe and gold belt as well.

Kaylan stood up as soon as Axel left"What's he talking about? Why does he want me to get dressed up?" She asked Jaden who was closing the door."I don't know Kaylan, but based on his words, I think you're going out with Lord Xander". Jaden replied and could clearly see the surprise in Kaylan's eyes"Going out with Xander?' she scoffed."And why would I go out with Xander? I mean.... to where?""You were here when the guard arrived, Kaylan. I have no idea. But to avoid getting into more trouble, I'd suggest we just get ready as instructed. Come on..."She held Kaylan's hand and pulled her towards the closet.*"I'm really not comfortable with this, Jaden. I mean, I need to know why Xander wants me to get dressed in the first place".

Suspense ran through the room Immediately as Xander stared silently at the counsels with a blank expression.The silence stretched and went on for a long time, the counsels were beginning to think they might get punished. But it was necessary."Why should it be of any concern to you?" Xander finally asked and it was of great relief to the men that he finally said something"My Lord" the chief council began. "No disrespect, but you should know getting an heir is as important as ruling this community. And that's the reason we'd gotten a third wife for you. You need an heir, My Lord. And for the fact you haven't been intimate with your new wife is of great concern to us. Is there a problem with her? That's the reason we're here, My Lord, to help with your problems. So, if there is one, you should please, let us know".Silence descended again as it seemed like the chief counsel had spoken the minds of th

She turned to Xander and asked."He's getting ready, princess annd will be here soon. Please, go into the carriage and wait" Axel answered respectfully with a bow and not wanting to create a scene, Kaylan walked into the carriage and took a seat.She didn't know for how long she waited but just when she was getting impatient, Xander finally showed up. She knew so when she heard the guards calling out his name."My Lord".For no reason, Kaylan could feel her heart skip.

Her waist was beginning to hurt already.Peeping from the window, she admired the beauty of the palace which was looking well decorated and arranged, guards and maids moving about with trays and the rest. The place looked really busy, and cheerful.Xander's carriage rode in and parked at a suitable location, and immediately, his guards came around and led him as he walked out of the carriage with Kaylan'.Their heads of the guards were bowed, Axel standing in front of him while another guard stood beside Kaylan and in that manner, they started walking towards the party together."Lord Xander!"

Princess Nivea didn't even realize she was sitting beside Lord Xander's wife. Her mood was so ruined, it didn't occur to her - not at all.Almost immediately, her personal maid arrived, whispered something into her ears before standing behind her.Kaylan, on the other hand, was also silent and kept wondering where Xander could've been. Where did he go to, leaving her all alone over there?Well, why should she even care? She was sure nothing would've changed if he was there.She just continued watching the activities and dance entertainment going on at the party and shortly, she heard the lady beside her sniffle.huh?She turned quickly to have a look and notice she was wiping her face."Are you... crying?" She asked, surprised, and Nivea shook her head."I'm not" she shook her head ruefully without looking at her.

Her face had gone white and pale already, so obvious she was really nothing but a corpse at that moment.He whimpered, a tear dropping from his eye as he got to the bed and lifted her head to rest on his chest."Nivea..." His voice was shaking."I'm so sorry.... I'm so sorry".Yes, he was so sorry because he killed his own sister; he poisoned his own sister.Hot tears gushed down his cheeks; tears filled with pain and regrets. He never wanted to do it.

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.

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
