Lord Xander stood unflinched, with the sword dripping with blood in his hand.
And in a husky voice, he said;
"You have 15 seconds to provide my wife or more heads will roll".
Surprise filled the faces of everyone present as they didn't expect such act from Xander. They were talking about the death of an important person and he just caused the death of another??
Silence took over for the next few minutes, but not until Berlin got really angry.
"How dare you?!!" He roared and tried going at him, but Prince Noah was quick enough to hold him.
He knew Xander wouldn't hesitate to chop off his head as well and he didn't want that to happen.
And nobody could attack him because they knew at that moment, he could kill everyone of them in the room and walk out like nothing ever happened.
"Guards!" The King suddenly called and two guards scurried from t
The rest of the ride home was quiet - as usual - and Kaylan used that moment to reminisce on what had happened a while ago.It was still coming as a shock to her, knowing Princess Nivea was dead, and she actually died in her place. What could've happened if she had taken the drink instead of her?Suddenly, her last words replayed in her head:"Avoid getting pregnant for Lord Xander".The words rang in her head like a bell. What does she mean by that?? How does getting pregnant have to do with the death of Xander's previous wives? She really couldn't understand it.Good saviors! So many unanswered questions in her head; so many pondering.**After a longer while, they finally arrived at the mansion and Xander was the first to step out as he looked rather impatientHe was impatient, but of course, it was never going to be obvious on his facial
Prince Berlin stood in the room, his heard tearing apart as he watched his mother crying over the death of Nivea.His father was there as well, unable to console her as he was also in a sober state. And his younger brother - Prince Feliz - and younger sister - Princess Olivia -were also present in the room."Who could've done this to me?" The Queen wept bitterly."What have I done to deserve this cruelty from the world? Two daughter - two daughters have I lost within the blink of an eye. Do I really deserve this??""The Kingdom of Sambona should be held responsible for this" The King suddenly snapped. "I gave my daughter to them as a wife and this is what I get in return? Losing her to some unexplained poison? No! I'm never letting this issue go down the drain. Never"."The fault isn't from the Sambona Kingdom, father" Prince Berlin replied."We all know who the enemy is already"
Kaylan and Jaden were both lying on a bed, staring up at the ceiling as they are some apples while talking about Kaylan's horrible experience at the festival."So .. you mean, you'd have been the one dead if Nivea hadn't taken the drink in your place?" Jaden asked, still finding the whole thing amusing.The entire story was nearly too hard to believe."Seriously, Jaden. I'm still in shock. I mean, that drink was for me. Yet,take a look at what happened. Honestly, I felt so terrible for her. She was such a nice person". Kaylan stated bleakly, reminiscing on how nice Princess Nivea had really been."I'm actually thinking...one of Xander's enemies is behind this, you know? Else, why would anyone try to kill you? This is the first time an attempt is being made on your life, right?" Jaden asked."That's correct. But in the first place, why would anyone want to kill me? I might be
"No matter what, it shouldn't come to this! He shouldn't think of this!"King Moreh paced around angrily. Thinking Lord Xander could even attempt such a thing is so alarming to him already.They were having some communal disputes that needed one to bow, and Xander decided to act tricky by using Kaylan as a bait against him. How dare he??The members of the cabinet were all staring keenly, each wondering what the King's decision could possibly be."Your Highness" one of the members suddenly called after a while, his Head bowed but his beady eyes stealing glances at the King who was still pacing around."Signing this petition will be of great defeat to us. It'd only signify weakness, not to mention the disadvantages that would come along with it"."But the Princess' life is at stake as well" someone else said."We all
"My Lord" he bowed."Sorry for disturbing, but Princess Kaylan is getting impatient already. She's requesting to see you and threatens to put up a fight if her request is not granted".Xander was quiet for a while, giving a thought to what the guard had said. Well, he had known this would happen, trying to limit her from leaving the house - he'd known she'd grow suspicious and angry.He exhaled lightly, unveiled the second plate of his meal and turned to the guard."I'll be there" he stated in his deep baritone tone and the guard bowed with gratitude."Thank you, My Lord" he said and left.*****************"I don't think it was a good idea being so rude to the guard, Kaylan" Jaden said in the room."To me, I think you should've just stated your request humbly. I mean, what if Lord Xander gets mad at you for being r
As Xander stepped out of Kaylan's room, he felt cold waves blowing all around him.His hands ere still resting at his back and getting to where the guards were, right in front of her door, he stopped walking.The guards stood at alert, thinking he actually wanted to pass an order to them or something. But after standing for such a long time, all he did was walk away - without uttering a word.*Jaden had been standing and watching from a distance and as soon as she saw Xander leave the room, her heart couldn't help but panic. What could've happened in there?! He wasn't looking good at all.She saw him walking away and without any hesitation,ran towards the room immediately. Luckily, the guars let her pass and getting to the room, she found Kaylan sitting on the bed, looking so dumb with traces of tears on her face."Hey!" She called in a whisper, scuttling towards her.
The two ladies were in deep shock as soon as the guard delivered the message and left.Whaaat?? Her restriction has been lifted already?? So soon? What happened??Kaylan turned to look at Jaden who was already staring at her."Hey; what do you think happened? Do you think your father has given into his demands?" Jaden asked curiously."Of course, not" Kaylan answered sharply."I know my father, Jaden. That man doesn't care about me one bit. He's never going to make even the tiniest sacrifice for me. Never". She huffed and stood up to go face the window."So....do you think Xander had a change of heard on his own?" Jaden asked as she stood up as well and went closer to her."Do you think.... your words somehow... made him have a change of heart?""I don't know. Is that even possible? Does someone like Xander still have a h
Kaylan blinked rapidly as soon as Lord Xander walked away.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.
