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.
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
