Chapter 160Xavier's POV"You've got to be careful with that woman, she might be funny at times and when she gets serious there's no going back." Noah warned as he continued treating a patient that was directly staring at me."I hate it that we have them to rule over us when they're supposed to be scraping off what we give to them. They're not the rightful ones to sit on that throne and they know it" The Man uttered as he held his leg, he was injured, it felt like he had a fight with someone who held a weapon in his hands. "What do you mean?" I was getting confused by his words, wondering what he was implying. "What she meant is that Eliot doesn't deserve to sit upon that throne. His father took it by force" Noah explained. "How do you know that?" I knew that in every kingdom there would be people who hated the Royal family and wouldn't hesitate to take over if the means are provided. "Would you compare the words of someone who's been here since his inception, to what they tell yo
Chapter 161Irene's POVEmily's sudden absence to the words I said to her somehow baffled me and I couldn't do anything to stop her and avoided Damien suspecting my sudden interest in Emily's walking out of the water.I pulled her back into the water, catching hold of her before she fell into the water, I knew she would definitely be scared that I could still catch her despite the fact that I was the one that pulled her and orchestrated her fall."You're quite heavy, eating whatever you see tends to make millions of calories in your body" I uttered as I helped her back to her feet. "How did you do it?" Emily stuttered staring into my eyes with disbelief which was a bit confusing to me. "Do what exactly?" I inquired as we sat together in the water, pretending to be playing with the water. "I didn't do anything sister, I just did what I had to do knowing that you would definitely fall off and hit your head on the little stones, so I had to save you" I explained, wondering why everyon
Chapter 162Xavier's POVHaving to eat outside because of ignoring the moment of specification that Noah refused to dwell in. I was glad that I had quenched my hunger with the meal I just had at the restaurant."It seems I'm here on time" Eliot uttered as he walked into the house wearing a thick smile on his face."I guess you're ready for the hunting?" He added, staring at the look on his face I knew he was already packed up."Yeah I'm ready but what are we hunting?" I asked wondering what he was so eager to hunt. "You'll see when you're there" He stuttered."Seemingly I don't like embarking what I'm not fully aware of" I retorted. "Well practically I just want an alone time with my friends" He confessed, wearing a cynical smile on his face, I wondered what he had in mind, risking his life out in the dark forest just to have fun with his friends."Then why do you need my help?" I asked wondering why he wanted me coming along with him to the hunt, not knowing my purpose of walking
Chapter 163Irene's POVI dived into the pool forgetting about the whole incident and basically about Emily's intimacy with Damien."Why do you feel so odd? It seems you don't want to be here, it feels like you saw something you shouldn't have" Emily always knew the best way to shuffle my thoughts. "I didn't see anyone, I'm just not in the mood to swim again, I just want to go back home, and think about Xavier" I stuttered as I stepped back into the water. "Xavier's safe, and""How do you know he's safe, he hasn't called or sent an envelope or a letter to me, it seems you're hiding something from me" I chimed in, getting tired of Xavier's presence, I'm not even sure if he's still alive, wondering where he would be or what he would be going through in the forest all by himself."What do you mean?" Emily uttered as she stared at me, wondering if I knew what I was doing, I guess she must have filled her head with the thoughts that I was drunk, having five bottles of beer isn't enough t
Chapter 164Xavier's POVI disliked the fact that I was had made myself accept to go on a journey with four little children who basically don't know how to co exist and at the same time are vulnerable to dangers in the forest. Eliot had been pretending to be a good boy all this while to me in order for him to learn my skills to be able to defeat his brother and take the throne.I couldn't understand why his mother disliked him despite the fact that he was the right person to sit upon the throne. I slightly guessed that it was his attitude that attracted the hate of his parents and the fact that they hate makes them afraid of letting him have the throne, as a young prince, he lacks the understanding to know this.I just hope I would be able to change Eliot before leaving this forest."What's going on?" Fiona walked up to me, she definitely pulled me out of my thoughts. "Are we going into the forest?" Jake inquired as he stares at his brother and shifted his gaze to me. "Yeah, we're
Chapter 165Irene's POV"What do you mean by another attack?" I inquired, wondering if he was serious or joking about it. "The Fort has been attacked and the problem is that we don't know who's behind the attacks" Damien announced and with the look on his face, I knew that he meant his words. At this point I knew that we wouldn't be attacking them, we would let them see that there's no competition through these lands and with that we would be able to shift their eyes off our lands. "Did you say the borders?" Emily interrupted, I was infuriated wondering what Emily knew about wars, she hasn't been in a real one, and basically only watched it on her phone or probably on a tv. "Yeah the Borders;" Damien divulged as confused as I was, we both were waiting for her response as she was lost in thoughts. "Why are you asking?" I inquired, eager to listen to what she had to say. She may have a solution on how to deal with our enemies. "Well I came across a letter this morning that said man
Chapter 166Xavier's POV"Finally back in my land" I uttered as I walked into my mansion, surprised a bit to see that my pictures removed from the wall, replaced with Damien's pictures. "It feels so good to be home" I uttered as I saw Damien sitting on the throne, which was a bit appealing to me, staring at Allyson who sat comfortably on the seat meant for Irene."Are you sure this is your home?" Damien retorted as he filled his mouth with strawberries. "What do you mean?" I uttered, wondering what Damien was trying to say."He's speaking of the attacks on the land" I muttered to myself as I waited for Damien's welcoming words. "I'm taking over, this has always been my opportunity, knowing that your ould be fine for long, which would be the Ultimate opportunity to carry out my harmless plans with ease" Damien sighed, staring at the look on Allyson, I knew thai had been going on for a long time. "You speak in parables, what's this supposed to mean?" I uttered, asking for more clari
Chapter 167Irene's POV"You all should sit back and wait, Daphne's coming""How do you know Daphne?""I don't, I just saw a lady wearing a long black cape with a bow and an arrow in her hands. She's targeted you already, lie down" She exclaimed as we all quickly laid down on the ground as the arrow, met the maids that were standing in the courtyard."We have to find a way out of here, and the best way out of this is to get into the house" Allyson uttered as she stared at us, I was scared knowing how it felt to be shot by an arrow. I could still feel the wounds it made on my body. "She's right we would be safer behind walls and not trees"Emily conceded, she just wanted to find a way to make it out of this scenario without getting shot by an arrow. "How do we possibly get into the house without getting shot?" I asked. "You all go, I'll cover you," She uttered as she beckoned us to get up, I took to my heels as I realized that these arrows had increased, staring back at where Allyso
