I let out a grunt as I pushed Victor off of me.I glanced back at the front door and saw that Sir Dominic was already dragging Dorian inside, probably back to his cell.Victor had tacked me out of the way just in time but it seems the arrow had grazed his left leg, a few inches below his knee. Dorian was never a good shot, thank goodness for that."You okay?" I asked as I pulled Victor to his feet."Yeah." He replied as he shook his left leg. "He barely got me."I picked up my sword and wrapped both of my hands around it. Victor did the same before we turned around and pressed our backs to each others."I've finally payed my dues. Don't expect anything else form me." Victor commented as we assessed the attackers."You never owned me a thing, Brother." I replied before we pealed our backs off of each other and kept on attacking the intruders.It took an entire hour or so for them to finally surrender.Most of them had died but some were alive and I planed to have them executed along si
I stepped in to our chambers before I softly closed the door behind me.The chambers was no quite, quitter then it was before I'd left to beat the truth out of Dorian. Mirra was sitting by the chair next to the bed with Sir Hunder standing behind her, his hands gently squeezing her shoulders. Other than the two, no one else was here.Sir Shadow was standing outside of the chambers, guiding it with his life but Lord Kiza and Uncle Jeremy were no where to be seen.I dreaded a glance at the bed. But I still looked.My wife and younger brother laid side by side. Frost was under the covers while Victor was over them.The cloth Lord Kiza had tied above Victor's knee was still in place, trying to prevent the poison from spreading up his body until Kiza knows how to treat him.Telling Sity that Victor was hit on the chest with the poisoned arrow had been a pleasure. Not because I wished ill to my brother but because I knew it will be the very start to breaking Sity.As I walked closer to the
I sat on my throne, my eyes looking in to the distant and my ears deaf to Uncle Hero's voice."Your grace?" Uncle Hero called out, I don't know how many times, but I finally woke up from my daze.I looked over to Uncle Hero before I looked at the people. That's when I realized that a case owner was standing infront of me, her hands clasped together at her stomach, cradling her swollen belly.I cursed myself out internally before I glanced at Uncle Hero again."Repeat the description." I ordered and tried to focus on his words instead of the image flashing in my head.The image of Frost and Victor laying on the bed, unmoved since the night of the attack.The very fact that Victor wasn't able to make it to his seat as first brother of the King upsets me.And then there's the white throne which the black smith had informed me that it will be placed beside my own tonight.I listened to the case description and gave out the sentence. Uncle Hero was good at calling cases out. He was patien
I sat on the long seat at the edge of the bed, my back turned to Frost and Victor, who were back to sleep after they were given the sleeping herbs.Lord Kiza walked out of the bathroom, drying his hands with a cloth.He'd taken a look at Victor's leg and he applied some herbs he said might help. Because we didn't know what the poison was made out of, Kiza couldn't know how to treat it.But one thing he's sure about is that the poison is taking its time. He assumed that it might take a long time for the poison to get to other pasts of Victor's body but each passing minute will be painful for him.The tip of Victor's left toe's are getting blue and Lord Kiza said that his left leg was dying.What a messed up thing to hear?"I'll look more in to it, Your grace. But now, I must take my leave." Lord Kiza commented before he bowed his head down to his waist and left.I stayed seated for a few minutes before I dared to look over my left shoulder.They were in pain. It felt like everytime they
Dinner with the royals of the Water Kingdom was nice. They had paid notice to the empty seat of my Wife and brother but none made a comment.They were very open people. The women didn't shy away from any conversation and the men didn't shut them up either.There was no tension between them. Even though any one of Prince Edon's brother's might try to take the throne from him, he didn't look at them as of they were threats.They truly looked like a untied family and that did make me feel envious. Because I realized too late how important family is.My cousin Jeremaya even promised to show the water Kingdom royals around the markets, inns and most importantly, the mines.It surprised me. He'd always been a resided kid but now thag Uncle Hero is training him to have a seat at the council table, he was being more present and more vocal in conversations.I still don't know which seat to give him.Uncle Hero might try to retire so his only son can have his seat but I can't let him retire yet
Frost Sorrow...I dreaded waking up again but my body forced me to.No matter how long I closed my eyes, it wouldn't stop the pain from blinding me even more.Stifling a groan, I slowly pealed my eyes open and I looked up at the ceiling."You're up?" Victor whispered from beside me and I turned my head to look at him."Yeah. You?""Lord Kiza was here to change my bandage he left a few seconds ago after giving me the sleeping herbs." He whispered and he looked back at me. "It's king of weird that this is the first time were talking to each other even though we've been sleeping together for the past week." I chuckled at his commented."How are you feeling?" He asked."I'm fine." I replied with a soft sigh. "What about you? You don't look good."Victor was pale and his hair was sticking to his forehead because of the sweat. "You should look at yourself." Victor commented with a chuckle.A small smile crawled on my lips but I quickly stopped it when it felt the red spots on my
Barlion Great...I had my arm wrapped around Frost's waist as I looked down at the head stone of Uncle Jeremy grave.'Lord Jeremy Great. A Brother, An Uncle, A Friend and A True Protector.' That was what's written on the head stone.I read it over and over again.The head stone was made from a large green gem, one found only in our Kingdom.The green gem glows a different shade of color at the contrast of the son, each angel changing color.Our black smith had carved the words in perfect shape and hade covered each letter with black paint so it would be easier to read.The rest of the royals had left a whole ago and I could feel Frost leaning on me. She was tired but she didn't say anything just so I would spend more time with Uncle Jeremy.I let out a sigh before I turned to Frost. She looked up at me with her frost blue eyes, her gaze sad and her eyes bloodshot. Those tears would have burned the spots on her skin.After I pressed a kiss against her forehead, I leaned d
The chambers fell in silence.I watched as Lord King and Lady Winter shared a look.I looked over to Frost and realized that her eyes were following me with worry. Letting out a sigh, I looked back at Lord King."I want to talk to my wife alone first." I commented when I realized that I couldn't be selfish enough to keep her from going with them.Lord King didn't look like he was going to let me have a second with her but then he dropped his eyes to Frost and they softened."We'll need to stock up for the journey. It will take a while to get there so we need to take everything." Lord King commented as he looked back at me.I glanced at Sir Hunder and nodded my head. I had no other words. If They are really going to take my wife then they will have everything they need and more for the journey. Sir Hunder bowed his head before he walked out of the chambers. Lord King and Lady Winter followed after him. Mirra was the last to leave Frost and I alone in our chambers.As soon as the door
