“My lord, why not take more soldiers with you?” Lord slog was still tailing the prince along with a whole platoon of soldiers.
The men have been following Alexander the moment he had left the room, hearing that their liege had agreed to go meet lady Kaya the two advisers had been nagging their lord since the moment the priestesses had left with their message.
“This very well could be a trap set up by them, who knows what they might be scheming.” Commander Tycus was beside his liege, trying to at least hold him off for a bit.
Eyes close as he took in a deep breath, Alexander finally stopped. “Enough,” he growls turning his head towards the man.
The commander was immediately lost for words, lowering his head to show his respect for his liege.
“Forgive us, sire,” lord Slog quickly move in front of the commander, bowing his head as he t
Prince Alexander felt like something had erupted inside of him the moment he heard lady Kaya’s sweet gasp for air. It was not taking every ounce of strength within his body just to keep his sanity in check.Was it truly possible that he had finally tamed this wild maiden or was it just for show? Remembering the times that he felt like the woman was just teasing him, sending signs that she was subservient at one time but then would immediately return to her rebellious attitude.The way the lady would change her persona from strong to timid just drove him mad, increasing his need to dominate her even more. Not once has there been a woman in his life who was so complicated and untamable, that it just increased his wanting to make subdue the lady, making her servile to him.“Does this mean you’ve changed your mind again?” He asks, sensing that the return of the woman’s courage and rebelliousness
“My prince,” lord Slog greeted, bowing as his liege had approached.It did not surprise prince Alexander when he saw the old man was waiting for him just a few meters away from the mansion. Along with him were several of the royal guards that were supposed to go with him a while ago.“Did I not make myself clear,” He says with pure boredom the moment they came closer.The whole platoon was all geared up and was well equipped as if all of them were getting ready for battle.“Sire, as you have expected, they are finally here,” lord Slog bowed down signaling some of the soldiers to surround their liege.“Oh, and you’re sure about this?” Prince Alexander frowned, surprised upon hearing of this.“The guards have seen some suspicious shadows lurking around the palace a while ago, we’ve come to make s
Karilaya could not understand her body right now, she was shivering but at the same time she felt so hot and as if something was squirming inside of her. She was gasping for air when she knelt down on the floor after the prince had finally left.The unusual heat inside Karilaya’s body would not subside, making the princes hug it to stop herself from squirming. The prince’s hot wet tongue on her skin, the rough edges of his palms, the tight grab of his hands, and arms all over her body. It was so clear in her mind that she could still feel it, and that kiss, that moment of having his lips on her just made everything even harder to forget.She didn’t think that such a feeling was possible, though her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her during that time, it still kept on pumping like crazy each time the prince would let his hands travel all over her. It felt like small little legs kept crawling inside of her, tickl
Loud and earth-shaking thunder returned Karilaya to her senses, she could feel a bit of the pinching coldness on her skin but there was still part of her that seemed to be in a tender, warm and soft touch.Though her vision was blurry upon opening her eyes, it did not escape her that there were very large and strong arms wrapped around her at that moment, keeping her warm, protecting her, and also making sure that she stayed in place as she wasn’t able to move much when she tried.“You seem to be awake, my lady,” The captain had this mischievous wide grin on his face feeling the sudden movement of the woman in his arms.There was a slight shiver from Karilaya as she wasn’t expecting to be noticed like that. Blood quickly rushed through her face as she could feel his hot, warm breath rubbing on her ears. Instantly she was aware of how the man was carrying her right now.The man
Karilaya still could not look at the captain who was walking beside her. She made sure to keep her eyes looking straight in front as she was still having glimpses of thoughts about what had happened between them inside the cave.Somehow the sun was shining so they were able to venture out into the forest in search of food besides trying to find out where they were.“I am quite surprised you are able to walk with this dense level of magic, my lady,” the captain finally broke the silence, giving out a playful chuckle.“I am of Aselaysian descent and also a magic user, captain. Though the weather here changes every few hours, I can say this kind of environment is the same test that we have to undergo to become magical advisers,” she says with a soft but clear tone, wanting to show her proper composure even though she was trembling inside.She didn’t want to stay within the cave nor did she
The wind was rampaging outside, it gave a foreboding whistle to whoever would dare to go outside like death, taunting them. There was not an inch of water but the gale outside was able to make hollowed tree trunks flew by like they weighed nothing. Tornadoes could be seen reaching the skies, connecting the earth to it.Karilaya swallowed hard as she watched from inside the cave, the inner earth was deep enough to protect them and the hill that they were in had huge stone formations that seem to keep everything in place, making it seem like a fortress from the wildness of the outside.She looked at the flames that were starting to die out, eating away at the last piece of wood that she salvaged a while ago as it managed to get thrown inside the cave.Clasping onto the captains' cape she could not help but keep his eyes on the entrance of the cave, biting her lips when every now and then the biting coldness would sweep inside the place, causing her whole
There was this amazing mouth-watering waft that cause Maxwell's senses, his eyes immediately opened catching the scent of a very meaty yet earthy taste within the air. His eyes quickly looked around seeing the sudden brightness within the whole place, making him jolt up. Without so much as flinching his hands were already grabbing hold of his sword as he stood up, grabbing on the hilt of it he was ready to unsheathe it when he stood up, yet immediately stopped when he noticed that he was still in the cave.His forehead wrinkled when he finally saw the sudden changes within the place, he was now thinking if he had been sent to another place or was it some kind of illusion to make the place look good.The cave didn’t look like a cave anymore, it resembled more an area within a commoner’s home. There were furnishing within the wall and in the middle of the place, such as tables and counters, the floor was no longer earthy and swerving.
The whirlwinds that were devastating the land were now replaced by what seemed like a depiction of the underworld, having a red ashen mist surrounding the whole place, nothing could be seen as it covered everything.Karilaya had created a barrier that blocked the whole thing from entering the cave. Though there was nothing that could be seen outside, she still remained in the opening of the den looking afar as she didn’t really feel like staying beside the captain.There was this pang inside her chest that kept nagging at her for not telling the man the reason for it all at the same time there was also a part of her that kept scolding her for the mistake and telling her that the man was only looking out for her.Though she had managed to smile a while ago she could still feel something wrong within the man, having remained quiet for the duration of their whole dinner.“My lady?” The captain’s
As Karilaya proved she could handle basic politics and affairs of the land, she gained the head advisers, along with the magical council’s favor, being dubbed as the true empress of the Draconian Empire.And they state it in the imperial rule. She took over all of Alexander’s duties, allowing the man to focus on raising their sons.The man taught the boys everything he knew, from combat, control their forms, and learning the ways of their kind.A year more had passed, and they were finally ready to proceed with her coronation.Having healed from all of their wounds, Karilaya finally agreed to marry the emperor, which puts them in their current situation.With the land no longer tormented by the changing weather, the people at peace, and the kingdom once again flourishing. It was now time to go to the western lands to have her crowned and legitimatized as the sole wife of t
The people felt a bit more at ease with the empire; they no longer had any qualms, especially after everybody found out that their princess was now the empress and would still be the one to rule them.She lowered the taxes enough for all of them to get by, not just for their area but also for the entire western continent that was under them, so that it wouldn’t cause too much strain on everyone.Trading between the west and their lands went on smoothly, allowing more products to come back and forth.“Good morning your majesty!”People greeted as they walk pass by them. Karilaya waved at them in reply. She and the others were currently viewing the restoration of the old kingdoms’ fields.After they had cleared the trees, the earth was now being plowed to prepare it for farming. Everyone was helping, including a few of th
Having control over all the things in the kingdom, it didn’t take long before Karilaya had finally turned matters around.Repairs on the capital were going smoothly. All the previous actions she wanted to be done, like the re-aligning of the seals within the entire city, were no longer an issue, since fear of using her magic did not restrain her.It was the reason she now felt it was the right time to proceed with restoring their lands to how it was.“Your majesty, are you sure it will be safe to remove the coven from their bonds this instant?” the old adviser asks.The man was with her, together with her own guards, since she sent the others to handle things around the kingdom for this momentous day.“Yes, mistress Moryana and the headmaster are already in place. I stationed Kirei and everyone else in each village outside to make su
In just two days, that was all it took for the combined might of the imperial army and Aselaysian soldiers to rally up every single person who Soraya has pointed out to be instigating a rebellion into their hands.Facing them now was lord Sander Lee. Face broken, bloody, and full of tears. The man was groveling in front of Karilaya, who was on the throne beside the Draconian emperor.She moves to her side in order to get closer to the Alexander. “Did you beat them to death?” she whispers to him.Seeing how beaten and wounded the old lords were, she could not help but feel a bit of remorse for letting the man handle things.“No,” he shrugs.“Then why do they look like that?” she points out.Lord Sander Lee’s face was so inflated that he was unrecognizable, while some could no longer keep themselv
“Why do you doubt him?” It was the childish little voice that whispered in her mind.She was currently contemplating with the Horomid all the while looking out into the palace’s terrace. She wanted to get at least an insight from her guardian spirits about what to do, knowing that somehow they may clear her thoughts.“Because he has lied to me before. And I am afraid that all of this is but another farce,” she says.Feeling that ache inside her chest, still fearing that the man might betray her again.“Did you also not deceive him?” the sweet female voice whispered.Karilaya could not help but grumble. “I did that to protect myself.”“What makes your mistake more forgivable than his? A lie is a lie no matter how you make it,” the annoying spirit mocked, letting out a laugh after.
After finally having time for themselves, all Alexander would do was to cuddle and hug her. The man clung to her the moment they got returned to their room. Cooing and giving her kisses on the neck.“Your Majesty, you need to rest,” she scolds. Feeling his hands wandering all over her body.They were already in bed, getting ready to sleep after tucking the boys into their rooms. Her back was facing him, so he was spooning her while they laid on there.“I have plenty of strength reserved just for you,” Alexander cooed in her ears.She felt herself shiver, sensing that ticklish jolt inside of her. His hands were already touching those sensual areas of her. Playfully rubbing his fingers on her skin.“Alex!” she hissed, slapping off his hand, feeling him pinching some of her sensitive parts.“Come on, Kaya. I promise I wo
They caught Lord Drake by surprise upon their arrival. Making his uncle gape in disbelief at seeing her lady with him at that moment. He kept looking at him with questioning looks, asking for why he’d let the woman be there.“Your majesty, I do not think this is safe,” He says.Alexander almost laughed, cause he knew that his beloved was very much capable of handling herself in there, having removed her restraints and all.“Uncle, have you not met her yet? Or have you forgotten the mother of my children?” He smirks at the man, trying to give him the idea of who he was with.But before lord Drake could even recognize his lady, Kaya had already done a curtsy in front of him.“It’s a pleasure to meet you, lord Galford Drake. I have to commend that your men are quite the formidable opponents on the battlefield that even I wasn’t able to
Tired, wounded, and starving, Alexander still kept watch over his sons. He could tell by their breathing that all of them were still awake. Resting, planning, and waiting for the right time to strike.“Your majesty, it would be best if you take this time to rest up.” Lord Drake says.His uncle had finished tying up Giro. After he had broken free a while ago. It’s the second time within the day which was making him frustrated. He never thought it would be that hard to keep the boys in check with his power, but seeing as he couldn’t go all out on his children for fear of harming them just made it more difficult.“I’m good, uncle.”He took that time to take a rest, sitting on the floor in front of the boy’s cell. Munching on the bread that the servants brought a while ago.Though he wanted to eat meat, the smell of it always ended up w
Soraya kept her senses sharp. Looking around, all the while keeping her gaze on the knights who stood guarding them. She could not understand why they were suddenly being taken care of like that.They healed their wounds, gave back their weapons and armor. They even fed them to where they were all satisfied.They also mixed the captive villagers with their soldiers, making them look like a bunch of cattle being herded inside the outer castle.She knew that all of it had to have a reason and it was not just for show nor for their so-called friendly gesture. She’d hardly consider them having any, experiencing how cruel and barbaric they were.There was something behind of it all which she could not put her foot on it.It alerted Soraya seeing the soldiers move in a straight line, posing at the ready when they saw a line of well-dressed people coming their way.
