The King had managed to recruit at least four hundred young men. Alex began training the first fifty. Meanwhile in Aota. Two days had passed, King Stephen took his horse and rode to the Oak river forest early in the morning, before the sun could even rise. He sat on a rock and waited. Carmen finally arrived, she placed her ship carefully outside the water then tied it to a large tree then hid it with old tree branches that had been laying on the ground. She saw a man on a rock and was startled. She stood behind one of the trees and observed him, he looked calm and innocent. Which meant she was not in any danger. Carmen continued to walk. She passed the man with her head held high hoping he would not speak with her. And if the man would ever speak to her, she told herself that she would ignore him. King Stephen observed Carm

Carmen stayed hidden for a week, but one day Nicholas tried to sneak into the King's bedroom as soon as his brother had left with to attend his business. Nicholas had a spare King which he had made without the King's knowledge a long time ago. Carmen heard the turning of the key. She assumed it was the King, therefore she continued to lay on the bed while reading a book. She was startled when another man entered. He resembled the King, but he was much shorter and leaner in body size. Nicholas was just as surprised. "Who are you?" He asked. The King had forgotten something, he went back to the bedroom and saw door wide open. He never worried. He ran inside and found Nicholas standing there in the centre of the bedroom looking at Carmen. "Have you lost something in my bedroom" the King asked, quite irritated by his brother. "No not really, I thought I heard something. Excuse me." Said Nicholas. "Are you alright, did he touch you or do anything you did not like?" "No he didn't,is

The following morning, invitations were sent out to the citizen's of Aota,concerning the royal wedding. Some invitations also went to Kineti as well as Gishon. Some of King Cyrus's wealthy friend's, arrived in Aota. A dress maker arrived at the palace she took Carmen's measurements and adjusted one of the wedding dresses that were already available in her wedding store. The royal cooks made a feast. Four cows were killed, to serves the people. The King also bought a new blazer, white in colour. Carmen was applying make up, when her father entered the bedroom. "My dear Carmen. You seem do happy." Said the King. ."I am happy father. King Stephen has been good to me and very patient.""But is he truly worth it? You never even told me how the both of you met." Carmen chuckled. "I will tell you when I am less stressed about this wedding." She said."Do you think I did wrong?" "Did wrong with what?" "Killing Fiona?" Carmen turned her gaze to her father. "I have never seen you tak

Carmen returned back to Aota. King Stephen was waiting patiently for her arrival. "My lady, you finally arrived. I have been worried." Said the King. "But my King, I told you that I will return right away. You worry needlessly." "Did Alex agree?" "He told me he will tell me. I do not know what has happened between Alex and I. We were best friends once. But know he has been treating me like a stranger. We are not as close as we used to be." Said Carmen"When did you realise that he was treating you strange?" "As soon as I married King Darius. Perhaps he does not want to overstep the boundary. I am a Queen afterall." "Alternatively,he could have feelings for you." Carmen laughed. "That is not possible. We have been friends for too long. I could have noticed something by now." She said. "Perhaps he is hiding his feelings from you." "Then he does good by hiding them if indeed he does have them,which I do not believe even for a second." King Stephen did not want to overthink th

"You seem troubled." Said Shiloh. "Do I not deserve to be a king?" Nicholas asked. "You do my lord." "Then why do I feel like I am living under my brother's shadow?" "But you are, he lives in the palace, while you live here. You will always be under your brother's shadow unless you do something about it." Said Shiloh, biting Nicholas's ear softly. "But if I live there in the palace, I will never have the freedom of making hot love to you on the dining room table." "I would feel better if we made a three some with one of the warriors, what's his name, Gideon." said Shiloh. Nicholas stood up agrily. "You are a whore indeed. How could you want another man when I am here with you!" he shouted. Shiloh was surprised. "My lord, what is wrong. I was not serious." she said. "But you were. I have seen how you look at him sometimes. You really want him inside you. Don't you?" Shiloh kept silent for a while. "You know what get out of my house, you whore!" Nicholas said, grabbing Shil
