The premises grew grasses, what surrounded the palace were bushes and thick sharp thorns.Just as Verin stood gracefully on the walls a voice echoed, so authoritatively in the premises."I know you would come brother" Rayman said."Stepbrother" Verin hissed as he corrected."But we're of the same Father" Rayman smirked as he surveyed Verin.He was sitting on a majestically decorated throne, just at the corridor of the courtroom that faced the grassy premises.The palace was awfully quiet and looked deserted."He is not my father!"

She wanted to stand up to get it but Verin stopped her. "Come inside" he uttered loudly.A maid came in with a food trolley, bowed at Verin and went straight to the table.She settle all the dishes on the table and bowed at Verin with her hands in front of her when she was done.

Kera went out of her room, wearing a black veil over her head."If I'm being asked of, tell them I want privacy, including the Verin" she told the guard that stood at the door after chasing the gossiping people.The guard bowed and she walks out.Kera snuck out of the palace like a thief in the night, trying not to be discovered.She headed towards the stable and grabbed her horse and with that, she rode away from the palace.

"Why did you kill my husband?" Nayla asked him, her voice more like a whisper.Her voice gentle and soft. She didn't look hateful like the first time she knew him.That time, she was still consumed by her anger, her sorrows and pain of loosing her husband whom she just got married to.She had thought that life with Nedan would turn out better only to be widowed by this man.Who wouldn't get angry?Who wouldn't be vengeful?But now, she was calmer and even more tranquil. She was ready to know Verin, know his reason for killing her husband.And she was calm because she went aback to when Nedan was killed.

But she realized he didn't. So he really wasn't heartless, there was something more to the picture that the surface.Verin didn't know what to say and just stood up. He stared at her again then averted h
