As we approached the magnificent gates of King Edward’s city, a palpable sense of anticipation coursed through my veins. Disguised as royalty, we knew that our success hinged upon the effectiveness of our charade. The guards stationed at the gate, their armor glinting in the sunlight, stood as formidable sentinels, ready to scrutinize anyone seeking entry.The lead guard stepped forward, his gaze assessing our presence. “State your identities and purpose of visit,” he commanded with a stern tone.Drawing upon all my confidence and diplomacy, I responded, “I am Cain, the honorable Lord of House Azarath, and this is Agnes, the esteemed and illustrious ruler of Qarth, the city of Gold.”The guards exchanged intrigued glances, their initial skepticism giving way to a growing curiosity. The mention of Qarth, a legendary city renowned for its opulence and wealth, seemed to pique their interest.“Ruler of Qarth, you say?” the lead guard queried, his voice tinged with awe.“Yes,” Agnes replie

Eager to ensure our safety and ascertain the guard’s true intentions, I hurriedly approached the door, my heart pounding with a mix of caution and curiosity.“Who goes there?” I inquired, my voice laced with a tinge of urgency. “State your purpose and identity.”The guard, clad in a resplendent uniform adorned with the royal crest, straightened his posture and offered a respectful nod. “I apologize for the intrusion, sir. I have been sent by King Edward himself. He requests the pleasure of an audience with you and Lady Agnes.”A flicker of surprise crossed my face as I exchanged a brief glance with Agnes, who stood nearby. The request for an audience from the king was unexpected, but it also presented an opportunity to gauge his intentions and potentially gather valuable information.“Please, give us a moment,” I replied, my voice calm yet tinged with curiosity. “We will be ready to join K

A flicker of recognition passed through his eyes, an acknowledgment of my noble lineage.King Edward’s gaze shifted toward Agnes as I continued, my words infused with a touch of pride. “And this, Your Majesty, is Agnes, the queen of Qarth, She possesses not only beauty that rivals the stars themselves but also a spirit as fierce as the most untamed wildfire.”A smile crept across King Edward’s face as he cast his gaze upon Agnes. “Indeed, Cain, her beauty is quite remarkable,” he remarked, his voice filled with admiration. “Agnes, your radiance lights up this court, and your presence graces this royal hall. You bring a breath of freshness and vitality to our realm.”Agnes, her cheeks flushed with a mixture of modesty and gratitude, curtsied gracefully before the king. “Thank you, Your

As we made our way back to our chambers, the fading sunlight casting a warm glow upon the surroundings, a cloud of unease settled over me. I couldn't shake the odd feeling that lingered within me regarding Vaemond, King Edward's charming son. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but there was something about him that felt off, as if his friendly demeanor concealed ulterior motives.With a furrowed brow, I turned to Agnes, my voice tinged with concern. "Agnes, I can't help but have this nagging feeling about Vaemond. It's as if there's more to him than meets the eye. I can't fully trust him."Agnes paused for a moment, her eyes searching mine, before reaching out to gently place her hand on mine. "Cain, I understand your apprehension, but I truly believe Vaemond is just trying to be nice. He's the prince, after all, and it's only natural for him to extend courtesy and charm. Let's not jump to conclusions."Her words resonated within me, and I could see the sincerity in her eyes. Agnes

Agnes and I strolled to the field where we saw Vaemond sparring with three huge soldiers who were almost twice his size. We watched as he disarmed them in seconds and knocked them out with deadly and swift blows. It was a display of incredible skill and prowess.As Vaemond knocked down the third man, he turned his gaze towards Agnes and said with a sly smile, "Don't you think your bet is safer with me than that overgrown champion of yours?"My blood boiled at his audacious remark. I clenched my fists, ready to engage in a fight and defend Agnes's honor. But Agnes quickly intervened, gripping my hand tightly and shaking her head in disapproval.The Queen of Persia chuckled mischievously and proposed to Prince Vaemond, “I bet you five bars of gold that you won’t be able to knock out our brave champion, Cain.”Vaemond’s eyes lit up with amusement as he looked at me. “Ah, Cain, it seems I have another challenger,” he remarked, a hint of challenge in his voice. “But I don’t need gold as mo

Their tattered and filthy appearance matched their wicked intentions as they advanced towards her with a knife, their intentions clear. However, Freya’s response was anything but fear or submission. A mischievous smile played upon her lips as her eyes transformed into an eerie shade of white, devoid of pupils. The air around her seemed to grow heavy and oppressive, a tangible sense of malevolence emanating from her very being.With a subtle gesture, Freya unleashed her supernatural power. The bandits, taken aback by the sudden change in their surroundings, found themselves struggling to breathe. Their chests tightened, their lungs constricting as if gripped by an invisible force. Panic filled their eyes as they desperately gasped for air, their faces contorting with agony.But that was only the beginning of their torment. Blood trickled from their eyes, nose, and ea

With a graceful wave of her hand, she granted permission for the person to enter.The guard, his armor gleaming under the soft light, stepped forward and bowed respectfully before Agnes. His voice held a hint of formality as he delivered his message.“My Lady, I apologize for the intrusion,” he began, his voice measured and respectful. “I have been sent to inform you that you and your champion’s presence is requested at the Infirmary.”Agnes’s eyes widened, concern etching lines on her forehead. “The Infirmary?

As the echoes of our laughter faded, Agnes turned to me with a knowing smile. She placed a gentle hand on my arm, her eyes filled with a mix of concern and determination.“Cain, I know you’re skilled and powerful, but you must always keep your head in the game,” she advised, her voice carrying a note of caution. “These opponents we’ll be facing, they won’t play fair. They’ll try to get under your skin, use mind games to throw you off balance.”I nodded, understanding the gravity of her words. “You’re right, Agnes. I need to stay focused and keep my emotions in check. Losing my composure could cost me dearly.”Agnes squeezed my arm, her touch comforting. “Exactly. Remember, you’re not just fighting for yourself out there. You’re fighting for us, for our future together. So, be strategic, be calm, and let your skill and power speak for themselves.”I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her words settling upon my shoulders. “I promise you, Agnes, I’ll be careful. I won’t let anythi
