All Chapters of FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god): Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Trust our dearest princess never to avoid showing a reaction. She turned around to cast a defiant look at the lady who also stood her ground and glared at her. Arawa was infuriated and would have said something but her stomach growled. That should have been embarrassing but Melissa, her lucky charm, had spoken just then. "Back off Ollie," she said to the lady who took a step closer to them glaring at them with intimidation. “Or what? " Ollie, so that was her name. At least, now when she thinks of the angry thing, she might as well as attach a name to it. She noted however that no one seemed to be talking to her, not even the old lady, Booma. There must be something boosting her morale so much as to the extent of having no atom of fear or respect. Regardless, she would not be intimidated nor give Ollie or whatsoever be her name, a chance to humiliate her. Not in this life. Respite her hunger, Arawa came to stand in front of Melissa thereby obstructing her view from the now shaking g

Things just went downright awkward. Arawa hoped that he would just leave. She wished she had not suddenly turned around but then, she felt a gush of anger within her . What on earth was she doing getting all girly and pink simply because he was looking at her. She obviously was making it seem like he could control what she felt and that was about to stop. She replaced the blushing look on her face with a serious frown and turned to look at Booma. The old lady was directing her on what they would be doing and how they would be going about it. Arawa could bet on the fact that her sudden change of mood might have shocked him to the bone marrow. Good for him. He did not deserve her weakness, he was nothing but a barbarian. She paid attention and began doing her assigned duties which basically was sweeping. It had not been easy getting used to the broom which was a long stick with what seemed like reeds attached to the base. Booma had nearly given up trying to teach her out of frustration

This woman was strange, how could she know about Wuwa if she was not from there . Arawa now faced her directly waiting for an answer but she said nothing more. Instead she grabbed her broomstick and continued what she was doing. Arawa of course was not taking no for an answer and went to where she faced demanding an answer but she simply turned away. Arawa followed her and she moved away from her, walking briskly towards where they kept the broomsticks. Arawa had forgotten her duty and followed her. What was the point of bringing her curiosity over the edge and then leaving her in the dark? If there were her people here, then she had the right to know. "You there!! Haven't you got something to do or do I get you engaged?, " an angry soldier said to her brandishing his whip threateningly. Arawa looked up at him with distaste. He sure was looking for trouble with Brian if he did touch her. Somehow, she knew that Brian would never approve another punishing her but with the way she had

Brian and Adrian had been dancing around with their swords for sometime now. Truth be told, it had been quite a really long time since the brothers had this amount of fun. They were there fencing and giggling like little boys, neither willing to give up for the other. Soon, they were both panting tiredly and struggling hard to catch their breath. They both decided to take a break and sat down with their swords at hand. If there was anything they had learnt, it was their special ability to commit foul play when training. They knew each other inside out. They had not noticed the captain who had not left the scene and had been watching them all along. By age, he was older than them both and was more than happy to see them as happy as this. Since Adrian rescued him and he pledged himself to him fully, he had never seen him this excited. Not even when he was with the women. It made him glad to see him like this. Actually , he had not left since then as he felt like he owed the brothers, m

Ollie stood there glaring at Arawa, fuming with rage. To her, she saw no reason why master Brian would stand up for this savage woman. She had been here for longer and deserved to be treated above all. She had been trying to get his attention from the very first time she had seen him but to no avail. Only then, for this savage to come to win him over by simply being annoying. First, she had won him over and then, she bit her arm causing her a scar. Now, she had vowed to herself never to give peace to Arawa not minding the odds. It had given her such satisfaction seeing Arawa being whipped, only for Brian to show up. Someone had definitely called him to the scene and that someone had been whom she had been trying to find out when the annoying lady came back. She looked too beautiful in that dress of hers and that caused Ollie so much anger. What made her feel so proud was it because of this body. Ollie had been trying all she could and all she had learnt along the line to get curvy bu
