Chapter 8 - THE NARROW GETAWAY

WEST

(KINGDOM IRINIA)

Cedric Varane finally reached back to his home. Llarm McGill had already set up a family meeting at this occasion as he didn't believe in Cedric's doings. It was noon. All family members had lunch together and they do not discuss political and Social matters during food. The meeting was about to start. Everyone was keen to know what Cedric had to say. No One knew what he had in mind and what things he had done on his visit to Kingdom Sands of Busky. The meeting was going to be held.

Llarm McGill eagerly asked him what he has to say. Cedric smiled and called his messenger. Cedric asked his messenger to read the message sent by him to Kingdom Iriene. As he read further, everyone in the hall stood still. Priestess Horriharre faced against him. His mother was shocked.

"Do you mean a fucking war after five days ?" Llarm shouted at Cedric. "I don't need to apologize for my behaviour but this is fucking insane."

"You don't have any authority to determine such things," said priestess Horriharre.

"Actually it is four days because it took one day on travelling" Cedric replied.

He said the war is against Iriene and Sands of Busky as well as he delivered the same message personally.

"This is unacceptable," said Llarm McGill. He asked his mother to think about it and send both kingdoms a letter of adopting peace and apologizing for Cedric immaturity.

"This ain't immaturity," Cedric remarked.

Llarm McGill shouted at him and said," You have done enough. How can you still speak? Didn't you even think of your stupidity? Come on bring him a mirror and look at yourself. You stupid prince."

"They are not Adval Jones and off course like him. "

"Fuck you, prince," said Llarm McGill, " I am resigning my post. What do you know about Adval Jones ?"

"Then tell us. You never told us what actually happened. If you have survived that then I'm pretty sure you can deal with this."

"I don't want to say anything more than fuck you," Llarm remarked.

"If you resign then I will have two days only to prepare everything for the war," Cedric said.

His mother asked why there will be two days only. He said that he was going on holidays with his sister Nara tomorrow morning. He asked Llarm McGill to either prepare for the war or resign before he went for holidays. Nara asked his brother Cedric, " Holidays ... at this very moment? "

"We do not have to worry while we have perfect war tactician Llarm McGill," said the Cedric, "I request you to prepare for the war and have faith in me".

"War against two kingdoms simultaneously" Larm murmured.

Priestess Horriharre asked Cedric about the strategy and said," What is it in your mind ?"

"I will get my Kingdom back. I will get back what was lost. So if anybody here who is afraid ... who accept our failure for the rest of our life please resign. Either if I have to go alone, I will fight. I know I will loose but if you... Llarm McGill ... I trust you... if you will be with us then the victory is ours." said the Cedric and he left the meeting.

While he was leaving he turned to priestess Horriharre and said, "I know you have faith in me. You should know I won't let anything happen to you."

"I think you were leaving after exaggerating the things, my lord," said the priestess. Cedric left smiling and told Nara to be ready in the morning for the holidays. Tasked, ed, "Where's Lesire ?" Nara said that she is still learning the sword in the temples.

"Tell her to come back home as soon as possible." said the Cedric.

Helen Zacuhetti was feeding the pigeons and said," They are coming to get me. After all these years they still hold the grudge." Azkaban said smilingly," You are way popular. He said, "Opees will be back soon. I called him as soon as possible." Helen smiled and joyfully said, " Ohhhh I really missed him. I want to churn his cheeks. It has been a year since he's away. He must be eight by now."

"Do you want to go to River Lerraine ?" asked the concerned brother, "Take our brother Opees too."

"I am not going anywhere ....you can prepare the ship for the Opees but not for me. I wouldn't run away." said the Helen.

"Ballard Busky is also arriving today." said the Azkaban, " Maybe it is related to Cedric's message."

"Ohhh. Did he ask both of his neighbours for a war? Then I'll say he's a daring chap" remarked by Helen.

The guards called Ballard's name from outside. They wanted to notify that his father king Dorman Busky wants him to proceed to Kingdom Iriene. "Just be on the bed. They just came to call me. They won't enter the room.", said the Ballard to a naked man lying on his bed who's name was Albert. "I'm just concerned, my lord.", said the man. A soldier approached him and told his father wanted to see him.

"You should be ready if Cedric attacked our Kingdom as we have to consider all he the options that we are having." Dorman Busky told his son," War is near. It can be anything. Be prepared and if anything happens to notify us immediately."

"Don't worry, father. He is mine if he comes." Ballard confidently spoke.

Ballard came back to his mate. He sat on top of his while he kissed him, "I love your smell".

Chief of the troop asked his comrade, "Did you send message to Pheesel Anisomy ?"

"Yes, sir."

"Is he awake ?" asked the chief.

"He's still unconscious. We have found about 5 kgs of the herb." said one soldier.

"We can sell them. It is worth 20000 gold shillings." said another soldier.

"Or we can inhale it." said the former.

"Not during hours. Just pack it up. We'll see later.", said the chief.

"I will fucking eat you all raw. You are all fucking swine." , Wredd shouted, " You ain't taking a fucking shit."

One soldier came and punched him, "He is out of order." said laughingly.

After a while, Wredd woke up and asked, " Who are you'll ?"

"We are from Thracian's army," said the chief," Well it is an order to kill you on sight but we are waiting for our minister. We told him that we have got you alive."

Wredd asked, " So Wilbert, Did he defeat Thracia and ruling it ?"

"What ? ... No, your father is still there in Erathia."

" So it is not my father who sent you all? " Wredd asked.

" Don't act like you don't know it, You killed our prince." said the chief.

"Aarrgh... Fuck you wredd ... What have you done, now ?" Wredd groaned to himself and said," No, that's not me. I can prove to you all that there is another me. The other me has killed the prince. I was alone and I was at the Doakes the whole time. He resembled my fucking face. That bastard killed your prince, not me."

"There's other you, "said the chief.

"Sir, He got herb too. I don't believe his coined stories. Maybe he is high." said the soldier. He again came closer to him and knocked the wredd down.

(AFTER A WHILE)

"Look at me. I am cursed. Look at my wounds ." Wredd shouted, " I can really take you to the real culprit".

"Man, Is he nuts ? ".

"Don't speak a word or I would cut your tongue out, I swear to the first man?" said the Chief.

Wredd kept quiet but then he broke the silence, " I am hungry. I haven't eaten anything since I was reborn."

"Reborn. I wanna kill him" said the soldier. They gave him two leg pieces of chicken and a small bottle of wine. They have tied him to the big rock. He can only move his neck. His head was towards the ground and looked like a dead. All the soldier had wine and they slept except one who was on watch.

" I want to attend the calls of nature." said the wredd.

"What ?"

"I want to piss and shit," said the wredd.

"Do it on the spot."

The chief was sleeping near to Wredd.

" Are you fucking insane ? " said the wredd, " I would fucking aim at your chief".

"My god. You are all fucking thieves. Where's my herb?" Wredd asked the duty soldier. "It is kept safe", the soldier said. "No ... No. You are not listening. That's a herb. I would kill for that. I will be a good boy, just return it back." Wredd warned him. Soldier sarcastically said, "Yes I am afraid of these paper arrows".

King Rodney Shroud was drinking wine and sitting with his wife. "Lord ?" asked by his younger brother Ripley. He asked, "What has happened, Ripley ?" Ripley said he was afraid that their results were zero. Rodney suggested keeping an army in their borders all the time until further notice. "Maybe they had never left but waiting for us to shut down the hunt. "said the Rodney, "So borders, I want them tight and by tight, you know what I mean ?"

"We are in the right place. Can you see ? " said the Mourd Shikon to King Luis Varane.

"See what ?"

"Slope ahead. We have approximately as much scope of sight as our eyes naturally have. We can point out anything beforehand. Just look at the mountains ahead." said the Mourd.

"Who are they ?"

There were a group of soldiers on the horses very far away. They were clearly visible to all of them. They were with the pack of wolves.

"Fucking wolves. Just don't come here. Come on. This is not a drill. We gotta move." said the Mourd.

"We didn't practice any drill. What the hell ?"

He asked him to go further into the cave and hide. He had already kept daily need items over there. He told him to pray and said," If things go wrong, You'd stay hidden. Okay ?"

"I wish."

Dante was cleaning the shop and arranging the library. Tisha came in and wished him morning, "Nice, you are the early bird."

"I feel the sarcasm in your every word "

"Hey, it is only beginning. You are so fast," she replied.

She also helped him in arranging the books. One book fell down and Dante picked it up. He read the cover that says, "The Dirbi sisters."

"The Dirbi sisters. Is it real ?" Dante asked.

"It is a book. I never read any of it. I don't know what is Dirbi." Tisha said with a fake smile.

"She is a goddess with three heads." Dante said," Goddess of time i.e past, present and future."

"You know so much," Tisha said," Do you want to read it ?"

"Can I borrow it ?" Dante asked.

"Yes."

"I do not believe you. Really ?" Dante asked.

"Buddy, I am good-hearted but you have to do one thing." She said.

"What is it ?"

"Be my bitch" she laughed loudly and left to the counter " I am kidding. Just don't steal anything."

"I can't. You the first lady" said the prince.

"Listen to me, you son of a whore. Just do what I say", said the Queen Dartha.

After an hour, the prince left her room quietly. He entered the hall. Princess Artha was passing by him and said, " I was looking for you. Me and your sister are ready. You went to my mother's".

"I went to call her to join us on the tour but she denied."

He left the hall while the princess went to her mother's room. Her mother was lying naked on the bed.

"I smell sex in here." asked the daughter.

"Darling, you should notify first. I feel shy in front of you." said the mother.

She looked at her mother's face with no expression and said, " You should know when to feel shy. Well, we are leaving." and started moving out of the room.

"Have a nice time ahead, my love" saying this Queen Dartha stood in front of the mirror looking at her body. She touches herself at the marks and little bruises on her body. While doing so she found out some blisters in the thigh region and put on her clothes.
