Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Castian Returns

"Queen Ranessa, I'm happy that you're seeing me even with such a busy scedule." Prince Ying Says as he politely bows before sitting across from me. "I see that warrior of yours is not here. Does that mean you agree to my offer from a few days ago?" He asks, I smile instead of answering, I should stall this meeting as much as possible. Where on earth are you Castian?

Outside Majesty City Gates

One could see ten men riding horses to the gates of Majesty city, the main person that lead them was Castian, and today he wore royal clothing. "Woah who are these people?" Femur ask as he was the one guarding the entrance leading into the city. Femur eyes the bags the horses were carrying, "you kept me at the gate long enough, let us through." Castian says feeling impatient, he had to get to the Queen's side quickly. That damned prince was probably already using those damn princely charms on her to change her mind. "Ah yes, Queen Ranessa has been waiting for your arrival." Femur says as he hurries to open the gate. Queen Ranessa? What the hell is going on around here?

Once he enters he was completely impressed by what he was seeing, the main city was pratically sparkling, "blow the horn on our arrival." Castian orders one of the men. It seems that Gert did a great job, but now he will be the one to help her, the woman he loved.

Back to Golden Dragon Kingdom

I looked outside my study room window, it had the veiw of Majesty Kingdom down below. "Are you even listening?" Prince Ying has been talking me up this entire time but something had distracted me, even though it was soft. I could hear the sound of a horn blowing, it couldn't possibly be my imagination. "Do you not hear that?" I ask as I stood to leave my study room, Prince Ying jumps out of his chair and follows behind me, "hear what?" He asks as I made my way to the front of the palace and then down the hall that lead outside the palace. "Queen Ranessa." Chancellor Lexor bows and then immediately opens the doors for me.

The first people I see are Mangola, Brim and Rock who came running towards me from the path that lead down to the city. "You won't believe this but just a minute ago we were down in the city touching up on the market when behold Castian appears." Mangola says. Brim nods, "I know, it was so surprising to see him dressed like that, he even brought twenty men riding horses that seemed to be carrying something." Brim says. Rock crosses his arms, "he has a whole lot of explaining to do, that was not someone normal, Castian is hiding a big secret." He mutters. I looked at them completely taken avack, "did he not notice you.?" I ask.

The three shook their heads, "Mangola carried us here so we could tell you the news as quickly as possible." Rock says. Right, even if she's small in size her strength is pretty scary. Just who are you Castian? Just as I thought that Castian was the one that came into view first, but as just as he drew closer there were men coming up behind him. It seems that the three had a reason to worry because the Castian I was looking at had a royal appearance and looked even more good-looking...if that was possible. I don't know, but the Castian before was always quiet and hard to read, and even now I'm not sure if I could read him.

He finally reaches us and unmounts his horse, he stood before me and suddenly falls to his knee and bows his head, "My Queen, I have returned. I do apologise for my late return, I had some business to take care of." He spoke. Even his voice had deepened, that or its my imagination. What am I thinking about with one of my warriors? I must get it together, stop thinking about how good he looks right now, I've never had these thoughts about him before. "You're not late, just on time actually. But Castian what is going on?" I ask. He stands and walks up to me, "just as I promised, I came to tell you who I really am." He took my hand and raised it to his lips, I was pretty much entranced by those piercing grey eyes of his that stared down into mine.

I pulled my hand back that tingled from the touch of those lips, I think I'm going insane, why am I looking at him different? Why is he brimming with even more sex appeal than before? I clear my throat, "alright, shall we go in?" I ask. He shakes his head, "not yet, I'll tell you here before we go in." One of the men unmounted his horse and brought over a rolled scroll. "What is that?" Brim asks. Castain waves his hand for the man to read outloud, he unrolls the scroll and begins to read.

"King Castian Romaine of the Romaine Kingdom has agreed to use his power to help Queen Ranessa of Golden Dragon Kingdom. He's agreed to give Her Majesty sole rights to him ten of his men, a diamond mine, ten horses, and in each horse's bag is enough food and supplies for the palace. King Castian will also use his authority to bring all his citizens of Romain Kingdom to live here in Golden Dragon Kingdom." The man rerolls the scroll, bows and mounts his horse once more.

Everyone was gaping, including myself, what the hell did I just hear?
