The green liquid circulates his blood and when he coughed and opened his eyes, to Lea's greatest surprise, his mouth had turn green.
Lea stared at him as foam rushed out from his mouth like as if he took poison and then something to wash it out.
Her fear rose when the guy in a hoodie picked him and like a stack of goods, balanced him on his shoulder, and walked away.
As he walked away with Lamina on his shoulder, Lea didn't miss the sight of something like armor attached to his shoes.
Who is he?
That question rang in her head several times, as she pounced on the chair in the little living room that they call it, her hand on her chest as she panted and sweat dripped off her forehead, down to her chin and then on her dress.
"Lamina... Lamina's gone" she whispered as tears flowed down her eyes, her throat turned sour all of a sudden and she started to ask herself why she didn't let Lamina to enter inside the house in the first place.
But wait...
The real question she should be asking herself is what did Lamina do, that made that man to chase after him and inject something inside him?
Lea quickly wiped her tears off and sniffed in, she cleared her throat and kept taking and letting out deep breaths because she really need to get her head off the clouds.
Slowly, she started calming down and went to the door.
Her hand was shaking. She didn't want to dare touch the door knob because of the fear that she got soaked in the moment she saw Lamina.
Probably her dad was right. Lamina shouldn't be a friend of hers, even if they had been friends for years now. Quickly, she went to the horse stable, just to find Lorn lying on the ground and resting.
His eyes were closed and his nose enlarged and decreased in width whenever he breathes in and out. Lea saw this and didn't want to interrupt his peaceful moment with a silly disturbance of heading to the market at night. So she made a decision to leave him to rest. She closed the door gently and went back inside the house where she came out from.
Lea kept contemplating on whether heading to the market will be a good idea or not. She had to gather another round of legumes and veggies so as to not starve in the house while her dad is away. He didn't even mention when he will be coming back which is unlikely of him.
Oh well, probably they didn't tell him, right?
Lea kept her mind on the positive side. Her dad is okay wherever he is. Her dad is okay wherever he is.
She bounced on the bed in her room, with her hand placed and spread across her chest, as she thought of Lamina and Landi, her eyes started becoming heavy and within seconds...
Lea fell asleep.
*IN THE CASTLE OF A NEARBY KINGDOM, WHERE LAMINA IS BEING TAKEN TO BY THE MAN THAT INJECTED HIM, IS A KING IN A MAGNIFICENT ROBE, SITTING ON A THRONE*
The man that got a hoodie across his head and is carrying Lamina tightly on his shoulders, is seen entering the gates of the castle. Inside, the Castle are guards, each holding a staff that have sharpen edges and an arrow head.
They recognize the man coming and each gave a way for him to pass into the throne room where the King, Queen, The Princesses and The Prince, is seated.
"I greet the Royal Family" the man with Lamina said as he went on one knee in front of them and the royal family stops the conversation going on between them and focus on the man.
"What is it, Xavier?" The King asks.
The King is at the middle of both his children and his wife. The Queen is beside him, but her throne is lower than his. Their children are beneath their throne, but the prince is at the right hand side of his father's throne.
"Like I promised my King, I found a place where the men are agile and always hungry. The women are known as hardworking farmers. But the girls... "
"What girls?" the Prince in a Royal Robe asked.
Xavier's gaze diverted to the King in expectant of him saying something. About what the whole family discussed.
"Umm... Xavier stay at the door. We shall send for you when we are done" The Queen said and Xavier nodded once and stood up from his knee and left.
"Honey, we wanted to tell you something" The Queen started and the Prince boredom disappeared as interest to what they have to say started erupting.
"What is it?" he asks, interest erupting vigourously in him.
"Son, all of your sisters here are married. You are the elder brother of Selena, yet Selena is engaged... "
"I am not a Princess, father. Finding the right wife isn't as easy as it seems"
"It is, if we gather from the farther lands a ladies that you can pick from... "
"Well, I don't want that" the Prince in the blue robe and suit said, standing up from his throne.
"Then what do you want? I don't want to get off this throne and hand it over to just a man. I want both a man and a woman to rule this kingdom whole heartedly" The King said and stood up from his throne.
Facing each other, the females on their thrones stared at the scene.
"I won't have just a son to be the ruler of my people... "
"Then have it as you want" The Prince said and stumped down the throne's stair case and then out of the throne room.
"Xavier!" The King called and the doors leading to the throne room split opened and Xavier came into the room.
"Are the men agile?" The King asked and Xavier nodded.
"But they have more than enough females. If we can just get few of them, I think the Prince will be able to find someone from there" Xavier said and the King sat down, his thoughts spinning.
King Basseneu is the ruler of Banneui for decades now. He is married to Queen Sarah who happens to be one of the daughters of the famous Lurions Family in Banneui.
King Basseneu and Sarah bore four children, three girls and a boy.
Basseneu is a man of boldness and strength. Of bravery and love for his family and people. Of strictness that all his children respects and ahead to his commands.
His children are as follows:-
1. The First Child; Lola
2. The Second Child; Jen Kun
3. The Third Child; Valdemar and of course,
4. The Fourth Child; Mia.
The two older girls are married while Mia is engaged. Valdemar, the Prince of Banneui, refused to marry under the reasons of how the women of Banneui behaves.
So Basseneu arranged for their one and most aggressive soldier, Xavier, to go to far off lands to search for ladies for his son to choose from.
Basseneu sighed in deeply and nodded at Xavier.
"17 years old and above, we need about twenty three of them" he said and Xavier nodded.
"As you wish, my King"
