"Have the horses roped now. We have no time" I commanded my girls and they did as they're told.
Tonight is the final night of sleeping in my room with a headache.
I don't believe in sorcerers or sorceresses and their prophecies, the only person I believe can bring a man to me is God. Period! And that's for sure!
But sometimes, God delays somethings, so you just gotta keep pushing hard to get to what you really need or want.
The horses are being roped (means tied the ropes to it), and led out of the stable by Maria.
I climb unto my Royal horse, Lauren. She have always been the horse I love ever since I turned three.
We, the ladies, removed all designs from our horses bodies so that the people won't know I am from a Royal family. And I and the girls are dressed in dirty clothes.
A black and dirty but a bit clean warriors outfit is what I am wearing and the rest are clothed in the Vikings clothes.
I wonder why but,.... Why didn't I think of that?
I tighten the ropes grip on the horse by pulling it as we all settle on the horses. I can see Thaddeus and my other siblings watching me from their room.
I don't care. They want me to marry, fine! Here I go!
"Are you all ready?" I ask and they nodded as each one of them climbed upon the horses we have arranged will come with us.
I flung the ropes and off I rode.
I don't care if it's an old man that comes after me! Maybe when they see the man I love, they will learn their lesson and not have me marry someone I chose not to!
"She is too stressed up by all these marriage things?" Roy said and all the Princes and Xelilah sighed
"Father is taking it too hard on her. Perhaps she may find someone as she have gone out now" Xelilah says and Andrew chuckle out loud.
"Or maybe she just saw some hot cheeks out through the window and was like... " Andrew raised his head, "Hey" he said charmingly at Xelilah and Roy smacked his shoulder as they all laughed except Thaddeus.
The laughter continued while Thaddeus walked to the window in the room. He stared out if it and watched as his sister led the others to an unknown destination and outside Azariah.
"She must have been too forced and that's why she followed these steps" Xelilah say, walking to Thaddeus as they both stare out the window, watching them on the horses.
"I see our mother in her" Thaddeus whisper, audible enough to be heard by Xelilah.
"A stubborn yet brave lady, is who she is"
"Mother isn't stubborn, she is a very decisive person. She only makes decision that angers our father whenever she wants him to be annoyed or something" Roy says as he and Andrew stand at the other side beside Thaddeus.
"I agree. And that's what she is trying to manifest. I feel like it's mum speaking, not even her" Xelilah says and Thaddeus release a sigh of anxiety that he might not see his sister again.
"We should pray for her safety. Things might get a bit rough if she don't have backup" Andrew says and they nodded.
Andrew and Roy walked back to their bed and just as Xelilah wanted to follow, She notice Thaddeus not moving.
"Thaddeus? Isn't it better if we pray for her protection?" She asks and Thaddeus takes one more glance before he turns back and walk past Xelilah.
They all notice this and before they know it, he started the prayer without preparation.
"God, we thank you for our lives and our Dad... Our mum that is up there, we greet you..
" Roy opens one of his eyes and raised a brow at Thaddeus.
"We pray for Diane. We know that her attitude is unbearable, but with you... We believe that we will not complain again. God, let her get her heart desire and help her to maintain whatever and whoever she finds as she have gone out of the premises of Azel. Amen"
"Amen" the three siblings says in unison.
"Good night" Thaddeus says and exit the room, leaving the puzzled three behind.
"He got her in mind. Very pleasant of him" Andrew says and Roy nods slowly and like in thoughts.
"Get some sleep the both of you. Andrew, I don't want to see you in Roy's room when I survey tonight, please sleep early today" she says and exit the room.
Andrew and Roy look at each other, the same thought running in the minds.
What's up with them?
Ephesus and his men are seen on the plain fields, the boundary between Azel and Azariah. Their horses are walking now and their determined to stay up all night.
Though it is hard for Miles to stay awake, so instead he starts talking about his life experiences and they soon shut up when they catch a sight of some people.
"Can you believe it? It's like nothing that I did brought a good thing back to her! I was so... "
Ephesus face have a frown as its expression and the horse he's riding almost have the same expression as him.
"Can you believe that?" Miles asks and Simon answers sarcastically.
"Yeah... Yeah, we do. We really do"
Miles pouted because his talking isn't bringing anything that'll lead to results so what's the point?
"I think Azariah shouldn't be far now. We should be there in minutes or so, if my calculations isn't mistaken because of the noise Miles is inserting into my head" Colonel say and Miles jaw drops.
"Can anyone tell me why we even came out of Azel?" Miles asks and the three others turned to him with aggressive looks.
Oops.
Ephesus horse stopped and he turned to look at Miles. What the f*ck is he trying to isinuate? He wanna say that he don't know the purpose of this mission?
"We are going on this trip to... " But the neighs of horses distracts all of them and they turned, ready to attack.
But another completely different sight is what they lay their eyes on.
"Who are these?"
