Chapter 26 - Why Chloe?

After reaching Aliria, Chloe and Alfakis entered the city square to find the small child,for whom Chloe went to fetch some food, lying dead. "What happened to him?", she asked.

"He was starving from the last few days and after all, the wait for food ended for him. May his soul rest in peace.! He has departed towards heaven to collide with his parents! Happy after life journey dear son..." said uncle Major as he wiped his eyes with his ragged hands.

After the cremation of the corpse was done, Chloe came back with a broken heart and started the preparation for cooking the deer. She saw Alfakis doing something too seriously... He was removing the burnt corpses, carcasses and the skeletons of Animals and humans with a stick to make a place for cooking. Nevertheless, Chloe was looking at him with great desire in her eyes.

"Watt?", asked Alfakis in his accent.

"What! It's what, not 'watt'", said Chloe as she taunted Alfakis.

"Well, yuh didnot explain me abut yur encunter with Chris, Speak up( Well, you didn't explain me about your encounter with Chris, Speak up.)" said Alfakis as Chloe started:

I have heard about first or last love but Chris was my second love(after my parents), After the death of my parents, I decided to invade Celavia and do the same over there. There I met Chris; well he was my first target, but I expected him to be too much naïve. He overpowered me and forced me to speak up. I had to open all the box of truth in front of him, he then affirmed that he is working on the mission to end the queen as well. Since then, gradually I started getting attached to him. First by work and last by heart. How can I forget him?

After the death of the queen, The kingdom of Celavia got divided into two parts; Sayariks and Riariks. Chris then wanted to marry me, become the king and settle as the leader of Celavia for his life.

You must know that I am very earnest about my self respect and dignity. As I rejected his proposal, Chris striked my head with a metal flower vase and it started bleeding. Then and there I abolished and abandoned him from my mind and walked out of Celavia with nothing but dignity and bravery. When I would have my satiated Aliria, it would be a revenge to the strike. My concern was not that I bleeded, but that my dignity was also hurt. Men who hurt women are basically cowards.

"I ugree(I agree)", said Alfakis as he looked at Chloe's frowned face with a look of dismay. "You are too innocent. I feel a sympathy for you.", said Chloe to herself and looked at Alfakis with a urgent smile on her face.

It was already mid-eve, Chloe had set up the dinner arrangement. While the deer was roasting, over the fire, both the eyes of Chloe and Alfakis was making a contact. Though Alfakis was quite hesitant, but Chloe looked at him like a dare devil.
