Somewhere in Moving Mountain Kingdom:
In a dimly lit room, A man can be seen trembling in front of a person sitting in a dark corner of the room, he seem to be sore afraid of the person and would rather be anywhere but in front of this person.
My Liege Shira woke up, I am so sorry I failed you, forgive..
Before he could say another word, he was blasted across the room.
He grimaced as he finds it difficult to stand but he knows he have to stand up if he does not want to make that person more angry,he had to put in more power to his feet so he could stand up.
You are nothing but a failure and a disappointment, I gave you a simple task and you failed.. I thought you said you dealt with Shira and we would no longer be hearing from her, only for you to come and tell me now that she woke up.. he said blasting him across the room once again.
Calm down My liege, another man coming in said to the person in the dark corner of the room, you might end up killing him, he is still one of our best men after all.
I don't think so anymore, not after this... I think he will be better off dead, I will not tolerate failure in my people.
Take him out of here the man told the guard following him as he pointed to the man passed out on the floor.
The man seems to be quite close to the anonymous person, as he could be so casual in the presence of this fearful entity.
After the man had been taken out half dead, he was only blasted to the wall twice and he is already half dead, another blasting and he will be truly dead.
Now that we are the only one's in the room, I must say you really need to reel in your emotion, there is no need to transfer your frustration on poor Zuri, we both know that Shira won't be so easy to get rid of, at least she was gone long enough for us to strengthen our forces.
We just need to start with the second stage of our plan, and by the time we are through with it, she will not even know what hit her.
Hmmmn the anonymous person growled. Garett I hope you are right, Has the mole been placed?
Yes my liege, the mole has already been placed, I must say we are a step closer to getting what we need to destroy those people.
I have to get what is rightfully mine, and she will always be in the way, we have to do whatever it takes to get rid of her and we need to get it right this time, he said with a grim tone.
Now how is our little project coming along, has Beimbel make any progress yet?
I am afraid but he has still not make any breakthrough since last time, although he seem to be concentrating more of recent as he claim to be close to solving a puzzle that may help him make a breakthrough with the project.
We just need to have faith in his dedication as he is the best in what he does.
Hmmmn, the anonymous person in the dark growled once again which seem to be a habit.
Alfred Pov:
I woke up this morning feeling a little restless, it is going to be an eventful day and I don't think am up for it.. I look to the side of the bed to see Maya still sleeping, she usually leave before I woke up. I had to nudge her to wake her up, I can't let someone walk in and see her here, although nobody can come in without knocking first, but Lance can be an ass sometimes.
Maya you need to wake up, it's already morning and you need to leave.
She seem to scrambled up as soon as she heard what I said, So sorry I slept in. I must have been so drained from last night activities, can you blame me though you went all out. She said with a wink.
Well what can I say you keep asking me for more, I don't want to leave you unsatisfied. I replied with a wink of my own.
I should leave now before someone come in, are we seeing tonight?.
Maya I don't think that will be possible, I have to attend to the guest that am expecting today so I might to be able to attend to you tonight, maybe tomorrow.
Okay then, I should really leave now, she said after giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.
Maya and I have an understanding, She knows we don't have a future together, I already made that very clear before having anything with her and she promised to leave when I decide it's time. Maya has been a great help to me when my parent died, she has been a great friend and I would really hate to hurt her.
Having this whole responsibility dump on me when my parent passed away has not really been easy for me but I don't have a choice I had to step up, for it is my duty after all.
If my parent had not died early, then I might have avoided this fate altogether.
We were suppose to aid Shira,the one the goddess chose for her instead will rule, Damien is suppose to rule after my Dad passed away but since they are not married yet, I have to rule instead.
Damien is the heir to Grimly kingdom but since he has been chosen to marry Shira, his throne will be given to his brother unless he refuse to marry Shira, then Shira will marry his immediate younger brother instead but I don't see that happening since they seems to be soul mate after all.
The throne might be a huge burden to bear but I will do anything to aid Shira, we were born to be her shield after all.. Me and Lance will lay down our life to protect her for that is our sole duty.
As I finish taking my bath and dressing up, I heard someone barging into my room, I don't need to look back to know who that is.
Lance how many times will have to tell you to knock before you enter my room.
Forgive my impudence your majesty, I will knock next time.
Lance why are you here, I said as I leave my room to get some things done before the guest arrived.
Do I need a reason to come see my brother? Why are you cranky this morning, you are always cranky but you are more cranky this morning. Are you okay?.
Lance you are not even making sense, don't you have anything to do this morning, I suppose you have more time on your hands, should I give you something to do.
What do you mean, of course I am also very busy, but what is life if I cannot pester you and Shira. You know that is what I live for and that Witch Shila is coming,So am especially on edge today. I need something to take the edge off and what better way to do that, if not to pester you since my other means of entertainment is not available.
Who are you referring to as a witch Lance? as we both turn to see who that is, I could feel Lance turn rigid like a statue beside me immediately he saw who it is.
