"Thank you for trusting me. And I would never let you down I promise."
"Speaking of which,how about you start telling me about the relationship between my sister and you"?
"A lot of people are trying to kill me. "He says out of nowhere.
"I really think we have already established that" I countered.
"No you do not understand the gravity of the problem we have found ourselves in. Look at me"
He his being serious right now. It is like he has turned ice cold.
So I obeyed.
"That man, the man that calls himself the air, he is not just anyone. He has tricks, he has his ways of dealing with people that you cannot even comprehend. Now you know what I think?. He does know you are powerful, I mean extremely powerful, and now that I have you by my side he thinks i am threat to his powers. Because when we both join forces he would be taken down, the only advantage I had the first time I was at war with him was I could read minds. And he didn't know at that time. So now, I do not know just how much powers he has, and as he is he is about to-". His ramble was cut off by the guards by the door who delivers a note.
"Your grace, your majesty."
He waits for permission but Ares does not care for respect right now, even I do not.
We are at war!. With a very powerful man who has all the resources and knows our secrets which we know just little to nothjng about.
"A raven came in the palace just now, it is from the east border your majesty. This is the message it brought to the queen". The guard explains.
"A raven, from the eastern borders?". Ares asked surprised.
"The witches?".
"Yeah right?". He smirked.
"You may now leave Tobias. And thank you"
"Yes your majesty" he leaves for the second time today.
"He is happy to serve you." I murmured to myself admiring Ares.
"Do you think the witches sent this as a warning or a threat or to be on my side or something?" He is nervous, the only hope he has are the easterners. We the easts are the second most powerful in the kingdom, though many people do not accept the fact.
"I do not know, I think we re about to find out". I walk towards him.
He opens the paper, it was written in old Latin, so I think Ares understands Latin since he could read it.
"You speak Latin?". I asked surprised.
"Well, your husband loves history and i am a king i should be expected to know that little, and this is the seventeenth century what do you expect.?" He smirks. I feel tingly when he sais the word husband.
"We are to meet by the break of dawn in the morrow, it says 'forces of air, they want something, I can help.Hence, in the morrow, at dawn,the witch knows her powers, she would be directed to the location f she's truly as powerful as she is said to be. Only the witch is allowed.' What do you think?"
He asks me.
"Well, as your wife or as your queen"?. I am teasing him now and we do not have that much luxury. But what of it?. Are we meant to just sit around all sulky?. Hell no, if there is one think I have learnt all my life and while i am with Ares, and as a queen is that when you are facing calamities, just have a little faith and make sure to not be sad.
Sadness worsens the situation.
"Well I think I would be prefer you to answer me as my mate. Come here". He says, calling me over, encouraging me to sit on his lap.
I sit on his lap, liking the idea.
"Well, how about we both don't go there. Since they do not seem to trust you yet, chances of them talking to me or even thinking of going further in their help if you ever show up." I try to reason with him knowing him he would never want me to go there alone. I am well aware of his over protective instinct towards me.
"Oh you sure do know that there is no way in hell I am letting you go there alone, at the break of dawn?. How about you rethink" his last statement stung, but I know he didn't mean it like that.
"Ares, you really need to let me fight my own battles by my self, ou cannot always protect me. Yes as much as I want your protection I need to start knowing what exactly I am up against. You said it yourself this man called the air wants me out of the way to get to you" I explain to him.
He sighs, "well, all of this is happening to you because of me. This enemies are my enemies, enemies i made way back and they are back for you because of me."
"I just need to be able to be up against them anytime any day, remember my dream?." I asked, my fingers caressing his hair.
"Yeah" he answers his green eyes staring deep into mine.
"I need to unleash myself. You don't know this may be of help. And besides we sure do not have anyone else to help us. They are the only one who are willing to be on our side. Please Ares" I massage his scalp. I smile in triumph and I know I have won when he groans.
"Fine, but you would be in disguise, I would ask the warlock to erase your scent. You would be carrying mine. And that only means one thing,one thing that I am absolutely satisfied with is, you never leave my side till the dawn." He smiles at that idea.
"Oh heavens, I do not know what to say, but i am really relieved you accepted."
"Well, I am a territorial man. But I am not the type of a man who controls his woman. You have your own free will too."
He answers, his hand already wandering underneath my night gown.
"I still do not trust this witches. But then...are you scared?".
"Yeah I am, i mean, it could be a trap".
I answered sighing loudly.
"Yeah, it could be, but you have to believe in your self first"
"Well, we have untill tomorrow to find out" I say nervously.
"Yeah till tommow to find out"
