..

After the long party of last night, Dad and Kidron got up late, so late that we couldn't have breakfast together. They are being served in their rooms.

Eve was still in the King's head even after all the alcohol he consumed the previous night. It's been two days now and the king was still searching for a suitable punishment. Hoping this will make him forget her once and for all.

While Elgin was up very early in the morning. She hates staying in bed especially when she's alive. She has stayed in bed more than what a human is normally supposed to or will ever do.

As she was strolling in the compound, she saw a group of maids leaving with the laundry to a nearby river and she followed them after a lot of persuasions.

She undresses and she plunges into the cold day water, happily. While the maids are seriously scared and worried that she can fall asleep in the water and drown.

Elgin has no Idea about their worry, she swims like a fish in water, the water befriends her like she is a sea creature. "Will you rather spend your day watching me or do your work?" when she turns, she notices their nervous stares at her.

They run to the water to wash the dresses with their attention mended on Elgin. After the long laundry, they move back to the palace.

Luckily for Elgin, her brother and the king had just gotten out of their rooms. As soon as she reaches the palace, the king sends for her. It's only then that Elgin remembers that she had to go visit Eve.

Eve waited for her to come in vain, she gave up.

"Dad, you send for me?" Elgin enters the throne home. "Yes, take a seat." she moves and she sits on her father's right side.

"I was told that you have been visiting my prisoner without my permission. Can I know why you go there?" he's angry but she thought he would have been angrier when he finds out.

"We discuss?" she says. "About?" he broadens his stare. The king asks but she hesitates to reply this time. "Dad she said something about you?"

"Feel free?" he insists. She takes a deep breath "She said you are a ludicrous king that will punish her for something which happened many years before she was born and that it has nothing to do with her close or far ancestor." she utters with no break.

"Dad is this true?. Will you kill her?." she insists. "As I told you last night, it's non of your business and I will love you to stop visiting her!" he rules.

"Please Dad, I do you no harm by visiting her, you won't deprive me of this as well." her shoulders helplessly slumps. After a minute of reflection, he says "Do as you wish." he ends. Anyway, Elgin visiting her won't stop him from killing her.

"My King, My princess, Lunch is ready." A maid announces and leaves immediately. They later move to the dining table.

They are being served as usual. This particular maid approaches, with her stare, fixed on Kidron. With a blush she takes her stare off Kidron. Elgin notices it, instantly she turns to Kidron and he's gazing at her, the maid. He immediately flings his stare away as he notices Elgin scrutinizing them.

He Coughs... Clearing his throat in embarrassment. "You!, you can leave." she sends the maid away. While the other remains to serve them. "Why?. Why send her away?" Kidron frowns, mouthing without letting any sound out. She simply smiles.

The King doesn't notice anything as he's lost in his thoughts.

"My King." Tommy calls as he runs into the hall. "Tommy, not now." the king stops him before he can get too close. "It's urgent my king." he insists.

"Say it then." the king puffs, in dismal.

"Thank you, my king. I was told by my spies patrolling the kingdom, that two huge arms are approaching, our kingdom. They are about half a day of the walk to reach the kingdom's main town." he says with his trembling voice.

"It's not too early!" the king smile but as usual Tommy is seriously worried "My King, their army is more than five thousand men, meanwhile we barely have three thousand men."

"Our men are stronger and wiser. Fighting is in our blood. We won the first time, we will surely win the second." the king recites with enthusiasm.

"I think you should make preparations for your family to evacuate before it is too late." Tom proposes mainly because he wants to run away with the royal family.

"Don't be stupid?. How can a man run out of his own body? This is my fight. Now get the hell out. Tell the warriors to prepare we can attack or be attacked at any time from now." The King moves out of the table and he goes.

"Why did you send her away?." Kidron frowns at Elgin as soon as the king disappears. He moves closer, taking a seat near her.

"Can't you see it, dear brother?. I'm in love with you!" Elgin grimace a sad face. "What?" Kidron widens his stare in shock and it's damn funny to see.

"Hahaha... I'm kidding." she laughs for a while. "You got me worried, don't you ever do this again." Kidron breathe.

"You act like a fool when she's around and it's pissing me off. I know you to be a very strong warrior but when she's around you are something else. Bbuurrkkk... Just do that far away from me."

"Now I see it, its jealousy. Hahaha... Don't bother you won't lose your lovely brother any time some. I'm planning to be a bachelor for a very, very long time." he laughs.

Elgin knows nothing about relationships and love. She knows the basics but she can't understand the attraction between two people.

"We will see if dad will let you do," Elgin says.

"We are wolves and we can live for thousands of years and no matter how old a male wolf is he can always impregnate a woman, contrary to you, after 500years you won't be able to get pregnant again, so you better get married soon." he gives her a gentle tap on the nose.

"I feel this very discriminative, why did the moon God have to punish us women with this, but not men. At time, I hate being a werewolf." I smirk.

"Why?" he sees the sadness in me.

"Simply because I won't die any time soon, I wish I could get old fast and die, I'm tired of spending all my life in a bed while others are enjoying and having fun. Sometimes I just hate the entire world."

"Sorry." he takes me in his arm "I wish there was something I could do to help you?."

"It's fine. It's ok!. I'm ok." I escape his grasp, battling so hard with myself not to nurse it into him because this will make him more worried.

"You are not fine. You can feel free with me, you don't have to act. I'm not any stranger." it's clear that I'm not fine.

"I'm going to visit the princess, What if you come with me?." she changes the topic, pulling her brother out of his chair. "Okay, fine!." they move to the cell.

When they reach in with their fires the room seems a little bit clear. Elgin moves the little gift for Eve. Kidron frowns because their dad insisted on no food.

"Who is that by you?" Eve asks. "My brother the prince, and the heir to the throne of the aqua kingdom." Elgin introduces and Kidron bends whispering into his sister's ears "Was it really necessary." she simply laughs, she loves pulling his legs.

"My Prince" Eve bows sarcastically though she remains sitted on the floor, no strength to get up. Her shabby hairs covered her face. She pushes her hair behind her ears to take a good luck at the princess.

Indeed, he's a nice-looking young man, about 6 feet tall, with grim eyes, he's hair are short black and well groom. He shaved all his beards and his chin is white. He was standing there like a last knight standing on the battlefield alone facing thousands, yet his posture communicated a pose of victory before the actual battle.

While Eve's face is covered with black mud, yet Kidron manages to see the fierce beauty hidden behind her dirty face. He remains speechless all through. It was his first time seeing her, he wasn't left unaffected.

"Your people are coming for you," Elgin tells her before she can say something Kidron's voice overshadows that of Eve.

"We have to leave." Kidron took his sister away.
