Chapter 66: Chapter 66

Recap chapter 22

~ ~ ~ ~ King Konan of the terra Kingdom~ ~ ~ ~

~ The terra Kingdom is separated from the Caelum by a big river and It's believed to be the 3rd strongest kingdom. Although it's twice less populated than the C and S kingdoms. ~

After the attack of King Demons, every nearby kingdom has started panicking. They all know how ambitious and wicked he can be. He has never hidden his desire to be the Alpha of all Alphas and the King of all kings and everyone who knew him for the past century best knew his ambition.

Sir Rodriguez rushes into the room, panting lifting a piece of paper. The King is alarmed "My King you have received a letter. It's from King Alfred of the Arbro kingdom".

"Why now?" the King seizes the paper and reads it immediately "He's son is asking for my daughter's hand in marriage. But she's just turned 16 years old, and she's not ready for this," he says. He's a very sensitive man.

"My King, this is very good for us. I heard his son is very young, about 22years old. With a good guardian, I think they will make a good marriage. Girls of her age get married to older men just to preserve the " says his right-hand man.

"Not my girl!" he hits the table and Rodriguez shudders still he gathers his courage and speaks further "That's not what I mean my king. All I want to say is that he's not a bad partner for your daughter, especially at this time. We know that it's just a matter of time before King Demon attacks us with his gigantic army. I heard they are as many as ants and indomitable as lions. But with this alliance, we can win them." he explains.

"You know the Arbro kingdom has weird practice, how do you expect me to give them my daughter with all this?" says the King.

"My King, if you want to dwell, king, then you have to do this. Unless you want your reign to stop. Bethany isn't a child anymore, she's a big girl now. We have no choice but to accept their offer and we have to thank the moon, god because of this great opportunity" he speaks like a parrot...

The King is irritated "Leave, I need to think" the King orders. Rodriguez leaves immediately.

"Rebecca it's time for us to leave" the Queen hurriedly comes back "Mum where have you been?" Rebecca cries as soon as she sees her mum. She looked tired and irritated.

"Yes, we need to know," Judith insist. "It's a long story for now I have to leave before it gets completely dark" she whimpers. "Okay see you soon," she says while pulling Rebecca to mount the horse.

"We hope to see you again Rebecca," says the five girls, the oldest is 19 years old and the youngest is five. "Okay!" Rebecca fakes a smile and she puffs in relief as soon as her horse vamoose.

They ride their horses straight to the palace. When they reach the guard help them to unmount their horses. Rebecca moves away but her mum halts her.

"How was it with the girls?. Will you like to go back there and spend more time with them?" her mum asks.

"It was so far the worse experience of my life, those girls are mean. They hate me simply because think my life here is a paradise. I hate them. I wanted to leave but you were nowhere to be found" she reprimands her mum who looks terrible guilty.

"I'm sorry. And please all this should stay between us no one has to know that I wasn't with you all through." her mum tells. "Okay, mum. Can I leave now?" she wearily rolls her eyes.

"Of course" her mum the queen nods.

Rebecca hurriedly moves away. On her way, she meets Andrew. He bypasses her, he hesitates then finally moves back to her "How are you today?" he asks.

The sound voice halts her. She stares at him for a short time "I'm okay," she's surprised. "Okay!" he scratches the back of his head. She waits for him to say something but he nervously ends there.

"I thought as much" she murmurs with this said she walks away very disappointed. She easily communicates with Lilith and Adam but with Andrew things are different. She misses them so much. Never could she imagine that she will lose both of them at once. Life is a bastard, she tells are self.

"I think she will never like me" Andrew moves to Elizabeth who is still standing near her horse. "At least it's a good start, keep making the effort you both will get along," she says.

"How I wish it was that easy. Unfortunately, I'm not Lilith nor Adam. I'm Andrew the wicked one" he lets out. "You are certainly not evil. You just have great ambitions like your father." she consoles him.

He looks straight into her eyes "If everyone could understand me as you do?" he gets passionate but she immediately changes the topic "Talking about your father, have you seen him?" she asks while taking a few steps away.

"I just left him in the throne room, I didn't think he wants any interruptions." he asserts. "Okay, I will check that myself" with this said she moves away.

The sky is dark and it's night already. They are all gathered in the great room having dinner. This is Rebecca, her mother, Andrew, a few noblemen and the King.

The King requested a little meeting this evening with a few important men and they are all eating at his royal table.

"I have decided to attack the Terra Kingdom in a few days. I will announce the exact day tomorrow but for the main time make sure the army is set for this purpose. I don't want any distractions. The Terra kingdom is big and we must win" declare the King.

"Dad, don't you think it's too early?. We need more preparation and establish a good plan of attack" Andrew murmurs to his father. "No, I don't think so, we are ready. Trust me, King Konan has no idea of what is awaiting him... Hahaha..." the King hits his cup on the table like the good Viking that he is.

The other men in the room follow the King. They all hit their cup on the table at the same rhythm. The king lifts his cup "To us the victory" then he drinks, they all obey and do the same.

Rebecca is lost, she can't wait for all this to be over so that she can move to her room. She's bored as hell. No one to entertain her, no friend. No close relatives, only her chubby lady-in-waiting. She which, she could fall into her slumber. At least there she has very weird and exciting dreams.

However, all that is so pathetic to her.

After dinner, "Where are going to?" asks Andrew. "As if you care" Rebecca pours at him. "I care!" he exclaims seriously. "Okay, good to know." she moves away.

"Okay..." he pulls his words as he watches her disappear. "Just give him time" Elizabeth taps his shoulder and she moves away.

The King grabs Elizabeth on the waist and pulls her close to him "What do you think of this, idea?" he asks. "It's a brilliant one," she says.

"Great, you should tell this to Andrew, he tried to persuade me under wise," he says. "I will, but for now I need to rest" she excuses herself and she moves away.

Just when Andrew is about to move away his father calls him "Take care of them and once they are done, escort them out of the palace." with this said the King leaves.

Flashbacks of what happened in the Solis kingdom popes Rebecca's mind. She was smiling to herself until what she saw when she hugged Elgin appeared and she frowns.

~ ~ in the human world ~ ~

Eve was seated at the table, while Adams was on the couch. "Eve, can you step down the table?. You are obstructing my view, I want to watch the news." Adam cries out.

"What for? What do you do with the news you watch?. You don't even live here, very soon we will have to leave and I have visited no place. We have been locked in this house for the passe few days. You told me this place is filled with nice things but I have seen none" she cries.

"As from tomorrow. So, please can you step down now?" he begs.

"Promise?" before she can finish talking, something vibrates under her ass, and she falls off the table. Adam can help but laugh "At least now you are off the table," he says.

She gets from the grounding and picks the thing which was vibrating under her ass "What is this?" she wonders aloud. "It's called a cell phone" he seizes it from her.

He sees many unread messages. He sees that of Lily, many texts from her. "See, you tomorrow" he texts.

"What is it for?" she asks. "We use this to communicate with those far away. It's better than letters." Adam explains as he lifts his eyes to face her.

"Eve, your eyes... They are green, this is impossible... And blood is oozing from your nostrils" he freaks. "How, come? I don't feel anything" she panics.

"Calm down," he says. Suddenly, only Eve faints. "Eve, Eve... Get up, eve" Adam scream.

~ ~ In here, Dream~ ~

"Eve, Eve, get up" this old cranky voice yells and Eve immediately gets into a white room. This room, has no door, no wind, no ceiling, just white engulfing her.

"Help, help, me... Where I am?" Even whimpers as she searches the place in vain. Her heart is pounding and she's restless.

"Do you know why you are?" the old voice ask. "No, I don't. Where are you talking from?" Eve cries.

"I will tell you why you are here. This is because an individual is playing with the earth's balance and this can be very disastrous. Go back and find who it is... Your ancestors are with you" the voice slowly fates away.

"Why do I find the person?. I don't even know what you are talking about... Please, can you stop appearing to me" Eve speaks nonstop?

~ ~

With a heavy breath, Eve regains consciousness.

"Are you ok?" he asks.
