I get a pen and paper out while Neil is busy doing god knows what.
Daniel, Niel, Neil. Neil is Daniel? No way, he killed everyone than himself. He didn't survive. I went to his grave, I put flowers there, all for nothing?
Neil, no Daniel walks in as if nothing had ever happened. Hell no. I stand up throwing the paper into the fire, making my knowledge impossible to find out, he must die, and I'll be the next ruler. I'll make sure he's dead just like my grandfather, the old duke. Yet the way Daniel looks now is different from back then. It makes me miss the old days, meaning when he used to kill people and make sure I got the blame, then for some shitty reason I became someone that stopped that, a police officer.
Daniel stares at me "what did you just burn?"
"Some shitty poem I began to write" I lie.
"Sure?" he mutters before sitting beside me. I think he noticed something wrong. "I know we never, you know…yet it's always you saying no, we're officially married. What is stopping you?"
"I just feel like that you feel familiar, though I can't place it, you know?"
"No, I don't know, listen Malcom I know that you're sensitive and you barely leave this room"
"What of it?"
"I got you a body guard, though he seems a bit cold for your liking. He is a loyal prince of the kingdom of the west. You're the last survivor of the South and me of the North. So, it should work even if we have a rocky history."
I nod making it seem like I cared. "That means I can take Jenna out for a bit while you work"
"Yes"
"Perfect. That means this could work"
"He starts tomorrow be ready"
"Yes, your majesty"
This opening is priceless. The thought of going out with a lack of Neil or Daniel is exciting for my eyes and mind.
The door opens and a tall man with black hair, shiny yellow eyes, a suit on and an ear piece.
"I am the prince of the west, name's Kai, the bodyguard?"
"I am prince of the north, Neil" Neil nudges me and I smirk.
"Greetings, my name is Malcom, king of the south. Pleasure to meet you"
"The pleasure is mine" Kai says sweeping a bow "Your royal highness"
Nice I'm a royal highness now. Hell nah.
I smile while he bows again before staring Neil down, "you seem to have chosen bad company, your highness."
I almost laugh but I hold it in. please, no.
Kai smiles as Neil scowls "can you please let me say something to my husband for a minute?"
"Of course, prince"
"Show respect!" I look at the floor while he whispers that I should be careful because the guard is as sly as a fox. That's good, I'm surrounded by foxes. Yet I could kill them all. My demon side is showing a little the faint glow of my eyes becoming more noticeable. Kai's smile turns slightly cruel as Neil glares at him before leaving the room with the slam of the door.
"So, you're my bodyguard? How do you plan of keeping me held?"
"Depends on how you behave?"
"If I behave badly?"
"Well then you'd have to find out yourself" he says a little too quickly for my liking.
I head out of the door with a flick of my wrist the candles go out. "Come on then let's go" then I pick up Jenna, bless her when she clings to me. Kai follows us out of the castle and into the village, the woman whose husband had recently gotten taken…by me. Though Jenna gives the woman an odd look. Then I realize that her hands have gotten slightly faint with a slight glow to it. This is bad, she must have been the caster. I quickly leave the village and I go into the cave I stored the body, yet the man was jerking, the caster must have felt something like pain towards the man. Jenna shudders at the sight of the man.
"Jenna, was this you?"
"No"
"Jenna"
"Yes, it was me, he hurt me and I pictured him having a fate worse than death and it just happened and I was slightly happy then that woman was nasty. Father, please don't leave me"
"I am not that type of person. Though you're going to have to control it, lets try and focus on healing this man, then we can decide what to do"
Kai was watching this whole scene and the thought of her watching this man die must have frightened her since the pain was slowing and the man's wounds were healing slowly but surely. When he was healed, I knocked him out. Perfect.
"Father, you killed him?"
"He needed a nap, now home time?"
"There is a festival"
"Ahh the Halloween one?"
"Yes"
"Want to go?"
Kai stares at me before saying "you want to go to the festival? You think that the Prince of The North would like that?"
"The prince of the North is my husband, you know?"
"Yet you're a king, the main one at that."
"That's rich coming from someone that barely knows anything of the South."
"You created the weapons that are sent to the West" he mutters "your craftmanship is rare and very well placed, the designs couldn't be recopied by the North, so they are planning for you to do it for them, so they can begin well-crafted wars"
"Listen prince Kai, you think that I have a choice? The ritual starts tonight! After Daniel finishes his work it's over"
"Daniel?"
"Slaughter house, I'd prefer to be there than here" Then Jenna screams and damn I get stabbed.
