returning of the queen's knight.

As she realised that she was awake and it's not one of her dreams, hugged him back squeezed her eyes in an excitement a hint of excitement passed throw her eyes as he was pressing her against his strong shoulders.

He cast smile as he whispered unclear thing in her ear she looked up at him confused, held her breath as she reached out to stroke his chin.

Laura"I thought I killed you."

He let out a loud chuckle that nearly made guards awake, he rolled his eyes in reaction to her sentence then bite her ear softly.

Robert"I can't die, Im, a vampire, did you forget that? you only killed the soul sucker part."

He informed her about the whole story that had passed, all about his burial and the fact that guards didn't bury him and left as they hear the were wolfs's sounds.

So he was there for a few days until a soul sucker hunter found him and rescued him from apparent death. So Robert was alive, and he returned to his queen.

Laura looked down embarrassed"I married"

she confessed as she didn't get any reactions from him. Hearing this he raised an eyebrow stayed in silence.

Laura got annoyed raised an eyebrow mirroring him "you didn't get surprised?"

Robert chuckled that made Laura even more annoyed. As Robert notice, his precious lover is annoyed shrugged and added.

Robert "I get used to this situation; you never stayed with me."

he pouted innocently stocking her lengthy hair, leaned in for a kiss ignoring her frown,

Laura"You can't just kiss me!" she snapped annoyed, Robert never really cared about being noticed by anyone, he was a brave muscular man that nothing could stop him from showing his feelings for the queen,

Robert"apparently I do" she smirked as he leaned in for another deep kiss, Laura pushed him away as Princess and Brishen appeared in front of them.

Brishen" you? I thought you are dead!" he said as he learned that his precious enemy is alive again.clenched his fists in anger really eager to kill him or himself not to see him anymore.

Robert chuckled didn't reply, but Laura gave Brishen a death glare, Princess furrowed her brows.

Princess " what now?" she asked annoyed didn't want to listen to Laura.

Laura stepped away from Robert turned around the Princess proudly, now it was her turn to show the little brat the real power of a queen.

Laura "You are coming with me, you'll do whatever I say, eat whatever I say and sleep whenever I say" she grabbed her arm, pulled her towards her to whisper against her ear.

Laura" until the time comes that you must die for your queen."

She pulled away faced everyone was watching her with widening eyes and dry mouth she enjoyed to affect on people like that, but there was no time for bragging or threatening they had to get going before the guards notice them or some of them get awake.

Robert"Im coming with you" he commanded eagerly although Brishen didn't want him to join them in this trip, he never trusted him.

Laura let him join then as she disappeared under her cloak, Robert lifted the princess and climbed the wall and disappeared Brishen was watching them leaving let out a loud sigh then without saying another word climbed the fence and followed Robert to the other side of the wall.

In the other side of the world, Cordelia who was still sad and mad at her father for not giving her company in this dangerous trip and let her go brutally while he decided to stay in his room like a scared brat waiting for his death. She rode onto the north where she had to find her uncle and Noah for the help.

They were riding to nowhere passing throw the villages and cities that Delora's army wasn't there yet. After a few weeks depending, she found a horse that was drinking from the river and a man who was sleeping on the grass near a tall tree. Narrowed her eyes as she noticed her uncle was sitting beside the man drinking and watching the stars.

Cordelia"did I send you to watch stars or get Noah?"

She snapped angrily as Brayton stood up on his feet and wiped his mouth.

Brayton"oh Cordelia!what are you doing here? I was that late that you gathered an army came to find me?" he asked proudly as he was examining her figure up and down, she didn't seem so happy about his joke folded her arms against her chest stared at him in silence.

Cordelia "we are under attack and my father doesn't want to help" she nagged rolled her eyes in disgust before adding, "I thought he would be braver than this"Brayton let out a disappointed sigh, but he was wiser than Cordelia he could realise that would be a reason for this.he never judged anyone without knowing them.

Cordelia shrugged "he abandoned us "she outed innocently but didn't have any plans to cry in front of him. Brayton laid his arms on her shoulders as he was gazing in her eyes kindly.

Brayton" he is an older man, Im sure he has good reason for this otherwise, Arthur never abandons his family I'm sure of it."

Cordelia"You don't know that you are not his proper brother."

She issued starting into his eyes directly without expression in her blue eyes, Brayton coughs to not say any rude words to her, then nodded politely as he didn't want to hurt her more.

Brayton"still Arthur is the best son of Laura, everyone knows that, if he weren't there, your mother would be dead long before she gets to be queen."

With this Cordelia gave him a stern glare but didn't reply, she ordered to the army to get rest then got back to Brayton.

Cordelia"I need you in this battle, Hamo is getting Mainlan under his control, and Delora is getting closer to the Mainland at every moment, I need a plan and a proper army, at least bigger than this." she demanded with a low voice her uncle listened carefully sat in the grass offered her some drink that she refused.

Brayton"Laura is with Hamo?" He asked saying the word mother was hard for him; it's not like she was a proper mother to him anyway, so he decided to not call her mother not until the end of the world.

Cordelia sat beside him shrugged "I guess she is coming, I didn't get to talk to her before she pushed me out of the window to let my father now about the attack" she was playing with the soft grass under her tiny fingers as Brayton was watching their movement like a dance under the soft grass, his eyes froze there for few moments before holding her hand.

Brayton "you are cold."

He claimed as he offered his coat, it wasn't a glorious coat; still, it could keep her warm. Cordelia accepted his offer and wore the brown and old jacket, although it was torn and dusty, her hair was shinning above it like a sun that shines above the sands. Brayton cast a smile on his face; however, toon it turned to a frown when he noticed a movement between the bushes.

"What is it?" Cordelia asked staring at Brayton's face, he never frowned before since Cordelia met him, Brayton stood up on his feet grabbed a tiny stick that was the nearest weapon to him, Cordelia was still confused as she didn't notice the movements.

Brayton walked slightly onto the bushes as she stood up on her feet. Cordelia dragged her magical dagger from her belt followed Brayton as she noticed the unusual movements in there, she felt something weird was happening her heart was pounding daft and her palms coated with sweat she wanted to call for the army. Still, they were far away from her and Brayton.

She heard something hissed there, a dark snake comes out of the bushes, and in front of Brayton's eyes it spun around Cordelia hapilly, she shrieked in fear Brayton hit the snake with the steak but it caused the stick to break. Cordelia was shouting for help as casting whatever spells that she knew, Brayton jumped on the tick, and dark snake tried hard to let it lose its grip from Cordelia Brayton yelled for help.

Few magicians noticed them ran onto them one of them threw a silver sword onto Brayton as he took it in the middle of the air, the snake was hissing in anger and moving quickly to the right and left to let him slip from its body. Still, Brayton was too strong he grabbed it firmly as he pushed the sword to throw the rough skin of the snake, magicians cast a spell and turned the snake to a demon with long black hair and narrowed eyes.

He didn't look like a royal; he was a farmer or something due to his tick hands. Cordelia grabbed her magical dagger from the ground pointed at him with a hint of revenge in her eyes at this time Brayton held her from her back and whispered something unclear, the beast smirked turned onto a snake ran onto the bushes.

Cordelia" they know we are here."

Brayton nodded, and the magician army gathered around them as Cordelia took a deep breath and put her dagger back under her belt.
