HE ISN'T READY

WEDDED TO THE KING

( He's cruel but she is crazy )

Chapter 14

**Somewhere in another Kingdom**

Call me Marcel. King Leon said rubbing his forehead.

He has been working tirelessly, preparing for the war.

You called for me, Your Majesty. Marcel said and bowed.

Marcel, how's the preparation? He asked.

What preparation, Sire? Marcel asked.

For war with the Kingdom of Athopa? He asked again.

It's... It's, uhm Your Majesty. They people are scared, they women are afraid to let their husband go to this war.

It's a death sentence, they said.

Hmph, what should we do? King Leon asked.

But Your Majesty. History and gossips has it that, it wasn't the Kingdom of Athopa who invaded us. It was other neighbouring village.

Lies, it's all lies. King Leon rasped.

Those are rumors, it was the Kingdom of Athopa who did it.

Our informant said so. He said again

But, Your Majesty. The Kingdom of Athopa only goes to war when it's necessary.

Invading our small village? I don't think they did that. Marcel said.

You're just afraid Marcel, but I assure you. We will win this war.

Now, set the troops in order and wait for my command. King Leon said and walked out.

God, this man surely wants to kill them all...

**Kingdom of Athopa**

His hands wrapped around her, was the only thing that mattered.

She clung to his body, resting her head on his chest.

They stood like that for minutes, till he pull away..

It's a beautiful view but you're more beautiful. Her eyes widened at his words, her cheek reddened.

Thank you. She said.

She turned and looked at the view in front of her..

She had always loved waterfall. The rocks, the water, the flower by the sides, the green fresh trees.

Mother nature gave it, it's very best.

How's the view? Your Highness. Kali asked.

It's amazing Kali, it's amazing. Lara said smiling.

Kali smiled, she's happy that are Princess is happy. This is something that rarely comes.

Princess, let's draw. Kali said and brought out a paper.

Kali, you're always prepared. Lara said walking slowly to Kali.

King Nicklaus stood there, looking at this woman who's making him go soft.

There she was giggling and laughing with her maid as if they were two best friends.

He closed his eyes and opened them again..

Is he ready to see the bright side, to see the light she's offering?

He shook his head in denial.

No... He isn't ready..
