CHAPTER FIVE;Tamed by love

Lady charlotte swiftly sent aria to get hot water,aria hurriedly ran to the royal kitchen, her feet pounding on the floor.

Meanwhile lady charlotte remained in the royal chambers of lord nigel watching anxiously as the royal physician tended to his wounds.the air was thick with tension,the only sound heard in the room was the instruments of the royal physician and lord nigel slow breathing.

Aria hastened to the kitchen to get the hot water as she got to the royal kitchen.she caught two girls gossiping in hushed tones.they quickly fell silent as soon as they saw her.she fetched the hot water and hurried back to lord Nigel's chambers.

Inside the physician administered medications and tended to lord Nigel's wound .as soon as the royal physician was done he exited the room with lady charlotte tailing behind.

She stood in the room waiting for lady's charlotte return.

Aria's POV

I stared down at the sleeping figure of lord nigel. Who the hell created this guy,despite his lips turning pale blue and the sweat drenched hair plastered to his face.he still looked hot

I snapped out of reality when i heard Lord Nigel's weak voice

Wa..ter!

I quickly rushed to a nearby jug,and fetched the water,as I tried to help him drink,lord Nigel snapped weakly at me and with force the cup shattered leaving me dumbfolded and shocked.

The door burst open and lady charlotte rushed in..Lord nigel head fell back to the pillow,he was exhausted

"What happened?"

Lady Charlotte asked at the same time checking on lord nigel

I explained everything to her, she sighed

Lord Nigel's voice came up again asking for water

I hope he dies of thirst, I wished bitterly

Lady Charlotte fetched some water with a new cup from the jug I had taken water earlier.

I watches as she helped lord nigel up..and slowly he began to sip, I stood watching.. I get it now!

Lady Charlotte helped him sit up when she was sure he had maintained his balance ,she let him be

Lord Nigel's gaze swept the room and finally landed on me

"You!" He pointed "who let you out??" He demanded

Ok what is going on

"I did" lady charlotte defended trembling slightly " I had the guards realeased her because of the urgency of your injury"!

Lord Nigel's expression darkened "who are you to defy my orders??...I did not give permission for her release!" He thundered

"Guards!"

I fell to my face immediately begging and crying,his face soften a little

" get out of my face"

Without any delay I hurried out of the room

Davina POV

I snapped my head towards my father " what did you say?"I demmaned but he ignored my and walked away.

I rushed across the room as I scrambled to get dressed. Mother's voice stopped me

"Davina where are you going"

"To see lord nigel" I replied not looking back

Mother's voice rose in concern " but Davina the last time you went to see him,you were injured!

I spun around with determination in my eyes

" that's because I didn't approach him correctly.." I said firm "this time would be different."

With that I dashed out leaving mom worried cries behind

********************************************

King maric POV

I paced around the throne room feeling restless,I knew nigel wouldn't die,although he wasn't an imortal,but his powers seem limitless that even death appears to fear him

I couldn't deny the fact that fear grip me,whenever I thought of what nigel is capable of doing

Nigel had survived several attacks, i decided to try a new trick which was using poision on him,it was one of the deadliest poison.. No doubt nigel would survive that

My eyes scanned the room,I didn't know what to do I was running out of options..then a cunny smile spread across my face

"I need an ally"I muttered to myself " someone who can bring nigel down completly.

I summoned my scribe and began dictating a letter to king ryker ,the kingdom of valtania..a land known for it's ruthless warriors and dark magic..it was a far away land, but i was desperate..

If anyone could help him defeat nigel,it was king ryker.

The letter of proposal,an offer of aliance against an enemy,together we could launch a joint attack on nigel..I wrote in the letter as I sealed it with hope.

I sent for my messenger

"Send it to king ryker"

Let's see if he is willing to join hands with me as we bring down the terror king.

Aria's POV

I stood not far from the Lord's chambers incase I was been called upon,suddenly I heard hastinly footsteps.I turned my head to see who it was

It was a beautiful lady dressed classy..

I stepped forward " are you heading to the Lord's chambers??

The lady snapped her head towards me " and how is that your concern??

I stood my ground. "Lady charlotte asked me to ensure no one disturbs lord Miguel,she said.."I was still talking when a thunder slap landed on my left cheek, I held my check immediately with the pain running across my head

" you think you can stop me you poor lowly maid,now listen to me..I will be married to the lord soon and as soon as that happens, I will make sure the lord punishes you.

Davina s eyes blazed with possessiveness " he is mine and mine alone,nobody is taking him away from me!!!!

Then a low familiar voice ran across the corridor making us shiver.

" YOURS???" lord Nigel's voice was weak but unmistakable.
