Chapter 2 The sacrifice

I Woke up the next morning feeling light-headed from all the crying last night. My dad walked in before the maid and I sat up almost immediately" Greetings Your Mayesty" I said looking worriedly as he didn't reply but waved his hand for the maid to leave us.

After a few minutes of silence, he finally spoke" I'm marrying you off to Carson king of Mauretania Caesarea" he spat out avoiding to meet my gaze. My heart dropped immediately as I analysed what he just said and simply stated" I won't if it isn't for a good reason" he looked up at me confused at my words and then said" I want to form an alliance if I am going to win this fight against Damon and I want to avenge my sons who died because of him" his tone was harsh with hurt clear in it.

" Then I am willing to do it " I said blankly. Dad told to me prepare for the wedding which is to take place in a month.

I nodded and he stood up and walked out happy with my reply and commitment to the kingdom, if only he knew I was doing it for my brothers who died in the hands of that beast.A month later, I dressed up in a golden dress and wore jewellery matching my dress except my hairband which complimented my eyes and also with an emerald green glass shoe and I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled.

I walked down the stairs gracefully and all heads turned towards me as I descended the flight of stairs. On my way down, I stepped on my gown and i felt myself falling and suddenly I felt hands around my waist and I looked into a pair of silver eyes and I was stunned and started feeling hypnotised before the strange man suddenly snapped and pulled me back up and I stood firm and gaze directly at him, he had on an armor that looked like it was made with God's own hand and sword in its stealth coloured silver complimenting his silver hair and eyes "Are you okay" he said snapping me out of my own head" Yes thank you for your help".

He walked away silently and I hurried and sat close to my new husband and the marriage rites began. Twenty minutes later,he received a letter from his guard and he stood up hastily" I'm afraid I won't be able to stay any longer this in an emergency and it requires my most urgent attention " He said before turning to leave.

After the ceremony, I was asked to go to Mauretania by myself with only a guard that would ride the chariot. I hopped into the chariot and he immediately rode off moving with incredible speed which forced me to get comfortable.

After two hours of riding, it was already dark out but the guard didn't seem bothered by the time at which he was driving. Leaving Numidia, we were on the border between Mauretania and Decresh and suddenly we get thrown off the road by a horserider.

He stopped climbing down from his horse and suddenly yelled" Can't you watch where you're going" the man with his long black hair that was a bit above his shoulder and brown eyes said walking towards us. He was clearly human due to his appearance but he suddenly whistled out loud and horses came out from the shadow as the men hold out their swords ready to fight.

The guard tried settling the problem amicably but got stabbed to death by one of the brown-eyed stranger's men and they started walking towards me and a hungry look appeared on his face as he walked over to where I was. He pulled me out and shoved his hands up my thighs and I screamed out but got slapped across the face and the pain of the slap stinged so badly that I started crying for help.

The man suddenly layed on top of me and tried pulling down my panties but I kicked him in between his legs and he screamed out in pain and I immediately stood up and started running totally forgetting that he had his men around and one jerked me down with his fist and I fell to the ground groaning in pain and he kicked me in the stomach and laughed but suddenly he stopped laughing after realising that all his men had vanished into thin air. The man with the silver hair stepped out of the shadows and grabbed him by the throat and squeezed it until it pulled out of it's socket.

He looked down at with me with flaming red eyes and slowly crouching down to my level" are you okay " he asked but I couldn't speak but just nodded.
