Chapter 3 Settling

He looked down at me and saw the terrified look in my eyes as I tried to crawl away from his gaze but he just closed his eyes and took a deep breathe before finally speaking again" Sorry to scare you, are you okay my lady " I again nodded fear still clear in my face. "If you don't mind, I would like to take you home.

King Carson has ordered that I bring you to the Palace. I just looked at him for a while before standing up right and cleaning myself up "Thanks for your help again" he just smiled at me before holding out his hand" How are we going to get back to the Palace, the chariot was destroyed" I asked confused after taking his hand but he didn't reply and drew me into his embrace and wings came out of his back and we flew off into the night sky.

I clutched onto him as I felt my feet lift off the floor. After ten minutes of flying, we landed inside the Palace safely, i looked around and saw guards charging at us until they noticed his wings and withdrew their weapons" I might not be able to stop my men the next time you fly in here like that" a man in an armor said walking towards us " Then they may not be able to see the next day, sorry for flying in like that but his majesty sent me to retrieve his bride" he said pointing towards me and all eyes and heads turned towards me " what can I say, his majesty has eyes for great things" the man in the armor said eying me hungrily " I wouldn't advise you do that Callum, the king will rip your head if he catches you looking at her like that" he said with a calm yet threatening voice" I'm Callum, the army general it's nice to meet you" he said as he took my hands and kissed my knuckles " Nice to meet you too General Callum" I said as he let go of my hand" You might as well want to take her to meet him" he said towards the silver hair man.

I walked slowly following my saviour who seemed to be calm but yet emitted this dark aura that sent shivers down my spine, we walked through a hallway and came to a stop when we neared a big brown door" Are you ready, my lady?" I nodded and he opened the door walking in before me, I looked around the large throne room that was painted lavender and green. The floor had a large red carpet covering the whole floor and also a long table with chairs at three sides except the side that faced the king.

Walking further into the room, he raised his head from the scroll he was looking into" Oh look who we have here" all the others suddenly turned looking towards me and my saviour" Greetings my king" he said and bowed slightly" I have already told you to stop the whole formality, haven't I" he smiled." I would like to introduce you all to my second wife, Nyx, she's the last daughter and child of the King of Maebeth" he said pointing towards me.

They all looked at me disgusted due to my dirty and torn wedding dress" There was an attacked on the chariot that was supposed to bring her here" the silver hair man said before looking down at me and smiling" Where are my manners, General Tanus this is Asmodeus my guardian angel" the king said with a devilish smile on his face and immediately scared the general whose face had turned from disgust to fear" So back to business, Berith has decided war against us, right?" The king said after seeing the scared looking in the general's face. Berith is the new and current king of Shubael.

Shubael was one of the hidden kingdoms in the world but after the previous King died it has not stopped showing off its power. "Please take her to her Chambers then come back would you?" The king asked with a sly smile on his face " Anything for you Carson" he said playfully "So kind of you Desy" he said then motioned for him to leave.

I walked behind Asmodeus silently and we suddenly stopped in front of a green door and he opened it and I walked into a green painted room with a green carpet, a big bed layed with green bedsheets, another small green door which I assumed led to bathroom, another transparent door which led to an indoor garden and window blinds green in colour. "Get comfortable, his highness might come here tonight to consummate the marriage "he said clearly getting uncomfortable at my silence.

He left after showing me around and a maid quickly came in and started getting everything ready for me " I have set up a warm bath for you my lady" the maid said after bringing out a dress for me from the closet "What is your name " I said finally feeling free, the maid looked at me shocked at my question "Lydia my lady" she answered feeling uneasy" Are you my personal maid" I asked hoping that I'll be able to make a friend out of this whole situation "No my lady, I am just the assistant maid. Your personal maid will be here later, she's having a chat with the king."

I looked at her clearly disappointed face "As the owner of this chamber, I hereby make you my personal maid " I said firmly. She smiled and said " It would be my great honour and I promise to serve you with truth, respect, regard, kindness and honesty " I smiled as she swore her loyalty to me.

I took a quick and refreshing bath and immediately laid down on the bed but started getting bored. I called Lydia but instead another maid walked in" What can I help you with my lady" she ask closing the door behind her "Sorry I called for my personal maid "I said but she looked at confused me before finally speaking "I am your personal maid" she said confusion clear in her voice" Oh you must be Ylva, I sent for Lydia she's my new personal maid you're the assistant " I said firmly without flinching.

She quickly looked down at her hands and said " I will get her for you my lady" I looked at her and saw the hurt and disappointed look on her face " You know that it is possible to have two personal maids" she quickly looked up and smiled at me brightly " It would be my honor to serve you my lady" I smiled at her suddenly feeling sleepy " Don't worry, you are free to go I would like to rest.
