"you came back."she whispered still shocked and he smiled.
She shook her head in disagreement,"you shouldn't be here."she said standing to look around,at that moment she didn't wish to see his getting thrown into the dungeon, not because of her,yes she has wished to see him but she didn't actually know that he would come back and how did he get through the gates and where were all the guards?
He took her hand and drew her back to the bench.
"I have come to take you with me."he said and she noticed that there was a change in his appearance,his clothes were different from the what is he usually wore and quite different from what her eyes were used to,he was dressed in a white tunic of the finest silk and we'll fashioned breeches of black colour,his hair was style to the back , with not one strains out of place,he looked more like the prince in her dreams.
"Where?"
"Magadon."he answered.
"Where is that?"she asked,this was the first time she was hearing of a place like that.
"My home,I would answers all your questions once we get there but right now we don't have enough time."he said looking around,the spell was about to wear out.
"I can't just leave with you,my father-"she made to say.
"Wants you married off to someone else,I can't take chances."he said urging her to follow him.
"How did you know that?"she asked a little more than alarmed,he hadn't been around and there was no way he would have known,or was someone leaking information of the castle?,or maybe he had seen them near the theater?
"It doesn't matter right now."he said as he looked around cautiously.
"And what are you looking for?"she asked following his line of sight.
He looked back at her.
"That is not the point,this is the only chance I might get to take you with me."he intoned.
"But my mother and sister-"
"I promise you would come back to them,but right now,I can't let you get married to Irvin."he said and she still looked reluctant, he cupped her face with both hands.
"Do you love me?"he asked and she nodded.
"And you trust me?"he asked again.
"With my life."she responded without hesitation.
"Then come with me."he said and she nodded.they stood and just as they made to go a guard came into sight ,then two and three.
"They wouldn't let us through."Trice said as the guards approached them, probably to know who Darion was as they didn't see him get into the castle.
"We don't need them to."he said grabbing her hand as they ran in the other direction of the woodlet.
"Stop!!!!"one of the guards said as they ran after them.
They hid by a tree with Trice secured in his arms and her face buried into his chest,then he raised his hand and swirled it as green dust like particles twirled around his fingers and the branches grew longer with it's leaves, covering them from the sight of the guards and just as they ran past them he waved his hand again and it went back to it's normal form.
"Let's go."he whispered to Trice who still had her face buried in his chest and she looks up at him and nodded.
"Take my hands."he told her and she did.
"Close your eyes."he said again.
"Why?"she asked.
"Just do it, I'll explain later."he whispered and she nodded and everything went blank.
Ivor climbed into a room through it's window,and walked to it's bed,he had excellent night vision so he could make out one object from another.
"Roman."he called and he woke up just immediately to sit up and look at him, lighting a candle beside him he looked up at Ivor to see he was wet and covered in blood,he closed his eyes running his hand through his hair he stood from the bed.
"I'll get them to make you a bath."he said and Ivor nodded.
He was rather sober now, back to normal, he would have returned back to Thrianna but he was covered in blood and didn't want to make her scared of him,it didn't matter when people were but she was the one person in this world he would rather be nice and gentle with.
"What happened?"Roman asked when he was done wearing the clothes prepared for him.
"I got angry."he said plainly, walking towards the window and opening it,he looked out for a while before he climbed out.
"Figured that much."Roman muttered going over to the window and tried locking it up but it was no use, Ivor had already broken the lock on his way in,he sighed walking back to his bed,he would fix that up in the morning.
Thrianna lay on the bed but she couldn't quite get herself to sleep,she didn't eat cause she had lost her appetite for food, and she felt really cold,she wrapped the blanket around herself facing the door with her eyes open,she felt so bad, what was she supposed to say to him?,she couldn't quite understand her situation,she wasn't supposed to be thinking of him and whether he thought bad of her,in fact she was meant to be happy he thought bad of her because she has finally proven how bad of a queen she would be,she clutched the blanket with her palm and released, tossing the blanket aside she strolled to the window and opened it,she had meant to look find a clearer view of the stars, mother had said that as long as the stars were in the sky,she would never feel cold, she'ld always be warm but she was welcomed with a cold blast of air that made her close it immediately, maybe there weren't enough stars in Nightfalls,clutching her robe tight,she walked to the fire place and added some more wood and used the fire iron to put it in place and it burned brighter and filled the room with a little more warmth.
She walked to the window of the patio and just stared,she didn't go through it,she stood there clutching her robe,after a while she heard the door of the room open and close then she turned to see him walk into the room,he walked steadily towards her,she just stood there in her white night rode as the moon cast a shadow over her body,she was curved in all the right places,her hair was let down to cascade down her back,she looked like a moon goddess,he walked slowly over to her while she just stood there watching him.
He had thought she would have been asleep by now,why was she awake?,he walked over to her and he heard her heart skip several beats,great lords,she was scared of him,it was clearly written on her face,there was this mixture of fear and guilt he didn't want that.
He looked absolutely stunning,on his white cotton shirt and breeches,his button was left undone just at the top revealing a part of his broad chest, something she should be used to but still, she felt her cheeks heat up,for the first time since she met him his hair was ruffled and he looked more like a prince charming than an overbearing king,where had he been?
"I'm so sorry,I didn't mean to leave."she said looking down to the floor,she couldn't make eye contact with him, he got closer to her,he took her right hand,they were trembling,it was a wonder she wasn't running away from him,he placed it on his shoulder, invading her personal space but she was still too engrossed in her apology to notice their current state until he trailed a finger down her other hand and her breath hitched,she parted her lips to draw in air and he leaned closer.
"I wouldn't try to-"she made to continue but stopped at the registration of their proximity.
"Please don't-"
"Hush."he whispered as his boiled hot in anticipation.
She already felt breathless,he curled his hand around her waist while goosebumps creeped onto her skin and she curled her toes,she tried resist the feeling of wanting what ever he had to offer, it was so wrong to be this close to someone you weren't married to,in fact it was scandalous but that was exactly what she had been doing all this while,one little kiss wouldn't matter, would it?,she shook her head mentally, she couldn't believe she was actually considering it,but she didn't have enough will to push away from him,it felt like she had been resisting for too long, building a wall around her heart but he was just leisurely sitting on those walls and merely displacing the bricks, what was her poor heart supposed to do?
Then he leaned in and as their lips touched she felt her resistance slowly fade away,the alarm bells in her brain turned to mush and the only thing she could feel was him, and the need he showed in just one kiss,his expensive scent of mint and woods filled her nostrils making it hard for her to think properly,he kissed her long and hard like a starved beast and the minute their tongues touched she moaned as she felt her knees grow weak,she gripped onto his shoulder more tightly and he deepened the kiss,after a long while he released her as she took in a load of air,he looked into her eyes, they were slightly dilated and then down to her swollen lip,she tasted much better than he had thought,they looked damp and enticing,he groaned as he rested his head in the nook of her neck and breathed in,she was really addictive.
"Little imp, you would be the death of me."
