Elements: Four Seasons

King Kai pov

I heard about a possible alliance. They are really stupid to think they can defeat me, Kai Zale. I have the blood of The Sea God running through my veins. And now that I know for sure who killed my wife there's nothing to stop me.

While Zefir was on this so secret meeting with the Earth and Fire Kings, I sent some of my warriors to give them a warning. Nothing big.Just something to remember him who am i.

The Fire Kingdom will fall. I already destroyed more than a quarter of their lands.

Now is time to give the others a lesson they won't forget! They should have stayed out of this. But now they will see what I can do.

"Aalto! Prepare the warriors! We will attack those stupid mutts on Farys coronation. You know how I like a good party! We should personally give the new king our gift!"

"Of course, Your Majesty! I'm on it! How many warriors should we take this time?"

"One thousand should be enough! The rest will remain to keep safe our Kingdom. Not that someone will dare attack us" I said grinning.

I will give those bastards what they deserved.

King Zefir pov.

"There is no way they have known we weren't here! "I said to my son. That crazy king attack us when we were in the Earth Kingdom. It can't be a coincidence.

Out of nowhere to attack us! We stayed out of this war for so long.

I knew the time for us to fight will come. I was just hoping it won't be that soon.

"What if there is someone that helped him, father? "

I looked at my son's face. For his age, he is quite calculated. He might be right.

"A traitor you say? "I asked narrowing my eyes.

"Yes! This is the only way he could find out we were there. Because I think that is the reason for his attack! Otherwise, why he didn't attack before? I think he wanted to be a warning for us to stay out of his way."

"You are right Farys! Now that I heard it out loud, I know it is true. But who will betray us? "

"This I don't know father! But we should find out! Sooner the better! I will ask my most trusted warriors to take care of this! And we also should put more warriors at the borders! I know he won't stop at anything now! He declared war on us the moment he attacked our Kingdom. "

"I know son...I know! "I said sighing.

........

"Alizeh!My love! Is everything alright? I shouldn't have left you here alone! Forgive me, my Queen! "I said kissing my wife's hands and cheeks.

"Oh, Zefir! Always so dramatic! I'm fine! Nothing happened to me! But I'm worried about our people, my King! If the war comes our way, many will die! We need to take action before this happen !" she said worriedly.

"We will, my love! We will! After Farys coronation a meeting will be held! Fire and Earth Kings will be here!"

"Cyra Cyrus son will come here?" she asked in excitement.

"Yes, my Queen! Blaze and Enya Cyrus will come to our son coronation! I can tell he looks just like Uri!"

"So exciting! can't wait to meet them!"

Clapping her hands and with a huge smile, she added "I'll start the preparations! We need so many rooms for so many important guests! Oh, Goddess! I'm gonna die from too much excitement! "

I laughed at my wife attitude. Sometimes she is like a teenager who just falls in love for the first time.

"Father, everything is done! Zeru will take care of the traitor problem so we can prepare for the coronation and have this meeting done with! There are around five hundred warriors at the northern border now. That should be enough to keep the enemies out in case of an attack. "

"That's very good son! You'll make a great King! I'm so proud of you Farys!"

There are 3 days left till the coronation day! I'm happy and worried at the same time.

Happy for my son, Farys, and because I'll get to see my daughter and my niece, as when I went there I didn't get the chance to see my niece at all, and I just spoke with my daughter for few minutes only.

I worried because there can be an attack at any moment now. And with a traitor between us, is hard to be ready enough!

I pray to God to keep my people safe! I'm still thinking if we should agree to this alliance or not. But from what I can see, we won't have a choice.

I went to the dining room, where my wife and son were waiting for me!

"Son...I know we talked about this before. And I don't want you to feel under pressure or taking a forced decision, but I would like you to think about what I said to you a while ago! "I said in an almost pleading voice.

"Father there is nothing to think about! I told you before! "

"Son, I know is hard. But a King with no Queen can be weak ."

"No, father! Please don't ask me to do that! What if I find my Alter, father? What then?What if I marry someone who I shouldn't just to have a Queen that didn't deserve the title, and then meet my true love, my fated? "

"But son.."

"What father? I'm too old? I'm 37 I know! But I will wait three lives for her if I needed! I will renounce my birthright! I won't be King with a false Queen on my side. The only one that I will share my bed and my title will be my true Queen!" he said "Excuse me now! I'll go to my room. I'll see you tomorrow morning! My King, My Queen! " Bowing his head in my direction and kissing his mother hands he left.

Alizeh grabbed my hand trying to calm me down. Not because I was mad at my son's words, but because I understand him. I would have said the same. No one should give up on finding their Alter. Not even a king.
