Alpha Aiden and the Desjadiens Conflicts

Some clarifications

Axena had anticipated that being a slave would make the work of serving her new master difficult, but Cinten's tender care for her and the way she looked at her prompted many questions in her.

After they had eaten with the help of the maids in the official chambers, who were different from the ones who made food for the prisoners, Cinten ordered that more of hers be brought to the table and she filled Axena's cup. She was called to the table to eat with her new master, Cinten, and she saw a lot about him that would help her serve him better.

She advised, "Keep drinking." Do whatever you can whenever you can here in Tipotha. irrespective of the cost. You should do it as soon as you can because it might be the last thing you can do on earth. Also," she added, pouring herself a glass of wine. You must do more than just that. You should have fun doing it as well. You would understand what I'm attempting to convey if you have watched Lords dining or f*****g. You will be required to inquire if the king is a horse if you have observed him whoring in his chambers. He would scream and scream and scream and scream and scream. He doesn't know when or why he could be killed, but you know why. With a grin, Cinten said, "So, you too, live, eat, drink, f**k, and do all that you are privileged to do at the moment because it may be the last."

"Can I freely speak? Your lord?" Axena wanted to avoid getting on Cinten's nerves, so she asked when her fear was holding her back from experiencing the thrills of the moment.

"Yes, you are able to. I would be grateful for it. As of right now, whenever we are together, you should act like a personal counselor; however, when we are out in public or when a guest is present, you need to act like who you are to avoid raising suspicions. Do you comprehend?"

"Yeah, lord. Axena said, "Then, I will ask some questions." She stayed a little closer to Cinten and stared into her eyes for a while. Are you currently considering the same thing? That you could die at any time?" Axena inquired, staring into her face.

"Yes. "I have the same thought," replied Cinten.

"Why? Are you all involved with assassins, or have you been drawn into a power struggle that could end at any time? She re-asked.

Axena did as Cinten instructed, drinking.

"It doesn't matter if I'm in a power struggle or not. We removed what appears to be a threat as soon as we discover it in Tipotha. If it can't be removed right away, we start making plans right away and don't stop until we do as we planned or the threat sees through our actions and manages to cut us off. Whatever the outcome, we believe it is the best move for the land's development. The strong are supposed to live, while the weak are supposed to die, no matter where they are; bad or good."

"Are any of them on your death list? And do you know if anyone has a death list for you? Cinten got to her feet and walked toward a shelf in her chamber after Axena asked. She returned to the table after picking up a book. Axena was intrigued by the book's width and wondered what it contained. She noticed when she looked back at the shelf that she had never seen it before while she had been seated there.

"Could you read?" Cinten asked while grabbing her cup.

Axena replied, "I can." There, she started to wonder if that was what her new master's service would be like; to devour books As a result, she suspected that her new master lacked education.

"Good. How are you educated?" Cinten inquired.

"Through a Rebelhood general class. Although challenging, some of us were interested. even when we were just kids. It turned out to be interesting and promising for us later. I was among them. What do you think? Axena responded and asked inadvertently.

"I was educated by a royal family and was taught the character by the lineage of the kingdom's first scholar. To answer your question, I have a long list of people I want to die. She responded, "I can name them without looking in the book because they have been engraved in my heart."

"What did they do that made them deserve to die?"

Cinten responded, "Because they want what I loved to cease to exist."

And what exactly is that? After taking some time to think about it, Axena asked, trying to figure out what it might be that she loved that was in danger.

"My brother, the king, Asten. Numerous individuals desire his position. not only to overthrow him but also to kill him. He is the only reason I am alive and in the capital, so his death would be devastating to me. Axena had been hearing people talk about the king and his position, so she had a different perspective when Cinten said, "I will either lose my head and if I am lucky, I would be banished from the capital." Axena heard Cinten say that.

She had only heard about the plan to either dethrone or kill him, which she would gladly assist with, but she couldn't see herself doing with anyone to save the king. Axena knew that Lixinni would be asked to assist in the coup that would soon bring the king to his death, and she wished that she would be taken with her.

"Do you mean there are some lords in the capital who would like to see the king die?" he inquired. Axena asked even though she already knew the answer.

"Yes. Not only lords, either. These are aristocrats who believe they are entitled to sit on the throne and rule in his place. That will not happen if I sit around. I could also advocate for the throne. I could join the group of people who want to rule by killing the king, but I won't. Asten was the only one who accepted me as a royal birth, not because I was a woman; otherwise, I would have been killed or expelled from the capital. Also, this city was built by Asten. He strengthened us by employing slaves and their abilities, which is how we earned the respect we enjoy today. As I have stated, I will not sit around and watch him lose power to his avaricious brothers, who believe they have a better chance of ruling than he had."

"His siblings? You mean the brothers of the king are responsible for the intended assassination in the ring?" As if she had never heard it before, Axena asked.

"Yes. The captain of the slave's bay is the only person in this city who has the authority to enslave anyone. The dogs weren't just there on their own to perform the task they chose. They were shown how to sneak into the ring and were given weapons. They were given a plan, which was to kill the king and his youngest brother so that the kingdom would only have male royal blood; Buten. He is the one behind everything. There are rumors that Tortem, the younger brother, also has the same mind, but he hasn't been seen plotting, so I don't have a complete death list for him yet. However, I would add him once I see the signs that indicate he poses a threat.

"Doesn't being the chief guard make you, under Buten, the lord of the slave's bay?" Axena inquired.

"The king gave his brother control of the slave's bay, and he still does. Because of this, the king himself handles each and every appointment that takes place in the bay. "Cinten responded, "I answer official orders from the king through the lord of the place, but any orders from the lord must be said to the king before they are carried out."

A messenger came in and bent down in front of Cinten shortly after Cinten made the clarification. He declared, "I have reports."

Cinten said, "Speak," and the guard stood up. The guards stated, "The guards have beaten to death one of the dogs taken into custody in the ring by questioning him."

"Damn!" Cinten yelled, " I was prepared for it. You didn't take your wine as directed. We may be killed now that we are venturing outside. Because of this, you shouldn't waste any time celebrating and having fun.

"Get ten guards ready; we're meeting Buten and going to question the guard who killed the dog."
