CHAPTER 5
1312 Words
Luke looked around the court yard amazed at home golden this palace was. He thought back to his own palace and even it wasn’t so coloured with so much gold. Luke hated that he had to make an alliance with these creatures. He was only doing this so he can find something or rather someone. He still loved and hated Kara, if only she has sworn that night to work for him and become his royal consort or concubine none of this would have happen. She and her undying pride, is what pisses him off about her. He would have loved her more than his Queen even if the children they would have had, would never get the throne.
‘My King, it seems like something is picking your brain, can to share the load?’ Queen Amelia questioned her husband as she sipped from her glass. Luke looked at her as he pulled away from his thoughts.
‘It is nothing for you to worry about my Queen’. Luke responded and rose from the chair.
‘Everything involving you worry’s me, have you forgotten you are my husband?’ Amelia pushed further. Luke frown at how persistent she was at times, he was clearly not in the mood to engage in a husband and wife conversation. She needs to remember they are here for diplomatic matters.
‘I am a King before I am your husband. I will say it again it is nothing you need to worry about’. Luke said and turned to speak to the Valkyrie guard.
‘When will the royal family be gracing us with their presence?’ Luke asked.
‘Soon, your King Luke’. The guard said not giving off and comfort not that Luke needed it. He too had his guards protecting him, plus he always has an ace up his sleeve. In the distance 11 figures were making their way to where Luke and the Queen were seated with their refreshments. As the figures drew closer, Luke noticed everyone had 1 guard besides one person, perhaps he is the crown Prince. Luke held his breathe as he spotted Kara behind the man he concluded to be the crown Prince. She looked fierce and even more beautiful than before.
Luke saw her look at him, yet she averted her eyes. His search has finally come to an end because she stood just a few meters away from him, looking edible in her official outfit.
‘Greetings King Luke I am Queen Sanngrior, this is King Svipul, Prince Gunner and Princess Eir and finally our crown Prince Brynhildr ‘. The Queen said.
‘It is a pleasure to meet you royal family’. King Luke said looking happier than earlier.
‘It indeed is a joyous occasion, because today the future of two kingdoms will be decided here’. Queen Amelia said smiling brightly at the royal family.
‘Spoken like a true Queen, you are the Queen, yes?’ Prince Brynhildr said taking Queen Amelia’s hand in his and kissing it. Amelia giggled at this gesture.
‘Yes I am the Queen’. Amelia said receiving an unpleasant glare from her husband. Kara stood still as a statue refusing to look at Luke because she could feel his disgusting eyes on her. Both royal families finally decided to take their seats at the table, the guards stood behind their chairs standing guard.
‘It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance Queen Amelia, you are ever so beautiful’. Prince Brynhildr said making the Queen turn blood red on her cheeks.
‘Stop Brynhildr can’t you see you are embarrassing the Queen’. Queen Sanngrior said.
‘It’s alright he is a charmer, Queen Sanngrior’. Amelia said sounding ever so sweet and innocent. Luke on the other hand stopped bothering to listen to their conversation, because his vision was still fixed on Kara. Gunner on the other side of the table seemed to notice this and it somehow annoyed him. Luke later snapped out of his thoughts and jumped back into the conversation. Refreshments came and went and finally it was time to sign the document for the alliance between the two Kingdoms.
King Svipul signed the document first, his wife second, crown Prince third and then Amelia and Luke last. Luke stood up and so did King Svipul and the shook hands firmly.
‘This will be the greatest alliance known in history’. Luke said smiling with triumph.
‘It indeed will be, I look forward to our further interactions and projects as allies. I f there is anything that you need our help with please don’t hesitant to let us know especially if we can assist you’. King Svipul said smiling at Luke.
Luke smiled wickedly and turned his body fully towards Kara, ‘Kara my dear how have you been?’
Kara lifted her head and proudly stared at Luke, ‘Wouldn’t you want to know your royal asshole’. Kara said smirking back at him. The faces around the table all looked shocked at this.
‘How dare you speak like that to a King?’ Amelia said standing up furiously from her chair.
‘He is your King not mine’. Kara said still looking at Luke and not moving a muscle.
‘Kara what is going on here?’ Prince Brynhildr asked looking completely lost.
‘It is none of your busy Brynhildr and I’ve had enough of you and your stupid nagging’. Kara said face turning angry.
‘How dare you speak to the Prince that way? Do you think because you are nobility you have the right to speak that way to him?’ King Svipul said finally standing up as a man and a King. His wife looked up at him smiled in approval and stood up herself to assess Kara closely.
‘Well who knew that the puppet King actually had balls?’ Kara said laughing and stepping away from the table. She looked at her friend Sigrun and sadly smiled at her.
‘I’ve never like you Kara, ever since you step foot on this soil’. Queen Sanngrior said looking upset.
‘Kara what’s going on?’ Prince Gunner said attempting to walk towards Kara, yet she moves further away from his hold.
‘Stop, don’t touch me. You are one of them’. Kara said positioning herself in fighting mode.
‘Well this is going better than I expected. So Kara you didn’t tell them that your mother is a witch? Which makes you a half breed?’ Luke said laughing and clapping his hands together.
‘What! How dare an impure being walk on my land?’ Queen Amelia shouted and continued added, ‘Guards capture that creature. She deserves to be exterminated immediately’.
‘Woah your Majesty, hold on I need to clear something with Kara. Is it time to begin our game Kara?’ Luke said smirking evilly. Princess Eir remained quiet as she knew that it was not her place to judge Kara. She liked Kara and didn’t hold and form of resentment to half breeds.
‘Its game on Luke, I will make you regret looking for me’. Kara said as she unclipped the royal guard cape, removing her helmet and leaving her with her armour and wings spreading out.
‘Enough of these games, guards get her’. Queen Sanngrior shouted. Sigrun stepped forward slowly nodding at Kara.
‘Captain you are to be detained under the orders of the Queen’. Sigrun said sounding disappointed and broken.
‘I don’t plan to wait around to see that’. Kara clicks a button on her dagger and it grew into a long staff with a sharp point at the top.
‘We will fight you’. Sigrun said bringing out her sword as she moved closer to Kara with the other guards behind her.
‘Then it is war I shall give you’. Kara said and leaped from the ground towards Sigrun.
