KING AT 'THEIR' COST.

CHAPTER FOUR.

“Do you know what I wish sometimes on a rainy day?” His voice was gentle, sombre and melancholy, the little girl shook her head curiously as she looked up at him expectantly, it was a beautiful garden, full of flowers, trees and merry birds, the atmosphere was serene, solace reigning supreme, he was no doubt a new adult however his face carried childish estacy, his eyes dark memories, he lovingly ran his hands through her pink hair “I wish that someday a huge rain resulting to a flood will happen and the floods will carry both of us to a faraway garden…faraway from all the ugliness and blood…the both of us…” his eyes glimmed dreamily, “But…older brother…what if the flood takes us to somewhere worse, or we encounter sharks in the water or eels or even demon eels, I heard their generated from dark witchery and the wounds impacted never heal…”, he embraced her gently “Never mind all that rubbish…we’ll be together and I’ll always protect you…call my name and I’ll run to protect my adorable little sister…” he teased her cheeks and she giggled…the memory faded as Sakïa pondered “Can you run now brother?” , she woke up with a gasp, to see Arthur’s smiling face “You…!” She spat out in anger whilst grabbing him by the scruff of his collar “Easy there Sakïa…I mean, your chasing me also doubles as a lovely outing to refresh your skin through suntan…” Sakïa glared at him “Do you have any idea the numerous monstrosities that exist there?” She pointed shakily at the bough of huge forest trees, the area known as ‘The Dark Hoarde’ “Not even I and my men accepted to go there…the beasts and…” She paused “… those bloody witches…” The Most Valid Hostess was now facing her squarely, they were both only obstructed by Arthur’s presence, the atmosphere instantly altered tense, “And this is that impeccable tout, shameless mafian rogue?” She feigned ignorance of Sakïa’s presence rudely, and poutingly questioned Arthur, Arthur grinned gaily “…And I suppose that this is the demonically fiendish partner you chatted me on earlier…”, The two women questioningly and simultaneously turned to Arthur who, in their center looked rather pathetic, suddenly Arthur began to laugh, his chuckles were a rather nastily sharp contrast to the present atmosphere, now the women’s expressions were quizzical, “Come on darlings!” He embracingly cuddled both of them “We’re real family… let’s not fight each other…” His eyes were thoughtful, Sakïa sulkingly pushed him away, and the other woman simply slithered from his grasp as a shadow would, Arthur smiled satisfactorily as he chattily questioned Sakïa’s men who obliviously stared at the happenings “Don’t you think my wives are amazing?” the men nodded “Right?...now my real family… it’s about time we introduced ourselves I am Arthur-Therease… your husband and King to be, that’s all there is to it… this is Sakïa…” he motioned to Sakïa, the Most Valid Hostess shrugged indifferently, “Sakïa, this is Yalya…” Sakïa folded her hands arrogantly “One big happy family…” Arthur grabbed them to himself forcefully, “Together, I’ll surely become king!”
