Seized Crowned Queen

Episode 13 Stand out

Early in the morning, Queen Zuriel had asked Carshena to prepares her Archery tweed suit. With the help of her servants, Sheila, Ada, Tara and Riza, she wore her thick woolen clothes tag up with a warrior suit and an arrow and a bow. Following by the maid servants, she headed to the courtyard and began shooting the target. She looks like a lady warrior, her beauty stand out, she is ready to change its defensive posture to one prepared for action. Skillful Zuriel knows how defend herself, she has the fierce eyes for battle, she embossed on the surface when she kicked and flew when twirled.

Zuriel practice for three hours including martial arts. From afar Matthan is watcbing her every move. Zuriel is skilled not even the king can defeats her. Kish and him trained her at the age of nine. She had her first hunting at the age of ten. She had killed even the wildest beast at the jungle, she swim like a shark, unnoticed and horseback riding as fast the cheetah. Her father Abiscus trained her to use the sword.

Zuriel, you have to quickens your reflexes, in fighting you have to stand your ground and protect yourself to be hit otherwise you loose. Keep your eyes sharp and do more techniques wisely.  Will resume the day after tomorrow. For now go to your mother and take some rest. Yes father, can I go to the river with Matthan? Alright  no problem, be back before the sunset. Yes father.

Abiscus tribes return to horon, a suburb of dalphoon after the exile. Their loss during the invasion of king Zeba and Zalmun, deepen their urged to revenge but was buried because of Abiscus death and no one attempts to exposed their identity for fear of King Zeba's successor.

Abiscus tribe never bowed to king Zeba's governance and they separate and avoided any rule of law. They just live freely in Horon far away from the Citadel of Carcas which is in the king's palace.

Jair encountered General Gihon during the exile and became his comrade. During the war General Gihon and his army got ambushed in the North of Bashan and Jair was outcast after finding out that the general was still alive with an amputated legs.

Queen Zuriel returned to the king's residence after three hours of practicing archery and martial arts. My lady are you going to take your bath? Yes please. The king was informed about your skills in archery and that you are a great archer. And his majesty is wanting you as his match in the future. It is my great pleasure to match his majesty but pouting her lips she ask Carshena,  how is his majesty shoots an arrow? Carshena touch her lips with her finger, then said, I heard that his majesty is always shoot on bulls eye.  And he never loose in the event games anywhere. Really, do you think I can match up with his majesty? I cannot tell but seeing you practicing awhile ago, theres a chance you win if you flirt on his majesty. Huh what? I am just kidding my lady, don't take it seriously. 

Without the knowledge of Queen Zuriel, King Aram was watching her all along.  My Lord your drinks, what can you say about the queen's defences, Jammal? Jammal, king Aram trusted right hand. The queen's speed is extremely in a very great degree. She flew in the thin air and she kicked vigorously and she  strongly punches so hard. I want you to set a match between me and her. What about her shooting arrows and bows? She is great. She could even take care of herself, she doesn't need soldier to defend herself. Ahm no, she still needs it, I don't allow her go without her guards. I cannot afford to see her hurt or injured at any circumstances. You have to keep an eye for her. Don't let her go alone, that's a command. Yes my Lord I'll keep that in mind. And I want you to spy on her tribes, I want the full details of her family background. I don't think her skills is instant, she probably well trained by someone. How she gotten to be one of the girls in the decree long time ago. Your highness, you have an agreement to the magistrate today at the court regarding minor disputes, we have to go now. Alright, lets go.

My lady what if the king requested you to fight in the presence of the people? No, that is not possible, if I win and his majesty loose, his people might think I'm over his power, I will not tolerate that.  Its embarassing for the king's dignified authority. I am not as capable as you think Carshena, my reflexes are too low to win over his highness, not at this time, not in my wildest dream.

Come on, I want to take rest. Get me dress after my shower, I feel slimy. Do you need Sheila and Ada? No I can do it my own. Just leave my clothes in front of my closet. Can you ask Riza to get me some fruits? Yes my lady, be careful. 

After taking her shower and dressed up, she sat on her bed leaning his back on the bed board, she yawned and fell asleep. Arshena came back with the fruits in her hand but... oh my lady...she's sound asleep, maybe she's so tired Shiela whisper. Yes, take back this fruits in the kitchen, she will ask this again when she wokes up. Alright, call me when she asked again.

After an hour, Zuriel screamed while sleeping... my lady, wake up, your highness wake up...wake up. Zuriel yelled awaken by a mere dream, getting back to her senses, she cried horribly, she felt shock, fear and disgust of her dream. It takes back all what happened that day.

My lady are you alright? Please speak, your highness. Tell us what you dream about. Please calm down, you are sweating profusely...get some garments hurry. You're scaring us my lady, please tell me whats in your dream, it will help you calmdown please, my lady.

Queen Zuriel continuously sobbing, the past is waking her all of a sudden. She remember everything in a deepest of her sleep, she saw clearly his father Abiscus and mother Shemei calling her name.  She was reaching them by her hand but she can't even came near them, she's stretching her hand to them but they're going farther. She wants to cuddled them tight but slowly disappearing on distant. She hurriedly calling them out but gone on her sight. She loss them both in a day and she was devastated, hsr dreams shattered.
