CHAPTER 006
717 Words
Emperor Lucas, was known for his misuse of the law. Lucas was a mere human bitten by a vampire years ago, during a battle between our people and theirs. Lucas became the emperor of Orgadin because of his immense confidence to rule, and his excessive knowledge of history and war.
Anywhere Lucas went, people were ready to be told calamity or beware notice. Now he'd come to my kingdom.
I walked out of my room, anxious of the words Lucas would speak to me. Fear was not in me, for I've known fear longtime ago. Lucas was now in the meeting hall, I received him in. "Welcome Lucas, you didn't send word of your visit to me, is everything alright??", I asked him halfway holding my breath. He replied me, "I didn't intend on coming to you for this, but word have reached me that Rodin and their neighbors have been having some minor conflicts. Now intended to help them resolve their problems, but these neighbors Rodin got in conflict with have strings attached to the lycans from the far north", Lucas said to me.
I was surprised, this news wasn't a calamity nor was it sad things. This was an opportunity for me to claim more lands and people to my name. This was a spectacular message. For long now, I hadn't been in on a battle ground except for my training ground, this was an opportunity I long waited for, to show the will of my power to the outside kingdoms. To dominate more lands to I.
I sat up as soon as Lucas was done telling me what his presence in my kingdom meant. I stroke hard on my table, my eyes deep into his, no blinking, just us looking as if we were having a discussion through our eyes. I then spoke up, "I too heard of their becoming conflict, Filden told me it was being resolved within themselves. It must have escalated I see", my words echoed the hall.
"I've come to you Allison, we need to go to war soon, they are asking for too much. We were a fool to make agreements with Lycans from the start", Lucas said, "I agree with you Lucas, I'll send word to you in where me and my soldiers will meet you, it must happen fast, we all are avoiding the red sun, se need to make the battle happen smooth and fast", I replied.
The palace ladies now walked in with drinks and food.
We ate in a mood of tension but we remained calm and still. The rain came down upon the roof tops as if they both had issues, the rain sounds didn't allow me hear how loud Lucas chewed. We ate in silence.
My thoughts gently turned back to Neeta, she must have been waiting for me to comeback to see her.
"Enjoy your stay Lucas, I must leave you now, I've something I must attend to", I said to Lucas. I stood up and walked out of the hall, gently I headed for Neeta's room. Entering her room, she was there, her bed was well made. I stood there discombobulated, where was she??
I walked back to my room hoping to rest a little, there she was. Halfway standing at my window. She was dressed like a queen, long brown hair, a gown made for a queen. "I'm sorry love, I was called upon", I said to her.
"Lucas came right??", she asked me, "Yes he did".
"I know, word already reached me, it's okay. What are you going to do about his request??", she asked again.
"I will go to war with him, but I said to tell him the plans for the war soon, I need to prepare well and let you heal too", I answered her. I could see the sign of a blush in her face. "Alright then, I too will come with you", she said to me looking down. "No!! You won't come with me, you will remain here, you are now my queen, Neeta. You need not to stress yourself", I said to her.
We argued this for some time, but I stood on it, I didn't wanted her to interfere with battle no more, she now had more responsibilities to a battle.
