His goal was almost achieved and with his Son Hadrid betrothed to the daughter of the Imperial Lineage, The Prime Minister of whose office is hereditary in Marlowe due to the great deeds of their Father that helped fight and won Marlowe from the Adasu.
The families he had his eyes next is the Law makers and King makers and if all that is achieved.
Marlowe would be his to claim.
Mate...............
Emma's wedding was eventful more than the others would ever be, Emma dressed as A warrior rode herself to her husband's Sanctuary, with arrows strapped to her back.
She had grown from that Little cute girl to A fierce Beautiful Woman.
The very first to join the military, She decided that if She was going to be the player, She had to be equipped with all the arrows she could, Diplomacy most times does not win a war, Some arrows would do it.
Instead of visiting her Mother in-law to get her bridal clothes and seek permission, It was the Groom's parents that brought it for her as the Groom instructed. It was the only wedding where the law and tradition could not hold.
The Supposed Sanctuary was cold and quiet as a grave yard and this is the first time She would be meeting Zoran in Eight years.
They had only talked through what Zoran called the Mind link.
She unmounted her horse and tied it on a tree she knew would protect the animal from Sun and close to a shed that it would run to it rain eventually comes.
Inside was empty and without decorations like Sienna had rabbled about the night before.
Sienna had grown into a very beautiful Lady too, Her husband was the Minister of Health like Sienna always hoped and She was a proud Mother of two set of twins, Male and Female each.
One thing that had always amused Emma in Marlowe was Zoran's family name, McKinnon, It sounded very modern to Emma and She wondered if there was any other Time Traveller here too.
"Helloooo!!! is anyone here" Emma's voice echoed on the hallway,
She suddenly felt very pleasant like she belonged to the dark corridors but she feared because it was as if something was beckoning to her, The milk on her hands, which Zena had suggested She give to Zoran when She meets him, developed a different aroma and she began to get excited.
Suddenly she was flying down the corridor she came from and landed on the wall, unable to move, The milk she was carrying was nowhere in sight.Just before her eye lids shut by themselves, She saw what She felt was the most handsome face that ever existed.
"Mate" He growled.
Zoran's intentions were not to scare her, but he was recently getting out of control in recent times that he was made to stay far away from everyone. The house was woven with all limiting powers to stop him from leaving, He was surprised that Emma could even come in.
"Beautiful" He called softly, "It's been a long time and I've always dreamt of this day, We would make the best use of our time".
Emma did not even blink, She laid on the bed he kept her.
Zoran chided himself for being such a fool, He had made his bride pass out on their Night of Consummation without even starting the consummation. He would be the first groom to not consummate with his bride on their wedding day.
Elsewhere...............
"She entered the house," The Man announced, His face was completely covered up and there was a hood over his head,
Zena was shocked,
"The limitations,"
"It appears it could not stop her my Queen," The man replied,
Zena felt her head pound, Anne was supposed to be sacrificed to remove Zoran's inability to control his demons, The Limitations was woven as an altar of sacrifice too and would swallow anyone that dares try to enter the house, until the right sacrifice comes and it would go away forever, But someone entered and was not consumed by the Limitations,
"Who exactly was She?".
The Order sat down and watched Zena pace up and down,
"There are different kinds of people," He whispered to the wind, "The Maker of the Limitations, The people that get swallowed by the Limitations, The Origin of the Limitations, The Limitations themselves, Maybe just maybe She is more than you bargained for,"
He laughed and with that, He was gone.
Zena felt a strange sensation but She did not see anyone,
"Did you feel that," She asked the hooded Man,
"Yes My Queen, a strange presence graced the room but was gone before I could place who it was or what being it could be," The Man replied,
Zena chuckled, "Eavesdroppers, I guess it's time I pay Dagu a Visit, He should never send anyone to me or to listen to what I say to anyone",.
The Find's Household.............
Find stood at his balcony watching all that happens around his house, He suddenly felt a presence,
"Did She arrive," He asked the one who was invisible,
"Yes, She did My Lord, it seems She is more than we assumed," The voice replied,
"I knew it, no child of mine would be ordinary and Anne was born under the star, She should be more than the rest and when the time comes She would make me proud" He boasted,
"I will take my leave now", The presence announced,
"Still put an eye on her," Mr Find instructed,
"I cannot enter the Mansion, There are huge Limitations around the house, The one meant to Sacrifice," The presence told him,
Mr Find's eyes widened,
"Limitations!" He screamed, forgetting He was supposed to be alone, "Anne must be in danger then, is my daughter still alive",
"Surprisedly, She is My Lord, She entered the house unharmed, I saw it myself," The presence assured him,
Mr Find smirked,
"She was surely the One".
