• • • Eve's POV • • • "Even we're leaving!" Maryline reminds me. "This soon Maryline, aren't we going to visit the human world?" I frown. "You heard what I told Jack, why are you acting this way." she frowns as well. "I heard you but it's not like the world is coming to an end. The king has simply reduced the number of troopers and I find it normal Jack said that there is no work for them here." I try to persuade her. She walks straight to her horse, frowning "Young girl, you're talking about things you know nothing about. Trust me, this is way more complicated than you can imagine." she climbs on her horse. "Then make me under, because very soon I will be married to a man I know nothing about, I will be Queen of two clans which I know nothing about. Which type of queen, wife or citizen will I, be? if even the bases I don't know!" I clench her knee as she's seated on the horse. "Climb your horse, we have to leave." she flinched from my touch then she struck her horse and it started galloping. I hurriedly climb on mine and follow her. She reduced her speed at a certain point, slowly Jogging closer to me. "King Demons Telor is Adams Telor's father, you're soon to be father-in-law and your late father's number one enemy and for years now both clans have been fighting for things we barely know about. All we know is that Demond wants to rule over both clans while Edward simply wanted his clan to be feared and respected." she breaks through the silence dwelling. "Demons Telor is known to be a very ambitious man, very cruel and ready to do anything or even kill thousands of people just to archive his goals. If you think that Edward Jones, them Know that Telor is ten-time more," she adds. I can feel the fear in her voice like she had experienced his wickedness before. "I see," I exclaim her words get me scared of Adams and his family. "A few years ago, there was a fall of higher obscure creatures, more obscure than you and I, they had no face and they were all covered in dark garments with reddish blood eyes, somewhere invisible. Most of those creatures came out through the gate. It was like they were coming from the human world. They were brainless, and killing was their only goal." She counts with so many pains. "Omg!" I exclaim. "My words are nothing, you needed to witness by yourself the devastation they caused, it's like they were angels of darkness sent to just to kill. There was no safe place, nowhere to run to. Some managed to run to the human world but things were worse there. Just imagine running to the same devastation but without your powers." "Suddenly, white lightning struck from nowhere and destroyed all those creatures. It's believed that the lightning came from the human world but many still deny it since the lightning was so bright that no one could look up to it with bare eyes, talk less seeing its direction." "One of the creatures we managed to capture before kept repeating, "Gate Gate!" until he passed away. That gate has more to it than, we think. In visible spirits live in." she ends "OMG! All this just scaring me up. I never heard these stories in the past. I guess every known it well except me." I cry "I hate you, Edward Jones." I whisper. "Forget about him," Maryline advises. "How on earth can I forget a man who made my life miserable this much, I'm sure I would have killed him myself if death didn't take him away." I curse. "Don't harden your heart and always keep in mind that no matter what he was your father." "You keep supporting him even when he's dead!" I frown. "It isn't about him but you, I don't want you to lament. I want you to be a fighter and not a crier!" she says. I don't say anything, I simply remain quiet. "Eve, you need to be strong, I'm foreseeing a lot of troubles ahead, and be a great observer and always talk less!" she warns. "Maryline, I don't want to Marry that man!" I cried. "Stop crying girl it won't save you!" she steps down her horse as we're already home. I follow down and tie my house by the entrance, then we move to the fortress. "Welcome my Princess." some maids greet and I move straight to my room to have some rest, with everything that she told me is like my head wants to explode. While she runs in search of Uncle Edmonton. "That young girl is terrified she can't marry that man. Please rethink it and cancel all treaties you have with them when it's still early! For her seek." "As if it wasn't enough, It is clear that King Telor has no good plans for these kingdoms. I was at the gate today and I noticed that more than half of the troopers were sent back home. When I asked I was told that the king asked them to leave." she speaks with terror. She moves closer to him "Arent you scared? Or do you think that King Edward was mad to fear king Toler that much? All I'm asking you from you is not to marry Eve to Adams." "I'm sorry but I can't cancel anything, It's too late for that and more to that we need a strong and experienced alpha like Adams to take over Edward, not any young, stupid kid with no experience that she will find at the mate festival," he says with an unreadable expression. "You're a woman and you can't understand how this thing works. Just focus on your duties and prepare Eve for her marriage and I think it our advantage to have a smart, Queen," he adds, "Edmonton, I'm scared for her life, for our life, don't trust the king and his family and I think everyone has to know about what is happening at the gate so that we can fully prepare for any attack." she keeps urging him in vain. "Don't you dare." he unexpectedly wakes up from his chair with a bitter frown. She took a visible step backwards. "Don't be ridiculous you know what's at stake, it's not only about us here and If you try to speak then..." he peacefully seats down. "Then what?. You will kill me?... Edmonton you're kidding." her brows tighten, helplessly. She can believe her ears. "I am. That is if you give me no choice." he retorts pointing his finger at her with a cold glance. "We always have a choice!... No matter how much you threaten me, I still believe that the population has to know the truth about what is happening and trust me many are against this alliance." she boldly warns but in vain Edmonton is not frightened by her empty threats. "Maryline, My dear Maryline, this is politics and politics are meant for men, and not for every kind of man but for strong and above all intellectual like I. Why do you think that Edward entrusted to me the care of his daughter?." he proudly says. "I don't know, you tell me. I can sense how much you are craving to tell me." she retorts with her tone filled with sarcasm. "It simply because above all I always place Eve's interest at the top."He hits the table so hard that it makes a loud sound and she slightly quivers "So don't you dare question me, Maid." he says with so much contempt. "Call me whatever you want but I'm going to tell the trust." she boldly affirms. "Haha, Maryline!" Edmonton grins cruelly he was about to say something when... "Which truth?" I barge into the kitchen and I find them aggressively whispering to each like thieves fighting at a crime site. "Which trust? What are you guys talking about?" I stare at them in shock, they never tell me anything. Edmonton is seated on the slap with a plate of food in front of him but it clearly shows that he has lost his appetite.
