ALORA EMBRY
"You need to control your anger, Alora." I didn't answer my brother and I hear him sigh. He followed me outside and was ready to lecture me like Damien. "Alora." There was a warning in his voice and I look at him.
"What?" and since the war and he owe me one, I have now the guts to turn my back on my brother. Brother Kaden whom I was scared of since I was a kid.
"You didn't hear what I said?" I sighed and slightly bow my head.
"I hear it, I just can't take their attitude that is why I almost kill them."
"Another excuse, don't do that again."
"I will try." He glare at me and I nodded. "I will not do that again, promise!"
"Come with me." I follow my brother and ride on a horse. I take a look at the Army of Wren and sighed.
"Where did they get that large army?"
"We are thinking that they asked for help?"
"Or clones, so we will get overwhelmed by their number." I was surprised when Leo suddenly appeared behind us, I didn't hear him coming.
"Can't we ask for another backup? there are still numerous knights at the capital."
"They were protecting the palace." I rolled my eyes; the Imperial family was useless. They were huge baggage that we needed to bring, they only want their own safety.
"I know what you were thinking. They were holding us back, right? Well, we can't do anything about that. There is a possibility that they attack the palace using their mage."
"Our family was there... our Professor Lydia and Professor Erika the heads of the Department of Magic."
"They will feel secure when they were fully surrounded."
"I get it now."
"We need to come up with a plan on how to uncover the truth about those knights. I was betting that they were just clones."
"Clones or not they can still harm us. What if they were being controlled by that mage?"
"So, you don't have any plans since I arrived?"
"We already did plan but there is a missing piece."
"Lord Leo was right, if our meeting was not interrupted then we will discuss the plan that we brainstorm." I look at these two serious men in front of me.
They were working together, eh?
"Plan another meeting and let me hear that, I would also like to add something."
"Yes, that would be great. For now, let's watch their movements."
The enemies of us are just standing there and we do not notice anything, when it was about lunch we go back to base and eat. I saw the tent was already fixed and they were being silent today. We continue to monitor them for days and we received a letter that the port was finally free.
The knights that were appointed in the port came to the borders after a week. And they were complete.
"It was nice to see you again, My Lady."
"It was also a pleasure My Lord, I was glad that they already stopped attacking the port."
"Worry not, if they happen to attack again we will be immediately summoned there." I nod and also greet Matteo and Damien.
"My Lady."
"Sup."
"It was also nice to see you again, My Lords."
"Ryker, Matteo, Damien." Leo suddenly appeared and behind him was Frederick. They greet them and after a small talk, my Brother faced the Eyrons.
"I heard that you three look my sister, I would like to send my deepest gratitude."
"No, we do not deserve that. Your sister was natural, she was also great on archery."
"That's good to hear. Still thank you."
"Yes."
"Now, ready their beds and food they travel so far so make sure that they were in the best conditions."
"Thank you."
"When you are all done resting we are going to continue our meeting. Now, everyone back on your posts."
"Yes, Lord Astley." Wow, brother was good at commanding. I help them ready the beds and after that I also take bread. I followed my brother again, and since their number of knights increase my brother turned into a watcher together with Leo and Hayes.
"You didn't use your sword at the port?"
"I do use it, though I use my magic often. It was very useful because I can target those annoying pests."
"Are you talking about the ship?"
"Yes, those knights too but I like to target the most was the mages. They're good at irritating me."
"That is why I told you to control your anger."
"Why, did you also manage to control yours? You have a thin patience my dear brother, remember the new knights that you were looking for."
"Can you stop it?"
"See, lecturing me about my anger issue when you're also having a hard time."
"Before that why are you here again?"
"I don't want to stay at the barracks it's noisy and I see annoying people. Besides I was looking for the prince, is he not here?"
"You two fight again, Haa. The prince hmm, maybe he was at the palace protecting the king."
"Him? That was impossible even though I don't know him well I know that he will not just remain at the palace. Don't you know that he wants to kill his brother?"
"I would also like it if they kill each other."
"Yeah, them fighting over the throne seems fun to watch."
"Can you two stop your weird conversation?" Leo suddenly said that and I look at them, Hayes was awkwardly smiling while Leo's straight face continue to watch the army.
"You could join."
"No, Thanks."
"Such a shame, would like to hear your opinion about the prince and the king fighting over the throne. What do you think, Sir Hayes?"
"Ah, they might split in half well if the prince already convinces half of that army. If they fight while we are in the middle of a war it will cause a large confusion. And you could also think about the possibility that there might be another person that will also take the opportunity to kill both Prince and the King. To end the lineage of the Imperial family and to end the King's tyranny."
"Yes, that was possible. Wish that would happen."
When we go back to the base was already dinner. The meat was served and it made me full, after eating I joined the ladies at the lake and sleep early that night. I was wrong of thinking that it was another peaceful night because I almost die.
This lady in front of me was holding a knife and tried to stab me in my chest. I was taking deep breaths as I fight with her.
"What do you think you're doing, huh?"
"Kill..." I frown when she said that in a low voice, I easily make her fall asleep without waking up others. I look at her and pulled outside. When they saw me I told them to fetch my brother and when they arrived they saw the body that was lying on the ground.
"What happened?"
"This almost killed me, who is this person?"
"Ah let me check on the list... er she was Lise a mage."
"A mage but she was using a knife?"
"She's alive right?" my brother asked and I nod. Leo motioned his fingers and two of the knights there get the body.
"We will question her when she has already regained her consciousness."
"Do not worry and go back to sleep."
"How can I sleep there when I almost died? I don't know If there is still someone that wants me dead there." I sighed and hugged myself.
"The night is still long, Alora. Try to fall asleep I will appoint a knight inside."
"Okay..." I sighed and tried to fall asleep again, the knight that was guarding helped but I always get awake. I massage my forehead and take a deep breath.
"Lady Alora, are you okay?"
"Yes..."
"Don't worry My Lady, just rest peacefully I will guard here until morning."
