Xaiden
"hmm" I said waking up by the sound of the birds, now, I, Xaiden Dilph, lived in the northern part of the Eryndale, it had been four weeks since Serena captured the southern Eryndale. Anger-- was now more common in my blood than haemoglobin .
My peaceful morning was soon disturbed by my butler, Adder
"What is it, Adder?."
"Sire, I've been ordered to inform you of the meeting."
"So early in the morning?."
"Your highness, you're clothes for today's meeting have been arranged, lady Serena and other officials are waiting at the Eryndale meeting house."
"Lady, whom?"
"Pardon, your highness?"
"Nothing, make Nathan prepare me a chariot,"
"Yes, sire"
Adder's polished boots turned and pushed the floor to walk away, as I exhaled, relaxed, leaning back against my armrest.
"Lady Serena," I said, in a strange accent. " Lady Serena this, Lady Serena that, seriously, she can't be my childhood friend, how and why do I even know her?" Somehow my chest felt heavy, it felt like I just lied "Damm it all,"
**30 minutes later**At the Eryndale meeting house**
Serena stood as the most noble women among nine men, which apparently included me.
My gaze shifted to the morning news paper in her hand, she acted as if it hadn't been just four weeks since she had captured the southern Eryndale.
Ethan, the wise, young, royal advisor said "May god save both the rulers of Eryndale, and bring prosperity among all of Eryndale."
He had a knack to get me angry again, acting like he doesn't know there's soon coming a war this way, no, I need to compose myself, Ethan's still young, late twenties or something same as me, he's also one of the useful council member, I cannot loose him, at least not with my own hands.
I gave a tight smile instead, as Serena gave me a disgusted look.
Seriously, people had something wrong within them to irritate me so early in the morning. First the meeting, than Adder chanting lady Serena like he would die if he stopped, than Ethan and tha-
"My dear, Serena! Honey, congratulations on capturing half of the biggest empire," Said her nosy-almost fiancé, Caulious Thalorien, ruler of the sea, one of the strongest five rulers. Facts beside that I used to call him Caulious the cauliflower.
I watched as he hugged Serena, who looked like she'll soon throw-up.
Even god wouldn't know why I smirked.
"Caulious, I am surprised you're here, dear old friend." Also angry as hell that you ruined my 'COOL' entrance, I never added.
"Ah, I came running just when I heard my beloved Serena had captured southern Eryndale." Caulious replied.
"You're welcome" Serena added.
Great, another reason so I can hate her ugly face, maybe remove the ugly face part, I won't lie, she isn't ugly, people would kill themselves for her. I would just never admit it, why would I? I hate her, I loathe her, I despise her.
Ethan exclaimed" Lady Serena, Lord Caulious , do the two of you know one another?"
" I'm her fiancé" Caulious explained
"Hypothetically" Serena added" Caulious wants us to be engaged."
At that time, I didn't know what to say, I stood quietly.
I felt strange, too strange.
Either I wanted to say you both can, because they made a nice couple, I wanted to say , NO. WAY. IN. HELL.
"Let's continue today's meeting." said Aurelies, another council member, he was older, in his late forties, but he still was in form, he still trained knowing there can be a war anytime.
Nice, yes, the meeting.
**After two hours, forty three minutes and 28 seconds the meeting about the wheat fields had ended**.
Just when I was about to go back to the Dilph residence, I was interrupted by Aurelies.
"Your highness, I have a small mouth to say this in front of thee, but.........."
"But--what? Aurelies, you know me since I was born, you're like my uncle, say what?"
"It'd be better if we held peace against the southern and northern Eryndale?"
"You mean peace between the Hawtons and the Dilphs?" my gaze rolled off to outside where people were winding up the decorations of yesterday's harvest festival, I loved one, I joined it as a kid with Ralph and Seren-, realisation hits me.
"I'll see. " it is the only thing that could speak at that time, 15 years since I'm seeing.
"Yes, sire." Aurelies said as he turned on his heels and walked away, leaving dead of silence behind.
Now I could hear the people screaming, begging and on their knees, crying, pleading, passing out, almost dead-
ENOUGH.
"i'm going back to the Dilph's residence. " period " prepare a horse."
Adder questioned " but sire, your chariot?"
" I guess, I said a horse?"
" Absolutely, sire"
