The Conqueror Thief 18

  Lilly and Ann were brought to Gilly and Amira immediately Chaze left.

"My brother has changed my mind. You both will wait in your tent. If he comes back I will set you both free but if he does not, you are following me to my husband's lands" Amira said and tried to leave but Lilly said, "where did he go to?"

"To abduct your father from his camp. Your father's army will be forced to lay down there swords if that happens" Amira left.

Gilly went closer to Lilly and held her hands saying "trust me, everything is going to be fine" 

Lilly and Ann nodded as Gilly accompanied them to their tent.

The King of Kaborn was alone in his tent full of thoughts. He had been following every bit of the incidents happening across the great sea with his wide network of spies. He knew about the foreign ruler who was marrying Amira, the sister to the young man who stole his daughter Lilly in place of gold and caused Ann to behead Ome. He knew that Amira was still nesting in Abori because he was coming. Abori was a small city full of peaceful people. His spies and advisers had given him reason to make peace and take his daughters home without a fight and he was ready to do that.

Just then Chaze walked in quietly and the King raised up his head, "who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Chaze. My king you must follow me" Chaze spoke. The king stood up with a sigh and said, "My son. No more. No more my son. I understand your story Chaze. You are an outlaw but I want to make things right just the same way you want to make things right. I know your fear. Your sister will not have to continue to marry the foreign ruler if you lay down your weapon and stop thinking of abducting me"

Chaze was surprised. He thought this might be a trick. Just then some of the King's generals ran in with weapons. Chaze had the opportunity to grab the king and force the generals to lay down their weapons but he just stood, believing in the honor of the king. And yes, the king had honor to stand on. He commanded his generals to drop their weapons and promised Chaze he would accompany him back to Abori to make peace.

In Abori, Amira was alone in her tent when her generals walked in and one of them said, "you promised us those two sweet ladies tonight. Why are they not yet in our tent?"

"I changed my mind" Amira simply said.

The generals looked at each other and one of them said, "we know your plan. You sent your brother to bring help. You don't want to go back to your husband our ruler. But he charged us to bring you back immediately after we must have defeated the bandits and the ladies of the night which we have done. Now it is time for us to return, with you"

Amira tried to delay but the generals forced her out of the tent and called on the rest of the army as they matched out of the camp. Gilly, Lilly and Ann who went into hiding when the commotion started watched as the soldiers matched away with Amira.

"What are we to do now?" Ann asked

"We wait for Chaze" Gilly said.

"Are you sure he will return safely?" Lilly asked.

"Yes. He always does" Gilly replied.
