The Bastard's Bride Book II Knight

CHAPTER 11

Earlier in the morning, the blue that stretched into the horizon had only been broken only by wisps of white. Now it threaded across the sky in thicker bands. It was again a cloudy day. When will the people taste a sunny day? Watchmen and soldiers are back to their routine, they have tripled the security area and maidservants are also busy on what they are doing, some are cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning all the surroundings and even though it was a busy sight, there was still happiness in their eyes, they are happy of what they are doing and that also makes Helios and Hades happy.

“So, you’re still going to do it?” Hades asked as he took a seat and comfortably stretched his body out, it exhausted him for a no reason, exhausted thinking about Knight, their once best friend of Helios. He was disappointed and sad about what happened of their friendship since his father arrived and fetched him. He was completely changed, everything of him changed. Hades massage his temple, Knight was giving him a headache but he can’t help himself not to put a smile on his lips, Knight had always been like that since they were kids, Knight was always who put trouble and headache of him.

“Are you a king by yourself? Because you sounded not, this is the perfect time Hades, she is here in our roof and she is the precise pawn. We will be able to catch him as soon as possible. I will train her to fight of course so she can defense herself on her own. And if that happens when the day comes that we both catch Knight in our hands by using her we are totally free Hades, this town will be free and we can soar high and people will trust us more and of course there will be more merchants to come, it will bring the kingdom wealth Hades,” he said as he looks at Hades eyes, Hades was a bit hesitant about his plan but he trusted him so he might just go with it.

“You will teach her how to combat, huh?” Hades asked and sit properly and now he was serious.

“Yes, I also have a heart Hades she is still a girl and we can’t protect her anytime, she should learn to fight,” he answered and there was a querying look written all over his face.

“Tell me you are not attracted to her, Hades,” he added while looking at him and Hades slowly lifts his head and his eyes went cold.

“It’s not what you think,” he coldly stated making Helios grin.

“Easy there I was just asking and besides I can’t see no mistake if you are completely attracted to her. She’s beautiful, amusing, fierce and definitely had the body that every man would die for, I can’t tell a lie Hades she was a complete package except that she is not a royal blood,” he added and took a deep sigh and lay his both arms up in the settee.

“That was deep, something’s bothering you?” Hades asked and also copied his position.

“Nothing about this entire thing we are doing is a mess, I must say, it’s giving me a dilemma, but this is our job,” he answered and they both smiled.

Hades could not admit to Helios the strange feelings he had with the girl Ysabella, but he could not tell him it was much better to keep everything secret for now. 

Hades and Helios have the same father, but the mother is different. Hades was the son of a noblewoman who was the first woman of their father, others say that Hades mother was the first love of the king even though they have a different status of life, his mother was a peasant and the whole people of the palace consider her a concubine which was completely fine to her, it doesn’t matter what they called her that time she was used to it as long as the king and her still love each other, they can conquer all but comes a tragic event, Hades mother died mysteriously and some says she killed herself but at a young age of Hades he can tell that someone killed her, and it is no other than the queen who is in love with their father, the mother of Helios. It was all planned that night, the queen pay someone to kill Hades mother. The queen Zabeth was jealous of Helena, Zabeth was in love of the king but the king always ignores her presence and when she confesses her love to him he had got cold to her and every time, she announces a meeting he was not attending and only his personnel was present which makes her mad and planned all of that but after that the king and queen got married and Zabeth also planned that he makes the kingdom of the king scourge until the king begged for help, and being a king he would not just ignore his people and die in hunger. So the king took all of his courage and knelt his knee and asked for her hand for marriage, exactly what the queen had planned. But later on someone poisoned her, an assailant that until now nobody knows who. The two deaths were still a mystery.

“How is she now?” Hades asked, breaking the silence.

“She’s okay, and she is having a friend Xevy and it was nice not to get bored herself out here. They are getting along I can tell, she’s very comfortable with him. And I was thinking if we could move her room next to ours just in case you know something happened it is better that she is near, don’t get me wrong I just observe that her room is way too far from us and I can’t walk or run errands on her room everyday just to check up on her. I am just say-” Helios stated and waving his hands like he was explaining to a child or something which makes him chuckle, he was being defensive or what?

“I get it please don’t over defend yourself okay? I get it. Tomorrow we will move her next door to ours. I will ask someone to clean the room she will use,” Hades answered and a playful smirk slips on his lips which makes Helios twitched his lips for no reason.

“Oh Hades you’re thinking such a dirty little thoughts now huh,” he chuckled giving him a grin.

“No I am not, you’re the one whose putting definitions and besides you are the one who bought this up so I might say that you’re the one whose into dirty little things huh Helios,” he grinned and they both laughed.
