162 Chapter 16Fate and destiny was on Aryan’s side that dawn. Those who attended what would later be known as the “Wrath of Artodo” explained in their journals and notes that Cregan Lawsend had already lost the war. First, he was surrounded by twenty thousand men in front of his castle while most of his men were waiting for him at the green battlefield and some were fighting Aryan’s men to take control of the harbor. Secondly, he thought the war would take place in the grass field, that’s what…

161 Chapter 16Once Artemis was no longer visible and he was lost in the dark clouds, Lord Balrus turned to Aurora. It was no secret he had tons of questions and doubts, he expected Aurora to be the mature one since Artemis already showed how a little bit of childish he can be.

160 Chapter 16“Yes I did. Believe me I felt bad later but then I was relieved that I did justice to Prophisians” replied Cregan. Lord Tommy of King’s City quipped “The same Prophisians who have surrounded your gates now as they seek justice for their King? You are a disgrace Lawsend, and come morrow you’ll be rotting in the dirt” “We shall see my lord” Cregan turned his stallion and rode away. His men followed him behind, the city’s gates were closed again. Aryan and her men…

158 Chapter 15Now this was the time even the so called Master of Spies and a Maldonian King without a crown wasn’t aware of what was going. There was a shocking look on Lord Balrus’s face, and even though Artemis never admitted it that shock alone made him feel good. Artemis knew he bit Lord Balrus on his own game and for the very first time, someone was ahead of him in knowing things. Ambrose disagreed “My nephews are dead. Their heads were thrown outside of the city’s gates before the…

157 Chapter 15Dressed in brown leather plain robe made of wool, Artemis made his way towards the Great Hall and he was barefoot too. This was his usual custom whenever he strolls around the castle, he preferred to feel the coldness of the floor on his feet when he walks instead of wearing sandals. The moment he opened the door of the Great Hall, there he saw Prince Ambrose and Princess Thelma sitting very close to each other. It was Thelma first who suddenly stood up when she saw Artemis, and then…

156 Chapter 15That night Princess Thelma met Princess Aeryn in what felt like a lifetime ever since the last time they met. They weren’t familiar with one another hence Lord Balrus had to introduce them again to one another. Then Princess Aeryn needed no introduction to Prince Ambrose, she once saw him in Horriss when she visited her late uncle Lord Aethelind ─ that was weeks before the Battle of Stonedance. “You have a son?” Princess Thelma asked because she saw Princess Aeryn holding Jeremiah…

155 Chapter 15Aurora placed the letter slowly on top of the bed and breathed “Everyone knows now” she said. “Sooner rather later Aryan will also know about it, and she will hate you forever” there was a concern look on Aurora’s face. Artemis knew he was the one at fault and hence he wasn’t trying to seek out forgiveness or act out to be the victim. Slowly and with care he took the letter, then he walked to the fire place and without thinking twice, he threw it to the flames. It only took a…

154 Chapter 15Leoric slowly tried to get back to his knees, then he made a fake smile “Thank you, Your Grace” while his eyes showed exactly how much his ego was ruined. Then Artemis turned his attention back to his sister again “Where’s my dear nephew?” he asked. Princess Aeryn’s voice came out with a grin “With the wet nurses, shall I bring him in?” “Of course dear sister, it’s a celebration” Artemis made a turn and ordered the servants “Go, go, go bring my nephew” and the…

153 Chapter 15The shock of what she saw led Katarina to walk straight to her manse, her head was spinning and she felt lost after Aryan told her Princess Thelma may have received her letter in Loni but chose not to reply and that’s because she wanted Prince Ambrose on the throne. Maybe even Ambrose himself wasn’t aware that Amabel and Barkis lived, or he was but he chose to ignore it since he will be the King of Prophis. “And who doesn’t want to be King?” said Katarina to her son. Amabel was…
