Chapter 42 What did your brother did to me?
Jace’s POV
“Fuck!” I watched him growled, his flushes with irk.
I was calm looking at him, puffing, hissing and huffing words. He turned, our gaze get locked, and he has this chagrin formed at the upper of his lips.
“What the hell did your brother did to me?” He glared his pairs of brow onyx eyes at me.
“you ain’t goin to talk?” He questioned, furrowed his brows when he saw my straight face.
“You enjoy checking me out?” He said in an irk tone, but it sounds so funny to me so I cackled up in laughter a bit.
“I love how frustrating you look.” I muttered, taking the lead while I guessed him, maintaining his pose.
“How do hell do we get to the mountains and bring back the dragon’s egg to King Akeem? Although, he wants the dragon dead too.”
He spoke, and frustration flushed into my head at the realization that we’d be needing a horse but at the moment, we have no horses.
Dain’s horse was proving stubborn to move, so Dain thought it was thirsty. He came down, taking off his skin gourd so he could feed the horse with water.
Unfortunately, it died thd moment he drank out of the water. A quick realization that dain’s water was poisoned.
Goddess saves him, he would have died had he not be compassionate enough to treat it’s horse well.
“I would have died, your brother is damn crazy and greedy!” He cursed.
“What happens to our foot, man?” I said, taking some steps.
He leaped to my side, “We gonna need a horse to be ahead those fools!” “We need to get there before them, so we could kill the dragon. ”
At the mention of ‘kill’ sadness overwhelmed me. I do not think I’ve ever be this sad. It was as if I was kind of connected to the dragon, I felt so remorseful for the dragon, eventhough I hadn’t seen it tho.
We are going to be stealing it’s egg. Why can’t my uncle just allow the fuckin dragon to live?
“Is there any reason his Royal Highness had wanted to kill the dragon?”
It also baffles me, I’m dumb to that question. If anyone should answer such a question, it should be my Uncle.
“My map was stolen, what about yours?”I asked, ignoring his questions and awkward stares.
“it was burned.” He said, frustration lacing his voice.
“Good!”I muttered inwardly.
“Just follow me!” I ordered, and hesitantly, he walked behind me.
Silence overwhelmed us as we walk through the thick canopies of trees. We began to feel thirsty, there was no sight of water around the surrounding.
We swallowed down our spit and began to cover the distance ahead of us. I still find it hard to believe Jayden would ever tried to act like a stranger to me all in the prize of being governor.
And I don’t really understand why every one thinks I’m jealous of Jayden. The Alpha King charged us with a task, why shouldn’t I perform my task?
I don’t really know, I lost count of days we camped to sleep, how we hunt to eat do we could renew our strength. The bond between me and Dain began to wax stronger each day.
Someday, we arrived at a huge mountain, I can’t say if it was the mountains in which was labeled in our map, since our map was stolen.
“Should we check around this mountains?” I asked Dain whose gaze was scrutinizing the entire place.
The winds blew and spoke in my ears, “come!” I was earnest In knowing the spirit it being behind the voice.
“Come,” the winds whisper again in my ears.
I began to walk, and I felt shrills cold striking at my spine.
“Where the hell are you going to, your highness?” Dain demanded.
I could have stopped to face him but I was compelled by this voice that I couldn’t waste a second to get to him or her.
“Push your friend!” I heard the wind said, but I was confused.
Push my friend? Why should I!? I was still pondering, when I felt tornadoes of waves coming to attack me , but it slides my ears, and all I could heard was a grunt sounds.
I was enraged, why would the wind have done such? I tried to know, twirling only to see different arrows laying around..
Dain was able to survive because the winds pushed him down.
Many more arrows flew to our side with the winds blowing them around. The arrows stopped with a group of men in Black cloaks showing their face.
They looked like royal or nobles assassins who been trained all their lives. Their stares were daggers, and their face inexplicable.
Dain sprang to his feet, his daggers ready to work.
“Are they here because of you? I muttered.
” I’m not vying for the position of the Alpha King. I just want to live a happy and peaceful life.”
” Enough of your pleasantries, get your ass In /, and everything was dark.
“What sort of place is this?” I says inwardly.
We were outnumbered by 15 assassinated men of valour.
They charged toward us, their sword Nd daggers almost slicing through my skin. We began to fight until several of bodies was lying on the ground.
“Whose send you here?” I asked, barely in my gritted teeth but was looked upon.
” Who sent you, and your fuckin squad?” I spite, venom flickering in my eyes
Her gaze trembled, and her lips quievered for words. I was thinking she was deaf or something else.
“What else is in me that I do not understand?” I threw a punch, and I could see worries and fears flickering In the assassin’s eyes
“Why are you so acting lenient with her? They came to kill us, remember?” Dain’s voice sounded behind me.
I ignored his words.
“can you talk?” I slowly said to the teenager.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
” We can’t becoming friends with everything we sees, your highness.”Dain frowned his face.
“She was here to kill us, alongside her squad. It’s fair if we slut open her fuckin throat, now, do it, your highness!”
