2 The killer and the new king
Leo/ lykos
I dreamt of her today again, her voice seemed like a lullaby helping me to sleep. With the killer of her mother still lingering around her lullabys were also not working. She would have grown beautiful and pretty...like she always was, with skin that was kissed by the sun, hair flowing in air like a river with lilies in it. The gleam of hazel eyes...now were to become of a queens . At last my love was becoming the queen her mother always dreamt for her.
I couldn't wait more I knew it, my heart wrecked daily as I saw the the gleam of silver pendant resting on my bare chest getting brighter and brighter, it felt cold day by day, the day my father who was the general commander died held my hand and told me only two things "she is yours and you are hers.." he then held my hand and handed me two necklaces. They were the ancient symbols of permanent mates, lovers...
"One for you and one for her. You must treat her well, she carries the golden blood." He commanded.
A knock on door*
"You may come!" I answered
"Sir the thing you asked to investigate has been progressed and outcome is bit contradictory" wertik my most loyal servant narrated.
"Just tell me the name and leave" I yelled as my blood waved through the arteries. My soul anticipating to know just one name of that foul creature who killed the great queen of the magnificent era.
"It was prince pyre...." he couldn't complete it as my stare widened and he was forced to leave.
I should have known. It was my brother's doing he just wanted the throne for himself. How could he although no one new of this illegal act but still he had gotten illegal golden blood in his soul. He can never rule now or the throne would burn him and everyone will knew.
I cannot hurt my brother. He can never do
that ....someone would be behind it definitely.

"Pyre! Pyre! You know me..I will not ask you again. Was that you?" Pyre's neck was in my hands as I had pinned him on the wall. With sweat drops dripping from his forehead he gulped down the fear and nodded.
My hand loosened and grabbed his jaw while other hand drew the sword from my side.
"You know what have you done? Do you realise it? Doesn't the blood burns you? The illegal killing"
"Oh brother it hurts me..I have been trying to tell you for such a long time but never had the strength to mutter courage...but I promise I did it only on the saying of my father...he told me to kill the queen because he taught me that it would be sacred for her, but I didn't know she was carrying a baby....please forgive me" he pleaded for mercy but he knew well I was not fond of it.
"Don't let them know...just stick this sword in my chest so I may die in peace. The pain and agony has weakened me to restrain the harm from others...can you just be kind enough to do it....it will not be illegal. I will pronounce it in my death wish"he pleaded in front of me with his wet eyes.
"How can you be so merciless and expect mercy from me? Is this fair?....but if I think it deep enough, you were young and then what father did was wrong. The revenge must be upon him and not you. As for the pain...you can go to the queen zareena and ask for forgiveness" his frown converting into a smile looked like a new moon.
"I know she'll forgive you...she is the one carrying the heart of gold" my mouth lifted and heart was almost on the verge to stop but before that a man came running to us while panting started to apologize readily. He had a shock on his face, bit sadness and perplexity that couldn't be countered.
"I am sorry you highnesses, to disturb at this moment but the news has reached just now that the princess has abandoned the throne. She has uttered that Berseks must rule the kingdom. She has withdrawn. According to the council's order you two must be ready tomorrow for the new coronation contest. I ask your permission to leave now" the guard bowed and left me and pyre in a shock attack. pyre and my mouth dropped beneath the earth on hearing upon this curse. I never wanted the throne because it was always hers and pyre couldn't have it because the throne would recognise him as a traitor. So it meant it was my time to rule now. But only one question surfaced in my brain why in the world would she even to dare to this. It was her place before she was born. Something must have happened. I must know it.
