Beyond the mountain

The Queen was waiting for Gordon's to get there, as she was laying her arm on the edge of the window impatiently. Prince would be there soon. She was ready for any sudden attacks. Couldn't wait to start.

Finally, something banged the gate.they were here, she whispered under her lips.

Loren" not bad prince Gordon, not bad," she said as she opened the window, climbed up the window stood on the edge of it, shouted for her guards to start. Soldiers of the Queen opened the gates as Gordon's army was getting in proudly with their blades and arrows, soldiers of the Queen began to threw huge boxes if gunpowder above their heads as her Other guards were throwing fire on them with their Arrows. Everything passed so fast that the Gorden's army couldn't decide what to do, they shrieked and held their shields above their heads although fire started to embrace everywhere, including soldiers of the Prince! All Loren's soldiers were above the stone walls, and roof as the courtyard was burning, Prince grabbed the wall's bricks started to Climb into the window that the Queen was standing, she pulled out her sword got ready to strike, Prince climbed up, without getting tired.

The princess didn't take any steps back gazed down at Gordon with a hint of mockery on her face.

Bricks where wet due to the thunderstorm and heavy rain few days ago.prince was a handsome muscular man, with a well-shaped body, sharp jawline and medium blond hair, any girls would beg to have him.but, not Loren, as an act of revenge for her cousin and husband's death.

" You can't climb? Its a shame for a prince !" She chuckled.

Hearing screams of the burning soldiers, made Gordon distracted! They were winning just before he had to deal with the crazy Queen and her gunpowder game!

He reached her dragged his sword to point it at the Queen.she stepped closer to hit his hand as he blocked her move and moves closer to kick her shield with his leg, she lost her control for a second and was about to lose it but at last, moment grabbed it back and hit his face with it. More troops of the Prince got in as Loren's gunpowder has finished. He blocked her another move to cut her cheek with his sharp sword, the Queen winced at this and took a step back, Gordon smirked as he was enjoying the fight now!

Loren was fun to fight; he felt home like he was in an acute fight with his sister tried hard not to hurt her. However, he had to concentrate on not get hit by her as well cause she showed no mercy to the poor Prince.

She gasped for air jumped in her room as the Prince followed her in, he broke her shield with a quick move of his sword, and started to hit his sword against hers, the Queen was blocking all his movements as he was trying hard to hit her. Finally, she passed her sword through his shoulder made him fell on his knee, then Loren kicked under his sword and let it fall on the ground. Punched his face to let him fall on the ground as he was bleeding.

She cast a slight smile on her face, wiped drops of blood from her face.

Loren " for a cute man like you, it wasn't that good" she teased him and ordered her guards to drag him into the dungeon which was under the castle when the prince git captured, his army stopped fighting, Loren ordered to capture all of them, as she wasn't done with them yet.

Few guards dragged Gordon onto a dark, gloomy cell under the palace. No one was there, the larger soldier hit him against the wall and looked at him up and down with a mockery tone, the other one kicked his face that made Gordon wince slightly cause of the pain. The Queen gets in with proud eyes on her face.

Loren " don't be rude to him, Max, he was a prince sometimes."

Both guards bowed as they noticed the Queen's entrance, Loren way of walking was so light that no one saw her when she was entering to a room, she spoke slowly as well, with a soft girly tone that could melt any men's heart.

Gordon lifted his head gave her a hatred glare, Loren outed innocently leaned over to look at her face, he was a perfect man like gods were drawn his face for years, she felt terrible for him for a second, but she had to get revenge. He was the one who killed her true love, and she was sure there was one soulmate for anyone.

Her lips shivered at this thought, laid her index finger on his sharp chin as she stared into his eyes angrily.

Loren " there is a price for everything," she said under her lips.

Gordon smirked, " you don't know what are you talking about little queen!"

Loren raised an eyebrow squeezed his sharp chin between her index finger and her thumb. Wanted to kill him, but he deserved to suffer. Untied her hair that let her golden hair lay around her shoulders made Gordon distract with her soft, shiny rays of the sun.

Held his breath like he couldn't breathe cause of the beauty of Loren's hair and innocent look on her face, hair made that smaller and cuter than it was before.

His glance turned to fear when the Queen placed the needle on Gordon's prominent face and made a small scratch on the Prince's cheek. Nothing could stop Lauren's hate, not even the beauty of this young Prince. Blood flowed from scratch. The Queen smiled sHe grabbed his lips, took the man's hair in his hands and leaned his head back,princee wrinkled his nose try hard not to wince.

not in front of her promised enemy, Loren pressed the needle more, guards stood in her both sides ready for her orders, Loren wiped the blood from his face, curved her lip like always that she had a second thought,

Loren" its a waste putting this cute man in the dungeon, let him come in my chamber, I need him to serve me" she raised her eyebrow mockery, Gordon furrowed his brows wanted to protest. Still, he was nothing but a prisoner, guards made him ready and took him to the Queen's chamber, threw him at the middle of the room, the Queen wasn't there anymore.

She left to make a list out of the prisoners and ordered her minister to find someone to sell these men as slave.as she didn't need them anymore.anyone was afraid of the consequences. Still, she didn't care about anything and promised to herself that do anything she can do to mock the Prince more and more.

When she entered the room, her guards bowed respectfully, and the enemy's soldiers gave her a stern glare with hate and disgust. She fixed her long velvet skirt. She straightened her silk skirt and entered the great hall with pride as she raised her head; prisoners were 20 men with. Muscular arms and broad chins were tied together with rope; the Queen looked at them one by one. She turned to her guards in a regal manner.

Loren " Where are others?"

One of the guards took a step forward " all dead in the battle your grace."

Loren cast a smile on her face, although deep in her eyes was a sign of sorrow for the dead innocent men who were killed in the battle of someone else, she was good at concealing her feelings and pretending to be someone else, with less emotion and more like a man or a king.

When the king was by her side, she could act more like a kind woman, but now that she had a great responsibility of taking care of her subjects, nothing could stop her even her internal girly emotions.

She nodded gracefully as she reached out her hand as a sign to the guard who was standing beside the prisoners to dismiss him and the prisoner, then turned to the man in front of him.

Loren" take them to the city and sell them to the lords of the west; they are greedy for muscular men."

The man bowed and left the room, the Queen got back to her chamber, ignoring Gordon's presence she opened her gown let it fell on the ground, walked onto the closet and took a red nightgown, her maids came to help her were her gown and brushed her long hair and changed her bandage, Loren winced in pain as her wound was painful.

Laid on her bed staring at the ceiling, Gordon didn't dare to ask about his duties, she looked existed, but still, a glint of victory could be seen in her innocent face, she clenched her fist let out a soft yawn. Gordon couldn't help but watching her until the midnight when she closed her eyes and drifted into a deep slumber, Gordon smiled without thinking, glanced at the window and sighed, wondering what was going to happen to him when the sun replace its place with the moon.
