The Rise of Wars.
'I care because she is my fiance '
My Eyes almost fell out , what!
Azriel moved to me his eyes on my wrist as he held my hand , his grip firm but tight.
He took the journal and the Diary in other hand and starting walking lower into the castle .
Aries kept on Calling my name and Azriel increased his walking speed making it hard for me to catch his pace.
He stopped on an instant , And my body collided with his back.
'Can you look where you are headed atleast' Aerowen shouted.
Looking ahead to meet Uncle Hudson and Marie .
Albertine and Aerowen loved to swing since they were five .
The swing was placed near Albertine's Latibule.
Marie was more of a Palace Princess and was book smart while the other too loved to experiment things and learn.
Walking into Asher's Castle , the vibe of the castle filled among family members started to fade away with terror of death and Abandonment.
The wall froze her , eyes stroking her family portrait , she started to shake.
A pair of warm hands held her shaking hands , fingers of comfort interlocking with Aera's hand tightly.
' I understand what you feel , it'll all be okay' Azriel speaks in a low voice , Aera slowly responds
'No you don't and it won't be okay ever , don't give me false hope ' Aera overflowed with emotions .
Azriel stops walking and pulled her hand to look into her eyes and closing the distance between them both , he hides her face in his chest with a white shirt , his warmth worked like magic on her .
Arms with folded sleeves , lightly rubbing Aera's back to calm her down .
He moved slightly to wiped the tears off her face .
'Trust me when I say so , I won't lie' his reassuring gaze made Aera hide deeper into his chest , desperately in need of a dark corner alone .
She felt like she's drenched in rains , lonely not knowing what to speak , what to do and what no to.
But whatever this moment was whatever this looked like , his arms were the one place she felt safe .
'Shhh calm down ' Azriel wispers patting on her shoulder
He holds her tight enough to even face the wind before it reaches her.
'You are the Moon , Aera
The moon has craters dear love
And I promise
I'll care for you more than art in life
More than sunlight to a flower
More than he who is on his deathbed craves for life. '
He leaves a kiss on my forehead before absorbing me all in his arms and giving me a little squeeze as a form of touch to ensure he'll always be there .
Walking into the castle halls , Azriel was always near me and gave me glances in short times to ensure I'm comfortable.
'Who is this Stranger Aera' Uncel Hudson spoke out .
'He is not a Stranger' Aera replied with a pinch of arrogance.
' You're going to be crowned , what reason do you hold for this matter' Hudson said calming his voice .
' Azriel is going to rule our kingdom and I'll be the head of Royal Affairs ' Aera Stood up to answer .
'The stranger has a name ' she heard from the back
'Yes , Azriel Bonneville ' She said , turning back ' A Sweet name isn't it'
'Aera What relations does he share with our bloodline to sit on the throne'
' Mother took care of him , Uncle'
' And...' Hudson took a long pause stressing out
'Aera try to think , It's a Royal Position and title to hold . It isn't some nerw Archery tool you can gift him.'
' If we are talking it that way , he's taking the tool and he'll be the Archer I'll depend on'
'Aera , what do you mean' Marie said looking at her.
' I'm going to Marry Azriel Bonneville '
She walks out of the castle hall , to hold Azriel's hand and drag him .
'Aera , where are you taking me'
'Wisdom dipped in words'
'Uh..' he said in confusion.
' Castle Library , To talk' Aerowen said to Azriel.
'But why and about what'
'Can you give rest to your voice ' she spoke out frustration and impatience clearly visible.
She rushes inside the Library , pushing Azriel in first and locking the gate of the library to run upto him arms .
'As an answer to your Proposal , I accept it' Aera said wrapping her hands around Azriel's neck .
' You mean I can say it' Azriel said in a sweet low voice.
' Say what ' Aera raised a brow
Azriel looked into her eyes and voiced
' I Love You Aerowen O' Keeffe'
Holding hands they walk out of the library , lost in each other's eyes .
Aera stumbles back on the Arrow shot to Azriel's shoulder .
Azriel falls down on the impact , while Aera chases the man out.
She returns running , to catch Azriel in her arms .
Tears stream down her face as she mumbles to herself
' You will pay a great cost for this Brown.'
She takes Azriel's hand across her shoulder and holds the hand with injured shoulder to help him walk and she almost screams coming out to her Palace and the Royal Doctors rush in with people from the castle holding water , fruits and a lot more .
Azriel was given a dose of sleeping medicine so the arrow can be taken out without him feeling pain , atleast less .
The Doctors updated Aera on his condition and all the precautionary measures to take .
She walked in to Azriel sound asleep.
She sat on her knees to reach his head level on the bed.
She moves close to kiss his forehead.
'Get well soon My Ocean'
She holds her body up to leave and a grip makes her look back .
Azriel held the corner of her dress.
She took his hands to his side and softly walked past the door.
Duverein rushed in ' Your Highness , Can I help in something'
' Call every security official and Every Royal Official for a meeting before evening and give me every detail of the weapons we own' Aera said in a plain voice .
If you want to play with brains , I'll be Sapiosexual.
