sound of shreik.

The moon was hiding behind the clouds when Noah was trying his best to get out of a dark, scary room; he was locked in the room by the King's orders as soon as Osbert recognised the prince of the North and demons.

he was hearing Caleb's innocent voice who was begging for his life, Noah was frustrated, the door was chained with a weird material that he has never seen, but whatever it was, he couldn't do any magic against it,

Noah"I hate myself! it's all on me!" he blamed himself for everything that happened since the beginning till now.he had to rescue Caleb before he loses his head, glanced around himself helplessly there was no way out.he banged his fist against the door gasped for air helplessly.

He never thought he would be stupid enough to lose his best friend his only friend just because of being too proud to cook for Osbert!

Osbert usually closed his victim's eyes cause fear could ruin the fresh element of their blood. But this time he wanted Caleb to see everything in detail, feel every little moment of his death so that he learns to not cheat on the king of demons. Caleb was struggling in the guard's arms, gulped nervously.

Caleb "let me go!I did nothing!" he shrieked as the guard. Forced him to sit on his knees he looked up at the guard helplessly, Osbert and his queen were seated on the throne as laughing at him, he clenched her fists closed his eyes the guard dragged his silver and sharp sword and waited for the king's order, a few moments later.

The king still was enjoying the scene and eating fruits which were in front of him in a golden bowl. He pointed at a guard to get Noah he obeyed immediately and dragged the boy here from the room, Noah pushed his arm away, furrowed his brows.

Noah "Im going on my own" he commanded as he was walking gracefully onto Osbert and his wife, narrowed his eyes trying to remember Cordelia.

Noah"Yeah, you are more pretty than her."

He said laud without thinking, suddenly everyone stared at her. Now stayed beside Caleb shrugged as he noticed King's glare.

Noah"I just was comparing your wife with a friend don't worry she is not my type" he raised an eyebrow mockingly, Osbert leaned his head onto his right side surprised by the attitude of this young boy.

Osbert"no one dares to talk about my queen like that."

He warned Noah in return he shrugged again.

Noah"It's not my problem that I've seen more beautiful women than her."

she smirked Osbert slammed his fist on the table angrily Cale was watching him with widened eyes and open mouth forgot about his situation,

Noah "I've seen a girl stronger than you."

Osbert"shut your mouth!" he snapped angrily.

Noah "its not my fault again."

Osbert pointed at the guard to force Noah to sit on his knees beside Caleb as well.

Noah pouted innocently and sat beside his friend gave him a confident look then tilted her death back to the king.

Noah"Im sure you don't want to waist a demon's blood for nothing."

Osbert furrowed his brows angrily "I want to shut your big mouth."

He growled as he was patting the snakes which grew from his shoulders.

Noah"You can sleep knowing two huge snakes are on your shoulders?" he asked curiously as he was narrowing his eyes.

Osbert"you worry about your head let me be worried about them," he said sarcastically as he pointed at the man to laid the sword on Noah's neck.

Noah took a deep breath closed his eyes, before winking at the Queen seductively, King looked at his wife confused and turned his head back to see Noah. The queen cast a soft smile at Noah then looked back at Osbert.

Everything was ready it was the time, that Noah disgust with the queen over and over at nights when the king was sleeping or busy in his brothel house, Osbert never noticed Noah's secret affair with his wife that Brayton planed to make Noah get close to the king as close as those snakes on his shoulders.

The queen offered him a glass of blood, his favourite drink he nodded as he took the sip and drink from it, Noah was looking at them hopefully, the king drank the liquid from the glass, nothing happened. Noah frowned what was wrong!

Queen got nervous as well he looked at Noah and back at her husband, at this time Osbert started to chuckle loudly he pointed at the guard who was about to cut Noah's head ordered him to step closer he did as the king's command and bowed in front of him.

"Kill the queen" he commanded sternly.

Noah shook his head "no! why!I mean you don't need to kill her !"

he protested, and that made the king even angrier, he pointed at the guard to drag the queen beside Noah and Caleb,

"what I did to deserve this?" the queen asked with wet eyes and shaky voice Osbert chuckled loudly.

Osbert"no one can get away from the king's justice you cheated on me my spied told me."

He responded as he was glaring at Noah.

Noah was pretending to not listen to them; the guard forced the poor woman to sit on her knees.

"I am the queen!" she yelled proudly.

Everyone was laughing at her mirroring the king, Caleb was looking at them innocently and confuse, the only thing he was thinking about was the food on the table, fresh and looked delicious he heard his stomach's sound, Noah heard it too and glared at him as he shrugged.

Queen screamed as the sword landed on her neck, Caleb squeezed his eyes not to see this Noah sighed, it was the second person who died for him.

In the sands of Mainland Laura and her army was making their way through the north someplace that she knew very well, her third husband took her from the mainland to the demon's kingdoms a long time ago, so he knew the passage very well.

Princess has never been on long trips; she was mad at Laura for making her go with her.

Princess "Why you want me here?" she asked for the thousands of times, but this time Laura gazed at her kinder than before.

Laura"Hamo has nothing in the south but hate, but every nobels love you."

She gave her a confident look and winked at her.

Princess sighed"How do I know you won't kill me as you did with Hanna."

With this, Laura looked at her, confused she didn't know that Princess knew about her secret.

Laura"How do you know that!" she asked surprisingly, managed to ride slower beside her looked here and there to make sure no one hears their conversation.

Princess shrugged "well Im smarter than what you think" she confessed and blushed a bit asked her question again Laura shrugged Brishen replied instead of his mother.

Brishen" she never kills anyone in Robert's presence, she is like his puppet" he smirked as Laura gave him a death look.

Laura "Im not!" she protested, but Brishen laughed loudly and rode faster laura sighed and shook her head.

"I wish I could raise him better than a jerk!"

Princess laughed "but I like him this way!" she confessed and avoided looking at Laura's eyes.

Laura stared at her surprisingly "you do?' she asked with a big smile on her face, how can a girl like Brishen! raised an eyebrow rode away onto the front line of the army. At night when everyone was sitting around the fire.

Robert sat in front of Laura, took her hand. She curved her lips and smiles.

Laura"get rest we have lots of work to do tomorrow." she said in return he kissed her in front of everyone, their long-secret was no longer a secret anymore, Brishen cleared his throat to get their attention, but Robert didn't stop the kiss until he ran out of breath.

Laura smirked, he smiled, the glimmer of the sun was so beautiful on her silver hair and smooth skin.

Robert"marry me" he offered, narrowed his eyes.

Laura widened his eyes"Im married" she replied like thousand times ago, soldiers surrounded them stepped closer to hear more clear,

Robert"screw him, Im the one who always get back for you."

Laura sighed the princess was nodding to show her to accept guards were yelling Robert's name; he was prevalent everywhere. Laura giggled.

Laura"Hamo will kill you."

She replied, worried about him as he shook his head.

Robert"no one dares to lay a hand on me and my properties" he teased as Laura glared at him jokingly, Princess sighed "just say yes! who cares about Hamp he has thousands wife!"

Laura surprised to hear that, it seemed her words are finally affecting the proud princess, she looked back into Robert's begging eyes....
