“Who killed my father?” The question sounded like a bombshell to the two siblings.Anthony wasn't smiling at all. His face was filled with anger that none of them could suppress.“We were about to come to your house. We didn't know you were here, "the warlord murmured.“My house for what? To kill my wife and children after killing my father?” He asked.“No, no! We actually have something to discuss with you. Shall we go inside to discuss it?” Warlord added.“You are just dumb or maybe you think that I am dumb. I know the best way to punish you but because of my son, I'm holding back. Do not think I'll not come back for you. Find my father's killer or present yourself responsible for it” he threatened and turned to go“Aria” The Warlord uttered, making Tony pause his steps.“Tell her to come home. I have an emergency matter to discuss with her” “Aria came to see her mother. Wait till she is done and come back home willingly. I must not see you setting your feets inside my house” he g

Before the end of this week, I have to go” he suddenly muttered.“Why? Why do you want to go back?” Pa Stephen asked.“I just wanna see things that are happening there. If I feel I can't stay there for long, I'll surely come back. My life is in the city and I must go back” he replied.Pa Stephen nodded his head like he had understood what was going on.They arrived at the farm and work commenced.He began doing the little he could do, managing himself cos if he didn't work, he would not be able to feed The previous night, rain fell and he managed to collect water like every other villager and

The rain has stopped but their sun shined brighter.Their clothes which were wet were getting dried up.Let's talk gisting, teasing the new couple.“I need to get a set of couple rings.

Another Chaos
“This is almost midnight and Keiran hasn't come back neither Aria” Selene said with worries noticeable from her voice.“I know he is coming back soon. What I know is that Aria is married to Keiran. Her father cannot harm him because turning her only daughter into a window at the age of nineteen is not what he would want. Moreso, Keiran isn't the type that can be punished. He is powerful. Touching him is like offending heaven. So be rest assured that they will come back, " Wesley explained.“I can't sleep alone. I'm scared something might happen to them” she murmured.Marcus turned back, pretending not to see them anymore.“Come here, comma, sleep here with me” Wesley said to her.Selene went to join him on his bed, lay beside him while he hugged her from behind.Selene giggled.“Tomorrow morning, if Aria's father refused to release them, we will get her mother involved “ Wesley murmured***“Aria” her father's voice roared inside the prison as he rushed inside.He was sweating profus

The warlord told the empress, he would marry Aria to Alvin and nothing would happen as long as nobody knows Aria was married.To worsen the situation, he requested her friends not be allowed to enter inside the wedding hall. In fact, no student should be allowed to leave their hostels.“Is everything set?” He asked.“Yeah. King Alvin will arrive anytime soon, "the Emperor answered.“Make sure the pill was added to Aria's breakfast. It will weaken her body and she will not be able to transform. At least, it should work on her for five hours or more” “I'll make sure it happens,” the Emperor replied.***“It is happening today. I don't know what is going on inside the palace and the college. But I heard the guard talked about your wedding day being today” Keiran uttered “My father is digging his grave unknownly. I wonder how King Alvin would react, knowing h
Alvin's Arrest
“Mom, are you sure?” She asked again.“I have already failed as your mother, so I need to make adjustments starting today. It's indeed your wedding day but not with that monster” she assured her.Aria smiled.She looked at Alvin who was seated opposite her and he kept winking at herIndeed, Aria was very beautiful.“I can see that you can't get enough of her looks,” Anderson said to Alvin.“My bride is beautiful. I'll certainly maintain her beauty cos it has be maintained forever” Alvin replied“What's she doing here?” The warlord murmured to the emperor, referring to Juliet.“I don't know. I can't remember sending an invite to her but I don't think she is here to cause trouble. Maybe she just wants to do her motherly duties, "the emperor replies.“I don't trust Juliet. I have been restless since I saw her. She shouldn't try anything stupid” Warlord said then stood up.She went to the bride's side and whispered to Juliet.“Allow today to go smoothly. Don't try anything stupid please.
The End of Alvin
“Kill them all” King Alvin instructed and his soldiers charged immediately.“Stopped!” Keiran shouted.His hand was on King Alvin's neck and he was holding a dagger at his throat.“W-wh-what are you doing?” The Emperor was stunned, including Alvin himself.People were already trembling from fear, shaking at the same time.“If any of your soldiers tried to kill anybody here, I'll not think twice before slicing your throat and you will be gone forever” he threatened.“Hey! Stop everything! Stop it” King Alvin instructed his soldiers, who now charged towards Alvin and Keiran's direction.“Drop your weapons.

I thought you had changed but I was wrong” Anthony s
The Past

I have a combat class with my discipline this evening. I promised to teach them about yin and Yang” Anthony said.“I have been trying to know it but I think I'm too lazy to learn that,” Williams added.“You have Anthony by your side, yet his disciplines are learning faster than you. Aurora is barely fifteen years old and can control thousands” Juliet said and they all laughed.“I have nothing to worry about. I have Anthony beside me as my friend. No matter what happen, he will always protect me” he replied “What if I am not there? What would happen to you? You need to learn how to protect yourself as well” Anthony said.“You are successful and currently the youngest warlord of this
