THE BLOOD ROYALS Book 2: Long Live The Queen!

Chapter Forty Six: The Face of Rebellion Part 1

Lokefar
Adan's POV
"Come on you useless bastard!" I hurled a pillow across the room. "The goal was right there! Wasn't the goal right there?"

"It was your grace." My bodyguard agreed.

"Then why did he miss? It's like missing an elephant as a target!"

I love football. I never get time to just sit and coach a team from my screening room.

"Adan! Adan! It's started!" My wife stood in front of the TV.

"Yes it has! I got here just in time. Sit down dear. You're not transparent."

"No my love! You don't understand!" She cooked my face. "It has started."

All of a sudden the enthusiasm of rushing home to catch this game faded. I grabbed her and we hurried away to lock ourselves in my office. "What?" I asked her.

"So I was talking to a friend from the Train Station Service. She was complaining about pulling three shifts. So I ask her why she's pulling three shifts-"

"Honey, honey please, get to the point." I pressed my plans together to plead.

"What is one thing the TSS likes to boast about?"

"Their trains are never late if anything early."

"Yes!" She clapped her hands.

My wife is not an enthusiastic person. She has an attitude and dark humour fascinates her. She is also excited by conflict and controversy. Whatever this is, it's not good if she's this happy.

"So..."

She's also a horrible story teller but I would never tell her that. If she says we have to gossip about the neighbors who live so far away, then we will have tea and I will have to contribute some juicy gossip as a mandatory expectation of being a member of her club. It's just the two of us.

"The train from Daa Haan that brings in food from the port, never left the station in Daa Haan."

"Why?"

"That's why I called Nia and she called a friend in Daa Haan and that friend in Daa Haan told Nia that the railway has been blown up a distance away from the boarder of Daa Haan abd Lokefar."

I covered my mouth. "Purposely blown up?'

"Boom! Poof! Gone!" She clapped her hands.

I believe she has a few screws loose in her head but I am a strong believer of never telling a woman she's crazy. It leads to an early expiration date for the foolish man who said it.

"Who blew it up?"

"Okay... So... The Duchess, Della Zahai slapped a curfew on Daa Haan yesterday. 6p.m-6a.m."

"With whose consent? Did the prince allow it?"

"Wait. I'm still telling the story. Apparently, she is breaking Daa Haan away from Chea Niva. The rebellion have made Daa Haan their stronghold and they are cutting off the rest of Chea Niva."

"This is bad."

"I know right?" She squealed. "Oh! Oh! Before I forget, no one is allowed to leave Daa Haan. No one."

"What about Admiral Cormac?"

"The clever silver fox saw it coming and he pulled away all essential staff from the base. All ships are on the sea away from the mainland. I hear the rebels are trying to infiltrate the naval base. It's locked down, hell is about to break loose!"

"I need to speak to Bowie. Excused me." I picked up the phone. She pressed the button that outs the call on speaker and dares me to say otherwise.

"Your grace." Bowie's answered almost immediately.
