Powerless...

Chapter 14 - Clamoured

"This is simply unbelievable, it can't be true. These are mere accusations without any concrete prove that Will is a treason to our country," state Sariel with his earnest opinion.

"My spy wouldn't lie in such serious matter, especially matter that involving Orien.." mark Luke one of our domestic affair minister notably. "There's been few reports which I've received from them, regarding those weapons which has been illegally smuggled in our country, and those deals unfortunately involved Will. Not forgetting, Will has been secretly recruiting men from the outer rim of our states to join in with his revolution army.."

"Do you have specific prove on this matter Sir Luke? Cause this is indeed such a strong accusation." Asked Licht with deep concern mount in his tone.

In a drift, Luke brings out few seal documents right off from the inner pocket of his jacket and place them upon the oak study desk. Sariel quickly took it and carefully begin to study those documents.

"These were the account statements of their weaponry trade deals." Utters Sariel faintly. "How did you managed to get these?"

"We've managed to track one of the few merchants which Will had eventually made those deal with. Currently we've place him under arrest and these are the documents which we found with him.." explained Luke calmly.

I couldn't say any words, or do anything. I just feel so powerless, I feel my soul has been ruthlessly taken and battered. Will had played me, played us a fool right under his nose. He had clawed me, kept me captive in his heart with his words and love. Love? Am I so blind..he has indeed submerged me into the deepest pool of tide..crashing me each time, my form touches the shore.

How could you hurt me ? You knew Nokto's plan in wanting to kill my brother, you knew almost everything and now you and Nokto intend to invade my Kingdom? I will made sure, you both fall to your knees before you've got to taste our blood...

"Will will be back later evening, General Licht, I assigned you to arrest Will immediately and place him into the cell. Sariel, made the arrangement for an invitation of Nokto to our Kingdom." I commanded. "And Luke, please prepare any necessary steps to keep our people safe if war were to come to us.."

"Right away, Your Highness.." noun all of them.

"They are playing with fire, I swear, they will be burned.." I marked with a crude smirk mark on my face. "Since the other states has been clamouring words that Orien rulers were used to be mean and ruthless, very well, I will show them those words are real.."

Dusk Touching In..

I sat upon the couch right across the fireplace as I had my sight staring down upon the blazing fire, fluttering it's glimmering light, upon the sphere. The warmth sure is comforting, but it doesn't ease the coldness in my heart..

Dawn had almost touches in but sleep refused to touch me. For my thoughts were clamouring and my heart is pounding. My eyes were glaze with stabbing tears, tears which refused to leave my aching soul..

"Sephira, you are still awake?" Utters that gentle voice, a voice which should have been a balm to my agony but it trailed with poison instead.

"Where have you been?" I asked coldly.

"Like I've said, I'm attending to certain urgent matters. And here's the draft letter which we could used in inviting Nokto over to Orien.." Will replied casually with an earnest tone glazing those words. Upon that moment, he placed the letter onto the coffee table

With a smirk charted on my face, I pick the letter off from the table and in a drift, I cast it one side..

"Urgent matter? Urgent matter with these Will? Answer me.." I retort furiously as I flung all those evidence right across his face.

Will bend down to pick up those documents and begin reading them piece by piece. His expression turns pale and his hands begins to shake..

"Sephira, please this is not like what you think. It's all part of a plan.." he noun as he tried to held me in his arms.

"Enough Will..enough..you've betrayed me, my family and my kingdom.." I cried as I tried to push him away from me, but he had held me firmly to his form.

"Please forgive me Sephira, I have to do this," utters Will with a voice that sound almost like a whisper. And within that frantic moment, he had twirl me therefore my back will be resting against his front.

"Will.." I gasped in panic but I've already felt his strong arm had easily snake around my waist and then, I felt soft fabric covering both my mouth and my nose. I muffled and struggled with all my might within his grasp but soon, I felt my breathing gets heavy but my thoughts had slip to lightness..

My sight still caught upon that blazing fireplace, however those fluttering flame begins to go darker and darker...

Will's POV

I need to act fast now, I couldn't risk everything that I've planned. You slumbered unconscious in my arms, it's better for you to fall in my arms Sephira but not to Nokto or anyone else.

I knew a lot of discrete things that's happening inside your castle itself. Lots of things, things that might be shocking to you, but apparently, I can't let those ugliness spill out too soon for you to know and endure. Would you believe me though? If I were to unravel all that. Would you?

I'm taking you far far away from here, to someplace, someplace where it is safe..

Please forgive me Sephira. I feel so helpless, even powerless for doing this to you. It breaks me too as much as it breaks you. But trust me sweeting, everything will fall back to places like how it should be. I swear, Orien will never fall. And so is our love..........
