The Eternal Kingdom ✔️

Episode 12

Steven POV

Erica.

That name keeps playing in my head. I just don't understand why.

But there's no denial, I picked a liking to such name.
It was such a beautiful name which fitted her quite well.

To be thinking of a human right now, is unspeakable.

I sat on my table. Collating all the nations that are on my feet.
When a knock came on my door.

"Step in."

And then came in my best buddy Harry.
His visit was unexpected,

"My good man. How have you been?" He asked with a smile taking a sit opposite mine.

"Good." I replied blankly.

"Congratulation for defeating Velthelment Kingdom. It was a tough kingdom to defeat."

"It's appreciated."

"Come on be lively in your life for once." Harry whined.

"Why the visit, as you can see I'm busy." I told him straight in the face.

"This is what annoys me about you. You're rigid to everyone. I'll be living to another nation for business, that's why I came to see yuh. It'll take time before I return."

"Okay. We'll hang out in my garden, so we could chit chat." I told him with a smile.

"That's the guy I grew up with," Harry said feeling happy as we left my study room.

King Harry. The King of Everdeal Kingdom. The kingdom blessed with forestry and game reserved. It's a well known kingdom people travel to spend time with friends and family.

Harry has always been with me. Through thick and thin. Always believed in me after I lost my both parents. Always saw something great in me. I liked him so much because he was like a brother to me.

We sat outside enjoying the view of my garden as we were served drinks and refreshment by my maidens.

"Men, your castle feels like home." He blurted out with a smug smile.

Harry always tells me this and I'm glad he does.

We discussed few things like the friends we were and suddenly I could hear Emma's voice.

"Brother. Uncle Harry. Heyyy." She screamed running towards our direction.

"Uncle Harry," she finally said hugging Harry immediately as he stood up.

"So how are you baby girl?" Harry asked as he squatted to Emma's height.

"I'm good and happy." She told him happily.

Harry removed his stare from Emma as he looked up straight at something.

"Steven, who is that young man?" Harry asked looking up ahead.

And that's when I realized that Emma came with Erica.
The way her name sang in my head was quite enjoyable.

Sudden anger creped in without any understandable reasons.

"Yes. Uncle Harry, that's my friend. My best friend for ever." Emma told him in a jolly manner as she ran backwards and dragged Erica towards Harry.

"So you had a friend?" Harry asked with a tints of shock. I'm also still trying to adjust to such shock too.

"Of course Uncle Harry. She's the best ever. I don't ever regret," Emma said holding Erica's left leg.

When did she get this close to the human?

"This is a she?" Harry asked being perplexed.

"Definitely. Her dress code is of a man. Isn't she so shock able. Both gender fits her." Emma added looking at Erica with sparkled eyes.

What such of sudden connection does my sis have with this human? Her eyes have never sparkled in such a way around me.

"Wow!" Harry exclaimed.

Erica on the other end stared at him blankly.

"Being told this. Young lady you're one beautiful woman." Harry used his tongue charm to get her but she kept staring at him like an unmovable idol.

Harry took her left hand and was about to peck her knuckles but she quickly withdrew her hand and stared at him in disgust. That same disgusting expression she shows me.

"I apologies for doing so, if it made you uncomfortable." Harry spoke gently.

As she stared at him shock and confused.

"Can I have her." Harry requested as his eyes glimpsed red .

It's a pity how Harry easily falls for a woman especially when she's our enemy.
And he can't have my slave.

"Stop this nonsense." I objected standing up from my sit.

"Come on Steven this woman is just too... "

"Stop. I don't want to hear such nonsense." I interjected him.

I walked up to her standing in between Harry and her.
I towered the both quite well.

She stared straight into my eyes with a fragile stare as I stared down at her.

I Immediately held her by her upper arm making her to shake in fear at my sudden action.

"Didn't I make it clear, that you are to stay away from my sister. You stupid human." I yelled at her as my grip tightens around her feminine arm.

She couldn't utter a word as she stared at me with fear.
I love this fear in her eyes
I love it all.

"Brother please stop hurting her." Emma pleaded with fear in her eyes.

Why is she scared?
What so scary about what I'm doing?

"Steven calm down. That's not how to treat a woman." Harry suddenly spoke up not accepting my rude action towards Erica.

"You know nothing Harry. This is a slave princess. The slave from Velthelment kingdom. In no attempt can a declared slave like her be around my royal family." I told him as I threw her to the ground.

"Brother stop this I beg of you. I like her to be my friend. I don't care if she's a slave... "

" Shut it Emma. Shut it. Go inside," I strictly said.

"Brother please."

"I said go inside." I yelled as she ran inside with teary eyes.

I won't let any harm come upon yuh. This human is up to no good.

"Steven what has gotten over you?" Harry asked not liking my action.

"Have a save journey. You get up and follow me." I bind Harry a good bye as Erica got up to follow me.

As she got up her hair dropped to her face as she stride behind me with a folded fist.
Harry stared at her with pity.

Never pity a human, Harry.

I want Harry to steal her away.
