The Barbarian Mate [Being Edited]

Chapter 19

Yeilk unwrap the leather that was on the bed revealing a sword. He got it the same time he got the dagger. He know this day would come when she would be able to use it. He know she would earned.

The sunlight coming through the window hot the blade and the jewels. The enchanted obsidian is the same one that make his.

He sheath the sword before walking out. He already got the children to a safe location with the elders and the horses were ready.

He walk over to Althea who was on her house and held up the sword to her. "A gift from me to you."

She give him a kiss as a thank you.

"OK let's move out!" He mount his horse and move to the front. He look back to make sure everything was OK before they hit the road.

They ride nonstop until nightfall.

It was three days ride to the large town. At the speed they were going they can probably reach in two days.

They stop at a water hole to get water and so the horses can drink then they were back on the road again.

Their next stop was in a smaller town. They trade jewelry for food and a place to sleep.

The next day they were on the road again. They didn't stop this time and continued to the big town through the day and night.

When they reach the high wall they stop and unmount.

"We're here."

Althea look up at the prison walls in disgust. Only a coward hide behind a wall.

"We'll go on foot from here. Leave the queen to us."

They nod.

Althea and Yeilk went ahead. The guards at the main gate pull their sword the minute they spot them.

"No one passes through the gate."

Althea pull her sword and keep walking. They came at her and she cut them down.

They step through the gate and were met with more guards. They jump into action as guards came at them from all directions.

They take them out quickly and head for the castle that was further away from the town.

It stood higher than the other buildings. Go figures.

People move out of the way as they make their way to through the town.

Althea can see what Rubes mean when she said the people are suffering. Some of them look like they haven't eaten in a while. She was even more determined than ever to rid this people of the poverty they were living in.

Her heart break at the sight of some of the kids. They were malnourished and their bones were very visible.

As they get to the outskirts of town she look up at the castle.

"Ready to do this?"

"Ready."

They cross the bridge and throw the large double doors open. The maids were startled and ran for cover.

They walk further in and was greeted by more guards.

"It's a surprise to see you bring her to me."
