The Sleepover

Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ３０

Alejandro was on a rampage. He was mad about the fact that his wedding got interrupted, and he was even more mad with the fact that his town was destroyed.

"Calm down." Grima said to her lousy son. Alejandro turned around and glared at her "Nay i shall not halcyon down! wherefore art thee coequal h're?"

"I am here because we need to talk." Grima had tried hard to talk to her son but he was either running up to Rumaisa to check on her or down to the dungeons to speak to his wives.

He was all over the place and for once, he had responsibilities which he didn't know how to do. "This is why I told him to focus on his lessons." Balisto said shaking his head.

"I doth not wanteth to talketh to thee." Alejandro said to Grima. He turned to Balisto and asked "Wh're is valen?" To which Balisto replied "he's with Marium."

Alejandro tutted "He's at each moment with yond wench." He stopped and thought about something before slowly smiling "We shouldst receiveth did rid of those folk."

Balisto and Grima turned to each other "get rid of them?" They both asked. "Nay we shouldst amerce those folk."

"Alejandro have you gone mad?" Grima asked him. Why was he talking about punishing them? "Why would we punish them?"

"Marium did get kidnapp'd because of rayyana right?" Balisto and Grima nodded still not understanding what he was talking about. "And tariq wenteth to war on us because of rayyana.  Because of those folk mine own town is did destroy, so we destroyeth those folk."

Grima and Balisto were silent trying to decipher what the fuck Alejandro just said. "Uh..I don't think we should destroy them..." Balisto said looking at Grima for help.

"We are not destroying them. We are helping them go home!" Grima realized her mistake as soon as she said it. Balisto turned to her, Grima turned to Balisto and both of them turned to Alejandro. "And how art those gents going home?"

"I meant when they go home, their only purpose here is to go home." Alejandro hummed still not believing Grima entirely. "Alejandro stop going mad." Balisto said.

Alejandro shook his head before waving Grima and Balisto away "Wend hence." Grima and Balisto turned around and started walking out of the throne room. Once they were out of earshot Balisto turned to Grima "why would you mention them going home?!"

"I don't know it just came out!" Balisto looked around before talking in hushed whisper again "we need to be careful, we don't know what Alejandro has up his sleeve."

Grima nodded, Balisto dragging her away both of them unaware of exactly what Alejandro had up his sleeve.

Valen had believed in love once upon a time when he met a girl named Fiona in elementary. Contrary to belief, he loved her because she had shared her crayon with him but he still believed that he loved her.

Now as an older person, he realizes that what he had felt for Fiona was nothing compared to the burn he felt for Marium.

She was an odd girl sometimes he has to admit. But on other days he really enjoyed spending time with her. He tried not to think about the days when Marium would have to eventually leave him, even though he knew it was soon.

Valen was whistling a little tune down the hall, something he has picked up on to clear his stress, when he heard voices. He quieted down and listened because he thought he recognized the voices.

He approached closer and realized that he did know the voices. They were Mariums and Rayyana's. Valen hesitated, he should leave right? Marium wouldn't like him eavesdropping on their conversation.
