Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Aella realized that power that her mother holds in the heart of Richart. One day hasn't yet passed since they send the message to Richart through newsprint, yet he decided immediately because her mother is involve.

She wants to laugh at Richart. Love is blinding him. What could be his reaction, when he'll learn about her mother's plan and her being the daughter of the woman he love. He will get devastated.

He became brainless in an instant. Richart's trust will kill him. He trusted her mother so bad, that he is willing to sacrifice his men to save her mother.

Looks like she will have fun facing Richart and using her mother to bring torment to him.

They had their final meeting earlier to plan other things. Aella is walked inside of the room that is given to girls, so that they could prepare themselves.

Kai is not with her and went with Keiran to place help with the preparation, and make sure the safety of her mother during the battle. Aella can't help but to laugh at Kai because Keiran complains to her that Kai is so mad with him.

"How are you ladies?" She asked the girls and she saw them trying their clothes for the battle. The three was given their respective clothes to use and it's the grandmaster who gave them. The three looked at her.

"Looks like the grandmaster wants us to be on his team so bad. He's giving us a lot of gifts." Lyndsey said.

Aella crossed her arms and smiled at the girls. "I think he will try to hire the three of you after this battle." She responded. The girls will be a good asset for the Knights. They're have a good battle skills and experiences. They will contribute a lot in Knights.

"I'm not interested. I want to continue helping the nuns in the cathedral." Barbara said.

"Me too." Lyndsey said. "But I think Febbie can grab the opportunity, since she is still jobless." She added.

Febbie's brows furrowed and looked at Lyndsey with offended face, and her one hand is on her chest. "You wounded me, Lyndsey."

Lyndsey smirked at Febbie. "Truth hurts. You need a serious job."

Febbie rolled her eyes on Lyndsey and glanced at Aella. "By the way, how's the preparation? Kai is not with you, what happened to that man?" She asked Aella.

"He is with Keiran, helping with the preparation." Aella answered.

Febbie's laughed filled the room. "I bet, he's trying to fight Keiran now. He's still fucking angry that Keiran was your crush." Febbie said and they all agreed.

The light from the sun is slowly disappearing and darkness are consuming the whole land of Aerthys. As the night set in, it's the start of the war between the both sides.

Carriages, carts and the knight riding horses are on their way to the battle zone. Ellaina was being transport using a carriage, and beside of the carriage are Aella and Kai riding horses. Kai's father provided them horses to be used in transportation. While the girls are sitting on the cart behind them to guard the weapons.

Aella's eyes roamed around and observed the surroundings. Its silence are giving making her heart pound faster and louder. She can hear her own breath and the noises of the carriages, carts and the horse's foot's step. Her mind is shouting at her something that she don't want to believe.

Something is wrong, Aella, she thought.

Aella's eyes met Kai's, they stared at each other's eyes.

"Are you okay?" Kai mouthed at her. He can see her worries. She wanted to nodded but she don't want to worry Kai and affect others. She should not be worried, everything will be alright, she thought again. She gave Kai a fake smile.
