Moonlight's Mistake

settling down

Mattheo's pov

"Damian spread a word in the town that the king's arsenal for an assasin ."

"But you didn't consult the king . did you? 'he asked me .

I smiled.

"and you're asking me that?"

"Do I have to?'

His eyes widened and he paled.

"I forgot my lord . I'll take my leave ."

he left my chambers .

I woke up from a long needed sleep and came down to the hall for dinner . As I settled in for my meal I felt tiny hands grab my shoulders .

" Mat , DO you know HOW  long I've been waiting for YOU?"

"No ."

not now

"Gosh you're such an asshole, always playing hard to get . You know you'll get married to me sooner or later , why the ice guy face then ?"

"get off me ."

She squeaked in my ears . Ellie was my general's daughter. We've known each other since childhood and she grew up to be a clingy person who is obsessed over having kids with me . I mean I know I'm pretty handsome but I do not think of ever even courting her.

She's pretty friendly mostly but when she's drunk , she just breaks into the house and randomly chirps about us getting married.

Well I'll try to enjoy my meal for a fact that this is my first one of the day.

--------------

the next morning.

I was called by Desler's men the previous night about him wanting to meet me. It's wasn't a pretty sign .

I lowered on one knee with my hand on my chest , it meant I showed him respect. "Get up, come. Sit."

"I suppose you've been making decisions without feeling the need to report them to me first. "
He asked .

"I was about to tell you.  "

soon

"If it wouldn't had been you , your body would have been buried alive as deep as the ocean inside the ground . "

His eyes darkened and mouth turned into a satanic smile.

"and no one would know that you're dead."

I was escorted back home in a chariot but his words lingered in my mind .

Would someone look for me if I were dead?

Jasmine's pov

" You know sometime I really wish that she was here with us . "I knew the someone he was implying to, these days we missed mother more than we ever did. Maybe homesick even of that horrid place considering one of our only sweet memories lied there.

"She's always been there Lucas , seeing us hiding in the light so bright that we aren't capable of seeing it . " I replied inhaling deeply.

"So we are gonna sit here and die or what .?" he asked taking another grapple from my bag , trying to lift on our moods .

"I met a guy when I came here , so probably people live some where nearby and we can probably expore the place more ."

"God I knew that for once you could use your brain not like you usually do . "

I swear to jesus christ that if he wasn't my brother , my hands would have been tainted by his blood too.

We eat our grapples and head out in an unknown direction into the woods hoping for some human interactions . I needed some people bustling , fighting , gossiping sounds around me . This was just too quiet and it hit me that it had grown on me .
