The Game Of Destiny

CHAPTER 3

Lucas's POV

When I heard that Kayden was up for fighting the war I was so relieved to know that our plan was working  finally I will get rid of him ,frankly I never liked him only Kataya was the one who loved him so I had to suffer him because she was the love of my life plus he always comes in between the throne and my son. I've always thought that Drake will become my heir, my  successor but that Kayden always wins the heart of the public and my poor son Drake always had endure so much pain because of him but not now I was deep in thoughts when I was brought back to reality by a knock on my room's door "Come in" I ordered and saw my son Drake "Is he gone?" I asked him in nodded in approval but his apprehensive expression clearly stated that he worried about something so inquired if something was wrong

"Father he was asking about his reward " this simple statement made all my worries gone "Don't worry about it son everything is under our control " I said while smiling

"Tell me is Eric gone?" I asked not able to control my exhilaration

"Yes dad the plan is perfectly running it's course!! But I think that Justin has sensed our plan he's asking too many questions and I even heard that he going to help Kayden that can ruin our plan!!"

"Perhaps his usefulness has run its course!! You know what to do, don't you ?" I asked  I huge smile came on his face

Kayden's POV
Me and my army were almost there but it was so strange that there was nothing wrong as such Eric explained everything was fine " It doesn't make any sense " I whispered to myself even Asher,my horse could sense my restlessness well speaking of my horse he has been my constant companion for years and my most trusted friend sometimes I talk to him when I'm very upset and he neigh in response as if he can understand me and is trying to uplift my spirits but I can't fail to recognise that he actually does!

Suddenly everything became clear it was a bloody trap in which I easily fell , I mentally slapped myself for acting so dense. I was so consumed in my thoughts that I didn't noticed that an arrow came flying towards me and hitting me just above my heart a sizzling pain made its way as a result making me dizzy , in my defence Asher reacted vigorously by standing on his two hind legs to protect me from another attack and I decided to wake up from my delirium as its time act , another arrow came towards me but I ducked at the right time making the plan of the culprit abortive and my eyes found the culprit he was none other than than Eric himself

Slowly and steadily my own army turned against me under the captaincy of Eric no doubt he was here under the orders of Drake which made me abominate him even more and I decided if I made it alive from this which I will,I surely teach him a lesson by telling all this to the King

Eric wasn't a fool he ordered the army to embattle me and he ordered the soldiers to attack but i was well prepared as was Asher I unleashed my sword and turned Asher towards the running soldiers and started spinning the sword as for Asher he started kicking the soldiers we both are always one unit in wars we protected each other which made us undefeatable ,all soldiers were falling as life left their bodies all thanks to the dexterous sword fighting skills taught by my grandpa Joe who was a very acclaimed warrior and died in a mysterious fire two years ago who always showed me the right path ,his death had left me & river both dispirited but we both managed to handle the situation
I was swinging the sword with all my might as I was getting very tired perhaps of the loss of blood but I didn't stop ignoring the fact that I'm becoming weak

At last Eric ordered the soldiers to stop and they meekly lowered their weapons down and backed off
Eric jumped from his horse to fight me so did I completely neglecting Asher's concerning gaze
Eric was glaring me hungrily like I was a piece of meat and said " I will kill you and will have my reward , my sweet reward, my sweet River!!!"
Well after hearing this I became furious,l became like a mad man who doesn't know anything about right or wrong, all pain was long forgotten except anger & only aggression I gave him many severe blows some he douched but couldn't save himself from my next deadly blow I stabbed him right in his chest and a pain filled cry made its way from his insane mouth which was very melodious to my ears . I wasn't able to digest that how could Drake do this to her own sister, to my sister!! After that I punched him in his ribs which made a crackling voice as his ribs came in contact with my fist and I screamed at the top of my lungs " How dare you took my sister's name with your filthy mouth!!" My each word was laced with abomination before he could counter back with his filthy tongue I spin my sword and swiftly slide it through his throat and saw his life departing from his body which made the remaining army elude by the time I could do something weakness consumed me and I succumbed to the ground where light left from my eyes and everything went black
