The Game Of Destiny

CHAPTER 7

Kayden POV
We have been riding since nightfall and now it's almost dawn we were far beyond Demenor ,but my thoughts were still occupied with all what happened tonight, all the humiliation,betrayal even Asher sensed my dispirited nature I wasn't able to digest that my own father cheated me
With all these thoughts wandering my mind I heard a scream which came from the forest which we have just started it , Asher followed the way from where the scream ignited, River was also getting worried about it,considering the fact the forest was completely stranger to us ,I saw a girl who was trying to fight some people which looked like a group of bandits , the girl had a sword which she was making good use of it ,this showed her dexterity towards sword fighting skills but clearly she was outnumbered without wasting any more time I unsheathed my sword and went to her aid and I was shortly followed by River, one of the bandit was just an inch away from penetrating his sword into her stomach when I caught his hand at the right time "one should never misbehave with anyone specifically with a lass !" I said before delivering a punch to his stomach which made him cry out of pain and before he could recover I kicked him hard on his chest which made him unconscious then I helped the girl to stand well to say she was good looking was an understatement she was stunning I had never seen a girl with so well defined looks, she had black eyes which contained so much warmth in it , her hair were pure black which made her looks more defined and her face was so beautiful I woke up from my delirium state when I  heard clashing of swords and my attention was drawn back to the fight , River was taking down 3 to 4 bandits at a time well in my case I was fighting with 5 of them single handed which was quite low on my part but what to do if you are suffering from an injury which leaves no stone unturned to make you more and more debilitated as time passes and I won't be surprised if my wound again starts to bleed as for the girl she was elegantly swinging her by looking at her I was certain she was no ordinary girl,only royal princess are given such kind of training within few more minutes the fight was over ,some ran for their lives,some died and some were lying unconscious
But my situation turned out to be more worse than earlier and my wound as I had expected it was again bleeding and the pain was now becoming unbearable and my legs started to go weak within seconds I succumbed on the ground on my knees River and that girl immediately ran towards me
"Oh god! Kayden your wound it's bleeding again " she said while struggling not to break down in front of me "And you are having very high fever" the girl said worriedly while touching my forehead and my eyes became too heavy to see her face ,and slowly I started to drift in the darkness and last I heard was my sister's crying and some voices of neighing horses until all went black

River's POV

After the fight was over I came near the girl to ask if she was alright well now I noticed her appearance she was very beautiful which made me a little jealous and was probably of my age or might be one year older than me she was wearing gem studded gown that means she is a princess as only royal princesses have that much of resources I inwardly thought "Are you okay?" I asked politely

"Yes,thank you so much for saving my life if you both didn't have shown up at the right time then probably I would have died, well are you alright ? You are injured!!" She said her voice laced with concern and fear

"No! No I'm alright I got the wound last night it doesn't hurt that much , by the way who are you?" I asked unable to contain my curiosity

"Well my name is Victoria Stark and I'm the princess of Gallifiry, what is your name?" Victoria asked politely

"My name is River Odinson " I answered reculantly

"Oh my god you are the princess of Demenor!!" Victoria exclaimed ,she seemed happy about it "And is he your brother? Right" she asked pointing her eyes towards Kayden , who looked quite exhausted
