In Battle With Time (Reylo Fanfiction) Sequel To Trust The Stars #TheWattys2016

The king's demons

Abegonion's POV:

I am wandering around my king sweet while thinking about my next move. Yes there must be a next move, soon. My troops are ready, they only need one order and they will react, immediately. But, no, that won't happen now. I have another plan, much better that doesn't involve a battle, at least not physical one.

I will play psychologically, I will play with their minds, making a war within their family ring. I will separate them, just like they separated my family from me. I only need to make sure that I don't hurt Rey or Dorothylla in the process. For now, I know everything that is happening in their sweet little Resistance Base. Ha, I have my ways.

My child is heartbroken now, I know she found out the truth, about me, about her past. And I am unbelievable happy about it. Every heartbreak over a boy can heal with time, but family wounds can't. She will forget about Ben in few year time, and come to live here like a princess, the princess she always has been. She is true royalty, real blue blood circulating through her veins. Dorothylla is too, but she is a mix between their and our royal blood.

Leia will be devastated that her closest family, her son's wife and her grandchild left them, but that is nothing compared to what they did to me. They took my only child, my most precious gift in the whole world, and they took my loving wife.

The woman I met so many years ago, while playing in one of the city's tournaments. She was there standing in the crowd, cheering for her favorite competitor, I knew even then that she cheered for me to win. I believe she was my lucky charm, I won that day, for the first time in my life, and I saw her, smiling back at me. Her smile, oh, no one can describe that feeling, it can be only felt. She seemed like a goddess, beams of light escaping from her curvy body, like warm waves that crash into me perfectly. Her long hazel hair resting on her back, perfectly braided and decorated with flowers. Her eyes, the same hazel shade, the kind that is the true and welcoming door to the sole. Rey without doubt took her looks.

That day I knew that I found the one, I just knew. Two years after our courting she became my wife, the most beautiful queen that Amerath has ever seen, and she was all mine.

I thought I was the happiest person alive, until it all went into ashes, with my sign on that rotten paper that day. I curse all of it, the pen, the government, my mind, everything. I should have listened to Emeline, she was wise, she predicted everything, but I was a fool, thinking that such an important agreement between two friendly planets can bring only good. I believed that that union will protect us. Bollocks, all bollocks.

The day of the attack I found my wife, smashed between the fallen columns of the castle, her body covered with ash, blood dripping from the biggest wound a knife can ever make. It broke my heart into millions of glass pieces, that seemed like they can never be glued together, and I was right. Tears form in my eyes every time I think of it, even now.

About my child, I thought she was long gone. My guards never found a body, and I believed that she escaped the massacre, somehow. I prayed she did. It was the only light that kept me going, the thought that I will find her again, and embrace her once more. I want to feel her in my arms, to kiss her forehead, to tell her that I am sorry. I destroyed her childhood, while believing that was doing the right thing.

God knows, how much I want to explain everything to her, to tell her that she is safe, that Dorothylla is safe too. Tomorrow I want to talk to my granddaughter and give her an opportunity to become a legal princess of this kingdom, I want to ask her to stay with me. One day I believe that Rey will accept my most gracious offer and become the heir to the throne. That is without Ben by her side. I won't allow the son of my biggest enemy to be the king and the ruler of Amerath, never.

I have a plan that will bring Leia and Ben to their knees, and it will happen even if it's is the last thing I'll do!

The new chapter is up! Yayyy, I am so happy. For the first time we see the king's point of view. What do you think about him? Is he really so evil? Do you think his ice heart can be melted? Or will he continue with his sinister plan? I would love to hear your thoughts.

So that's all for today, hope you like it, and talk to you soon! :D
