Chapter 11.

*******

It has been three months the Queen heard the sour news of her once-beloved husband's newborn son.

The sudden news when it reached her marred her expressions so much that it could spitfire, and now she seeks the death of Xrysos more so now than she ever did before, only difference been. She will kill him and his entire household.

She raised another's a child as hers only for Xrysos to impregnate some whore and have a son by her.

The irate Queen sat atop her throne boiling with so much anger and hate.

"He would not be the true son of his father if he did not follow in his grandfather's footsteps!"

Atlas eyes met those of Gaad and she let out an incandescent strong breath as she sat up and then walked over to Gaad.

"You came at the right time." Her voice void of emotions.

"Indeed," Gaad hugged her. "These things should not bother you as long as you have me by your side."

Atlas pulled out of their hug and stared into Gaad silver eyes. "How I hate Xrysos for all the things he did to me!"

"We will conquer the Gates, sister." Gaad smiled.

"But how?!" She glared back at him, incensed. "We have done everything and yet we could not get the wish maker killed. I have sent men, and all had either been killed or returned unfulfilled!"

"I am starting to think, he is become invisible, like the winds!"

Both Atlas and Gaad turned towards the voice.

Athesmos had just entered into the throne room by his side were Vin the gossip and Dan.

"Even the winds get trapped by me." Gaad retorted.

"Then trap him!" Athesmos bawled. "Another child has been born of a whore!"

"Even worse, a common slave!" This time it was Atlas who had spoken.

"Where is the princess?" Gaad asked, obviously unconcerned with their rants.

"Send for the princess!" The Queen commanded one of the guards. Her eyes not leaving those of her cousin's.

"Gouria would die by the swords of your daughter." Gaad gave her a stern glare.

Atlas swallowed loudly and blinks her eyes a million times. "B-But how?!" She whispered, her anger flew out the windows in no time.

"Sound the drums of war, let them know you are ready. Then leave the rest for Gaad!" The Dark Lord spoke calmly and turned to welcome the princess as she had just walked into the hall.

"Uncle!" Zara yelled and ran into the man's embrace. "I have missed you so much!" She laughed excitedly as the man twirled her around.

"I have missed you too dearest," Gaad laughed and gently put her down on her feet. "Here, I have a gift for you." Gaad opened his palm and very beautiful necklaces appeared on it. He gently placed the jewelry around her delicate neck and watch as she giggled and squealed with delight.
