Kinlanture Vol I: The Kingdom of Forgotten Misfits (Completed)

Chapter 15

A day had passed. Aden was feeling better and was able to walk again. His strength was back.

The people of the Frost Kingdom were rebuilding and cleaning up the rubble that was once their homes. They were all working together to rebuild all under the command of their king and queen.

"If it was not for you all being here, who knows what would have happened to our people" Wren praised as he bowed to the group.

"We need to get going. No time for this bull shit" Aden said as he rolled his eyes, wandering away from the group.

Neva smiled softly as she watched him walk away. She could sense a kindness in him and did not take any offence to his attitude.

"Take care alright? If you need anything or any help, please do not hesitate to ask" Wren said as he joined hands with Neva.

They all bowed and said their good byes before meeting up with Aden to continue on. They had spent more than enough time in the Frost Kingdom. They needed to move on and try to stop the next attack. The next kingdom, the Star Kingdom, was their next stop.

Wren and Neva stood together looking at their kingdom. Their hands were joined together. Neva looked up to Wren with a smile as she leaned against him. He looked down at her before carefully moving in to give her a soft kiss.

Selina looked back and sighed, "How cute are they? Wouldn't it be great to be so in love like that?"

Adara kept her head down as she felt herself blushing. She was unable to stop herself from thinking about Gale. She could still feel his lips on hers and his body pressed against hers. She did not like this feeling. She felt so vulnerable and so out of control. She could not stop thinking about him and wondering when she would see him again. She shook her head as she tried to focus on the task at hand.

"They were lucky enough to fall in love with who they were being forced to be with" Aster replied.

"Since there isn't a Star princess, what happens with you?" Selina asked as she felt herself becoming a bit jealous with the thought.

"If a royal does not have a possible royal to marry, suitable subjects are presented until the royal chooses. If they fail to choose on their own, one will be chosen for them" Adara stepped in to explain.

Aster nodded in agreement. He had been turning down every suitor that had been offered to him. His heart was with Selina and he just could not seem to shake her. The idea of marrying someone when his heart was with someone else seemed unfair. To himself and to the person he marries.

Adara also did not have a prince. The prince of the Mars Kingdom, Iri, had passed away a few years before in battle. She was not in love with Iri, nor did she ever believe she would have ever fallen in love with him. Yes she was saddened by his death but deep down she was relieved. She no longer had to be tied down and now she had a say in what happened in her kingdom. That's all she wanted.

"So since Selina's prince is not around... she gets to choose a suitor?" Claire asked, butting into the conversation.

"Yeah it does" Aster said softly.

Selina did not know what to think of this. Yes it was nice that she got to choose a prince but ideally, she would want to choose Aster. She was so fascinated by him and he was the only person she had ever felt a connection with. She felt like Aster would be the best choice and the only choice that would make sense.

"For the love of Christ can we stop talking about this?" Aden snapped as he led the group.

"Why? Just because you have a princess that you love doesn't mean we all do" Adara chimed in with a sarcastic smile.
