Chapter 3
Lexa

I sat on the throne while Anya, Edward and Abby are waiting for me to discuss something but i can't seem to concentrate. I was hunted by her beauty. For years i silently longed for her, for years i suffered and resisted the urge to just take her away but i know this is for the best for both of us. I married Costia but i never stop thinking about her. The walls that i built for years easily crumbled just by looking at her and all i could do is watch her from a far just making sure that she's safe. But not allowed to love her and make her happy. "my queen?" Edward pulled me out of my thoughts. I cleared my throat and adjusted myself in my seat. "The ice queen is planning to over throne me. I need to know who's my people or not. The clans should decide whether they stand by my side or to the enemy and i need you to do that for me.." i said looking at the sky king and queen. "You mean pollute all clan to see who's in our side and not?" the sky queen asked. "yes exactly then immediately slaughter all that defies me."i said while twirling my dagger." We can make a potion and disguise it as a drink, the drink will turn into red when that person is against you your majest and blue for loyalty of the crown. " the sky king suggested." then we can serve it during the full moon festival, all 13 clans are always present in that event. " Anya added. I nodded in agreement. That would be a great idea, its silent and yet effective. The enemy would not notice a single thing. "That settled then, Titus and Indra could participate in this plan, i know them well enough... they have gained my trust for how many centuries, we can start plotting tomorrow afternoon the full moon festival is only 10 days from now..i can't afford to lose this chance, no one should know about this even my wife got it?" i commanded them. They immediately bowed and agreed. I looked at Anya and said" one more thing.. I want you Anya to train the sky princess, i know she's already capable in defending herself but i just want to make sure.. For her safety.. You and Indra could take turns in helping her grow strong. But she should not be aware that it is my orders.. "" as you wish your majesty" Anya answered. "thank you Abby and Edward you've done a great job raising her.." i said to the sky king and queen. I could see concern in their eyes. "i promise to protect her.. I want to give her a peaceful life not like this.. Not a life of war and destruction.. So please help me build that world for her.." i said to them almost pleading. I could feel a tear roll down my eyes and i immediately wipe it off." we will serve the crown till the day we die.. "Edward said with reassuring smile. I smiled and nod at him. I looked outside the window and saw birds flying peacefully in the blue bright sky. Blues.. Just like her eyes.. She will never know who am I to her and she will remain a stranger to me.. That's how it is.. And thats how it should be.
