The Lightning Queen

Chapter 3

Maven

I hate rivers and lakes and Oceans. Basically anything that threatens me. As we sail closer towards Prince State, I'm hoping I see her and capture her and maybe I'll torture her a few days for leaving me.

I should kill Cal infront of her and make her watch but I know she isn't there. Iris watches me with disgust in her eyes as usually. I wish I could mouth I fucking hate you too but her father is there so I have to act like a good son-in-law. I hope Mare was jealous when I married her, just like how I'm jealous she ran away with my brother.

But nevertheless I still love and think about her a little too much. Some nights I have half dreams about her. I remember the first night I dreamt about her I cried. It was after she left, then I started dreaming again.

Sometimes I dream of killing her and then I wake up with my pillow wet. Some nights I dream of kissing and cradling her and I'm happy for days and then I remember I don't have her and then I burn someone alive.

It's his fault. He took her from me. She was always mine but knowing my brother he'll find a way to break her heart.

According to my sources they broken up and she left Delphine yesterday morning.

It's safe to assume she read the letter by now.

"My King." I turn to my cousin the last loyalish blood I have left.

"Proceed." I snarl, I should be nice to him he's the only person I have that I trust.

"I just thought you wanted to know that your brother and King Samos are at the Rift preparing for the wedding." I give a ardent smile.

"Good I want them both mutilated." His eyes widen.

"And Mare Barrow?" I don't tell people about my finding of her she's to personal to me and by personal I mean my fucking weakness. I tried to kill her once.

Unfortunately after that moment I can't let her die or get hurt. Even though I want to because she let me torture her when she didn't really kill mother and the other reason is for leaving again.

"Detain her." He nods briefly but I know she isn't there.

"And." His eyes holds a sprinkle of curiosity.

"None of your business Samson. You're dismissed." I don't like when people ask me about her. I feel like their trying to control what I feel for her. Iris has only asked me once about Mare and I almost burnt her to a crisp.

He doesn't walk of instead he continues

"We have arrived and half of our marine fleet are stationed at Prince River. The remaining half of House Laris has their jets ready." House Laris an import house, half loyal and the other half stupid. The loyal half were greatly rewarded for their loyalty.

"Excellent, tell everyone to get ready, it's going to be a blood bath." I say all the while adjusting my battle armor.

He nods.

"Time to behead the traitors and ruin a wedding." I clap my hands together and give the most enthusiastic smile.
