"Tell me about Havila."
The daughter of the Duke of Ikpala said to Loe. Of course she thought Loe was the assassinated prince.
Loe looked at the lady. She was quite beautiful but not as hot Lailah was. He could find solace in her for the meantime till he would find Lailah or just forget about Lailah.
Getting married to that lady seemed promising as the king had promised him heaven and Earth.
One of the contentions he had was the fact that he was going with the Duke of Ikpala to Havila, to meet his supposed father and for the marriage alliance to be finalized.
He had wanted to escape but had been caught by one of the guards who definitely mistook his advances.
That had pushed up some doubts about him but he had steered clear of related actions that'd kindle the flame of the doubts.

Lailah: The Milestone The Helmet of Jin
"Did you keep this here?" Ja Lia stood at the front of the door. Before him was a helmet. He knew that helmet. He had borne it before. Twas the helmet of Jin. The only question he could think of was what he had shot at the lady who was indoor and walking towards to open it. She opened the door and looked at him. "What?" She said confusedly looking at his confused face. She traced his face to where he was looking at. The helmet. "I should be asking you." She said. Ja looked at her for awhile then looked at the helmet again. He didn't know what to think. "If I knew where it's from, would I had asked you?" He shot at her. He had just gone to the market square to see if he could buy a Cuneiform or some writing material made from Papyrus. He
Lailah: The Milestone She knows all?
"Heard that the helmet of Jin paid you a visit." Lailah said to him. She was standing before him. He was seated on a wooden bench planted under one of the boabab trees along the route. One thing was making meaning of how she knew that he was plying that route, another was how she knew about the helmet. After the trauma of the arrival of the helmet, he had gone to ask around the market square for the sorcerer in the town, but he was told that the man ceased to function. He was returning home to decide where to keep the helmet when he had been called upon by Lailah from behind. He had wanted to lose her in the first place, but she was swifter than he ever imagined. Well, he could had done himself a favor of never imagining it in the first place. "What do you know?" He shot back at her. But she smiled. T
Lailah: The Milestone The loop of breaths
"When would he take my hands in marriage, father?" She said, kneeling before her father. He was seated on the throne with several chiefs before him. She was kinda the interval between the Duke and the chiefs. She would occasionally look at the pacing tiger. Not because she was scared. It had been her pet since she was a child. Twas given to her by a sorcerer. The cat had been said to be her guardian spirit. When she had noticed that Loe did have some odds with the cat, since then had she known that there was something odd about him. But she was quite glad that he didn't hide it from her. She appreciated but that was rather not enough. She could hear after the question she had asked that some of the chiefs were grunting. That wasn't hard to be held to being displeased. She didn't have to d
Lailah: The Milestone The Spoils ere the Fortnight
The Kingdom of Kula. "We'll be loyal till our last breath to whatever bidings you toss at us." One of the three kings bowing before him said. Another of the Kings didn't hide his detest but there was little he could do at the moment. He only tossed his head to and fro as though he had been bewitched, his bounty beards flowing in the air. "Speak for yourself, Ivanama." The King of Kula shot at that king. Ivanama, the King of Haojo put his head down. Not in respect but in both rage and shame. You know, when you're being belittled and there's little you can do about it. You have an idea how hot it'd burn. So was the manner at which the fellows were burning. But the degree of the pain varied. "Airu seems to have a contention." The King of Kula said again, looking at that king with bou
Lailah: The Milestone The peak of it all
The Kingdom of Ikpala. "The emperor would be coming by Fortnight." The King of Kula was the first to speak. As soon as he spoke, the king of Havila shot, "I'm sure none of us needs to be reminded of that." The King of Kula looked at him. Wearing him out with a fiery gaze. He looked away to the elegant lady seated beside him. The supposed new Queen of Havila, Lailah. Like you would guess, Lailah was still wearing the form of the Ja Lia's new lover, Goi. "Quite an eye you have for such a beauty." The King of Kula said again, smirking as he worked his odd gaze on Lailah. Lailah smiled in return. "We're not here for beauty." The King of Havila said again. He had been looking around since quite a while expecting his son and he had been told that they were prepa
Lailah: The Milestone Lao Tzu, Jimin and the unknown princess
The land of Hubrim. "What's up with them guys up there?" Jimin asked, struggling to share his gaze between Lao Tzu and the sight ahead of them. There was a group of men in sight and they seemed to had gathered around another who seemed to be acting out some moves. Lao Tzu obviously wasn't in the mood. And he didn't have the strength for the odds, "You don't get sick of surprises, eh? This time, twould be your head that'd be chopped off. " Jimin wore him out with a scornful look. He didn't owe him much of an explanation. He left him standing and hurried to catch a suiting sight of what was going on in the midst of the group. "Damn youth." Lao Tzu said in akimbo. He was wearied. Not only of the wandering but of the crazy younger brother. He could just dispose of h
Lailah: The Milestone The multiple eyes Boatman
Still Hubrim. "How much would you charge our two from here to Irala." Lao Tzu asked. "Ikpala, bro." Jimin corrected. "Yes, Ikpala. How much?" Well he wasn't the one to pay the fare but he was all over the price. How crazy that was. "151 Aureus." The boatman said. Though twas a boat, but the form of the boat was satisfying. They wouldn't have to be worried about being hit by a wave or something close to that. The sides of the boat were towering, it sure would swallow the weight of all of them. Including the man in charge. Jimin had been the one doing the speculation of the odds of surviving the boat. "How would you manage this huge thing on the waves."&n
Lailah: The Milestone The Sorcerer and the Protesters
"Is he also with you? He seems restless. And I do not deem the restless folks fit for my attention." The sorcerer said sharing his gaze between the boatman and Jimin. Twas hard to tell who he was referring to in precision. Jimin was about to talk when Tzu hopped on the discourse in his place, "He is our rider. He's with us. But we could make him stay outside if he should bother any further." "Let him stay. He seems old enough to tame the wild part of him. And if he doesn't, I might be forced to cast a spell on him." The sorcerer added. Jim was getting fed up of the tale of the man. He almost spilled the mud. The boatman was seated beside him. He had no idea why he had made that mistake. Tzu was seating opposite them and the sorcerer was standing at their front before the throne. The boatman pinched him by the
