STEEL AND FLESH PRESSING MATTERS
"Good day Lord Wemblewin." Lord Mordian greeted, with a bright face, ignoring the cold look which was directed at him.Lord Wemblewin shook hands with him, but it was very obvious that this was done out of reluctance, however the baron said no word in response to Lord Mordian's greeting.Lord Mordian noticed this, and he did not bother greeting or exchanging pleasantries with the rest of the noblemen, because he could see that the majority of them were not comfortable with the fact that he was not behind bars.Soon they entered inside the extravagant castle, however Lord Mordian moved closer to Lord Garthine Polion. "Garthine Polion, it am starting to feel like it is better to be locked up in the dungeon, than to be in the midst of these fellows that are apparently filled with hatred and suspicion of me." He complained.Lord Garthine Polion grinned. "I do not know for you, but I take it as a good sign.""What! Why?" Lord Mordian scowled."It means that they have no idea what motivated
STEEL AND FLESH THE BOLDNESS OF A LION
Grave silence was now upon the courtroom, and all eyes were now fixated at Lord Wemblewin, who was the baron of Laoia. Great noblemen of Bauthinia, I great you all, you all have been very supportive, and helpful during my short reign as the acting ruler, of Laoia, and Bauthinia as a whole."I will like to thank Lord Garthine Polion, for providing constantly providing us with accurate information concerning the security of our King. Thank you Lord Garthine Polion for keeping an eye on our dear king so he would not fall victim of some greedy personalities that seek his crown and the power that was bestowed upon him by the gods." Lord Wemblewin turned to look at Lord Mordian which meant that his disrespectful speech, which alleged acts of treason was directed at the king's uncle, however Lord Mordian understood this, and grinned in response to what Lord Wemblewin just said."I also want to thank my Lord king Lauihnio for giving me an opportunity to lead this great and wonderful people,
STEEL AND FLESH APOLOGY
There was a big call for calm among the disagreeing factions, however the king looked undisturbed at the recent developments. Lord Mordian wondered why his nephew refused lying but instead stated clear that he was not going to oblige to the council's request.While the mumuring was still going on, Lord Mordian turned to Lord Garthine Polion, and motioned for him to come a bit closer.With Lord Garthine Polion bending towards Lord Mordian, the latter whispered into his ear. "I never knew that your king my nephew was as bold as this. I swear by Oridon's mace, I would never be bold enough to disregard the request of the council of elders, right in their faces."Lord Garthine Polion grinned, and returned back to his position behind the king's chair.With time, the noises died down after much effort from Lord Wemblewin, Lord Barthine loust and elder Rabon to call the assembly to order."With all due respect my king, I am sure that members of the council together with myself would like to
STEEL AND FLESH JUDGEMENT OR FAVOUR 1
A grave silence was now upon the courtroom, but it did not last long because after about twelve heartbeats, slight mumurs resumed once again because most of the council members started conversing with themselves, probably due to Lord Mordian's request for forgiveness."Uncle, what are you doing, this is very unnecessary." King Lauihnio whispered to his ear."Shhhh Lauihnio, I have to do this.""What if they refuse to forgive you?""I do not know, nothing will happen either way." King Lauihnio shrugged. King Lauihnio shook his head lightly, looking a bit embarrassed."Look Lauihnio, I am doing this out of courtesy, not because I am afraid of them." He said. "As a matter of fact I fear only the gods - and you."King Lauihnio was shocked at his uncle's confession however he struggled to believe what he heard from his uncle because to him, there was no way that he was a source of dread to unarguably the greatest and most lethal swordsman he had ever set his eyes on."It may seem shocking
STEEL AND FLESH JUDGEMENT OR FAVOUR 2
"You all wanted my verdict concerning my uncle? Here is my verdict and I swear by Oridon's mace, anyone that questions the decision I am about to make today, I will treat such offence as I will treat a man who is guilty of treason." He said firmly, before standing before his uncle face to face."How could you do this Lauihnio." He said. "After all I have done to prove my allegiance to your reign. Have you forgotten Merveilland, I swear by Oridon's mace you will be a fool to slay me, just to please these weak, old shitbags, who have good oratory skills, but are weak willed and would sell you over if they are heavily rewarded with coin." He uttered in vexation.King Lauihnio still looked unconcerned at his uncle, and even smiled sinisterly at him. "Get him on his knees."One of the soldiers stepped on lord Mordian's calf, an act that brought him on his knees, causing him to wince in pain.Now staring at death in the face, his heart began to thump. How could this be, what must have come
STEEL AND FLESH THE ARMORY
King Lauihnio was taking a walk with his sons, Aynam and Daeymen around the palace. The young princes aged fourteen and ten respectively were very much excited while they moved and interacted with their father."Dad, apart from studying, what else did you spend your time doing while you were in the woods?" Aynam asked."Why do you want to know Aynam?""Why shouldn't I know what my father is up to, or is it wrong to ask you about things that disturb me?" Aynam scowled.King Lauihnio smiled. "Oh Aynam, you never seize to impress me with your inquisitiveness, however I will tell you what I was doing in the woods apart from reading, and studying.""Tell me father." Aynam looked eagerly at his father awaiting his response."Well I was hunting.""Hunting?""Yes, hunting.""Wow, that sounds interesting, so what animals were you hunting?""Is that really necessary?" "Yes it is.""No I cannot answer that.""Dad." Aynam frowned, creasing his eyebrows to the center. "Come on, what animals were
STEEL AND FLESH CONFRONTATION OF PRINCES
"Hey, Aynam! Daeymen!" King Lauihnio snapped at his boys who struggled to claim the sword that Daeymen had found. One of the soldiers at the armory, moved closer to them and separated them, however the soldier seized the weapon from them.The young princes snarled at each other, while they exchanged insultive words and threats at each other.The captain in charge of the armory bent towards King Lauihnio's ear. "Your majesty, I admire the spirit of the young princes. I am sure that at their age they can wield the sword." He whispered.King Lauihnio furrowed his eyebrows. "What do you mean." "I suggest that the young princes engage in a duel with each other, their anger towards each other calls for a fight, we may think that the lads are mad at each other but what I believe is that the warrior inside of them wants to be set free."The captain who was a veteran believed that he spoke out of experience.At first king Lauihnio frowned on sighting the hostility of his sons towards each oth
STEEL AND FLESH RAGE IN SHAME
A soldier was appointed by the captain in charge of the armory, to serve as the umpire for the duel, and he stood in between the young princes, who were now fully prepared with their armour, shields, and wooden swords.King Lauihnio who was sitting down with the captain, very close to the duel ground made of clay, heaved a sigh because he saw this as a proud moment.He however had less concern for the possible injuries that the lads may sustain, but he was eager to witness the extent of their skills for the sword, having being taught how to handle the sword since the time they were able stand comfortably on their two feet.No doubt, the numerous sword drills organised by king Lauihnio for his sons, were very much met with criticisms from their mother, as she dimmed it premature and unnecessary for her tender sons, to learn the ways of war, pain, and blood.The umpire signalled for the commencement of the duel among the young, and snarling in rage, they hurtled towards each other."You
