Very great time for the king to drive a sword through my good heart, right in front of my peers, Khalodi let out flatly.That evening before dinner, Khalodi got into his black velvet three-piece suit an hour earlier. He was nervous, he clasped his hands behind his back. He glanced at the passage out of a corner of his eye and then turned his head away. He went to the window and looked out. He kept moving about, he told himself, trying to steer away thoughts about the possibilities of the outcome that could occur when he

He smiled, ‘Greetings your highness, may your reign last forever and be peaceful, he said ironically.‘Thank you General Khalodi. Why you all standing? Or you're not as hungry as the king?’ He laughed out loud.Kaminski felt embarrassed that he refused to answer to his article of reverence but replied immediately to Khalodi's. Gray couldn't ignore the favoritism of the king as well, it made him angry as well.‘Isn't this a lovely night? All my generals with me on the night of the supposed sacrifice, if not that a small portion

Caitlyn moved to the window, straining to see through the gloom. "I'm not sure, ma'am," she murmured. "It sounded like it was coming from very close by, maybe ten or fifteen cottages away."The grandmother's heart raced. "Pandemonium in the cottages? This is a peaceful city, why wailings in the night? Do you think... do you think they've come for the babies?"Caitlyn's face was etched with concern. "I don't know, ma'am. I think you're just overthinking and squeamish this morning."It got louder and louder,the screams. The louder it became, the closer it was. She was certain the dream was a premonition but she was unhappy she wasn't able to act in time, it pained her so much.The grandmother's gaze darted to the crib, where the twins slept on, oblivious to the growing tension in the cottage. She moved to the window, peering out into the darkness. In the distance, she could see figures moving, shadows darting between the cottages."Caitlyn, what's happening out there?" the grandmother whi

‘Children crying, children crying and someone trying to stop them,’ the deputy general answered.Suddenly, a new voice cut through the questioning, commanding and authoritative. "Enough. We're wasting time. Fan out and search the house. They have to be here somewhere." It was Henry's.She knew it was over, standing where she was she heard it clearly, why wouldn't they also? She couldn't blame it on anyone, the twins betrayed them. They just had to be quiet for about a minute more and it would have been all over.‘Woman, are you deaf? I said do you leave alone?’ Henry thundered.‘I stay with my mother-‘And?’ Henry asked cutting her short‘No one else,’ she swore.Grandmother's breath caught in her throat as she heard the sound of footsteps approaching the closet. She pressed herself and the twins further into the corner, praying that they would not be discovered.The door handle rattled, and Grandmother's heart pounded in her ears. This was it – they were going to be found. She squee

We go to reclaim our children, our most precious treasures, and to deliver justice upon those who have wronged us."The warriors listened intently, their eyes burning with a fierce determination."We know the risks that lie ahead," Williams continued, "but we also know the strength of our convictions. We fight not for glory or conquest, but for the love of our families, our freedom, and our way of life."He paused, scanning the faces of his people, his own expression etched with a deep sense of purpose."I will not lie to you – the battle will be fierce, and the odds may seem daunting.
