“Rose please! I've told you a dozen times already, I'm not going for Deam's party” Ellinor was about to step out of Rose's room when the young lady blocked her path to the door with pleading eyes…“He invited us to his mask party Ellinor. I rejected him last two years! I don't want to disappointed him again!” “Why do you care about how he feels now? You told him no for two years, you don't think he's already hurt?” “Ellinor!” Ellinor rolled her eyes, she really didn't expect Rose to call for her so they could have this discussion! She had better things to do with her time doesn't she? Like sharpening her sword and doing a hundred stretch before dawn…“Ellinor,please come with me okay? I have to go to this party!” “Did Master approve?” Ellinor asked Rose whined, almost sobbing at the double rejection she was getting from both her father and her trusted friend, Ellinor! “Father has been meditation all day and his maids told me he said he didn't want anyone to disturb him” “It's
After making sure to saddle their horses in a place they would remember later that night, Ellinor and Rose stepped into the party taking in the carnival-like setting..Ellinor was blown away! She was thinking it would be some in-house party with a handful of people…But this was no different from the end of the year festival the kingdom held for the past century!“This is so beautiful! Better than I imagined!” Rose said with a smile on her face.There were candle lights around the path leading into the party and on the trees were fairy lights.Something that was surely made by someone with gifts…There were countless food and drinks on the table which made it difficult for Ellinor to choose which to start first!She wasn't expecting to enjoy the party but from the solemn beating of the drums and the beautiful music playing in the background, she might as well dance the night away!“I should say hello to Deam” Rose said, pulling Ellinor with her..Ellinor wasn't sure where they were h
It first started as something light on the lips until Keith pulled Ellinor closer and their kiss deepen..His hands around her waist as he kissed her passionately and fiercely..There was no escaping for her as she was overwhelmed by the intensity of what was happening! It was almost breathtaking and she forgot where she was for a moment!Suddenly she snapped and recalled that she had to go and look for Rose and get away from Keith!Almost as though she had planned it, Rllinor pulled away and took to her heels running and leaving Keith completely stunned+He had come to the party with Sean and was hoping to have a nice time when he felt a hand pull him away.He had no clue who she was but from her back view, he was already mesmerised by the masked beauty in pink and blue!He had no idea where she was pulling him to but he was willing to go anywhere with her!But now, she had break their kiss and took to her heels. He didn't even get her first name!“Hey, you didn't tell me your name!
For the hundredth time that night, Ellinor turned aimlessly on her bed. Sleep was far away from her and she knew damn well it was hopeless trying to force it.. She and Rose were able to return back to their respective rooms without being noticed.Ellinor had slipped out of the wretched gown and stuff it under her bed before jumping on her bed to sleep…The feel of his lips on hers would continue to hurt her thoughts for as long as she can remember! She had tried a cup of water and a glass of milk but to no avail! Nothing seems to be working no matter how hard she tried!What is she going to do now? But the kiss wasn't so bad. It was rather very soft and seductive even…Something that made her want more than just a kiss from Keith ..“Snap out of it! He's your trainee!” Ellinor reminded herself, slapping her chin as well..What on earth is she doing right now? Thinking about such….intimate acts with Keith? KEITH of all the men in the entire universe! She must have really lost it!
For hours under the hot sun, Keith went on punching and punching the fullness of his energy..The only wise decision he had made was to make sure he had eaten something before going out to look for his so-called trainer..Ellinor was under the shed seeming to be asleep while Keith to try this best to concentrate..The thoughts of the night before seem to erode his mind. The beautiful lady from the night before was the only thing on his mind.He was even more annoyed that he didn't get a name from her after such a mind blowing kiss.And that red beautiful hair, adorned with accessories and the colour of her garment that seems to compliment her skin…She looked absolutely beautiful and stunning in that dress. Like his dream woman..Keith continued to beat and punch the tree figure until he couldn't anymore.He glanced at Ellinor who seemed to be completely out there sleeping. He decided to go in search of something to eat and return to his vigorous traning.He walked into the mansion whi
“There's a roaster on the wall, if you name appears there, you have to move to Temple Jade before the end of today.” Keith notices everyone making their way towards the said wall in a hurry.“Please lord. Have mercy on my soul! I don't want to end up in that temple” Keith couldn't stop wondering what was so terrible about Jade temple! It seems like some place for monks, and that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.Liv8ng with monks, you learn the most useful piece of advice as a ypung man and maybe some great martial arts..Why were the men so bothered? Should he be running up and down, too? Should he really be concerned? He glances up at Ellinor, who had the most sinister smile on his face. That certainly isn't a good sign! That devilish bastard, who knows what he had in mind for Keith?Ellinor could run a sword around his neck without thinking twice if he had the chance! Keith made his way to the wall in search of his name. His heart was racing, and his hands seemed a bit
The Jade temple must be as bad as they say! Even Lady Rose is worried for his own safety! Keith decided to check who had him sent off to Jade temple and just as he expected, Ellunor was right in front of Rose.Hands behind h8s hack and face emotionless as he stared back at Rose.“I was trained by the very best there. He is lacking endurance and strength. Hade temple will help him get that and all he needs is just a few weeks” “A few weeks? You sound like you're so sure he would survive that horrible place “ “Let's hope he survives” Ellinor said quietly and almost as though saying a prayer.Keith was mortified! He was going to a place where the certainty of his survival was next to none! And his instructor is here doing what? Hoping he would survive it?!How could Ellinor do this? What sort of training did he have to go through that he could teach Keith himself? Keith stood there, what is he going to do next? “I was about to look for you” Keith turned to face he so called instruct
“Welcome to the Jade temple” Keith turned to see three men standing on a podium, all dressed in black and gold robes.Their hair was long enough to touch the ground and a generous lush of silver..“As you all know, you will be staying in the Jade temple and training as well. Congratulations to the ones who were able to make it pass the wall and those that are outside…”The old man smiles in a very cocky way as his eyes landed on Keith..“They might have to fight for their lives!”There was instantly murmuring amongst the men as they begin to wonder what a old man was trying to say…‘It means that they will be fighting with the bears tonight. Hopefully they are able to survive before morning then the gate will be open again..”Keith was flabbergasted and completely shaken by their words. How could they let something like this happen to the men and smile about it?Lives are involved here and yet the old man still stared at Keith with a bright smile..What sort of twisted sense of humou
