"I am from…Koch dynasty" Mordin replied and for a second…silence.
"Please save me. I don't want to die-i…i want to meet my family and my daughter" he added.
"So now again Koch dunasty is involving in all this. He proved that he is a bastard" Aria grinned.
"He…he is not a good king. He only think about himself. Throw out him from the throne and save our lives" Mordin beg.
"You want me to defeat him,why?" Aria asked.
"Our late king was a legendary king for is but king Thundermon is very cruel toward us. We…we are forced on all of this" He replied.
"But-"
"What?" She interupt. " Don't worry. I will not rule on Koch dynasty but the one rule choosed by the people themselves. I don't want anything from Koch dynasty-except revenge from him if ever Koch dynasty stand against us".
"Thanks" Mordin claimed.
"Prince Darius, everything is clear here. I hope you will go back with your soldiers now and stand as an ally to us" She asked.
"Don't worry. We will go back and think about your offer" Darius replied.
"And one more thing-i want to take Mordin with us" she said, voice low but determind. "From now on, he is a formar of Aksum kingdom but i need your approvel on it-because you captured him that's why it's your decision".
"Why not but are you ready to take all the responsibilities of his action?" Darius asked.
"I am ready more than enough to make a decison so yeah, i am" she replied, steady.
There was only silence for a moment when Darius looked at her-really looked, to find something-anything.
But she didn't give any of them.
"I am giving him to your hand and now it's your turn" he said, amused.
"Thanks for your understanding. I hope we will live with peace in the future" She replied.
Aria lead her soldiers back to their praetoriums and Darius stood there, looking on the place from where she just vanished and may be-something starting to surface.
At night, outside of the Praetorium.
Ariana was outside on the ground where cold air of night touched her skin like ice.
"What are you doing here this late" a voice approached and she didn't need to see to know who he was-
Nolan.
"So, how you found out that i am here" she snorted.
"Because you always come to a quite place whenever you need to think" he replied.
"So, could you tell me about what i am thinking now" she blurted.
He didn't replied suddenly but then-
"About Mordin and koch dynasty but more than that, you are thinking about the soldiers who died in the war" he replied, really looking into her eyes and it made him dangerous more than anything because he was right.
" Mnay children lost their father and many mother lost their child on this war. I know the pain and guilt because i lost my father. "She whispered.
"Must it always be so-that when one kingdom stands against another, the weight of war falls upon entire nations, rather than resting between the two sovereigns alone?" Silence fill for a second before she addedq
" But whymust there be war at all? Can we not dwell within our own lands, in quite dignity and peace".
Nolan was silent for a second before another voice approached-
" Because the world is cruel and we have to fight to survive"
Rowan.
Aria turned to see Rowan and Aiden there.
" Because we have to fight for our family. Sovereigns should be cruel more to gain than Altruistic people knew they have to fight for themselves, for their family and people, for their homeland and sovereigns take advantages of their emotions"Aiden said.
" But even, is it not a duty of a sovereign to safeguard the well being of his people, more than to the desire to get lands of others" she murmured.
"What do you want?"Nolan asked.
"I don't know what i am thinking now but this thing is killing me from inside and i still don't know what to do?" she replied.
"Then become a sovereign not for the kingdom or yourself but for the people" Rowan answered.
Then she looked on the sky where stars were shining brightly and she thought,Could she even become a sovereign how she wanted other to be because saying things is easier than doing it more than that-applying it in ourselves.
Next morning on the capital of aksum kingdom.
Allen wasn't on the palace but went on a town near the capital and stopped beside a Mansion.
" Thanks for coming, she is waiting for you" an old lady greeted him.
"How are you lady may?" Allen asked.
" I am fine and thanks for you concern" she replied, leading him inside the house and stopped infront of a door.
" Now, i am letting it all in you" she said, leaving Allen there.
He opened the door and inside was a room full of sketches and paintings on the wall amd there beside the window. The room was dimly lit, warm with the golden glow of late afternoon sun filtering through the walls.
A lady sat on the wheelchair,painting something beside the table infront of the window.
"So you have came" That lady said, amusedwithout turning her head from the painting.
"How do you always manage to know it's me, every single time?" He asked, now near just behind her.
" Because my heart knows" she replied showing him the painting she just painted.
On the painting, they both were standing and laughing together-real smile.
He hugged her before she knew.
" Sorry, sorry for everything. Sorry that i was too late to protect you and… and this all happened. You legs don't work just because of me and-"
" Hey! You again want me to remember those things"
" No. I am just- i just don't want to lose you again" He murmured.
" I am not going anywhere and how could i when my legs don't work. Do you expect me to run away from you with this disable legs" she snickered but a tear slide from her check but she wept it before he saw.
Then he pulled apart and without warning, he slide his arms beneath her thighs and back.
"Wha-hey" she gasped, but before she could protest further, he lifted her like she weighed nothing more than a feather caught in the wind.
"Let's go" he said, already walking.
"Where?" she whistled.
"You need some fresh air" he claimed.
" But you also could took me on the wheelchair, why you lif-".
" Don't you want me to lift you" he interrupt.
Her lips parted but no words came.
