Questions of Life Path

The ambiance of the Wallachian port was the first view that Chandra and The Defenders were catching at the time their ship landed.

'It's a crowded port!' Chandra sighed and carried her stuff to the horse carriages with some hands from The Defenders. They planned to go straight to the chateau of The Mustache in the Bhagavanta Kingdom by land.

Chandra and The Mustache would transport themselves with a horse carriage to somewhere and continue to the final destination by horsing.

The other of The Defenders, The Tracer and The Observer decided to go by horsing to return to their headquarters.

"With the curiosity in my head, may I know where Prince Kumara is?" The Mustache whispered in Chandra's ear.

They decided to return to the Bhagavanta Kingdom without Kumara as he lost somewhere since the night, he was seen sitting on the garden bench. But no one realized that he could disappear anytime he wanted and needed to travel among dimensions and return to his palace unless Chandra did.

Chandra took a deep breath. "I don't know. He's a half-celestial creature and a prince from another world!"

"Let's wait for him to appear!" Chandra drifted her steps to a near street seller who was selling some tropical fruits.

Her fingers were busy to choose some good ripe fruits and she wasn't aware that there was a pair of beautiful eyes staring at her.

'I should tell Elena about her! The white lily has escaped from the cage.' Jovanka pulled up her hoodie mantle to cover and shrink her face. She rushed to blend into the crowd and wandered herself somewhere. She horsed to take herself to Elena's place.

In the midst of time, inside his palace, Kumara was sitting in a bed with a half-naked body.

Two swords were nudging his throat from the left and the right side.

"Do you think that we are a weak clan, Prince Kumara?" The leopard woman sniffed and still held her sword. "We, tigers, are loyal to our clan! You and the Ophidian race have been ages to hold power over us!" She gritted her teeth.

Kumara took a deep breath, calmly staring at both of the two women from the tiger races. He expected a night full of passion and lust instead of ending in front of their swords.

'I am a prince of wars…' He thought as he sniffed with his two hands tied up behind him.

"Declare that we are not your concubines either. We are free from becoming your sexual mates!" The panther woman nudged the sword into his throat, scratching the skin with the sharp tip of the sword.

Kumara sneered. "You can't hide from me!" His jaws clenched and spoke in a deep tone as he tried to control his anxiety.

"Don't you ever do that! Don't ever try to track us anymore! Unless you are trying to confront Princess Chandra as she is a part of us!" The leopard woman grasped his chin and gripped it tightly.

Her green eyes looked deeply into Kumara's eyes as she kissed him and sucked his lips passionately.

"Do you think that we don't know about it, Prince Kumara?" She pulled away her lips from his moist lips while her hands still gripped Kumara's chin. "Your body smells like a tigress since that day you had dinner with her!" She smirked.

The panther woman smiled, caressed his cheek, and licked his behind ear as Kumara gasped.

"I do love mating with you, the Ophidian prince, Prince Kumara. But we love our freedom too, your poison of love could not be enough to make us be your submissive concubines!" She kneeled and caressed the inner thighs of Kumara before she did something that made Kumara moan.

They both left Kumara hanging with his unfinished passions as he reclined on his side. The bed where he was reclining felt so cold. The two concubines had run away from his palace and returned to each clan where they belonged to. His stomach got painful too, he suspected that the two concubines had served him some meals that his digesting system was sensitive for.

'They tried to defeat me!' Kumara cringed as he tried to hold his stomach ache.

While in the Wallachian, Elena looked worried as she carried Victoria with one of her arms. She saw Victoria look weak after vomiting twice that morning. Victoria wasn't able to eat anything. She put Victoria into her horse carriage and asked the horsemen to take her back to the King Dragon's palace.

"I'll be following you from behind!" She told the horsemen.

"Victoria, tell me, are you okay?" She held Victoria's arm as she saw Victoria's face look so pale.

"I don't know. I just feel my stomach got sick this morning with everything that I smelled!" Victoria covered her mouth as she felt that she wanted to vomit again. The odor of the leathered seat where she was positioned made her sickened.

"What could I do to make you feel better, Victoria?" Elena took a deep breath.

"I need something sour. Would you please get me something like that?" Victoria rubbed her forehead while the other hand covered her mouth.

Elena sighed and tapped Victoria's thigh. "Don't worry!"

She left Victoria inside the horse carriage and took one horse to ride.

Elena rushed to some street fruit sellers and asked a seller to pack her some tropical fruits. As she walked to her horse, she collided with a gingered curly-haired woman.

She pushed the woman harshly as the woman had blocked her way unintentionally. The woman looked at her as she almost made her fall to the ground.

"Please be polite!" The woman asked her calmly.

Elena wiped her nose and stared at the woman impatiently. "I don't have much time to deal with you!"

"Hey!" The woman yanked Elena's arm. "You are so rude, young woman!"

Elena pulled her arm from the woman's grip. "Rude is a part of me!" She unsheathed her sword and directed it to the woman. "Shut your mouth, Lady!" She stared at the woman before rushing to her horse.

Chandra stared at the back of the woman who was rushing with her horse. 'She's so impolite!' She sighed and wiped her nose.

She dusted off her long dress after cleaning her two hands that she used to lean her body on the ground after the young woman hit her.

She approached The Mustache that he was waiting for her.

"Should we leave now, Princess?" The Mustache asked her as she looked a little bit anxious.

Chandra nodded.

They were about to leave when someone knocked at the window of the horse carriage.

The Mustache opened the door after asking the horsemen to stop the carriage.

Kumara was standing in front of the door and he cringed as he handled some pains.

"What happened to you?" The Mustache got down from the carriage and helped Kumara to get in.

Kumara was positioned next to Chandra who stared at him.

"You look so weak, Princess!" Chandra hissed at him.

Kumara sneered at her statement. "Interesting view, isn't it?"

Chandra smiled at him and tapped his hand. "You're in the right place!"

The Mustache rubbed his chin and asked the horsemen to leave.

During the journey, Kumara kept his silence as he was contemplating something.

Chandra glanced at him and sniffed as her nose caught some familiar fragrance.

'Did he get involved with another tigress?' She questioned as the tigress odor smelled strongly from his body.

'Where is the snake odor going?' Chandra wiped her nose.

'It smells like a combination between a leopard and a panther! Did he….?' Chandra rubbed her forehead.

Kumara leaned his head on the seat and closed his eyes.

'Does she also have those traits? I know that she's a rebel but why does she make me want to conquer her?' Kumara whispered inside his mind.

'Is she still in love with King Dragon I knew from the rumors that they had spent their romance in years.' He inhaled and glanced at Chandra who was sitting next to her.

Chandra's eyes were directed through the glass window of the horse carriage but her thought was meandering to some old memories.

'I have been wandering some rough paths. Will this path be ended peacefully?' She took a deep breath.

'I have all left behind. All my old friends, my palace, anything! I used to share this with you, Tristan. Why now I start to become too melancholy in remembering our love?'

She cleared her throat. 'No. I don't want to remember such a thing!' She closed her eyes and leaned her front head to the glass window.

She wasn't aware that Kumara's eyes were observing her. Chandra tried to sleep and forget everything.

Her hands gripped a scarf that belonged to Tristan. Baron gave it to her before they left his chateau.

"He wanted me to give you this scarf, Princess Chandra! This scarf accompanied him on his last day. He didn't want to see you crying over his leaving as he wanted to leave you peacefully. He wanted you to remember everything about him without any tears. That's why he's gone on the same day your ship sailed to return to the Bhagavanta Kingdom!" Baron told her the story behind the scarf and a question that was haunting her, then it was already resolved, and got the answer.
