Allies and enemies

Gor was surprised by Thia's question "she seems quite interested in my curse" he thought.

After letting out a sigh, he decided to explain things to her. He told her he he had gotten his curse when he lost his twin, he told her they hand gone hunting leaving all the parts about the aktel, his father and any other thing that might lead her to his true identity. When he told her his story she was quite shocked. She thought she was one of a kind in the trauma society, she didn't know she had alot of neighbors, in that category too.

She remembered seeing her mother, Zinesh and her friends killed in front of her and it still hurt her in no way any other thing could.

After Gor was done she asked how long ago it was and Gor confirmed the period, at first she didn't realize but then she remembered it matched with her own experience, she just didn't realize it was the exact same date, time and moment.

"I'm sorry about your brother Thia said, I can tell he meant alot to you."

"He meant everything to me, but I'm going to be alright" Gor replied.

Thia was about to leave when she decided to say something to Gor.

"I don't know exactly what you're doing, but let me give you an advice, you should stop spying on us, it won't do you any good, I should have killed you when you were weak and even now, but since you saved our lives earlier, I'm going to repay you by sparing your life, but if I sense you spying on us again, I'm going to have to kill you for real". After Thia had said her peace she left. But as she was going she heard Gor say something under his breath.

"I'd really love to see you try"

It was clear that their relationship was anything but friendship. The familiarity they felt was nothing more than something in their head telling them they knew each other, but they both knew that was not the case.

After Thia had left, Gor decided to rest.

Few days Later the princess finally decided to head back to the capital. They had stayed at Miaan longer than expected and it was time to go back.

Since she would be taking some of the children with her, they had employed alot of wagons and carriages to help transport the children, they also employed one of the known and competent mercenary unit to help with additional guards. In the end the princess had brought a total of seventy nine children with her, some were toddlers that were either abandoned, or had parents that were dead or missing.

After one week they had finally gotten to the capital. The princess returned to the palace ans ordered Henry to help transport the children to the orphanage. They had prepared the necessary accommodations for the kids so they could settle down after the long trip.

"You know what?, this trip had made me realized how much I miss flying" Princess Lena said when she got into her private quarters in the Palace.

"Remind me to tell the engineers to develop something that can fly and at the same time transport a large number of people. Their royal carriages are just too small for this kind of mission and garandulars and a definate no".

"Yes your highness" Ija replied

"What's up with you? Ever since that day you've been mute, is anything wrong?" The princess asked.

"I'm alright Ija" replied

"Don't lie to me Ija, ever since you saw King Jai, you have been out of it."

"Tell me what's going on..."

"Well..." Ija said with a sad face. After which she began to explain.

Gor on the other hand had also made it back to the Kindel's mansion two days earlier than the princess. He had chosen not to follow the princesses entourage while coming back for two reasons. One his mission was already completed, he had confirmed if Thena and Thia were amongst those being brought to the capital. After he saw them among the other children, he knew they were the spies. Two, following them would further blow his cover, since Thia could sense him. It would be stupid to tail someone that could sense him coming from a mile away.

When he got back home, he headed to his dad's office and made the report to him, he told him everything that had happened in Miaan.

He had thought his father would be angry given all the chaos he caused and the possible crime he had even committed, but Bale said something that surprised him.

"You did well Gor, now you can rest, I'll deal with the rest" Bale said.

After Gor had left the office, Alex his personal guard came out from where he had been staying the whole time.

"Did you find out what I asked you to?" Bale asked

"Yes, the two girl spies were staying with two refugees called Nori and Naima, they also have a new born baby called Aliyah. The couple have been leaving in Dura for over a decade" Alex replied.

"Ok then, Bale replied, let's go".

"Where are we going?" Alex asked.

"To Wize, I'm going to pay an old friend a visit."

Wize, In the city of Bintan

Jamila was in her room scribbling over some paper. After a while she screamed scribbling forociously and tore the paper. She had been frustrated ever since her father had forbidden her from leaving the Mansion. Jamila loved going out and playing with her friends alot. She also enjoyed the attention people gave her as the beloved daughter of the Sulten of Bintan.

Her friends would often suck up to her and boys would line up to impress her. But ever since the war had started, her father had told her not to leave the Mansion since it was unsafe.

Bintan was the only side in Wize not to pick a side and alot of pressure had been mounted on Rashid to do so. He knew Both Jai and The Sulten of Hadia who tried to fight back against Jai would do anything to motivate him to choose, including kidnapping his daughter. They could try invading but given the location of Bintan and the fact that they would have to cross the desert separating Bintan from the rest of wize, they would rather save Bintan for after they had won.

This advantage was infact what had made Rashid not choose a side yet.

It was also what had made, his dealings in slavery go both unnoticed and unpunished, Rashid rarely left Bintan and he always made sure, whenever he left, he had a certain guarantee he would be able to return. Bintan was his fortress.

Jamila, who was Rashid's known weakness was now locked up in the Mansion where no one would dare attempt to take her. Though Bintan could not be attacked, assassins and kidnappers could still be sent.

"I really need to go out Jamila said as she stared at her scattered room, Hey you, can't you just help me sneak out?" Jamila asked her guard

"Nope, he said, but if you want I can help you invite your friends here".

" No I want to go out, I can't stand being in here again" she said to the boy in front of her.

"You know I can't do that Lady Jamila, your father would kill be and I value my life alot". The boy said

"But I'm bored, she said" as she looked at her personal guard.

"You can also come with me, are you not tired of staying here all day?" She asked.

"No my lady, it's my job" the boy replied.

"You are a killjoy you know that right?" Jamila said.

SheHe came close to the guard and brought her face closer to the his face.

"You look a bit familiar from here, but when I move back a bit you don't".

"Who exactly do I look like?" the boy asked.

"You look like Prince Kin"

Kin looked at her and thought"If only you knew" but he just laughed

"I look like a prince?" In what way? He asked

"Well I can't really say, but you do? The only differences are the hair color and the Prince is as fat as a pig."

"I thought you love pork" Kin said.

"Yes but not one as ugly and distasteful as Kin" Jamila said making Kin frown

Ashell on the other had was laughing her ass out in Her domain.
