SCARLET’S POV I have been in the garden all day thinking about what the day holds. I have not seen my Chamlee today, I refuse to see him until the witch arrives. I will like to take the good news to him. Make him know that he will be alive to raise our children with me. So many thoughts clustered in my head. Thoughts of pains, sorrows, love, torments, triumph, power, revenge, but nothing on forgiveness. I will forgive no one. For all the pains that I have been made to bear, the perpetrators will have to repay a thousand folds, they will repay with their lives, each of them. For all the pains that they made my Chamlee go through, the three brothers Packs would pay dearly for it. When I take over the three brothers Packs, I will rule with an iron fist, crunching them one by one and making my people stronger. The werewolves will be nothing but slaves to us. This is a promise and I am not prepared to renege on it. “My Chamlar, you are here” I heard lord Nathan says as he walked into the garden. I did not need to look back, I already know that he is the one. Pixolands has been like his second home since after the war. He is always here to look after the Chamlee and me. “Lord Nathan” I replied quietly. “Please don’t be all moody, my lady,” he appealed as he came to sit beside me. “I am fine, lord Nathan” I replied. “Of course, you would be. I may not be in support of your approach, but I know that it will definitely give you your desired result so I stand fully with you on this” he said. I smiled weakly. “Even I am not in support of my approach, lord Nathan. But tell me. What else can I do? My Chamlee has to live” I replied. He sighed and held my hands. “Chamlee has an even greater need to live. The new child deserves the love and support of both parents, and of course, that of me too. He will also be my child” “Thank you for understanding, lord Nathan. I do not look down on you, not in the least. But Chamlee, he needs to live, I will die without him” I replied. “And he must live. Nothing will take him away. He is a very strong man and he is even stronger for death. When the witch comes, the Chamlee will be well” he assured me.I felt lifted by his kind words. Lord Nathan, he is a man with such great selflessness. Even as a rogue, he is very kind and extremely considerate towards the needs of others. I am so fortunate to have someone like him by my side. “I hope you do not feel neglected, lord Nathan?” I asked. “Not in the least, my lady, on the contrary, I feel fortunate to have someone like you by my side. Even though you can still get any man you want, you still value the Chamlee and have never neglected him even for once. You are even prepared to go against your rule to save him. What man would not be blessed to have a woman like you?” he replied with an honest smile. “Thank you, lord Nathan. You see, the Chamlee is an even better man. He accepted me even when I was nothing compared to him. He never for once tried to feed on my weaknesses. He supported me even when it appeared as if there was no reason to. It is only for his selflessness that I am what I am today” I explained. “I have heard so much of the Chamlee, my queen, and I must say that all I heard are not wrong. Now we must do all we can to save him” he replied. I looked around me. The flowers and the birds chirping, and even the butterflies flying. They all have no worries in this world, nature has taken care of it all for them. I wish my life would be as free as this, I wish I was left with no worries. Just me, and the Chamlee, and our kids. And then there is lord Nathan. What do I do with lord Nathan. “Lord Nathan” I called. “Yes, my lady” he responded. “I just want to say that, about us... our marriage...” I stopped. I was not sure of how to go about it. “I understand, my lady, there is no explanation needed” he replied with a smile. “I am a very jealous lady, lord Nathan, and I am averse to rivalry. I hope you understand that?” I said. “Of course, I understand, my lady, and I will do nothing of such. I am your loyal servant” he replied with a slight bow. “It is Chamlee that I truly love, and in order to strengthen my hold, I made you mine. It might sound selfish but I do not joke with what is mine” I said. “My Chamlar, I will do nothing to jeopardize your desire” he replied. “You are a good man, lord Nathan, and I promise you that once everything is settled with my Chamlee I will prepare a chamber for you in the palace and formally make you mine forever” I assured. “I am looking forwards to that, my lady” he replied happily. Just then, Lara arrived and I looked at her. “My Chamlar...” she called. “What is it, Lara?” I asked. “The lady... sorry, the witch... she has arrived... she is here” Lara replied uneasily. “Really” I exclaimed. “I will be right with you,” I said and she walked away. “This is great, my lady, we have to go now,” lord Nathan requested. I looked at him with a little sadness and asked. “Do you think she will want to take advantage of me?” “She might want to, my lady, but if she tries that, she will not leave here alive” he replied. “But I already made preparations against that” I confided. “You did...?” he exclaimed. “Yes. She cannot make any hidden demands. I made her promise before she came. She can only receive exactly what she asks for once the job is done. And even if she does not succeed, we already agreed on her payment. She cannot use any trick on us, I made no room for that” I explained. Lord Nathan was stunned and it took him a moment to respond. “You are smart, my lady, and should she attempt to pull a fast one on us, her head would be detached” “All I want is to see my Chamlee well and not to put my people in trouble” I murmured. “You don’t need to worry, my lady, you’ve got me by your side. I will be with you through it all” he promised. “Let’s leave already, thank you so much, lord Nathan,” I said. He smiled, stood up, took my hands, and led me away.
