Chapter 9 - Ashes of grace-flames of vengeance

Five years later

A battle field, full of blood and on the heart of it-Ariana. Her armour-full of blood-her hands not trembling now as it was before by the death of soldier but it is like she is the death to others. She stepped forward slashing every soldiers who came on her way. Something was different on her or the whole she-she looks very different-emotionless, full of avenge, guilty, hateful, anxious, helpless, hurt and lonely- everything just in a time as if the reason of her life is stolen. Not only enemies but her own soldiers feared her on the battle field and now she finally finished every enemy soldiers from the battle field as if she was waiting for it from a long ago.

Then she pause and fall on her knee-looking on the- " Father, are you happy now. Look, i am taking your's and mother's death revenge. And i promise, i will never loss" she said to herself.

After a month, she finally went on the royal palace and maids welcomed her but more than that-they feared her.

"Ariana! finally you have came. I jeard you win". Arnold said, soft and calm but she remain composed and cold as ice.

" Yeah and what about east" she asked.

"I just came today from east. Everything is going smoothly and Allen is working on it" He replied.

"Where are the kids?" she asked without looking at him.

"Ana, Aria and Mary are practising swordsmanship, Rowan and Aiden went in Minoan's palace for some work."

"I want to see-what they learn on those 5years" Ariana said-still cold.

On the training ground.

"Hey! Do a battle with me. I wamt to see how strong you all are now"

Everyone turns towards her and suddenly Aria's fall on the ground and she say " Are you ok sister? It's been 5 years."

" Don't talk. If you talk on the battles, you surely never win" Ariana said taking a wooden sword on her hand.

She lunged, strick on strick, and Aria was just dodge it because she could getting the chance to Attack and Ariana was so fast to counter the attack. After some time Aria gets tired and it also happened with Ana and Mary.

"Come on, stand up. If you do like this-how can you win even a small battle. From now on, you will practise harder and harder every day" she said coldly.

"For now, go and rest" she said.

" Hey! Why not me?" Arnold approached throwing a real sword towards her.

"As you wish"

They both charged, falling heavily on each other. Their sword clashed and they both went back. There was a shine in Arnold eyes but Ariana's eyes- emotionless. Then when she lunged to do another attack- he suddenly throw away his sword and hugged her tightly as if now he don't want her to go anywhere.

"Please… don't be silent-say something. Please scold me, fight with me, hit me or just…just cry but don't be silent" He said softly, embracing her into him. Then she start sobbed hardly.

" What…what i do? What i do?"

"Just cry, don't stop yourself. Share with me. Crying isn't make you weak but it's the biggest strength of life" he said hugging her more tightly.

In the evening. Ariana was sleeping in her room when Arnold come to her.

He sit next to her bed on a chair.

"Father, Mother, don't go! Don't left me alone. Please take me with you" she said on her dream, out loud.

"What it means? What he want now?" Ariana said.

"I don't know" King Maynard replied.

"So you two go now?" she asked.

" Yeah, it's a good chance to live together by removing enemity" king replied.

"If it's your last wish then i will not bother you but take care" She said.

" Me and your mother is going but kids stay here because it's not safe. We don't know what is he thinking but promise me you two will take care of each other and those kids" king said handing her a scroll.

"What is it?" she asked unfolding the scroll.

She stumbled " Father! You want to unite the two kingdoms" she said out loud.

" Yes, i am old now. I want you to fulfil your responsibilities now" he said.

" But you are still young enough to rule then why?" she asked-her face tensed.

"You are right but it's time for you to do it and i don't think i can come alive" he replied.

" Then i also gowith you".

" No, you are the future of this kingdom Ariana, sign and become the empress".

" But… ok" she said with broken voice.

" Arnold, take care of her"

" Don't worry father, i will do and also take care of yourself".

After a month, the dead bodies of King and Qeen send on Minoan kingdom. Ariana stumbled, her voice cracked. She cried beside her mother. Then she vowed to kill everyone who did this.
