The Master’s Third Wife Episode 54

By: Faith Lucky

Kaylan and Jaden got dressed afterwards, both trying to look as simple as possible. No matter what, Kaylan was determined to go watch the match. She wouldn’t let anyone stop her for any reason.

“But, what if Lord Xander eventually gets to know we violated his orders by showing up at the fight?” Jaden asked as she helped Kaylan brush her hair in front of the mirror.

“Oh! Stop thinking negatively, Jaden. He’s never going to find out, Okay? And even if he does, I’ll make sure you don’t get punished. Alright?”

“Fine” Jaden rolled her eyes.
“But…do you realize we haven’t even had breakfast?”

“There’s no time, Jaden. Don’t worry, we’ll find something to eat on our way; bills on me”.

“Mm. If you say so”.

Jaden finished brushing the hair and was about packing it when she noticed Kaylan’s hairpin was missing.

“Where’s your hair pin?” She asked, rechecking the hair to be sure she wasn’t missing it.

“And why are you asking me? It’s always in my hair” Kaylan answered grumpily as she brushed her fingers into the hair. But surprisingly, the hair pin wasn’t there.
Hold on; where could it be?

“Urgh! Don’t tell me you’ve misplaced it, Kaylan. That was the prettiest hairpin you had” Jaden grouse as she left her hair and started looking around on the floor to see if she could’ve misplaced it.
But, it was nowhere in the room.

“Maybe… it’s in Xander’s room” Kaylan suddenly said, recalling the fact that she’s spent over half of the day in Xander’s room the previous day.

“Oh! That could be true. Gut,why do you think it’s there? Did your itch your hair or something?” Jaden asked.

“Of course. When the whole locking up was driving me insane, I can remember itching my hair so many times. So, it’s possible it might’ve fallen off or something”. Kaylan said.

“Oh. But, you know Xander’s left for the fight already. So,we can’t go to his room…”

“Of course, we can”. Kaylan cut her off and stood up, heading to the door.

“Kaylan…! What do you think you’re doing?” Jaden grumbled and ran after her.
*
“We could just make airbof another hair pin. I think I have a very pretty one in my bag” Jaden said as she followed Kaylan to Xander’s chambers.

“I don’t want any other, Jaden. You already made me fall in love with the hair pin” Kaylan answered in a brisk.
Jaden tried convincing her because she didn’t want her to get into trouble, but being the kind of person she was, Kaylan wouldn’t listen.

They finally arrived at Xander’s chambers and met two guards there.

“Greetings, Princess” the guards greeted with a bow.

“Oh! Greetings to you two. Um.,.. actually, I need to go in there and search for something really important. I need to make use of it right now”. Kaylan said and for a few seconds, the guards hesitated.

“Sorry, Princess. But Lord Xander is not in. You can’t go in now” the guard replied, earning a hard glare from Kaylan.

“I’m not stealing, Okay? You can come in and supervise me if you so wish. I just want to take my hair pin which must’ve fallen off my hair while I was here, yesterday. Besides, isn’t this meant to be My Husband’s room? I’d suggest you get out of my way before your excessive seriousness gets you into trouble”. She rasped.
She spoke so fast, the guards were amazed.

Glancing at each other, they finally came to an agreement and pushed the door open for her.

“Good job” she smiled and walked in with Jaden who was looking like a wet tortoise.

“God! Kaylan; did you really have to be so rude all the time? I know I’m always stubborn and all, but yours is just excess” Jaden grouse, but Kaylan said nothing to her as she started checking the floors carefully.
Oh! What if they’ve swept it away? It better not be.

“Looks like Lord Xander left some tea” She heard Jaden say from behind, but didn’t even look at her as she kept her eyes focused on the floor.

“I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to drink it when he returns…..Hm. Tastes so nice”.

Kaylan’s eyes were still glued to the floor and finally, she spotted it beneath the bed.

“Found it!” She beamed as she knelt close to it, stretched her hand and pulled it out.

“Oh! You finally got it? Lucky you” Jaden said,.

“Yeah, good for me, indeed…” Kaylan turned around to show her the pin in excitement, but to her surprise, found Jaden, holding a cup of tea.

“What?? Don’t tell me you’ve been drinking that! Is it yours??” Kaylan tweaked her ear.

“Ouch! Let me go, Kaylan. I didn’t drink all of it’ Jaden grouse and quickly dropped the cup down on the table.

“You’re so unserious. Let’s go” Kaylan huffed and left the room, while Jaden followed.

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 53

By: Faith Lucky

Hilda walked in with Lord Xander’s meal in a tray, her head bowed and her systems trying so hard to hide her anxiety.

Her hands were nearly shaking.

“G….. Good morning, My Lord” she greeted with a bow.
But Xander didn’t turn to look at her as he just fixed his gaze into space.

“I’m not eating, Hilda” he suddenly said, making her heart skip two beats.
What????

“M…My Lord, I don’t understand’ she stuttered and gulped hard.
“I thought you were going for a fight? You need to have some….”

“Just make me some tea, Hilda” he cut her off, calmly tho.
“Some tea and I’ll be fine”.

Hilda exhaled deeply.
“As you wish, My Lord” she bowed and left the room with the tray.
*
*
Kaylan sat quietly on the bed, her hand on her jaw, looking like one in deep thoughts.

Jaden entered not long after with some cake for breakfast.

“Here’. I’m so sure you’ll love these”. She beamed as she placed the cakes on a small table in front of Kaylan.

But Kaylan didn’t even act like she’d seen a thing in front of her.

“Hey; you okay?” Jaden nudged get, but she didn’t give a reply.

“Oh, seriously? Don’t tell me you’re still getting worried about this, Kaylan?” She rolled her eyes.

“Well, what do you expect me to do, Jaden? I just told you; I’m having a bad feeling….”

“Bad feeling about what?” Jaden cut her off, taking the space next to her on the bed.
“About the fight?”

Kaylan nodded.

“Oh, Kaylan! You’re so unbelievable. Prince Berlin is an unfortunate man who’s out for revenge and is definitely going to get it the wrong way. I understand he’s hurt, but challenging Lord Xander to a fight is stupidity. We all know Xander has never lost in a fight. So, clearly, Prince Berlin is only looking for his death” Jaden enthused, and Kaylan took in a deep breath like she’d been convinced.

A few seconds passed, then she asked:
“Can we attend the fight?”

“What?? Are you crazy? Lord Xander doesn’t want you to go. Or, have your forgotten his orders just yesterday?” Jaden flinched.

“Of course, I can’t forget. But…. he won’t know I’ll be there. Besides, he’ll be so busy fighting, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have time to look at his guests” Kaylan rolled her eyes.

“Don’t be so stubborn, Kaylan. I believe Lord Xander had a good reason for sending his chief guard to warn you not to try attending the fight. It was more like he knows you so well and was aware you’re gonna try to do something like this…….”

“Oh! Come on, Jaden. Where’s my best friend that’s ready to break every rule with me? Ready to swim across the ocean with me? Ready to take risks and for my sake?”
She turned and winked at her and Jaden let out a chuckle.

“You know you’re crazy, right?”

“Yessss!! As long as I’m crazy with you!” Kaylan laughed and hugged her.

***********************

Prince Berlin could be seen in the room with his sword, sharpening it and fully armoured.

He looked more serious than before, like he’s never been so serious in his entire life.

The door opened shortly with his mother coming in. She was adorned in a long blue gown, but looked really anxious as she walked towards him.

“Mother” Prince Berlin called, but she didn’t say a word until she’d gotten closer enough to hug him.

“Son’ she whispered calmly, stroking his hair.
They maintained that contact for sometime before pulling away.

“Berlin, are you sure about this?” The Queen cooed, touching his cheek.
“You can still back out of this fight, you know? I feel so scared. You know you’re the crowned prince of the Kingdom of Melik”.

“Fear is for the hopeless, mother” Berlin said in an indefatigable voice.
“You have nothing to worry about; I’ll be fine and back with Xander’s head”.

The Queen sighed pathetically and brought out a necklace from her dress.

“Here. Have this on” she put it round his neck for him.

“It’s for luck. My mother gave it to me and it’s helped me out a lot”.

She hugged him again.
“I wish you safe return, Son”.

“Thank you, mother” Berlin replied.

**************************

Hilda returned to the room with the tea and bowed as she handed it to Lord Xander. Her heart was still beating rapidly. She didn’t want to do this; didn’t want to put him in any form of danger; but she had no choice.

Xander sighed and took a sip from the cup, and that was the moment Hilda knew there would be no going back. It’s done!
Oh, no. Will she ever be able to forgive herself?

“Is there problem, Hilda?” Lord Xander suddenly asked, wondering why she was still there.

“N… No, My Lord. I’ll take my leave now” she swallowed hard and left the room.

Lord Xander remained there with the tea in his hands, still taking some gulps.
He still couldn’t tell why he was feeling so cold about the fight.

Shortly, the door opened with Axel coming in and even before he spit out the words, Xander already knew why he was there.

“Greetings, My Lord’ he bowed.
“The carriage is ready”.

But Xander said nothing.

Axel was a little confused. He knows Lord Xander to always be the cold type, but that morning, the coldness was kind of different.

“My Lord?” He called. “Is there a problem?”

Xander said nothing immediately as he took in a deep breath and gulped more from the cup.

“It’s just pathetic, Axel” he finally said, dropping the tea cup on the table.
“It’s just pathetic that the Kingdom of Melik has lost two daughters. And now, they’re about to lose a son”.
He picked his sword sheath from the table and walked out of the room.

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 52

By: Faith Lucky

Xander returned to the room with the scroll in his hand and met Kaylan pacing tho and fro.

She’d been so restless and was walking about in the room when she noticed him walk in and she became still immediately. Was he there to release her?

Xander could notice how tensed she was but decided not to pay attention it. He walked past her to his closet, dropped the scroll and took out his belt.

Kaylan watched keenly, hoping he says something. But it was obvious he didn’t have such plans as he took what he wanted and started walking towards the door.

“My…. My Lord”: she called as she took a step closer and Xander stopped walking to look at her.
For a few seconds, she was out of words as those pretty eyes stared at hers.

“Can I….Am I free to go now?” She asked with a hard gulp.

Xander stared at her for a while before giving out a reply.
“I never said so” he muttered and walked away.

For real???

Kaylan covered her face with her palms as she could clearly feel frustration building up in her. What has she done to deserve this? Why would she be kept a prisoner when she was done nothing wrong?? Absolutely nothing?

She angrily walked to the window and rested get head. The Kaylan of old would’ve found a tricky way to leave the room by now; but recalling all she’d been through in the hands of Xander, it restricted her. Heck; she didn’t want to get on his bad side again and stand another chance of being whipped. But what could she possibly do to get out of here?? this was lockup!
*
*
“Please, you have to let me in” Jaden grouse as she stood in front of the guards.”I’ve been pleading here for a very long time now. What else should I do? I only want to see the Princess and be sure she’s safe”

“The princess is fine. You can’t go into the Master’s room without being called upon. So, leave before you get yourself into trouble”. The first guard warned sternly.

“Fine; I’ll leave. But can I just see her face, at least? Or if you wouldn’t let me in, call her out….”

“We have orders not to let her out of the room” he snapped in and Jaden bit her nail.
God! She was so worried about Kaylan. Why would Lord Xander restrict her from leaving the room?

“Okay, fine. But, can I just…”.

“Leave..! Now!!” The second one yelled, making Jaden flinch a bit.
Oops!

“You don’t have to be so hard on yourself; I’ll leave. But trust me if anything happens to her, you’ll have me to deal with”. She pointed her index finger at them.
The guards stared at her in surprise, wondering where she’d be getting the power from to challenge them.

But Jaden didn’t care as she just turned around and walked away.

**********************
HOURS LATER
***********************

Kaylan was sitting on the bed, her hands on her cheeks. She felt so lonely and bored and needed someone to talk to. But what could she do when she was locked up in the So called Master’s room?

Now, she’s learnt a lesson – a lesson never to implicate herself no matter the condition. If only she could get Xander to change his mind….

Shortly, the door opened and she lifted her head to see him walking in.

She sprang on her feet immediately, her heart giving a leap. He had tiny sweats on his forehead which indicated he’d been training at the field.

Kaylan lowered her gaze to the floor, seriously hoping he’d say something positive. Her heart was filed with suspense as Xander walked over to his closet to return his belt. He took off his head band and threw it right in as well.

“You can leave” he suddenly said, snapping Kaylan’s eyes open as she lifted her head quickly to look at him.
What??? Did she just…. did she just hear him correctly??? She can leave??

For real????

Her eyes were beaming.

“My… My Lord….”

“But next time, when you know you’ not ready to do something, you don’t bring it up”. He stated calmly and walked away, headed for the bathroom.

“Oh, goodness!” Kaylan covered her face with her palms.
She was free at last; after being so scared.

Without hesitation, she hurried towards the door and left the room.

*********************
Next Morning
*********************

It was all heated up – the sword fight between Lord Xander and Prince Berlin.
In less than two hours, it was to commence.

Lord Xander stood in front of the window with the sword in his hand, just staring at it.

He felt cold; couldn’t tell why. He just felt cold.

His gaze didn’t leave his sword. Until shortly, Hilda walked in with his meal…
