The Master’s Third Wife Episode 43

By: Faith Lucky

Her lips went shut when she saw Xander coming out of the room.
Oh….

She took her bottom lips into her mouth immediately, suddenly running out of words. Where was he off to, huh? She needed him to be in the room to….make it easier for her. She was still trying to prepare herself.

Her eyes danced around him as he walked towards her direction, taking his usual gentle steps – gentleness that can be deceptive.

He had his sheath in his left arm and wore a black cloth which made Kaylan think he was going to the field to practice – as usual. Does he think of anything else aside war??

She continued staring glumly at him until he’d gotten to where she was. Xander was of course, surprised seeing her there, but being the kind of man he was, he wasn’t ready to ask any questions and just decide it was best to walk away.

Kaylan’s heart gave a mighty leap when she saw him walking away. Hold on; whaaat???

She turned around immediately, going after him.

“Hey!” She felt so stupid for calling him that, but the words had already escaped her lips before she’d realize as Xander stopped and turned to look at her.

Oh ..

“Um… Sorry, I mean… My Lord” she bowed, the flowers dangling in her hand.

Xander stared keenly at her without saying a word, and when Kaylan lifted her eyes to look at him, she felt some sparkles.
That was prolly the first time she was taking a really close and good look at him.
Hm. He had that dark – cold Xander-like expression, but his eyes sparkled with the dark shade around them. And with the black band around his head, it made him more ..

“Is there a problem, Princess Kaylan?” He asked icily, sounding serious and official like he always was.

Kaylan stuttered a little and cleared her throat.

“Um… My Lord” she began. “I wouldn’t really call it a problem but a problem solver”
She paused and proffered the flowers out to him.

“I um… I actually want to apologize to you for… what happened yesterday; the things I said. I never really meant them and hope you can forgive me”
She paused and looked at the flowers again.

“I made this for you and hope you can accept it. They’re beautiful”. She added.

Her heart was beating really fast. But seriously, why does she have to feel anxious? It wasn’t like he was a god or anything. Besides,, she was sure he wasn’t going to reject them. He wouldn’t dare.

For a moment, Xander was silent and just stared at the flowers with a blank expression. That was one thing people didn’t like about Lord Xander – you could never tell what he was thinking from his expression because he had a rare way of cloaking it.

Kaylan was beginning to have doubts as he hesitated in taking the flowers, but finally, he stretched out his hand and collected them.
Oops…! At last.

She didn’t know when she exhaled deeply, making Xander glance at her. It was more like a heavy burden had been taken off her shoulders.

Lord Xander stared at the flowers in his hand, his silence making Kaylan wish she could know what he was thinking at all. And the moment he took a step towards her, she found herself moving back.
Goodness! What was wrong with her?

“Thank you for the flowers” Xander suddenly said, his eyes fixed on them, and not on Kaylan.
“But the next time you mock me with my past…. I might kill you myself”.

He handed the flowers to one of the guards behind him, turned around and continued walking away.

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

Prince Berlin stood in front of the window with his brother standing beside him.
They both had a drink in their hands.
.
“So, the letter has been sent to Lord Xander already?” Prince Noah asked, giving his brother sometime to sip from his cup.

“Yes. He should receive it soon”. Berlin replied.
It was a letter of invitation – inviting him to the sword fight.

No matter what, he was sure Xander would never reject the invitation because it was only going to be a slap to his face. That man has got too much pride and wouldn’t want the world to know he chickened out of a fight. And that was going to be his first weapon against him. He really couldn’t wait to humiliate him in the presence of everyone.

“But Berlin,” Noah called. “What exactly are your plans? How do you intend defeating Xander on the battle field? It’s known in all records – Xander has never lost a battle before – never”

“He will -this time around” Berlin snapped in.
“You should know me, Noah; I’m not a fool. I knew the kind of man Xander was before asking for a fight from him. I’d wanted you to join me in it, but since you’re too scared, it’s fine. I’ll do it alone. But one thing’s for sure, Xander’s going down in my hands. I have my plans already – I’ll make him go on his knees right in front of me – just before I slash my sword through his neck. It’s a promise”.

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 42

Kaylan blinked rapidly as soon as Lord Xander walked away.
He didn’t see anything, did he?

She turned back to look at Asim.

“I really need to go now”.

“Of course. Goodnight”

And she scurried off.

Returning to her room, she thought about Xander. Why was he having such a cold look on when he saw them?

And recalling the look on his face, it made her suddenly have some double thoughts about giving the flowers to him. No; no matter what, she really needed to give the flowers to him.

She got to the room and found Jaden with the ash – just like she’d asked for.

“What took you so long huh? Jaden asked.
“Anyway, I hope this should be enough?”

“Yes. Thank you” Kaylan collected the ash from her and walked over to the table to set to work.
And as she did, Jaden noticed the slight change in her mood.

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

King Moreh was sitting comfortably in his room, re-reading the letter sent by Xander. He wouldn’t deny being amused as he wondered what could’ve possibly changed Xander’s mind. Why did he suddenly withdraw his threats and stated in the letter that he was no longer forcing him to sign the petition? Why?

Lord Xander has always been a man of his words – too cruel and changeless and that was the reason King Moreh couldn’t understand why he’d changed this mind all of a sudden.

Well, it was a good thing he finally changed his mind because he wasn’t ready to sign the petition. He didn’t sign it then, and wasn’t ready to sign it at anytime at all.

There was a knock on his door and giving the go ahead, the door opened immediately with the Queen rushing in – Kaylan’s mother.
Oh…

“Your Highness” she bowed with some intensity in her tone.
“Sorry if I’m disturbing your quiet time”

“It’s okay, Hapitha. You can have a seat” the King replied, but Hapitha wasn’t there to to sit.

“Your Highness, my mind can’t be at rest. I’ve heard the news about Lord Xander threatening you with Kaylan’s life and it’s really of great concern to me”.

“Xander has taken back his words” King Moreh cut in calmly.
“He’s withdrawn his threats and made it clear he’s no longer using coercion”.

“I know, but ..” she paused and scoffed.
“That isn’t enough reason to let it go, your Highness. We need to get Kaylan out of there. What if he decides to do this again?”

“He won’t, Hapitha?”

“He won’t? But how can you be so sure? Nobody was expecting this when it happened…”

“This shouldn’t be your concern, Hapitha. Kaylan is fine and I don’t think you should worry about it anymore. She’s better off being married to Xander”. The King said and a glint of anger flashed through Hapitha’s eyes.

“She’s better off being married to someone who can kill her at anytime?” She asked.
“Maybe you’re not even concerned about this because no matter the amount of threat Xander imposes on Kaylan’s life, you’re never going to care or bend in to Xander’s will because you DON’T care about her”.

King Moreh’s eyes dimmed. How dare she raise her voice on the King?

“Of course, how would you care about her when she’s just one out of your many other children, dancing around you? How can I even expect you to care about her?!”

Queen Hapitha could be fearless at some point, and that was where Kaylan had gotten her rascality from.

Tearfully, she turned around and ran out of the room.

**********************
NEXT MORNING
**********************

Kaylan had woken up with a big target in mind – and that was tendering her apology to Lord Xander.

A part of her was telling her not to care about his feelings and just ignore him, but another part kept speaking to her conscience and telling her what she did was wrong and needed an apology.

So, she decided to heed to the second part.

She’d already arranged the flowers the previous night and had them ready for delivery. They were looking so lovely.

“Do you think I should come with you?” Jaden asked from behind as Kaylan stood, admiring the flowers.

“He’s my husband, not OUR husband” Kaylan pointed out, making Jaden laugh.
“I just hope he doesn’t try to act grumpy because I’m definitely going to lose it and smash the entire flowers in his face. I’m trying so hard to be good here”.

“You had better be careful, Kaylan. Don’t do anything to upset him”. Jaden sqid

“Wherever. Wish me luck” Kaylan rolled her eyes and left the room.

She held the flowers carefully as she marched towards Lord Xander’s chambers. And as she did, she kept reciting her apology statement in her mind:

“Oh, Mighty Lord Xander, I’m using this lovely flowers to apologize for what I said yesterday…”

No. That didn’t sound too well to her.

“My dear husband, I want to…”

No! Not husband. He doesn’t even act like a husband.

“You, grumpy man, I hope you can accept these flowers and…”

No; that sounded too rude.
Urgh! What exactly does she say, huh?

Maybe…

“Lord Xander, these flowers are meant to appease you for….”

She suddenly stopped talking when she noticed she’d arrived at Xander’s chambers.
Oops!

It was now or never, Kaylan.

But as usual, there were two guards at the door post and she knew she needed to seek entrance from them.

“Good morning, Princess” they greeted with a bow.

“Oh. Morning to you too. I’m here to…”
Her lips went shut when she saw Xander coming out of the room.

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 41

By: Faith Lucky

The two ladies were in deep shock as soon as the guard delivered the message and left.

Whaaat?? Her restriction has been lifted already?? So soon? What happened??

Kaylan turned to look at Jaden who was already staring at her.

“Hey; what do you think happened? Do you think your father has given into his demands?” Jaden asked curiously.

“Of course, not” Kaylan answered sharply.
“I know my father, Jaden. That man doesn’t care about me one bit. He’s never going to make even the tiniest sacrifice for me. Never”. She huffed and stood up to go face the window.

“So….do you think Xander had a change of heard on his own?” Jaden asked as she stood up as well and went closer to her.
“Do you think…. your words somehow… made him have a change of heart?”

“I don’t know. Is that even possible? Does someone like Xander still have a heart that can be changed?” Kaylan asked, crossing her hands below her chest.

Although, somehow, a voice wouldn’t stop whispering into her ears that her words were really behind it.

She turned from the window to look at Jaden.

“Do you think I should… apologize to him?” She asked, her brows creased.

“What?? Why?” Jaden’s eyes snapped open.

“I don’t know. Maybe to….. apologize to him for what I said. I just have a feeling my words hurt him so much”.

“Well… Apologizing to him is a good idea. But how on earth do you plan on apologizing to someone like Xander?? Do you really have the nerves?” Jaden asked and Kaylan turned around to face the window again.

How can she possibly apologize to him?
Hm. Maybe she had an idea already.

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

HOURS LATER
*
*
It was so dark already, with the stars dancing in the sky, all around the moon and giving a beatific touch to the atmosphere.

While Jaden was away, Kaylan could be seen in the garden, picking out some colorful flowers and placing them in a bowl on the floor beside her.

She had great plans for the flowers and was hoping it was really going to go down well.

As she picked and placed them in a bowl, so many thoughts flashed through her mind. Like, what would’ve happened if her father didn’t fulfil Xander’s demands and she was still being used as a bait? Would he have killed her or something? But how could someone be so cruel to the extent of using his own wife as a bait without her knowledge?

When she’d heard stories of him being cold hearted and the rest, she never thought it’d be up to that extent. But now she understood. And thinking of it, wouldn’t it be dangerous to continue staying here with him?

“What’re you doing out here so late?” She suddenly heard a male voice from behind and quickly turned to see Asim – Madame Hapitha’s son. Oh.

She feigned a smile as she looked at him.

“Hi. Good evening” she said.

“Good evening, Princess. Shouldn’t you be in your room? Why are you out here alone?” Asim asked, wearing a genuine concern on his face.

“Well, I um… I just need some flowers – as you can see” Kaylan shrugged and Asim dropped to a crouch beside her.

“And .. what does Princess Kaylan need flowers for, huh?” Asim asked teasingly.
“Are you trying to woo your husband or something?”
He had a cute smile – Kaylan suddenly thought.

Kaylan chuckled. She wanted to counter him, but since the flowers were really for Xander, she couldn’t.
But thinking about it, how exactly is she going to give the flowers to him? Would he accept it? Or act grumpy as always?

“So, the flowers are really for Xander, huh?” Asim asked, coming to a conclusion when she didn’t say anything to defend herself.

“Well, yes. Maybe” Kaylan shrugged.

She picked out another flower and dropped it in the bowl. She was looking out for the best.

“Those colors are too bright you know” Asim suddenly said, breaking into her thoughts.
“For someone like Xander, you should go with dark colors like this….”

He picked out a particular flower and held it out to her.
Hm.

“I see. Thank you” she smiled as she collected the flower from him and dropped it in the bowl.

She picked out another, and Asim helped her again. And so it went until she figured she’d had enough.

“I heard about what happened..” Asim said as they stood up together.
“About Lord Xander trying to use you as a bait. Sorry about that’.

“Yes, it’s fine” Kaylan sighed lightly.
“Everything’s fine now”.

Asim looked into the bowl and moved his hands around for a flower.

“I’m still wondering what exactly you plan on doing with these flowers, tho”
He picked out a bright colored flower the bow.
“But I think this would look really good on you”. He added and fixed the flower in her hair – just at the tip.

Kaylan blinked rapidly and let out a light smile.

“Thank you. I’ll take my leave now” she smiled and turned around to leave. And to her surprise, she found Xander standing and staring at them from a distance with some of his guards behind him.

Hold on…

She quickly turned to look at Asim who’d also seen Xander. Was Xander really watching them the whole time??

The flowers! The hell! He wasn’t thinking something else, was he?

She turned and continued staring blankly at him, his eyes completely dark and expressionless.

Cold memories flipped through her mind immediately. And quietly, he turned around and continued walking away with his guards
