💯THE MASTER’S THIRD WIFE 🎀
(Heart of ice…)

By: Faith Lucky

Sitting in the moving carriage, Kaylan couldn’t stop thinking. And as they got closer to the Xander community, and felt she was getting closer to her Nightmare.

Good Lord! All the bravery she’d been feeling a while ago was beginning to dwindle, did down…How did she even think she’d be able to survive this guy in the first place? This strange cruel Master like she’s heard?

What would happen at night?
Oh God! She didn’t even want to think about it. What if he asks for…s*x?

Hell no! She’d definitely turn him down. There’s no way she was getting intimate with him, not now, never!

As soon as she gets there, she’d carry out her plans of making him angry so he’d divorce her. Yes – exactly!
When she’s made him angry enough and given him enough trouble, she was sure he’d send her parking home..

Hmph.

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

The carriage was fast approaching the big gates of the community and as they did, Kaylan felt more nervous.

Oh…! Come on, Kaylan, you can do it… she tried reassuring herself but couldn’t. Why was she feeling so scared with each progress they made towards the community?

Finally, she could hardly take it again. She could hardly take it and just wanted to run off, run away.

“Stop the carriage! Stop moving!” She yelled at the rider and in a few seconds, the horses were forced to stop moving.

The curtains were opened immediately, revealing a guard.

“Princess Kaylan” he called. “Is there a problem?”.

“Um… I just…I need to free myself. I’m very pressed” she answered as she itched the back of her neck.

The guard hesitated a little.
“But there’s a hardly a toilet here. You can…”

“Oh! Don’t worry, I can wee in the bush- behind those trees. You won’t see a thing , I promise” she feigned a smile and the guard gave her the go ahead.

She stepped out of the carriage carefully so she doesn’t step on her extremely long dress and trip.

She looked around, liking the fact that there were so many bushes there. She could easily run away in the process.

“Excuse me” she smiled to the guard and walked towards the bush.

She walked slowly, turning to look at them at intervals and to make sure they weren’t watching. Well, of course they shouldn’t be watching. How can they watch a lady who’s trying to ease herself? That could be seen as a punishable offence.

She walked into the bush, stood behind one of the trees and acted like she wanted to pull down her dress. But when she looked again and discovered the guards weren’t watching, she started running away.

“The princess! She’s getting away!” One of the horse riders yelled when he noticed and immediately, the two guards set out after her.

“Princess Kaylan! Princess Kaylan!” They called.

Kaylan ran as fast as she could do, but due to the heavy clothes she had on, she couldn’t be as fast as she used to and the guards unfortunately caught up with her .

“No! Let me go!” She yelled and tried struggling with the strong hands that held her waist, but it was impossible getting free from them.

“Princess Kaylan! What’re you doing? Are you really trying to escape? Is that what you want?” The guard scolded and Kaylan became angrily calm, pouting her lips.

“Please, I wouldn’t want to get into trouble because of this. We have to return to the carriage – now” he further said and Kaylan perfunctorily followed him back to the ride.

She got in and no time, the carriage was moving again.
Damn it! Her plan failed! Why didn’t she run faster, huh?

Or perhaps, she’d have gone deeper into the bush before attempting to run away.

Oh Kaylan! You’re so doomed!

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

They didn’t make another stop until they had gotten to the Master’s mansion – a place which looked like a Palace to Kaylan.

The curtains were opened for her and she stepped out gracefully with her eyes going around.
Wow! The mansion was so big and resembled that of a palace. Was there any difference?

“Please Princess Kaylan, come with me” the guard said and led the way, while Kaylan followed.

She kept looking around, admiring the beauty of the place.

She’s spotted some men training in the field – training with swords. Hmph. She’s always been so scared of sword fights.

She continued looking around, finding the whole view amusing and finally, they entered a hallway that looked different – more beautiful.

“Hold on; where are we going?” She hastened her steps towards the guard and asked and he replied:

“To the Master’s chambers”

“Hah!” She gasped.
They’re going to his Chambers so soon?

“But…But why?” She asked, even if it sounded stupid.

The guard looked at her and chuckled.

“You need to carry out the marriage rites this morning” he answered simply and looked ahead.

They’d come across some maids who stopped and bowed for Kaylan as she walked by.
Well, it was nothing new to her as she’d been experiencing it bsdk there at the palace as well.

Kaylan kept thinking about her soon to be husband. What does he even look like? Funny enough, she’s never seen the face of the man she’s getting married to.
More craps! She’s definitely going to end this marriage in a short time from now. Just give her some days.
*
They got to the chambers but the guards at the door told them Xander wasn’t in at the moment.
Thank goodness! Kaylan thought happily.

“You’ll need to go in and wait for him, then” the guard said. “He’ll be back soon”.

Kaylan nodded and walked into the room, feeling relieved her meeting with the Master would have to be post poned, even if it had to be for a few minutes.

She got into the room and took a long, deep breath, loving the fragrance that welcomed her.
Hmmm.

Why was his room so beautiful, huh? She’d actually been thinking it’d be as ugly as they say he was.

She nodded as she looked around, wearing a look of possession.

She walked to the big bed and sat on it, but God! It was so hard!!

“How does he enjoy sleeping on soemthing like this, huh!” She mumbled as she pressed her ass on the bed and stood up.

She threw her legs happily and walked deeper into the room. The room was so big and looked manly enough. .urgh! Where was he anyway?

She spotted soemthing beautiful on the table and hurried towards it, lifting it up.

It was a cup, made of glass and had Xander’s name on it.
Wow! Must be quite expensive – she thought.

She turned it around in her hand, admiring it’s quality and design and suddenly, she heard a deep scary voice was behind:

“Don’t touch what’s mine”.

The voice was so deep, it made Kaylan flinch and as she turned to have a look, the glass accidentally left her hand and crashed on the floor.

Jaden stood at the entrance of the hallway, still trying to convince the guards.

“Please…” She begged. “You have to let me in. Come on; I won’t take long”.

“You’re just wasting your time, Jaden. No matter what you do, we aren’t letting you in. The King has given specific orders not to let anyone – especially you – into the princess’ Chambers” one of the guards replied bluntly and Jaden gasped.
Whaat?? The King had given such order??

She fiddled with her nails and looked left and right. Oh! What does she do? She had been really worried about her

That was the first time the King had caught her red handed and she knew he’d be really really mad. So, she wanted to know what punishment he had given her this time around.

“But…how about you just pass a message for me?” She turned to the guards and said.
“Just tell her… I came to check up on her and… I’m really sorry for whatever punishment the King must’ve given to her”.

“We’re not delivering any message, Jaden. Get out” The second guard replied grumpily and Jaden glared hard at him.

“You…” She pointed her finger at him. “You so rude” she mumbled and finally walked away.

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

Next_morning

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

Kaylan sat in front of the mirror as they dressed her hair.

Her face was so long and portrayed anger and dissapointment. She felt so bittered.

Finally, she was getting married – getting married to someone she’s never met before.

Although, it was very common in their culture for planned marriages to take place – it was possible for two strangers to just get hooked up by their parents and get married the following day, but she’s always hated it. Yeah! She did.

She’s always dreamt of getting married to a guy she’d – at least – like, if not for love. She’s always wanted to get married to a man of her choice and not just some strange cruel master with a bad image.
Goodness!

She had even pleaded with her father to post pone the meeting so they could get married in two days time, but the old man wouldn’t listen and insisted on marrying her off that very day and ite was so so annoying!

“I’m done, Princess” the hair dresser said and Kaylan glanced into the mirror.

The hair had been styled and beautified with some jewellries.

She was putting on a bridal attire and couldn’t believe she was actually the one looking that matured.
Hmph.

“Do you like it, my princess?” The hair dresser said ecstatically but Kaylan only glared hard at her.

“You want to know the truth? It’s ugly” she answered bluntly and rolled her eyes.

The hair dresser gasped in shock, wondering if the princess was speaking the truth or she was only being angry.

She was sure she had done a great job.

The door opened shortly and a guard showed up.

“Princess Kaylan, your carriage is ready. It’s time to leave” the guard said and Kaylan felt like puking.
Gross!

“Princess Kaylan” the guard called again when she didn’t respond and she rolled her eyes and stood up.

“I heard you the first time, Okay? You don’t have to yell at me” she snapped and walked out the door while the guard followed.
*
She walked out of her chambers, her countenance getting worst and when they got to the carriage, she found her mother waiting there for her.

She lowered her gaze to the floor and fiddled with her nails, not wanting to look at her.

“Kaylan” the Queen called with a sigh. “I understand that you’re angry, but there’s nothing any k us can do at the moment”.

Kaylan didn’t say a word and the Queen took her hand into hers.

“Remember everything I told you last night. Be polite to him, gentle and who knows? You’ll be able to survive it”.

Kaylan only scoffed.

“My dear” she continued. “I know we’ve heard a lot of rumours about this man, but it’s possible…”

“There’s no need for this, mum” Kaylan cut her off, politely tho. “No matter what you say, it’s not going to change the fact thst I don’t want to get married to anyone at all! I just hate this”

The Queen sighed and touched her face.

“I’m going to miss you, dear. Goodluck” she pulled her into a hug but Kaylan didn’t reciprocate.

“You should go now” the Queen said when they disengaged from the hug and quietly, Kaylan turned towards the carriage.
And as she was about walking in, she spotted her step sistes, gawping and sniggering at her. Obviously, they were happy for her misfortune.

She decided to ignore and just walked in, the curtains being closed afterwards.

In no time, the carriage was moving, making her shake a little.

That man – she thought angrily.
She was definitely going to make sure they divorce.

Yes – she’d make him so angry to the extent he’d have to send her back home. Exactly! That was going to be her plan!

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

In a dark room…

Master Xander stood in front of the three men who were on their knees, tied up in chains.

Their whimpers echoed in the silence, accompanying the damp smell that filled the place.

The day was bright, but due to the purpose of the room, Xander made it dark.

“I won’t ask you again” he said after so many seconds, his sword in his right hand.

Three of his guards were in the room with him.

“Who do you work for?”

“No one… Please…we work for no one. Everything we did…was by our own will…” The first man lied again, his voice shaking

In a split second, Xander lifted his sword and sliced through his neck, making him drop dead on the floor..

Terror filled the eyes of the last two. Only his guards didn’t really flinch because they were used to the view already.

Xander looked at the second man on his knees. He didn’t need to repeat the question.

“Please, My Lord…” He shivered. “We are not…”

Another sharp sound was heard immediately as Xander sliced through his neck, making him drop dead on the floor

The last man…fear was a word too small to describe how he felt and he didn’t even let Xander look at him before spilling out the truth.

“It was Royce!” He said aloud, his eyes dilating so bright.
“Royce… Royce sent us!”

There was a pause.

Xander was a little surprised. Royce?

He glanced at the floor, then slowly took his eyes to the man

“Please my Lord! That’s the truth!; I’ve told you the truth already! Please!” The man gibbered and for a few seconds, Xander was silent.

Then, in his usual cold tone, he said:
“You shouldn’t have wasted my time”.

And ‘swipp!” Went the sword on the man’s neck as well.

Xander dropped the stained sword on the floor and started walking out afterwards while two of the guards in the room set out to take care of the bodies.
The third followed him.

His steps announced power as he marched towards his chambers, fully dressed in his armor.

All the maids and guards he’d come across stopped walking and bowed to pay their respect to him. And finally, he got into his chambers.

“My Lord!” One of his guards came running in immediately, but he didn’t turn to look at him as he concentrated on taking off his armor.

“I just wanted to inform you that princess Kalyan’s on her way already”

Xander paused and turned slightly to look at him from his shoulders.

“Who’s Kaylan?” He asked and the guard wouldn’t say he was surprised.

“Um…the lady you’re getting married to” he replied and with the same blank expression, Xander looked away.

“It’s today?” He mumbled as he walked towards his closest and that was the part that cracked the guard up.
He had actually forgotten his own wedding date!

“Yes, my Lord. The letter was brought in yesterday” he replied anyway, with a bow.

Xander completely took off his heavy clothings, then walked into the bathroom afterwards; not saying another word.

Kaylan paced tho and fro in the room, feeling so impatient.
She couldn’t believe her father had locked her up in a cell!!!

Not exactly a cell, but a room that looked like a cell to her!

She marched angrily, her baggy dress swaying left and right with her

Ahh! She was in trouble. Yes, she could feel it.

But why did she have to bump into him anyway? Like… why did he have to ride through the market of all places and at that particular time? He just wanted to get her into trouble, huh?

Urgh!! He was looking so mad at her! And definitely, he must’ve gotten to know she drugged the guards so she could sneak out of the palace.

Oh!! This is really a mess! What is she going to do?

Shortly, she heard the door opening and stopped walking, guessing it was him. Or maybe, her mother.

She watched keenly as the door opened and unexpectedly, it was Rebecca and Martha – her step sisters
Urgh! Seriously?

“And here she is” Martha chuckled as they both stood by the door.
Hold on… why did the guards let them in, huh? Kaylan thought angrily.

“Goodness! Martha, look at how she’s looking like a clown” Rebecca said in a whisper, but loud enough for Kaylan to hear.
And the two girls bursted into laughter.

“This lady is definitely not my sister. I mean… which princess in her right sense would act this way?”

“Hey! If you know you have nothing else to do, I’d suggest you go feed the dogs before I turn you into one myself” Kaylan snapped at them and they laughed heartily.

“You really have no shame, do you?” Rebecca scoffed. “You’re such a disgrace to the family – always moving around like a tout”.

“You really want to know how able tout behaves? Well, I can show you…”.
Kaylan was about going to her when the door opened again and one of the guards walked in.

“Princess Kaylan, the komg wants you in the throne room” he said with his head bowed and Kaylan took in a deep breath.

“Oh, please! You can just call her Kaylan. She doesn’t deserve the title” Rebecca said sarcastically and walked out of the room, giggling with her sister.

Kaylan glared hard at them, trying so hard to control her temper.
It wasn’t so difficult for her to go after them, pull them by the hair and give each of them a desirable beating. But she’s made the King angry enough already and didn’t want to add to it. At least, not yet.

She took in a deep breath and followed the guard out of the room.

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

Getting to the throne room, she found her mother, the King, and two men and one woman as well. They were all familiar.

Kaylan bent her head in contrition as she knew what was going to happen. Those people were definitely there to lay complaints on her and knowing how bad she had upset the King today, she knew it wasn’t a good idea.

She arrived in front of the throne and took a glace at the villagers.

“Good day, father” she turned to the King and said, but he didn’t respond.
Her mother was wearing a bittered look as well.

Slowly, the King turned to the first man and said:
“Go on”.

“Your Majesty” he bowed. “I don’t mean to bother you, but what happened is really disheartening and I just need to say it out. Right now, my son is lying on the bed, bruises allover his face because the princess had beaten him up mercilessly’.

Kaylan’s cheeks got heated immediately. Damn it!.

The King glared at her and looked at the second man.

“Yes?”

“Your Majesty” he bowed. “The princess had almost burnt down my farmland. Although, she didn’t, but she threatened to return at night and do it and I just wanted you to please, My King, talk to her so she doesn’t carry out that threat”

Kaylan pinched herself slowly. Definitely, these people were devil- sent.

“And you?” The King said to the last complainer who was a woman

“Your Majesty” She began. “The princess actually pushed down my goods while running earlier on at the market today. Everything got mixed-up with the sand and became ruined! I know I shouldn’t be bothering you, My King, but I had to sell off my important jewelries just to start up that business. And now that it’s gone, I really don’t know what to do” .

Kaylan’s head was bowed the whole time, not wanting to look at the King.

Oh God! She was done for.

It took some time before The King spoke up.

“Guards!” He called and two guards came scuttling in.

“Your Majesty” they bowed.

“Take then to the financial secretary and tell him I want some compensations given to them” he ordered.

“Yes, your majesty”.

“Oh! Thank you so much, your Majesty! Thank you so much!”

“May you live long!”
The villagers greeted happily and left with the guards.

“Hungry things” Kaylan jibed angrily in her thoughts.

“Kaylan!” The King’s voice broke into her thoughts, sending cold chills down her spine.

Oh! Damnit! And here it comes!

“What exactly do you want me to do with you, huh? How can you go around, causing havoc like a pest?! You’ve made commoners have every reason to visit my palace at anytime they please. You’ve turned my throne room into a room of complaints and mockery!

“Other Kings make jest of me – discussing amongst themselves that I have a daughter who behaves like an tout! How could you go around beating people up and burning down their farmlands?!”

“Caleb was at fault, father” she said with her Head bowed. “He had thrown a stone at me and that’s the reason I chased him and beat him up. And as for the other man, it was just an empty threat. I can never burn down his farmland. I’ll never do such a thing to anyone at all. And…”

“Shut up, Kaylan! Shut up?!” He roared and her mouth clamped shut immediately.

Goodness! She’s never seen her father that angry before.

“How about the woman who’s goods you ruined?” He asked, but she didn’t say a word.
“How about Philip’s fruits? And how about the guards you drugged! Are you so bent on bringing shame to me?!”

A stunned silence stepped in.

“Your other sisters behave matured. They make me proud and have earned a lot of admirations from great Masters and rulers. But you, all you’ve brought to me is nothing but shame and disgrace. Not even a single prince has ever written to you, or make any form of advancement towards you. And with this, it’s shamefully possible you’re only going to grow old here in my palace without ever getting married! Is this the kind of life you’ want, Kaylan?!”

Another silence stepped in.

“I’ve made up my mind, Kaylan” he continued, his voice sounding more cold. “I’m sick and tired of having you here in my Palace. And I’m not going to punish you anymore because I’m tired of it as well!!

“You’re leaving this family,Kaylan. You’re leaving this palace. You’re getting married”.

Kaylan’s eyes dimmed.
What??

“And it’s to no other person but Master Xander”, the King added.
