The Master’s Third Wife Episode 51

Kaylan could feel her heart in her throat as soon as the words escaped his lips.

Her heart stopped beating instantly, confusion and anxiety taking over. What did… What did he just say?

“M…My Lord?” She stuttered, her eyes glued to his face.
“I don’t… I don’t think I understand”.

Xander said nothing, but only picked up some vegetables with his spoon.

Kaylan was gobsmacked. Was this guy for real?

Slowly, she turned and glanced at the door, a crazy idea popping in. Goodness! There was no way she could run away. His guards by the door would definitely seize her as soon as she steps a foot.

“You should start eating, Princess” his cold voice suddenly broke into her thoughts, snapping her out and she looked up at him.

“Um….Of course, I’ll eat. But the aspect of spending the night here, I hope that is different” she feigned a smile and began eating, while Xander said nothing.
*
*
The rest of the time at the dining was completely quiet as neither Kaylan nor Xander said a word.

Well, Lord Xander was usually the quiet type. So, it wasn’t a new thing. But Kaylan, she couldn’t say a word because she was in delima.

Lord Xander wasn’t a man to just play around with words… He couldn’t be joking about what he said. But then again, Kaylan didn’t want to believe he was actually serious. Why would he want her to spend the night in his bed? Simply because of that joke she’d said the previous day?? Seriously??

They were still eating when suddenly, his guard walked in.

“Greetings, My Lord” he bowed.
“Sorry to disturb, but King Ephraim is here to see you. He’s in the throne room”.

King Ephraim – Xander thought. That was sharon’s father. What was he doing there – unannounced?

“I’ll be there shortly” He replied and Axel bowed and left immediately.

Thank goodness – Kaylan heaved a sigh.

Not long after, Xander stood up with his meal untouched and that was like the best moment for Kaylan as she felt happy she’d be able to return to her room.

“You’re not permitted to leave this room for today, Princess” Xander suddenly said, making her eyes go open in shock.
Whaaat???

She stood up as well.

“I don’t… I don’t think I understand. Am I being arrested?” She asked, wearing a crumpled look.

“If you were being arrested, you’ll be in a cell by now”, Xander answered coldly, walking to his closet to get a jacket.
“You must’ve thought I was joking when I told you you’ll be spending the night here”.

For the Creator’s sake! Was he really serious??

For a minute, she was gobsmacked, even as he took his jacket and wore it on. But when he began walking towards her for the door, she found something to say.

“It’s fine” she sighed. “But I…. I’ll need to go to my room,at least. You know, I need a bath, need to change my clothes. I can’t do all of that here”.

Xander had stopped walking to listen at her, and he let out a scoff when she was done.

“Tell the guards to get you whatever clothes you need. You should have your bath here” he answered and finally walked out the door.

“Oh, no!” Kaylan muttered, turning to the direction of the door with her hands on her chest.

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

Lord Xander marched out of his room and met Axel and two other guards at the door.

“Make sure the Princess doesn’t leave this room” he said to the other two and started walking away, while Axel followed up behind him immediately.

The guards and maid servants they came across kept bowing to him as they walked by, but didn’t even get a wave in return. Well, they were used to it.

Finally, they arrived at the throne room and there they met King Ephraim already waiting, with his hands behind his back.

He’d have been sitting but, there were no seat for visitors in the throne room.

“Lord Xander” King Ephraim turned and called when he noticed his presence in the room.

Xander said nothing until he’d finally gotten to his position at the throne.

“Greetings, King Ephraim” his tone was rapt.
“To what do I owe this unannounced visit? You should’ve told me beforehand so I can set a proper table for us”.

“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about, Xander. I actually came around to see a close brother and decided to dash in to see you. How has it been with the community?” King Ephraim replied, taking a step closer.

“It has been great. And I trust you’re doing fine as well”. Xander asked.

“Ah! Of course”.

A brief silence stepped in.

“I heard you’re having a fight with Prince Berlin, come dawn tomorrow” King Ephraim asked.
“Some humans, simply don’t know their match”.

All Xander did was scoff. He wasn’t the type to discuss things and people with others. He wouldn’t call it gossip anyway”.

When King Ephraim noticed Xander didn’t have any interest in talking about the fight, he decided to move on.

“I’d have sent one of my messengers to bring this to you” ,he began, bringing out the letter he had in his hand.
“But since I came around, I decided it was best to just bring it over myself’.

He walked closer to the throne and handed the letter over to Xander.

“I hope you can take out time to read this. It has to do with My daughter”. He proffered the letter out to him, Lord Xander collected reluctantly.

“Have a nice day, Xander” he ended with a smile.

“And you too” Xander replied perfunctorily and watched the King leave.

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 50

By: Faith Lucky
Hilda’s heart was beating so heavily as she stood at the balcony with the strange man.

The walls were cracked and the area, almost unrecognizable. She couldn’t even tell where she was.

The strange man let out a smirk as he saw the fear on her face. And then he took out the wrapped potion and handed over to her.

“Tomorrow’s the day; don’t forget” he said.
“All you have to do is make sure you sprinkle this in Lord Xander’s meal or drink, so he takes them just before he leaves for the battle. I know you don’t want to do this,but don’t forget the life of your only son is at stake. My men are with him and the moment they notice you’ve failed on your mission, they’ll split your son’s neck and send his head to you. Do you understand?”

Hilda’s hands were shaking with the potion in it; she was sweating profusely. Why would these men want to poison Lord Xander?

She knew what that is; she could tell it wasn’t a poison to kill, but a poison to make him weak and dizzy. Why would they want to do this?

Oh, savhors! Her son’s life was at stake! She didn’t even know where they’d taken him already. What does she do?

Suddenly, the man gripped her roughly by the arm.

“I SAID, do you understand?” He gritted and she nodded tearfully.

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

It had taken Kaylan a lot to summon up the courage she needed and walk into the room. And getting inside, a sweet aroma welcomed her.

She paused, looked around, but couldn’t find Xander. But… she’d found some garnished meals on the small dining which was just beside the wall. Hm. So, Lord Xander could eat this much?

But where was he, anyways? Was the guard sure he was in?

She took another step away from the door, into the room and her eyes caught the sight of the glittering jewelries on the wall.

Oh! No, Kaylan! The last time she’d admired his jeweleries, it didn’t turn out well. So, quickly, she took her gaze away and the next place her eyes rested upon were the food on the dining.

Oh! For the creators sake! It was looking so delicious.

She walked closer to it, taking a peep and she found one of her favorite beef part over there. But why would Lord eat so much food, huh? It wasn’t good for a man to eat that much – definitely.

Well…he could eat all he wants, but perhaps, taking just that part wouldn’t change a thing. She was pretty sure he wouldn’t even notice.

So, with that thought in mind, she looked around again and quickly, dipped her hand into the plate where she brought out the sauced meat. But that was her doom as the door to the bathroom opened immediately with Lord Xander stepping out of it.
Oh, God! No…!

Kaylan’s heart skipped immediately.

He was putting on a black nightie and first had his eyes staring down at the floor before lifting them and noticing the lady in front of him. With….a piece of meat. Wow…

Kaylan could feel her heart in her mouth we she stared at the meat and looked up at him. Goodness! Was this a trap or something? What would he think of her? Stealing meat from his meal?

Slowly, she dropped the meat back into the plate.

“Um…. I can assure you; it’s not what you think. I was …Um… Only trying to make sure …”

She stopped talking when Xander left the bathroom door and started walking towards her. No; not towards her; but the dining.

Okay; maybe she didn’t needed to explain. Let the worst happen already….

The sauce from the meat was still stuck on her finger and timidly, she licked it.

There were just two chairs on the dining, each across,. And gentle Xander’ took one of the seats.
Even in her predicament, she still had the time to notice how charming he looked – as usual.

His skin color was unusually glowing with his pretty eyes adding so much cuteness to him.

His long hair was well brushed and relaxed, and as they fell freely on his back, they sparkled.

“Greetings, My Lord” she finally said, realizing she hadn’t greeted since he walked in. And that was a big offense.

“Um…Your chief guard told me you wanted to see me”.

“Take a seat, Kaylan” Xander said almost immediately.
“Let’s have breakfast”.

Okay; and that was the point Kaylan had to express her surprise.
Hold on; breakfast??? Was this a joke or something??

For almost a minute, she was silent.

“My Lord?” She scoffed. “Is there… A problem?”

“Yesterday”, Xander looked up at her.
“When you were babbling about responsibilities and the rest, you never told me having breakfast was a problem”.

Hold on; whaaat??? Was he doing all of these because of the things she’d said the previous day?? Goodness! That was just some stupid excuse to get him to see her, and also stop him from copulating with that sèx mistress of his. She didn’t mean a thing.

“My…My Lord, I didn’t mean to upset you with my words yesterday. And I sincerely hope you’re not taking it the wrong way” she said with her head bowed. .

“Not yet, Kaylan. But I really think you should sit” he stated grumpily and realizing she didn’t have much of an option anymore, she lowered herself to the seat behind her.

Seriously? Well, it was to her own benefit, anyway. At least, she’d get to have a taste of that meat …

“Um…. I must say… thank you for this privileg” she cleared her throat a bit and said.
The room was so bright and for the first time, she could notice something about Lord Xander – he was a pretty young guy. Just his huge muscles and grumpiness made him seem tooo matured most of the times.

“It isn’t a privilege, Kaylan” he said, picking up his cutleries.
“It’s a responsibility – you explained it yourself. And.. I hope you’re ready to spend the night on my bed today”.

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 49

By dawn of the following day, the news of the fight taking place between Lord Xander and Prince Berlin had gone really rival.

Kings and Rulers had gotten an invitation to the venue of the fight and they were all muddled, wondering why Prince Berlin would challenge someone like Xander to a fight.

They all know him – he was the master of swords, the demon fighter. Kingdoms were scared of going to war with him. So, why would Prince Berlin want to bring trouble for himself?

Some of them felt it was a waste of time going to see how a mere prince would be killed. But the others felt they would really want to enjoy the show.
*
*
That morning, Kaylan sat in the room with Jaden, talking over it with breakfast.

“But why would Prince Berlin challenge Lord Xander to a fight? Just because he wants revenge?” Jaden asked, munching on her bread.
“It’s just like a fly going to challenge a lion”.

Kaylan said nothing as she only ate in silence, having a doleful look on.

“What’s the problem with you, Kaylan? You don’t want the fight to go on?” Jaden asked.

“It’s not just that, Jaden. I don’t know why but, I feel so uncomfortable with the fight taking place tomorrow. I feel like… something bad is about to happen” Kaylan muttered.

“Oh, Kaylan. Will you stop being dramatic? It’s Lord Xander we’re talking about, you know? He’s undefeatable. I think Prince Berlin’s just acting out of anger and it’s so unfortunate that anger is going to get him killed. I wonder if his parents are not trying to stop him”. Jaden shook her head and took another munch from her bread.

They continued eating and just then, a knock came on the door.

“Who’s it?” Jaden did the asking and the door opened with Axel coming in.

“I didn’t ask you to come in. I only wanted to know who was knocking” Jaden snapped, but Axel said nothing as he only walked in with his shoulders high and stood in front of Kaylan.

“Greetings, Princess” he bowed a little.
“Sorry for the interruption, but Lord Xander wants you in his chambers – now”.

Kaylan’s jaws dropped. What???

She glanced at Jaden who was also looking gobsmacked.

“Wh…. why?” She stuttered, confused.

“I’m sorry, Princess. But I can’t say” Axel replied.

“And why would you deliver a message when you can’t state the reason?”Jaden cut in.
“My princess deserves to know why she’s being called upon”.

“Since you derive so much joy in being the princess’ spokesman, I’d suggest you go ask Lord Xander his reason for calling on her” Axel answered brusquely and returned his gaze to Kaylan.

“I’ll be waiting outside, My Princess” he added and started walking away, while Jaden’s mouth was agaped with shock.

“You’re completely mannerless, you know that?!” She rasped from behind.
“The nerves of that guy to speak that way to me”.

“Jaden, why do you think Xander’s calling for me?” Kaylan asked as soon as he walked pass the door, ignoring Jaden’s queries.

“I wish I had an idea, Kaylan. Did you do something wrong?” Jaden asked.

“I’ve been with you the whole time,Jaden. What could I possibly do wrong? Even if I did something wrong, you know you’ll be the first to find out”.

“Hmm…”
Jaden placed her hand on her jaw.

“Tell you what, Kaylan, I think you should just go for it. Yes, don’t worry. Just go. Since you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t be scared”. Jaden said.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes… it’s not like you have any other option, anyway. Come on, don’t commit a real offense by keeping him waiting” Jaden urged and Kaylan stood up afterwards.

She paused and took a downward glance at her dress.

“Do you think I’m good enough, or I should….”

“You’re good enough, Kaylan. It’s morning and no one should be seen with a heavy look” Jaden rolled her eyes, making Kaylan tweak her ear.

“Ouch….”

“You better mind the way you talk to me, Jaden. I can have you whipped”. She warned, but Jaden only bursted out laughing.

“Even if you become the ruler of the entire world, you can never have me punished” Jaden spanked her @ss while Kaylan laughed and left the room.
*
*
Getting outside, she met Axel still waiting for her and that was where her fears returned. Why was Xander calling for her?

He took the lead while she followed and after a long walk, they got to his chambers.

“He’s inside, Princess” Axel pointed to the room and took his position which was right beside the entrance, but Kaylan felt nervous going in.

“Um .. Do you think he wants to punish me?” She asked lowly, itching her nape.

“I don’t think so, Princess. I just see you should go in and see for yourself” he answered and fixed his gaze straight, indicating he didn’t want any more questions.

Kaylan was baffled. Why else would Xander be calling for her, huh? The only times he’s sent for her was when she’d done something wrong and he’d wanted to punish her. So, what could it be this time around?

Standing there and questioning herself, she decided she couldn’t get any answers from there and decided to go in herself.
