"Feeling better?" Jedrek asked Lilac when she finally stopped sobbing and her body no longer trembled like it did half an hour ago.
The execution had ended on a bad note for Lilac, it was her first time killing someone. Not to mention, she killed five people at the same time, yet even if she done nothing, they would die anyways, she just alleviated their pain.
Nonetheless, she still felt bad for everything that had happened earlier, and it had drained her energy, emotionally.
Therefore, here she was; after putting down her strong façade, she broke into tears once she was alone with her mate.
Lilac didn't answer him, but she hugged him even tighter and buried her face against his chest. She wanted nothing more at this moment except to forget everything and fell asleep.
However, those two things were absolutely impossible for her right now.
The scenes repeated in her head continuously and the centaurs' song kept ringing in her years, even now. Lilac bit her lips and relished the touch of her mate, who was caressing her back in a soothing rhythm.
"Sleep my little flower, a good thing will happen tomorrow." This was what Jedrek had always been repeating to himself while he was still enduring the darkest days of his life, under the clutches of the dead soul of his father and the devils back then.
He kept repeating that, but he finally reached a point where he got to face the reality that it was all a huge lie that he told himself to escape the reality.
However, at this particular moment, he wanted nothing but for that to come true. At least for the little flower in his arms. He didn't want her withering away just because of a small snitch, because there would be a lot more gruesome things that would happen in the near future.
She couldn't break down just because of this.
She could cry now, but when the sun rose again tomorrow, Jedrek wanted her to return to her stronger self and rule with him like she did during the execution.
"Sleep my little flower," Jedrek coaxed her, and then he decided to hum the only tune that he ever heard when he was little, though the memory of it was obscure about who used to sing this melody for him.
This was a first, for him to persuade someone to stop crying or lull someone to their sleep, yet he did it for her and the king hoped this was enough.
==============
Just like what Jedrek had planned previously, though it was a little bit delayed because of what had happened with Lilac, two days later however, when she was finally strong enough to go on a long trip, she and Jedrek decided to go to eastern region.
It had been weeks since the last time they heard anything from Killian and Tordoff. Something must have happened to them and Jedrek had to go himself to know it.
Not only that, he had to see it for himself, whether he could get the eastern people to fight along his side in this coming war, or if he had to fight them also.
It could be concluded when he visited them later.
And he needed his queen. Not because he wanted to hear what were her thoughts or opinion, but above all that, Jedrek felt safe if Lilac was near him at all times.
He could be less worried if his mate was within his arm's reach and in his sight. The last event had taught him that.
Meanwhile, the matters about the kingdom, Torak was entrusted with them, despite his reluctance and refusal here and there, he knew there was no one Jedrek could trust this heavy responsibility aside from him, since Kace would rather choose to flee or play dead, if he had to be burdened by those things which had anything to do remotely with their monarchy.
Jedrek left Eaton by Torak side, while he took his last two generals, Sebastian and Theo with him.
When all the necessary preparations were accomplished and Jedrek was about to go to the entrance gate where all the people and his sweet mate had been waiting for him, he felt someone rushing toward him and out of reflex he dodged it.
It was not really someone with evil intentions he thought, it was just a little girl, who was staring at him curiously. Her eyes reminded Jedrek of a stray cat.
They stared into each other eyes for about two seconds longer before Jedrek decided to go and meet his mate.
Yet, the little girl followed him.
"What do you want?" Jedrek asked without turning his eyes toward the girl, but he knew she was following him. Her noisy footsteps were very clear to hear.
"Are you the king?" she asked.
She was with Rosie earlier, but she spotted Jedrek, thus she rerouted her course of steps and went after him. This was the first time for her to see the king, thus she was a little bit excited to find out more.
Jedrek didn't answer that question. He fastened his pace and the little girl was running now to catch up with him. This girl was fearless.
"Are you the king? Why are you running away?" she kept asking, panting, in order to catch up with Jedrek.
However, her long dress made it hard for her to run and in the end, she tripped over her own dress and almost fell face first.
Fortunately, Jedrek had good reflexes, he caught the girl's shoulder and pulled her back on to her feet.
"Are you the king?" She asked again, ignoring the fact that she almost fell.
"Apparently, yes," Jedrek finally replied, he looked around to see whether there was someone who was looking for this noisy little girl.
"Wow!" her cute lips formed into an 'o' and she clapped her hands. "This is my first time to see a king so close."
"Now you have seen me, you can go back to wherever you come from," Jedrek said, he was about to walk again, but the little girl clutched onto his cloak. "What again?" Jedrek asked irritably.
"You are handsome!" she said with a wide smile on his lips.
"Hm?" Jedrek tilted his head in curiosity. "What is your name?"
"Bree," she said.
==============
Merry Christmas for you, who celebrated it. May the spirit of Christmas bring you and your family hope, love and happiness.
