The night finally ended and Aylin sighed in relief when she noticed the first rays of the sun falling on the land of Aranill. She had had it enough and she was now prepared to return to her position as the Commander of Aranill. The more she stayed alone, the more her memories haunted her. She wanted a distraction and her work was her distraction.
Even before the sun had completely risen in the sky, she was ready was for her work and she stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were swollen and she looked exhausted. But Aylin did not care. She was prepared to involve herself in her work and forget everything else, everything that only caused her pain.
Azimir's charming face appeared in her mind and a gentle smile made its way on her lips. She sighed on recalling the finest man she had ever met. But the next instant, her smile slipped when she realized that she was not destined to be with such a fine man. Her world was filled with darkness and she did not wish to pull him in with her and make his life miserable too.
Aylin had not seen the man after she had forced him out of her manor. She had not even heard about him from anyone either.
'How could you hear about him when you have not left the manor even for a while?' She sneered in her mind. 'I hope you have followed my advice and have returned to Ideni. You will not get any happiness from me.' She let out a sardonic smile before she picked up the penannular brooch which belonged solely to the Commander of Aranill. It was her pride, her happiness and her status. She pinned it to her jacket and picked up her scabbard.
While the sword was clasped to her belt, the dagger was hidden in her jacket sleeve. Glancing at herself again, she walked out of her room. After not having a hearty meal the entire day the previous day, Aylin was now starving. But she was in no mood to cook again.
After locking the door, she mounted her horse and rode towards one of the inns. Other than a few people, the streets were fairly deserted and Aylin was glad that she did not have to face intruding gazes. She could not face their sympathetic gazes nor was she interested in hearing their words of concern.
Aylin chose the inn that was closer to the palace and the moment the inn owner saw her, he gawked at her, stunned by her appearance. She looked as commanding as ever and if not for her swollen eyes, anyone would have misunderstood the dreadful incident that happened with her to be their dreams.
"Is the inn not open yet?" She inquired after tying the horse in the stable. The man's inquisitive gaze was making her uncomfortable and she wanted to divert his attention from her.
Her voice brought the inn owner out of his thoughts and he rushed to her immediately, welcoming her with a smile.
"No, no, Commander. The is already open. Please come in. Come in." He urged her to enter inside, pulled out a chair for her to sit down. He smiled at her warmly, observing her expression for some time. Even though he could not trace any sadness from her, he could detect the changes in her.
The inn owner was a wise man and he discerned at once how impacted the lady was by the incident. However, instead of mourning over her family members' deaths and isolating herself from everyone, she had returned to work and he could not help but admire her personality. She certainly was the strongest woman he had known in his life and silently agreed with her decision to return to her position.
"What would you like to have Commander?"
"May I have a glass of warm water first?"
"Yes, yes." The man returned with a glass of warm water and stood beside her politely, waiting for her to order her food.
"I would like to have a plate of fried eggs and bacon."
"Of course, Commander. I will get your order shortly." The inn owner personally took her order and conveyed it to the cook before he returned to his place.
As time passed, the inn started to crowd with other warriors and merchants and Aylin squirmed uncomfortably sensing their gazes on her. She had the urge to run away from the place. But she calmed herself when she realized that she had to face them some day. It was better to get over with it quickly.
The inn owner returned with her breakfast and Aylin ate her food under the gazes of all the men around her. She did not care what they whispering even after knowing that they were speaking about her. She was famished and the moment she saw the delicious food, she forgot about them completely.
'I need to fill my stomach if I wish to fight the masked man. I cannot harm myself just like that.' She thought as she savored the food she was eating.
'Aunt Martha, this food is not good as the food your prepare. I am missing your cooking a lot.' She thought and forced the food down her throat when she remembered her aunt. "I miss you a lot, Aunt Martha. I do. And I will do all it takes to give a miserable death to the man who caused your death. I promise.'
Aylin finished her food with great difficulty and she left the inn after paying the owner. The instant she left the place, the whispers became louder as people stopped being secretive. But Aylin had left on her horse to hear anything they were speaking.
The palace guards were stunned to see Aylin riding towards them. They had not expected her to return to her position this quickly and they stared at her in a daze. It was only when they heard her horse neigh that they came out of their reverie and rushed to her to help her with the horse.
Aylin did not even smile at them when the men greeted her and the warriors could help not but feel aggrieved for her.. Just one terrifying incident was all it took for their Commander to change completely.
