Chapter 38
Their simple conversation had turn to a kissing war, there was nothing she didn't do but she couldn't stay away from him. She was addicted to the taste of his lips, to his scent, to his body, she craved him.
She moved even closer to him just to allow him more access to touch her, he gives her a moment to breathe and her eyes tell him to grope her, she wanted to be touched.
He placed gentle kisses on her neck, slowly pulling her garment down her shoulders, to be able to place kisses on them, he drew a line around her collar bone and he took in her scent. It was intoxicating, a mix of roses; their sweet fragnance, coupled with the pungent Metallic scent of blood. It was a perfect mix to him.
Her eyes were dilated with love and lust, she wanted him to take her so badly but he didn't know how his Master would feel if he found out that he was sleeping with his daughter.
'My Queen…." He was still very unsure, he didn't know if he was doing the right thing by having a relationship with her, even though they both wanted it.
'I want you…. Please…" She cups his cheeks and his hands take off her dress ever so slowly, his eyes were anticipating what he would see, he wanted to see her in all her beauty. And he was going to.
He was going to until a form barges into the room,
'I'm here!!" A dramatic shriek announces itself and the couple are forced to stop whatever they were doing and pretend they were normal, 'your majesty!" He bows dramatically but hadn't noticed she was too busy fixing her dress.
She turns to him with a small but nervous smile, 'welcome, I'm glad you could make it." She does her best to pull her hair over her exposed flesh, he rises from his position, stretching into a height.
'Of course I would make it! I wouldn't ever want to keep my Queen waiting." He laughs to himself, proving himself as quite the character. He was bubbly and had a nice aura round him but there was something about him. He felt too familiar to Asher.
'I'm glad you think that way, this is the patient, I would love to employ you in the palace, you would take care of all our wounded soldiers and in return you would be compensated with luxury and whatever you wish." She smiles warmly at their new Doctor,
'Sounds like a good deal to me!! Now let me see the knuckle head," he moves a little to see his first patient and when he does, his mouth drops to he floor, and so does Asher's.
'You?!!!"
Arcadia was caught between something she had no idea of and she was doing her best not to look awkward and lost.
'You're a soldier here?!" His eyes are wide with disbelief,
'I thought you were dead!!" He didn't believe he was seeing him, 'are you sure you're not dead?" He was beginning to consider the fact that he was a ghost,
'Last time I checked you were always dragging me into trouble so I should be asking you that question, I though I would never see you again!!" His eyes begin to water but he wipes the tears away quickly.
'Am I missing something?" She finally decides to speak up cause she didn't like her state of confusion,
'Your majesty, fire him immediately! He would burn your kingdom to the ground I warn you!! He is highly unstable!" The doctor accuses him,
'What?! Don't listen to him! Fire him!! He never remembers what to put in what! He would poison everyone, mark my words Arcadia!!" They are throwing fingers at each other but he is genuinely shocked,
'You address the Queen by her name?!!" And he is about fainting, they both blush at the fact that he called her by her name, 'do you have no respect at all you ugly child?!" He repeatedly attacks him, Making sure to hit his head but Asher could still defend himself,
'Last time I checked you were the ugly one!!" A punch to his gut and it turns to a full fight, and Arcadia is watching them like a bunch of actors performing a comedy. Even if they're constant nagging and fighting, it was only a few seconds it took them to cry on each other,
'I honestly thought I lost you, but I should've known you can't die so easily." He tugs on his hair, 'so you actually fulfilled your dream of being a soldier, and for the Queen again." He smirks to his core,
'I'm still clueless here." She waves to make sure she isn't entirely forgotten and both men laugh,
'Arcadia, this is Conan, he's my childhood friend. We got separated after our Village was attacked and burned to the ground." He explains everything and this was a surprising turn of events,
'It's a pleasure to reunite two long lost friends, I hope you would be able to revitalize your friendship and also do your work properly. But from what you two have been saying about each other, maybe I should consider replacement?" She didn't want all her people dying of poisoning and her kingdom burning because two friends are trying to get back at each other.
'No!!" They shout in unison, 'I would make sure he behaves!" They were basically in sync,
'Very well, I would come back to check up on you Asher, please take care of him in my absence." She rises to take her leave and he watches her with a smirk on his face, that was until Conan wiped it away with a smack to the back of his head,
'You have no respect!! Calling the Queen by her name; or have you done something to her already?!" He wrinkled his nose in disgust if that were to actually happen,
'Well….not yet." He grins like a fool and another smack to his head, 'you're supposed to make me feel better not hurt me!! How the hell did you even become a doctor?!" He rubs his head in pain,
'Because I'm smart and talented and you're just a big ball of trouble!!" He pulls his hair even harder and Asher is in pain, 'but I've missed you, I searched everywhere for you and I really thought you were dead." His violet orbs are soft with emotions,
'I actually thought so too….. The fire killed almost everyone, I though I lost the only family I had." He turns to his half brother, 'how on Earth did you ever get here? I never stopped looking for you."
'Me neither, it led me to become a nomad, I moved and I found here, I saw that the Queen needed a new doctor and so I applied and here I am!!" He laughs a little, 'I wish I had known that you would be here, I would've come to see you earlier. I've been here for about three months now." He takes a sit on his bed, 'I heard about your feat." He smirks at his brother and he just rolls his eyes.
'A soldier should never fear death." He smirks a little,
'It suits you a lot!! Since you're always almost dying!!" He laughs him to scorn, 'let me see what your wound looks like." He removed the bandage to see the hole in his body, he cringes, 'you always seem to level up in your dangerous feats." That didn't look pretty at all.
'It was a planned attack from Alpha Mace. He is obsessed with killing her," it was worrying him,
'That's not a new thing, he's obsessed with anyone that goes against him. I only stayed a month with him and then I ran away, he is crazy!" He pulls out a mixture from his bag, 'it would sting slightly." He warns but Asher knew better; add a little salt to whatever he said.
It stung a lot and as he applied it, he could see the evil smile on his face. He was so happy causing him pain. But that wasn't the important thing when his mind replayed his statement,
'You worked for Mace?"
