Chapter 40 - The Woman behind the Arrows

I

Dareon has a hint of who was the woman behind those flying arrows, although he is not yet so sure about it.

“We are all safe now, you can return to your posts now.” The Chieftain Dragon announced to his warriors. He then immediately walked towards his big hovel, his mind was preoccupied with something.

He found his wife, lying on their bed when he got inside. He furrowed. He then shot his bow and arrow hanging on the corner side wall with his squinting eyes. Then he looked at his wife again, lying on the bed, reading a small book.

“Wife, have you been lying on the bed all throughout?” Dareon asked while eyeing his wife with a sort of disbelief in his eyes.

Shelyca put down her book on the bed and looked at her husband. “What do you think husband?”

“Just answer me, wife. Did you use my bow and arrow moments ago?” he interrogated her.

Shelyca gave her husband his sweetest smile. “Yes hubby apology, I was not able to ask your permission first.”

Dareon sighed and then laughed heartily thereafter.

“Goodness wife, I never thought you are really that good at using bow and arrow,” he exclaimed still laughing.

Shelyca laughed too. “You know what hubby, you still have a lot of things to discover about your wife.”

“Oh really? Like what?” Dareon said while walking towards the bed, grinning mischievously.

“A lot but I won’t tell you. It is up for you to discover.” Shelyca said mimicking the words before of Dareon to her when she asked him about his real identity.

Dareon laughed once more. “I remembered with whom you got those words. Do not use it against your Chieftain,” he said as he laid his body beside her and tightly hugged her as he gave her a swarm of kisses in her neck down to her bosom.

“Dareon, I am tickled, gosh, stop,” she murmured, her voice has no strength neither signs of resistance.

“I don’t think, you don’t like it wifey,” he murmured and planted more kisses on his wife’s bosom, to her navel and down below.

Thereafter, moaning of the spouses filled the four walls of their bedroom.

At the Kingdom of Sussex, Duke Simon hurriedly left the palace; his aura seemed to be impenetrable. Since the time that he learned that Princess Shelyca betrayed him, he became more arrogant, easily angered, and loses his patience. None in his palace’s staff would dare come near him unless it is urgent.

“Bring me to the Mambu Shine Beach Resort now!” The Duke’s order to his driver, after he took his seat inside his newest Bentley car. He took out his mobile phone from his luxurious, black leather clutch bag and dialed a certain number.

The driver carefully and gently speed-off the Duke’s Bentley car. If the Duke would find his driving unsatisfactory, he will lose his job the next day. So, better be more careful than losing his dearest job.

“Hello, yes, I am heading now to the Mambu Shine Beach Resort. Tell them you will be meeting me; I have given instructions to the Manager of the resort already. See you then and by the way, this time failure is not an option, or else you know what will happen!” Then he cut off his call after murmuring a goodbye to the person on the other line.

He looked outside the car’s window with such unfathomable expression on his handsome face, which is slowly getting haggard because of his everyday feeling of madness, stress, thought for revenge, and so on and so forth.

Losing the woman of his dreams, made the young Duke, feeling empty and miserable. He could not accept that the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Gold Valley never felt remorse when they found out that their daughter, Princess Shelyca had married another man. Worst, Princess Shelyca was even proud to introduce to him her newly wedded husband.

He wanted to even think that Princess Shelyca, made up the plan at the onset not to meet him at all, to the extent of sacrificing the life of her personal assistant, who was also her cousin. She made it appear that everything has been an accident and that out of gratitude she married the man who saved her life. Nonsense and simply outrageous thoughts, but Duke Simon could not think better to anger more himself.

“Damn, damn you Princess Shelyca, and most of all your husband and your parents. They will receive my wrath!” Duke Simon sneered to the surprise of his driver.
