CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: VICTORY AT LAST.
Sir Orson walked into the meeting hall with a scroll in his hands.
He handed it to Arthur who went through it. It read, “King Manfred has waged war against us. I am going to lead the armies. Don’t worry about me, I will be fine. ”
Arthur’s eyes w¡dened in anger. He folded the sheet into his grip, “I must return to Atlantis.” He said, standing to his feet.
” You can’t leave, we are nearly to conclude on the project. Until then, you mustn’t leave. ”
” My wife and my child are in trouble, I will not sit and watch them die. It is my responsibility, I will do whatever it takes to protect them. “He protested.
After a brief silence, king Hugh nodded a go ahead. And in no wa-ist of time, Arthur was riding back home.

King Manfred was losing the war and he can see how his armies fall helpless to the ground.
He had matched with about ten thousand armies but now, not even a hundred could survive.
Non of Atlantis armies could be seen dead, not even a single was slaughtered.
Manfred witnessing all this got shocked.
There was no turning back again. His eyes diverted to Renata who slayed with no mercy.
He could see Arthur’s spirit in her. Not the woman he had thought she was, she fought like a true warrior.
A true knight…
She turned at Manfred who still couldn’t leave the world of shock, staring hopelessly at her.
“You look surprised, Manfred. Are you scared that you are losing?”
“What did you do? ” He growled.
” I did what has to be done. ”
” You used witchcraft. You disobeyed the rules. ”
She chuckled. ” What do you know about the rules? My father once said, ‘ To win a war, you have to break the rules to gain your victory. ‘ Guess that is what I just did. ”
” This is not a fair fight, ” he stormed. ” You cheat! ”
She laughed. ” Cheat you say? ” She scoffed, ” I am only protecting my people, what did you do for yours? I will do whatever it takes, go contradictory to the rules just to save my kingdom. What a hopeless man like you, to think you can win this battle? ”
” I would have, if you hadn’t involved witchcraft. ”
” You can’t. ” She shook, ” You train weak armies and match hopeless knights to fight against me? You’ve lost once, why would you ever think you will win this time? Now, I will give you one last chance to retreat or you die by my sword. ”
” I will be a coward to retreat, I rather die than be a fool. ”
” Then, so be it. ” She slashed the sword across his neck, his head dropping to the ground.
She picked it up, rising it high for everyone to see.
“King Manfred is dead, if you still want to live, join me and together we will protect Atlantis! ”
All the remaining survivals from Manhattan and Asia dropped their weapons kneeling with one knee to the ground, bowing.
“All hail the Queen!” Cried Sir Gwen.
“Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! ”
Together, they match back to the castle.
She sat on her bed, taking off the steel armour. Ginny and Arya rushed in looking startled and concerned.
Renata gulped a full cup of water before she thought about noticing their presence.
“Why do you two look worried?” She asked.
“We are only concerned about you and the child.” Said Ginny who looked more concerned.
” I am fine. The war is over, Atlantis and it’s people are safe. ”
They both nodded.
” Your majesty, the king has returned.” Sir Gwen informed.
Arya left with Ginny. Renata looked at the window, “Thank you.”
“Always a pleasure, Rena.”She disappeared.
Arthur walked in looking more concerned than anyone else. Passing through the hallway and seeing as the knights parade made him sick for Rena’s safety.
He banged in, only to see her laid on the bed, her face staring at the ceiling.
She turned to look at him, waving a soft smile at him but he rushed to her, burying her in his embrace. “Are you alright?”
She nodded, still smiling. “You saw my letter?”
“I had to return as soon as I saw it. What happened?”
“I did it, I killed Manfred. It’s over, Atlantis is save from his threat, we all are. ”
He gasped surprisingly at her. He just couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
She had led thousand armies yet appeared untouched.
He hated himself for ever doubting her abilities. He buried a k-ss on her l-ips, feeling the newness of her l-ips against his.
She was full of surprises and she never cease to be surprising him.
“Thank you.” He whispered.
“For what?”
“For not listening to me. I could have loosed so many innocent live if not you had listened to me. ”
” Just trying to help. ”
” You never told me you were training. ”
” You never asked. And besides, if I had to tell you, you would confine me in my room till I deliver. So I figured out that it wasn’t necessary telling you. ”
” Also, someone helped us win this war. ”
” Who is that? ” He asked.
” Don’t tell me you have forgotten so soon? ” She said, pretending to be offended.
“Freya?” He said, sounding more like a question. “I would never forget her.”
“She is the reason why we never loosed a knight. She saved us all. ”

One ❤️ for Freya… She won’t cease from surprising me.

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: HONORIA VISITS RENATA’S.
( 7 Months Later )
Another brand new day for Renata as the sun found its way into her chamber.
She yawned, rubbing her eyes softly as she glared around the room.
She mo-ned at the slight pain from her stomach.
She held her stomach as she got down her bed, forcing her way to the bathroom.
The weight of her bell was getting heavier for her.
She remembered back then when she was still little, when her mother was pregnant for Hazel.
She would always come to play with it, sometimes have her head laid on it.
And while she plays with it, her mother would yell at her.
It’s now she was beginning to see what those yells meant.
“Ouch!” She hissed, pulling herself to the bathroom.
She grabbed the door, breathing in a thousand air just to see that the pain subsides.
It’s really not as simple as she had wished it would be.
Luckily, Arthur entered and she didn’t hesitate to call him.
“Arthur,” she gro-ned, “I think I need a little help in here. ”
He quickly rushed in, grabbing her.” You shouldn’t be doing this alone.”
“I was thinking today would be like yesterday. I never knew things would get a little different. ”
He helped her take off her nightgown, dropping her into the bathtub.
She sighed heavily as the warm water felt against her skin.
“How do you feel?” He asked, sounding a little concerned.
“Much better, I guess.”
“I can call the midwife if you want.”
Renata shook. “I don’t think the baby wants to leave real quick. I am feeling pains is because the child is kicking. ” She looked at him. ” If it’s a boy, he will be like his father. ”
” And if she’s a girl, she will be just like her mother. ” He placed a k-ss on her l-ips.
She chuckled.

Arthur has left for his meeting with his royal cabinets. Renata sat on her bed, rubbing her stomach repeatedly.
Arya walked in, “My lady, lady Honoria has arrived. She is waiting at the drawing room. ”
Renata looked surprised as much as she looked happy to hear the news.
“I will be there in a minute.” She said and Arya exited the room.
She walked to the mirror, playing a little justice on her face before leaving for the drawing room.
The door swung open, she walked in making a stop at the door.
For a while she stared at her sister who admired one of her portrait Arthur drew last year.
“It’s beautiful.” Said Honoria, her eyes still not leaving the drawing. “Who drew it?”
“Arthur,” she answered. “That was last year.” She sat beside her. “You didn’t send me a letter that you were coming. Does father and mother knows of this? ”
” Yes. I wanted to send a letter first but they forced me to come here instead. ”
She smiled.” So how have you been? Mother, father and my sisters? ”
” They are all fine. Same as Avalon. ”
” That is a good news then. The maids will be getting something for you to eat. Please bear with me. ”
She held her hand. ” I should blame myself instead, not you. ” She sighed, with a soft smile. ” Rena, I know we haven’t been in good terms with each other and have never shared the sister bond. And, I know we have settled our hatred before but I still feel like I should again.”
” I am so sorry for all those years that I wasn’t there for you. I humiliated your life, I made Elizabeth and the others hate you, thinking I was doing the right thing. But you know what? I was only making a fool of myself. I thought I knew what love meant, I was wrong too. After you got married to Arthur, I understood fate, I found out that I wasn’t ready for love even if I was destined to be with him. But seeing the love you two shared, I have learnt a lot from it. Thank you, Rena for not hating me even when I did to you.”
Renata could feel the tears rolling out of her eyes and staining her cheek.
It wasn’t just sounding as an apology but much of a goodbye.
“Why are you saying all this?” She asked.
Honoria forced herself to smile but ended up crying in Renata’s embrace.
“What is it, sister. I have forgiven you a long time ago. I bear no grudges, I swear.”
” I still feel like I have to, at least before leaving.” She said, hating herself for saying the words so soon.
Renata broke the hug, staring into her w-t green eyes. “Did you just say…leaving?” She asked, stressing the last word.
Honoria nodded. “Yes, to America.”
“Why? What happened? Is there anything wrong I need to know?! ” She asked, hoping to collapse if something actually was wrong.
” No. No, of course not. ” Honoria assured her. “It’s a good news.” She forced herself to smile.
Renata calmed down at those last few words. ” What is this good news?”
She hesitated, “I am engaged.” This time she let out a real smile, staring deep into Renata’s w-t eyes.
Renata’s eyes wore different emotions. One which Honoria finds difficult to understand.
Filled with uncertainty if she should either scre-m, yell or rather bury herself in Honoria’s arms.
But one thing was actually clear, her happiness was beyond limit for any of those.
Yet, she ended up in Honoria’s embrace, k-ssing her cheeks like a child would do to his mother.
“Who is this lucky man?” Renata asked, curious.
“Lord Euchred Winston, king of Nugh.”
“Oh my God! ” Renata exclaimed happily. “How did it happen?”
“It’s a long story but, it all started two months ago… ”
~`*~`*~`*
Yes, two months ago. You can now go ahead making a picture of how it happened two months ago. 😝😝😝
Well, let’s all get ready for the “PUSH!!!” adventure. Haha 😂🤣😂
