Yes, it was almost like a whole new world, even for Christian.
Christian disappeared with Lavender on the fourth day, only to be found in another new dwelling, further away from everyone else.
He had gone and made a whole new pce a bit further away and whenever they joined for dinner he wouldn’t leave her side. It was indeed times like this where you could see his utter devotion…That the man was very capable of love…
Matilda hadn’t seen this side of the man, but it wasn’t the first time for Matthew and Kin. They knew how much that man loved that woman…
They had gotten used to not coming first with their family member a while ago.
Nonetheless, Christian had moved her to a more desirable pce, simply because he had felt like she had not been safe enough in the st one.
There were just too many now to keep an eye on them all the time! And Matilda could only feel it’ll get worse when they were all there and having a meal…Together! At the moment Matilda had a reason to just get them to eat on their own but ter, it would all make sense if they were able to converse…What kind of mess will come!?
The responsibilities had to be all broken up, so that it was hopefully easier to deal with…The guards were under An and Katherine’s eyes now. The emperors were under Matilda and Matthew’s eyes and so the ministers were being looked after by Kin and Austin…Madeline was officially supposed to as well, but she scampered off for the time being and stayed with Lavender. It seemed that the trip back to Golden Haven had been quite undesirable for her…
It wasn’t anyone’s fault that Madeline was not in spirits, it was just how she was dealing with being rejected…
Nonetheless, Austin only stepped in simply because there just wasn’t anyone else! Workers from the haven were all busy with meals, with cleaning and the others were already watching someone else!
***
The sixth day became the st day of the travel to Golden Haven as everyone else arrived, even if they were teleported.
Matilda did not have to teleport the Green Haven Emperor after all, but he was indeed the st to arrive.
Before the Green Haven Emperor was to arrive though, a talk to An had to be done in private, to tell him to not take action!
Reading minds did come in handy, as she knew that An had all intention to kill that man!
It was understandable really, and well even Matilda sorta wished to let him do whatever he wanted, but this was an important event, and a killing of an emperor couldn’t happen. It’d take away the meaning of the event!
This was important and will probably be written about, so when it gets written it can’t hold the meeting and the ‘oh, by the way an emperor was killed in the making of the Golden Haven Bridge!’.
An hadn’t liked it at all! Even when Matilda talked to him, staring at him after expressing her reasoning, An was still so keen that she had no idea on what to do to stop him!
Well, there was a simple weakness to this and that was…Katherine…
Matilda took Katherine aside and hid, even though An had such keen eyes that they might as well be naked and not hiding at all!
Oh, that man! How in the world did he become such a…
“Tilda?” Katherine’s voice made Matilda look at her.
“Aye! You…You have to help me!” Matilda begged.
“What’s wrong?” She asked…
Does she not have a clue, really!?
“An is determined to kill the Green Haven Emperor, and it simply cannot happen! You have to help me stop him or…”
Or what!? Was I really going to threaten her! She’s my twin sister! I always hated sister’s that were nasty to each other, well actually, just siblings, it didn’t have to be male or female! So…I don’t want to threaten her!
Katherine frowned and looked away.
The thoughts of feeling betrayed made Matilda stop and she moved her neck around and tried to rex…Calm down…
“I’m sorry. I tried to tell him how important this event will be but…He’s not listening to me!”
It seems Katherine already knew though, which didn’t help at all! Katherine didn’t have the guts to go against her sister to do it herself, but she had put all her hopes upon An…
Matilda frowned too, “I see…”
It was Katherine’s turn then to feel her own betrayal. “I’m…”
Bringing her in for a hug, Matilda sighed…Katherine really turned into such a girl.
Silence overcame the twins, in a strange way. They rarely cuddled, they both weren’t very good at being intimate…Well, except maybe in bed with their respected lover…
Which reminded Matilda of something…
Katherine started to feel strange, as Matilda did not pull back from her and she looked over Matilda’s shoulder to An.
An and Katherine stared at one another, perhaps saying many things or perhaps not saying anything at all.
God knows how those two were able to stare at each other for so long and not feel weird about it!
Katherine was surprised to Matilda’s sudden change, to no longer cuddling her anymore.
Matilda pulled back but then held her tongue…
No, she really didn’t want to threaten her, not with anything…
Looking at Katherine, Matilda smiled and kissed her on the cheek, “Don’t worry, I never want to threaten you. You were just a st resort…”
Katherine gnced at a few pces in a small amount of time, including at Matilda, again, she wasn’t too sure on what to say to that.
Letting out a small ugh, Matilda shook her head and stepped away from her, “Very well, of you go.”
It seems she’s going to need a countermeasure…
Ultimately there were about three things, that she thought of, that she could do.
One was to let it all happen and fill in the gap, which would bring Felix here as he would be the next emperor. Two was the just teleport An away for the whole time, which may help with the meeting but…That would also mean Katherine would have to go too and that would mean two less people to help her…
There was a third but by the time she thought of those two things it was still too te…The Green Haven Emperor was right at the door, waiting to come into the Haven…
I really should have dealt with this earlier…
This suddenly reminded her of school…She was always one that did the assignment the day before it was due, even if she had a couple of weeks to prepare for it…
I guess some things never change!
There was an obvious difference in the air upon the Green Haven Emperor’s entrance.
Matilda felt so anxious, due to not only her own anxiety, but the others around her as well.
Without having told anyone really upon who had killed her or Katherine, it was like nearly all of them knew anyway!
Maybe she should have just brought them all together and talked to them all!
Looking over at Matthew, who didn’t look back at her, she could only breath heavily in almost already knowing that pn b might have to come into py!
“Welcome to Golden Haven, I am your host, Matilda, and I will show you to where you will be staying.”
Matilda waited, just like everyone else, for the Green Haven Emperor to come down from his carriage and with bated breath she watched as he had no idea upon the murder upon his head…
“Good evening, This King has arrived!”
Indeed, we all know…If I had a dog, he’d know too…Why am I thinking of dogs?
“Please follow after me.” Matilda had waited for Matthew to let her know how many ministers he had but he had not looked at her. There was no nod and no shake of the head on his part and so Matilda tried to count herself.
“Matthew! You are here!” The Green Haven Emperor stated, stopping their walking after Matilda and brought it to a standstill.
Matilda was already ready to stop, knowing that things were already shaky before the Green Haven Emperor even came here.
Matthew only wanted to spout bad things, so he stayed quiet. As it was, he could hardly stop himself from ripping the old man apart!
“You have my vote, my son! This King will stand behind you.” The Green Haven Emperor now stood before him and went to pat him on the shoulder, only for Matthew to step back and say, “Don’t touch me!”
It was a shock!
The Green Haven Emperor took his hand back and swallowed.
Oh, what everyone was thinking right now!
Matthew was still holding himself back, An was already being held tightly by Katherine and even…
“I have words to speak with you!” The Blue Haven Emperor stated, walking himself into this mess!
The Green Haven Emperor’s thoughts of Matthew knowing about what he had done to his beloved stopped at those words being spat out.
And another person giving him such rude behavior, made the Green Haven Emperor frown, “Is this how this King is going to be treated upon being here? This King shouldn’t have come!”
Matilda took a few steps forwards and held back the Blue Haven Emperor, “It is of great importance that the Green Haven Emperor be a part of such a…”
“I want you to step down and bring your heir! I will not converse with this…This criminal!” The Blue Haven spat out, looking directly at him in disgust.
Wow, you’re going all out aren’t you, old man!
“This King does not have any idea on what you are talking about! Since it has come to this, this king will leave directly!”
“You know full well what you did! Begone and have it be known that Blue Haven will not do any dealings with Green Haven while this man is sitting on the throne!”
More shock filled the area, and Matilda couldn’t believe how much this had escated!
The Green Haven Emperor frowned deeply, showing his age, and shook his head, “This is preposterous! To be treated as such when this King is supposedly a guest! This King will leave and let it be known that Green Haven will no longer be a part of this meeting, and they too have nothing to do with Blue Haven in return!”
In a split second the Green Haven Emperor was taken by the neck and Matilda went to step forward, only to be stopped herself by the Blue Haven Emperor.
“Admit it! You killed Band Two! You killed Sahara, then you killed Band Two!”
Matthew did not help at all as he saw An doing exactly what he wished that he could do! Not only that but what he felt all this time, since his beloved’s return, it was all…It had to be true…
With An being like this…It just had to be true!
“Stop it! If you don’t stop now, I will take all of the spiritual essence from all of you!” Matilda stated, quite loudly!
Finally, she had all the attention!
…All of it…
Including that of the Green Haven Emperor…
