“Sharon??” Mansi called in surprise as she walked closer to her.

“Hey, honey. Finally, you returned!” Princess Sharon squealed happily as she dropped the brush she was holding. “I’ve been waiting for so long for you”.

“Hold on, what’re you doing here? I mean…how did you get here?” Mansi scoffed.

“Urgh? Can’t I pay a visit to my friend anymore?” Sharon rolled her eyes and Mansi strolled to the table.

“Anyway, welcome”. She mumbled as she arranged the books on the table.

“So, how have you been, Mansi? How’s Lord Xander?” Sharon asked and Mansi shut her a suspicious stare.

“Since when did you start asking after Lord Xander, Sharon? Anyway, he’s in his chambers – incase you want to see him” Mansi replied sarcastically.

“Oh!! Seriously Mansi. I’d really love it if you could take me to his room”.

“Whaat?? Have you gone nuts?? I hardly know Xander and I’m not even sure we’ve ever spoken to each other. So, how do you expect me to just take you to him?” Mansi scoffed and Sharon just rolled her eyes with a *fine*

“Anyway, how’s his newly weded wife? I heard the marriage had taken place yesterday?” She asked

“Well, yes. You heard correctly”.

“And how was it? How’s the wife?”.

“Stop asking me silly questions, Sharon. I don’t know anything about the wife, okay? You should know me by now that I love minding my business”.

“Oh, boring. Anyway, are you aware Master Xander would’ve gotten married to me?” She asked and Mansi turned to look at her, seeming surprised.

“Well, yes. You know, when the letter was taken to Kaylan’s father, he’d rejected it and said he wasn’t giving his daughters out to Xander. So, the letter got to my father next, but before my father could reply, Kaylan’s father had already changed his mind and said he was ready to give Kaylan out. So, you see? I was so close to being the lucky one”. She explained wistfully, feeling a little hurt.

“Wow” Mansi just mouthed and turned back to the table and Sharon felt bittered that she wasn’t saying anything to help. What a friend indeed

Anyway, with or without Mansi’s help, she was still going to get what she wants.

She had been so close to being Xander’s wife before Kaylan ruined it. And she was going to make sure she ended up ruining the marriage as well.

***************

“Seriously Kaylan, I think this is a bad idea” Jaden said as they stood in front of the tavern.

“And what exactly could be wrong with this, Jaden? Its just for fun and isn’t like we’ll be killing anyone”. Kaylan rolled her eyes and tried going further, but Jaden pulled her back..
“But thats a place mainly for men and I don’t think someone like you should be found on it. Besides, we don’t even have any money on us. Come on, Kay. Let’s just go”. She grumbled.

They’d been taking a walk round the community when they came across th tanvern which happens to prick Kaylan’s interest.

“Nobody knows me as the Master’s wife. So, let’s go” she rolled her eyes and proceeded to the tanvern and this time around, Jaden couldn’t stop her.
So, she followed.
*
The tanvern wasn’t as crowdy and noisy as Kaylan had expected and she concluded it was due to the fact that it was morning.

She saw about 3 ladies cleaning some tables and serving drinks and the rest of the people that filled the place were male. Hmph.

“Wow! A lady’s here for a drink” a man closeby suddenly grinned and Kaylan shut him a deadly stare.

She looked around and found the only table that was crowded as it had about 5 men on it, with two playing a game.

“It’s chess!” Kaylan whispered to Jaden, her eyes beaming.
Oh! Chess was her favorite game.

They moved closer to the table and joined the rest of the men standing to watch the game.
Some coins were placed beside them which meant they’d actually set a bet.

“Oh!! He’s trapped, man!!” One of the watchers exclaimed and the others laughed.

They were so engrosser’s in the game and couldn’t even notice the two ladies that’d joined them.

Kaylan watched with ecstasy as the two men played the games perfectly, each seeming to be a pro. But, tch! She was sure she could do better than them.

“This is so interesting” Jaden giggled and nudged Kaylan.

Minutes later…the game was over with the fat man emerging the winner and the watchers cheered him as he loaded the coins into his pocket.

“Woww’ Kaylan looked at Jaden and whisper.
That was money!!

“And who wants to go next?” The fat man asked with his hands spread apart, sounding so bold.

“Well, let me give it a try” another man replied and took the seat on the other side of the table.

He brought out his coins, same with the other man and the game began.

It was tough and interesting, but after a long while, the fat man won again.

“Woah!! You’re the best at this Pablo” the men cheered at him and Kaylan could notice how his head swelled.

The loser stood up with a grumpy look, probably feeling angry that he had lost such amount of money.

“And who else wants to take the seat?” The fat man asked again and before someone else would reply, Kaylan did.

“I will”.

All eyes turned towards her direction.

“What? A lady in our midst?” She could hear them mumbling.

“Kaylan! What’re you doing??” Jaden said huskily, but Kaylan ignored her.
The money was damn too tempting.

The man turned to look at her, actually surprised.

” A lady?” He laughed. “Okay, honey. Come on and let’s have some fun”.

And without hesitation, Kaylan hurried to the other side of the table and took the seat.

Episode 12

“Where’s your bet?” The fat man asked immediately and that was when it dawned on Kaylan that she was actually coinless.
Oh,damn? Why didn’t she think about this???

She looked at Jaden who was staring at her with an *I told you* look.
Then, she turned back to the man

“Um…. Let’s just go on with the game first. I’m sure I’ll win” she said and the man looked at her like she had actually gone mad.

“So, you want me to stake my money while you stake nothing? Are you stupid?” He chuckled.

“Hey, you have to trust me, okay? I’ll…”

“And what if you lose?” One of the watchers asked and she gave a thought to it.
Can she actually lose?

“Well, if I lose, feel free to beat me up” she shrugged.

Then, the fat man smirked and leaned closer

“If I lose, you’ll spend the night with me?” He leered at her, smiling in a way that his ugly detentions were revealed and Kaylan almost felt like punching his face.

“Yes, yes. I agree” she answered eagerly and glanced at Jaden.
In her mind, she’d already planned on escaping if at all he wins. But she was so definite she was going to win anyway.

The man – being contended with the agreement – brought out the coins and placed it on the aside of the table.
Afterall, she was only but a girl and he was so sure he was going to win.

“Let the game begin” he smirked and took the first move.
*
Everyone watched with keen interest, mainly concentrating on the moves the man was taking because they were so sure he was going to win.

But everything was happening the other way round as Kaylan tactically trapped most of his members until finally, she checkmated his King.

“Whaaat??? He’s trapped!” One of the watchers exclaimed, finding it amusing.

The fat man was already having a scrawl on his face and in a short while, the game came to an end with Kaylan being the winner.

“Woohoo!!” Jaden clapped excitedly and helped her gather the coins up.
The people around were stunned as they couldn’t understand how a strange lady was able to defeat someone like Pablo.

“I want a second round” Pablo gritted and poured more coins on the table.
It was obvious he was angry and felt disgraced.

“With all pleasure” Kaylan smild and also dropped her own share of the coins.
Then, the game began.
*
It was really tough, but in the end, Kaylan won again.

“That’s my girl?!” Jaden exclaimed happily and helped her with the coins.

The anger on Pablo’s face was already too broad and he looked really dangerous.

“Another round”‘ he growled and so it went until Kaylan won him for the 4th time.
.
“Sorry sir, but I think I’m tired of winning you. I need to go now” she grinned and stood up, feeling so achieved.

Pablo was already in sweats because she had just won everything from him – every single money he made for the day.

“You’re not going anywhere” he stood up and gripped Kaylan by the arm and immediately, she punched him hard on the nose and ran out of the tanvern with Jaden.

“Oh my God! That was so crazy, Kaylan! That was a huge risk! What the hell did you just do??” Jaden asked as they stood far from the tanvern and laughed heartily.

“I told you, Jaden. I’m the Queen of Chess. Anyway, how much coins do we have there?” She asked and Kaylan opened her clothes so they could check it.

“Ahh. It’s so many. We can’t even count them here. You did really great, Kaylan” Jaden said excitedly, making Kaylan blush.

“Yeah, you know, this is actually going to be a good business. Anyway, come on, let’s get you some clothes with the money”

“Whaaat?? Are you serious?? Oh!! You’re such a darling, Kay!”
She hugged her as they walked away.

***************

They didn’t just get clothes, but they had gotten some fruits, sweets and cakes as well and by the time they were done, everything was contained in a big bag which Jaden held.

“Urgh! This is so heavy, Kay!” Jaden grumbled, but Kaylan ignored her.

They walked excitedly to the Mansion, earning a free passage from the guards at the gate who gave them a surprised stare, tho. Probably surprised at the big bag they had with them.

“Come on Kaylan, just give me a helping hand please!” Jaden grouse from behind

“Just hold on, Jaden. We’re already there…”

They headed towards the room but on their way, they spotted Xander.

“Hah! Jaden, do you see him?” Kaylan gasped and pointed to Xander who was walking at a distance with some guard’s behind him.

“That man is so unbelievabe! He doesn’t even act like he’s married”.

“And do you act like you’re married?” Jaden scoffed, earning a glare from her.

But thinking of it, he didn’t even call her for consummation like she had expected. Well, thank Goodness he was making use of his senses.

“Where do you think he’s going?” Shr asked, still staring at the direction he has taken.
He was already out of sight.

“Maybe… he’s going to train? Or… who knows if he’s seeing another woman? Or…”

“God! You’re unbelievable, Kaylan. Can we Just get going??” Jaden rolled her eyes, but Jaden didn’t move.

“Hold on, I think I have an idea. Why don’t we follow him and know where he’s headed?” Shs asked with her silly smile.

“Whaat?? There’s no need for…”

“Fine! You can go ahead, then. I’ll catch up with you later” she rolled her eyes and started walking away.

“Goodness! Kaylan!” Jaden called and hurried after her.
*
*
Kaylan just wanted to see Xander – know what he was doing or anything at all.
But she really couldn’t believe this man was her husband yet, they barely see or knew each other.

They took the corner he had taken and spotted him going into a room which had some guards stationed at the door.

“And I guess this is the end of the road for both of us” Jaden sighed as they hid behind a wall.

Kaylan watched carefully, trying to see if there was a way she could get in without being seen. Then, an idea popped into her head.

“Come on!” She whispered to Jaden and ran to the other building so she could turn around. Jaden had to follow sheepishly.
*
“Are you really going to climb that?? What if he sees you??” Jaden asked worriedly as they stood behind the room.
Kaylan had made a nasty decision of climbing up the walls to peep through the window.

“I’m only going to have a look, don’t worry about me” she answered stubbornly and started climbing the walls.

Jaden was so worried and stood right beneath her – just incase she would want to fall.

Kaylan beamed as she crawled up the wall successfully and finally got to the window. Bit by bit, she lifted her head towards it and peeped into the room and there she found some people in the room

First, she saw a guard, then Xander who was standing in front of a man on his knees.

“Please My Lord! Have mercy! I’m deeply Sorry, please!” The man on his knees pleaded, placing his palms together.

Huh? What’s going on? Kaylan thought.

“You should’ve thought of the consequences before betraying me” Xander answered coldly and pulled out a sword
And without a glint of emotion in his eyes, Kaylan watched him slice the man through.

A thud.

A pause.

There was a pause in her heartbeat as she watched the scene and with dilated eyes, she didn’t realize when a scream escaped her lips.
