Chapter 227: (227): Alovena (1)

The caravan of Saya Bajik arrived at the boundary of Alovena. It was dark and they had to camp. Ryan suggested setting the tents near the limestone where the possibility of imps present was shorter.

"Men will guard the tents."

Hashin ordered and a group of men jumped on the rough rocks that were covered under snow.

The valets grounded the tents and after setting the fire began to cook for their lady and the guards.

Ryan took Saya's belongings into her tent and her maidens strode out as her husband walked across. He could read that they didn't like him.

"Keep yourself warm!" He dropped the tent's veil, going to her, he pushed the blanket over her.

"We wasted much time in camping."

Saya was concerned about the border guards who were on the walls.

"I know, but taking hard on our men will spoil their body. They can't fight with tired bodies."

Ryan stood in front of her, kneeling! He grabbed her hand, the cold made her hands numb, he kissed her knuckles.

"Here is dangerous, I can feel death in the air."

"Being on move is more dangerous if the menace is close. Besides, the imps are sensitive on limestone."

She took her hands off his and caressed his dried blushed cheeks.

"I can't stop thinking about Rohan."

Ryan's thumb landed on her lips.

"It is a lie if I say that I'm not concerned but you have left him in good hands. Bringing him here was ridiculous."

He moved ahead and kissed her. Her warm breath diminished the flooding cold under his skin.

Pulling back, Ryan sat beside her on the warm mattress.

"Why did your father separate Bead from Alovena? He should have known that Velator would seize to have your land under control?"

"My uncle was ruthless and wanted to solve everything with swords and guns while my father was a man of knowledge. They couldn't settle with each other easily. It took ten years until we could convince the global parliament to let us be an independent land but, soon! Velator seized us."

"They said your father had killed a councilman."

"We found his body in our border. We didn't kill him. The wound on his body wasn't made by our swords."

She looked at Ryan, would he believe?

"I believe that princess Livia caused it."

As she mentioned that, a surge of heat made his heartache. His father used to say that Livia caused that bloody war.

"Do you believe me?"

She asked 

Ryan was ashamed, taking his eyes off her nodded, "I do. I am believing everything you say."

"Would he deal with us?" He meant her cousin.

She bit her lower lip, it was time to confess to Ryan.

"He had sent us a notice before my father's death but we held out because of my father's disease." She paused, gulped as it lumped her throat out of regret. Now, he would have thought that her people deceived him.

"Then?"

Ryan asked, his eyes running dimly.

She blinked and cleared her throat, "we were heading to help them even if you weren't coming. But Hira told me it is time to let our land get a stable position as my father is dead. People could not accept a woman as their leader and we still have hope to be independent."

Ryan couldn't deny that he felt bad but her intention was not bad since ever it started.

Instead of saying a word as he saw her embarrassed face, grabbed her arm, made her turn, and began to kiss her. She was his wife now, sworn to be loyal and she had to be. He trusted her and there was no way back. He let his rage melt in his emotions for her.

She clenched his shirt and he released her lips, yet he was too close to sense her warm breath on his skin.

"I guessed that, and I'm a bit upset but from now on don't hide anything from me, promise?"

She nodded, her hair caressing his forehead.

"I promise."

Ryan stood up, his heart was heavy! Despite guessing the matter that Alovena sought help from Bead yet he couldn't simply accept that the land was too desperate to abuse their leader, forced her into a marriage. It was just remarking to him that she was forced to be with him, he despised this irritating issue.

He moved out and puffed in the air, steam clouded out and the chill just cooled down his lips that were yet throbbing. It was a silence that was severing his nerves. This road should not be this, even an animal was not crooning nor was wailing.

Saya pouted, assuming to be guilty, she clearly saw how unhappy and disgruntled he became but controlled it with him, let it be dug down.

"I am all a mess! Even my people can't accept me, Ryan. It doesn't matter how masterfully I swing a sword."

She murmured to herself, squeezing the blanket.

Ryan went to a rock and climbed up, tightening the coat of bear around his neck, he sat there, embracing his sword and bow. He stood there just looking into the dark and for the first time feeling lonely. His mother brought many disasters that drooped him too.

After a long while, he sensed the scent of the spiked lamb grilling above the fire and the scent of stew all were playing with his nerves and stomach.

"Aren't you starving?"

The accent could announce who he was, Hashin sat beside him with bowls in his hands.

"I have no relish, you can wear down my share."

There was a knot in his belly after hearing what Saya said. He did want to fight her as her aura was innocent and seemed shameless for hiding it, and felt sinful for crafting Ryan.

"Hm, I'm not a pig! Take it, we might want to fight to prove you!"

Ryan narrowed his eyebrows, what was he indicating, fighting to prove him. Evidently, an unbearable custom was on the way.

Ryan grabbed the bowl but didn't ask any questions about it.

"Don't you want to know about it?"

Ryan shrugged.

Hashin found him weaving a grim face and kept eating in silence. But he would be surprised.

Putting the bowls into each other, he said, "her uncle will invite you to fight with one of his powerful men to prove that you deserve to be her husband."

Ryan's eyes flashed a light, "did they the same with Jonas?" He had forgotten big her clan was.

"No, he was different because at that time her father was alive and he chose Jonas as her husband and she didn't refuse."

Ryan was flustered, so she hadn't gotten married to the man she loved and it all came after marriage. 

"Well, I'm not going to run away, if you mean it."

It was all Ryan said.. Apparently, It could give him the strength that he had gained his woman with too much effort and would fight to keep her for himself.
