Kendra looked at them and knew that she got herself involved... again. She sighed and they looked at her.
"Don't look, don't ask, don't comment...just don't..." she said while massaging her temples.
They started laughing.
"You act like an old man. "said the woman.
Kendra nodded. " I feel old with you all. I should be playing and enjoying my life, but there are always people who drag me in the things, that I should not be bothered with." she looked at the two who looked like two innocent lambs.
The woman looked at them and laughed."Now I know why you enjoy being around this child."
Kendra felt tired. What's wrong being a child. It seems she should give them much to do.... a whole lot to do. She looked at them with "the smile" and they froze.
The Lord and Xara started pleading with her. "We just call you this time. Just this time. You can take anything you like. "
The woman looked at scared faces of the two most powerful people she knew (except herself), and then she looked at Kendra's crafty smile.
"Ohhh, it seems Kendra is scary when she has that expression on her face." taught the woman.
Kendra reduced her eyes into dangerous slits and with an enraged voice said:'' I really just want to be a child. I want to live my childhood as a child. I understand that two of you had your childhood in the war, I get it. But please...let me have mine.'' she sighed and looked at them pitifully.
That scared them even more.''Fine, fine. We won't call you even if there is an attack on the city...'' said Xara with depressed expression.
Kendra saw their expression and started laughing.''Well in case someone tries to attack the city, call me. I promise I will help if I can.''
They looked at each other and got happy like children. Kendra looked at the woman and they both shook their heads. Seriously childish.
Not long after that, the carriage stopped. The house that they saw could be compared to a small palace. This man seriously lived lavishly. The trees, the flowers, she saw the plants that seemed to be quite expensive. She saw something interesting in the backyard of the house and planned to check it out after they are done.
They went in and saw the fat man, his cousin and few other men kneeling on the hard floor while middleaged woman beat them with a stick.''I let you do however you wanted. You wanted mistresses I closed my eyes. I even adopted all your bastard children as my own and you still were not happy. What, you had children...children in the bas.e.m.e.nt for your damn fantasies. I hate you. I am so disgusted by you. My father took you in and we grew up together, I loved you so much, but all that is now left is pure hate. If I knew that you would commit such atrocities in this house I would have killed you with my own two hands.''
She threw the stick away and kneed on the floor with the hands pressed on her chest. Kendra knew from Isaa's story that she was a kind woman. It seems not only kind, foolish as well. She turned around and looked at the Lord.''Your Lordship, I know everyone has to be investigated. Could you provide her a doctor or healer, as it seems she has a heart problem? She might be of help, or not. But I really hope you could leave her with her inheritance if it's proven that she has nothing to do with this man's actions.''
He nodded and instructed two female soldiers, to take her away and heal her. When she passed him he stopped her.:''I hope you will cooperate with us. If everything goes well you can come back and live in this house with your father's inheritance.''
She gratefully smiled at him and bowed politely.''Thank you, your lordship. Can I get a divorce from this man please. And the children that those women had should be transferred to their names. I have no wish to have them on my name. Anyway, none of those children ever lived with me.'' she sighed and went away.
''I promise you, that the wish will be granted.'' said the Lord and saw the hateful gaze the fat man gave his still wife.
He walked there and looked at him.''Even if she didn't ask me I would have done that. Why should such a good woman live with such jerk as you are.''
The fat noble looked at him maliciously and smiled.''Do you think the King can save you? Hahahaha. She can't even save herself. Soon she will be taken care off. She will die a horrible death and you can't stop it. Hahahhaha.'' he laughed like lunatic.
Kendra looked at the woman and saw her smiling. She stepped forward and smiled innocently at the man.''Uncle, uncle. Do you remember me? Let me introduce myself. I am called Mare Night, but for friends, I am just Mare. Uncle Mare doesn't like you talking about the King bad. The King is good. Fight good, Is strong, Is powerful, Mare thinks the King can't die. Impossible.''She looked at him questioningly and spoke with sweet childish voice.
The Lord and Xara sucked in the cold air and the woman looked at them stunned. Xara winked at her and said:'' When she is like this, someone going to lose a bunch of money or get hurt.''
The woman took care to remember everything. Later if she gets in an argument with this little devil...she shook even by thinking about it.
The fat man looked at the big innocent eyes and got sucked in. He said with a soft voice.''The uncle will treat you well later on. You know the King is indeed strong, dual power but if someone put poison into her food she won't be able to handle it.''Kendra shook her head.
''Impossible,impossible uncle. Powerhouse can't get sick or poisoned. Didn't you know that?'' she said with even sweer voice and looked at him smilingly.
''It is possible if it not poison from the plant than from dark energy. She is being poisoned bit by bit since years. Soon she will change and turn into an evil person then her cousin will become the new King and the new ruler will give me more power. I'm his treasurer after all.''Kendra looked pleasantly surprised and came near him.
''I am scared to offend him. So is it possible to know his name?'' But at that moment his cousin hit his head and he snapped out of it.
''Why are you hitting me?'' he yelled.
''You are spilling all the beans!!!'' his cousin yelled back while becoming white from fright.
He looked at Kendra then at everyone else and got red from anger.''Little child, Mare isn't it? I will remember you.'' he said with a slimy smile.
Kendra got close to him and slapped him. Everyone got stunned. They even got more stunned after he spits 3-4 teeth.'' Me slapping you is an honor. The King, you planned to kill the King and start now internal war? Is not enough 20 years of war. The people... the country and every other creature in this country suffered, but you want it again? I want to live my childhood in peace, but you won't let me. By the way, my name is Mare...NaightMare. Later I will ask the Lord and Xara to take care good of you like they took good about other peopel like you.''
She stared at him and taught should she just tear him with her own hands. She is now strong enough, but at that moment two hands hugged her. A melodious voice sounded near her head.
''Stop it. Stay a child. We fought that you and your generation can grow up in peace and not in blood. Let us do it. I think we should go down and see what the Lord found.'' she grabbed her her hand and took her away from sleazy eyes of that man. She turned around and made an order.''Cut his eyes out...wait... no...Cut his...'' than she looked at Kendra and made eye contact with the Lord.''Take care of him...good.''
He nodded and whispered to one of his man the order, and came after them. On his and Xara's face stood furious expression. While they walked down the stairs into the bas.e.m.e.nt, screams could be heard from upstairs...
