Rise of a Queen

verlooking your disrespect and keeping away from killing you. Don misuse your grace. ” She said.

Dherek nodded his head vigorously. Cyan placed her sword back on the table and gave him an handkerchief to clean the blood that was seeping out from a small cut that her sword made on his neck. He collected it, thanking her.

Cyan sighed. Since day one, Dherek has been with her. Although he can be frustrating and annoying at times, he has been a good

comrade and she must also not forget how his father had helped her when he was alive.

It was all because of these that she is keeping off from killing him but that does not mean she will tolerate disrespect from him.

Indeed she was closer with him than any other person but still, he needs to know his boundaries. She would not be closer with him than necessary. Definitely not making the same mistake she made in the past again.

”What is it that you want? ” She asked sitting down back. Dherek also takes his seat, more cautiously.

He clears his throat, ”Hmm hmm, so-uhmm- you
e getting married? I thought you decided to never get married again after what happened then. Its surprising how people change their mind easily. Anyways, congratulations, General Cyan. Im so happy for you. ” He finished, squealing like a girl while making to hug her.

Cyan immediately pushed him away, ”Get away, you. ” Dherek goes back to his seat, pouting. ”Are you crazy? Who said Im getting married? ” She asked him angrily.

”Queen Holly told me. Did you plan on not telling me? How could you? Despite everything weve been through, you decided to keep this away from your best friend? Why? Why? Cyan, how… ”

”You call my name with respect. I don want to ever hear Cyan from you. And you are not my best friend. I do not have a best friend. ” Cyan angrily told him.

”I am not getting married. Even though I don have to explain myself, we all know that you have a big mouth. ” Truly Dherek has a big mouth but at least he knows when not to say some certain things.

”But, Queen Holly told me you were getting married. ” Dherek whined.

”Who am I getting married to anyways? ”

”General Livius. She told me you will marry General Livius from Yoniez. ” Dherek said, a little confused from the way Cyan was talking.

”Queen Holly always gets the weirdest ideas. What the heck is always going through her mind. ” Cyan said quite expecting the fact that she said that.

”So, you
e getting married to General Livius? ”

”Are you dumb to not have gotten that already? ” She asked, tired from all the questions that he is asking.

”Then why did she say you both are getting married? ”

”He came today. ”

”Why? ” He asked. Cyan looked at him in a are you really asking me that? way.

”Oh, he came for your help? ” Dherek said, now getting the reason he came.

Cyan did not even bother answering him as she turned her attention back to the book that has been in her hands since. ”

”Are you or are you not helping them? ” He asked her.

”Maybe. Maybe not. ” She said with her eyes still on her book.

”I think this will be the perfect time to carry out your plans. ” He said with all seriousness.

Cyan raised her head up from the book she was reading although not looking at Dherek but instead looking forward.

”Don you think that this is the right time to take vengeance on those that inflicted pain on you? ” He said. He sighed and then stood up, walked up to her and then patted her shoulder. Cyan glared at him over her shoulder making him to take his away real quick.

”Uhmm, I will be leaving now. Think about it General Cyan. ” He said and gave a light bow before walking out of her room.

Cyan looked at him till he left the room. She gave out a deep sigh.
