Chapter-26: Because you seek for me

 : Grand Marshal! Where are you going! 
She paused on the gate of "Amenakh" where she is about to enter by the sudden shout from behind! 


I... actually knew deep down that he will come regardless his all circumstantial odds. 
Yet, I'm surprised!  
As she turned back and realised he has come across from a very distant place within a very short notice. Probably as soon as he got the news from moire! Even the cloth he's wearing is too shinny to suit as formal (which is almost rusty and dirty for probably long and reckless ride) with no armour! 
: "Geenral Tseraf! you.. came!" Her voice barely hide her relief.
: Of course! Is everything alright, M'lady? He bowed and smiled. "And How have you been?" 
The Grand Marshal sighed a breath of relief. Tried to keep it unnoticed but as sharp as General Tseraf's eyes, it couldn’t go unnoticed though he would act as if he didn’t notice a thing! 
: I am great. How are you? 
: "I am absolutely fine" Said General Tseraf with his usual delightful smile.
: I.. uhh I am extremely sorry that I had to drag you here when you were on vacation! But I... I couldn’t manage anyone! So I had to..." 
 : It's fine M'lady! It’s not like I was doing anything important!" The General assured her. 
The Grand Marshal looked at him. 

He is still panting.
And Even his bright featured skin looked so burned down.
The drop of sweat on his face here and there was like a diamond, glittering under the sun! 

For a moment, she felt a pang of guilt inside her. But that's just for a second. 
: "So? What happened!" He asked. 
: Let's go to my Study Hall first, shall we? 
He sat on the other side of her table! She Gave him water and some fruits. 
: It is not necessary, M'lady!  
: Eat up. You will be in need of that! And explaining the update will take some time anyway. 
He was really hungry because of the long journey, so he started to eat while the Marshal started to explain the last updates she got from the Generals. Finally after she finished explaining Tseraf said- 
: "Okay then I am entering "Amenakh" if there isn’t anything!"
She seems to hesitate for a moment! Then said,
: "Okay! And I truly appreciate that you came!"  
: "Please don’t embarrass me M'lady." He laughed. "Alright then! I am leaving for Amenakh. Don’t worry I'll handle"
But still... 
Still she doesn’t understand why... why is he so arrogant, aggressive yet so much of a convenience for her in terms of circumstances like this! 
Why he would ruin his complacency and rushed here when he was supposed to resent The Grand Marshal!  
For the way he appears, if he were to deny to rush over or give her some excuses, it would be very reasonable and understandable.
: "Why General Tseraf! Why did you come?" Before I know she realized The Grand Marshal asked him.
He had almost reached the door when he heard her saying that. 
He paused but didn’t turn right away. 
He took a deep breath and slowly turned, looking directly into her eyes. 
Then he smiled!
Again! That damn smile of him.  
As if he is in tremendous pain! The agony of something is no naked in his eyes...and in times like this he cares less to suppress rather eager to express! 
: "Why...you say M'lady! Well... Because you seek for me!"
She didn’t say a word.
He was gone as soon as he answered. 
She felt bemused, a bit afflicted but mostly... happy maybe!? 
She sighed and recumbent in her chair staring at the ceiling.
She didn’t realize she was smiling!

Prologue: Conspiracy in Raven Hall

In one quite, peaceful evening, The Grand Marshal  was rejoicing her time in her study hall.  The door of the study hall was slightly open; open enough to have a sneaky glimpse into the inside of the hall. . General Tseraf of Serijah was passing by. He paused one moment by the door and peeked through the entrance. With the shimmering light of the glowing lanterns, he can discern that even though the Grand Marshal is staring at the parchment in her hands, isn't really reading anything at all. Tseraf chuckled thinking,  "heeeh! Even though she is adroit and expressionless when overseeing one the most dangerous part of the Kingdom, I assume occasionally she can be relaxed enough to let her guard down, hmm!" And within those couple of seconds, suddenly he felt that something is off... in her expression.  Something... alarming!  "What is it that I missing!  Regret? Agony? Anger? "  General Tseraf frowned  pondering for a moment . . General Tseraf made...

Chapter- 23: HER Name

"My love! aren’t you gonna stay here for some couple of days more!" said a very womanly voice with vinous sweetness!  General Tseraf smiled, reclining over the pile of pillows under his back. A lazy, relaxing day for him which is very unusual.  The Grand Marshal has almost forcibly sent him to vacation as he was almost forgetting that there is something called personal life!  His finger gently stroking the woman beside him.Her soft glowing brownish skin is glowing with the dim light piercing through the heavy curtains. General Tseraf replied with the same lazy smile,  : "Yes my dear, that’s what I am planning. And you will be happy to hear that I still have some more days left for fun!"  : "Then why do you look so gloomy? Aren’t you enjoying my company!" said the woman with a voice pretending to be hurt.  : " Yes! Of course! How can I not enjoy such the company of such an enchanting lady!" he tilted her chin and put a gentle kiss on her lips. The...

The portrait of a lady in fire and cold

  If you say my life is blend, it will not be presumed entirely wrong; however, not quite right either. If I must say, I have only started to live life when I was 25 years old, graduated, a fresh intern. Before that it's all hazy and blurry, not in a sense that I do not remember anything, but because I remember almost every pros of a bumping-stranger, but nowhere amidst that, I could find myself, as you are in your lucid dreams, a observer only. So if I am referring to a life or anything relevant to life, it's always from the age of 25. Hence, these 5 years of mine have been the time I lived. If I am to say, I lived as I pleased, that will not be incorrect. Of course, I had to be burdened with the responsibilities, criticism, denial and in terms of acquisition of an elderly child who belonged to any middle-class family; regardless, I was capable of living a life I have desired since my sense of life itself. With all these sacrifices, compromises I have chose to make with my own...
