117 Chapter 11The dawn was cloudy and cold, the sun which usually rises up to wake the good folks of Blackmount, today was absent. It was replaced by a heavy fog, few cold drops of rain and one may think winter was upon them while it had just recently passed and gave way for Autumn to take over.

Leoric pulled up his furs over his head and continued with his much needed nap, Rush was already awake and she was in the main hall giving orders to her servants and slaves. “Bring in tea for your master, and breads and pies, don’t forget the wine” and the slaves went on to prepare the table before Leoric wakes up.

Rush wore a soft and slippery scarf which displayed her tits and her ass, she was slim with a bit of meat in her behind and it was wide clear last night Leoric savored that ass to his satisfaction. She was also satisfied; it had been so long since she laid with a man.

One may think because she owned a brothel, then she was getting laid every night but it was the complete opposite. Rush trained girls on all ways to satisfy a man and enrich her pockets, but she never did it herself no matter how much someone was willing to pay. Not even Gandalf succeeded to get inside her thighs, she always told him “I want the other version of you, not you” meaning she wanted Aryan.

This obsession she had with Lady Aryan started the day the Squires sacked Raven after they killed Lord Boross. Lady Aryan had come to fetch her twin brother and bring him home, she found him with two whores inside Rush’s brothel. Rush and Aryan had their first meeting this day and Rush was so smitten by her.

Perhaps it was Aryan’s brown leather shirt and wool trouser with a touch of a lion brooch attached to her golden cloak which turned Rush on. Or maybe it was the way Aryan manhandled her brother by carrying him over her shoulder and take him back to the palace, there was something about Aryan’s cockiness which smitten a lot of ladies, not only Rush.

However, since then Aryan showed no interest on Rush and that’s because she was nothing to her other than a courtesan and a brothel owner. No matter how much Rush tried to persuade Aryan into her traps, she never succeeded. Most of the times she showed up in the palace of Raven, Aryan was always accompanied with Olivia.

It seemed Olivia never left Aryan’s side, she wanted to always be there but who can blame her, even Rush herself if she were given a chance she wouldn’t have left Aryan’s side. She would serve her and be loyal to her till the end, but unluckily for her she wasn’t who Aryan wanted and for that she hated Olivia.

Leoric had been awake ten minutes a go and his eyes never left Rush who seemed so lost looking outside the window at the heavy cloud which engulfed the Blackmount air that morning. “Do you miss home already?’ asked Leoric.

Ashamed to be caught in that situation, Rush blushed shyly and climbed on top of the bed. She kissed Leoric deep and then laid herself on his chest softly. “Which home?” she asked.

“Whatever place you feel safe, that’s home”

“I don’t feel safe anywhere, in Prophis I’m a courtesan who can’t be with someone I want. In here, I feel so lost compared to even when I’m in Prophis”

Leoric started to interrogate Rush “Then why are you here?” he asked her.

“I came under orders”

“Hmm, from the Squires?” Leoric was already well informed, Rush was shocked but that’s only made Leoric smile. “I noticed the brooch in your cloak last night, it has a lion sigil. We all know only the Squires have lions”

Rush chuckled softly and placed her sweet and soft arm on Leoric’s left cheek. Leoric closed his eyes and felt the touch, then he opened them and smile. “You and I have risen above all odds, we should be proud of ourselves my love” he said.

“So I’ve heard, did you really have to burn all of them? Your estranged family?”

Leoric sighed softly “I didn’t do it; I was away when that misfortunate happened. I have been looking for a person who did that for three years now, I want to award him one thousand slaves and one hundred bags of gold” he finished with a chuckle and Rush kissed his forehead.

“Why are you in the capital Rush?”

“I was sent here as a spy, by the Hand of the King of Prophis”

“Lady Aryan the brave, I hear she slaughtered thirty thousand men who fought for Lucian Mithandir during the Battle of Stonedance. The ones who survived her wroth say she kills for sport, tough to beat and she can command five lions” Leoric was so excited now, he even sat on the bed ready to hear more about this magnificent creature.

“She never lost a lion in the battlefield, her brother on the other hand... lost all five of them”

“Argh, yes her brother... a spoiled cunt who whores himself all over Raven. I wonder why hasn’t someone poisoned him already, or took his head”

“You’ll be surprised to see the good folks of Prophis actually likes him, very much”

Leoric sighed, he climbed out of the bed naked, his fit butt on display – in that darkness of the early morning somehow he grew darker. He reached out for his silk robe and put it on, he walked outside the chambers and asked for a bowl of water.

He was gone for five minutes and when he came back, he had brush his teeth and washed his face, he was chewing mint leaves so as to freshen his breath. Then he climbed back on bed ready to talk more with Rush.

“How does she look like, this beast of a woman? My spies tell me he only beds women ” he asked with a smirk.

“He has a paramour, Olivia Kent”

“Oh...” Leoric sighed, even though it only lasted for a few seconds, the tone Rush used to speak about Olivia. Leoric noticed it and he asked straightaway “You are sleeping with her, don’t you?”

Rush’s eyes widened with amazement “Olivia?”

“No, Lady Aryan. If you are not sleeping with her then I imagine she is the one who doesn’t want you, isn’t she?”

Rush turned away, she was hurt and embarrassed at the same time. But Leoric was her friend, she could never keep anything from him or he will usually dig it out himself, he was good that way. “That doesn’t matter anymore, we have a huge problem on our hands if what she’s seeking turns out to be true”

“What is she seeking?”

“Dragons” Rush paused for a while and studied Leoric’s reaction, as she expected Leoric laughed. He went on to laugh for some time before he felt like he will be out of breath if he doesn’t stop.

Still laughing Leoric asked “Dragons? Has your paramour lost her brains? I have travelled all over the world, from the burning sun in Doha deserts to the freezing air of Frozen Sea and I have never, not even once heard of dragons”

“Except they exist, and it’s here in the capital”

“Here?”

“Yes, the queen has them or it’s what I think... a spy wrote to Aryan explaining what she saw. The day she gave birth to the prince, the dragons hatched by fire, like magic. I heard rumors of her sorcery and I know you have too; this could be true” said Rush showing every sign of believing her own theory even though she hadn’t yet proved it.

Now Leoric turned into a complete different man, he stopped grinning and wore his suspicious face “You said dragons, how many does she have?”

“Tiny five dragons in her castle, Aurora’s Hill. If I am to get inside the castle, which I heard it’s impregnable, I may get my answer”

“Can’t you go in as a servant or washerwoman; you will be hardly recognized”

“Except I will” Rush sighed and climbed out of the bed. She went onto the window and opened the heavy curtains, it was still cloudy and cold. She closed them again and walked back to bed. “Her servants have been prohibited from leaving the castle, they are all known to her and the guards. I talked to a local today and he told me the Queen has powers to see the future, a seer. If you get close to her, she may be able to see what you are up to or what you have been doing”

Reluctantly, Leoric refused to believe “Do you believe these people? They could be lying; did you think about that? Aurora looked nothing like a sorcerer”

“She doesn’t have to wear all black and ride a broom for her to be a witch my love, if she is housing five dragons in Blackmount, gods help us. With that power, think of what she will do to her enemies, or to you if you ever defy her or the king?” Rush planted the hatred seed inside Leoric’s heart, she let him see the danger forward as she called it.
