Chapter 6
Seradar's plan
Roberta giggled and blushed badly at Tor's comment, she couldn't help it.
" How are you doing?" Roberta asked
" I think I'm okay." Tor replied
Roberta smiled and tightened her grip on Tor's hand, Tor smiled with his famous caring smile.
" What happened Tor?" Roberta asked
" The Werelupe King must have survived our last meeting with him, so Skarl sent me on a solo mission to go after him, but he was a lot stronger than the last time." Tor replied
" Well, at least you are okay." Roberta said
" I'm fine now." Tor said
Roberta blushed worse than before, she knew what he meant. Tor smiled as he sat up and looked around the room.
" I guess I made it to Brightvale." he said
" Guard Zeko and Drake brought you in earlier." Roberta said
Tor saw that he was in his armor, it had a few dents and quite a bit of claw marks from the Werelupes, but Tor didn't seem to care at all.
" how about I show you the castle gardens, they are fairly new." Roberta suggested
" Why not, the scent of flowers always calms my nerves." Tor replied
Tor got up and followed Roberta outside to the castle gardens, the sweet sent of flowers drifted by Tor took a deep breath and sighed. He hasn't felt so at peace in a long time, he was liking the feeling of not having to worry about anything, he felt so relaxed.
In the throne room...
" Sire you have to understand, Roberta is royalty, therefore she must marry into someone of royal blood. Yet she falls for some filthy farm boy." Seradar said
" I'm not one to break my niece's heart, just stand back and let love bloom." King Hagan said
" You are very wise sire, I'll do just that." Seradar replied
Seradar left the throne room and went into his room and pulled out a few books of magic spells.
" I'll kill the only thing that stand in my way." Seradar thought
He smiled as he read through the books, he wasn't going to let a farm boy spoil the royal blood lines.
The next day Roberta found Tor helping a little Xweetok feed his Noil.
" Thank you mister." the little Xweetok said
" You are welcome." Tor replied
Roberta smiled, Tor was so caring and gentle, one of the many things she loved about him.
" I see someone is feeling better." Roberta said
" I'm feeling much better." Tor replied
" So I guess you are leaving for Meridell." Roberta said
" I don't have to." Tor said
" I don't understand." Roberta said confused
" King Hagan sent April the Uni messenger to Meridell to tell King Skarl what happened." Tor replied
" What about the farm?" Roberta asked
" That's the only part I'm confused about, I don't want Lucy having the burden of my chores, but I don't want to leave you." Tor replied
" I could go with you." Roberta offered
" Roberta, you are royalty, you belong here in Brightvale Castle, not on an old farm." Tor said
" If you haven't noticed Tor, I don't like the diplomatic life very much, I'm more of a tom-girl than a royal diplomat. I'd prefer being outside weeding a garden." Roberta replied
Before Tor could say anything, his ears pricked up hearing a noise from down the hall.
" Sir Tormund, I need your help." Seradar said
" What is it?" Tor asked determinedly
" A pack of Werelupes are attacking Brightvale Village." Seradar replied
" I'm on it." Tor said running off
" I can help." Roberta said
" No, we need someone good at hand-to-hand combat." Seradar said
A while later Roberta saw a giant blast coming from the peaceful Brightvale Village.
" Roberta!" a voice echoed
She knew it to be Tor's voice, she grabbed her wand and ran out of the castle to the source of the powerful blast.
Roberta ran as fast as she could, she came to a large field at the border of Brightvale Village and Brightvale Outskirts. She saw Tor laying on the ground she sat next to him.
" It was a trap, Seradar attacked me when I had my back turned." Tor said
" Take it easy, I'll take you to the nurses." Roberta said
Roberta took Tor to the nurses, but they said that Tor didn't have any major wounds, just a few cuts, she was confused by this... Maybe Tor outsmarted Seradar somehow, or Seradar underestimated the yellow Lupe.
" But Seradar came in with tons of cuts and gashes." Nurse Rose said
" My life was on the line, so I had no choice but to defend myself the best way I knew how." Tor said
" He will not get away with this." Roberta thought
" Don't worry, the king has Bruce working on new armor for you." Rose said
" He doesn't have to." Tor said
" Apparently, he wants to give you new armor as a gift for helping his niece." Rose said
" I'm going to see my uncle and talk to him." Roberta said
" I'll go with you." Tor said
Roberta smiled as Tor walked beside her to the throne room, then she turned serious Seradar wouldn't get away for what he did, he could have killed Tor. She wanted to kill the purple Gelert but she knew that her magic wouldn't be strong enough.
