Chapter 4

The sound of people whispering and gossiping around them was all they heard and Caroline rushed Nik and herself away to the woods.

They sat by the small river abd she riped a small piece of her dress and wet it before using it to wipe te blood off his face.

"Nik what were you thinking? You fought with the prince for God's sake!"

She scold him and he flinched as she wipe the blood from his face "Love dont bring God into this, you know i dont believe in Gods or anything like that"

She sighed and rolled her eyes "If my mother hears you saying that she wont let you get out of the house until you become a catholic" she chuckle and so did he

"And that is why you wont tell her that i said that" he laughed and kissed her hand pullin her closer "I feel so much better now so can we do something else?" he smirked and raised his eyebrows which make her giggle "Like what?" she asked pretending she didnt knew what game he was playing.

He pulled her to his lap and caressed her cheek before kissing her soft pink lips. She raised a hand to his face and to his curls.

Snaking his arms around her waist, he pulled her body agaisnt her, their chests agaisnt each others and their lips connected.

When she moaned into the kiss he took the opportunity to thrust his tongue into her mouth and curled it with hers. Things started to turn heated and he knew that she will soon stop what was going on and when be tried to sneak his hand under her dress she shot up from his lap "My love we need to stop"

He nodded and stood up "Im sorry Carebear, it was just the heat of the moment"

She shook her head "Nik please dont call me like that, im not a child anymore" she moved to sit against a tree and looked at him "Nik you treat me like a child sometimes and it makes me think that you wont stop treating me like a child until i give in..." she trail off and look down to the ground and he knelt infront of her and grabbed her face.

"Caroline i call you like that because thats how i learned to call my best friend" he smiled at her and peck her nose. "its just that sometimes i get a little too overprotective with you because i always took care of you like an older brother and old habits never die" he chuckle and she giggled too.

"I love you Nik" she said and kissed him softly and he returned the kiss "i love you too sweetheart"

The last few days in the castle have been pretty tough for the Queen and with the return of the king it was even harder for her.

Usually whenever her husband returned from one of his crusades he would only talk about his experiences all the time, forgetting to be polite and ask about everyone else's day but today she was glad that he didnt asked her anything.

The fight in the marketplace had not only impacted Esther but also her children, even though they didnt knew it was their brother that was fighting with Kol.

Finn had to deal with warning all of his siblings about not telling their father about the incident in the village.

Elijah has been keeping his distance away from Finn for the last few days since their conversation. He was starting to really worry about his brother's actittude toward all this and he was afraid that he would turn out to be just like his father.

Rebekah on the other hand couldnt keep her mouth shut so she drag Bonnie -Abby's daughter- into her room and started telling her about the dreamy blonde guy of the village. Bonnie agaisnt her wilth had to listen to Rebekah talk about one more of her many crushes.

Kol was the one that stood silent for the first days and ignored everyone, thinking that they had turned their backs on him for a simple villager and embarassed him infront of his kingdom. He was going to make sure that that guy pay for what he did without getting his hands dirty.

After the sweet servant announced dinner all of the Mikaelsons walked down to tge dinning table.

Mikael sat in the head of the table, his wife sat by his right side, Elijah on his left side, Rebekah next to Elijah, Finn next to his mother, and last but not least Kol sat next to Finn.

After finishing their dinner Mikael started telling his sons about his crusades "And well at the end we lost a lot olf men but it was worth it since we got control over the Salvatore kingdom and now they rule under our command" he said proudly

Finn nodded at his father's starement but Esther spoke "Sadly we lost some good men that fought for our kingdom and we shouldnt be celebrating their deaths."

Mikael rolled his eyes at his wife's anticts and scoffed "They were simple peasants that play collateral damage on my sofisticated plan"

"Those simple peasants have families that worry about then too Mikael!" she said as she stood up from the table frowning at her husband.

Mikael shot up from his sear almost making the chair fall "How dare you speak to me in such tone infront of my children!"

"They are my children too and they need to know whats wrong and whats right!"

"Enough!" he shouted as his fist hit the table and everyone jumped.

She shook her head and left the dinning room without speaking any further.

Mikael sat down back on the table as the rest of the children stare at their plates trying to avoid their father's gaze.

"As i was saying before your mother so rudely interrupted me, we lost a lot of men and now we need new recruits. I was think about you two boys, you guys are old enough to accompain me and then we will choose men from our kingdom to serve our army"

Finn nodded as he wiped his mouth "i agree with you father and i think i spoke for the both of us that we are deeply thankful for your offer and we wont disappoint you"

Elijah nodded in agreement and took a sip of the wine as he eyed Rebekah shifting in her sit uncomfortably and Kol pouting like a small child.

"Father can i come with you too? Im old enough and I want to serve by your side along with my siblings." Kol said as he looked at his father willing to beg if it was necessary. He hated been the youngest and it was time to prove them that he wasnt a little boy anymore.

"Im sorry son but you are too young, maybe in a few years"

Kol pouted and crossed his arms over his chest like a small child and Mikael stood up once again "Its all settle, tomorrow we will recruit enough men for our army and in a few weeks we will conquer the Lockwoods kingdom"

Finn and Elijah nodded at his father as Rebekah stood there akwardly and Kol stare at them as i idea came to him

"Father i have a suggestion for the first recruit, his name is Nik" he said micheaviously as everyone else in the table gasped except Mikael.

Mikael nodded "Thanks son for your help, ill make sure to pick him first"
