❤️❤️❤️ Emperor Ariadne Will (Part 5)❤️❤️❤️
"Surprise? The chain allows me to move around the room like I please but I can't free it. Dark powers helped him, Kira."
"I don't understand you Adaoh."
"We are bound to him, especially you." Adaoh told her and at that moment a knock was heard.
Kira went to open the door and collect the tray of food from the servant that brought it and close it, turning to go and meet Adaoh and giving her the tray filled with a full chicken, white rice, soup broth and a large jug of water.
"So what's the story? Why did he put you in invisible chains? What was your offence?" Lord Kira asked.
"You can ask him yourself but I bet you, he won't tell you. I will tell you everything about myself and you only when he comes for you. We are connected more than you know," Adaoh said, taking the tray from Kira. "Thank you for your kind gesture," she added as the placed the tray on her bed and sat close to it. "I have been famished."
"There you come again Adaoh, speaking in riddles. Who will come for me when I have my husband to be right here with me. I will ask him why he imprisoned you and let's bet, he will tell me when I asked him." Kira told her.
"Okay, thank you once again for the food Kira." She thanked and watched as Kira left the room.
Kira went to train, she was going to ask Dean her questions later. After training with her sword, she went to meet Dean Dragons which was made with Air, Water, Earth and Fire. By the time she was through with he two dragons, she had forgotten what she wanted to ask Emperor Dean.
That night, Kando and Cando left Kudarma for Ashland.

Ashland Kingdom:
Emperor Ariadne Palace:
Empress Rose was seen with four pigeons. The pigeons were caged and each of their legs were tied with a piece of paper. She opened the cage and they flew away, going into different directions.
Facing a guard, "Go and inform our messenger about the death of the Emperor and tell him to announce his death to the people of Ashland. I have send the pigeons to the three Kings we have in Ashland and the last one to message my daughter and her husband."
The guard nodded his head and left to do as he was told.
Entering her husband's room, she saw the two of the female servants cleaning his feet, hand and his naked body. The only place she ordered them not to touch was his waist to his knees which was covered with a piece of white cloth. Emperor Ariadne's neck was sliced open with a knife which lunged in his forehead. His room window was broken. His five personal assassins that were remaining were all laying on the floor, some of their throats opened, some their stomach.
The Empress tried to suppress her tears, threatening to come out when she saw the state her husband was. She had walked into his room early morning to serve him his daily herbs when she met the horrifying sight. Her scream had woken up the entire household and her two sons who rushed to meet her. Morgan had swung into action, ordering the guards to carry the dead bodies of the assassin's out of the room.
Who could have done that?
She left the room and turned to face the guards which were stationed to guard Emperor Ariadne room.
"Are you trying to tell me you heard no noise at all? Surely he must have made a noise when he was being killed."
"We heard no noise, my Queen. It was quiet," one of the guards said.
"You all are a bunch of useless people. That means we no longer need your assistance because if they could do this to my beloved husband and his best trained assassin's, then they could kill us right under your watchful eyes. Go and tell Marcus that my husband is dead. Tell him to hurry up before the three Kings start coming." Empress Rose told the guard who bowed and left to call the Empress brother who had become the Warlord of Ashland.
