Carolyn You will have to wait and see!
Part 62
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN! HOW COULD THAT OLD WOMAN ESCAPE!" Yelled Kivar
"I don't know how it is possible Sire."
"Nicholas, take your men and find her! Find Elexa and my slut too!"
"Sire, if they are with the underground then we won't find them."
"Nicholas, find them or I will cut that ugly ass head off that discussing body of yours! Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Sire."
Nicholas ran off to gather some men to hunt the woods for the three women Kivar was after. Nicholas planned to find that bitch of a maid as well, and what he had planned for her would make her untouchable for any Antarian. Oh she might find a place in the slut houses. But first they would have to make her infertile. Not that it mattered with his people. They couldn't reproduce with anyone other than their own race.

Liz walked through the caves until she found an opening that led outside. She walked through the woods to a lake where she found Kira crying. Liz sat next to her and took a deep breath.
"You ok?" Asked Liz
"I guess."
"Kira, I don't blame you for being upset. When I found out who I really was I was upset."
"If what Shave said is true and he loved my mother why didn't he act like he wanted me?"
"I don't know. Kira, from what I understand of laws even if he had acted as your father you would still never been acknowledged as a member of the Royal family."
"Because he wasn't married to my mother I am seen as nothing but a bastard."
"Not by me, and the rest of the court won't see you that way. You are my sister and I want to get to know you as that."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I would like that too Liz. I don't know if you remember but Elexa did have a kind heart. Oh she had a temper but no one messed with someone she cared about."
"I don't remember everything but things are coming clearer. It was over near the waterfall that Zan and Elexa kissed for the first time. They were courting."
"Kissing is only aloud between married mates."
"I do remember that. But do you think your mother and our father didn't kiss during their affair?"
"I guess you are right."
"May I talk to my daughter my Queen?"
Liz and Kira turned to see Jayva standing behind them.
"Yes. But first I think we should get back. There is danger out here." Said Liz
The other two just nodded and they headed back to the caves. Once there Liz left the mother daughter to talk.
"What do you want mother?" Asked Kira
"To explain things to you."
"What's to explain? I am the bastard daughter of the former King of Pantar. Half sister to the rightfully Queen of all Antar. The former wife to a murderous traitor."
"It was painful for your father not to be able to not be able to claim you as his daughter. He wanted to. But it would have caused a major scandal."
"He only cared about himself. Unlike Liz, I do remember nearly everything from before I died. I remember that he was cold. That he had really wanted a son to pass the crown to."
"He had wanted a son. But he ended with daughters. He held you on the day you were born. Shava, knew that he was your father. She had never found love. She was trapped in a loveless marriage while I was labeled unworthy of marriage. My father had picked a man for me to marry. A man who had already been married once and had a six year old son. But once this man who was more than ten years older then me learned I was to have another man's child he refused to marry me. He would not have raise another man's child. He did marry another woman. Though she was hardly a woman. She was of age to bare a child so it was legal."
"How old was the girl?"
"Fourteen. The man was thirty one. This man was a Duke of Canter. So it gave this girl's father more power. But the girl was very unhappy. She had six children with her husband. Four sons and two daughters. This Duke drilled it into all of his sons heads that a wife is only for giving you an heir. That only a son is an heir. His eldest from his first marriage took hold of this. His daughters were groomed to be wives of powerful men. When the Duke's eldest son was fifteen he gave him a concubine. But he also let the boy have sex with his wife. Now after her sixth pregnancy in eight years she no longer could have a child. The doctors had to remove part of her reproductive system. Another pregnancy would have killed her."
"How do you know this?"
"The girl the Duke married was the younger sister of a friend of mine. Now shortly after the eldest son's twenty fifth birthday the Duke died. So he became the new Duke and had to find a wife. Now the girl he wanted as a wife was Elexa. He wanted the power that would come with being married to the eldest daughter of the King of Pantar. But Riker thought that Zan would be a better match for his hot tempered daughter. But he agreed to let both the Prince and Duke court his eldest. But he had already signed an agreement with King Victron for Elexa to marry Zan. But told no one of it. He knew how Elexa felt about the Duke. He also knew if she had become his wife she would end up dead. Once the announcement was made that Zan and Elexa were to marry the Duke was angry. It was then Riker signed the papers to have you marry the Duke. Kivar has never learned that Riker was your father."
"Why did you let him do that to me?"
"I had no say. I was a guest in the palace. Shava, could have had me sent away. She could have had you sent to be a concubine. But she didn't do those things."
"Why?"
"Because, Kira while I wasn't happy that my husband was sleeping with my sister. I still loved my sister and you were an innocent in the matter." Said Shava joining them.
"I still don't understand." Said Kira
"I was not going to punish you for the actions of my husband and sister. They were in love and I knew it. They should have married. But that wasn't what was to happen." Said Shava
"Aunt Shava, weren't you angry that you didn't have a loyal husband?" Asked Kira
"Kira, my husband made choices I didn't agree with. But I had been taught from an early age that even if I was not the only woman that he had sexual relations with that I could not stray from him. Had I and become pregnant by that man I could be put to death. That is why I was relieved when I learned of the contract for Elexa to marry Zan. It was one of the few times Riker listened his mother. She got visions of the future. Elexa at times showed signs of the same gift. But it would only fully develop when his mother died, and she is still very much alive." Said Shava
"You got that right Shava. Though most of my gifts have faded. It happens when you get older." Said Claudia joining them with Liz.
