Honey : The Empire's Treasure 376 Homecoming 4

Mika was very upset. If it were just a regular aircraft, she would have let the Shadow Wolves have the vessels without any say. However, those two wars.h.i.+ps were advance pieces of technology that she wanted to get her hands and nanos in.

She didn't need their soldiers messing it up before she even gets a chance to see the information that is inside.

"What are you doing to do with two wars.h.i.+ps?" Braeden questioned.

"What are YOU going to do with two wars.h.i.+ps!" Mika countered back.

"The army can use this much better than you can!"

"Oh really?"

"Yes, really."

"I would like to see you try."

"What?" 

"Go ahead and try to operate the wars.h.i.+ps."

"Fine, we will. Just opened the hatches so we-"

"Oh, no-no-no-no no. You are confusing something here. If you want the s.h.i.+ps then YOU find a way to acquire them yourself. Why should I willingly give you something that is mine? Idiot."

"You!…" Braeden spun around to his friend, "...Ailwin, can't you control your girl!? Why are you letting her do what she wants!" 

Oh, no-no-no-no-no...oh no.. Kaze and Nylian moved away from Ailwin and Braeden, afraid that they might be caught up in the whole fiasco.

"'Let me'?...What is that supposed to mean, Ge.ne.ral...Gil.wenys…?"

Everyone felt the temperature in the room drop. Braeden, in particular, felt like a hand was reaching for the back of his neck.

"No...I..I mean...that...he...the Commander...n…" Braeden couldn't bring himself to look Mika in the eye.

What the h.e.l.l is with this pressure coming from her!?

Braeden realized he was sweating profusely through his clothes as he heart was beating a mile a minute. His senses were telling him was in great danger.

"So you are saying that because he is Commander of the army here, he should have control over what I do?"

"Ngh...y...yes..." It was getting harder for Braeden to stay on his feet.

"...But General Gilwenys...I'm not part of the Shadow Wolves… Prince Ailwin is not MY Commander, so your words are confusing." Mika got up and walked towards Braeden, with every step she took that brought her closer to him the pressure got heavier. "...that would mean, you meant for him to control me because he's my fiancé...yes?"

Braeden could barely breathe let alone get the word "No." out of his mouth. Instead Braeden forced his head to give a little shake to the left then the right.

"No? That's good, then my mistake…" The coldness in the room disappeared and the pressure alleviate from his body. "...forgive my rudeness."

The stillness in the room didn't leave when Mikaela sat down, in fact Braeden and the rest had a difficult time adsorbing what happened.

Just how powerful is the young miss? This reflection wasn't only thought of by Kaze but by everyone on the room, especially Braeden who received the full brunt of her anger just now.

"If you can take the wars.h.i.+ps using your own power than take them, but I will not freely give them away….other than that can you all leave? I would like to rest before dinner."

"Eh-Yes."

"En."

"...Yes."

One by one the filed out of the bedroom silently, closing the door behind them.

It wasn't until the four of them were in Ailwin's office, did Kaze turn around to look at Braeden.

"Why would you say something so stupid?"

"Yea."

"En."

Everyone turned to look at Braeden, agreeing with Kaze's statement.

"What did I say that was so wrong!?" Feeling slightly sour from being threaten by a pint size brat to having his three companions acting like they didn't know him, Braeden was upset with their remarks.

"You can't possibly believe that saying what you said, to Mikaela of all people, was right thing to do." Ailwin said taking a seat behind his desk. Even he knew that his young pet.i.te fiancee held some hidden cards up her sleeves that if crossed she would have no problem using them.

"All you guys are cowards! She just a little fledgling!"

"A little fledgling who had you stuttering…" Nylian muttered underneath his breath.

"Hey!...I did not stutter!"

"Sure...sure, you didn't." Ailwin leaned back in his chair smirking.

"Okay! Maybe I did a little...but you can't blame me! You guys didn't feel the pressure she was putting on me...how does one so young and small have that much power anyways?!"

Everyone's heads whipped towards Kaze's direction.

"Why are you all looking at me?"

"You have known Mikaela the longest here, shouldn't you tell us what her gifts are?" Braeden spoke as poured himself something to drink.

Once again Kaze was ashamed to admit that he doesn't know much about his young miss. For all the time he spent in the Amara clan main household, he knows every little, next to nothing about Miss Mikaela.

"I haven't even seen Young Miss use her gift yet...really…" Kaze looked away from their probing eyes.

Ailwin thought about it and realized they too, hadn't seen Mikaela use her gifts yet.

Unless it's eating and p.i.s.sing people off then I see it penty.

Ailwin glanced over at Braeden, "You said you saw her in Ash city, what type is it?"

Braeden stared off into s.p.a.ce as he recalled the time in the cave when he watched Mikaela 'heal' the tree.

"I don't know what I would call it."

"Well, what power did she use?" Ailwin was curious.

"Um….fire!…and...water, maybe? Oh, and bubbles...possibly…?

The three men looked at Braeden.

"Fir, water and bubbles?"

"Yeah...bubbles." Braeden looked away from the intense stares. Truthfully, he could only be sure of her gift of fire, the rest of the thing Mika did in that cave were guesses.

"….."

"If you guys don't believe what I say then go ask her yourselves then!"

"Forget it, that is not your biggest problem right now…" Ailwin drew everyone's attention to outside his window. 

"....Even if Braeden is able to get inside those wars.h.i.+ps,"

"I will, and without your fiancee's help!"

"Even if you can….we need to think of what we are going to do with the soldiers...o...b..ard and how the stop the King from sending more here in the time being."

"We can put the royal guards in the holding cells…" Nylian proposed.

"Yea, but for how long? The King will eventually wonder where his men and s.h.i.+ps went." Ailwin knocked down that idea.

"Should we launch a sneak attack?" Braeden said.

"We are not fully prepared to go the war with the King yet, and two wars.h.i.+ps are hardy enough to go up against the his might."

"Then what do you suggest?" Kaze asked.
