My Dangerous General CHAPTER 14

.........

Circenn was walking in the garden of his castle while the woman waited in his chambers for mercy that was not his to grant .....

He struggled to harden himself against her ....

He had lived so long by the rules that he almost hadn't heard his conscience voice when he'd raised his sword to her neck ....

While his warrior's training had insisted he honor the vow , a thing he had thought dead in him had shake his resolution ....

Compassion . Sympathy .....

And a strange little voice that had softly , but relentlessly , questioned the rightness of his rules .....

He had recognized that voice ...

It was doubt - a thing he hadn't suffered for an eternity ....

Circenn Macckevin's rules were the only thing standing between him and a complete craziness , chaos and corruption .....

A warrior's oaths were his lifeblood , an unbreakable code by which he lived and died ....

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" What is the solution ? ... "

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" She must die .... "

She .....

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" How could it be a woman ? ... 🤦‍♂️ "

Circenn respected women ; he had adored his mother and treated all women with the same politeness and kindness ....

He felt women exhibited some of the best characteristics of humanity .......

Circenn was Macckevin , whose line of royal succession was matrilineal .....

Years ago , when Circenn had sworn his oath to Adam Black , he had not once considered that the flask might be found by a woman , and such a delightful one at that .....

When he'd torn the strange hat from her head , her thick hair had fell nearly to her waist in a fall of copper and gold highlights ....

Green eyes , had widened with fear , then quickly narrowed with anger as she'd said that the hat was a gift from her da ....

It was only fitting that he return the family heirloom , no matter how ugly it was ....

Unusually tall for a woman , and graceful , her brèasts were full and firm , and he had glimpsed the press of her nìpples against the thin fabric of her strange garment ....

When she had bent to retrieve her bonnet he'd nearly snaked an arm around her waist , pulled her against him , and let his demanding nature be free .....

Her legs were generously long - long enough to wrap around his waist and permit her to comfortably cross her ankles while he - ....

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" Stop stop ... Were your thoughts are going !! ... 🤦‍♂️ "

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" You are hopeless Circenn ...And then what ... slit her throat when your desire was fulfilled ? ... "

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" Had Adam suspected that the bearer of the flask might be a female ? ... "

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" could he have seen into the future with his fairy vision and even now be laughing at my dilemma ? ... " ( suspicious )

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" Yet , if i didn't used a binding curse in the first place , the woman's life wouldn't be in danger now .... "

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" It was my stupid curse that had brought her here , and now i am supposed to kill her ... "

Unless he found some proof of deception on her part , her death would be innocent blood on his hands that would haunt him for the rest of his life .....

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" No , stop thinking Circenn ... "

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" The best solution was to kill her .... "

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" I will fulfill my oath ; then , come tomorrow , life would be normal again ..... "

Circenn Macckevin (ML)

" i will secure the flask in the secret place with the other hallows and continue the war ..... "

Circenn primary goal was to see the Bruce securely on the throne of Gantrick .....

Upon the Alynthia king's death , his son Edward II had continued his father's war ....

If Alynthia won the war , nothing of Gantrick unique culture would remain . They would be weak and obedient , taxed into starvation and submission .....

Their greatest hope against the ruthless king of England was the Templars who had sought shelter at his Castle .....

The injustice and ill treatment against the Templars grieved and infuriated him ....

They was once a very strong and rich Knights in Gantrick's neighbour country ... But Alynthia king wanted to take there authority and money after invading their country , so he had them arrested , imprisoned , and forced through torture to confess sins they didn't make ....

The so called " trial " had been a witch - hunt , deviously aimed to strip the Templars of their fabulous riches ....

The few knights who managed to escape imprisonment or death had become outcasts , without country or home .....

When Circenn had realized the knights downfall was inevitable , he had hastened to meet with Robert the Bruce and , with Robert's approval , had sent word to them that they would be welcomed in Gantrick ....

Robert had offered them shelter , and in return , the powerful warrior had turned their fighting skills to the battle against Alynthia .....

The Templars were formidable warriors , trained in weaponry and strategy , and they were essential to win the war ......

After they entered the army they were warring better , executing cunning strategies , and winning minor battles .....

Circenn knew that if he faltered now , if he began to break oaths or did anything that shakes the Templar's loyalty , he might as well throw away the past ten years of his life , along with his love for his motherland .....
