I Bought the exiled king (by Natalie Winter) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129

Valencia

I fell asleep like a baby after the intense workout session, if I could call it that. It was good that I dozed off right away in the bed when I was woken up the next day by Mary’s incessant pounding on the door.

“Wake up, my lady. You have training today”

She kept banging at the door so hard I thought it would come off its hinges. “Go away,” I groaned, but she had somehow pushed the heavy door open and was pulling the sheets off

1. me.

“You asked me to haul you up even if you were hot like a furnace, so here I am,” Mary said, pulling away the sheets, pillows, just about everything she could to shake me awake.

I yawned and drowsily replied.

“Wow, I didn’t know…you were so determined.”

I barely managed to mutter those words, and my eyes began to close, but then she yanked a pillow and smashed it on my face.

“Ow” I said, rubbing my nose and planting my face into the bed to avoid her hits, but she really seemed persistent.

“Last chance, my lady. Please don’t make me do this,” She warned me, but I was already feeling the sleep return to me like an old friend.

“Argh!”

I shouted loudly as she dunked a huge bucket of cold water on me.

Panicked, I got up to see her standing with the bucket and looking at me with a guilty face.

“Sorry, you told me to use any method to wake you up in the morning.”

I would have blasted off at her if I hadn’t recalled that I had told her to do exactly that to wake me up. As much as the sex with Killian excited me, I was curious about the answers.

And I realized I would have to really get good at fighting, or at least the basics, for him to give

me answers.

I knew he was the Exiled Heir, but I still didn’t know why he was exiled, or why Morwenna had focused so much of the hate on him.

There had to be more than met the eye, and I was eager to find out..

“Yeah, I did” I wiped the water trickling down my face, and she held out her hand to haul me

1. up.

“At least, I dont have to run for a quick shower now that you brought the shower to my bed,” I said, making her smile helplessly at me.

“Don’t worry, you did the right thing,” I said, slapping my wet hand on her back, that made her shiver due to my cold touch.

I was on the castle grounds under ten minutes, wearing my training clothes, but Killian wasn’t around, so I ran back to the building he had built me a hay dummy earlier.

Killian was seated by the rocks, staring at the ocean further away as if he was deep in thought. I was going to call him out earlier, but then I decided I could sneak up on him.

So I carefully treaded through the other way, ensuring his back was facing me and slowly sneaked up on him.

I reached out with my hand and was about to tap his shoulder when he turned around and his hand caught mine out of nowhere.

“That was bloody brilliant,” I remarked, as he smiled at me.

“Good morning to you too”

“Good morning,” I replied, looking around to see that there were no dummies for me to practice on.

“Where is all the training equipment for me to fool around while you watch and note down my mistakes?”

I asked, brushing the hair out of my face.

“I realized we need to speed up the game because we dont have all the time to train you the old fashioned way.”

That was exactly what I had been asking from day one.

“Why the sudden change?” I was curious about his thought process.

“The werewolf attack and the King’s declining health….I figured things could take a wrong turn any moment so maybe if we put the temple duties aside for a while and focus on training alone, it should help.”

I nodded, trying to understand what he was saying, or rather, not telling me.

“Sooo…you dont want me to go back in the temple because you fear another one of the patients might try to attack me again and can’t tell that to me straightaway, so came up with this new revised training plan?”

Killian cocked an eyebrow but didn’t completely deny it. In fact, he chose not to answer.

“I thought you wanted answers, and what better way to get them than carning them by proving your mettle.”

Okay, game on.

Killian didn’t know I had been trying to practice when he wasn’t around with Mary and Sarah critiquing me, even though none of them had ever killed a fly.

“Fine. If I hit you, you give me an answer, right?”

I said, holding my hands up in front of my face and adopting a defensive stance.

“Yup”

Killian said, and I hurled a punch at him that he deflected easily.
