Detective Liam Niles: The Final Conquest by BONITA HIGHLEY - HTML preview

In the corridor, in a mass assembly around them, everyone preparing their swords, as they forward into their positions.

Liam walking half way down the corridor in his fight clothes of, a surcoat emblem outer tunic, worn over plate armor of rigid metal as Tauna in her loose peasant shirt and jeans, with surcoat, just coming around the corner seeing him, as she began her way after him, then catching up to him she walked his pace with full force.

Liam seeing her by his side, taking a double look at her.” Tauna, what do you think you are doing!!”

Tauna, giving him back glances while continuing her brisk walk beside him. “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m coming with you to over see the battle!”

Liam, taking a third lingering look at her as he continued his walk. “Absolutly not! You are to stay here where it’s safe! Why con’t you just accept your entitled role as Lady without warrior?” He said in his deepest stern British accented.

Tauna, giving him an off look. “Why must I always abide to your words! Instead of you once again having scorn for me! A lady can oversee in battle and even fight for a kingdom!”

Liam stopped in place, turned to her.

Tauna stopped with him followed his turn to him.

Liam, stood adamant. “Tauna! This battle could get very intense. Even a lot of lives lost. Much too dangerous for you as Lady. I am your husband, your protected head, and I said NO! You are to stay here is that clear?!”

Tauna, “But Liam….”

Lliam, placing his hands upon her face. “I’m telling you this Little Girl! You are the heir to Chivalry Chapel, stay where you are entitled to, and not the battlefield! Now, Lord wills, I shall be back later and I will see you later in our bed, is that understood?!” He kissed upon her mouth. Caressed her face with one hand, then left her side toward the battlefield.

Tauna, with deep sigh, sees him leaving, grips her sword harder, goes to look outside the arched windows looking out, she sees a tall dark man in long black cloak with dark mask treading towards the Wyvern Castle. In alert, she turns treading down the corridor and into her father’s office. “Father! I accept the role of queen now!”

Connor, turns to her quickly. ‘What!?”

Tauna,in urgency. “I don’t have much time to explain Father. Please don’t question my motives, just grant it to me the offer to be queen, and quick.” She stood in respectful demeanor, but adamant.

Connor, giving her a curious look. “I can give you my granting, my daughter, but why the sudden request? And where is Liam to share in this request?”

Tauna, “Father. The Black Knight, he is entering into the Wyvern Kingdom. You need to trust in me. It is of most urgent that I be placed before the throne of the Wyvern Kingdom. Please Father. I assure you. This must take place for the future destiny of all.”

Connor, hesitant, “I can only give my blessing of representation.”

Tauna stood ready. “I accept.”

Connor, then placing his hand in front of her, moving his hand up, down, side to side giving her his blessing .

Tauna, about turn to leave.

Connor added. “Be sure to give special interest of safety to Liam in his fighting, to make sure he has back up. That no one can slay him or threat of it face their own demise instantly. For He’s is like my own son I never had. Go on. And Godspeed, my daughter.”

Tauna going back to him, kisses upon his cheek. “ Thank you Father.” She turns to leave.

Outside in the rain, Tauna, rain dripping wet down her long locks of auburn hair. Seeing the battle has begun, the Templars with their swords swing, hacking and slashing their way through to the front door of the castle.

Liam with Trey, Sir William, Devon with Tremen, striking their enemy in their warring, but also seeing half the Templars going down to the ground, the enemy taking them out, at the same time, in her view, seeing the presence of the Black Knight overseeing the battle. In fearlessness she then turns to see the exterior walls of the castle.

Making her way to the castle, she then proceeds to entering into the throne room, climbing the stone stairway steps out into the balcony to oversee all the men from both sides of embattlement.

With earnest endeavor, she unties the Templar’s cloak as it fell to the ground. Then rushes to the castle’s stone wall, taking the long banner of heraldry Arms off the hooks, rolled it up, then pick it up hauling it over to the outside balcony, placing each of the metal rings onto the hooks, then pushed the banner over the edge of the terrace as the banner quickly unrolled down ward showing the depiction of a fleur de-lay and Draco-Dragon amongst all then stood in center looking down at them all.

The banner getting the men’s full attention, all the men on both sides stopped their fight looking up at her in her standing, then retreated to postpone the battle on grounds of her territory, retracting their swords from each other then disbanded. The Black Knight, seeing this, moves onward out of sight.

Liam, in dripping wet hair looking up to see her queen-like stance, stood in bewilderment.

The Templar knight, boldly tread to his cloak, picking up his cloak, placing upon himself, sees Liam and Trey, seeing him, as they all leave together. Inside the Chivalry Chapel Great Hall……

Tauna, watching her husband in slight protest of her action.

Liam, pacing back and forth in front of her. “How did you convince your father to give granting to your Queenship?” Nonetheless brilliant tactic, but also so devious of you to defy me, I’d say. What on earth, were you thinking LITTLE GIRL!?”

Tauna, in contrary expression. “Oh Liam Don’t put it that way! I saw him Liam! I saw The Black Knight! I had to do something to stop the battle before all is lost. So I found a way to defeat the Black Knight’s intentions. By stopping it!”

Liam, pacing his steps back and forth in front of her. “YES, MY LOVE! You stopped the battle but this battle will not end of the Black Knight. We have seen what he can do. This is not over. He will be back and he will try to conquer us! And now that you have your father’s blessing as

representative as distinguished queen, you are now even more sought after in value. And I will have to keep a double eye on you. ” He placed his concerned hands upon her face. “You could have been killed out there.”

Connor, Bren and Sir William with Marriam, bringing in the templar, alongside with Inspector Crouse, Elise entering into the room, followed by Devon and Tremen.

Trey, with Lauren rushing inside the room in urgency. “There is word of the black knight soon to come.”

Liam, clarified. “You see? But, how to lure the Black Knight into position to overtake him? Right, Connor. Summon the monks. Bren, Lauren, tell the rest of family to stay safe with each other. Devon, Tremen, stay here with your families.”

Tauna, “I’m coming with you.”

Liam, hesitating at first.“Alright. But you will stay close to me.”

Breyen rushed into the room. “Devon! William is missing!”

Devon , ”Where is he!? That boy of ours is precocious. We must find him fast!”

Liam, instructed. “Devon, stay close to each other with your sword ready.”

Devon, nodded confirmed .Then taking Breyen’s hand, both leaving the room.
