The Earl of the Carpathians (Cap. 1)

“Viking Warrior” by Martina Saviane

The candle dissolved that night

The old house as the last cedar of the forest became dark

No living soul next to us

You were wandering in the woods

Your feet were frozen

Somebody found you

You came home

They changed your clothes and your keys

Somebody said:

“You need to take a bath… A hot shower, my lord”

You said no

Then you ordered:

“Call the woman with brown eyes… Furious eyes as a nutshell

And I heard the knocking on the door

“Who is it?”, I asked

“The Earl calls you”, they answered me

I was walking quietly on the cold floor

I went to his royal room

Strong winds blew out all the candles

I tried to light a candle again, but he whispered “no”

“I need to tell you something”, the Earl said
