Chapter: EPILOGUE PART 2ISABELLE’S POV “How do you know that I am a queen?”. I ask her in a loud voice. She is still looking down at something in her hands. “I know everything”. These are the only words she says in her old voice. I was looking at her unable to understand anything when Elise pulled my arm a little. “Belle, I think we should leave”. She says to me close to my ear so that the elderly woman does not listen. Her voice was not above a whisper. “Wait a moment, Elise”. I put my hand on her hand and said to her. I take a few steps toward the table. Suddenly the old woman looked up at me. She is looking at me with her big wrinkled gray eyes. There is something in her eyes that I am unable to understand. She has an indescribable aura around her that screams I know everything. “Hmm… I see”. She looks toward me and says to herself. What does she mean by this? “What do you see?”. I ask her with confusion. She stands up and then takes weak and slow steps towards me. I don’t move back because then sh

I can meet the king whenever I want if he is in his chambers.Becoming a queen brings so many responsibilities with it. Now I have to participate in the celebrations held in the royal hall along with the king.

Chapter: 62ISABELLE’S POVI look at myself in the mirror. I am looking so beautiful today. The dress made by Edith is so beautiful that I am unable to take my eyes off of it. It is a sleeveless white dress and it has pearls stitched on it. It shows my back a little. My hair is tied on my back with fancy pins.“The king will be so much pleased to see you like this”. Edith says to me as she stands behind me and looks at me from the mirror. I smile. I don’t know if he will be pleased or not. He is still angry at me for escaping from the palace. The king did not talk with me since we arrived. He neither called me nor came to meet me.I am sure he is still angry at me and he is punishing me with his silence or maybe he is thinking of ways to punish me. I hope he has forgiven me. I don’t want to endure any more pain. I want us to be happy now. There are two to three maids here who are getting me ready. Elise is one of them.“Now let's put on the veil and the tiara”. Edith's voice brings me out of my t

Chapter: 61ISABELLE’S POVWe enter the palace’s boundary. Soldiers immediately bow upon seeing the king. Barden also joins them. It is early in the morning that’s why I think Barden is here. The sun has risen not so long ago.“Welcome back, my king, my lady”. Barden greets us. The king nods while I don’t say anything. I have nothing to say to him or any other person. The king did not talk with me throughout the journey. I also did not say anything to him. I never thought that I would confess my love to the king like this, like a vulnerable person. I look towards the palace and the flags of the Alsair Kingdom. I think it is the first time that I am not feeling sadness for coming to the palace. I am feeling like I am not the same person anymore. This palace for the first time does not look like a big cage to me. It does not look the same. I feel like everything has changed.The king stops the horse in front of the palace entrance. He climbs down the horse and then helps me in climbing down. He d

Chapter: 60ISABELLE’S POV I visit the fields, and the market but nothing is there like before. The fields have disappeared like they never existed. My village where there was hustle and bustle every time is deserted. Where did my family go? Are they dead? No, I should not think like this. They cannot be dead. I return to the place where my home used to be. I sit on a big rock in front of my burnt house and continue to look at it. I used to live here with my family but everything has changed. I have changed and this village has changed too. How can a lively village become so deserted? The day changed into the night but I did not move from the place where I am sitting. My thoughts are killing me from the inside. I am unable to understand where my family is. I am unable to understand what sin I have done in my life that I am getting punished like this. Now darkness is surrounding me. This darkness does not scare me because I am in my village, which once used to be my home. Now, where should I g

Chapter: 59ISABELLE’S POV “Wake up, young lady. We have reached”. A hand on my shoulder and a stern voice wakes me up. I open my eyes and look towards the man in whose cart I was traveling. I rub my eyes and straighten up a little. “Ladies nowadays are so weird. It is the middle of the day and you are sleeping. Wake up! I have to take these carts to the next village before sunset”. He again says rudely. The warm sunshine falling on me makes me realize that it is a day now. I slept through the whole journey. I get out of the cart and take my things with me. My legs feel so weak because of sitting for so long. When we left Lumina town, I had bandaged my arm again after applying the liquid. We took only two short breaks in a village to take something to eat and to use the bathroom. When the night had arrived and the darkness had spread around me, I was not able to stop myself from sleeping anymore. “Thank you”. I thank him and he makes a rude face in return. “Because of you, now my horse is so
