"You keep doing this thing where I fucking have to fall to your knees and respect everything you do, Aurora... what are you doing to me? he says, furrowing his brows at her.

"To you? what does that even mean?"

"You! Aurora, make me do things, I don't even think of doing"

"No Liam, an apology doesn't mean I'm changing you!"

Liam stood silently, staring at her, taking his hair backwards.

"Do you know how I was worried, I prayed even night hoping you would come back, what was I supposed to do? my husband was dead! I was left with a child they didn't even think was yours" She breathed as she rushed her words.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you would-"

"I don't need an apology, Liam, I want to know what happened!"

"I will-"

"When?" she interrupted.

"Soon Aurora" he breathed.

"I know I shouldn't be reacting this way, I should hug and you know... but it's not every time you get to do what you want, don't you see yourself as my husband?"

"I do just-"

"Just what Liam?"

    The morning came and Liam wasn't in bed, Aurora opened her eyes to the bright room and beautiful sunrise. She laid on the bed with her back staring at the ceiling, Aurora yawned trying to get up, she picked Liam's white robe and headed to the mirror. "Where did he go this morning?" She says, packing her hair up. The chamber door opened, Sania and Lia walk in. "Hey guys," She says surprised by the fact they had a line of dresses and shoes with them as they came in. "His Majesty seeks your presence," Lia says, bowing. "Oh, why?" she got up, staring at the variety of dishes coming in. "He didn't say, he is at court" Sania replies, blocking her from touching any. "What are you doing?" Aurora rolled her eyes at her. "You only eat, after you shower" "Please, don't be like my mother" She laughs, trying to find her way. "My Queen?" "Exactly I am your Queen so move aside," "It's the King's order" "Liam is a pain" She sighs taking off her robe, Sania quickly p

    "I can't believe it was that important" Aurora breathes, laying on the bed. "It's not your fault, he understands," Sania says, helping Lia clean the wolf's fur "I bet he doesn't," Lia says, struggling to clean it, Aurora sat up, staring at her. "You think so right?" She says in a low voice, pressing her hands together. "Yeah, he doesn't... but I heard our Queen did something today!" she says, at the same time as Sania. "What?" "You went against, Sir Collins" Sania says, they crawled to her by the bed. "Who's sir Collins?" She says, confused. "That makes it more savage, she doesn't even know who he is," Sania says smiling at Lia. "Also I heard the King already made an announcement" "Yeah, he's very impatient" "Why wouldn't he be? he's been expecting one for a long time." "Should have given him sooner" Aurora murmured. "The King also placed your coronation two days" "I didn't hear anything like that" She yawned. "We overheard him, saying it when he wal

    The palace bell rang loud helping Aurora get up from the bed, Liam lay on the bed with her, he had a paper file in his hands. "That was refreshing" she yawned, stretching. "Yeah, I know right for someone who felt suffocated," He says, getting off the bed. Aurora's gaze fell, remembering her words, "Liam, I need space, I feel so suffocated" "Not after that little kiss, it's so relaxing having you staring at me, while my hands are gripping your arms." She detailed. "I only kissed you hours ago" Liam laughs. "Well, you could demonstrate it now" He turned back at her, while she licked her lips. "You want me?" "Of course, who else?" she says, pouting. "I'm sorry, I can't right now neither can you" "I don't do anything" "Yeah, you have to prepare for your coronation, tomorrow" "Tomorrow?" her eyes widened. "Yeah, tomorrow" "That reminds me, I heard something big been happening, didn't you want to tell me?" "Like what?" "You changing the rules, your g

    "Come on baby, don't spoil today for me," Aurora says, tears gathering around her eyes. "Everything would be okay," Lia says, holding her hands. "Breath okay? the royal physician would soon be here" "It's not like I am giving birth" She rolls her eyes. "It's just to prevent you from making a mess in the court" "Christ," She exhaled slowly. "I wouldn't want to mess this gown either," She says, exhaling. "How is the Queen?" "We haven't heard anything from her chambers" "Well send someone to check!" He says, getting up from his chair. "Liam, she would send a message if she's fine," Edward says, calming him down. "Hope this works," He sighs. "Your Majesty?" "Start the event, we can't wait for her.' "What do you mean you won't? it's the queen's day so she has to" "Let's go, if she doesn't make it to the hall, then we can call it off" "The people are still sending gifts to the Queen," Samuel says.

    "Liam, I am not in your mood" she slams the door at him. "Stop" Liam pushes it back in, walking towards her. "Don't you dare try to order me!" she says, turning back at him.a"And why can't I?" He says in a calm voice. "What?" "What did you mean by that?" "For Christ's sake don't crowd me!" She yells moving away from him., "Are you okay?" "No, everything is suffocating including you!" She says, making hand gestures. "Do you want me to-" she interrupts. "I don't want you to do anything, now get out!" Liam looked around, maybe she had made a mistake. "Aurora?" "I said get out!" She rushes to the bed picking a pillow to throw at him."You're in my chambers!" He says "So what? I should leave?" she frowns at him. "No, I would leave" He slowly drops the shoes, stepping out of the chamber. Slowly the door shuts, Aurora looked around her what was she even doing? She didn't even know why she felt so much anger in her. "You shouldn't be aggravating her," Edward s

    Aurora bit her bottom lips, while her toes curl hard, "Liam I am going to-" She struggles, she grips the sheets, "Oh god Liam!" she breaths."Hmm!" she heard him grunt, he pulls her waist closer to his, for a minute he had forgotten about his royal heir. "Gosh, Liam" she crawls up to the bed, laying down tiredly, Aurora lays on her side staring at him. "I forgot" He commented, Aurora looks back at him smiling, he looked so guilty. "Come here" She opens her arms for him, he sighed, climbing up to her. "I'm sorry" He covers up with a sheet. "You forgot your darling heir?" She teases him laughing. "You scared me" His voice shook, Aurora smiles rolled towards the edge. "I don't even have a bump yet" She laughs, "I should cuddle you," He says, letting her throw her legs on him. "I shouldn't be sleeping again, but I feel so sleepy" she places her hand on his chest. Liam giggles, hearing her yawn, "You're such a baby" He tries to bring the duvet closer and he covers her

    Celebration in the palace had begun, and Kingdoms were coming together in other to celebrate Aurora. The princesses and Queen of each Kingdom to be precise. The tradition to celebrate a queen whenever she was carrying her first child, Liam made sure he didn't study that Meanwhile, back in Ithil, Aurora wasn't having any of the invitation or so-called feast. "I am not sitting and dining with someone who killed my husband!" "I'm alive," Liam says, startled. "How do you want to explain that you were dead for three days, and now what? I should dine with the daughter of that man?" "Aurora? I am alive" He laughs, staring at her. "Well, three weeks ago you were dead! and guess what they killed you!" she says, making hand gestures to back up her claim. "You sounding so creepy right now, and stop raising your voice at me" He chuckled, She turns back at him, rolling her eyes. "You can't and won't tell me what to do!" She says in a low tone.

    "She's asleep Sire," Sania says, standing in front of the door. "You can take the night off," He says, opening the door. Aurora lays on the bed, in a black nightdress, her blanket partly covered. "I was waiting for you" She growls, turning over. "You were? I can see" "Did you attend your business well?" "Yes, how did the feast go?" "Everyone was pleased, probably because they fear you" "No I don't think so, you're such a loving person" "It's nice hearing that from you" She laughs. "It's true" "Hmm, are you serious?" she teases him, Liam laughs, getting into the closet "Lisa said it was fine, they called you my favourite" "Hmm, I hear that a lot, been favoured by the richest and the powerful King ." Liam laughs, taking off his clothes. "It's not favour, it's love" Aurora giggles, smiling away. "Is it?" She replies with her hands on her cheek. "Yeah, and Lisa tells me you got along with Princess Theodora" he looks over to her, she had a big smile

    "Lisa?" he called, She dropped the knife immediately and looked at him. "Oh, Liam you're back?" She darts at Aurora and back at him. "What are you doing with that?" He asked, coming closer. "Oh, Aurora dropped this, after placing her on the bed, I picked it up" Lisa smiles. "You should be careful with those" Liam giggled. "Yeah, I think she cut herself" She says, Lisa picks the knife from the floor.. "What?" "I am just kidding, but she yelled, cried before going to sleep" Lisa says. "Why?" "She believes Lady Gina's serving girl died because of her" "Thank you, Lisa" Liam glanced around. "You're welcome, well then I think I should excuse you" she breathed. "Lisa?" He called. "Yeah?" She turned around, holding a coat in her hand. "I'm sorry for the death of your grandmother" He says, Lisa looked over to Aurora "Does she know yet?" Lisa cleared her throat, sucking in the flood of tears. "I will let her know" he says, Lisa smiled and nodded. "Goodnigh

    "I knew I should have gone to her!" Aurora says. "Stop it, it isn't your fault" "What if that's why she came to my chambers?" she panicked, bitting her nails. "Aurora, listen to me" Liam took her hands off her mouth, "You haven't slept for the past two days... you're pregnant, remember?" He patted her head. "Shouldn't you see, Lady Gina? she has to know" She says, Liam sighed. "Aurora!" he gripped her hands. "Don't tell at me, I am scared" she says. "You have to eat, you're causing danger to yourself" He explained, but Aurora hands kept shaking. "Hey," He held her hands tight. "We would find whosoever that did this okay?" He says.BB "Lady Daniella, How is she?" She bit her lower lips, blinking severally. "Sire?" Edward calls from behind the door, Aurora narrowed her gaze towards the door. "Come in" Liam says "Sire, your presence is needed at court." He bows. "Why don't you get a warm bath and..." He whispered in her ears, "and put on something nice for me?"

    Climbing over her, meeting her lips. He pulled away for a second to look into her eyes, "Ready?" He placed her legs over his shoulders, Aurora breath increased and she nodded. Liam pushed into her, holding her head in his arms, Aurora wrapped her legs around his waist. "Liam!" she moaned, kissing his ears, their breathing ragged as they both enjoyed each other. Her moans softly faded away, as hours passed. Few hours later, Aurora was fast asleep when she heard a strange noise, she opened her eyes to the dark room, she touched around and Liam was nowhere to be found. "Liam?" She called, assuming he had gone to shower, Aurora took off the sheets, coming down from the bed when she heard the same noise again, like someone had fallen. "Sania? is that you?" She searched the wall for the switch, "Kara?" she assumed, slowly she walked closer, Aurora trips over. "Oh! Sania? I'm sorry," she says, crawling through the wetness of the ground. Aurora reaches the wall, searching for the

    "I am, where did you get this grape from it's really sweet" she commented, Kara and Sania looked at themselves. "Grape?" Sania asked. "Yeah, grapes" Aurora looked at them, smiling. "What's wrong? you didn't get them?" She panicked. "I did... from my parents place" Kara blushed. "Oh, really? when did you leave?" "Ahh, that... my brother brings them twice a week" "You have a brother? does he work in the palace?" She asked, munching on her grape. "No, he's a farmer" Kara says, looking at Sania. "Can you tell him..." Aurora swallowed, "Can you tell him, to bring some more?" She lickef her lips. "It would be an honour!" She bowed, Sania shook her head. "Do you want some Sania? the King must have scared you a lot" Aurora furrowed her brows at her. "No, Your Grace... I wouldn't dare!" She says, Kara chuckled. "It's fine... I wouldn't be mind" Aurora assured her "Your Grace, you need to prepare for the burial" Aurora froze, she has totally forgotten about that.

    The palace, bell rang over and over around the palace, it was a custom that whenever a royal had passed on, the bells would keep ringing from the moment the news had reached the King till the next day, and Aurora in her chambers late at night, stared through the window. People from all over the citadel, stood with candles in their hands mourning the late Queen mother. Liam was stuck in her chambers till the next morning. "Your Highness, the King had ordered you to sleep" Sania weak voice says. "How can I sleep knowing my husband isn't fine?" she sniffled, turning around, Sania, Kara and Lia were on their knee in a white garment. "For the..." Sania says. "Why are you all kneeling?" She asked, confused and staring at them. "It's the custom?" "To kneel for no good reason?" she chuckled at their stupidity. "Yes, Your Grace" Kara says, wiping her eyes, Aurora took a deep breath "The King?" "Your Grace, he would..." Aurora hissed. "I need to see him, it's midnight and he hasn't st

    "Don't!" Sania stopped Lia from opening the door to Aurora's chamber. "Oh, you're here" Lia says, smirking at her. "Yeah, I am..." she rolled her eyes at her. "Why are you guys outside?" "Don't!" Sania yelled. "What?" Lia and Kara, replied gawking at her. "The king is with the Queen" she whispered. "You mean he left here?" Kara asked. "Yeah, he does that a lot..." Lia says, Sania nudged her, sighing. "So, we should probably wait... till he leaves" Sania says. "No, we should go back" "What? are you crazy? what if she needs us?" "After we left, was that when he came?" "Yeah, that time... Her Highness was in the shower" Sania paused, she looked around and gathered them together. "What happened?" Kara asked. "She won't be needing any," Sania mimicked, laughing. "Needing what?" Lia asked, for further understanding. "Her clothes, I assumed" Sania leaned back, shrugging. "Oh my God!" She held her chest, staring at the man at their front. "Sania..." h

    Just as the night crept, Aurora returned to her chambers after a long night with the princess, finally she found her way out, and huffed, closing the door of her chamber. "Your bathe is ready" Sania says. "Help me, get this dress off" She says, turning around, in seconds her dress dropped, she quickly grabbed a robe covering her naked body. "His Majesty?" Aurora asked, side glancing Sania and Lia who arranged her bed. Sania and Lia helped prepare a warm bathe for her, she dropped her robe as she stepped into the shower, it was indeed warm, she loved it, it felt so relaxing letting the water roll down her skin. "Thank you Sania" she says, smiling and enjoying the pressure of the water, this was exactly what she need after dealing with the princesses. "Your Highness," she smiled, "Do you need me to prepare your dress?" Sania asked, Aurora felt a figure watching her. "Oh... Liam?" Aurora eyes met his, he started at her with a smile, He had his hair lying on his shoulde

    "But I can't touch you without remembering Robert" He sighs. Aurora looked around the chamber, she didn't understand what he meant by that, but that was the most foolish thing Liam had ever said to her, She breathed wondering what he meant. Aurora thought of asking him what he meant but she couldn't bring herself to, Robert? what did he have to do with touching her? nothing he said made sense to her, there was a serious matter around the corner, with his attitude she couldn't bring herself to ask him why he did that. "You can do that later, for now let's shower huh?" She managed a smile, trying her best to bring up any topic that would provoke him knowing how Liam was, he could be so annoying especially when he couldn't or doesn't want to answer or talk about something. "We should?" He smirks, laughing. Aurora furrowed, he looked like a psychopath with his dull eyes and devilish smile, how could one look so scary without effort. "Yeah, why don't you help me undress?" she cares

    Aurora lays on his bed, sleeping as Liam steps in, Rialto sat there watching her "How is she?" "She's fine, she just needs rest, she had a hard time staying alone, plus her experience earlier made her shocked. "The baby?" "Fine, but you shouldn't leave her on her own, so it doesn't develop into trauma, it's bad for her health," Rialto says. "Thanks, is that all?" He glanced around. "Yes Sire, I would leave you now" Liam sits beside her watching her sleep. He would have let her stay in his chambers then things would have been different, she wouldn't have to worry about seeing or getting abused. "Sire?" Samuel whispers "Hm?" He turns over, getting out of the bed. "Prince Edward wants to see you" "Outside" Liam mouths, he turns back and Aurora slept soundly. Slowly he shut the door quietly, "What's going on?" "The princesses are asking for the state of the Queen" "She's fine, let them know that... and Edward?" "He says, Robert would like to see you" "Oh, he's ready
