"What do you plan on doing," Sania says Aurora wasn't paying attention to her, she imagined Liam on the bed with lady Gina, she imagined his hands roaming her body. she didn't believe he would actually sleep with her, he was king what did she have to say? It was weird, she wasn't feeling jealous, she only wanted him that bad. "Whitey!" Sania catches the dog from falling into the water, she picked him up and cleaned his leg. "How's prince Edward?" she sighs. "Huh?" Sania was surprised to hear her call his name, ever since the King had banned her from leaving her room she never mentioned him. "He's still on house arrest," Sania says. "Ah, Your King something else" she breathes. "Look who's here," Lady Gina says. Aurora looks up at her, she held a little kitty, she rolled her eyes at her and replied. "What do you want?" she says. "So the new is true?" Gina moved to her front. "What news?" "You're finally free" "What do you want?" Aurora never liked her she look
It had been days, and Aurora spent her morning and night in the king's chamber, it was something nobody could do. She was the first to get there, she hoped she would be the last. Liam had stopped going to see Lady Gina, he spent his nights with Aurora, the topic had gone round the palace. Everyone knew they were sleeping whenever. "Whitey this room is much better than mine, it's so big," she says. "Your Highness, you're really the king's favorite now," Lia says. "I have always been" she rolls her eyes. "Remember when you came to the palace first" Lia laughed. "Don't" she glares at her, she didn't want to remember those days. "Where's Sania?" "She is sick," Lia says. "What's wrong?"Aurora asked. "She had gone to see the doctor so she would be fine" "Really? that's good." she thought about Liam, she missed him, she wasn't doing anything rather than sitting in the palace all day waiting for him. "Your Majesty!" his guards greet him as he walked furiously. "
"The one over there next to the King is King Darius and that's his daughter, princess Rose" "Okay, that's enough" "I would be by your side if you need me" Aurora walked slowly in a white long gown, which had splitting by the side, she looked at Liam and he was stunned by her beauty. He got up and went closer to her. "Why do you look so pretty?" he says, Aurora blushes, tapping him lightly. "Come on" he places his hands at her back, his hands touched her bareback. "Why is the back open?" he whispers. "I don't know I didn't choose the gown" she smiled. "I didn't ask you to bec..." "You look lovely indeed" Princess Rose walked over to her, interrupting him. "Thank you" she hugs her. "You picked a darling, King Liam!" King Darius says. "It's a pleasure to hear that from you" "Queen Aurora right?" he says "Yes" she replies smiling awkwardly, she wasn't enjoying the situation. "Hi," he brings his hands out for a handshake. "Here" Liam leads her to a
"Finally you're here," Princess Lisa says. "Lisa!" she runs to her. "Hey be careful!" Liam says. "How are you?" Lisa scans her, turning her. "I'm fine, what about you?" "I'm fine, I'm so sorry for your loss" "Thanks," her mood changes. "You can't be running!" "Why?" she stands behind Lisa. Liam stares at her and laughs she was always short no matter what. "Come in when you're done" "Your Majesty!" lady Gina was over to Liam. "Lady Gina, how are you?" he looks back at Aurora. Aurora gives him a blank stare, "He's guilty" Lisa says. Hearing this Aurora laughs, she didn't lie, Liam had a guilty look on his face. "Let's go inside, grandma is waiting" She walks inside and there is a large table outside with chairs, it was her first time seeing an outdoor setting. "Aurora?" Prince Edward calls. "Edward?" she says shocked, her mind goes to Liam, she finds Liam talking to Lady Gina. "How are you doing?" his eyes follow hers. "I'm fine, when did y
"Your Highness breakfast is ready" Sania calls. "Come in" she breathes. "The royal doctor is here," Lia asks. "Let him in" she orders. "Your Highness!" he bows. "Thank you for coming all the way here" "Your wish is my command" "Would you like to take your drugs now?" "Yeah, could you add some sleeping pills to?" she asked, Aurora had no sleep, she had dark circles around her eyes, her lips were pale. "Your Highness" "I just want to something to sleep" she smiles at him "This would be the last time" "There wouldn't be a next time" she assures him. The royal doctor glances at her she had said the same thing four days ago. "Your Highness," Lia says slowly. "Yes?" she takes her head up. "Whitey is here" she forces a smile. "Finally, my only friend" she laughs. "Come in" Sania brings the little white dog in. "This King is also here" Sania slowly moves away. The door opens with force whitey jumps off from her body and hides in his little hous
"Liam" she whispered his name. "Do you want to leave the palace?" he asked. "I think you should do." he stared at her, his words scared her. "What do you mean?" she asked. "The court is working towards your removal as Queen," he says. Aurora looked confused, he didn't come closer to her or even asked her why it happened to her... "All I have to do is approve it" he smiles. "Liam, I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking straight" she says. "You should stay with your mother for a while" he moved back as she came closer. "Why?" she says, "Because you want to... and it would make the palace quiet for a while" "Liam... can you let me explain" she moved closer to him. "I shouldn't have made you My Queen, I shouldn't have agreed to this no matter what" He said. "What?" she looked around, she was confused agree to what? she thought. "You would leave the palace in two days, so take whatever you need" he intoned. "Liam!" she called, but he ignored her and left the room
"Your Highness" Sania greeted, Aurora came out in a long floral dress, she had her hair packed and wore a brown sandal. "Oh, Sania?" "Are you going out today?" Sania said smiling, she looked bright and happy. "Yes, I have to help my mom, why?" Aurora gawked at her, she felt uncomfortable with the whole thing, the vibe they passed was scary. "Nothing, I was wondering if I can escort you," Sania said, she raised her eyebrows at her, Aurora's eyes widened, she looked like she was high on something. "Your Highness" Lia greeted, she said with so much happiness. "Oh, Lia" she looked at her, she gave Aurora a quick wink, Aurora took a deep breath they both acted weird. "Are you going somewhere?" Lia scanned her, she looked normal like a farmer's daughter, but she still rocked whatever she wore. "Yeah, you?" Aurora took a quick scan at her, she wore a black dress and white slippers. "Nowhere" Lia answered, they all had paused and looked at each other, waiting for one of t
"I see" her mother smiled, she looked at them both and went back to her room, what was Liam doing? she looked at the necklace. The next morning Aurora came out of her room, she was in a white short nightdress and had her hair in a messy ponytail, her eyes were dark and tired, she looked like she didn't sleep all night. She looked at Sania and Lia, they were cleaning up, the sitting room sparkled. "Your Highness, good morning," Sania said, Aurora looked at them, she didn't know if she was to answer after they denied her. "Is something wrong?" Lia asked, she looked at Sania and back to Aurora, she could tell she wasn't happy. "Is something wrong?" she repeated, she was furious with them, she didn't know how to explain her anger. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that" Lia said, her voice shaking. "Aurora? is that you?" her mother called stepping out of the kitchen, she stared at them. "Good morning mom" she rolled her eyes at the both of them. "Is something troubling yo
"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
