"She just left I don't know where she is going," Her mother tells the king. "I would follow her and from there head to the palace you three bring her back. Aurora heads for the river where she had met the stranger she had a drink with hoping she would find him there again. "Why am I even here?" she kicks the sand and walks away. After walking around she finally settles to eat, "Excuse me!" she signals. "Aurora?" a male calls "Michael?" she looks at him. "I thought you said that you wouldn't be able to make it?" What am I even asking it's not like I didn't know he lied. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "What? ain't I the one to be asking you? she eyes him, she prayed he had come to apologize, she was ready to take him back "Baby? what's wrong?" a girl sits beside him. Aurora's hearts scattered, she knew there was no way he was going to apologize to her, her heart bleed once more, she held herself from crying. She wanted to bear him up, her heart like a
"goodnight your highness" sania greets her. "you look lovely" "thanks" aurora finally smiles "i bet the king won't take his eyes off you" lia assures her. "bye, see you guys tomorrow" she blows them kisses. "this way your highness" a royal guard escorts her. "wow you look beautiful" lisa spots her, looking her over. "thank you, you too" she replies "thank you" she helps her down the stairs. "oh, liam!" daniella walks towards him. aurora looks at the king and he hasn't even seen her yet. "liam, it's aurora isn't she beautiful?" she asks liam who turns to look at her and is intrigued. "oh my, you let go of your hair today? i haven't seen that before, it's so pretty" the grand queen compliments her. king liam is struck by her beauty and doesn't even say a word. "liam do you have something to say to her?" lisa asks noticing how he is looking at her. "huh?" liam asks stunned. "your highness let me help you with your coat," a maiden asks. "sure
"Good morning!" "We're just waiting for you" "Me?" "Ain't you the host?" Lisa raises a glass of wine to me. "Oh, have you seen Liam around?" "He went out for some business he would soon be back before lunch" "Lunch?" "Um yes" "Did I sleep that much?" "I guess so" "Hey, Good morning," Prince Edward says. "You're still here?" "Of course... I heard your birthday is this month?" "Oh that I don't usually get to celebrate it anyways" "It's different now you're queen," Lisa says. "Huh why are you two coming in together" "We met at the front," Liam says. "Yes I had a smoke outside," Daniella says "Did you sleep well?" "How could you leave me without any words" "Had some business to take care of at the council hall" "Oh did you miss me?" he whispers making Aurora blush. "Stop!, of course," She looks at the others and they all give them a disgusting look. "I know we are in your house but couldn't you do those things in your chambers?" "Should we?" Liam mo
"What!" "It all over the palace, that lady Daniella is pregnant for the King" "How is that even possible?" "I don't even know" "It would soon go out of hand everyone is talking about it" "Does Her Highness know yet?" "I'm not sure, she is still asleep" "Sania let's go check up on her" "What if His Majesty is inside?" "Let's stand guard before she comes out" "Okay let's go" Sania drags her. **** "Are you okay? you keep throwing up every morning you wake up" She continues without answering him. "Oh my! I thought that won't end" "I will send for the royal doctor immediately and you're not stopping me this time" "I wasn't going to either" she sits on the toilet floor. "Wanna go to the room?" "No I'm a bit dizzy and I feel so faint" "I can carry you" "Ah? except that" King Liam takes her in his arm and places her on the bed. "Happy birthday Aurora" he hands her a box, Aurora looks at it and then opens it, it was a sparkling necklace. "Wow! a necklace?"
"Sire we found his partner" "Who?" "Lady Daniella, Sire it was reported that she..." "What lady Daniella?" "Yes Sire the men reported that she had come around the dungeon twice and also sent her maid too" "Lady Daniella?" "Yes Sire" "Liam, what's is going on?" Prince Edward asked. "What?" he looks surprised. "I heard Aurora was captured, how could that happen in the palace". Prince Edward yells. "What about grandma?" King Liam asks. "I was with her when it happened, she isn't aware," he says. "Okay that's good, she shouldn't until we find the Queen" "How long would you hide it from her?" prince Edward requested. "For that long, if possible." he gives Prince Edward a blank expression. "What are you going to do?" "Gather all the head maid" he commands "Yes, Sire." "First I should keep the whole palace silent about this, then find Michael" "What should I do?" Edward ask "Nothing!" "I have to see Daniella." he looks away. "Daniella? w
TWO WEEKS AGO... "Good morning" Aurora opens her eyes to a shiny room, Liam stood by the window in black robes, he looked dazzling, she watched him for a while, his shoulder-length hair danced to the rhythm of the wind and his broad shoulders stood out, she smiled enjoying the premium view, it wasn't all the time she got to see that, Liam hadn't been around for a week, she missed the hell out of him. "You like that?" he said, Aurora got back to her senses, "How did you know I'm staring?" she whined. "My hair could tell me" he teased, "You're so dramatic" "Am I?" he laid beside her, "What did you say?" he pinched her. "Stoop!" she ran away from his touch, Liam pushed her closer to his body, kissing her, "I haven't brushed," she said. "Didn't you miss me?" he says. "Of course I did," she said. "Why are you denying me?" "Deny you what?" "You" he kisses her forehead, heading down to her jaw... Aurora lets out a small moan. "I missed you" she turns him over.
"liam!" aurora heard lisa yelling. "liam?" aurora moves away from his arm. "liam!" she becomes loud "liam you've to come out! are you inside?" lisa yells. "huh? what's wrong?" aurora jumps up from the bed. "what?" liam pulls her back to the bed. "liam, edward has been poisoned!" lisa yells at the door. "i'm sorry your highness, his majesty wouldn't... like to be disturbed." the guards stop her. liam looked at aurora, he laid back down, he didn't even mind. "poisoned? in the palace?" she picks up a robe. "where are you going? get back in bed" "liam?" she called. "what do you want me to do?" he laid on the bed without any emotions. "even if you're king, at least you're human" she brushes. "okay... i would get it" he got up and opened the door. "liam, edward... he's been..." she breaks down. "lisa calm down and talk!" he says, running out of patience. "liam, stop! she is in shock" aurora yelled at him. "lisa, breathe in... what's wrong," he says
"I can't believe him," Aurora says as her voice changes she was about to start crying. Whenever she remembered Michael's love for her back then, she never believed he would be like this, She was scared and trying her best not to show it, Aurora knew Liam wouldn't spare him at all. Michael was foolish, he could escape on his own, and run away from the country or somewhere far but he decided to mess with his King knowing his reputation. Aurora felt bad for him, she tried convincing him to run far but he said he was going to write a letter to her husband asking him for ransom, he repeated he wouldn't leave the country empty-handed he was a sociopath still Aurora tried to talk to him. Whenever she tried Michael would hit her, he didn't want to hear the truth. Two days had passed and Michael didn't offer them any food and only gave them water to drink, Aurora and the others were almost dying but her mother and Lisa tried their best to hold out for Aurora, she was at the edge of lo
