RebeccaMy meetings with Elliot started to become more frequent than before, and each day I was excited to see more of him. For a while, I didn’t care about the suitors who came asking for my hand because I knew that my father's answer would remain the same.I did not know what plan Elliot had, and I was also lost, but I was enjoying the moment.During one of our meetings, Elliot asked me what I planned to do when my father finds out about us, and I told him that I did not care.He warned me of the dangerous escapades and the consequences that would follow when my father finally found out, but I told him to hold off the conversation for another day, as I did not want anything to ruin our moment.Elliot was a bit worried for himself because he didn’t belong to any of the popular non-social classes. Also, he has done well for himself, but nobody knows if his name would carry any weight.Father had a lot of connections, and as the king's personal advisor, I did not believe my father woul
RebeccaI was afraid, but I knew I had no choice. The secret was out now, and the best thing was to tell the truth so that we'd know where to go from here.Oh, Father was very, very mad, but I knew he couldn't be mad forever."I said, who is the father of this baby you are carrying, answer me now, Rebecca!" Father yelled, but then tried to keep his voice down because it seemed like he didn't want other people to find out about the situation at hand."It's Elliot's father," I said."Who the hell is Elliot? Which Elliot? There are a lot of idiots in this city. Do you know how many idiots I know? Is it my friend Elliot Maguire, the old man's son?" Father questioned eagerly."No, Father, it's not your friend. It is Elliot, Elliot Lannister," I said, and there was a bit of silence in the room. It seemed the silence was from Father trying to figure out who Elliot Lannister is. I wasn't surprised that he didn't know him, but he was about to find out."I don't know who that is. Who the hell i
Rebecca"The next time I woke up, I felt weak.I woke up from a very scary dream, but when I looked around me, I was relieved to find it was just a dream. As I tried to get up from the bed, I felt even weaker than before.I also felt empty inside.Feeling extremely drowsy, I attempted to stand but ended up collapsing back onto the bed. I couldn't understand what was happening to me.What exactly is wrong with me?The drowsiness wasn't the only issue; I felt blood tickling out from me. Alarmed, I checked my underwear and discovered I was wearing a sanitary towel stained with blood.I couldn't remember putting on the pad, and I was confused why I was having my period when I was pregnant. Struggling to comprehend what is going on with me, I felt something heavy about to come out of me, so I weakly made my way to the bathroom, leaning on the wall for support.I succeeded with the assistance of the wall, and when I sat on the toilet, I felt a huge lump fell out of me.What he hell!I know I
Rebecca:Father wasn't a tad bit remorseful about what he had done to me, and I couldn't understand why he was so heartless."Like I said earlier, you don't need to worry anymore about looking for your husband. All we need to do is to fix you up for your new husband. I have gotten some specialists to take care of you, and in a few months, you'll be a Gallantia," Father said.I was weeping profusely, but when I heard "Gallantia," it took me aback for a moment."Gallantia? Did you say Gallantia, Father?"I wiped my tears for a moment."Yes, we are going to Gallantia once you heal, and you'll be fit enough to represent it royally," Father said, with excitement still etched on his face."What are we going to do in Gallantia? Who are you taking me to?" I asked."Oh, I can see that the vibe has changed now. That's good news."The king of Gallantia needs a new bride because his former bride betrayed him. So, I was able to make a few connections, and trust me, you came highly recommended, so
All of a sudden, the Princess of Avalor stepped in. Of course, she was beautiful, and to top it all off, she was a princess too. I watched King Edward so much that I knew who he had his eyes on.I saw him monitoring Princess Edwina from the moment she stepped into the palace; I saw his demeanor change.His eyes were glued to Edwina as she walked into the palace and to where the ceremony was taking place. I was so annoyed to see this. I looked at Edwina to try to figure out what was so special about her. Yes, she was very beautiful indeed. She was wearing a sky blue dress that hugged her body, defining her every curve. Her hair was blonde and beautiful like the sun. I could see her beauty, and it irritated me that someone could be this beautiful, but it didn't make any sense at all.There were other beautiful women here who were more beautiful than she is, so why was she the only woman who caught his attention?I am also beautiful. Why didn't I capture his attention?Is it because she
Rebecca,Elliot's threats started as something simple, of which I feel guilty about, but his constant persistence made it become irritating. I needed to concentrate on myself. I needed to have my head in one place so as to look awesome for my husband, but Elliot kept getting in the way of that.Father wasn’t aware of the constant notes and threats that I got from Elliot, and I didn’t want him to be, because I was scared of what he would do. But Elliot did not give up. In fact, one day he sent a servant to our castle who disguised as someone who was supposed to bring me supplies for my beauty products.I don’t know what Elliot and the messenger did to the real supplier, but when the servant came in with the product, he also handed me a letter and requested that I read it right there.I was wondering who gave a common servant the audacity to talk to me, but when I opened the contents of the letter, I realized that Elliot was outside the castle waiting for me.I was so afraid, and I did
Rebecca,I got back into my room after I had learned that Father had killed Elliot.With a sigh of relief, I collapsed on the bed. I felt elated and angry at the same time. I realized that I had not seen my personal servant Maria all day, so I called for one of the other maids to fetch her so she could bring me something to eat.Another maid came in with a tray of food, but I didn’t remember asking anyone else to serve my food.“Where is Maria? I haven’t seen her all day, and why are you the one serving my food?” I asked the servant who was present at the moment.“My lady, we haven’t seen Maria all day. We thought she had an errand, and that's what everyone else thought. But when you called for her, we realized she had been missing all day,” the servant said.“What do you mean you haven’t seen her all day? Where could she be if not on the premises of this castle?” I couldn’t understand what was going on.The servant hesitated, but I felt like she still had something to say, and she wa
REDECCAThe next day, we set out to ride for Galentia. I had to pick a new servant who would accompany me on the journey.I chose Sarah, and she seemed to be excited. It's true what they say—sometimes one person's misfortune is another's opportunity.My bag was packed with food for the trip to Galentia, which was about a day's journey. Normally, it would take almost two days using the usual route, but we had the fastest horses, and the road cleared for us. This ensured we faced no danger or delays. All we had to do was ride. When we grew tired, our servants attended to our needs, and guards protected us.Upon finally reaching Galentia, I was filled with excitement. Butterflies fluttered in my belly at the prospect of seeing the beautiful new kingdom of which I would soon be queen.Arriving at the magnificent palace, which resembled more of a grand castle, I was awestruck by its splendor. Towering trees adorned the sprawling compound, while exotic vegetation added an air of enchantment
