Edwina I was laying on the sick bed as usual waiting for sleep to come and also not looking forward to going back to Galentia. But what choice do I have? I am weak and I do not even have a plan on what to do but I know what I want to do. Since Edward is eager to please me and make everything right, I think this is the best time to take advantage of the situation. I will make him my weapon of war just like Damien made me his. I will go back with him to Valencia, but I will not go back as the same Edwina that everyone knew before. I am not weak anymore. Anyone who tries to step on my toe will get exactly what they deserve from me. I regret and curse myself for being stupid all this while but that phase is over now. I was finding it difficult to shut my eyes and sleep. Tonight seems to be a full moon, and for some reason, I want to sit under the moon. In my little lone time, I thought about how I went, begging Marquis for help and I’ll advise me to stay back with him.
Edwina I could see the disappointment etched on Marquis' face. It is quite heartbreaking, But I am in no mood to move on or have a better life. The frivolities of life are meaningless to me now; all I want is revenge. Maybe after I get that, I can find peace, but I know that sitting in some fancy-looking palace with glassy, moisturized skin, dressing like royalty, and being swept away by some man is not the solution I need. It used to be, but now the idea just irritates me. “Why, Edwina, why have you chosen to always reject me? What have I done wrong? What is my offense, Edwina? All I want for you is to have a good life. Is it a crime to be in love with you? This man right here has hurt you several uncountable times, but you still choose to be with him. Is it my fault that I fell in love with you foolishly and refused to see all the red flags even though they kept staring at me right in the face? You have made me look so foolish countless times, but here I am, I keep coming
EdwardI didn’t want Edwina to be here to see all this but with her calm and weak voice, she managed to diffuse the situation. Is it just impossible to see her that way and not listen?She looked tired but beautiful. I can already see the change in her body and skin, she is well-rested and she has been eating well. She is relaxed now that she does not need to run or look at her back from time to time.I just feel terrible As I consider what she has gone through.I didn't make her life any better either as I inflicted more suffering on her.Marquis is here offering her the comfort and support I never had for her. Would you blame her if she took his hand of support?Well, I don’t care what she thinks or what Marquis either. She will not leave me on my watch.Marquis moved closer to her and they began discussing more intimate things. I can hear everything that he tells her and I can hear what she says back to him. If I were to judge, I’d say they were lovers before.It breaks my heart to
EDWINAThe next morning, I woke up to find myself cozy on the bed. I don't remember coming back to the house by myself. I sat up to navigate my environment then one of the guards announced“She’s awake!” And then the healer's apprentice ran to me to clean me up to get me ready for the journey ahead of us.When they were done, they put me in a comfy chariot with Edward Rode and then we departed for Galentia. We did the old man and his home farewell and left.I felt some way about going back to Galentia. This place was supposed to be my home now another woman resides there and therefore she is the queen to be. This is torture for me and if I were my old self, I wouldn’t be able to stomach the thought of it but I didn’t come here looking for love. I only have one focus and when I achieve that, I leave this place for its inhabitants.The ride back to Galentia was a long one but I didn’t feel it because all I did was sleep and eat.Edward became my watch guard, making sure that I was alrig
Edwina“To what do I owe your visit, Rebeca?”Rebecabdiamissed the staff who were attending to me and began pacing around the room.“Edwina! Princess becomes a slave and slave becomes a kidnapper…you are back here again but I don’t see you wearing your maid uniform. You have a lot of chores that you left behind, did you think you could escape them by changing into a rouge? Come on Edwina. I almost didn’t recognize you with your beautiful hello gown. You almost look like royalty again…” she mocked“ oh come on Rebeca, this look doesn’t suit you either! I mostly know you as the bitter jealous bitch, not this charade of sarcasm you’re putting on. I know why you’re here sweetie… you’re here for your man. You’re scared!“Oh shut up Edwina! I know why you’re here. You couldn’t just stay dead? Why the hell are you alive?!” She roared like a mad woman.“I’m here because your man saved me! He wouldn’t let me die in peace. Go and ask him..” I said in an unserious manner because I can’t take Reb
EdwardI knew that I would have to answer a lot of questions from people about my decision to bring back Edwina especially because she didn’t come back as a slave or as a fugitive.Well, I was the one she hurt and if I decided that she was innocent, they would have to accept it like that.I couldn’t wait to see Edwina come back to herself, but I knew that it would take a lot of work and I was willing to do just that. The next time I have to face Damien, it will be for his death.He is the common enemy, who is standing between me and Edwina. He’s also the barrier in our relationship. I need to prepare for that. I need to win back Avaor for Edwina, that is the only reason why she’s here with me and I can never let her down. I will make sure she gets back her kingdom, and when she does that, she can decide what she wants to do with me.I am in a better mood since I realized that Edwina didn’t do what we all thought she did, this means that we could become friends again, or even more than
EdwardMy thoughts traveled so far after I heard Rebecca’s voice, but then I had to bring myself back to the present.“Hi Rebecca I’m sorry that I didn’t have time to talk to you yesterday. Edwina was in a very bad state and I needed to take care of her but it is nice to see you. I hope you’re well?” I ask.“ I am well my king, I just wanted to have a word with you. I can see that Edwina is back here in Galentia but I want to know what she has come back as?”I quickly cut her short."Oh about that, I am going to announce the whole kingdom later today on Edwina’s innocence. She never had anything to do with the death of my mother.Neither did she have anything to do with Damien; she was just a victim of Damien‘s spiteful games. Would you believe that Damien killed her and her father on their way back from Galentia three years ago?Damien didn’t stop there, he held her mother hostage and used the situation to make her desperate and this was why she called for our help but Damien had oth
EdwardI could see the change in Rebeca’s demeanor as I said those silly words to her.To be honest, that wasn’t my finest moment but what is done is done.“Your majesty, I understand all that you have said and even though I am not pleased with it, I’d listen to you because you are my husband, if not for a little intrusion on our wedding day, we would be married by now. But it is no problem, you’re here now, we can prepare for our wedding again.My father didn’t know about all that happened at our last ceremony because he was on a pilgrimage a week before we decided on the wedding.He knows nothing about all that happened, and I didn’t want us to delay the wedding any further but this time I’ll make sure he doesn’t miss it, Your Majesty. I have heard all that you have said, I’ll think about it but while thinking about that, I want you to also pick a new date for our wedding so that we can begin to prepare.”She said and there we have it. The condition! The one thing she seeks to gain
