King Alexander’s Pov
The mattress beneath me squeaks and squeals as her tiny figure turns. The princess lays fast asleep next to me – the place where she belongs. No other woman is worthy and beautiful enough to lay in the same bed as I – nor are they worthy enough to set foot within my chamber. Only she, only she is worthy. Only she may lay beside me, be in the same room as I and as well as rule by my side as queen.
But why does she have to be so damn difficult!!! … My thoughts angrily erupt in my head. I feel it’s emotion , bubble up from deep within my sounded thoughts. It grows, rising – traveling from my mind to my hardened heart. She always knew how to make my heart, or what is left of it at least, work. Though my love for her is immense – anger and rage seem to be the only thing that I feel these days. Fury blares from my nose, my eyes mirroring the
Rosemary’s PovA wave of happiness flows through my body – a glorious feeling indeed.“Finally…I am dying…” a peaceful yet exciting thought crosses my mind – the root of my happiness. It is actually quite sad when I think about it ; sad that I once loved life yet now I find happiness in knowing that my life is now coming to an end. I feel my chest collapse and then rise , it repeats this motion and I impatiently wait for it to stop. I feel my eyebrows knitting together in an angered manner ; why won’t I just die?!!!I slowly try to pry my eyes open , knowing that today is sadly not the day I will be meeting my maker. My left eye slowly opens but not to wide as its swollen nature prevents me from doing so. My right eye is completely closed , a slow aching pain emits from it. I see Britney sobbing softly while holding a broom in her hand. I try to open my mouth to call out to her , but my call come
Xavier’s Pov“Hey , maybe now you can go home and propose to your girl..” he says and then leaves the fire place , already collecting his stuff. If only he knew – if only he knew that he is going to lose his queen , he would have killed me already. I am saddened to know that by running away , Rosemary and I will be letting a lot of people down however , she can not stay caged up and treated so poorly either. I turn my head to the sky , and I watch the stars twinkle brightly and I remember the words she had told me the night before I had left.“When ever you might find yourself feeling lonely , Sir Xavier. I want you to look the sky…” her hands slowly reaches out to the sky. We are both laying on the hay , looking at the stars and enjoying each others company – not knowing how long we are going to be apart. “ I want you to look at the stars – even if the sky looks dull and
Xavier’s PovThe trumpets begin to play , as we march towards the castle – the soldiers’ loved one , wives and children , cheer as we make our way through the castles threshold. I took a deep breath in , filling my lungs with the smell of home – Rosemary. My heart leaps for joy as the thought of her wrapped in my arms floods my mind. I feel warm inside when I see how the soldier’s wives rush towards them and jump into their arms – I wonder if I would get an opportunity to see Rosemary do that.“Xavier…” the general comes up to me , singling me out from the rest. He puts his hand out , and I go the same. In a firm grip , he latches onto my foreman in respect. A look of respect and admiration flashes in his eyes.“I have to say this…You held on quite well for these past six months…I must admit we gave you a bit of hard time since you were not one of us , but…you held
Rosemary’s Pov “Come…let me take you inside” before I could start walking , he bends over and carries me like a bride – like his bride. I felt my cheeks heat up and I planted my face to his chest. I was worried that I had been too heavy for him to carry , but he did not seem to be having a hard time. When we get inside the stables , he takes me to the biggest hay stack there and lays me down gently.“I will be right back” he tells me before dashing out of the stables. He returns with Cherrie trailing behind him , before putting her in her stable. He then brings a blanket with him and lays down next to me , and afterwards covering us both with it. We lay there in complete silence , just listening to the rain fall against the stables roof. This silence is so comforting , just being with him brings me so much of peace.“ Rosemary..” he calls to me.“Hmmm…” I answer ba
Alexander’s Pov“ Make sure that the water is at the right heat…” I remind my soon to be wife’s maiden.“Yes sire…” she bows her head respectfully before turning around and dashing out of the room with a bucket in her hand. Tonight I am going to spring some great news on Rosemary , news that we both have been longing for. In three weeks time , we will be wed – and I can fully have her as my wife. Our wedding will be set on my 21st birthday – I was advised to get wed one day after but I honestly could not wait.My mind takes me back to this morning , and how differently she had acted – her stutter was gone , and it felt as if she did not care. Sadly , a part of fearing is caring ; so I was taken back by her demeaner. However , I came to a conclusion that she was quite upset at what happened three nights ago.“Fuck…” I mutter under my breath as
Rosemary’s Pov“You did not answer me…” he reminds me , while getting into bed.“Huh?” I question back , not sure as to what he meant.“Was it pregnant?” he asked once more. I knitted my eyebrows together as his question was somewhat vague.“What are you talking about?” I watch him rub his forehead with his fingers , while mumbling profanities under his breath.“Woman , was that damned horse pregnant like that maiden had said this morning” he grinds his teeth in annoyance.“Ooh…” I now know what he refers to…but…what do I tell him? I try to think quick for a good response that might not result in him finding out it was a lie later on.“Oh, sadly no…Luckily , I had went to make sure – the horse had just had indigestion and due to it’s bloating , she looked like she was pregnant – ther
Alexander’s Pov“He wants extra eyes on her lately due to the return of her protector – apparently , a soldier from her kingdom had accompanied her to ensure her safety but the king has been parniod that he might help her escape so he sent him out with a troop to stay away from six months for so” little did he know that he was talking about me.Rat bastard… No wonder he entrusted this important mission for us.“Now the king birthday is three weeks from now , and so he plans to wed the poor girl on his birthday…I swear , he is beyond evil…”“Do all the people have the same thoughts and feelings as you regarding the king?” I question.“Yes! In our own sly way , we try to make the queen happy or comfortable without facing punishments from the king…” he says to me. We stay quiet for a while – my mind trying to calm me down fro
Xavier’s Pov“ It has come to my attention that the king had sent out our troop for six months with to safeguard the princess from escape. He had come to know that I was going to help her escape sooner or later and decided to send me out – he stripped me of my rank for that trip , so that I would have had no authority to get us all back” he bows his head down , letting his gaze fall to his boots as if he feel humiliated. Does he feel humiliated for getting his title stripped , or for not helping her escape?“Then…why –“ I am cut off by him.“- why he calls us back to the kingdom? Why he is so confident that I will not try to let her escape now?” I nod my head , gesturing that those were my questions.“Simple. In three weeks time , I am sorry to say but Rosemary will be getting wed to that monster…” my hands start to form a fist , my nails digging deep into my
Rosemary’s Pov“I will eat later…” I say softly , offering him a smile. He exchanges a look with Xavier , but I do not stay for the lectures that I know is coming. Instead I walk to the entrance and sit on the floor in a crossed legged position – my eyes fixated on the fiery red flames that almost touches the sky. I sit out there for a while , enjoying the peace of being alone. At this moment , all I ever want is to be alone. I would often feel my stomach kick me with hunger , as my nose smelt the food that was cooking but I easily turned my attention back to the burning kingdom.Eventually after a while , I hear footsteps nearing me – I do not take notice of the person who takes a seat next to me and the masculine scent that enters my nose accompanied by the delicious smell of food , I come to a conclusion that it is Xavier with a plate of food.“Here…” he brings a spoon full of the bowls content to my mouth , and at first I refuse it but eventually I had given in to it’s scent and o
Unknown PovI stand in the safety of my own little hide away – a cave residing in a mountain. Most people will just pass by it , not even attempting to climb this death trap of a rock. Even if people did try to find me , they would not know where to look for I have many places like this one. Honestly speaking , finding a witch is hard mission it is a even harder mission when your husband rules the land….or well…ruled.I sit on the floor , feeling the earth’s energy being absorbed by my own tired one – my exhausted energy feeds off the earth , like a parasite sucking the energy from mother nature to ensure my own survival. I do not do this often , because well…I am capable of thriving on my own but the events recently have been draining more and more out of me.I lay my palms flat against the floor and feel my sobbing and sadden heart being filled with hope and love that the earth provides for me. The sadness drips down my face in the form of tears , it is as if the positive energy is
Alexander’s PovPresent The sun begins to set – it’s once harsh rays now paint the sky with a colour so beautiful that even I would forgive it for it’s tormenting heat that it had shining down upon us for so many days and nights. I stand upon a hill , over looking to yet another kingdom I have conquered. I watch as my men in the distance , as they pour oil onto the kingdom’s walls – soaking everything around it as well. I felt especially thrilled when I see them leaving trails of oil around the ‘famous’ garden every one gawks over.After they are all done , they all travel as quick as can be to where the rest of us stand. The night sky is particularly beautiful today ; could it be that the heavens are rejoicing for their many new arrivals or could it be the calm before the storm? I take a deep breath , breathing in the various scents of disappointment , anger , death and smoke.
Alexander’s Pov“You mean , the future king of this kingdom…” he says with a smirk on his face.“ His a stable boy – royalty does not flow through his veils…” I state , grinding my teeth.“I mean what did she even see in that low life – I am the real deal…I am the one with power!!” I state , hearing my loud voice echo in this empty hall.“ Guess he has power now…” I can not help myself , another fist comes into contact with the king’s face. The white veil that I have wrapped around my fist is stained with his crimson blood.“For fucks sake!!” He yells after spitting some blood from his mouth.“ They both married now , so fucking get over it! Just leave us , leave her and every one in this kingdom and go live your own life in your own kingdom!!” He snaps at me , however his voice also sounded as if he wa
Rosemary’s PovXavier and I are sitting at the main table , next to my father while the guests eat and rejoice on our wedding day. Every once in a while , some one will come up to the table and present us with gifts. I let out a sigh of content and bliss , as I interlock my fingers with Xavier’s under the table. This seems perfect , just the way I always imagined it. It almost does not feel like a psychopath is looking for us right now. For the first time in days , I feel this relaxed. My father tabs his cup with his fork , silencing the crowd before he spoke.“ To my baby girl and my son in law” he raises his glass filled with what I suspect is alcohol.“ I never thought any man would be worthy for my baby girl , but I am glad that I had handed her over to you – no man could love her more than you can and I know , it is for this reason that you will always protect her and keep her safe…” my fathe
Xavier’s Pov“Will you…please marry Rosemary!!!?” he blurts out.“Wha–“ I am beyond shocked right now , and I am sure that he notices my confusion as he nervously laughs. His nervous laughter soon dies down and he walks up to me , he places his hand on my shoulder before he speaks.“Do you love my daughter?” he ask me , his voice serious and stern.“More than anything in this world…” I reply without even thinking.“And I know that she loves you too… If Rosemary stays with me , I will have to get her married to a prince – I know this will break her heart. However , now that she can not stay with me , marriage is not an option for her” he says , with tears slowly gathering in his eyes.“ I can not imagine how she will survive , running from place to place – as a father I am worried sick for her. However , if you two m
Ally soldier’s Pov As I sit there , deep into thought I see something particular far away. There is a speck of light , two specks of light that emits from a lantern – I assume. I watch as it moves in a slow and steady pace , I try my best to see who it is but it is to far for me to see. Something tugs at my brain , it tells me that it is the four escapees . Instantly I see the lights die off , the specks have been put off as if someone did not want to be seen.“He was right…” I whisper to myself thinking back at what the king had said in the meeting room. I realised that it was the indeed the four , and at first I was quite impressed by their plan. However , I felt helpless as I know that they are heading to their doom.“ See anything?” I jump to my feet , startled by his deep dark voice. The king stands next to me , overlooking the area with me.“Sire!” I say in sudden shock , stand
Rosemary’s Pov“Rose , rose…” I hear my name being called and his hands gently shaking me awake. I slowly opened my eyes and am blinded by the sunlight that penetrates my eyes.“Good morning…or should I say good afternoon…” chuckles , before placing a tender kiss on my cheek. My eyes fly open at the mention of it being the afternoon , did I really sleep for the entire day?!“Afternoon?” I ask him.“ Yes , the sun is going to set in a while” he chuckles again while looking ahead of him.“Alright , we can stop here for a bit – Xavier , get some sleep” I see Andrew helping Britney off the horse. Soon after Xavier does the same for me.“I can’t…the girls…” he tries to reason with Andrw but the stubborn soldier is not having none of it.“ You need sleep…we both do&helli
Rosemary’s Pov“ What’s wrong…You look like you need daddy’s help…” I tightly squeeze my thighs together trying to stop the now desperate need that my sex has.“Daddy…” I found my self calling him that in a low whisper filled with desperation.“Please….help….” I plead with him with no shame. I feel his lips smile as it brushes against my own , however , in the next second his lips smash onto my own. I moan softly as I am completely engulfed by the feel of his lips , his scent that swarms around me , the feel of his hands softly gripping onto my hair and the soft moans that escape his mouth.Our moment was quickly ruined by a horse neighing loudly – we split apart and raising to our seats thinking it is one of Alexander’s men but relaxed a bit when we saw it was only Andrew. I had to ignore the ache I had between my legs and pretend that we
