By Order of the King Chapter 33
The next day late in the afternoon, Hector's two men returned from the King's castle, where they had gone to deliver the message Hector had written to him.As soon as Hector saw them, he rose from the shade of the apple tree where he was sitting and approached them."Well?" he asked them.The men gave him a broad smile."The king gave us an answer - an order as he called it. He didn't seal it because he wants you to read it too before handing it over," the man told him as he got off the horse. He opened the leather pouch on his saddle and took out a rolled-up papyrus. "Here it is. This is the King's decision,” he said to Hector, handing it to him.Hector took it in his hands and opened it. He read it quickly and smiled.After what he had read, he immediately forgot the sleepless night he had spent."Where are the carriages and carts?" he asked them."They're on the road, they're on the way. We just moved faster to inform you. The carriages and carts will not come here to the village,

When Skye finished reading she took a deep breath and looked at him."Can such a thing be done?" he asked him showing the scroll she was holding."For the king to say so, it can be done," he answered her calmly. "What is your opinion, though?" he asked her.Skye rolled up the papyrus carefully and held out her hand to return it to him. Hector reached out to grab it, and for a fleeting moment, his fingers accidentally touched hers.Hector was close enough to hear her small, sharp intake of breath. Skye lowered her gaze and fixed it on the ground.He smiled seeing her cheekbones having a sudden flush of a pale pink color.Although his touch was fleeting on her fingers she felt their warmth like a wave washing over her. The heat had gathered mostly in her face which felt it burning. When the heat from her face receded, she felt safe and looked up to face him."You asked my opinion, right?" she asked, looking him straight in the eyes.Hector nodded. "Yes, I did.""Since it's the king's or

Hector knocked on the door and waited patiently.The door opened, and one of the maids appeared in the opening. Her eyebrows rose at seeing all these men on the doorstep."How can I help?" she asked. Her voice tremored.The bottom of her skirt was wet, and in her hands, she was holding a wet cloth that she was mopping the living room floor with when the door knocked, and she went to open it."I want to speak to Lord Malcolm." Hector answered. "Can you call him?"The maid swallowed hard, clutching the wet garment in her hands. She looked behind her anxiously, but there was no one to be seen."Um… I- I'm not sure if he's here," she responded.Hector looked at her and narrowed his eyes. What did she mean she was not sure? Was she trying to cover for him?“How come you're not sure if he's here or not? Are you covering for him?" he asked bluntly, leaning darkly toward her.The maid took a step back, and her face paled. Her breaths became rapid."Come on, Hector, stop it, you're scaring her

The door slammed, drawing the attention of the men who, up until that moment, were commenting on everything that had happened in the castle, while at the same time, they were busy tending to the horses. All eyes were on her, and Skye wasn't used to that. She had never wished to attract attention, especially from men. And now six heads had turned to look at her, freezing her in place. She looked at them, forcing herself to smile. Hector's heart slammed at the sight of her and he felt his legs melting. Oh my God! That flush that crept across her cheeks, made his heart bloom like a rose, as her cheeks had bloomed now. An irresistible force drove him across the stone path that led to the door of the house and near to her. Approaching her, he placed his hands behind his back and held them tightly, fighting the urge to reach for her. Skye watched him come towards her. His eyes never left hers, not for a moment, and Skye couldn't take hers from his, it was as if a magnetic force had lock

The sun had risen in all its shape and brightness. The women in the house were already awake, and Talisha was helping Delma prepare breakfast for everyone.Skye was sitting at the table with a mug of hot tea in front of her.She couldn't drink it hot, so she braided her hair until it cooled down a bit. She had parted her hair in the middle and brought it to the front right and left of her head, using a small old hand mirror attached to a wooden box. She had watched Maysie make them so many times that she had learned how to do it herself."They are very beautiful," Maysie told her when Skye had finished, and she had taken the mirror to look at them closely, turning her head a little to the side right and left.She turned her eyes to her. "I had a good teacher," she replied, and Maysie laughed."Breakfast is almost ready," Delma announced. “I need one last ingredient. Skye?” addressed to her."Can you please go to the herb garden and get me marjoram and mint?"Skye looked at her. "Do yo

Delma walked to the end of the path and looked around to see if the men had returned, but no one was there.She continued to the apple orchard, wondering what her next move would be. She couldn't decide if she would go near Hector or not. She didn't know what she would face. What if he slept naked? Although it was something that ruled it out, it crossed her mind that she might not find him in a decent state, and they would both be in an awkward position. No, she didn't want that. Mainly for Hector than for herself.So she decided what to do so there would be no problem.She moved a little further and began to call him. “Hector, Hector. Where are you?"She called him a few more times until she got a response."Just a minute, I'm coming." Hector answered.Delma smiled and shook her head. She decided not to tell him anything about Skye so as not to disappoint him.She saw him approaching her, laden with his bedding."What happened?" he asked."Were you still asleep?"Hector nodded. "I r

They had finished eating, and Delma was clearing the table. “Until Talisha and I clean up, why don't you three go outside for a walk? Maysie needs to start walking, but not on her own yet. "It's such a lovely day today, I am sure you will enjoy it." They agreed and went out for a walk. "Hold me by the waist for support, Maysie." Hector urged her. Maysie obeyed, though she didn't feel comfortable with that at first. Her hesitation lasted until she wrapped her arm around his waist and realized Hector was right. She felt safer using her shaky legs. A stitch of jealousy shot through Skye's heart, and she closed her eyes tightly for a moment. Is it possible that she was jealous of Maysie? She took Maysie's free hand and squeezed it in hers. No, she wasn't jealous of Maysie, but Maysie's arm enveloped Hector's waist. She took a deep breath and wished it was her hand around his waist. She bit her lower lip. What was she thinking? That was foolish of her, as Hector had no desire for he

It was early afternoon when they arrived at the castle the next day.The previous night, they had stopped to rest and sleep.Men were divided into pairs for being on the lookout. There was a pair change every two hours.In the morning, Skye had woken up more tired than she had gone to bed. She hadn't slept well last night. She wasn't used to sleeping outside, and the slightest noise woke her.And she remembered very clearly that whenever she opened her eyes during the night, she noticed that Hector was nearby, sitting close to the fire or leaning against a nearby tree.His eyes were always turned towards the side where the women were sleeping.Each time Skye closed her eyes feeling safe.Hector and his men led their horses to the stables so they could be cared for by the stablemen.Skye and Maysie were left in the care of the servants and maids.After the greetings and broad smiles of welcome, one of the maids led Skye and Maysie to the chamber where Skye lived."Finally!" Skye sighed

"Wait, Toren," Malcolm called, but Toren continued without looking back.Fiona leaned out the carriage window, her eyes narrowing. "What should we do now?" she asked her husband, her voice tinged with frustration."Moving on alone is our only option," Malcolm said, pressing his lips together thoughtfully."Let's move on, then. The noise here is dizzying," she said, squeezing her temples with a pained expression.Around them, the square buzzed with activity. Merchants hawking their goods, horses clattering on cobblestones, and the distant melody of a street musician's lute created a cacophony. The air was thick with freshly baked bread, mingling with the earthy aroma of vegetables and the tang of salted fish.Several moments passed without the carriage moving. Fiona glanced at Iona, her jaw clenched. "What is your father doing?" she asked, her voice tight."I don't know," Iona shrugged, her eyes wide with uncertainty."Stay here. I'll see what's happening," Fiona said, pushing the carr

Iona looked at her mother as she approached. She stood up, clutching the fabric of her skirt in her fists. Fiona was unhappy with the situation, her eyes wide, face red, and lips pursed."Oh, mother, I hope nothing went wrong in there . . .""Did you hear how he talked to me?" Fiona hissed at a low volume, interrupting her as if she hadn't heard anything she had said."He is uncouth, rude, and a boor," she continued in a low yet intense voice. Fiona paced back and forth; every time she turned, she violently kicked back her skirt as it gathered around her legs."Mother, please remain calm. You're right, but they must not perceive your anger. Remember, we rely on them. We must not upset them, or they might leave."Fiona stopped short in front of her, very close to her face. "I know," she replied. "That alone prevented me from causing a scene."A droplet of saliva flew from her mouth and landed on Iona's left cheek, just below her eye.Fiona began pacing back and forth again, and Iona se

Castle Eilean Donan: The UnexpectedThe day started with bleak gray clouds obscuring the sky. As winter approached, the sun had become a rare sight, and the chill in the air grew increasingly biting. Fiona held Iona by the shoulders, tightening her grip as Malcolm rode through the castle courtyard door. The echoing of the horse's hooves on the hard ground slowly faded. "Be careful," Fiona whispered. Tears welled as she watched him cross the narrow bridge connecting the castle to the mainland. They stood there until his figure disappeared behind the trees. "Let's go inside, mother. I'm frozen," Iona complained, clutching her cape tightly to protect herself from the cold wind."Yes, let's go," Fiona agreed. They headed towards the large wooden door, which was wide open, waiting for them. Fiona shut the heavy door and wiped the tears from her eyes. What would she do without Malcolm? He was left alone, unaccompanied. If he was attacked on the street, he could hardly get through on his o

Eilean Donan Castle: Iona's RegretMeanwhile, Malcolm's family endured a miserable life at Eilean Donan Castle. It was a daily struggle for everyone, especially Iona, who regretted hastily throwing away the broken glasses. Now, she also had to assist with the daily chores.Two days later, after disposing of the shards of glass, the doctor concluded that the wounds were healing normally. He assured the parents that the little girl would be fine before leaving, annoyed by their exaggerated urgency compared to more serious incidents.A few days ago, when she expressed her desire to destroy Skye by taking her husband, Iona believed they would quickly leave the castle. She was convinced that her parents also wanted to take revenge for everything that had happened to them because of Skye. Still, much to her great dismay, things differed from what she had in mind. Days passed without her father telling her anything about this issue.What the hell was going on? She had to learn. Her thoughts

Eithne studied Hector, her gaze lingering on the contours of his face. His features were familiar—the strong jawline, the scar that traced a jagged path across his cheek. She furrowed her brows in concentration, trying to pinpoint the change. "Hmm... Anything different about Hector?" she muttered as she observed him."No," Eithne concluded, shaking her head. I don't see anything different.""Oh, come on, Eithne. Focus. It's impossible to miss it, trust me," Skye urged her.Eithne looked at Hector once more and sighed in defeat. "I really don't see anything different, Skye. Please, just tell me.""Okay, he's not wearing his mask," Skye exclaimed."Oh! That's right. Maybe it's because I've been seeing him without a mask for years and I didn't realize it now. He only started wearing a mask recently." Eithne said.Skye raised her eyebrows. "Oh, really? It's only been for a while? And why is that?" She turned and looked at him."For you." Hector answered.His unexpected answer caught her

"Talisha, finally!" Hector said as he stood up. Skye rose beside him."Oh, my beloved ones!" Talisha exclaimed, joining her palms in a prayer position at the height of her chest. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. "I am so happy to see both of you together! Based on your faces full of happiness, I assume everything is going well between you," she said, gazing at them.A smile graced their faces. "Yes, everything is fine." They replied, even though it was obvious that Talisha was aware of everything. Most likely, she was seeking confirmation of what she had heard.How? Wasn't it already obvious? Only one person could tell. "Oh, Maysie!" Skye thought."Do you know where Maysie is, Talisha?" Skye asked her."Yes, she is in the kitchen. She helps out there.""You already knew what was going on, right Talisha?" Hector asked. "Maybe from Maysie?"Talisha looked at Skye. "Yes," she replied, "but please, Skye, don't scold her for spoiling your joy by saying the news before you do. Her exci

Skye furrowed her brows in bewilderment. When did this happen? And where was she? Maybe it was during the days they were apart? One of the days he spent with Eithne? She shook her head in the negative. No way, that's out of the question, because when she saw him standing outside her door, he didn't look like someone who had recently met the best day of his life.Then, which day did he mean? Did it occur before they were apart? But if that were the case, wouldn't he tell her? Sure, he would, but maybe he forgot to say to her. Ugh, she couldn't make sense of it. Her mind had become a tangle of assumptions.She studied his expression more carefully, hoping to draw a better conclusion.He folded his arms across his chest and observed her ever-changing expression. He was sure that something was brewing in her mind.Skye didn't draw any conclusions from his manner. She chose to stop thinking and let him reveal the information himself. Her heart started pounding; she feared what she was abou

His aroused nature pressed against the center of her femininity, and Skye moaned deep in her throat.His kilt was the only thing that prevented them from becoming one."Just a moment," he whispered, kissing her and pulling away."Where..." she started to complain.Hector stabilized his body with swift movements, placing his knee between her legs.He grabbed the chemise by the neckline and tore it off in one swift movement.Although he aimed to tear it up to the navel, the tearing reached down her belly.Her breasts spilled out. White, round, full and firm. Their pink tops stood erect.Hector groaned. "You are so beautiful," he whispered with his heaven in front of him.Skye noticed his expression, full of lust and craving. Her gaze fell just below his waist, where his kilt showcased a prominent bulge. She felt her cheeks burn at the thought that she was causing this for him.His hands left the torn garment and slid them over her skin - over her belly and stomach, then circled her brea

"What?!" Her eyes widened, "A-are you sure?" she swallowed hard.The corner of his lips lifted. "I am. Are you?""I-I don't think I ever will be," she said, her throat drying and her breath hitching. She balled her hands into fists, trapping fabric from the sheet."But I've explained it to you," Hector said."I-I know." she stammered."So, shall I guess that you don't believe me?""I do believe you, Hector. But it is beyond my strength. I can't control it.""I'll help you with that. I will make you forget it completely," he said, then softly kissing her. He moved down on her chin and throat, where he found the spot of her pulse, and pressed his lips to it more. Her pulse kicked his lips, and he felt it as it began to pick up speed.A sweet euphoria filled his heart, knowing that her heart had also made room for him.He kissed the spot gently and moved downward, his fingers tracing the smoothness of the bare skin at her neckline and moving to her breasts. His fingertips traced the outl
