Claiming His Queen Chapter 204
LILY My consciousness began to stir, and my lids reluctantly fluttered open, catching the fluorescent glow close to the dressing mirror in front of my bed. Seeing Adler seated silently in the dark, facing the mirror and cleaning a gun with a small torch, the scale left my eyes, and I sat up, letting the covers drop to my waist. Since the confetti bomb attack three days ago, he had been a shadow of himself, gazing into space when he was with me, and when we embraced, he did it like it was going to be the last time he would see me. Also, he refused to tell what exactly had occurred that night. When he did, it was to loosely explain that he had overreacted. Which I knew he hadn't. Kyra refused to tell me a thing, and Adler made sure Rune was nowhere close to me to spill the truth. But I noticed that the soldiers that roamed the Manor's compound had doubled, and when Adler wasn't around for the night, a couple of them stood by my door, refusing to say a thing even when my eyes d

ADLER"Did you miss me? Cousin?" Last night, while Rune stood out of breath, unable to input a word, Kyra narrated their ordeal.For the first time in his life, he had found something unbelievable. which in their world wasn't even a thing.But now, seeing Ruslan posing in front of him after finding out they shared an ancestry felt natural, like something he could believe, and so he did. Sat before the computer stared ahead and said nothing.Ruslan's lips quivered slightly as he remarked, "Not quite the welcome I anticipated, but I'll accept it. Aren't you curious how I managed to survive?"Yeah, he wanted to know. How it fucking happened. Even if the stab hadn't killed him, the cliff was supposed to. If the cliff hadn't, the water should have. Was this just his bad luck? Or Ruslan's good luck?Ruslan leaned towards the screen, a palm supporting his chin; he whispered, "One secret: a noble's Katana can't kill him. You didn't deserve to hold it. It didn't deserve the desecration.""T

"Good evening, ma'am," Laron murmured in pain and winced. He clutched at his arm and shut his eyes.Rune immediately crouched before him, holding his shoulder and then letting the boy's face fall against his chest. The boy's breath was heavy and cracked. When Rune touched hiss chest, he yelped.Rune looked at Kyra, "He got beaten up." he was sure she could see that from his torn and dirty clothes, but she wouldn't know there were a few bones broken. Did they still beat up children this badly?"We need to take him to the hospital," Kyra said.But Laron shook his head with effort, "No, not hospitals. He'll find me and kill me.""Who are we talking about?""..... He says a wig was found in the pub and traced it to you people. " Laron opened his eyes, "I broke my arm as I tried to get away from him. Hurts like a bitch... ""Hey, watch your tongue now." Rune narrowed his eyes at him, but the boy only gave another lazy grin and snuggled further into his chest."We just have to find him a h

LILY'S POVWith my hips, I pushed the door close, turned in the locks, and rested my back against it.Turning to him, I tilted my head to the side, "Have you been avoiding me, Adler?"He opened his mouth to speak, shut it back up, sighed, and massaged his temples, "I got too occupied. I'm sorry I could have said something.""Is that so? I caught you a couple of times watching me from the window, so maybe you should have said something then. " I raised a brow at him.With the way his face fell, I got the answers I wanted. Not that it was hard to decipher. He didn't want to face it. The guilt on him said it all.I let my eyes run over his body; yeah, that didn't look like anyone who was occupied. I began to stroll towards him. "Nonna came around. Demands a ritual for the baby a month after it's born .""What did you say?""Yes," I stood before his desk and placed my hand on its surface, "Is there something you want to tell me?"He stared at my pupils, and right there, I felt like I was

LILY"Laron, stop asking questions about guns and stop bothering that man," I yelled, but he touched the goon's gun's butt, and they both gave me a smile.From what I could hear of the little excerpts, the boy was asking how much it cost, "Life done teach him a lot," Nonna whispered, watching as he looked up at the goon once more. "That boy will be the death of you."We were strolling through the manor compound, courtesy of Nonna, who had decided that staying alone in the manor would be bad for the baby's pregnancy.Laron had initially followed us, but after some time, he became bored and limped away. If that was Adler's reason for wanting the pregnancy to be a girl, I think I was on board. Hopefully, she didn't have a bite of Kyra, which would be ten times worse.And was not I relieved Kyra did not read minds?"How is Adler?" Nonna asked."He does sound fine." She looked at me, puzzled, and I explained, "I have not seen him in a few days, Nonna." I hoped my smile was genuine enough.

I was awake when he opened the door at one in the morning, squinting against the bright lights that shone down on me as I ogled him with my eyes.He had taken the time to clean up before he walked in, as evidenced by his damp hair, despite being dressed in a plain turtle neck long-sleeved shirt and tailored pants.Puzzled eyes fell on me with a slight frown, the questions in his eyes refusing to leave his lips, and I did a quick twirl with the flowery white gown I was wearing and grinned, "Do you like it?""Yeah," he answered, stepping into the room and shutting the door behind him, "It's just, it's one, and that's not your nightie, and why is a veil over your face?"I took the remote from the dressing table and pressed a button, watching his face as the tune of 'Here Comes the Bride' filled the room. He raised an exhausted brow at me, and almost instantly, it dawned on him."You can't be serious." He laughed.Dropping my bouquet on the table, I picked up the rings I had ordered a wee

"Did he just say 'Good day to you, Lily'?" Rune inquired, sitting across from me in a chair while I lounged on the bed. "Surely, there's more to his call than that."Well, it wasn't all...***"... how did you get my number—what the hell do you want?""Easy, easy now. One question at a time. Concerning how I got your number: you should put a leash on your cousin. His obsession is getting crazy." he laughed, sending a cold chill down my spine, "Now to the question: what do I want? I don't even know."I'm standing in an open space, a hundred steps away from Nonna, talking to a man who was once on the verge of killing me."Oh, oh, I remember," he grunted, "Gradually losing hold of my sanity. Now that I think of it, did I ever have it?"And rapidly, I found anger replacing my terror: anger at everything he had put me through in the guise of playing a game, anger at the life he ruined."What do you want, you son of a bitch?"The other end of the call went silent for a few seconds, and when

RUNE"In this school, we prioritize parents' involvement in their child's life. Occasionally, you must attend extracurricular activities like sports days and school plays. We'll notify you in advance so you can plan your schedule. Your participation is important for your child's development and to foster community. Any questions?"Rune slowly raised his right hand, and the head teacher, a plus-sized woman he suspected was in her fifties, lowered her glasses to the bridge of her nose, " Yes, Mr Rune?""When you say occasionally, you mean...""Once a week. " His chest tightened. Coming down here and pretending he was a father to a kid who was probably street smarter than him was already hard enough.Kyra, although seated next to him, hadn't imputed a word to the conversation. Her black bob wig and nude-colored wig gave her the aura of a working wife. The smile she gave Laron constantly before calling him honey gave her bonus points.She was best suited for this conversation; two hours
