View More‘He’s doing way much better’‘Masoma said he would be fine by tomorrow morning. He’s the King and an Alpha, he has better healing abilities than anyone’That was what Serena had told me but I needed to see him for myself. I needed to make sure that he was alright. So I pretended to sleep first, waiting till Serena and Julianna were fast asleep, their breathing even, before I got up from my bed and sneaked out of the room. I walked silently along the corridors, inwardly praying that I wouldn’t meet a guard on the way and that Jonathan would be alone.Not that I was happy that the Moon goddess heard my prayers but I didn’t meet a single guard on the way and by the time I got to Jonathan’s room, I placed my ear on the door to listen if there was anyone in the room but it was an eerie silence that greeted me. I pushed the door slowly and peeped into the room, Jonathan was laying on his bed fast asleep and there was no one else in the room. I closed the door behind me and I tiptoed towards
As I walked back to the palace, I paused and stared at the sky. It was full of stars and the moon was round and full illuminating everywhere. It was a beautiful sight and I shook my head before I slowly made my way back to the palace.Listening to Juniper talk about the fact that the person he was in love with was in love with the king broke my heart and what broke my heart even more was hearing him say that she might be forced onto Jonathan as his Queen, his Luna. My ears had prickled at the thought. My mind went back to the conversation I and Juniper had and I swallowed.“Have you tried speaking to her? Telling her about your feelings?” I asked and Juniper laughed.“That should be so funny to you, Ami. You want me to tell one of the high chief's daughters that I am in love with her” Juniper replied before chuckling, “No. Even a mad person won’t do that. I’m a slave Ami, we are slaves. We don’t get that kind of life well except it’s another slave I’m falling in love with” he added an
I walked out of the palace, the sun rays falling on me and making me furrow my eyebrows in displeasure. Masoma apologizing to me wasn’t something I had seen coming, her apology in truth was late but I knew deep down that I needed it. I knew that I needed her to apologize, to tell me that she was wrong in the first place for slapping me, treating me like that and taking the side of everyone else. I wanted her to admit that she was wrong and when she finally did, the only thing it made me feel was relief and nothing else. I wasn’t more happy or excited nor did I want to even rekindle our relationship. I wasn’t interested in making any new friends ro restoring the ones I had lost. I walked straight ahead to the Kitchen.I needed to ask juniper a few things. Like what might have gotten the king sick, Juniper had a flair for gossip and he always knew things that happened. I was already used to that so whenever I had a pressing issue, he was my go-to person.I had tried to check up on Jonat
It took one conversation for me and Jonathan to get back on friendly terms with each other. And just like that, we were back to before where we talked like friends and even joked together. My radiance was slowly crawling up my face and it was so funny and interesting to see another side of Jonathan. A side that not a lot of his people had seen or will even see. I know that he cared for me, even though it was just a little bit, it showed in his everyday life and how he treated me and I knew that he wasn’t lying when he said that he hated me.We had gone past that.But I hadn’t. I was yet to go past that. The truth was there and so was the reality. I still remembered what Juniper had told me about his parents, how they had died one after the other and how Jonathan had locked himself up with their corpses for two weeks straight. He was still a very young boy back then and I wondered how the young boy would have felt seeing his parents die and all of his emotions, how it would have been
Waking up the next morning with a heavy heart was expected. It took me a long time to dress up and by the time I got to the entrance of the King’s room, I paused slightly. I had to deal with Jonathan again.Taking a deep breath; I slowly knocked on the door and drifted into my ears. I pushed the door open to see that Jonathan was on the floor doing pushups with one hand. One of his hands was behind his back as he lowered himself to the ground over and over again. His upper body, which I had seen so many times, was soaked with sweat and Instinctively swallowed as I watched him.“Should I come back to your highness?” I asked and Jonathan chuckled.“No” he replied as he lowered himself to the ground and upwards a few times before He finally stood up, his whole body drenched in sweat. I stared at his upper body and followed the trail of the sweat as they ended into his trousers. My eyes snapped upwards and meant Jonathan’s amusing eyes, I immediately lowered my eyes.“My apologies, your h
I had told myself that I had made a decision but deep down I knew that I hadn’t but the greater part of me knew that Triss was right. I had to leave, this wasn’t my home and leaving with all of the Berg’s kingdom’s secrets with my head raised high was the best form of revenge that I could do r have but as I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling, I was conflicted and the fact that I was conflicted further even annoyed me more. How could I be conflicted?This was a matter between staying in an enemy kingdom because someone I claimed to love who clearly didn’t love me back was here and saving my people. How could I be conf;icted on what to do?I shut my eyes taking deep breaths over and over again. Seeing Triss had brought the feeling of home back and I missed home. Her words rushed into my head and a small smile slowly formed on my face.Uncle Stefan.My favourite uncle in the whole world. He was one of the few people in the royal family that I was close to and one of the few people
Then I waited.I counted the hours till it was past 10pm. I slowly opened my door and stepped out. Serena’s and Julianna’s voice had long quietened down and I knew that they had gone to sleep. Serena had come in earlier to check on me in the medicine room where I was pretending to work on something when clearly I couldn’t do anything. My chest was in disarray and I could only look forward to seeing my sister. I pulled the cloth on my shoulder upwards and covered my head and my face with it as I hurried down the walkways. I had never been out at this time of the day and because I was too much in an hurry and in distress, I had forgotten to check how the guys patrolled the palace but the truth was that, there were fewer guards patrolling the palace, very few people could dare to attack the king or even try to infiltrate the palace. The Berg kingdom itself was imprentable so there was exactly nothing much to raise their guards against. The Berg kingdom was also deep in the forest, if an
Triss.The realization stunned me so much that I didn’t know that I was frozen on the spot. I stared at the paper and I squeezed it unconsciously. Triss had someone find her way to the Berg Kingdom. Couldn’t believe my eyes. I opened the crumpled paper again and stared at it and the handwriting stared back at me.It hadn’t changed and I knew that I wasn’t wrong. It was Triss’s handwriting. I started walking towards the palace, my heart beating in my chest. Just a few minutes ago, I was thinking that the Berg kingdom was imprentable and yet Triss had done so effortlessly. I didn’t know how long it had taken her to find me or to find someone who would deliver the information to me. I wondered if the person who had squeezed the paper into my hands knew what was in it.Triss.My younger sister had shown her ability again. She had show how stellar of a princess she was. I headed to the medicine room instead of the room because I could hear Serena’s and Julianna’s voices in the room. They
“So have you thought about what you want to do next?” Juniper’s voice infiltrated my thoughts and I chuckled, shaking my head. My eyes went to my wrist and I easily noticed the scars around my wrist had almost slowly faded away. It was almost unbelievable that my little paste had worked. I had made some mre for Serena and Julianna and they had joked about how they might willingly offered themselves to be test subjects.“How are you and the king recently?” Juniper asked again and I met his eyes shrugging.“Very ordinary” I replied and Juniper furrowed his brow, “What do you mean by very ordinary?” he asked and I laughed.“Exactly what it means. There’s nothing special” I replied softly.The truth was that there was nothing special indeed. For some reason, I and Jonathan had returned to our former routine but with less talking. I wasn’t as interested in speaking to him anymore and while he didn’t know why, I knew.I had to get rid of my feelings for him first and while out of sight, out
I gathered my clothes upwards to make walking easier for me. It had been a month since I had arrived in the Elavan Kingdom, and I still had not gotten used to the rough pathways that served as hallways in the palace. It had been one month since I realized that I was going to fail and I hated it. It made me itch and it made me want to scratch my bones.The reason why I was the Elavan Kingdom in the first place drifted into my mind and I swallowed. My job was simple: make the Crown Prince, Karl Collins Edwards, marry me. A simple job that I had failed to do for the past month. As I increased my pace, I remembered standing in front of my father, my head held high, promising him the marriage scroll in two weeks.I also clearly remembered that the ministers in the throne room had clamored that my younger sister be sent instead. She was more beautiful and enchanting than I was. She would get the job easier than she would have but I was adamant on going; my mother’s pleas and reasoning had f...
