His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 39
-Darius-The journey was long, and we had to gather more men along the way. It wasn’t an easy trip. We faced several obstacles. A group as large as ours often attracted unwanted attention from people hoping to profit off us, so we had to deal with them, too. But despite everything, we managed to make it close to the dark side of Adoran. We set up camp on the light side, keeping a safe distance from the darkness.Once the camp was settled, I ensured everything was in order before retreating to my tent to rest after the grueling journey. I needed a moment to collect myself. The Dark Ones would sense the shift in the air. They’d see our camp and know we weren’t just passing through.I leaned on the table in front of me, my hands bracing against its surface, and bowed my head. I took deep breaths, feeling both nervous and determined. Katherine’s words echoed in my mind—her confession of love—and they gave me strength. I knew that when I went into battle, her words would fuel me, replaying

-Katherine-Silver’s birthday arrived, and I missed Darius more than ever. He had been gone for nearly three weeks, and I knew he must have just arrived on the dark side of Adorna.“Happy birthday, my queen,” greeted another princess of Adorna, a young girl from a much smaller kingdom. I could see the disdain in Silver’s eyes. She looked down on her simply for her origins. I stood by Silver’s side, forced to show my support, while she wore her usual red and gold, and I donned black and silver. Her other ladies clustered around her, while Acan laughed and chatted with other lords and princes. Silver was being showered with presents, which were beginning to resemble a small fort behind her. Her boys, clearly bored, spotted the gifts and dashed over, ready to have fun.Silver let out a loud yell just as they were about to open one of the presents, freezing them in their tracks. But what did she expect?“Get over here now!” she commanded.They walked back to her, heads bowed, and I rolled

-Katherine-The night went on, and Silver continued to chat and drink, becoming increasingly tipsy. I stuck to my single cup of wine, even though I would have loved to forget the entire evening. Soon, Silver struggled to coordinate her limbs, and it was clear she was embarrassing herself. I didn’t try to stop her. Instead, I poured more wine into her cup, ensuring it was never empty. Yet I caught the dirty looks from her ladies as they tried to keep her under control.Before long, her loud laughter and shouting drew Acan over. He didn’t look pleased as Silver hung on one of her ladies, talking animatedly and laughing.“What is going on here?” he asked. “Are you drunk?”“Noooo,” Silver slurred, waving her hand dismissively.“We haven’t even danced yet,” he scolded, his voice low.I could see his face reddening as he looked at his inebriated wife. I took a small sip from my own cup.“I can dance!” she declared, flinging her arm out dramatically.“No, you can’t!”I could sense the tension

-Darius-I stood by a large fire while most of the camp slept. We had begun planning our first attack, scheduled for a few days from now. Mostly, Quinn and I had been riding along the border, searching for the best way in, but the forest was dense and vast. There was no apparent weakness, and we would have to take a risk.I had learned that Quinn had earth powers, which would be advantageous in battle, as he could manipulate the ground to shape it to our needs.“Darius,” Quinn called, approaching me.We had grown comfortable around each other, and I had told him to call me by my name. He brought me something to drink, and I thanked him.“Worried?” he asked.“Just thinking.”“You’ve got that worried look on your face.”“Oh, I have a worried look?” I teased.He nodded and took a sip from his cup.“Is the attack not going to go as planned?” he inquired, knowing the other generals were pushing me to execute their strategy.“It is,” I confirmed.“Then what?”“I’m simply wondering if whateve

-Katherine-Dear Katherine,We have just arrived on the dark side of Adorna. I can almost feel its call, and it makes me question whether all my hard work has been for nothing. But I know who I am, and I’m not one of them. I also see that I’m not like the other witches. Like you, I feel stuck in the middle. The generals are resisting me, and some of the men don’t trust me, given my origins and abilities. I try my hardest to keep us strong and united. We must stand together as we prepare for our imminent attack.I’ve been scouting frequently, looking for any weaknesses in the forest, but so far, I haven’t found anything. It worries me. I don’t know how this battle will end, but I hope it will be in our favor so I can come back to you. I miss you. I miss your warmth and your beautiful smile. I miss everything about you. It’s cold at night without you by my side. I can’t wait to see you again.DariusI let the letter fall onto my desk before sitting down to write my response. This was the

-Katherine-The day flew by as I worked with Acan, and he became increasingly chatty the more time we spent together. It was interesting to suddenly talk to him as if we were friends. I had been his wife for so many years, but now I was just his sister-in-law, which shifted the dynamic between us.“So what do you hope for? A boy or a girl?” I asked.“Oh, that’s a tough choice,” he chuckled.Was it? He had two boys, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t actually want a girl.“I’ll be happy no matter what,” he finally answered.I knew he felt he had to say that to avoid trouble.“So, other than working, how do you and Darius spend your time together?” I inquired.“Riding and training,” he replied.“Maybe we should go riding sometime.”I glanced up from my work and saw Acan studying me with an intrigued look in his eyes.“Yes, maybe we should. We haven’t done that much, have we?” he asked.“No, I don’t think so. But that’s because you always spend your time with Darius,” I pointed out.

-Darius-We decided to attack in the middle of the day. Night would grant the Dark Ones too much of an advantage. The large army was gathered on a hill, with me at the front alongside numerous fire and light witches. It was eerily quiet on the day we chose to attack, as if all the animals sensed the impending conflict.I gazed at the dense, dark forest, wondering what life was like within it and how their world operated.“Are we ready?” I asked the fire witch closest to me.“We are, my prince,” he answered.“Good. Then let’s fire it up.”I lifted my hand, and all the witches began conjuring balls of fire and light.“Now!” I shouted.Sitting on my horse, I watched as the fire and light flew toward the forest. But we were all taken aback when the flames failed to even ignite a spark. We watched in disbelief as the fire reached the trees, shimmering and then dissipating without leaving a mark.“What in Adorna’s name?” I whispered.It seemed our plan was completely useless.“I told you we

-Katherine-My Dearest Katherine,The battle did not unfold as I had hoped. We underestimated our enemy, believing they were few in number and engaged in fighting among themselves. How wrong we were. They stand united, skilled in combat, and remarkably resilient. Though they may appear barbaric, they are far from it. They are clever—far more clever than I ever anticipated. Now, I find myself at a loss. I fear for my own safety and that of my men. Their doubt weighs heavily on me, and I dread the thought of failing to protect them. Each life lost demands a scapegoat, and I’m that target. I will bear this burden willingly if only I knew how to save the rest. Yet, I am uncertain if victory in this war is within our grasp.You should have seen the dark wave approaching us. It felt as though we were all doomed. I desperately hope we are not. I pray daily for a way back to you, for a solution to our plight. Time is fleeting, and I must act soon. I must show them I am still fighting, even whe

His Unbeloved Queen Epilogue
-Darius-My beautiful queen came over to me, kissing me before sitting down beside me. Years had passed since we ascended the thrones and began ruling together, although my wife did most of the governing. The way she spoke to the people and connected with them was something I could never replicate. But over time, they had grown less afraid of me and more accepting.Therefore, we often ventured into the city together, walking among the people and ensuring they saw us. We brought all the kids with us as well, but they were nearly filling the entire table at our meals now. Silver’s and Acan’s boys had initially been sad about their parents, but we never fully disclosed our involvement in their fate, only that their parents had died due to the mob. They moved on quickly, and when the line of succession changed, I noticed a sense of relief in the eldest boy. He didn’t want to be king, and now he could enjoy his life as a prince.Katherine and I loved them as if they were our own sons, provi

Darius and I had traveled quite a distance with our prisoners. We knew exactly who to hand them over to, and now we stood in the middle of the night with a single torch, a few guards, and Silver and Acan before us, tied up and shivering uncontrollably. Their clothes were filthy, their bodies dirty after days spent in the dungeon. We had waited until things calmed down a bit before bringing them here, and now we were simply biding our time.“It’s been a while, prince,” the leader of the Dark Ones said as he emerged from the forest.He seemed to be alone, but I sensed he was not. His dark eyes focused on me, filled with joy.“I finally meet her,” he said.I smiled at him, and he returned the gesture before his eyes shifted to the king and queen before us, tied up and gagged.“Oh, a present. I didn’t bring anything for you,” he mocked.“Better work quickly,” Darius informed him. “We’ve given them something calming so they can’t use their powers, but it won’t be long.”“Don’t worry. We’ll

-Katherine-I gathered some guards and went upstairs to locate Silver’s room. Two guards stood there, blocking the door, but with four of my own, I confidently told them to move aside. They exchanged a glance and stepped back, clearly not wanting to engage in a fight with me. I smiled, feeling a surge of satisfaction, and pushed the door open.Inside, I heard Silver’s voice, “Acan?”I saw her standing up from the bed, a cup of wine in her hand, with blood smeared across her face. It was clear she had taken some hits.“Katherine…” she whispered.“Hello, Silver.”“W-Why are you here? What happened? Are they gone?” she asked.“No, there are still some left. I’m here to remove the wrong rulers and replace them with the right ones.”“The right… ones?” Silver began piecing it together, then let out a hollow laugh. “You…”“Yes.”“All this time?” she inquired.“That’s what you get for cheating with my husband and killing me,” I snapped.“What?” she inquired, looking confused. “I never touched

-Darius-I looked at my beautiful wife, dressed in our colors, her hair elegantly styled and adorned with a silver crown. She looked incredible, and all I wanted was to forget the party and enjoy her company alone. But I knew tonight was special. So instead, I settled for watching her from afar, taking in the wonderful woman before me.Katherine noticed me in the mirror and smiled. “How are you feeling?” she asked me.“Me? You’re the one who’s pregnant,” I replied with a chuckle.She smiled and nodded, then turned to face me, and I could feel my heart racing. It always did with her, swelling far beyond its normal size. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her.She looked up at me, her arms encircling my neck. “Yes, but this is a big night.”“It is,” I agreed.“So much will happen. Henry is protected, right?”“He is,” I assured her.“Good, because our entire world will soon change,” she whispered.“I know.”“So how are you feeling?”“Nervous, but determined. If the mob fails,

-Katherine-The next morning, I knew I had to do something I really didn’t want to do, but sometimes we had to sacrifice a little dignity to get what we wanted. I anticipated finding Silver with her ladies, so I headed to the room where they were drinking, eating, and laughing early in the morning. However, as soon as I entered, the room fell silent, and Silver glared at me as I approached. I plastered on a fake smile and walked closer, undeterred by their predatory gazes. I stopped in front of them and bowed my head slightly to show some respect, even though I felt none.“Morning,” I greeted.They didn’t respond, and I understood why.“Can we help you?” Silver spat.“Actually, I wanted to ask you a question,” I admitted, noticing her interest as I feigned vulnerability.“Oh?” she said, sipping her wine.“Well, Acan said I could throw that party, as you remember,” I reminded her.“Yes?”“But as I began planning, I became uncertain about a few things.”“Not surprising. It’s not that eas

-Katherine-Later, Darius and I retreated to our room after spending some time with Acan. I was already in bed when he joined me, pulling me close and kissing the top of my head.“I was a bit worried about being away from you today. I saw you went to the city. How did it go?” he asked.“Perfect.”“Perfect?” He raised an eyebrow.“You have no idea how angry the people are, Darius. They want Acan gone. I can feel it. They just need an opening, a chance, and I’m trying to find one,” I informed him.“Any ideas?”“No, what about you?”We both thought for a long moment as Darius ran his fingers along my arm, caressing me and making me feel calmer.“It was hard,” I finally admitted when neither of us had come up with a plan.“What was?” he inquired.“Listening to all that pain they were experiencing from not having enough money. I can’t believe Acan has been pushing them this hard or hurting them as much as he has. It’s just awful.”“Yes, I noticed how they glared at him as we rode through th
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 89
-Katherine-Many people were angry with Acan and Silver. I had brought guards with me to the city, but I spent the day listening to their complaints. I wanted them to feel that they had someone to confide in about their struggles.“We can barely scrape by,” a woman told me, clutching a basket. She looked exhausted and a bit too thin. “After the taxes were raised, all my money went to feeding my kids, and I have nothing left. My husband is dead, so we survive on what I earn washing other people’s clothes.”I knew she didn’t earn much from that work. She lived in a poorer part of the city, and those in higher positions would likely view her as “too dirty” to associate with. So I found a small bag of coins that could sustain her family for weeks. When I offered it, her eyes widened in disbelief.“Take it,” I urged gently.She glanced around to ensure no one noticed her receiving extra money. When she took the bag, she thanked me repeatedly for my kindness.“Your king and queen aren’t taki

-Darius-As Acan and I continued to talk, I noticed that the longer we spoke and the more he drank, the more his guard began to drop. He was slowly letting me back in, and I tried to hide the wicked smile that tugged at my lips.Eventually, though, he grew too tired and announced that he was going to rest but that we would be riding together tomorrow. I told him I couldn’t wait, even though the idea didn’t thrill me at all. Then I finished my drink and walked back to my room, where I found my wife sleeping peacefully. I briefly checked on Henry, who was heavily guarded but also fast asleep.Then I returned to our room, undressed, and joined Katherine in bed. She stirred slightly, moving closer to me before falling back asleep. I held her close and kissed the top of her head, savoring the moment. It reminded me of when we first arrived here. I remembered how we had gotten lost in each other, and the next morning, we realized what had happened—we had become a younger version of ourselves
