Ezra's POV. Everyone was happy,the masters and soldiers were going to come home soon. After three days I stood with the maids waiting for the master's return. Cheers were heard in the city ,everyone was happy.A banquet was already prepared. I even went to a shop and bought a princess dress,and applied makeup to look pretty. Gloria had been looking at me strangely but I didn't care. A few minutes later the master and the soldiers were seen. Everyone in the mansion cheered ,I was happy he was alright I smiled. He got down from his horse,he hadn't seen me yet,I couldn't hold my excitement anymore as I ran towards him and embraced him. To say he was surprised was an understatement, he returned my embrace. Everyone was surprised at the show of affection,but they Still cheered anyway. I let go of him and smiled at him."Welcome back" I said happily. "Thank you" he replied as he smiled. That smile that made me shiver . He held me as we walked in and I am sure everyone would
Ezra's POV He leaned in to kiss me but I looked away,it's not as if I didn't want to but I was so shy."What's the matter now?" He asked."I...I haven't done it before" I said. He chuckled and kissed my forehead."Then this should be fine" he said and he led me to the seat. He is quite understanding. I thought he would get angry that I refused to kiss him. I watched him as he ate ,and he fed me as well. There is no other place I would rather be. Fred's POV ( master Chris guard). The master asked me to rest ,so someone else took over my position, he seemed happy with Ezra. Am happy it worked out for them. He deserves to be happy. I asked someone to tell Gloria to bring my meal in my room.I think I will take Ezra's advice and am sure her friend is as lovely as her. Minutes later Gloria worked with tray in hand I could tell she was either nervous or excited."I bought your food," she said. I told her to keep it and she did, I just wanted to see her ."Em..em are you alright?"
Ezra's POV I was afraid to make eye contact."She's in the dungeon," he replied. That went well."She's still alive?" I asked ."Barely""You are still punishing her?" I asked and he was quiet for a while."I haven't seen the war begin," he replied." Are you going to let her go?" I inquired and he glanced at me."Why should I do that?" He asked with a bit of hostility in his voice."Because no matter if she betrayed you ,she still brought us together" I said. It was true ,if those events didn't occur we wouldn't be together now."That's true...but her action is punishable by death." He replied."I know ...but master George isn't dead." I said. He let go of my hands,I looked at him and I know I shouldn't have said that."I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that," I apologized ."Em""Am sorry""It's fine I understand what you are saying, she only worked for Master George... But the 10000 gold she took was for what?" He asked me. She took a bribe,that's hard to believe ."Just forget
Chris POV She got to king Grey table,he wasn't looking at her but am sure he noticed her presence,she stood still and just stared at him. "Pa...Papa " she called. King Grey's head immediately turned to her ,his expression unreadable. "Papa" she called. "What is the meaning of this master Chris?" King Grey asked, irritated."My apologies....Ezra what's wrong?" I said and walked to her."Call Nora," I told Fred." Wait papa, it's Ezra," he stood up immediately and looked at her."Who's this master Chris?" he asked."It's my lover Ezra," I replied."Does she see things then?" King Grey asked." I don't I just....you look like my Papa ...but I guess I'm mistaken because he will always recognize me my sincere apologies" Ezra said. King Grey smiled."Well I wanted to meet you to know why master Chris refused to marry my daughter. She's a handful and in her mid twenties and still single, how old are you?" Grey asked."I'm going to be twenty soon," Ezra replied."That's nice ,w

Joseph is 30 he's just interested in his books and studies ,if he loves anything else I don't know,he's also married and has two lovely daughters. My lovely daughter beauty is 27,she's what you would call a sassy Lady, she has succeeded in chasing away all her suitors and even the man I brought to court her,the only one she agreed to marry.She divorced him ,her husband found out she had an abortion and confronted her and she divorced him for shouting at her,ever since then I ignored her,she's my baby so I won't want to do anything to upset,if she wants to ruin her life I will let her since her mother supports her."I don't want to ruin my body by carrying a child," the beauty said. She is nodded a beauty to behold but he
King Grey's POV Joseph is the easy going one in the family and I find him hard to read well. It's for the best. Am proud I have such a selfless daughter,but her reply and selfishness just made beauty more angry.I know that my wife is plotting something but for her sake let it not hurt Ezra. I was so devastated and heartbroken when I returned and saw her mum and siblings had died. I haven't felt such pain of losing something so dear to me it broke me.Ezra's POV When I first arrived I was nervous, king Grey's wife kept glaring at me,his sons were looking at it indifferently ,Beauty was ....I just don't know her problem. When dad suggested I will be crowned a princess,the only thing that came into my mind was that there was no way that happening I don't have a death wish. I miss master Chris a lot. I can't bear to be away from him. I am sure he misses me as well. He was reluctant to let me come here when dad made the request but he agreed after much persuading. A knock on my do
Ezra's POV I hugged the letter close to my chest,he supported whatever I chose. I kept the letter in a safe place and went to meet dad. I saw Philip (the crown Prince) coming out of dads study,I greeted him and he stopped. "You seem to like annoying my mother," he said."I don't, she just doesn't like it," I said."Who would like a mistress' child?" he said. I smiled at him and walked past him and the guard announced my presence."Just be careful, " he said and left. He knows his mothers ways well,so I went to meet dad and told him about my decision."I want to be crowned," I said. "Then the arrangements shall be made," he said.I left after speaking to him for a while. When dad made the announcement of my coronation there were many disapproval. What quieted it down was that many knew that dad had a second wife,that got me thinking did mum know about dad identity as well. After much argument the counsel finally agreed ,I was the daughter of the king and I needed to be recogni
Chris POV"Thank you for coming," she said."It's no problem ....but we are going home together, as a matter of fact we should leave now to get home early ,that is if you want to" I said."Not yet I need to see the queen punished," she said."You know I can't stay here and is all this worth it ?" I asked. She removed her head from my chest and stared into my eyes." She killed my family and she wants to kill me ,I can't forgive her, " she said. "Ezra, I am not asking you to forgive her, I am asking you to come home with me," I said. I can't stay in king Grey's kingdom and she isn't safe here."Am sorry I can't leave now,all these years that I suffered I want to be compensated" she said. She has made up her mind. I have never seen Ezra this way,nor have I heard her talking this way."This is not you,you always forgive" I said. "I forgive those that ask for forgiveness," she said. I dipped my hands into my pocket and bought out the ring. "Ezra, let's get married," I said as I ope
