*Alastair Pov*I glanced at the table which has some papers, but I do not know completely what are they about. I cannot see whether we are in more need of the livestock and the farming or we are in less.Then my eyes followed the woman who is pacing infront of the table holding a few papers with deep concentration lurking in her eyes. It’s been two days since I touched her as per her wish and also only I am uttering the words, but she is saying the things that are relating only to the Kingdom.I sighed, making her throw a half glance at me before staring back at the work she is doing and started writing down. She called for the Minister and he appeared within minutes.“Send this message to King Vali by someone trusted.” She ordered and he nodded before leaving.King Vali know everything but I do not know anything. I sighed again and this time she glanced at me directly with no work to do.“Are your wounds healed?” She questioned.“Yes! Is there something to do?” I questioned, raising
*Bhairavi Pov*“Are you sure about this, Colton?” Alastair questioned him and I too sat in the anticipation of his reasons for choosing this step.“Yes! Within these few days I wandered around and found that I actually like this Kingdom. I was always very enthusiastic when you used to talk about any modernized things and now seeing it with eyes, I do not want to go back.” Colton explained glancing at me and I nodded.“But this is a very big step to take, Colton.” I pointed out.“I know! I am not asking you to take me in a direct way. I found out that you are going to give away a competition to choose your second minister and I want to participate.” He mumbled.“If Gavin is doing bad things at Nadir then you could rule that place than just being minister to this.” I uttered.“Let me be fair, Your highness. We all are a bunch of people who were living with minimal touch with other people from other land with a conception that Council is the bad guy. But it turned out they have their opi
*Bhairavi Pov*“Are they here or even near to the land?” I questioned Ravi the second he stepped into the Palace.“No! But the guard said he will let us know the moment he sees any ship near to Tanika.” He assured me and I nodded hoping that everyone reaches here safely.“Colton seems to be impressing the Council too much.” He commented and I shook my head.“He is a good person and will be great minister. You both will be.” I mumbled and he nodded and we glanced at the place where the training is in the process.“The training is moving in a fast space. All the warriors were little concerned to know the King training them, but his highness is training them with something which they do not even know. With this our warriors will be more powerful.” Ravi continued to praise Alastair and I saw that he is showing the warriors everything he knows.“Did you send warriors to Palmer land?” I asked him and he nodded gesturing for me to sit making me give him an eye roll.“I am younger than you. Y
*Bhairavi Pov*“They all are settling down in a fine way.” Alastair mumbled entering the workroom.I glanced up asking “Is training over?”“Yes! Warriors of Nadir joined today and started learning the ways of Agatha’s warriors.” He replied and I slowly nodded.“It’s been a few days and I can see the children have also calmed down with the recent events.” I uttered when he sat down.“Yes! Are you with child?” His questioned startled me a little would be an understatement and I composed my shocked face into blank one.“Why the change in topic?” I questioned him back.“I saw the concern for other children in your eyes making me think about ours. So, are you with child?” he repeated the question.“No!” I replied, staring at his face.“Are you for sure?” he questioned again.“If you want to know in detail why do I think I am not with child, then I would love to explain it.” I replied sighing.“Fine! What would you have done if you were and I didn’t reach here soon to stop you from becoming
*Alastair Pov*“We should be leaving.” Ravi uttered when I continued to glance at the warriors who are having a few moments of time to spend with their families hoping to return alive.“Yes! Did you spend your time with your family?” I questioned him.“I do not have anyone and that is the reason because of which I went to Palmer on my own to rescue the Princess.” He replied smiling.“I remember you with another woman who is looking after the palace tending to Bhairavi.” I mumbled and he nodded.“Yes! She had to eat the food way before than everyone so she lost her consciousness soon than all of us.” He explained.“I didn’t know the reason until now.” I mumbled to myself and felt silly to even think her as some weak woman at that moment.“You will be the great minister for this Kingdom and will have a bright family of yours soon.” I uttered patting his shoulder and walked inside to get ready and wear the armor.After finishing the bath in the bathing room to which I am still getting us
*Alastair Pov*“What did I do now?” I questioned her with confusion lurking in my head.“What did you not do?” She again questioned back, which she has been doing from the moment she stepped inside.“Bhairavi! I am tired, so tell me what other mistake I did and I will apologize.” I replied shaking my head.“How dare you make yourself get attacked those many times? Don’t you know that you should also think about your safety?” She asked stepping near me.“I do not understand.” I replied in a whisper.“You put yourself before all the warriors. How can you do that?” She questioned with her rage raising more.“Is that a wrong thing to do? I thought you would be ecstatic if I do that.” I replied with a frown.“I would be ecstatic? For what?” She asked now having a frown over her face for herself.“You care for your people more than anything. If any warrior’s life is lost, then his family would be sad which would have made you sad.” I started saying and her eyes widened.“Alastair!” she mumb
*Alastair Pov*I walked outside my Chamber to put the dishes away and saw Tina lurking around the corridor with a stress expression making me frown.“What is it?” I questioned her unexpectedly to which she got a little startled but composed herself.“It is nothing, Your highness.” She replied looking down.“It is ok! You can tell me your problem.” I assured her.“My Mother took ill today afternoon and I just got to know about it few moments back through a guard.” She mumbled.“I am sorry to hear that. Why don’t you leave and be with her?” I questioned her frowning.“I want to! After a few moments I have to go inside to help her highness and leave taking her permission.” She replied glancing at Bhairavi’s chamber door.“Do not worry about that. I will inform her and you should leave this moment before it gets more dark which would be not good for you.” I assured her to which she left reluctantly.I walked downstairs to put the dinner dishes away, ignoring the protests from few maids an
*Alastair Pov*I stared at the way my sword got taken away from my hand and I groaned before kneeling down on the ground.“Bhairav! You should fight back and not take the swords away from the enemies.” I explained to my son which I am doing for a long time.“It is fun!” he mumbled grinning at me.“No! It won’t be fun on the real war.” I continued to explain, but he continued to grin at me and I heard someone chuckling from behind me.“This is all your doing.” I accused her before standing up.“He is a child, Alastair. He has no need to know what to do in the war at this five years of age.” She mumbled lifting our son.“You get to teach him your talent then I should be doing the same right? But he is just taking away the sword from me with the talent you taught him.” I uttered before walking away and sat on the steps.“I promised my Father that I will teach my kids and I did.” She mumbled shrugging and kissed his cheek.“I want to teach my son to fight, which I only know. Is that wrong
*Melody Pov*"Many people are coming here to learn from you about the herbs and medicines." Bess said amazed."Well when I retire from this duty, you can teach them everything." I said smiling."No Melody! You are great at it and I am myself a student to you all these three years." Bess said shaking her head."And you got to know everything. Now you are more than capable than you give yourself credit for." I said and she slowly nodded her head."Do not talk to me!" We heard Amy shouting and turned to see Juan pleading her."What happened?" I asked her smiling knowing fully well that it is another fight which will not happen for more than few minutes."He wants me to cook for him some sweets again." Amy whined."But I love them and I want to have them." Juan whined back."You shouldn't eat those many. It is ill for you." Bess said."That is what the problem is. He doesn't eat them. He just uses them to lure all the guards to train properly. He is getting his way in his work easily but
*Melody Pov*"So he was trying to make me jealous?" I asked Juan again."Yes! I just replied to his question that I once did it to Amy but I never thought he would do it with you." Juan replied."Thanks for letting me know." I said ashamed of myself but he was also at fault."Can you tell Amy to talk to me?" Juan requested gesturing to Amy who is looking away from us holding my Son."I will but you need to help me." I replied."What is it?" He asked."Today we are moving to new palace right? You need to somehow inform Kendrick like you just got to know the news that I am planning to take a big chamber for myself and place our son in the connecting room to it." I replied."He will kill me and you." Juan said shaking his head."Then Amy will not marry you." I said."Amy will marry me?" He asked smiling."Yes! But you need to do this." I replied.He sighed and left the room while Amy stood before me with a glare. I smiled at her took my Son so that he will not hear her shouts very near.
*Kendrick Pov*"Why are we having a stroll today?" Melody questioned me confused."I wanted to spend some time." I replied and she glanced at me surprised.I placed my arm around her and pulled her towards me while she just stiffened with wide eyes glancing at me."You shouldn't! This is not a private place." She whispered looking around."I am holding my wife and I am sure there is nothing wrong in that." I said with a shrug."I.. I.." she just trailed of and must be not knowing what to utter.She looked quite cute so I placed a small peck on her cheek and her eyes widened even more."King Kendrick! I need to go." Saying that she released herself from my grip and walked away.All these days I have been trying to show that I like her but she is distancing herself from me again.I walked towards Juan who is training Shan and smiled at them. Shan is working really hard and Juan is pushing him so much."Sir! I can't breathe." Saying that Shan backed away."You need to always prepare Shan
*Melody Pov*"Melody! Your Father is going to be here." Hearing those words I stopped my smile which didn't left my face from the time I have seen my Son.I held him closely to me and glanced at Amy asking "Why?""To meet your Son. The message was immediately sent to Velimar when the Prince was born." She replied gesturing to my Son who is nearly one week sleeping in my arms."No! I do not want him to meet anyone." I said shaking my head."We have no say in that. And even the King's parents didn't meet the new Prince as you were tired this one whole week with weakness." Amy said."Tell them that I am tired and retiring to bed." Saying those words I laid down holding my son in my arms."I will inform them." Mumbling Amy left my room.I sighed and caressed my son's scalp smiling at his sleeping form. Then I heard the door open and glanced up to see that it is Kendrick."Are you not feeling well?" He asked frowning."Why?" I asked him."Amy said....." he couldn't finish his sentence as w
*Melody Pov*After he left closing the door behind him, I lay down thinking about what he said. I can understand his fear for his child.And he did not even know I know about the herbs and medicines. So I cannot blame him.But he could have not raised his voice in that manner. When he was talking I can hear the hurt he felt when I didn't trust him making my heart pain that I had hurt him.As I was feeling little more uncomfortable I asked all of them to leave after making him know that I am not hurting our Child.Tomorrow I need to talk to him. I thought and tried to drift off into sleep but I did after long time.I opened my eyes when I suddenly felt a strong kick from inside not like everyday. Felling them I remember how Kendrick placed his hands on my bump to feel it even when he was mad at me without talking to me.I felt it again and suddenly pain started in high level. I glanced outside to see that it is already morning.I tried to get up but I just couldn't feeling more pain at
*Melody Pov*I walked inside his chamber and saw that he is already asleep. With a sigh I carefully walked near his bed and lay down beside him.Taking a hold of his hand which was on my pillow I made him hold me. Hearing his breathing I know for a surety that he is fully awake."I know you are not sleeping. But hear me completely." I said holding his hand."I was about to inform you about everything but you had to leave the Kingdom. I thought of doing it after you return.. but you already knew when you did." I uttered hoping he will understand a little.When he removed his hand from my hold and turned his back to my sight, I gave up from trying anymore. I have been doing the same for few days but he is still upset and angry.Today I didn't even waited for him to drift off and walked inside my room leaving his chamber hoping he will get the message that I give up."Until when?" Amy asked choosing a gown for the day."I do not know." I replied feeling uncomfortable in my breathing."Fo
*Melody Pov*"Albert is not going to visit this week. He sent a messenger today." Kendrick said and I nodded at him letting him hold me."Why is he postponing? From one month he is doing the same?" I asked him frowning."I do not know. Maybe he got caught up with something." He replied shrugging.He says something everyday before drifting off and I too started conveying whatever I wish to say a little regarding the matters he speak to me."Ok! I am going to sleep so you can go to your room like everyday after that." He abruptly uttered making me gaze at him in shock."What? Did you really think I wouldn't know? Maybe not at the beginning but later I realized it." Replying to my unasked question."I know you may need time or you are not even comfortable with me. I can understand." He added before drifting off into sleep.I just lay there awake for sometime and returned to my room through which I walked inside. This one week I begin using our connecting door.I didn't get even ounce of
*Melody Pov*"So you got to know what actually happened." I Questioned Amy when we were taking our late morning stroll."Yes! I was wrong in judging him before even knowing what happened." Amy replied looking away."He understands you and that's all you need." I said patting her hand."What about you?" She asked staring at me."What do you mean?" I questioned her confused."Why don't you tell him what happened? Your nightmares will reduce." She replied."Today he heard my nightmares but I couldn't bring myself forward to tell him everything." I said remembering today morning."But why? He is a kind guy." Amy pestered."You don't know Amy. He may be kind for now but in the end we can't ignore the fact that he is a man and also a King who gives importance to their duties and responsibilities." I uttered in stern voice."But..." she started to say but I cut her off saying "He already said he may not even be fond of me in near future as he nearly hated me before our wedding that he was re
*Melody Pov*I slowly walked towards his chamber main door but not the connecting door. I will stay outside his chamber and after knowing what he wants to say I will return to mine.Determining that thought I knocked on his door and he opened it few minutes later. I saw that he changed into comfortable clothes.He moved little back gesturing for me to move inside. I nodded entering against my determination which I made before knocking on the door.Then I felt him closing the door after I passed him. I turned abruptly around to see that he bolted the door.Calm down Melody! He will not hurt you. I thought slowly breathing."You asked for my presence King..." I couldn't finish my words as I felt his lips on mine.I didn't expect this in any sense and remaining senses left me when I felt him kissing me slowly. I couldn't help but just stay in my roots in shock.Releasing me he pressed his forehead to mine while I closed my eyes hiding away from his gaze. I slowly felt his hand on my smal
