*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
I am a Queen!I am a Queen of two kingdoms whose names are enough to make anyone tremble with fear.I am a Queen who had done nothing but what everyone asked me to do. I fulfilled everyone’s wishes without giving those any second thought.I am a Queen who got blamed for the things about which I don’t even have a minimal idea. I am blamed because there is nothing else they can do other than that.I am a Queen who wishes at present to go back being a princess as my life is going to be taken away by the person who is none other than my Father in a few seconds just because I am a Queen.I closed my eyes hoping that this ends once and for all…
*Third Person Pov*KINGDOM – A Monarchy ruled by a King or Queen. In better words it is known as a Country, State or a territory ruled by a King or Queen. The meaning is really simple but what happens in real is not told in this single sentence.Population of people in a kingdom is meant to increase by the passing time. This makes some scarcity to appear regarding the Non-Renewable sources. The major one is the land.So to not suffer from scarcity of this the rulers extend their kingdoms by taking up the land near theirs to combine it with their kingdom.But what if some other kingdom too does the same thing to reduce their scarcity that too with an eye on the same land? That’s when the war broke out. The Kingdom which wins gets the land along with the Kingdom they had defeated.Problems will be solved but it is not that simple. One war doesn’t decide the fate of that land. So the wars go on and on until one of the Kingdoms accepts its defeat or if one of the Kingdoms loses all the ru
*Kendrick Pov*I glanced at the warriors that are lying on the ground with no life in them anymore. Then I moved my head to look up at the sky praying to the almighty for the rest of all these souls in peace.“Kendrick!” I heard my name being called by the person who is approaching me.“Yes Father!” I said turning around masking the weakness that appeared in my eyes.But when I did I got an unexpected surprise by seeing the weakness in his eyes which he never showed to anyone except my mother. I walked towards him with questioning look.He sighed and said “Your cousin is no more.”I stumbled back a little and said “Father! This is no time to jest.”“Come and have a look at him before he is taken back to our Kingdom.” He said and started going towards the part of the land where my cousin fought.There on the ground is my cousin body lying completely lifeless. I kneeled down and held his hand in mine hoping he will come back.When his body is taken away along with the remaining warriors
*Kendrick Pov*“Are you really sure about what you are going to do Father?” I asked him glancing at the Velimar Kingdom council members along with King Albert who are glancing back at us with questioning looks.“Are you doubting my ideas Kendrick? Don’t forget that I am still your king.” He barked but in light tone.“Forgive me Father.” I said nodding my head.He sighed and said “I am really worried right now. I don’t know whether they will accept my idea or they may even get anger by hearing that.”“If we don’t return to our Kingdom safely your Mother will skin both of us alive.” He added.“Don’t worry Father! Juan is going to bear it for both of us.” I said assuring him and heard Juan saying ‘What?’ but I ignored him.“King Ronald and Prince Kendrick please have a seat and state your reasons to be here.” The council head asked gesturing towards the thrones behind us.“Never in my wildest dreams did I dream about you standing here infront of me in my palace and especially not like th
*Melody Pov*"Princess! Are you listening?" I heard the faint words which successfully brought me out of my thoughts."Use my name while calling me when we are atleast alone Amy." I replied with a small smile on my face."Princ.. Melody! His Highness is asking for you as it is time." She replied hesitantly."Already! I can't swallow that these few days have passed in a flash." I murmured slowly."Where is Agnes?" I asked her glancing around my chamber."She will be here in a second." Amy whispered and I nodded."Melody! Are you ready dear?" I heard Agnes voice entering my chamber."Agnes!" I said and hugged her while she soothed me patting my back."I know dear! I can understand but we don't have anything to stop it right." She said and I nodded stepping back."You are such a strong women Melody just like your Mother. You even have the strength to soothe others pain." She said caressing my cheek."I don't have any strength Agnes." I said not accepting her words."You just have to sing
*Melody Pov*I woke up hearing the rustling sound of sheets and opened my eyes to see that I am no longer snuggling him. I glanced up to see him leaning on the headboard and rubbing his eyes."Morning!" He greeted when he saw that I am awake."Morning!" I greeted back."Princess! I want to know some answer to my worry." He said looking at me."You can call me Melody." I said and then slowly got up to lean back but not fully."Right! Did your consent was present in our...." He trailed off gesturing us both on the bed."Oh!" I mumbled realizing what he is asking about."You need not worry about it Prince Kendrick. If my consent was not there then I wouldn't have allowed you to....." I trailed off not knowing how to describe what we actually did."So I didn't coerce (force) you right?" He asked again."No!" I replied shaking my head."I guess we need to.. Have a bath before someone comes to wake us up." He said and I nodded."Your chemise (shirts) and breeches (pants) are in there." I sa
*Melody Pov*"What are you thinking about Kendrick?" I asked looking at him who is recently lost in his thoughts.And I have got used to calling him by his name too. At first it felt weird but now I am fine with it.We have been married for one month and I couldn't help but say that I am happy which I never expected in this rate after my wedding."Nothing! It's been nearly two weeks since my Father has left for Hulind Kingdom. I am getting worried because he still didn't return." He said when we reached our tree.Yes, we have got our own tree as we stand here for sometime everyday. I held his hand in mine showing him that I can understand."Look how struck did my friend get to my Queen." We heard a knowing voice."Evening Juan!" I greeted him and he smiled at me."So friend, you even forgot your friend all these days. I never thought this day would come into your life and that too with Queen Melody." Juan stated."Why is that?" I asked him smiling."Because he was hell bent that we ar
*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
