Winter Kingdom Cassian That's the same girl I saw two weeks ago. What is she up to here on this side of the forest? I thought I would never see her again.- What are you doing here on this side of the forest? Aren't you afraid of what might happen to you? - I asked, coming closer.- Nothing, I was just leaving, don't worry. - said the girl, already starting to leave in a hurry.She's not leaving at all, no one enters my kingdom and tries to take the only thing that represents my mother. You may think it's bad of me to fight over something of no material value, but sentimentality is greater than anything I own, I walked up to her.- You're not going anywhere. What brought you here to this side of the forest? - I asked facing her... and how beautiful she was, her beauty cause disarmed me to the point of feeling vulnerable. - Nothing, I was brought here, don't worry, I'm no enemy. - I said calmly, already leaving again.She was getting nervous, she seemed afraid. I wasn't known for my
Winter Kingdom Cassian We went to a place where only my late mother and I know, she herself discovered it and gave me the privilege of contemplating the beauty of that place. - Where are we going?" she now asked from my side.I smiled at her for her delay in questioning where I am leading.- You should have asked at the beginning before you arrived at the place. - I said standing in the doorway. - I know it's night, but you can still see the landscape. And I can't see anything but the vegetation.- I wouldn't leave this place without protection to be discovered by others who only want to destroy the beauty of places without giving anything in return," I said, going to a high vegetation, removing the branches and leaves that I put there in front of the entrance.When the passage was already cleared, Bella passed in front of me. Daring!- Wow," I said, looking at the door, which, although aged, was still rich in details, with fascinating drawings of various flowers and animals. It
Winter Kingdom Cassian Few women give importance to flowers, their attention is directed to shiny objects like gold, everything that shines is valuable to them. But this is the second woman I have the pleasure to meet, who admires something that does not serve to contribute to her beauty, for she does not use flowers to put in a crown, nor in shoes, hairstyle or dresses. Nothing of the sort, she uses live flowers grown. Today, because it is the day I am most reminded of my late mother, the memories come messing up my mind. Another memory revives in my thoughts. Reminder online: — Mom, what do you want for your birthday? — I asked entering her room. — I want whatever you choose," she answered, smiling and finished getting ready for the lunch she would have at her celebration in the castle garden. — You don't even know what I'm going to buy for you and you already said you'd like it. — I asked, smiling. — My dear, everything that comes from you will please me. — he communicated,
Winter Kingdom Cassian They suffer from several mercenary attacks aimed at overthrowing the power, many find it irrelevant a prosperous kingdom in the hand of a woman. - I said, only realizing now that these women are really warriors, always waiting to be attacked.- Machismo has no borders, on all continents we will come face to face with injustice," she said looking at nothing, lost in her thoughts, by her speech it was as if she had already been the target of machismo. - Injustice has been there since the beginning of the world. You can't change something if nobody changes it first. As a philosopher says "It is not the time that decides how the world should be, it is the people who decide how they want to live.- I didn't know you liked philosophy. - I said again with a twinkle in my eye, I wonder if it was because of the simple sentence I said.- Philosophy relates the society in which we live, without being afraid to go into focus by showing your feelings. For you can't hang a
Spring Kingdom BellaI can't believe the king asked me to do that, nor do I have the courage to say out loud what he told me. If he doesn't appreciate me, I do. Who does he think I am? A harlot? I have dignity! But I don't deny that I felt like kissing him, he aroused feelings that make me tremble with his intense gaze analyzing me.I arrived at the castle sneaking in so that no one could see me, I don't want to give any satisfaction, I'm not in the mood to argue. Now I'm here in my room, with Esmeralda. I haven't told her anything, but I know she's worried about me, since I came to the room nervous.- What happened, Bella, that you came into the room like that? - she asked, going to get me a glass of water.- Nothing for you to worry about. - I answered, getting up to comb my hair.- Don't lie to me, Bella. I've known you for a long time, you can count on me. What's wrong with you? -she asked, taking the comb from my hand to comb my hair.Come to think of it, I've always told her e
Spring Kingdom BellaStarting first with the food, to order the coachman to take it to the palace.- Let's go to the cloth store," said Camilla.We followed, as I didn't know the way, and she went ahead. Already in front of the residence the bright colors draw the attention of those who pass nearby.-This is it," she said entering.I entered immediately looking at the various beautiful fabrics, while Camilla chose some I took the opportunity to pick those that most caught my attention to put in my room, since it is dark the environment, who knows, cheerful colors change the climate allowing me to breathe correctly in that room. Then we went to another establishment of beautiful dresses and another too vulgar for a queen to wear. I chose five new dresses for myself, I am tired of walking.- Camila let's rest for a while. -I've lost.- I said, "It's almost over, there's only one more place to go.You go and I'll stay here, enjoying these mouth-watering dishes.The rest of the afternoo
Winter Kingdom CassianAfter that kiss I can't get her out of my head. What the hell! I've never been like this for any woman, I'm looking like a fool in love, something I'm not, even more so being a married man and having two kingdoms to rule. A romance with another woman being a queen and of the kingdom where there had already been disagreements, would be a headache where they were summed up: in war, death, destruction and losses! That was out of the question, I will not be remembered for a war where they only brought misery to my kingdom. A king who put his people to war over a woman! By doing this I would be being worse than Arthur. Besides, I have no time for anything. I come out of my thoughts when I hear my name being called, there was no peace in this place.- Your Majesty, what do you think? - asked one of the councilors.I was in a meeting and didn't even realize it, my thoughts got so deeply involved that I forgot where I was. I sighed, annoyed with myself for not paying
Winter KingdomCassian There were so many things that needed my attention that I was lost without knowing where I should start, one problem more difficult than the other. But everything that was within my reach, and even if it is not, I will do, no matter what it is. I will give my people the best king they will ever have! I will make my name the greatest of all time, I will leave my history recorded in the book of the heroes of the kingdom, as my mother once said. In this moment of anger and sadness I remember the past where it was better than now. Online reminder:-Mommy? - I called out as she put me to bed.- What my baby? -she answered in her calm voice, smoothing my face where she had just placed a kiss.-One day I will be the greatest soldier of the war, I will win many battles and finally have my name engraved on the stone of the heroes of the palace. -I said, jumping up from the bed. -Hey! Don't even think that you're going to play now, it's too late for that," he said try
Kingdom SpringBellaI could not forcibly open the box, because the first person to be accused would be the maid. I don’t want anyone getting hurt because of my actions.- The key must be with your mother.— Wouldn’t she carry an object that didn’t match her clothing, and where could she hide it? In the dress, there is no place to store things as a man does - I said, looking to see if the maid was not watching.- She can wear it like a pendant under her clothes - said Esmeralda.- You’re right, but we only have one way to confirm.- What would it be? - she asked.- I’ll figure it out! Now, let’s go out - I said, walking towards the door.- Is my lady leaving?I stopped in place with the box in my hand.- Yes! - I spoke without turning to her.- The queen is feeling bad, she will rest, and I will stay with you to help - Esmeralda reported.I left the room without saying a word, walking quickly to my room and looking around. Any noise I heard made my heart race. If anyone saw me with tha
Spring Kingdom BellaI will not leave my life if I end up despised in bed, I will face everyone and discover the meaning of what she meant! He leaves the room following to the wing of servants who work here lives in the palace, and those who work in the stable live at home near the castle. Walking through the corridors I realized few guards than the custom that was always there. A few minutes I was already facing the door of Esmeralda’s room.-Emerald. - I called knocking on your door. -It’s going. - she replied from inside the room. I could hear her going through things but what I did not know. When she opened the door I saw her sigh in relief? But why?-Did something happen?- I asked entering the room and sitting on his bed seeing she closes the door and sits next to me.-No, it’s just that I’m tidying up the room, it was a mess. - he said throwing something in his hands on the bed.Really is, everything was messy out of places, Esmeralda is very clumsy.-What happened to you ar
Winter kingdomCassian I began to sign the documents and Rosa sitting in the chair without saying anything, should I worry about such a silent act coming from a person who does not stop quietly always criticizing everything around the palace?" Because you are so? " asked, she asked." So how? " I asked leaving aside the pen inside the small container that had an amount of paint." You treat your father’s counselors badly, but on the other hand, a simple guard has your respect, he doesn’t even call you by the title he holds. " inquired indignantly.I treat those who deserve it well and badly." You think it’s right to treat your father like that." He was never my father, that place in my life was empty all my childhood in the moments that I needed most, but now that no longer makes me miss." Don’t be cruel. " he said rising from the table." Why are you so bothered by the way I treat Arthur. " I asked with a certain curiosity and mistrust." Don’t think nonsense, I just found it ru
Winter kingdomCassian I was looking where she had gone, trying to know such a place, who in their right mind did not want to? But much work awaits me, I must go back to see if they have already found the soldiers. I went back to where I left my horse that fed on the grass and the fruit that fell from the tree, climbed on top and for the last time looked at the forest, it was not this time that I will know such a place.I rode back to the castle, by the way looked at everything around me, I have an empire and with that comes all bad things directed at me. I arrived at the palace leaving the horse in the care of a servant who was already waiting for me, I entered sighing deeply." Your Majesty? " I will turn aside to the voice that called me, a servant." Yes." Your queen is waiting for you in the dining room. " she said with both hands in front of her body." Why don’t you look at my face? " I asked, it was strange to talk to a person without seeing his eyes, a simple look reveals a
Winter kingdomCassianI was amazed, she knew from the beginning that I’m looking to bathe, and did nothing, I saw that she has no shame to be naked in front of a man who is nothing of her. I came out from behind the bushes walking to her who was still naked. From the front she could see better that body that was to drive any man on this continent, but her penetrating gaze aroused more desire warming my body, she seemed to want to challenge me and it is even pleasant to see her attitude, the girls of the kingdom are more reserved, They don’t look at another man’s face, not even their own husband’s.So far only three have had the courage to challenge me: Rosa, my wife, is all the time doing this, but I do not feel desire, only anger to be challenged, even with a beautiful body, do not know what to do to stop criticizing everything; And there’s Bella, which caused me an unknown sensation that went beyond pure desire, had something more. Now Veronica causes desire, but I still see her a
Winter kingdomCassianIt was so much my anger that it all happened under my nose. How could it have happened? Someone was plotting against me. After receiving the news, I ran to the dungeon and actually in the prison where they were, a large pool of blood was found. One on top of the other, I approached closer and saw their mouths with a different shape than normal. I got close to the nearest victim, who was the daughter of the couple and opened his mouth. I wondered who of so much evil could have done it for no apparent reason. It was one more question to be discussed and verified, who had the habit of killing torn the... tongue!I got up looking at all the soldiers who were there." Surely the right thing to do would be to kill all of you for being completely incompetent, I ordered you to place guards here so that it doesn’t happen." My lord, if I may speak " a soldier raised his hand which, like all the others, listened to everything in silence and lowered his head." Say, the
Spring Kingdom Cassian Now I'll have to see what Rose wants. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I have nowhere to run. It will be difficult, I must admit, but I will make an effort to be a good companion for her.I walked to the garden I was distracted thinking about what happened a few minutes ago, when I felt something crash into my body, I was quick to hold the fragile body of the girl before it hit the ground.- Are you all right?- Yes, Your Majesty. - she answered, smoothing the hair that had fallen to her face because of the near fall.I noticed that this was the same girl you had in my room, and her appearance everywhere I go is making me suspicious.- What is your name? - I ask because then I can have your whole life searched.- If you allow me to ask a question, why the interest in knowing my name, Your Majesty?I was astonished at her audacity in answering me in such a way, but such an act made me smile, incredible as it seemed, she managed to take my stress away with
Spring Kingdom Cassian Finally I had arrived, a noise in the hallway caught my attention and before the reason for the noise disappeared I saw whose face it was. It was her!I ran towards her, turning down the corridor but there was no one there, I looked in every room of that corridor but nothing, she was simply gone.- What was it Cassian? - Alex asked, as soon as he got close to me.- I thought I saw someone looking in our direction.- Shall I tell the guards to look? - he asked.Before I could answer another soldier appeared.- Has something happened, Your Majesty?- Did any servants come to this side of the castle today?- Yes, two women actually.- Do you know their names?- No! But it was the palace's newest servant.- Have the guards stay in the dungeon.- Yes, sir.We went back to the entrance, where there were several guards waiting for us.- Come in, Your Majesty. - said the other one who had just opened the door.I looked forward and the soldier was holding the door that
Spring Kingdom Cassian I entered the room, throwing everything I could find in front of me, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw the monster that I am. With one punch I broke the mirror, my hand was bleeding from the cuts, but the pain was nowhere near what I felt in my heart. I went to take a bath to try to refresh myself. My body felt like it was boiling, because everything in me was burning.Besides the anger I felt, the substance put in my drink was doing this to my body. As time passed the heat was better and I could sleep now. Or at least try to.Lying in bed I rolled from side to side, I couldn't sleep through the night, everything that had happened replayed in my mind, his panicked face was what completely broke me down, how could a day so peaceful like all the others without movement, end this way. Alex had visited me about ten times in the night, but I didn't want to look at anyone, I was afraid to see in his eyes my reflection. I was a monster!But he kept knocking on
