{ Winter Kingdom}
BellaI am now a married woman.After the party was over, it was time to leave for my husband's castle.But first, in my place, the coronation of me and my husband took place.Now there is no going back, I am definitely queen of both kingdoms.But that wasn't all that was worrying me, when I arrive at my newest home, my first time will take place.A great wedding night." Bella, my child, do me a favor here, I need to talk to you, my dear." Said my mother, leading me to my room, I suppose it's about my night." What's up mom, why did you bring me here?My in-laws will be leaving soon."I said, already sitting on my bed." I want you to be obedient to your husband and your mother-in-law, even though you are the queen, you know nothing about the kingdom.So take your time to learn all about it." I advise myself.I left the room walking quickly, so that we could leave.In the waiting room everyone was there saying goodbye.When I got into the carriage, I kept thinking about the conversation I had with my mother.A different realm that I will have to live with all my life.Along the way, I saw that my life had changed forever. I would no longer have my mother to help me with my problems." Bella, my love, let's go downstairs, we have arrived at my palace.Or rather, our castle." said Antony.I am awakened by Antony calling me."I hadn't even noticed that we had arrived." I said, getting down from the carriage with my husband's help."Yes, I realized that."Said Antony, holding my arm and leading me into his castle.Which was ours forever.I entered the castle, seeing several servants were waiting for us." Welcome back, your majesties." said a woman who stood in front of the other servants." Maria, this is the new queen of the kingdom." said Antony's mother."Welcome, my queen, I hope you like the room I prepared for you." she said, bowing." Mary, take Bella to see the room where she will sleep, because I have to settle some issues." said my husband's mother, leaving.And when I realized, Antony and his father had also left, without my seeing." This way, ma'am." I said Maria, showing me the way."Go ahead of me to show my self which way it is, since I don't know yet." I said to Maria, who was a bit annoyed to be walking in front of a royalty, especially if it was her queen.The corridors were very beautiful, with very impressive art.When I reached the room, Maria left, leaving me alone.I waited for her, I was already giving up, but she showed up, the first night in a different castle. However, I was disappointed, nothing was what I had always dreamed of or expected, I had always wanted to marry for love, but nothing is as we want.I only hope that in time I will learn to love, just like my mother did.I finished getting ready to leave the room towards my new married life, I hope it will be better than this night of mine.I won't say that I'm not afraid, but that's life.A month has passed since I got married, and things between me and my husband only get worse. But today I had an idea, I told the maids to prepare a dinner in the castle garden." Madam, everything is ready and in a moment the King will arrive. " said the maid, entering my room." Okay, I'm ready now.I left the room anxious about what might happen today. Arriving at the garden, everything was perfect, I was sure that after this night, everything would work out between us.I went to the table, which was placed perfectly in the center of the garden and sat down to wait for my husband.Meanwhile, I was reading the book about the four kingdoms of the southern continent, about what each one did to prosper: my kingdom, Summer, was the first on the page, it was known for raising healthier animals, both for work and for food.Second was the Spring kingdom, which planted several fruit trees, one more delicious than the other.Third came the Winter kingdom, which produced the best clothes, especially leather clothes, which were the most worn in winter, because it was the coldest kingdom.And last was the Autumn kingdom, with its best fishermen on the continent, who made the best and most resistant boats, to stay longer facing the ocean.When I finished reading the book, Anthony appeared in the garden, I had told the maids to tell him I would be waiting for him." What's going on? Are we celebrating a holiday?" No, I was just thinking that it would be good for both of us to have dinner alone. Sit down, I had your favorite dish prepared." I'm not hungry, besides not having time for dinner, I have kingdom things to do." I said, turning around and heading back inside the palace.Tears streamed down my face, there was nothing I could do to make him change with me. I really wanted us to work out, I don't love him, but I wanted to love him.After that day, Antony was further away from me and after a week, I tried again. I planned a special evening for us, had the room decorated to make it look romantic."What is it, Bella? " he asked, standing in the doorway." É... " I couldn't say anything.If I said I already love him, he might come to love me, or at least treat me well, like a wife, even if I don't love him yet." I will sleep somewhere else, and tomorrow I want you to take all this stuff out of the room. " she said, taking the money pouch." ANTONY! " I shouted his name, crying. " What did I do to be treated like this? We've been married for a month now and have only slept together once, which was on our wedding night."There is nothing interesting about you, I didn't want to get married. Know once and for all that there is no love or that one day I will love you.After saying this, he left, leaving me crying like a child in a stormy day without his parents. I woke up with a swollen face from crying, the maids were bringing me food, but I didn't feel hungry. The words that Antony spoke last night never left my mind.When the maid came to help me bathe, I suddenly felt sick, vomiting everything in my stomach. Then a dizziness hit me brutally, causing me to faint.{Winter Kingdom}BellaI woke up with a strong smell in my nose." I'm glad you are well. " said one of the maids.There were three maids and one man I did not know." Pleased, Your Majesty, I am the castle healer, I have just examined you."Do I have something serious, sir?Perhaps this illness has come to rid me of the hell that is my marriage." On the contrary, madam, it has nothing to do with illness, but with a blessing: you are pregnant.When he finished speaking, a joy suddenly filled me. This child has come so that everything in my life can be resolved.The healer left, in writing, everything I could eat or drink to help with the pregnancy and the care I must take, then left.There was no one I could celebrate with now, the maids had gone about their business, and my in-laws were on a trip and would not return for two days. I was anxious to tell Antony that soon he would hold
{Winter Kingdom}Pov: Cassian Today is two months since I got married and I can't stand my wife anymore, every hour she wants to hold party thinks this is a party house, our riches come from our people. I've run out of patience. Every hour there are arguments between us, and I am always grateful when she goes out for a walk.Today is the day to visit the village, to see if everything is in order there, I like to see for myself how the life of my people is going. I want everything good for them, because it's from their hard labor that my wealth comes, and there is no king without his subjects. – Cassiano, it's time to go to the villages," said my father. He always makes a point of reminding me of my duties. Although I am the king he still follows me every day, it seems that he still wanted to rule. I have already learned that he is still doing certain things without my permission, but I didn't say anything, I didn't have time to deal with my father. But to tell you the truth, he di
{ Spring Kingdom}Pov: Bella I can't believe it's been two months since I got married, I thought married life would be better than what I'm living I barely talk to Antony, and when we start to have a conversation he barely talks to me and less than a minute he's already off to settle the kingdoms affairs. I tried everything to make us a couple, or friends, but nothing worked. I couldn't spend the rest of my life trying to make something better between us if he didn't want it to. I didn't have the strength for him to see that if we were friends we could come to various agreements. If we don't get to love each other, I wouldn't mind him sneaking around with someone else so that no one would know. For me to be badmouthed, being treated well by him would already please me, it would make my life easier enough that I wouldn't be worried about loving him or making him love me so that we could live a wonderful life. Of course the time would come to have an heir, in a fraction of a second m
{Spring Kingdom}BellaAfter a few minutes I decided to get off the horse to approach, I passed carefully so as not to be seen by the guards, if this happened it would be a disaster, a great rate of starting a war would be all the more serious, besides now, I am only queen of two kingdoms, they would surely ask me what I was doing there, and they would surely communicate to their superiors about me, something that cannot happen, I have enough problems to solve, I need one more. I don't want to cause a war over a flower.As beautiful as the flower is, I didn't want it to stain its name with the blood of soldiers. I didn't want it to be the cause of destruction, nor of breaking the peace contact that was established between the four kingdoms. It is about 5:00 in the afternoon and I am still sitting here on a log looking at the beautiful tree with its flowers almost ready, I close my eyes when a strong wind blows past me, when I open my eyes there he is again the Iceman, he was looking
{ Spring Kingdom}BellaTwo weeks ago I had seen the King of Winter and his face did not leave my head, as much as I tried to forget, always something could remind me of him, his serious face, his mouth, his smile and his posture of authority. I shook my head away any romantic thought, I could be feeling sensations I always wanted to have, but the feeling was being directed at the wrong person. But enough thinking about it, today my family comes to visit me and I hope that Esmeralda already comes along, she needed to solve some things in the kingdom before moving permanently here. I would never leave her there, and my friend for a long time. I need it now so you can vent and share my feelings and thoughts. She always knows how to say the right things at the right time that I need to hear. I also want to help you find a good husband, I myself will pay your dowry so that you can get married.I got up from bed to do my morning hygiene, the river-small was already ready Amber and Bruna h
{Primary Kingdom}Pov: BellaI regretted it when I married the man, who proved to be a person totally the opposite, of what he truly was in fact. Such regret totally consumes me with each and every day that passes, at his side.How could I have been so wrong, I should have suspected from the beginning, in his looks of repulsion directed at me, and I believed to be of enchantment for my person. The sweet manner in which we first met was a pretense, I could have kept an eye on his movements and actions. If I could go back in time the very moment I learned of the engagement I had screamed that I would not marry, and if I forced myself to, I would run away without looking back, I would do everything, but I would never climb on high to join him. Misery is even better than, live in luxury in the same environment as him. Being cold, hungry and humiliated is easier to put up with day after day, than living in this world of royalty.Where everything is artificial, nothing is real.But let me
Winter Kingdom Cassian.Today I woke up already tired, many problems to be solved, when I think I've solved one, another more complicated one arose.I got up from bed, having the vision of Rosa sleeping, this did not cause me any feeling of affection or love, but it is early for me to start to feel some feeling, with time I might even like her, but love doubt I do not have the heart for love. I go to the little river to bathe but did not take long, I take any clothes in the closet and wear a gray suit, unlike Arthur I did not use the crown on a daily basis. I remember that today is the day of the White Rose Festival, in honor of my mother, who loved that rose more than all the other things in the castle, she didn't give much value to objects of gold, dress, or other things that exuded her social status. She admired the simplest things that existed.This tribute always takes place every year since the year she herself created the first festival, always in the months of June and July.
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
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
