The castle's exterior was a symphony of stone and ivy, adorned with intricate carvings that told stories of bygone eras. As we approached, the massive wooden doors, adorned with glistening metalwork, swung open, revealing the breathtaking sight that awaited within.As grand doors of the castle swung open, revealing the opulent interior that awaited us. Liam, with regal grace, pressed a tender kiss to my forehead before turning towards the halls of the royal chambers."Wait for me in the audience chamber, my dear Daliah. We have much to discuss," he said, his voice carrying a mixture of authority and affection.The entrance hall, adorned with rich tapestries and polished marble floors, echoed with the hallowed whispers of history.

My footsteps merged with the rustling leaves, a symphony of sorrow playing out in the secluded cathedral of nature.As I ran deeper into the forest, the moonlight filtered through the thick canopy overhead, casting ethereal patterns on the forest floor.

I felt the ember of anger smolder within me, a seething frustration at the unyielding rigidity of their beliefs. My response, delivered with a controlled intensity, cut through the chamber.“Do not presume to lecture me on duty and sacrifice,” I retorted, my voice carrying the weight of the responsibilities that had marked my reign. “I have dedicated my life to this kingdom, but I refuse to sacrifice love on the altar of tradition. Daliah is not na outsider; she is the heartbeat of a kingdom ready to evolve.”The elder remained undeterred, his gaze unwavering. “My liege, we understand the trials you have faced, but our allegiance is to the people. A union with her risks the stability we have fought to maintain.”The fiery tempest within me surged, and I spoke with na intensity that matched the fervor of their opposition. “Stability at the cost of love is a kingdom built on a foundation of emptiness. I will not lead with a heart that knows only duty but lacks the warmth of compassion.

As my reflection danced upon the water, I beheld a testament to the extraordinary bond that now defined me.

The elders' false warmth masked their disdain, but I sensed the unspoken critique that lingered in their gaze. I, the unexpected addition to their political stage, could not escape the scrutiny that accompanied my every step. The castle, with its towering spires and opulent halls, felt like a labyrinth where every corridor held echoes of secrets I had yet to uncover.The elders' eyes, however, could not conceal the disdain that flickered beneath the surface.

In the midst of royalty and resentment, I stood, a pawn in a game where the rules were elusive, and the stakes were higher than the castle's towering spires could reach.The court elders, with a mixture of reluctance and duty, filed out of the grand hall. The last elder, on his way out, turned to Liam and said, "I am overjoyed by the return of my king and his queen. Rest well." The words held a veneer of formality, but beneath it, there was a genuine sentiment of happiness for Liam's return.As the grand hall emptied, leaving Liam and me in the wake of the elders' departure, the atmosphere shifted. The weight of their scrutiny had lifted, but an undercurrent of tension lingered. The absence of the elders brought a momentary calm, but I could not shake the feeling that the challenges were far from over. Liam glanced at me, his eyes holding a silent reassurance.Liam gestured for me to join him on his lap, a gesture that felt both unfamiliar and oddly intimate. As I settled into his e

His apology cut through the silence like a knife, piercing straight to the core of my wounded heart. And as I looked into his eyes, filled with genuine remorse and regret, I felt a glimmer of hope flicker within me — a fragile beacon of possibility amidst the darkness of our shared pain."I understand," I whispered, my voice barely audible above the sound of our surroundings. "But I need you to understand, Liam. I need to feel like more than just a possession, like more than just someone to be protected. I need to feel like your equal, your mate."His gaze never wavered as he reached out, his fingers gently brushing away the tears that stained my cheeks. "You are more than that, Daliah," he assured me, his voice filled with a quiet resolve. "You are my everything.""I was so afraid of Drake and Drew.

I woke up the next day to the melodious sounds of birds. As I opened my eyes, I realized I was alone in Liam's room. The doors and curtains were carefully closed. I got up and walked to the balcony door, only to find it locked with no visible key. I changed my clothes and attempted to open the main door leading to the hallway, but it was also securely locked."Hello?" I exclaimed, bewildered. Hearing the sound of locks being undone, a soldier finally opened the door."Good morning, Queen," he greeted."What is this? Was I locked in?" I questioned, incredulous."These are the king's orders," the soldier mumbled, seemingly confused.Surveying the hallway, I noticed the presence of so many guards that I couldn't count them. A strange sense of confinement began to set in, prompting me to question the reasons behind Liam's decisions.Each closed door echoed with a stifling silence, and the guarded expressions of the inhabitants heightened the palpable tension that clung to the air.

fear."If the wizard intends to strike at me, he knows precisely whom he has to target: you," he explained with a grave expression. "Get dressed. I need to consult with Allan, and you're coming with me." Liam's tone brooked no argument as he spoke, and I couldn't shake off the sense of impending danger that hung in the air.**A few minutes later, we found ourselves in the regal expanse of the throne room. Morphez, Allan, Liam, and I stood together, the gravity of the situation etched on our faces, as we faced the imminent threat that loomed over the kingdom."I can't believe it. I couldn't imagine the jewelry would be worn so soon," Daniel said, blaming himself."I hoped that wouldn't happen. The wizard wasn't a problem I wanted to deal with right now," Liam murmured, running his hands through his hair."It was my fault. I was busy exchanging barbs with the elk Marco, and I wasn't thinking about the problems that the stolen jewels would bring us," Daniel sighed, throwing himself into

Then, in a jolt, I awoke, my heart pounding erratically, still echoing with the remnants of the overwhelming nightmare.In the dimly lit room, an eerie silence filled the air. The slightly open doors drew my attention to the balcony, veiled by closed curtains. Behind the drapes, a shadowy figure remained motionless.An unsettling tension pulsed through me as I cautiously stood up, compelled by the mysterious presence on the other side of the billowing curtains. The room seemed to shrink, amplifying the irregular thudding of my heart. Each step intensified the unseen force, creating an ominous atmosphere that quickened my breath.The anticipation reached its peak as I approached the balcony, the room saturated with a blend of dread and curiosity.

Liam, seated on the throne, observed the unfolding scene with a measured gaze. His eyes flickered between me and the elders, gauging the atmosphere. The quietude was pregnant with unspoken implications, and it fueled the unease that pervaded the room.As the seconds ticked by, the elders seemed to come to a collective understanding. A nod from Elder Marco signaled a reluctant acceptance of my perspective, though skepticism still lingered."Very well pointed out, queen. Now tell me, why does the invader want to get our attention? You suggest that, first, he invaded the kingdom, then he killed Elder Krew. Lastly, he broke into my room and stole the jewels of wizard containment. What does the invader want?" Marco asked, leaning forward and staring at me threateningly."I do not..." I began, but Daniel's voice resonated with urgency, cutting through the air:"The wizard's containment gems?" Daniel practically shouted."Yes, beta. The jewels that were stolen were Magdar's jewels," Marco re
