Today is as refreshing as ever, sitting at the mountaintop, watching the sunset slowly. I am not sure how many hours we've been here, but I don't mind it at all as long as she's happy, and I love her resting on my body, but since Noami and Kesem visited, it's been three days, and Isabelle has been excessively touchy, just like now, I have to pretend I don't see her sliding down my stomach to my - "Alright, love, you seem extremely touchy," I say, catching her hands before she goes deeper, probably into my pants, and she only GIGGLES? How much more do I have to lose my mind? "You've not been having a lot of sleep lately,"She doesn't say a thing and struggles, sitting on my lap with her arms around my neck, her gaze fixed on mine."What's wrong with my husband not giving me any sleep?" She says, and I can feel the rise in my heartbeat. I smile. "Three days in a roll? I don't want to hurt you," I say, but she leans closer, whispering in my ear."Are you sure that's all you're worried
I had just one glass of Burron, but why the heck am I having the craziest headache ever? I open my eyes, looking around. How did I end up in bed? I slowly sit up, and I can hear giggles and laughter coming from the kitchen. "Do we have some here? Perhaps, Kesem?" My voice is low. I get up and walk towards the kitchen, and a lady is sitting with her in the kitchen. I haven't seen her before. She has straight, long brown hair falling to her waistline. The palace maids don't dress this way. She's also wearing a floral gown."Oh, Betty," I sigh and clutch my head, groaning."Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you okay?" Betty says worriedly. I nod, standing up straight and walking towards Isabelle, sitting on a long stool, eating something from a jar. "What's that? Good morning, love," I say, kissing her cheek. I don't care if she doesn't want me touching her, but she can't deprive me of giving her morning kisses. "Good morning," she says, staring at me. Her eyes are glancing around me, h
"I don't want to leave yet," "I'm sorry, love, something important came up at the palace, and we had to leave," Kyler says. I don't know what the letter said, but ever since then, he's been grumpy, and now we have to leave."You're not going to tell me at least what's wrong?" I ask, and he kisses my forehead, dropping a glass of wine on the table. He prepared dinner this time. Well, he's been the one most of the time."You'd find out, but you know we were going to leave. We can't stay here forever. Besides, the tournament is around the corner," "Alright, we have to pack, right?" "You don't need to. Noami and Lee would be here to do so," he says and sits beside me. "That's sad. Once we go to the palace, you'll be so busy," I say, staring at my plate. My lips twitch, and he smiles."I promise we'll spend the nights together, and also, you need to see the royal doctor. He needs to examine you," "Why?" Our eyes meet, and the silence is so loud that he doesn't need to explain why. "Ok
KYLER'S POV"Your Majesty, what are you doing to do?" Kesem asks, but a knock interrupts.Your Majesty," Perry calls, and I sigh, resting on my chair in my study."How's she doing?" I ask Perry. Honestly, I am scared to even go see her, I know she probably hates me, in fact she does, she doesn't play with Victoria, but this is all Lee's fault he shouldn't have brought her there, and let her see. However, I do not have plans to release Victoria, not now. "Not good, Your Majesty." Perry replies. "Keep an eye on her for a while," I say, taking a deep breath. Isabelle does have a way of getting to me. She has her way of punishing me, and it works every damn time."Your Majesty, I think you should see her. She hasn't eaten or gotten up from the floor. She hasn't even bathed, I really mean she isn't well," I recline, staring at the white wall, and I want to run to her."Is that something you should be telling me? Where are her maids? Force something into her, and let her shower, I mean i
"Please eat, love," Kyler says, "Let's have dinner together?" A thin smile covers his lips. but before he leaves the room, he adds, "She's being treated, you'd see her tomorrow before dawn," then disappears.My heart is unable to calm down. The look in his eyes says he wants to do more than just eating. He looked at me with sympathy, I must be that pathetic, useless to be unable to do anything after finding out, I should cast them away, but I am that powerless. No matter how many times I hit my chest, bleeding and crying inside, it hurts more than anything. I just want to disappear, at least away from them. A sudden knock interrupts my thoughts, and I quickly wipe those useless tears."Your Majesty? It's me, Noami, may I come in?" "Yes," the door opens, and she steps aside, Ayn and Betty walk in with food, heading towards the table."His Majesty, prepared this for you, Your Majesty," her voice is low, and she bows."Leave it," I reply, forcing myself off the bed while panting and bre
Eight hours since the jealousy drama, eight hours since Kyler walked out of the dining room alone, and I sat down to eat everything I could.But his words were nestled on my skin, my brain, and every part of my body. I remembered them all too well. However, he looked disappointed to be called a monster, and now I think about it. That's why he was named a ruthless and evil king. He was cunning and full of deceit.EARLIER."Jealousy? You're mine, Isabelle, I own you," he catches my wrist and pulls me to the table, and I sit. Before I know it, Kyler spreads my thighs apart, and I hear my dress rip. "Every part of this body, your breast, eyes, ass, and those sweet juice are all mine," his hands crane to my neck, gripping it slightly and forcing me to face him, "Your lips are mine, your soul and body is mine, you let any man touch you, he would be dead and buried and you, tied to my bed to remind you whose Queen you are," "I'd like to see it. Watch you murder your men. I'd like to see the
"I'm telling you, she's mad at me. What do you want me to do? I can't stand it," I release my arrow, "She asked me if I loved her, and I told her honestly, I do, but she said I lied," "You caused it... you never do that, using Isabelle to hurt Victoria, and you did now, she believes it," Kesem replies, walking to pick the arrow while I push another in."I hate her with Victoria," I lower my bow and turn in the direction of the gentle footsteps."Sire, we received a report," Perry says. "Concering the man looking for Her Majesty, we traced him to the palace, but Victoria got him first, and I believe the words he said were true, partly, he is Her Majesty's boyfriend," he sighs. Jealousy, I remember Isabelle's words because it's crawling in me as Perry reports. "They were lovers," I swear, if he says the word, 'LOVERS' again, I'd have his head hung in the market "But he went on a mission and got stuck since he was injured, he returned after hearing about Lake downfall," "But we are mar
After seeing Leon again for the first time in months, I had an upset stomach, and I don't even know if I was excited, annoyed, irritated, or happy, but I know I was surprised."Your Majesty? Are you okay?" Ayn called for me while I vomited all my wine and food. Gosh, Victoria, the only reason she's still here is because I allow it. I know that well, but I can't even order her out. My conscience won't allow me to. Guilt would eat me up if something ever happened to her.I stepped out of the bathroom, and she immediately handed me a napkin, which I used to wipe my mouth. I walked to my bed and sat by the edge, staring at the clear blue sky. Damn Victoria, I thought maybe I could annoy her, but she rocked my world by finding Leon. I should be happy he is alive. I am. But I hate he has to see me with another man, and I know Kyler won't let me go so easily. No, that's not the problem. Is it Kyler, or I won't let myself go easily? I sighed heavily without knowing how I put Ayn, Kia, and Bet
