ROSHIDAI guess I could officially say that my kingdom had been set up. Everything that had been damaged had been repaired, everything missing had been replaced. It did cost a lot but thankfully, I had the help of the Lycan King who saw to it that everything I needed was provided. I was really grateful to him. All this couldn't have happened without his help. All that was left now was the setting up of my cabinet, my coronation and the opening of the Fortress for activities. I planned to start with the smallest of them which was the setting up of my cabinet. Of course, Sophia would be a part of it since she was my Beta. I didn't have a Gamma either and I sincerely didn't know how to go about this. Asking the Lycan King would make me seem unprofessional. I told Sophia about the issue one evening. “I don't think I want to just randomly pick some old men just because it's sad that white hairs
ROSHIDAThree hours before I was supposed to meet with the men from yesterday, Sophia told me that I needed to come see something in the throne room and I needed to come now. I left my office, wondering what the urgency of the situation was. Was the King here? But the King wouldn't just show up. As I entered, I met a couple of people I hadn't seen before along with one of the men from yesterday. “What's going on and who are these people?” “Luna, I received information that some of the men from this pack have a plan against you that they intended to carry out last night and my source informed me of their meeting place so along with a few other boys from the pack waited for them at their hideout and apprehended them.”Sophia looked at me and she finally understood my plan..As soon as the men left, I'd asked the guards to secretly send information out to all the men that I'd selected that a plan to kill me wa
VALFRED If I'd known that my mother would react this way, I wouldn't have brought it in front of her. After our last meeting, my father approached me and told me to be the spy tomorrow the Rogues. At first, I thought it was outrageous. Other kingdoms treated their Crown Princes like gems and protected them at every cost. But not my father. If there was a dangerous mission, my father would rather send me than one of his guards. My father and I looked at each other as my mother practically rained down fire and brimstone. “How can you do a thing like this? He's your only child and yet you treat him even less than your subjects?! You want him to be a spy?!” She wasn't letting anyone get a word out. “Why do you hate him so much? Do you want to kill him before he can take over from you?”
ROSHIDA The man hadn't even spent an hour here and I was already dreading my life. I gave Sophia a look. She would pay for making me do this. “As I was saying, I have a lot of land to my name. My army is one of the strongest as well. I'm surprised you say you have not heard of me.” I'm so glad I hadn't heard of him till today. I didn't have the time to hear about such an arrogant man. Ever since we'd sat down at the dinner table, all he'd talked about was his wealth. “I don't put my nose in things that don't concern me. I didn't have any reason to hear about you.” I could see that I hurt his ego but sincerely, I didn't care. I just wanted him to leave. “Well Luna, I'm also a very serious man so I'll get straight to the point and won't waste your time. Back at the meeting, I found you to be a very smart and privileged young lady.
ROSHIDAWhen I got the message that the King wanted to see me, I was scared. The first thing that came to my mind was whether that fat pig had gone to report to him. Even though I hadn't done anything wrong, being summoned by the King especially without being told the reason would send shivers down anybody's spine. Despite the fact that we may have a relationship, that was with my father. He would still put me in my place and punish me when I did something wrong. If he had truly gone to report me, then it meant that I had to prepare my case to be presented to the king too. I knew that a man like that would want to make sure that everything worked in his favor. Thankfully, I had witnesses. “Should I come with you?” No, I didn't think it was necessary this time around. I could handle it myself. “No, I need you to go somewhere else for me.”The meeting was scheduled for noon but I'd left two ho
VALFREDI didn't think she'd agree. She just took over as Luna. And asking her to leave everything and come with me was a little too much to ask. But she agreed. I could see that she didn't do it willingly but with my mother's persistent attitude and my father's convincing one, she didn't have a choice. Moreover, my father made it seem like it was a favor he was asking. Meanwhile, it was an order and no one, especially a Luna or Alpha wouldn't want to be caught disobeying the King. I just didn't expect her to walk out like that. I just stood there with the papers in my hand, wondering if I'd said anything wrong. But I knew it was because of what happened. I couldn't let her hate me. She was my mate and I was meant to make her love me the natural way. If she ended up hating me because of my status, then I was a lost cause. After she left, I went to see my parents. Perhaps I could talk them i
ROSHIDAThese days, everything seems less interesting to me. I couldn't find myself smiling or finding joy in little things. “Are you still like this? You're acting as if the King ahs told you to go back to your marriage with Felix.”If he had said that, I would have killed myself by now. I would do everything to make sure that I didn't go back to him and even after my death, he won't enjoy a single penny from it. “What difference does it make between what he said and that? If I die, my father's lineage will be wiped out and someone else will take over. Someone who's probably not worthy of the throne.” I couldn't imagine it. My father's line dying out, that's why he had four children because he wanted to make sure his line continued at all costs. “But I still don't see any reason why the prince can't go alone. Why can't he go alone? He's no longer a kid. Or is he all talk until it gets to actual missions?”My m
ROSHIDA When I went back to the h Capital, the prince wasn't around so I had to sit and wait for him. I was advised to leave and come back but making the hour there was not exactly my favorite thing to do so I just stayed. My house isn't exactly close to this place and I only make the journey because I have to. This time around, I didn't stay in the waiting room since it wasn't the prince I was here to see. The prince had his own waiting room and I was the only one there. Well, I was the only one there at first before another man walked in. He didn't say a word to me and just went straight to his seat. The maids came in and served him wine while he just sat back and drank like he owned the place. “Is there anything else that you need, sir?” “Not at all, you may leave.” He didn't look like an alpha. I know I
ROSHIDA I stood in the centre of the room, staring at myself in the mirror as the seamstress moved around me like a merry-go-round, putting pieces of material together and sewing them together. “Do we really have to do this? Can’t you just take my measurements or something?” I’d finally sent the reply back and since there was just a day left, we had to get the dresses ready. It was quite sad that I could not wear my normal black leather outfit. Apparently, everyone had seen me in it. “Isn’t the cleavage a little low? I don’t need men staring down my top. Close it up,I'm uncomfortable.” As if life was against me, Sophia entered the room. “Hold on a minute. What are we closing up?” “The Luna said she didn't want the cleavage to be so low so we’re going to close it up. Although, that will be a very sad thing because I must say you have a pair of very nice breasts.” It was weird to hear that from anyone, esp
ROSHIDA After replying everything to Sophia as it happened, she sat beside me in awe. “Woah, I have to say that you really have some balls. You stood up to the king and his elders?” That man who thought he could make things work out in his favor was going to be my biggest fan, ironically. He was going to make things hard for me now that I was going to be in the legislative council. “Oh, did I add that the King wants me to be a part of the legislative council? I guess something good comes out of trouble.” My mind cast back to the palace and I saw Valfred’s face when I was speaking about Felix. I didn’t get to thank him but I was really grateful for what he did for me. The way he stood up for me like we had spoken about it before, not minding if his father would get mad at him for taking sides. “What did you just say?” I looked at Sophia as I popped a grape in my mouth.“What are you talking about?”
VALFRED When I heard that my father’s court was in session, I rolled my eyes. I knew that there was no way that I could miss out on it no matter how much I wanted to. It was always so boring and aggravating. But when I heard that Roshida was involved, I didn't think twice before leaving my mother and rushing all the way there. What is the matter this time? The way she was able to stand up for herself despite being in front of my father and his cabinet made me quite impressed. The fact that she had changed not just one law was a brave move and I knew my father frowned against every form of disrespect and everything that seemed like one was going against him. The way she spoke so proudly, knowing that she had done the right thing got to me and I couldn't bring myself to look away from her. Even when Elder Rossi seemed to frustrate her efforts, she spoke back at him. He was the major reason I hated being in court. He
ROSHIDA After the meeting, I had to see the King personally. I stood with my head facing the ground. “I must say, when the issue was reported to me, I was livid. Infact, I was so mad that I thought that at the end of the day, I'd strip you of your title. This has never been done before.” I thought my head was going to be gone too. “You will play a very valid role for your people, Luna. And I can already see that you're going to be not just their leader, but their friend too.” If I was going to be a good leader, then I'll step on toes. A lot of toes. “Thank you, my King. I just did what I thought was right. Thank you for hearing me out. And thank you for helping that woman. She would have had nothing if not for you.” He waved it off.“Oh, it's nothing. I mean, you opened my eyes to see how ridiculous it was that her husband got to laugh last after everything. I'll take a better look at the othe
ROSHIDA“If I may ask, what makes you think that you should get the house and the child? To the best of my knowledge, you already have a new wife, a baby on the way and you have the house so why do you still want a child from your last marriage?”The pig couldn’t say a word and he kept stuttering.“My King, the child is mine. I don’t need a reason to want him. This woman has no money and no home. How would she feed him? According to the law, I can take everything away from her as long as I don't want to be married to her anymore. She has no right to anything.:”I hope they could all hear just how ridiculous it was sounding.“So by the time you take the child away from her what do you think will happen to her?Have you thought about that?”He looked at her.“My king, look at her. She’s old, ugly and thin. I don't care about her anymore. She could do what she wants with her life. I just want her to be gone so I can raise my child and live with my family.”I wanted to slap him. So hard.“
ROSHIDAIf I wasn’t dead before, I sure as hell would be dead now. I had just talked back to the King and not just that, I’d told him that he was wrong.The King was silent after that and I stared at him square in the eye because despite the fact that I knew that I had done the right thing, it still didn’t stop the fact that I had gone against the King’s laws and I had changed it. Also, he didn’t look very happy about it.It was one of the elders who spoke up instead of the King.“How dare you speak to the King that way? Perhaps you do not know how things are done here as you are a woman. You must never speak to the King in that manner.”What did that have to do with anything?“Perhaps it is you who do not know that the King put me in this position. Am I no longer allowed to plead my case or will I be executed before I am proven guilty?”He opened his mouth to speak but the King raised his hand and stopped him. The court doors opened and Valfred walked through. I forgot that he was a
ROSHIDA For some reason, I was having a change of heart. Maybe it was because I had spent less than ten seconds looking at Valfred and more than two minutes talking to him. After hearing the plan yesterday, I figured that it was going to be a lot of work but it'll even be more work for me if I didn't have the slightest interest in it. And I didn't want anything that would stress me in any way. I might as well try to act like I want to do this, maybe I'll hate it less. But just because I was about to go on a suicide mission soon, didn't mean my work load had lessened. I still had a whole lot to do in my pack and in the Fortress. There was paper work to be filled, guards to be trained and a throne to sit on. I still needed to listen to the issues that were brought before me. That alone could take up the entire day. Later that evening, I decided to leave the pack and go to the Fortress. If we were going to need
