AUTHOR'S POV
" I am trying to help put things in order." she replied.
" Okay, that means..."
" You must have been receiving letters, I have been the one behind them." She said.
" Really?" he asked. Something was still bewildering, how come she slipped in unnoticed?
" How do you do it?" He asked.
" I have a potion." She said, all of this was quite surprising to him. He wondered why no-one asked after Sylvia.
" Was that why no one looked for you? You basically disappeared." He said.
She nodded in response, " Yes." she replied.
" So what next?" He asked, she shrugged.
" I've used it too much, it's beginning to affect me." she replied .
He looked at her, she seemed fine to him, even finer than how she left due to the r
AUTHOR'S POV" When you are ready, let me know." The man spoke and they returned to the pack."What did he say?" The king asked." He didn't agree to the bargain." It was looking like it wasn't going to work anytime soon, but Alden believed that it was." It's almost the second day." Alexia blurted." And we don't have the capacity. Five hundred thousand is quite a decent amount. Isn't it?" He asked her." I don't think you understand these people, they are highly unreasonable, they only want money."" That's not if we can bargain properly " Alden maintained his stance. The King out of fear for what the people will say thought of how to raise the money ." We will take a loan." He said, in finality, and this made Alden roll his eyes. The people working with the rogues kn
AUTHOR'S POVAlden stroke Cisca's hand, and kissed her again. If things fell into place, he would have the license to finally be together in the open." You look happy." She remarked, and he smiled."Yes."Something baffled her and she inquired, " How did the rogues manage to return the children at no cost?" she asked.Alden merely shrugged, " Alexia was behind it." He replied, and her eyes went wide."That's unbelievable!" she exclaimed.He smiled, " Very believable, even the king doesn't know about it."" Why?"" I want to have something over her head, she will leave us alone forever." He replied." How do you know that?" she asked, that was rebellion." Because I followed her." He replied, he was not here to tal
AUTHOR'S POVAlden watched the shock cross hee face as she looked around." What are you talking about?" She asked, feigning ignorance." Nothing that you're not aware of." He replied, and she narrowed her eyes at him." I don't know what you are talking about." This boy was busy pointing torches at her footsteps.She sighed, when she saw the look on his face, " What do you want?" she asked. If he needed money, she would give him to keep him off her back and trail." I have decided to make you a proposition." He said, and she cocked her head at the man in front of her. This boy had been a pain in her rear for a long time." You stop any more evil perpetration, or I report you to the king." He declared.Was that it? That was very easy. She thought. Surely, he would need something more than that. All she needed was to get s
AUTHOR'S POVAlden watched Nicky leave the room, and the king sighed on reminiscing the day he met Sarah; his first wife. It was a warm Saturday and she was just a young woman at that time. Immediately he saw her, he knew she would be his.Alden reminded him of her a lot. It was a pity that she died so quick.Alden unaware of his thought process, called him.again, snapping the king out of his thoughts." Yes?" He replied." How are you really feeling?" Alden inquired. He did not beloved the answer he gave when Nicky was around. He understood that he might want to conceal his pain from his wife." I still feel weak." He said, and Alden nodded. _I thought as much._" I will try to see if the healer can come earlier." Alden said, after all the medications, he was still sick. It was a great cause for concern.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Nicky screamed and began to hyper ventilate when she heard the news. She locked eyes with Martin whose head was bowed when he heard it. They exchanged a look of understanding and Martin was filled with regret. His mother knew what she was saying but no one had the power to stop the inevitable. This made him more aware of the situation at hand. If he was thinking that everyone was good, then this shocked hi to the bone. He never expected that it would be so soon. He heard another wailing arise and looked at Queen Alexia. He wondered if she could kill her husband. For what reason? He wondered. For all he knew, the king was just in his treatment. A little preferential to his mother he knew that but he never supported evil no matter who it came from. Alden was banned from having any position even if everyone knew that he loved him like crazy. He watched her perform her drama and was beginning to get pissed. In no time, it became a crying competition between both
Melissa stared at both friends, before finally settling her gaze on Cisca, who stared right back at her without breaking a stare. If Melissa noticed anything, she didn't say. " Aren't you supposed to be working? Why then are you here gossiping about pack matters?" She turned to Reagan, giving her an accusing look.Reagan glared right back with matching intensity." The same reason you are here, to check on my friend." Reagan commented dryly. It was obvious that they were gisting from the loud laughter coming out of the room earlier, but she didn't want Melissa to intimidate them. " Right, and you were laughing at the top of your lungs waking the entire maids. Who the hell do you really think you are?" She asked. Hadn't they heard of the king's death? Now Alden was nothing in the pack so Cisca better cooperate. He had no power to back her up. Cisca sighed, Melissa was a spoil sport." What do we have to do this morning? We don't have to fight." Melissa stared at her up and down, she
" Hey, did Queen Alexia come here?" Cisca asked Reagan. Reagan raised her brows at the panic mode of Cisca. " No, why? Did you see her?" " She came to Alden's room. He stopped her from entering. I guess, she knew I was in there. I thought she came here." She replied." Uh, no. She didn't. She has better things to do than to look for you." " What a way to make me feel important." Cisca replied sarcastically as she collected a cleaning rag from Reagan who looked so exhausted. Reagan laughed at her friend's hurt expression." She has a meeting with the council. I overheard some guards talking about it." " Isn't Stiles supposed to address them? Why she?" Reagan shrugged, she didn't know either, anyway it was their business." I don't know." " Thank you so much for today. You've done a lot." She replied, and Reagan waved her off. " What are friends for?" " To help each other when the other is down." Reagan rolled her eyes." it was a rhetoric." Cisca laughed, " I know, I just wante
Amelia closed her eyes at his outburst and wondered what triggered this. But it was new to her. Stiles always found an excuse to lash out on her. She was grateful that he had not put his hands on her, at least not yet. She could ruin his reputation for good now if he tried nonsense with her.Stiles turned to Amelia, " Why are you standing there?" He complained. Amelia's eyes flew open, " I'm sorry" She replied and attempted to rush out of the room. " Aren't you going to give me my conjugal rights?" Stiles asked. Amelia grimaced, she wanted nothing ti do with Stiles sexually and she hoped that he would never mind her in that regard." Umm..." " I don't have a right?" Stiles questioned mockingly. Amelia didn't know what to say. At least he was asking today, other times he had his forcefully. She didn't want to get Stiles angry. " You do, I mean__ I have just been a little tired lately." " It's not like you've been doing any strenuous task, so pray tell the reason for your tiredness
