"Huh?? Why???" She asked worriedly, her heart beating so rapidly.
"Come on, Rose. There's nothing to be worried about. He only wants to talk about the baby" Replied Martha as she held her hand and led her out of the room.

Roseline arrived at the King's Chambers and had a conversation with him about the baby. She explained how it happened and also made him understand that was the reason she was actually there at the palace because she'd been looking for a means to tell him about it.
Lincoln also poured out his worries of seeing her with Aiken the previous night and Roseline was dumbfounded because she had no idea he'd seen then.
She took out time to explain it to him as well that it was just a game and pleaded forgiveness.

Roseline walked out of the bathroom and found her nanny straightening her bedsheets.Her hands were wet and she wiped them over the back of her night dress as she walked in."You're done" Nanny Hapitha said as she eyed Roseline while straightening the bed.Roseline only nodded and as soon as her nanny was done, she sat on the smoothly arranged bed."Here. Made you your glass of milk already" Hapitha took up the glass of white milk which she had kept in a little tray and Roseline fauxed a smile as she collected it from her and gulped half of it's content."Is daddy home yet?" She leaned her back against the wall and asked."Yes dear. He should he in his room" Hapitha replied, her hand on Roseline's thigh.The 23 years old girl was having a saturnine expression and Hapitha didn't need anyone to tell her what was going on in that lit

King Lincoln - That was his name.He was known in all the twelve Kingdoms as the Most powerful; the Most dreaded.The birds sang his name, the wind echoed it. The ladies beguiled with the topic of how he ruled, even while they washed, went to the stream, and strolled to places.The older women told their grandbabies as tales, of how his father had conquered his enemies and made his Kingdom the most powerful before passing it onto his son. That was how much he reigned. How much King Lincoln reigned.He was feared and respected by many and of course, there can never be a successful man without enemies. So, in as much as King Lincoln had lovers and people that feared him, he still had enemies. A lot.Lincoln was just a young man of 28, but he had the strength of a thousand men. His name had been written in the book of records as the youngest ruler of th

Richard had lost his appetite as soon as Roseline leftHe stood up from the dining and went into his room to stay, knowing Hapitha would clear the table.

He didn't want this for his daughter, but since it already happened, he had no option but to fulfill his responsibilities by protecting her.

Roseline was almost restless in her room.She sat on the bed and moved to the window from time to time to have a peep, wondering if the visitors had left already.What could the royal family possibly want? What could they be doing in the house? She couldn't comprehend it.Long minutes passed and she decided to have a peep at the window again. This time around, she saw them leaving.Oh! They were leaving already! They were done. She felt her throat become sour.She watched keenly as they rode away in their carriages and horses.She watched for a long time, even when they were long gone and couldn't be seen again. She still continuued watching, staring at the shaken leaves.Laggardly, she returned to the bed and sat and just then, the door opened and her nanny walked in.Oh! Thank goodness! She needed so

Roseline had just finished washing her face when she came out of the bathroom and found Hapitha entering into the room. Oh! She was a little early today."Good morning, nanny" she greeted calmly, and Hapitha released a tensed smile."How was your night, dear?" She asked."Um...it was fine. You're a little early today, nanny"."Y...Yes. I just decided to".Roseline could notice something different about her. She was acting... strange.She decided to just shrug it off anyway as Hapitha got busy, dressing her bed.But suddenly, her hands started shaking and Roseline noticed it."Nanny! Nanny, are you alright? What's wrong?" She asked as she held the older woman's hand who was almost in tears."Oh Roseline..." She whimpered."Please, talk to me. What's wrong? What's wrong?

In the carriage...Roseline sat next to the princess, while the others followed behind on horses - including Sally.That was the second time Roseline was making use of a carriage in her whole life, but she felt bad it had to be under such circumstances."You didn't have to threaten nanny Hapitha" she suddenly turned to the princess and said. "Better still, I think you should've given her son back to her as soon as she submitted me"Martha looked at her and said nothing, and a few seconds passed."Saving my brother's life is as important as the world to me" she spoke calmly as she stared through the curtains."I needed everyone to cooperate, even if it involved using force"."And threatening someone's life?" Roseline scoffed and the princess hesitated."I've never killed, and would never kill" she said. "Even if your nanny had

Something similar to fear gripped Roseline immediately.Oh! Creators! The King was awake! She had indeed succeeded. She succeeded.His eyes were barely open, but with the heavy rise and fall of his chest, it was obvious he eas regaining consiousness.Princess Martha turned to Sally immediately."Quick! Get the healer out of here!" She said desperately and Sally ran to Roseline who was almost looking numb, just staring at the King."Come on, Roseline!" She hit her arm lightly, jerking her out of her thoughts.Roseline, who's eyes had been fixed on the King the whole time, tried getting a grip of herself as she stood up.The King's lids were already fluttering and without further hesitation, they gripped her hand and ran out of the room with her.Well, they knew the King just too much. He was a man with vast knowledge and knew there was a

He walked up behind her and wrapped his hands around her waist.Valerie was just dropping the plate before he held her, else, she'd have spilled it on the floor due to the shock.It wasn't a new thing that the King was holding her, she just didn't expect it at that moment."My...My King?" Her voice shook a little.A wave of ecstasy ran through her.The King was holding her! Hugging her! She was the first lady amongst his brides that he was doing that to."I want you, Valerie; I want you now" he whispered softly into her ears.Thar wasn't a request for someone like Valerie. To her, it was an honor."As you wish, My King" she could hardly cloak the excitement in her voice.And just like a flash, she found herself on the bed immediately.Lincoln was on top of her, the hunger overwhelming.&n

The next morning, Martha had gone to the King's chambers like she said.At first, Lincoln had ordered the guards not to let her in, saying he didn't want to see anyone. But when Martha insisted, he just had to let her in."Make it quick, Martha. I have important things to do" he stated grumpily, fixing his gold beltHuh? Why was he acting grumpy? Martha thought.She suddenly felt a little nervous. Just a little."It's um...it's about Roseline, Lincoln".Lincoln paused and turned to look at her. Was she there to tell him about her lover? He thought."What about her?" He asked and it took Martha some time before she finally said the words:"She's pregnant".*Lincoln thought he heard something funny; Martha was joking.Hold on... What did she just say?? Who was pregnant?

"isn't that Roseline?" Valerie asked, pretentiously surprised.Lincoln watched quietly and couldn't say a word.Roseline? With Aiken? Why were they together in that manner? Kissing?A pain he never knew existed, struck hard at him immediately."Wow! So, they were lovers afterall? No wonder..." Valerie muttered, expecting Lincoln to ask her *no wonder what?*But he didn't.He just stared confusingly at them as they had already stopped kissing and just stared at each otherHe took his gaze away from the scene immediately and without saying a word, he turned around and started walking away.Valerie smiled mischievously to herself and went after Lincoln.As she walked beside him, she could notice it; could feel it. He'd turned extremely cold and it kind of hurt he to know he was acting

"Aiken?" Martha called in surprise.Woah! She couldn't recall the last time she actually saw him."Hi, Martha" he smiled warmly at her with a wave and tried taking a peep into the room but it was clearly impossible."How've you been, Aiken? It's been months now" Martha said, still holding the door."Yeah... that's true. I've been fine and you?""I'm good".There was a brief pause, then he asked:"Is Roseline in? I actually heard she's here and decided to drop by to say hi to her"."Oh,...Yes, she's in. Please, come in" she opened the door wider for him and he stepped in with a genial smile.Roseline who'd been listening the whole time, suddenly gasped she saw Aiken walking in."Aiken!" She beamed and stood up to go hug him."My God! I can't believe

Roseline rushed to stand in front of the window."Oh! How do I get home Martha? It's raining so heavily" she asked worriedly, looking out the window and immediately, Martha joined her."Well, if you can't go home today, you might just spend the night here. Right?" She asked with a shrug."What? You should know I can't, Martha. I lied to my father I was only taking a walk with you and he's only going to end up being so worried when I don't get home. So, sleeping here isn't an option, Martha" she explained."Urgh! Fine, then. Let's just wait and pray the rain subsides soon" she answered and walked away, leaving Roseline in dismay.*Martha suggested they waited in her room and Roseline having no choice, had to go with her.The rain was still quite heavy and considering her condition, she couldn't help but falll asleep as soon as they were

Roseline walked nervously with Martha into the palace, her heart racing faster than it should.God! As the clock ticked, so she felt so scared. Was this going to end well?The maids and guards they came across kept bowing and greeting to them, although Martha was the one answering to them since Roseline was so depressed."You'll be fine, Okay?" She whispered to Roseline along the way and all she could do was manage a smile.They got to the dining room and the long table had already been dressed with meals - appropriately."The King said he'd be busy right?" Roseline turned to Martha and asked. "What if he refuses to come?""Um... let me go check up on him. Just stay here" Martha replied and hurried off while Roseline took a seat.**Getting to the King's room, Martha couldn't help but feel nervous before knocking on it. W

Valerie's jaws dropped immediately. Whaaar???Her eyes darkened as she looked at the maid in front of her."What the hell are you talking about?" Her voice was cold and deadly."My mother told me, Mistress. She told me when she'd passed out, she noticed it and even told the princess about it" Anna explained.The physician was actually her mother.Valerie felt her heart suddenly become so heavy as she walked some steps away, staring down at the floor.Roseline was pregnant? She was.... pregnant?? For who exactly? For the King??"Good saviors" she mumbled, her brows furrowed deep in confusion.That lady was pregnant?? How possible?? And even Martha knew about it???Could it be possible it's for the King? But .. she wasn't so sure they've told him already."Mistress, are you

Roseline stared pathetically at her as she walked away, somehow, her words sounded like mockery to her."I hope you don't come back here". Her words resounded in her head.But how does she do that when she's carrying the King's child? Martha is right. She really couldn't do this alone.Shortly, Martha returned with some guards who were meant to ride the carriage."Come on, let's go" she said to Roseline as she headed towards the carriage."Hold on, you're going with me?" Roseline asked and Martha stopped to look at her."Yes. Is there a problem?""Uh... I don't think that's neccesary, Martha. I'll be fine on my own...""Seriously Roseline? Are you kidding me? I brought you here and I'm taking you home. Come on, let's go". She held her hand and entered into the carriage with her.

Pregnant.The words resounded in Roseline's head.Her jaws dropped immediately as she looked at the princess, wondering if she was playing with her emotions or something."What...did you just say?" She asked fraily, her voice helplessly shaking."I'm as surprised as you are, Roseline" Martha shook her head. "I mean...when the healer had told me about it ..I was really surprised. You didn't know about it, did you?"Roseline couldn't say a word and only shook her head as she was too muddled to react.She was pregnant? Like... carrying a child? She was going to be a mother soon? Good lord! She was pregnant?!"Roseline..." Martha called tenderly and held her hand, making her look at her. "Who's responsible?""For what?" She asked, completely oblivious to the whole thing."For the... baby. Like, who's the father of the child?" Martha spelt it out f
