Tales of the Broken Queen Temporary bliss
Eleanor's POV"Don't believe that crazy talk, Eleanor" my subconsciousness reminded me, and I tried hard to keep up with that… But my brain keeps getting anxious and extremely curious. My heart couldn't help but waver at the thought of finding out eventually that there's a possibility that Derek has a connection with the serial killer.I tried convincing myself otherwise, but this feeling of curiosity won't die down so easily. Three 'what ifs' kept evading my mind. 'What if he's the killer behind my parent's death?''What if he's the beast behind Laura's death?''What if he had tried to kill Ethan to bury the truth forever?'Just what if these were true? Then what would become of me? I couldn't help asking myself. I hurriedly looked for the kitchen, I needed to clear my mind of crazy thoughts.

The thought of Eleanor suddenly invaded me and I decided to check on her after I was done taking my bath, I haven’t seen her for a while now, neither did she made any attempt to check on me too. When I was done, I wore the first thing I saw and walked out of my room, I went to Eleanor's room and gently knocked on the door. I heard no reply and I became worried, I knocked again and this time around I heard the sound of footsteps and the slowly cracking sound of the door.The door was slightly opened and Eleanor brought out her head to look at who was knocking at the door. "Let me in," I said, and she opened the door wider and let me inside her room.

Eleanor’s POVI stayed in my room throughout the day and I ended up nothing eating anything. I heard the cock crows and my stomach grumbled at the same time. I sighed and stood up from the floor, I had been in the same position sitting down on the floor for a while, and I wasn’t able to sleep.The dreams are draining me and always leaving me in thoughts, at this point I don’t know what to think anymore, I don’t know what’s right or wrong neither do I know whether Derek is innocent or not. I couldn’t grasp any reasonable reason he could have done it if he were guilty.I went inside my bathroom and washed my face before leaving my room, I decided to get myself something to eat since my stomach was unable to stop grumbling. I yawned as I arrived in the kitchen, which was quiet, it was too early in the morning for anyone to resume duties. I searched through the cabinet, and I wasn’t sure of what to prepare for myself, I sighed and decided to settle for a pancake and coffee, it wouldn’t ta

I opened the door and I saw Derek standing before me and he was seething. It is obvious what I did got him angry, and he was barely holding on to his anger. "You walked away while I was still talking," he said through his teeth."I was done talking to you, "I said, and he moved closer while I moved away, he entered my room and closed the door with a banging sound."What is wrong with you Eleanor's why the sudden change in your attitude?

Sighing deeply, I shut my eyes tightly, hoping for a brief respite from the discomfort. After a period of rest, I summoned the strength to rise from the floor where I had spent a restless night. My body throbbed with discomfort, evidence of the uncomfortable position I had unwittingly maintained. Before starting my day, I made my way to the bathroom to refresh myself with a soothing bath.

Eleanor's POVI woke up suddenly, feeling hazy and dizzy at the same time. I held my head tightly and winced in response to the pain I felt. I laid down on the floor there, and I tried to sit up and rest my back against the wall. I sat against the wall, still holding my head tightly as the pain intensified.

My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.Something was unusual. There was no noise from the pack house. No noise from maids doing their activities and also the palace workers going about too. I suddenly opened my eyes, looking around the room.

Lucas stopped abruptly, clearing his throat as he exhaled deeply.“What about the baby?” He asked as he wore a concerned look on his face. “The maid will take care of him,” I replied calmly as I tilted my head to look at him, and we continued to walk in the direction of the yard. In no time, we were standing in the yard where the whole army was gathered with their weapons all set. They all bowed down in unison to greet me and I gestured, tilting my head to see all of them.

I turned to look at the back, turning back to look at her, exhaling heavily.“You what?” I asked curiously as I looked puzzled. Lucas walked slowly towards the door, and the maid bowed as he approached. She was trembling obviously, as her hands were shaky when she pointed into the room again. “The baby.” She managed to say as she pointed again. I turned to look in the direction of his crib. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. “What happened to him?” Lucas asked curiously as he looked at the maid with a straight face, making me turn towards her. I walked towards the baby to check on him as I did not understand what the maid was saying there. He was still sleeping as I tapped him gently. I heaved a sigh as I tilted my head to look towards the door. “She has not fed him tonight,” Lucas said aloud, and I chuckled dryly.
