Lillian PovWe just got to the palace, and Asher is taking fast strides to the throne room. He had mind link the wolf guards in the palace to conduct an important meeting. Asher was angry and had remained quiet throughout the ride; he just kept gripping my waist in anger. He didn’t know what he was doing, but I left him since I wasn’t hurt. I don’t blame him for being angry; he deserves to be angry, and I am also angry and feeling so sad for those ladies.Nobody deserves to go through something like this, and for as long as they live, they will never forget it. We got to the throne room, and it was a bit crowded. I was seeing unfamiliar faces. I wonder who Asher called again. I took my seat on my throne while Asher stood. They bowed, about to greet, but Asher raised his palm, and they all went silent. I could see their confused faces.“Which one of you is handling the mail that gets sent to the palace?” he asked, going straight to the point. The elders looked around.“We are, your maj
Lillian POVA soft knock on the door broke me out of what I was writing.“Come in,” I said, looking up. Irish and Priscilla, the head maid, came in. Well, I was supposed to meet Irish in the garden today, but I am too busy, so I requested for her to be brought here with the head maid.“Your majesty,” they greet, bowing. I looked at both of them.“You called us,” Priscilla said.“Yes, I called to tell you that you are no longer my maid,” I said, and a look of shock passed through her face.“Why? Did I offend her majesty?” she asked.“No, you didn’t. It’s just that your food is getting bland these days,” I said blankly. Priscilla is old in age but not in looks; she can still pass as a 50-year-old woman to humans, but her food is bland in my mouth because I have been eating it for years and am used to it. I just feel like I need a change of cook and maid. Asher has told me to change her, but I haven’t found someone to use as my cook and maid since what my last maid did. I can’t even reme
Lillian POVIt has been a few days since I came back from the north border, and the ladies have arrived at the military zone, but they have no idea why they are here, so Asher and I are about to talk to them. There are over 6,000 women we need to take care of, but thankfully, we have enough resources to do so.“Is everything ready?” Asher asked the general in charged of the whole thing.“Yes, my lord,” he answered.“Okay, let’s go,” he said, and I followed him, going to the podium. We got to the podium, and they were all murmuring, confusion written on their faces. I could see some pregnant ladies and some ladies with children attached to their hips.“Silence!” the general yelled, his loud voice echoing down the stadium, and everyone went silent immediately. They gave Asher a microphone, and he moved to the edge of the podium, clearing his throat before talking.“We are sorry to have asked you to come here within a short period without proper reason. But thank you for honouring our ca
Lillian POVIt has been two weeks since my encounter with the elder, and just two days after. The shadow monsters have been attacking the palace. They broke the gate and killed some guards patrolling. Everyone has been on high alert, and we have closed all borders, explaining to them about the attacks. Even Octavia has closed off the borders of the werewolf kingdom to protect everyone.We have been very busy trying to protect the kingdom, and elder Jose doesn’t fail to remind me every day to get Asher another queen, which I have been contemplating. What he says is very right, but I have not had the push to make me discuss the matter with Asher; I don’t even know how to tell him. I am exhausted and tired, and I am just a confused mess right now.“Watch out!” A voice caught me out of my thoughts, a body pushing me harshly. I fell, looking up, and it was Asher looking at me with a bloody face.“Stop pacing out; we are in the middle of war here,” he snapped, killing the shadow monster com
Lillian POVIt has been two weeks since Sky’s wife died with their unborn pups, and the palace has been gloomy since then. Sky has been awfully quiet, spending quality time with all his pups. We have tried to brighten him up so he can go back to his normal self, and so far, we are doing well. We have not had any meetings since that attack, nor have I seen any elders. But I have informed Asher of the spy, and he also believes there is a spy, but we don’t know who.I just wonder how someone will work for those vicious monsters. They will do the kingdom no good and just put everyone’s life at stake. Monsters can’t rule because they have no humanity. Only demons can rule because they have two sides. I wonder if the shadow monster’s agenda is to get rid of me and leave, or get rid of the royal family and take over the kingdom.Whichever way it is, it is bad, and it is not like anyone would allow those monsters to rule over them. Today, however, we all went back to our routine and had a mee
Lillian POVI stayed in front of the mirror, breathing nervously. I have no idea how I am going to approach him; he is lying on the bed waiting for me to finish with my shower, and I am done with my shower like 5 minutes ago, but I have been standing here, thinking of how to approach him. I know having a second queen is not even on his mind right now, but I am doing this for Zira.I don’t want her to live such a life. I have spoken to Octavia and told her my plan. She warned me against it, but I am still doing it. When Asher gets a new queen and she gets pregnant, Zira will go to the werewolf kingdom and train as a future queen away from the demons, and when it is time, she will come back. Let her just be away from here for a few years, and Octavia agreed because she is planning on taking Archie to her mother, the moon goddess, to train him. So they will both train together.“What are you still doing here?” A voice cut into my thoughts, making me flinch a bit. Asher wraps his arms aro
Lillian POVIt has been three months since I convinced Asher, and I have been busy ever since. I decided if anyone wants to get married to Asher; it has to be someone I approve of. A lot of female demons from big families came here in hopes of getting married to the king, and I chose who would marry Asher. Her name is Jasmine, she is the daughter of a duke. She is very calm and pretty. She went through a series of tests, and she is very fertile.I have explained to her that her duty is to carry children for Asher, not to fall in love with the king, and she understands. All the while I was doing this, Asher partakes in nothing; he avoids me or my talks about it. When I introduced Jasmine to him, he looked at her like dirt, then just walked out. I didn’t bother apologising to her because she shouldn’t get her hopes up. Nobody forced her to come here, so anything she faces she should endure.I walked down the hallway, heading to Asher. When I got there, the room was filled with maids. An
Lillian POVIt has been three months since Asher and Jasmine wed, and a lot has changed. By a lot, I mean Asher. He no longer talks to me that much; he comes to the room late and goes early. Whenever I have an opportunity to talk to him, he just teleports. It all started slowly, and I apologised to him if I had done anything wrong. He should forgive me, but he will just say I did nothing wrong. He is not only ignoring me, but Jasmine as well. I will look for Asher everywhere, but the guards will say they don’t know where he is, while I know he told them not to tell me.The only time I see Asher is during the meeting in the throne room, and it is usually a fight every day because, ever since that night, Asher has had nothing to do with Jasmine and the elders want her pregnant. Elder Jose tried to convince me, but I walked out. You can’t eat your cake and have it too. Asher got so mad the other day that he literally cut off all the elders’ salaries for three months as punishment, and ye
Asher POV The music changed and was louder; the whole place was dark. The door opened, revealing Archie. Silver is on his right, and Dean is on his left. The three of them wear the same golden robes. The robes are long, flowing behind them. Their hair was gelled backwards, and their faces were void of any emotion as they walked in perfect sync. I feel proud looking at Archie. He looks so much like Silver; the only difference is his hair. They could mistake them for twins, and his aura matched Silver’s. They both have the same aura; now I get why Dean never wants to be king. In terms of power and strength, he is no match for Archie; Archie is powerful for his age. But one thing I know is that their bond is very strong, and they will always look out for each other. I heard someone sniffing, and I turned to Lillian, who was cleaning her tears. "Please, not now," I begged in my mind, holding her hand. "Look at them, Asher; I just wish my father was here," she said. I sighed. "He will
Five Years LaterAsher POV"Are you ready?" I asked, entering the room with Zira behind me. She breathed out, looking back at me."Yes," she said, standing up and stretching her back. I chuckled as she adjusted her hair. I peck her cheeks, rubbing her small bump as she breathes out."You look so dazzling in this dress," I said, admiring her golden dress. She is wearing a stunning gold dress. The dress is long, tightening her curves in the right places, including her small but obvious bump. The back of the dress is low, showing her beautiful and creamy skin. I used her long hair to cover her back, as I didn’t want anybody staring at her. She rolled her eyes."Not now, Asher," she said, turning to face me. I chuckled, still adjusting her hair."Is everyone ready?" she asked."Yes, we are waiting for her honourable majesty to be done with her dressing," I said."Okay, let’s go," she said, checking herself out again."Mom, you look good. Let’s go," Zira said. Lillian turned to her, lookin
Lillian POVThe sound of someone crying woke me up from my sleep. I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting my eyesight to the light. I looked up a bit, and I saw Asher crying on my stomach. I looked at him, confused, wondering why he was crying. I have been in the hospital for three days now and my body is feeling better. I have been sleeping a lot and I feel it’s because of the drugs. I have been eating at a slow rate and still vomiting, but otherwise I am fine, so I do not know why he is crying so hard on my stomach."Did someone die?" I asked, putting my hand on his head. He looked up at me, his eyes red, and I wondered how long he had been crying. He didn’t reply to me, instead he hugged me to himself, still crying. The last time Asher cried like this was when we lost our pup and found out we can’t have a child again and I was scared, wondering what happened again."What is it Asher? You are scaring me," I said, pulling back. He moved back, smiling and cleaning his tears."You won’t bel
Lillian POV "For your punishment, your family and you will pay all expenses made in the kingdom. Any expense not covered by the little prince and any expense you make that is not from the money given to you will be paid. All the rank you and your family once had will be removed, and now you are just a common villager. You and your family are blocked from nearing the palace, and as a punishment for deceiving the king, you will spend a complete 10 years on the farm. I would have allowed you to see your son, but you treated him horribly. I will see to it he knows his mother, and if one day he wishes to see his mother, he will be permitted," I said. She fell to her knees, tears falling from her eyes. I know her family is terribly broke because they spent all the money. Yes, I did my research. They are officially blocked from the palace, which means everyone will know of their crimes, and they might never find a good place to work that will earn them enough to pay their debt. Technically,
Lillian POVWe entered the throne room, and everyone was there. And by everyone, I mean the elders, Jasmin, I, and Asher. Everyone greeted us as we entered, except Jasmin. I smirked internally. I am doing this in front of everyone, so when I give her the punishment, the world won’t say I was supposed to kick her out, and besides, she is a nuisance. Asher was a bit confused, as he has not seen Jasmin since the time we visited her in the hospital. We sat down on our thrones, and I just smiled at everyone while they all had confused faces. We are in the morning; we don’t do meetings in the morning."Good morning, your majesty. Why have you called this urgent meeting so early in the morning?" the elder in front of me asked. And they all turned to me, including Asher."Yes, I believe Queen Jasmin here has something to tell us. Perhaps a secret," I said, and they all turned to her. She looked at me back, confused."I don’t have any secrets," she said."Are you sure?" I asked."Yes, I am ver
One Month Later**********************Lillian POVI gagged into the toilet, my stomach turning like something was twisting my intestine."Gently," Asher said, rubbing my back as he held my hair up. I couldn’t reply to him as I vomited all the foods and snacks I ate in the night, my throat hurting. I breathe out, moving back a bit as my body is so exhausted."Damn," I mumbled, opening my eyes, and just seeing my vomit made my unsettled stomach rile up again. I hold the toilet, vomiting every left food in my stomach. After I was done, I sat on the floor weakly."Are you okay?" he asked. I nod my head. He helped me up and took me to the zinc weekly. Then I washed my mouth, feeling empty."You have to go to the hospital," he said, taking my brush."I’m fine," I mumbled."You are not fine; you look pale," he said. I looked at him, and he looked worried, but I can’t go anywhere today as I planned on exposing Jasmin today. Everything is ready; no sickness can stop me."Trust me, I’m fine,"
Lillian POVWe are in the afternoon, and we just got to the palace. The injured warriors have been rushed to the infirmary, and the uninjured have gone to freshen up. We are supposed to freshen up, but Asher called a meeting with the elders, and now we are on our way. We got to the throne room, and they were all smiling. Obviously, the entire kingdom is aware of what happened in the night, and they are all rejoicing, but Asher wasn’t smiling at them. His face was tainted with blood, and it also stained his armour with blood, which he refused to clean. He looked dangerous with his blank face and the bloody sword he was holding in his hand."Your majesties," they greet, bowing. I took my seat while Asher stood."We have heard the news, your majesty. We are victorious, and the kingdom rejoices with you," an elder says."Where are Jose and Martin?" he asked. They looked at each other, confused, and I wonder what he was playing out when he knows they were dead."We do not know, your majest
Lillian POVI don’t know how long it has been, but I have saved so many warriors and also killed so many shadow monsters, and those things are hard to kill, so I electrified them before killing them and that works like a charm. The field is ugly and smelly, dead bodies everywhere. You can’t walk around the field freely. The stench is awful and the monsters keep increasing."You guys need to see this," Silver mind link. I looked at Octavia at the far end. We can’t kill all of them, their strength can’t be compared to ours and if this continues we would get exhausted fast. The warriors are already exhausted and barely surviving."Get everyone to safety!" I yelled. "Okay, you guys go!" she yelled back. Asher came to me and he teleported us to Silver. I looked at the seal and it was twirling dangerously, like the bigger seal she did, water spurting out."It’s changing color," Silver said, and truly the water was changing into a bright pink. Then it twirls harder, changing into a dark red
Lillian POV"Lillian," a voice called, shaking me. I turned around slightly, opening my eyes."We are here," Asher said. I sat up, looking around, and everywhere was dark and gloomy. This gives me that chilling feeling that hell gave me. I can’t believe I slept throughout the journey. I must have been tired, I thought, yawning."Where is my helmet?" I asked, touching my head. He carried it up, placing it on my head."I removed it because it was too heavy for you to sleep," he said, adjusting my hair. Then he turned me around on Sky. I looked down, and I couldn't see anything, but I felt like there was something here. Suddenly the wind became very harsh, blowing us harshly, but Sky flew through it, and it was like we were sucked into another dimension because in front of me was a big mansion.There were monsters flying around; there were growls, howls, and swords clashing. This place was dark; hideous monsters made themselves known, and the air smelled like death. I pull down my helmet
