The Impact of Her (ALL SEASONS) ~ Chapter Nineteen - Season II ~
“Is it a custom in your kingdom to make your guests wait for an incredibly long time?” A disappointed voice came from the main hall as I rushed down to Queen Marta. “Your Majesty,” I spoke as I walked down the stairs with my hands behind my back. “Ugh! Finally!” she sighed, closing her fan as she walked towards me whilst our guards a death stare. “I supposed that time runs rather slower here than what’s in the norm,” she snarked. “I do apologise for the delay, Your Majesty. We’re currently in the middle of an emergency–” “Emergency or not, you and your people should value the worth of time! You and your mother should’ve greeted me by the door in the same manner that I did for you when you came to our kingdom,” she complained. She continued with, “I didn’t expect a grandiose welcome. But the least that you can do for me is a warm and friendly hello. But what happened? I endured such a long journey, just to be greeted by no one.” She added, “This meeting must be dealt with as soon

Arriving at the bakery, I peeked through the window to see if Laura was inside. However, the glass was too foggy and I couldn’t see through it. I then entered the bakery and looked around. But to my dismay, she was nowhere to be found. I then looked for Grandpa Ben but even he was nowhere in sight. And I wasn’t about to ask Ronald so I figured it was better to ask someone else. I walked over to another worker and asked, “Excuse me, madam?” She was quick to turn around and smiled. “Good day to you, sir. What can I help you with?” “I was wondering if Grandpa Ben or Laura arrived today,” I said. “My apologies, sir, but Grandpa Ben left an hour ago. He is yet to return. I’m not sure when he will be back but I presume he’ll be here later,” she replied. “What about Laura?” I asked. “Laura hasn't been here since this morning. We’re not sure why but it’s either she accompanied Grandpa Ben or she is ill,” she explained. “Is there anything else that I can help you with? Perhaps, you have

“Robert! Elizabeth!” James shouted as he stood from his chair. He walked over to us and continued, “What did I tell you about knocking before entering?” “What did we say about interfering with the designs of our rooms without our permission?!” I snapped back as I walked over to them. “I don’t think your children are entirely concerned about their mother’s well-being, James,” Bethilda entered the conversation, standing behind him. She continued, “These changes are vital for the recovery of the queen.” “I suggest that you close your mouth before I shove a shoe in it!” Elizabeth threatened, grabbing her shoe in the process. Gonzalo quickly held her back. Elizabeth wasn’t in her forgiving mode. “Don’t you dare disrespect your aunt in such a manner!” James yelled at Elizabeth. “And you have no right to shout at Elizabeth when we are the ones who are being aggravated!” I stood in front of Elizabeth. “This woman,” I pointed at Bethilda, “This lady that we have never seen before has the

“Should I become a horse, will you treat me just the same?” “Mallory, I’m not in the mood to have another argument with you,” I said as I kept my focus on Lady. I added, “I have too much in my mind right now. I have too much in my life right now. I can’t afford to waste time on another debate with you.” “Is it because of Laura?” she asked as her footsteps slowly approached me. I remained silent and proceeded with what I was doing. She was now aware of my feelings for Laura. But that didn’t mean that I owed her any explanation. “It’s Laura, isn’t it?” she repeated as she stood beside me. “Why does it matter?” I asked, irritated. I faced her and continued, “What is it to you? If I admit that it’s because of her, what will you do?” “That day when I introduced you both to one another, I saw the stares you shared,” she started. I returned to Lady as she continued, “I saw the horror in your eyes and the pain in hers. I’m not that stupid to allow that to go unnoticed.” I walked towards

It was late in the afternoon. With everything that has happened, my mind struggled to sort everything. It was exhausting. I already walked around the garden numerous times. I was trying to avoid thinking about everything. I wanted to rest my mind, even just for a little while. I wanted to speak to Laura about this. But it seemed as if she didn’t want to be found. “Robert,” a faint voice came from my left, interrupting my moment of peace. As I turned around, James walked towards me. ‘Couldn’t anyone in this kingdom give me some time alone?’ I asked myself. Standing in front of me, he asked, “Can I have a word with you?” “Can’t you see that I want to be alone?” I responded, trying to be as polite as possible. “I can join you on your walk. I just need to speak with you,” James insisted. I let out a sigh and nodded, walking once more with James beside me. He started, “I didn’t appreciate the manner of how you and Elizabeth spoke to your aunt. That was very disrespectful of you.”

As soon as she saw us arrive, she immediately stood up and curtsied as low as possible. “Gonzalo, you may leave,” I said, my eyes never leaving Laura. “Are you sure, Your Highness?” he asked. “There’s no need to worry, Gonzalo,” I smiled at him. “She’s a friend of mine. Kindly take care of the letter.” Gonzalo bowed and left me with Laura. “Laura?” I called out gently as I approached her. “Come now, Laura. There’s no need for that,” I helped her up. Lifting her face, I smiled even more as I was very pleased that she was here. “You don’t have to do such formalities when it comes to me.” “Don’t be silly, Robert. You know that I have to do that,” Laura replied, fiddling with her fingers. “I am in your realm, your kingdom. I must pay you the respect given to you here.” “Laura, you’re no different from me. Therefore, you don’t have to be all ceremonial whenever you visit me,” I explained, unable to contain a growing grin. Looking at her frame, it came to my attention that she wasn’t

We turned our heads and saw Nana Olsa. She tried to stand firmly as her crooked staff assisted her weight. “I believe that exchange of words is enough for today,” she approached us. “Nana, this doesn’t concern you. It’s better that you return inside. You don’t even know what we’re talking about,” Mallory snarled at Nana. “Can’t you show Nana some respect?” I scolded Mallory. “Don’t vent all of your frustrations on her. She’s not involved in this.” “Why defend her? She’s not your family?” she answered. “Who are you to tell me how to treat her?” “Mallory, don’t make me break my promise to your mother,” Nana threatened as she stood near us. “I don’t need your stupid promises to my mother! I can take care of myself,” she replied to Nana, showing every single speck of arrogance in her body. “Well, if that’s the case, I would like for you to leave the castle grounds,” Nana remarked, holding her head up high. Mallory was silenced immediately. “You said you can take care of yourself, am

Why was Mother refusing to receive treatment from the Medicine King? It was quite clear that he wanted Mother to recover. But she didn’t seem to be enthusiastic about it. And what sort of treatment did the Medicine King pertain to? “Amelia, I made it very clear that this treatment can be your last chance of survival,” the Medicine King explained firmly. It was evident that he was begging for Mother’s approval. “It may not completely heal you. But it can slow down whatever virus is inside of you.” “Good sir, you can see my state. An Immortal, weak, fragile, and unable to leave her bed. How can I go to another city with my condition?” she questioned, with a hint of humour and sarcasm in her tone. “Amelia, this matter isn’t to be taken lightly,” the Medicine King scolded her. He continued, “Your situation is already a matter of life and death. If you agree to this treatment, I can go and get the materials needed so we can begin.” “I’m already too ill to handle too much stress. As muc

The Impact of Her (ALL SEASONS) ~ Epilogue - Season V ~
A prince had a peaceful night all to himself.His fireplace burned brightly as it kept his quarters warm against the harsh, cold atmosphere outside the old castle he currently resided in. A direct view of the beautiful moon outside his window. And a scrumptious meal right in front of him.He happily dug into his meal, which was something that he hadn’t done in a long while. Not after all the sleepless nights that he had. As well as the days where he pretended in front of his family.‘Ah, finally,’ he thought to himself as he cut through the tender meat on his plate. ‘A night where I can finally enjoy my food.’Just as soon as he was going to take a bite, a knock came upon his door. He groaned as he put his fork down. “Who is it?” he answered, irritated.The door creaked open and a servant called out of the dark. “Prince Benjamin?”“I thought I made it clear that I wanted to be left alone for a few hours,” Benjamin replied as he scratched his forehead.“My apologies, Your Highness, but

“Grandpa Ben?” my brows knitted together as I called out.“What are you doing here? Where did you come from?” I asked as he approached us.Grandpa Ben stopped right before us. He immediately glared at Gonzalo. But Gonzalo didn’t back down. He stared right back at Grandpa Ben.Grandpa Ben then cleared his throat and returned to me. “Go ahead. Bring Laura back. However, I want for the both of you to return safely. If I don’t see you with her, I will never forgive you even in death.”“Have you no regards to his life?!” Gonzalo protested, making us turn to him. “For the sake of getting your daughter back, you’re willing to put the prince at risk?! Don’t you mortals ever think of anything but yourselves?!”“And what about you Immortals? Don’t you do the same?” Grandpa Ben snapped. “I may look like a weak, old man. But I’m well-versed with stories of your kind. I never imagined that the myths of gods and goddesses being selfish were actually true. But you,” he pointed a finger at Gonzalo, “

The moon shone high in the sky as I looked out my bedroom window.The whole room was pitch black, dark as the night sky above. And only the powerful moonlight was able to illuminate my room.Well, at least a portion of it.I was incredibly frustrated with everything that I never bothered to light my torches as night fell.After I returned from James’ study, I remained in my room and did absolutely nothing. I simply sat by the window and drank tea without any signs of stopping. I also requested for an early dinner, an attempt to avoid James during dinner time.I just wanted to be left alone.I just wanted some space.‘I just want progress. Was that too much to ask for?’ my mind shouted, helpless as no one could hear it. And no one bothered to listen or even ask me.Then, a knock on my door echoed throughout the room. But I didn’t answer. I already rejected persistent knockings as I remained in my quarters. Even though someone from the other end called for my name, I never made my prese

Bethilda’s mouth hung in disbelief.“Your Highness, my heart's already breaking for the sacrifice that I am to make. Against my own beliefs and wishes, I am giving you my men to aid your cause. Just because I want them to have some time to prepare, that doesn’t mean I am on the other side of this debacle,” Bethilda protested.She added, “Your impatience will put their lives at risk. And that’s a risk that I will never be willing to take.”I pressed my lips together as my nose flared after a deep sigh. Truth be told, I gave my full respect to Bethilda as she put her servants before anything. However, I couldn’t wait again for a longer time. We already wasted too much time here and we never made any sort of progress in terms of the rescue mission.I cared for Bethilda’s household the same as I did for my own. But we couldn’t afford to wait another week before we could proceed. We didn’t even have the slightest clue on what could be happening within Benjamin’s territory.The mere thought

Bethilda’s eyes widened whilst James immediately turned to my direction.This was the fastest solution that I could think of. James already exhausted all of his efforts for this debacle. I had to do something, even if he didn’t like it.Bethilda looked to James for a moment before she returned to me. “Whatever the reason is for this sudden request of aid, I am afraid that it will do you more harm than good,” she answered. She added, “My soldiers aren’t fully trained for combat. I only trained them to protect and to distract enemies. And besides, I don’t think that His Majesty is in favour of this decision of yours, Your Highness.”“James has already given his all for our cause. We don’t know who to turn to and we are running out of time,” I answered. James’ stare never left but I paid no mind. I had no time to argue with him.Bethilda asked, “Have you reached out to other kingdoms? I know that you are attempting to rescue a friend. If that is the case, shouldn’t it be advised to ask t

“I already sent some of the guards to gather more troops back home.“We don’t know how many men Benjamin has to protect him,” James replied. “As much as possible, I don’t want to spill too much blood, especially within their territory. I don’t want this debacle to cause a scandal. And I also don’t want to destroy our alliance with them. At the same time, we can’t waste the lives of more men, both on his side and ours.”For James to still honour our alliance with Eastern Sun, even after what Benjamin did, was frustrating.Benjamin betrayed me. Trust and loyalty were values that I held in high regard. But Benjamin disregarded that, all because he didn’t get what he wanted.For that action alone, the friendship between our kingdoms was also destroyed. How could we possibly trust a traitor? Even if that person was our ally, it already destroyed their credibility as someone we trusted deeply.However, I understood why James was still worried about the alliance. Eastern Sun wasn’t simply a

Marcus chuckled as he shrugged.He looked down to his feet and replied, “My loyalty to the duchess is more than just of a servant, Your Highness. And even though that was the case for me,” Marcus returned to me, “I never overstepped nor did I ever use my emotions to my advantage. I respected her as my mistress. The person who gave me a home and a new life. Nothing more, nothing less.”Marcus’ response rendered me speechless.Who would’ve thought that a servant would develop strong feelings towards their mistress?Perhaps because of Bethilda’s care towards Marcus, his gratitude slowly turned into something else. Unfortunately, in this world - or in any other world in that retrospect - a relationship between a servant and their master would never be acceptable.I could only feel the ache on Marcus’ behalf as I once felt the same for Laura. That feeling that we wished we were born within the same kind of beings, just so nothing would be able to stand in the way of what we felt for each o

“Thank you for accompanying me all the way here.“For now,” I turned to the two guards behind me, “I would like to have a moment alone.”After I woke up from my nap, I decided to take a quick stroll around the castle grounds. Luckily, the guards told me that Bethilda had a small garden. So, I asked them to show me its location.The two guards shared glances with each other, worried and unsure. One of them replied, “But Your Highness, His Majesty specifically said that should you ask for our company, we are not to leave you alone. Especially when you are outside the castle.”I chuckled. “There is nothing to be scared of, gentlemen. With the location of the duchess’ residence, it’s a bit impossible for enemies to attack from within these walls,” I explained. “At the same time, I don't think that these walls are penetrable from all fronts.”The guards looked at each other again, still uncertain of what to do.I sighed, which made them turn to me. “I assure you, I can manage on my own. I

“And how long have you been in service within the duchess’ household?” I asked the maid in front of me.An hour had already passed and I was still only halfway through the inspection. I had to be very careful when I asked certain questions. At the same time, I had to discern personalities behind prim and proper facades.I couldn’t rush the process even if I wanted to. I didn’t know who could possibly have dark motives against Bethilda so I had to proceed with caution. I didn’t want to be the cause of her death, all because I chose the wrong people to serve her.“I have been serving the duchess for seven years,” the maid replied.“Ah, that would mean that you are fairly new within the household,” I said as I wrote the information down. “In your few years of service, how familiar are you with everything?”Her response was interrupted when my doors suddenly opened. We turned our heads and watched as James entered my room. Immediately, we stood and gave our greetings.“Did I interrupt any
