Barlion Great...I sated down at the papers speared on the dining table. They have case numbers and names along with descriptions.They are obviously court cases but, what are they doing here?I caught movements on the bed at the corner of my eyes and I glanced over my left shoulder to see Frost stretching her arms above her head.She caught my eyes and then playfully glared at me. I still don't know what she did to her eyes to make them dark."You already broke your promise." She said as she swung her legs over the edge of the bed. "You said you'd be here in bed with me."I gave Frost a soft smile before I dropped the guide book on the table and walked over to her. Offering Frost both of my hands, I watched as she slipped her hands in to mine and stand up.Frost immediately wrapped her arms around my waist. "I was just a few feet away from the bed." I argued as my arms snaked around her shoulders but Frost tensed at the contact before she relaxed in my arms,
Frost Sorrow...My entire body was screaming in exhaustion. My limbs were forcing me to sit down on the bed that has been trying to pull me in to for the last hour.After we had filled Barlion about everything that had happened in his absence, the rest of the group had left and Barlion had drawn me the bath he had promised.I'd sat in the warm water, sharing the bath with my husband and I think I'd dozed off. Because, next thing I know Bar was gently shaking my right shoulder and when I woke up, the water had grown cold.Now, a few minutes after leaving the bathroom, I was ready to sleep for a few days straight.I settled down against the bed and before I could close my eyes, Barlion walked in to my vision, wearing his royals clothes and his crown on top of his head.I sat up on the bed to admire Barlion. It felt amazing to finally see him up and ready to defeat the odds.He doesn't even look like he was passed out for weeks. Yes, he'd gotten a bit thinner due to the lack of m
Barlion Great...I stared down at Frost as she dozed off in to a deep sleep. It didn't even take her a full minute.I pushed the few strands of hair falling down her face to the side. With her beautiful frost blue eyes closed, Frost looked do peaceful as if she hadn't went through so much in the last few weeks.My chest squeezed as I recalled everything that she and her little group had told me.Frost, my wife, had sat on the throne in my stead, addressing our people without fell. She marched in to the council chambers and faced off men who are cunning and intimidating even to most men.She became a King and a Queen all at once, keeping the Kingdom float.How many people can say that they have achieved so much in such little time? How many can say that they know a person that is willing to die for them, that had put their lives in danger to protect them?I haven't used a lot of words to thank Frost for all she had done for me and our people. But, I'm going to show her
Court went on fine.Victor had surprised me by carrying on his responsibility well.The humiliation the three had received was just as exciting.I returned to our chambers and found Sir Shadow still standing by the door.I remembered what Frost has told me.This knight had been so dedicated in protecting her that he had neglected his own health.He had saved her during the King's visit attack and continued to protect her as much as he could."Sir Shadow, You can go get some rest and make sure to return before sun rise." I ordered before I walked in to the chambers.My eyes immediately jumped to the bed and saw that Frost hasn't moved since I last left her after breakfast this morning.I softly closed the door before I walked closer to the bed. Sitting down at the edge of the bed, I watched as Frost stirred but quickly settles back down, blows put a breath and went back to sleep.A small smile stretched against my lips and the tension in my body quickly disappeared.I stayed by her sid
Frost Sorrow...Mirra came a few minutes later to change my bandage. Like I'd told Bar, the wound was healing well.When Mirra had asked if I wanted to have my breakfast right away or wait, I told her that I would be eating at the dining table with Bar and the rest of the royals.Mirra was surprised to hear that, in turn, surprising me of how she didn't know already.I then told her that Bar had asked me to join him at the dining table. The word didn't seem to travel that fast. Mirra said that the main castle is going wild with the news of the three royals walking around in their robs. Their appearances had shocked the castle so much that no other news was worth the gossip.After she'd changed my bandage, I wore a black royals dress with the length falling down to the ground the the sleeves long and wide.Ever since Bar had given me the small dagger bracelet, I've been gravitating towards the wider sleeves so I'd be able to wear it around.Barlion sat on the bed, dressed
Barlion Great...I clenched my hands in to a ball, eager to finally charge those two men standing by the councils corner near my wife, still in their robes.I glanced at Frost and loved how her eyes were on me. She gave me a small encouraging smile.Frost might not have noticed but there were a lot of eyes on her. This is the first time that she's standing in front of her people without wearing her thick cloth on and I could tell that many were admiring her, as they should.When Victor called out the last case, I glanced at him. We would be done soon so we cam present that additional two cases.I glanced at the entrance of the hall and saw the royals of the main castle inter.I haven't extended any invitations to the royals but seeing as I insisted on keeping the three in their robes, they must have sensed that something was fishy.I felt bad for the twins and for Cilvia. I don't think Cilvia would mind that much if her father is humiliated in front of this many people. But
"I lost two council men today, one bound to serve the people and one to be executed tomorrow." I commented as I stared at the man kneeling on the ground with his arms raised up above his head, chained to the roof of the cell."Who should I replace them with?" I asked as I leaned my below a against the bars of the cell. "Landon should replace his father, it's Damon's seat I'm worried about."I glanced down at him."You would have made a great Lord or Warfare, Dorian. You had the mindset for it. You were just as ruthless as Damon. But I guess, you would have been our downfall, because like Damon, you're too selfish. You would have brought war to my door step."I regarded Dorian's limp figure. His head hung low between his shoulders.He looked thinner than the last time I saw him, but his wounds have been healing.I let out a soft sigh as I waited for Sir Dominic to return. A few minutes later, he returned with Uncle Dom walking in front of him."What do you want?" Uncle Dom asked, stil
Frost Sorrow...It has been a weak since Barlion returned to our chambers covered in blood from top to bottom.That night had scared me.When Barlion walked in with blood all over his body, he'd walked in to the bathroom and had bared himself in.He had really worried me. I'd asked him what was wrong and why he was covered in blood. My worry was if any of the blood belonged to him.Barlion didn't answer any of my questions. Instead, he took the next hour to wash the blood off of him before he finally unbared the door of the bathroom and walked out.I'd been mad at that point and had tried to give him the silent treatment, which lasted only for a few minutes before he was able to kiss his way out of it.From that day, Bar has returned to out chambers covered in blood twice more. Tonight was one of those nights.Every since the first night, he's been quite. I'd catch him staring in to the distance. He's also refused to join the rest of the royals at the dining hall for supper, lunch and
Frost Sorrow... ***One year later***Bar sighed for the fifth time tonight. He laid under the covers on his side with my back pressed to his bare chest, his right hand fingers brushing against my large belly.I couldn't see him but I could tell that he was wide awake. But even if he was awake, I could tell that he wasn't here with me. He was somewhere in his mind.Because if he was here, he would have noticed that the soft strokes of his fingers to my belly were forcing the baby to kick me harder.Placing my hand over his, I stopped the movement."Bar?" I called out but he didn't answer."Bar?""Hmm... Yeah?" He finally replied."Where did you go?" I asked."I didn't go anywhere. I'm right here." Letting put a groan, I pushed myself up to my elbow and dragged myself to a sitting position."Are you worried about tomorrow's wedding ceremony?" I asked.Barlion sat up next toe and pressed his back against the large head board."I'm not worried about the ceremony. I think." He replied w
Barlion Great...The sight of her made my heart stop. Those frost blue eyes clashed with mine and the air left my lungs.All I wanted to do was run up to her, take her in my arms, feel her... Is she real? She has to be, otherwise I will lose it once and for all. I took a small step in to the dining hall, my eyes still trained on her.The conversation in the dining hall had long stopped and I could feel eyes on me. But I didn't dare look back at any of them. If I did, I was too scared that she might disappear.I watched as Frost slowly stood up and walked over to me. Her steps had no hesitation in them, unlike mine. When Frost and I finally stood before each other, all I needed to do was reach out and touch her to know that she's really here.Frost didn't say anything at first. Her lips were slightly open and she looked like she wanted to say something.Taking a deep breath, I slowly raised my right hand up and cupped her cheek.She's really here. My Frost is really here.My
Frost Sorrow...My stomach was making a roll when our boat got closer to the dock of the Gold Land Kingdom.It's been two long years... Two horribly long years.I was nervous for many reasons but the biggest one was finally seeing him.My father had already sent forward for a small carriage to be rented so by the time we reached the dock, a small carriage was waiting for us.Father kept my hand in his the entire way to the dock. It felt like he knew of my nerves. Each squeeze he gave my hand gave me encouragement.When we arrived at the dock, a carriage waited for us.Stepping out of the boat, I loved the feel of the cold air blowing against my cheeks, my bare cheeks. The strands of my hair brushed against my face as the wind blew, reminding me that the last two horrible years were actually worth it.There were a few eyes on my father, Sir Hunder and myself as we hopped in to the rented carriage.As the driver slowly led his two horses through the Kingdom, my ey
I walked in to the large library o next morning.The gates towards the other entrance of the library was not open yet so it was empty and quite. I walked through the large shelves before I made it to the sitting area.Just as I thought, I found Victor sitting at one of the large tables, looking straight ahead at the displayed book in a glass."Thought I'd find you here." I commented, drawing Victor's eyes towards me before I walked over and sat next to him.Victor returned his eyes to the book.I stared ahead and pride filled me at the sight of the single book placed in the glass.Anyone who came could look at it, admire it but was not allowed to touch it as it was incomplete."The King's Faceless Wife." I read put the titled before a wide smile stretched my lips.About a year and a half ago, after Victor had gained full conscious and was able to move around his chambers, the large library was the first place he visited.Lady Waina, bless her resting soul, had suggested that she writ
*** 2 years later ***I sat at the head of the council table, going through yet another council meeting with my council men.Uncle Hero, like always, too the lead. He reported about the matters of our people. He sat next to his son Jeremaya, who I'd made the Lord of all tales.It's a new seat on the council. After I'd met with King Ezgard of the Half Shifter Kingdom and he bragged about all the spies he has in all the other Kingdoms, I thought why not?Jeremaya has always been a quite kid and he knew how to blend in to a crowd so he was now, the Lord of all tales. The head of spies who collect important information related to our Kingdom from other Kingdoms.Landon continued with the financial reports he has for today then, surprise surprise, his twin sister Layla continued with the warfare reports.I'd made her Lady of warfare about a year ago with the council's great persuasion. Landon, most of all had supported her the most and she was able to prove herself. She had a hidden talent
Watching the first snow fall alone without Frost made me ache. She'd been excited about the first snow. I'd caught her a few times as she was looking out the window, expecting it to fall any moment before she'd gotten hurt.She didn't even get to see it before she left.I don't know how long we stood by the docks. I stared off across the water, wishing her a safe travel.When the people of our Kingdom started flooding the docks, Sir Hunder requested that we should leave.It took everything in me to turn my back to the water and walk back to the carriage.Sir Hunder and Mirra hopped in after Lady Winter did and we rode back to the main castle.Sir Hunder and Mirra were huddled at one side and the head of Nights refused to let her out of his arms. It wasn't like Mirra was complaining or anything. The two looked too cozy, reminding me that I wouldn't have that anymore.'She will return to you.' My subconscious tried to assure but I didn't dare answer it.No matter how long it takes, I
The chambers fell in silence.I watched as Lord King and Lady Winter shared a look.I looked over to Frost and realized that her eyes were following me with worry. Letting out a sigh, I looked back at Lord King."I want to talk to my wife alone first." I commented when I realized that I couldn't be selfish enough to keep her from going with them.Lord King didn't look like he was going to let me have a second with her but then he dropped his eyes to Frost and they softened."We'll need to stock up for the journey. It will take a while to get there so we need to take everything." Lord King commented as he looked back at me.I glanced at Sir Hunder and nodded my head. I had no other words. If They are really going to take my wife then they will have everything they need and more for the journey. Sir Hunder bowed his head before he walked out of the chambers. Lord King and Lady Winter followed after him. Mirra was the last to leave Frost and I alone in our chambers.As soon as the door
Barlion Great...I had my arm wrapped around Frost's waist as I looked down at the head stone of Uncle Jeremy grave.'Lord Jeremy Great. A Brother, An Uncle, A Friend and A True Protector.' That was what's written on the head stone.I read it over and over again.The head stone was made from a large green gem, one found only in our Kingdom.The green gem glows a different shade of color at the contrast of the son, each angel changing color.Our black smith had carved the words in perfect shape and hade covered each letter with black paint so it would be easier to read.The rest of the royals had left a whole ago and I could feel Frost leaning on me. She was tired but she didn't say anything just so I would spend more time with Uncle Jeremy.I let out a sigh before I turned to Frost. She looked up at me with her frost blue eyes, her gaze sad and her eyes bloodshot. Those tears would have burned the spots on her skin.After I pressed a kiss against her forehead, I leaned d
Frost Sorrow...I dreaded waking up again but my body forced me to.No matter how long I closed my eyes, it wouldn't stop the pain from blinding me even more.Stifling a groan, I slowly pealed my eyes open and I looked up at the ceiling."You're up?" Victor whispered from beside me and I turned my head to look at him."Yeah. You?""Lord Kiza was here to change my bandage he left a few seconds ago after giving me the sleeping herbs." He whispered and he looked back at me. "It's king of weird that this is the first time were talking to each other even though we've been sleeping together for the past week." I chuckled at his commented."How are you feeling?" He asked."I'm fine." I replied with a soft sigh. "What about you? You don't look good."Victor was pale and his hair was sticking to his forehead because of the sweat. "You should look at yourself." Victor commented with a chuckle.A small smile crawled on my lips but I quickly stopped it when it felt the red spots on my
