"I never really had the prevelage to go out and explore the outside world. That's why I asked Prince Barlion to take me along with him."I directed my answer and attention over to the twins and explained further why I I wen out with Barlion instead of giving Dorian Great a single answer to his ridiculous questions.Layla smirked before she glanced at her twin brother. The two once again shared a look as if they knew that I was purposefully avoiding Dorian Great."It must have been quite exciting." Landon asked with a cocked eyebrow."It sure was. The people were nice and I got to see the inside of the Mines."A loud gasp caught my attention and I turned my head to the side to see Princess Victoria was covering her widely opened mouth as she stared at me."You saw the inside of the Mines?" She asked in an awe voice.I nodded my head and saw all the woman look at me with envy. It wasn't the kind of envy that looked like they wanted to cut me down for experiencing something they haven't,
I walked over to Prince Barlion's chambers amd I was surprised when I realized that there wasn't any shadow following my every steps.I stopped once to look around, still not believing the freedom I felt at the mere thought of not being seen from the dark hall corners.It felt good.On my way to his chambers, I was constantly thinking about our conversation in the garden.After Prince Barlion had admitted that he didn't like it when I walked out on him, I felt something weird. Something was flipping and fluttering in my stomach. I had felt a flattered stomach before but that felt different.I'd placed my right hand flat against my stomach as soon as he said that and looked away.His gorgeous face shining in the sun did not help my stomach.Because it had been lunch hour, I told him that I needed to go to my temporary chambers and he had wished me a good meal, as did I.It felt like the whole conversation we had had opened a gate way between us. It felt a lot more lighter to be around
Barlion Great...I looked down at my sleeping wife with my head tilted to the right. With her head rested at the center of the large open book and her arms handing down my chair, she couldn't look more adorable.The thick cloth covering her face had slipped a bit to the side, revealing the smooth skin of her right jawline and some parts of her chin.The sight of a small scar caught my eyes and I leaned a bit closer to look at it.There, on the side of her chin and a small line scar that looked like it faded a while ago yet, with her pale skin, it stood out.I wonder how she got the scar?Reaching out, I pressed the tip of my thumb on the scar and felt it under my finger.The contact woke Frost up and she let out a small groan before she squinted her eyes open.I pulled back and watched as she held on to the left side of her neck with her left hand and squeezed it a bit. Frost slowly lifted her head up from the book, causing the thick cloth to drop back and c
Frost Sorrow...Letting out a soft groan, I stretched my hands over my head before I rolled to my side and hugged the pillow next to me.I took in a deep breath and inhaled only to be met by Prince Barlion's scent.Throwing my eyes open, I jerked up in bed and realized that I was sleeping in the Prince's chambers.As I was looking around his chambers, I remembered everything thay happened the Previous night. From getting to Prince Barlion's chambers to finding him in his study, from sharing such an intimate talk to almost taking my cloth off, from the loud bangs to the uncomfortable sleep by the desk and finally from learning the truth about Damon to getting tucked in bed by my husband.Letting out a sigh, I ran my fingers through my hair before I stood up.I glanced at the window to see that it was fully covered and not a single ray of light slipped in. I should probably go to my temporary chambers by now.With another sigh, I picked up my cloth from the small table by t
I tried to walk past him but Dorian Great stepped in my way. I stepped aside to move around him yet he stepped in my way again.My heart was pounding in my chest in the worse possible way."Don't leave yet." Dorian purred out as he took another step closer to me. "How about we... play a little.""Please Step away." I asked before I tried to walk past him again but there in was, stepping in my way again."Oooh begging already?" He laughed. "It's too soon but I like the sound of it."Realizing that I wasn't going to make it past him, I made the mistake of turning around to walk the other direction.I might not be able to get to the safety of my temporary chambers but the main dining hall, the art chambers and the kitchen was near me.I took a few steps but the burn on my scalp made me scream. I was pulled back, unable to truly register that Dorian Great had slid his wicked fingers through my hair and used it to drag me back."Don't walk away from me, you whore." He roared out and it was
Barlion Great....The previous day had been great. The news Uncle Jeremy had delivered to me had made my day.Old man Damon's corrupted ways were really good for me. Not good for the Kingdom but good for me.Cassian was already handled and now so is Damon.The man is a hot head and had tried to go for my throat when he came to talk to me, just like how uncle Jeremy and I had predicted.The man might be sixty, the same age as my father, but he too has not lost his touch in the art of making a threat.He had swore up and down that he would ruin my life. He had even raised his hands up to strike me. Of course, I wouldn't let him.With the simple reminder of who my father was and how he hated thieves and liers, the man was floored just like Cassian was.When he was calm enough to listen to me properly, I told him that I had damning evidence against him and that I would be glad to forget about all of it if he gives me his vote and support my claim for the crown.Damion had
I watched as uncle Dom sunk to his knees and pressed his hands flat against each other."Please, Barlion, Please." He begged.All it would take to get to Dorian was a single shove, but I hesitated. Squeezing the handle of Sir Hunder's sword, I tried to reason with myself. Dorian deserves to have his head chopped off for even thinking to touch my wife. Yet, here I am, hesitating to drop the sword on his throat and end his pathetic life.Father must have seen my hesitation because he marched in to the room and snatched the sword out of my hand."Hunder, take this scum in to one of the dungeons. He will await his fate there." King Viper roared before he he handed the knight his sword and walked out."What?" Victor outrageously yelled. "What do you mean await his fate? You should have his head on a like right now and get it over with.""Enough!" Father snapped at Victor. "Dorian will receive the same court time as any other man. His case will be presented first."Father stormed out of th
Frost Sorrow...The world felt still.My body was numb and my mind was foggy.At first, I embraced the fog, letting it stop me from going back in to consciousness. I tried to hold on to the bliss quite but the fog slowly started pealing off of my body, forcing it to jerk away.My eyes slowly opened on their own accord no matter how much I tried to keep them closed. I peeked around the room and realized that I was in my temporary chambers. I tried to push myself into a sitting position but the numbness quickly lifted off of my body, leaving me totally aching.I let out a soft gasp when a force weighed my body down, pressing me against the soft mattress of my bed."My Lady!" I heard Mirra's voice and I turned my head to the right to see her slowly approaching me."My Lady. are you awake?" She asked.I tired to answer her question with words but my throat was dry, preventing me from letting a squeal out.Mirra must have seen my discomfort because she immediatl
