The King's faceless wife. chapter 72
I kept my steps calm and steady, trying not to let the council men know that their looks were making me question my decision.I ran my eyes over them, Lord Dom, Lord Cassian, Lord Damon and Victor at one side, while Sir Hunder, Lord Hero and Lord Jeremy sat by the other.I let out a silent breath before I walked closer to Barlion's seat at the head of the table. The council men looked at me with curiosity as I stepped in front of the seat and lowered myself."What do you think you are doing?" Lord Damon asked.I turned my eyes over to him, the lord of warfare. I was actually a bit surprised that Lord Damon talked first instead of Lord Jeremy."His grace Barlion has requested my presence in the council chambers. He wishes for me to relay his apologies for not being able to attend the last few meeting but as you all know, our king needs his rest now than ever. Even though he wishes to join the council chambers, he has decided to take a few more days for himself, but he doesn't wish to

I rubbed my eyes with the tip of my finger, trying to chase the headache away.Arementa knelt before me, crying her eyes out, sobbing to the point that the empty chamber, the one Barlion had been staying in before we were moved to the King's quarter.Sir Hunder did not waste a single moment to go look for this woman. He took two of his most loyal knights, Sir Dominic and Sir Jusepea, leaving Sir Luther and Sir Marge.The head of the Knights had informed me that Sir Dominic and Sir Jusepea were not fit to be personal guards to anyone as they were too wild but, he also mentioned that they were loyal to a fault and would destroy any threat as if it was a little bug.Sir Marge on the other hand has not earn trust from Sir Hunder or from me. because Sir Hunder knows that Sir Marge is too loyal to a single person, the former queen Sity.I had wanted Arementa's visit to be kept a secret for now, which was why Sir Hunder chose to leave sir Marge out of it.Which is why we are in Barlion's pre

I placed the papers Lord Jeremy had given me for Barlion to sigh at the very center of the large council chamber and watched as each council men picked a paper.There were a total of nine signed papers, one for each the council member and the king to keep and one more for the books.They each traced their eyes over Barlion's signature and I could see them glancing at the other papers to make sure that it was the same.Losing sleep was the best back hand to learning Barlion signature."Very well then. Have you brought back a reply for yesterday's given matters?" Lord Jeremy asked, still looking down at the signature with a frown on his face.I saw Sir Hunder glance at me frim the corner of my eyes and I knew he was worried.We had forgotten about that, was what he was trying to tell me with his eyes. But how could I.While I was copying Barlion's signatures on to endless papers, my mind was still working.I might not be a king or might not have received any law training like these men

The last place I wanted to be before court was the tea gallery.I had wanted to spend the next hour going through the cases that will be presented before the court, but while I'm secretly playing the role of a King, I couldn't stop being the Queen either.So, it meant that I needed to be present at the weekly gathering I had with the women royals of the main castle.I looked down at the basket filled with Jewelries, and to some of the women's dislike, all entirely black.As soon as the older royals, except for Merry saw the colors, their faces wrinkled. But the younger royals looked excited for the change, especially Layla.She had dug in as soon as she sat down near me.Princess Victoria once again sat next to me and Cilvia and Layla followed. Lady Sity. and sister Emilia, Lady Cassandra and her daughter Julia sat further away from me, but I didn't mind. I was actually a bit surprised to see Lady Sity.The former Queen has not been seen since the day of the King's Visit. She never

I stood outside of court, the doors standing tall infront of me.I pressed my right hand flat against my stomach, feeling a little sick as I looked at the entrance of the court halls.The small crown on top of my head felt heavy, heavier than it has ever been and I wondered of Barlion ever felt this way each time he goes to court.I let out a heavy sigh, blowing the thick cloth covering my nose and lips along the way.After a few more minutes, I mustered up the courage to push the doors open and step in to the court halls.The hall was nearly empty and I wondered if I had come too early.With a frown on my face, I walked further in to the court, my eyes jumping from one corner to the next.I have only been in this court twice since I came to the main castle. The first time was on my wedding day and the second was on the day Viper had the bells rung.In those days I had thought the hall was small, though it could fill a thousand people at a time, with the amount of body's standing aro

I didn't waste a single second as I got off the bed.Closing the list of handmaids, I softly dropped it on the small table next to my side of the bed. I grabbed the tray of food and walked over to the dining table and covered it. Even though I am not close to eating half of it, I couldn't eat more.After sliding my shoes on, I grabbed a thick close and covered my nose and lips before I turned to sir Hunder.I was surprised to see Sir Shadow standing by the door. When ever I am with Sir Hunder or in the council chambers, I'd make sure to leave Sir Shadow with Barlion so he could keep him safe like he kept me safe during the attack at the King's visit.I followed Sir Hunder through the halls that leads to the dungeons beneath the Castle.The last time I was there, Barlion was showing me a best up Dorian, chained at the very last cell of the dungeons. I wondered if anyone ever found out about that.Sir Hunder remained silent on they way and I refrained from asking any questions. When we

Pushing the door of our chambers, I entered the room and tore off my thick cloth with a gasp.Sir Shadow stood up with a start and grabbed his sword but when he realized that it was me, he relaxed. But only for a few seconds.When he saw how distraut I looked, he rushed up to me."Your grace?" He called out as he grabbed me by my forearm and led me to the bed. He helped me sit down on my side of the bed."What should I do?" He asked.I opened my lips to answer him but only a violent cough came out. pressing my palm flat against my lips, I leaned down and let out a few more coughs.The couches burned their way out and when I finally got some air back in my lung, I let my hand fall."Mirra... Go get Mirra." I whispered and Sir Shadow sprang in action, rushing to the door and disappearing.The red spots around my neck flared, forcing me to dig my nails in to my skin.I broke out in tears as I scratched the itchy spots. A sob escaped my throat as I kept scratching.The first thing I had

I stood in front of the court hall doors, ready to enter.My mind briefly took me back to the council meeting I just had. Grumpy, might be the council members but none asked about Barlion. I had waited anxiously for one of them to bring up Lord Jeremy's finding but it seems, My husband's uncle kept his secret to himself.His absence at the council meeting did worry me because he didn't look like a man who took his responsibilities so easily.Sir Hunder had been my other worry. The head of knights barely spoke during the meeting, only voicing his concern as a council member when he had to.When the meeting came to an end and the council members started leaving, I had asked Sir Hunder of his finding but he only shook his head, telling me that it should wait until after court.Taking a deep breath, I pulled myself out of the memory and pushed to door open. When the doors led way in the the court hall, I almost took a step back at how overwhelming the hall looked.It was packed.The peo

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
