The King's faceless wife. chapter 86
"That's not fair." I whispered a complaint as Lord Jeremy lectures me about the children born from outside of a marriage. It is never the child's fault and it has not their choices to be born from outside of marriage. But the punishment mostly lies on them.This children get the last of everything and that's if people want them to have anything. They have no right to their parent's wealth or properties. Not even crumbs of their families."It is the way it works. Those born of true blood need to come first. Those born outside of marriage may be bound by these laws but they are also considered to be the most dangerous. If they ever do attack, they don't have anything to lose, only to gain.""It still doesn't sound fair.""Sometimes Frost, What's right is not fair and what's fair is not right. You don't have to question the law or even understand it. All you have to do is execute it."Lord Jeremy glanced at Barlion and I realized he wasn't just talking about anyone. He was talking about

Milla, Bella and Kira stood in front of me, looking around the large library with theor jaws down on the ground. The three girls were the ones' I met a few weeks ago before the king's visit when I was picking out my very first handmaids.They had been the three girls that were sent to the main castle so their families could get money but they didn't want to be handmaids. They are the three girls I had asked Barlion to find a home for near the main castle until I knew what to do with them.When Lady Waina asked for a girl she can train so that the library doesn't die, the three girls had popped in my head. I'd asked Sir Hunder to send someone to fetch the girls from the fish market they were working in and with in the hour, he had returned with the girls.Nervous as they were at the sudden summon, the girls looked excited to be around books."I don't know how to right well but I can read." Milla had commented when I had told them why I'd brought them here."Girls?" I called out to gra

Sir Marge lunged at me and kike any human with a normal reaction would do, I duked.The Knight missed my face by an inch but his body knocked in to mine, pushing me down to the floor.I looked at him over my shoulder and realized that he was stepping closer to Barlion with the dagger aimed at him.Quickly jumping to my knees, I wrapped my arms around his legs, preventing him form reaching my husband.Sir Marge tried to shake me off and when he couldn't manage to get my grip to loosed, he reached down with his left hand and grabbed me by my hair.A scream riped out from my throat, filling the quite chambers. If we had been in any parts of the main castle, someone would have heard me scream. But, we're in the King's quarter, the most secluded part of the main castle.I doubt anyone will here me unless they're near the door.Sir Marge pulled me up to my feet and before he lets go of my hair and backhands me across the face.My vision blurred for a second before I could see him again.

I leaned my head back against the tub and closed my eyes. Every time I do that, I see Sir Marge jumping towards me with his dagger. Then I see his lifeless body laying on the ground with my small silver dagger sticking from the side of his neck.I let out a sigh before I opened my eyes back up.The quite bathroom did so little to calm me. Even though Mirra had pored some scented oils to ease the tension from my muscles, I was sitting really tense.Drawing my knees up to my chest, I wrapped my arms around them but I instantly regretted it when the wound on my shoulder burned.Letting out a hiss, I let my knees go and fall back.Mirra, like the collected sister that she is, helped me off the floor after I'd spilled my guts all over the marvelous carpet, took me to the bathroom, helped me wash to blood off and stitched my wound.The stab had not been too deep so there was no need to call for Lord Kiza. Mirra knew how to take care of it. She applied some herbs over the cut and wrapped it

I looked down at the basket filled with green jewelries but my hands never made a move to reach for any one if them.The tea gallery was oddly quite and Lady Sity was late. Her seat still lay empty and I was eager to see her.If she was truly the one who sent Sir Marge, then I'm sure she will react in some ways.I had almost cancelled this weekends tea gallery meeting just like I did last time. But I couldn't miss it.My shoulder was aching and there was a throb right between my eyes. My lower lip and a bit swollen from the back hand Sir Marge had delivered but they wouldn't be able to see it as my thick cloth had covered it.My hands though, if I was to reach for a jewelery, they will be able to see the cuts on my right hand.I lifted her eyes to look at the lady royals sitting around me. It was the usual arrangement. The younger royals sat around me except for julia. The other woman still blamed me for her brother's exile. It's either that, or she's scared I might hold a grudge on h

Mirra wrapped a fresh bandage around my shoulder, pulling in under my armpit before she rounded the wound again and took the bandage to the other shoulder to make sure it's secured.I let out a heavy breath as soon as she's done. The herbs she applied over the wound was pulling at the pain, making the cut throb to the point where I just want to rip mu entire arm off to stop the pain.I glanced at Barlion and a frown took over my face. I was stabbed in the shoulder but he was stabbed in the chest.I couldn't imagine the amount of pain he was in and it made me thankful that he's sleeping through the healing process so he won't hurt more.It made me feel really bad.A soft knock on the door caught my attention and I watched as Mirra walked over to the door and slowly pull it to peek at who it was.I didn't hear what the other person said but Mirra nodded her head before she closed the door and walked over to me."My Queen, a girl named Bella came looking for you. She said Lady Waina sent

I watched in shock as Victor walked… Stumble in to the chambers. His light green eyes were moving around the room before they landed on me. His lips stretched in to a small smile and he tried to walk over to me, only, he tripped on his own feet and landed on the floor,That’s when the heavy scent of alcohol hits me.Victor lets out a soft groan before he struggled back to his feet.My eyes jumped over to Sir Shadow who was still lying on the floor without moving a muscle before they returned to Victor.“There you are. I’ve been looking all over for you.” Victor commented before he started walking over to me.My first reaction was to walk backwards to protect myself but if I walk away then Barlion will be vulnerable. So, I stayed right where I was by the dining table.“What are you doing here, Victor? And what did you do to my guard?”Victor looked at me with confusion, his flushed face wrinkling as he looked over his left shoulder to look at Sir Shadow.“Oh, him?” Victor asked. “I

I glanced at Victor as he called out for the next case. I was shocked and if I didn't have my thick cloth covering half of my face, I'm more than certain that the rest of the people would notice my shock as well.It's been two hours since we got in the court room and Victor has been calling out the cases by their right orders and not once did he draw back a case on purpose to drag in out and make m sweat.When court started, Victor was not here and after a few minutes, Lord Hero was about to step in but Victor showed up. Other than the slight redness to his eyes, one can't be able to tell that he was drunk off his feet just the previous night. He marched in to the court hall, ran up the stairs and bowed his head to apologize for being late. The he asked for his seat next to the throne and Lord Hero gave it up without hesitation. Victor sat at the smaller seat in the court hall and started calling out the cases by their orders. He was not sneaky about it either. The four to five ho

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
