The King's faceless wife. chapter 27
Frost Sorrow...Clenching my hands together to stop them from shaking, I followed after to the rest of the women miner's.Once the men and women were split in to two groups, two guards took the lead.One guard took the men to the left side of the mines and the other guard took the women to the right side.I looked over my shoulder, hoping to catch sight of Prince Barlion at least once before I entered the mines.A tall figure caught my eyes and the miner was looking past his shoulder as well. It was easy to spot Prince Barlion amongst the many men miners as his tall and broad figure can easily stand out.On the other hand, I don't think he can spot me. Covered from heat to toe by the white miners clothes is not the biggest reason why he can't see me. I'm shorter than most of the women around me, causing the to swallow me from outside view.Turning my eyes to the guard in front on the women, I followed through, trying to calm myself as the darkness started to swallow

Lifting up a cloth Arementa had given me, I wiped some of the blood off of Prince Barlion's skin.I didn't dare touch his wound again after I had pressed his top to stop the blood.The Prince had groaned in pain, glaring at me for not warning him before I touched his cut.Arementa had stepped in, taking over the wound.She took one look at the wound and her face wrinkled as if she too could feel his pain.Arementa cleaned his wound and brought out a needle to close the cut. She had mentioned that it would have been better to have a fresh wound.Because when a healing wound is torn with force, it would be ten times worse and painful to close back.Prince Barlion had closed his eyes, clenching his jaw and hands as hard as he could while Arementa closed his cut.Unlike me, Arementa looked like she knew what she was doing. Every close she made was delicate and she sew his skin perfectly.Whenever Prince Barlion would let out a groan, Arementa wasn't fazed, but I was close to passing out.

Barlion Great...Looking at the first Inn owners Frost and I visited, I couldn't stop my anger from rising."What do you mean you've sent in false reports?" I yelled at the man and woman owners of the Inn, unable to contain my anger from rising."We-we had to. We had no other choice..." The man tried to argue but I wasn't hearing any of it."No choice for what?" I yelled out, not worried that my voice would escape through the closed door of the small office."My Lord." Frost's soft voice came from behind me.She pressed her small hand flat against my back, as if to say calm down, before she walked past me and sat down across from the man and woman who own this Inn.While he sudden touch did great to calm me, I was still wildly upset.I had walked into this Inn with a wound that made me want to retreat to the comforts of the main castle in hopes of finding out about these night travelers. I had hopped that I would have enough information to make a valid report after we retur

"Why did you do it, Barlion?"Letting out a sigh, I turned my eyes over to the setting sun."I did it to drive you away." I answered, not seeing the reasons to lie to her about it."Drive me away?""Yes. You see, I had made a deal with my father. He told me all I had to do to get to the crown was marry the woman of his choice. Of course, he went back on his word after our wedding ceremony."Letting out a sigh, I looked at her and realized that he eyes were now on me."I never wanted to take a wife, not for a long time. You had been the only thing standing in the way of the crown so I married you. But I didn't need a wife and I needed a way to make her leave on her own."Frost looked hurt by my words as she turned her eyes back to the sun set."You could have just said you don't want a true wife. You didn't have to go and hurt me like you did."Her comment made me want to kick myself. Her soft voice was filled with so much emption that it made me want to pull her in to my arms amd apol

"You spent the entire day out and yet, you brought no reports? You expect me to believe that?" Father asked as he stared me down."It is what I have returned with. It's your choice to believe me or not." I shot back with out looking back at him.Father slammed his hand on the table, causing Cassian to flinch.My eyes never left Cassian after he walked in to the council chambers. He was a bit more collected that he was earlier l. But once in a while, he would glance at Uncle Jeremy and I, wondering if we would out him any second."Do you think this is a joke?" Father roared out in the most tempered voice I have ever heard from him."What do you expect me to do?" I finally turned my head over to my father and saw how much he was fuming. "You wanted me to investigate travelers who walked through the night yet you insisted of sending me when the sun was up. I looked around the locals and the Inns but nothing is out of the norm."Father clenched his jaw as hard as he could, if no one was h

Frost Sorrow...After I left Prince Barlion in the garden, I went to my temporary chambers.Mirra was there, waiting for me so anxiously. As soon as she saw me, she rushed up to me and pulled me in to a hug."Do you even have any idea how much you worry me?" She'd asked as she pulled away and examined me.There were a few drops of blood on my sleeve and the white Miner's clothes made them easier to find.When Mirra had saw that, she was about to hammer me with question so I quickly explained to her that the Prince was in a little accident and I got his blood on me while I was helping him clean up. Mirra had went on a hissy fit, throwing out a tantrum about how she had thought it was a bad idea for me to join the Prince.The first thing she did after her tantrum was to quickly draw.me a warm bath. I usually assist myself while I take a bath if I'm healthy enough, but at this day, Mirra insisted that she would help me bath.She said she will help me clean the filth of the

"My Lady... Wake up!"Mirra shook my left shoulder in hopes that I would get up."Leave me alone, Mirra." I let out a groan as I rolled on my other side to give her my back.I heard Mirra sigh before I felt the covers getting snatched off of my body."Mirra!" I warned but she wouldn't even let me speak as she grabbed both of my hands and pulled me up in a sitting position."It is a very important day for you, My Lady. You need to get up.""What important day?"Mirra lifted her left eyebrow at me."The younger royals want to spend the day with you, My Lady. I had already told you that the night before. Don't you remember?"I reached out to pinch the bridge of my nose with a sigh.I don't remember having a conversation with Mirra at all. I was so upset and angry at Prince Barlion that I had a massive headache, one big enough to force me in to bed as soon as I returned to my chambers."I don't remember." I admitted before dropping my hand on my lap."Why do they want to spend the day wit

"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,

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
