The King's faceless wife. Chapter 59
Barlion Great....I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was my wife's face. Curled up against my, Frost had her head rested on my arm and her small hand was pressed against my bare chest.I took a second to listen to her calm breath and look at her fair face, juts drinking in her entire feature. I turned my eyes towards the covered window and saw that a few rays of light were peeking through the large curtains. I knew I should pull away, wake Frost up and start our days as King and Queen. But I also wanted to talk in all the quite and calm before I face a brand new battle.Pressing my lips against her forehead, I pulled her a bit closer. Frost didn't stir for a few minutes but soo enough, she batter her eyelashes and forced her eyes to open."Good morning, My king." She whispered, pulling a smile to my lips."Good morning, My Queen." I replied, earing myself a soft chuckle.Frost tightened her body, preparing it for a full on stretch before she turned over on her stom

I walked in to the council chambers, surprised that I'm the first to show up this morning.I walked further in to the chamber until I was standing next to my father's seat which is now mine.Placing a hand on the head of the chair, I let out a sigh.Long ten years had past since I started fighting for this seat but it was now that I realized that the fight was so worth it."You finally made it."I heard Uncle Jeremy's voice before I see him walk in to the council chambers."We finally did it." I corrected him, knowing that I would have never made it this far if it wasn't for his guidance and protection.Uncle Jeremy chuckled before he walked closer and surprised me with a warm bear hug."I'm proud of you, Barlion. You deserve this and until my time comes to step off of my council seat, I will keep on supporting you."The amount to affection I got from my uncle had always flustered me. He showed me more fatherly love than my actual father ever did."Thank you, Uncle Jeremy." I said as

Frost Sorrow....I looked up at Lady Melody's statue with a frown on my face, The events of the day constantly playing in my head.I couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling in my body, I couldn't understand why my heart lay so heavy in my chest.Maybe it was the way Sity acted this morning, how uncomfortable she made me feel and how much I grew suspicious of her. Or maybe it's the brief greeting I had with Lord Viper Great and how he looked at me long and hard as if he wouldn't see me again.Strong arms snaked around my waist, causing me to gasp in surprise."Found you." Barlion whispered in to my ear and I instantly relaxed in his arms."You didn't show up for Lunch, My Queen. How come?" His question took me by surprise."I hadn't even realized it was Lunch." I answered honestly, readying myself to share all of my worries with him."What's wrong?" He asked as he leaned his chin on my left shoulder, keeping a first grip around my waist.I let out a sigh before placing my ha

I stared at Lord Viper, still confused with the words he said."What... What do you mean you're going to join your wife? My Lord your wife is... You can't mean your going to..."The thoughts running in my head were awful. If he was talking about joining his dead wife, then that would only mean...Lord Viper looked at the horror painted on my face and he chuckled."No, Frost My dear. Don't let your head go there." He commented "I afraid I'm not brave enough to face death."I let out a sigh of relief. "Then, what are you talking about? Where are you going?"Lord Viper looked over my shoulder, not at the large man standing behind me, but at space, as if he was picturing the place he was going to in his head."Tip." He answered. "Do you know were that is?" He asked as he t=returned him eyes, ones who are familiar with my husband's."I don't." I replied with a slight shake to my head."It a small town, the smallest here in our Kingdom. The way leading up to that town is as thin as a sword,

"Barlion?"Lord Viper called out as soon as he saw the horse stop in front of him.Barlion stopped the horse and took a few seconds to look at his father and the small boat behind him. I could feel his shoulders tense at the sight of the small boat, probably wondering why the former King would use such a small boat when he deserved one as large as a house.Barlion tapped at my joined hands as if to tell me to let go then he kicked his right leg over the horse's head and slid down the side. Then he reached up, taking ahold on my waist with both of his hands to help me down. I placed both of my hands on his shoulders and let him support my weight as he gently led me off the horse.Once my feet had touched the uneven ground, he took my right hand in his and walked me over to where his father was standing.Lord Viper looked very flustered, happy, but very flustered."What are you two going here?" Lord Viper asked.Barlion looked over to the boat behind his father before he turned his eyes

Barlion Great...I looked straight ahead, my hands holding the reins as I led the horse to take us back to the main castle.Frost's arms were tightly wrapped around my waist, holding on to me like I'm their life line.I kicked the horse on the side and pulled back to reins at the same time, causing it to jerk forwards a bit.The squeal that came out of Frost's lips made me smile."Stop that, Barlion. The first time, it was funny but not anymore." She said in to my ear, her voice muffled even more because she was pushing her face in to my shoulder.I let out a chuckle."You weren't scared when we were riding fast to the dock." I commented."Yeah, well that was because we were in a rush. I was worried we wouldn't be able to make it there in time."I couldn't help it so I did it again.When the horse jerked for the fourth time, Frost slapped my chest."I'm warning you, Your grace." She scolded, forcing another smile to my lips on such a gloomy day."Alright." I sighed as I ke

Frost Sorrow....Three months has past since Barlion was names King and I was names Queen. Three months has past since Lord Viper left for the little town called the tip and three month has past since I discovered about the old tradition called the King's visit.I had asked Sir Hunder if there was any rule book or something that can help me learn about the past queens of the kingdom so ai could learn a few things. Lady Sity had not been any help after all.Sir Hunder pointed me towards the large library and said "Just ask the old witch living in that library. She knows everything."I could see amusement in his eyes and hear it in his voice as he said it but I took his word and made my way to the large library.Prince Victor was not there, which I was thankful for because things have just been weird since the last time we really talked.The old Lady Waina immediately knew who I was as soon as i waked in. I don't know how she did it when she's blind, but it was like there was an i

The last place I visited before going to the king's quarter was Barlion's garden. After the uneventful and tense hour I spent in the tea gallery, I had went to my space of the main castle where I operate most of my duties to the kingdom.In the last three month, I have taken up the responsibility of hiring new handmaids. There were a lot of girls and women that came to the main castle to work as a handmaid. I was a bit flustered at first but Misha was more than happy to help me.She still wouldn't tell me how she got her job as a handmaid and neither would any of the girls. Any time I would ask about it, they some how find a way to tiptoe around it and make me forget. So I had to refer to the history of the queens book. It had been a great deal of help. I have absolutely no idea how Lady Sity was choosing the handmaids when she was queen but the queens before her started by setting an age limit. The pervious rule is that girls starting form the age of ten can start working as a han

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
