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

The rest of the day wouldn't go as fast as I wanted it to go. I had wanted to go to Barlion as soon as I heard Victor talking to one of the council men but I couldn't go and interrupt his lunch with his family. And right after lunch, he went in to court, accepting more complaints and cases of his people.So I had to settle to waiting for him until I get him at night.I was sitting in his study in our chamber, right across from his seat behind the large table.My eyes traced the papers, letters and books pilled on the desk, all waiting for Barlion to bend his back over them.I bit my right thumb nail, tapping my feet when the nerves started to build up in my stomach. My knees uncontrollably bounced as I waited for him.After what felt like years, Barlion finally showed up. He walked in to the study and as soon as he saw me, his eyes lightened up, slightly distracting me from what I wanted to tell him."Now this is a pleasant room." Barlion commented as he walked over to me. "All becaus

I looked down at my dress, the golden fabric falling down to the floor. i traced my hands down the front of the dress and felt the designs of the dres tickle the inside of my palm.looking back up at the full length mirror, I turned side to side. The dress Barlion had requested for me to be made was full golden, a soft gold with a few white laces and white gems decorating it here and there. The sleeve of the dress is wide from the shoulders straight down to the wrist, falling wider as it goes down.The weapon bracelet my husband gifted me was well secured on my left forearm, hidden under the wide sleeves.The fabric on the shoulders are well decorated with precious stone and the crown on top of my head made them stand out even more."you look beautiful, My Queen." Mirra commented with a big smile on her face.I looked at her through the mirror and watched as she covered the inside of my thick cloth with white flower powder."Thank you." I replied before turning around to get my shoes
