The King's faceless wife. chapter 66
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

The steel on the dagger glinted under the light of the sun as the man raised his hand up in the air, about to strike me with it."In the name of the king." The dangerous man spat at me I let out a gasp, my throat growing too tight to even let me scream for help.The man had a death grip on me, refusing to let me back away from the glare of his approaching dagger.And just as the dagger got closer to my face, I heard a whoosh, followed by the crys of the man.I didn't hear Sir Shadow approach us, but I saw him as soon as the dangerous man's dagger holding hand flew off of his wrist.The man immediately let me go to clench his wounded hand to his chest as he let out a scream.I stumbled back wards, completely shocked at what had just happened.I looked over my shoulder and I could see Arementa amd Lila's mouths opened wide as if they were screaming, but I couldn't hear their voices. It was drawn out by the screams of the dangerous man the the beating of my heart.Sir Shadow walked over

"When will she wake up?" I heard a very distant voice ask."I'm not certain." Another voice answered."Well l, I need her to wake up so I can give her her herbs. Other wise, she won't get any better."It's Mirra's voice.I know it is.Cracking my eyes open, I looked at the blurry ceiling.I heard Mirra gasp before she jumped in to my View."My Queen... Your up? She's up?""Give her space, Lady." I heard Sir Hunder's voice before I saw him looming over me from behind Mirra.I tried to open my eyes further to clear the blurry vision but my lids wouldn't let me.Using my weak arms, I pushed myself up to a sitting position."Stay still, My Queen. I'll go get your herbs.""Barlion." I whispered when the events of the King's visit returned to my mind.We were ambushed and Barlion was stabbed, right in the chest, right in front of me and I wasn't able to help him.I had just watched helplessly as Barlion tried to protect me until he finally fell to the ground. That was all I could remember.

I leaned on the door of our chamber, trying to listen to the conversation going on on the other side.'The King is doing well." I heard Lord Kiza comment. "He's regained conscious while I was stitching his wound so I had to use a few herbs to keep him asleep. I advice that his grace should stay in bed for a while, give his wound time to rest. It was a deep cut so it will take time to heal but over all, he's in a good condition."Lord Kiza lied like he was telling the truth. There wan not a single stutter on hesitation in his speech. The words that fell from his lips were easy to believe, maybe it was because he was delivering the news like a professional, or maybe it was because it was easier to believe that to question if Barlion was really okay."Can we see him?" A small voice asked and I know it to be Cilvia's."Of course, You can My Lady." Lord Kiza answered. "But please, My Lords and Ladies, do not disturb the King. Rest is very pertinent to his recovery."I walked away from the

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

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
