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

I placed the papers Lord Jeremy had given me for Barlion to sigh at the very center of the large council chamber and watched as each council men picked a paper.There were a total of nine signed papers, one for each the council member and the king to keep and one more for the books.They each traced their eyes over Barlion's signature and I could see them glancing at the other papers to make sure that it was the same.Losing sleep was the best back hand to learning Barlion signature."Very well then. Have you brought back a reply for yesterday's given matters?" Lord Jeremy asked, still looking down at the signature with a frown on his face.I saw Sir Hunder glance at me frim the corner of my eyes and I knew he was worried.We had forgotten about that, was what he was trying to tell me with his eyes. But how could I.While I was copying Barlion's signatures on to endless papers, my mind was still working.I might not be a king or might not have received any law training like these men

The last place I wanted to be before court was the tea gallery.I had wanted to spend the next hour going through the cases that will be presented before the court, but while I'm secretly playing the role of a King, I couldn't stop being the Queen either.So, it meant that I needed to be present at the weekly gathering I had with the women royals of the main castle.I looked down at the basket filled with Jewelries, and to some of the women's dislike, all entirely black.As soon as the older royals, except for Merry saw the colors, their faces wrinkled. But the younger royals looked excited for the change, especially Layla.She had dug in as soon as she sat down near me.Princess Victoria once again sat next to me and Cilvia and Layla followed. Lady Sity. and sister Emilia, Lady Cassandra and her daughter Julia sat further away from me, but I didn't mind. I was actually a bit surprised to see Lady Sity.The former Queen has not been seen since the day of the King's Visit. She never

I stood outside of court, the doors standing tall infront of me.I pressed my right hand flat against my stomach, feeling a little sick as I looked at the entrance of the court halls.The small crown on top of my head felt heavy, heavier than it has ever been and I wondered of Barlion ever felt this way each time he goes to court.I let out a heavy sigh, blowing the thick cloth covering my nose and lips along the way.After a few more minutes, I mustered up the courage to push the doors open and step in to the court halls.The hall was nearly empty and I wondered if I had come too early.With a frown on my face, I walked further in to the court, my eyes jumping from one corner to the next.I have only been in this court twice since I came to the main castle. The first time was on my wedding day and the second was on the day Viper had the bells rung.In those days I had thought the hall was small, though it could fill a thousand people at a time, with the amount of body's standing aro
