The King's faceless wife. chapter 79
I stood in front of the court hall doors, ready to enter.My mind briefly took me back to the council meeting I just had. Grumpy, might be the council members but none asked about Barlion. I had waited anxiously for one of them to bring up Lord Jeremy's finding but it seems, My husband's uncle kept his secret to himself.His absence at the council meeting did worry me because he didn't look like a man who took his responsibilities so easily.Sir Hunder had been my other worry. The head of knights barely spoke during the meeting, only voicing his concern as a council member when he had to.When the meeting came to an end and the council members started leaving, I had asked Sir Hunder of his finding but he only shook his head, telling me that it should wait until after court.Taking a deep breath, I pulled myself out of the memory and pushed to door open. When the doors led way in the the court hall, I almost took a step back at how overwhelming the hall looked.It was packed.The peo

A knock on the door woke me up. Holding on to the back of my neck, I stifled a groan as I lifted my head up from my forearm.I hadn't realized that I'd fallen asleep at some time during the night.I looked over to the window and saw that the sun was about to come out.I took a few seconds to admire the colorful rays the sun was painting on the sky, making it look like the clouds are being set to flames.I let out a sigh before I pushed myself to my feet and stretched my arms above my head.My eyes turned to Barlion and a weak sigh escaped my lips. When another knock came from the other side of the door, I let out another sigh before I walked over to it."Who is it?" I asked as soon as I got to the door."It is I, your grace." Sir Hunder's voice came from the other side. Unbarring the door, I pulled it open and let the head of the knights in.He looked at my dress, the same one I wore the previous day and then he turned his eyes to the pile of papers on the dining table.I cleared my

"The main castle has been receiving more and more applications for the training. I have already accepted fifty boys for the training and there are more coming." Sir Hunder reported as he pushed a pile of paper towards me, showing me the accepted boys' letters.I gave Sir Hunder a small smile and even if he couldn't see it, he knew I was grateful that he made it work.Nodding my head I glanced at Lord Jeremy's seat but once again, it was empty."Where is Lord Jeremy?" I asked."He's off at our trade ports. He might come back the next day or perhaps the day after that." Lord Hero answered before he continued on with his reports.The people of our kingdom were slowly coming out of their homes. Their locked doors were once again open and the work places are filling out.There is still one problem though. The number of travelers and visitors from other kingdoms have greatly decreased. The attack during the King's visit has left a greater scar on our kingdom, messing with our finances."If

"Here you go, My Queen." Mirra walked in to the chambers with the large book in her hands. "It took me a minute but I managed to get all the dust out. Misha showed me an excellent way to rid the dust from the book. All I needed was two willing friends to hold the cover of the book at either side and let the pages hang upside down. Many delicate swatting later, the book is as clean as it can be."I watched as Mirra walked over to the dining table and placed the large book in front of me."Thank you, Mirra." I smiled at her, earning myself a small bow from her head."It's quite a large book. How are you going to read all of it along side the council papers and the cases for court?" Mirra asked as she took the seat from across me.My eyes dropped to the book and I wondered the same thing. I was in the middle of going through the law book for the cases for tomorrow."I don't know." I replied honestly."What exactly is it that you want to learn from this book?" Mirra asked as she nodded do

"We've got a letter." Sir Hunder's voice boomed in the chamber like a thunder, casing Mirra and I to flinch."What letter?" I asked, wondering if my father had sent another letter.Sir Hunder walked over to Mirra and I at the dining table and placed a blue envelop in front of me.I flipped the letter over and my eyes almost bulged out of my head when I realized that it was scent from the King of water Kingdom himself.I let out a loud gasp and looked up at Sir Hunder to see a large grin on his face.Dropping my eyes down at the envelop, I can see that it was scent for Barlion, hence, sent for me.Grabbing the letter with shaky hands, I carefully broke the wax and opened the envelope."To His Grace Barlion..."I have received your letter and it is a great honor to have a royal invitation. As I have certain duties I need to uphold at the moment, I won't be able to attend. But in my stead, I will send my son, Prince Edon and a few of my family members. Do accept my apologies for my abse

The next few days went by without a hitch. I went to the council meetings and court like usual.There hadn't been much change other than the fact that Victor starting his training.After he had announced that he wanted his rightful seat on the council, he refused to back down. I had asked the council to wait until Barlion returns to the chambers but half of them, including Victor, refused. He had insisted for the approval and if Barlion refused, Victor, Lord Dom, Lord Dorian Lord Cassian threatened that they will pay the king a visit themselves.I was forced to once again fake Barlion's signature to approve Victor's request.That was the start of the suspicion. As soon as I placed the sighed approval letter on the council table, some of then had tilted their heads, their faces morphing in to confusion.'Weird. Brother never gives in this easily when he has a stand on something.' Victor had commented and looks were shared amongst the few I consider a threat to Barlion and his throne.A

I stood up as soon as I realized that it was Lord Jeremy.The other man stared at me for a few minutes with a blank expression before he dropped his eyes to Barlion. Worry flashed through his eyes for a few seconds before he shook it off."Lord Jeremy?" I called out and tried to grab his attention.The man looked at me before he sighed and shook his head. Without saying a single word or explaining why he was here at this hour, he walked around the chambers and started lighting the candles.He lit a few around Barlion and around the dining table."Come." He ordered as a father would call his child and pointed over to one of the seats at the dining table.I glanced at Barlion for a second before I hesitantly walked over to the dining table."Sit." Lord Jeremy once again ordered before he sat down at the opposite side of the chair he pointed at.I slowly lowered myself on the chair and stared at him. For a few minutes it was all but a silent staring contest. Neither Lord Jeremy nor I sai

"That's not fair." I whispered a complaint as Lord Jeremy lectures me about the children born from outside of a marriage. It is never the child's fault and it has not their choices to be born from outside of marriage. But the punishment mostly lies on them.This children get the last of everything and that's if people want them to have anything. They have no right to their parent's wealth or properties. Not even crumbs of their families."It is the way it works. Those born of true blood need to come first. Those born outside of marriage may be bound by these laws but they are also considered to be the most dangerous. If they ever do attack, they don't have anything to lose, only to gain.""It still doesn't sound fair.""Sometimes Frost, What's right is not fair and what's fair is not right. You don't have to question the law or even understand it. All you have to do is execute it."Lord Jeremy glanced at Barlion and I realized he wasn't just talking about anyone. He was talking about

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
