The King's virgin bride 32. My King
"Selene... My Selene""I'm here, Your Majesty," she whispered.Selene placed the letter on the table and approached Frederick, she touched his forehead to measure his temperature, it was still warm, but it no longer seemed to burn as it had before."I'm here, I'm not going anywhere," she promised, taking his hand and squeezing it between her fingers.Frederick moved restlessly, his heart was agitated by memories that placed Selene in grave danger."My Lady, I will not allow anything bad to happen to you," Frederick murmured, furrowing his brow. "No matter if I have to give my life," he added with pain.Selene couldn't help her tears from overflowing down her cheeks as she heard what Frederick was willing to do for her. A heaviness formed in her heart, what had she done for him? Nothing! She had done nothing, she had accused and challenged him. She had done many things she shouldn't have done, but it was too late for regret, all she could do was improve the things she had done wrong in
The King's virgin bride 33. I am at your service.
Henry looked at his mother with some resentment, perhaps because of the slap she had given him, or maybe it was because she hadn't allowed him to have the life he desired and was pushing him to limits he hadn't imagined reaching so soon."You have to be smarter, Henry," Anabel said, composing herself. She had lost her composure, which was not becoming of the mother of the future king of Astor."I should be allowed to do things my way, mother. I remind you that without Frederick, the future king of Astor will be me, not you," he pointed out.Anabel raised an eyebrow as she looked at him. "You're just a fledgling, Henry. Do you think you can handle everything on your own?" she asked, her voice tinged with irony. "Realize what you've just done. You can't even justify the reason for a kidnapping. Selene is not your target; it's Frederick. Without him, everything, absolutely everything, will be yours. Do you understand, dear? Or would you like me to explain it to you in simple terms?" she
The King's virgin bride 34. A Fiery Bath
Selene thanked him and joined Frederick's side, taking the sponge and bowl to moisten the rest of her body."You'll end up soaked," Frederick warned as he saw her lean over her voluminous dress."It's okay, Your Majesty," she said."The last thing we need, my Lady, is for you to fall ill too. Why don't you shed your dress and prevent yourself from getting cold?" Frederick suggested, making Selene blush."Your Majesty!" she exclaimed."I promise not to look more than necessary," he said, letting out a small laugh that caused a twinge in his side.Selene swallowed, looked at her dress, and realized that the hem was already soaked with water that had carelessly fallen on the floor, which could make her task more difficult. Nevertheless, it seemed improper to undress in front of the king just like that."Don't feel pressured. It was my mistake to make such a proposal," he spoke hastily upon seeing Selene's expression.She nodded and didn't say another word. She took the bowl with some wat
The King's virgin bride 35. Are they going to send us to the gallows?
"My Lady, come to my side," the king requested as she finished helping him lie on the bed. He had already summoned the physician, so all that was left was to wait for the guard who had gone to fetch him."Your Majesty, I'll take the chair and wait," Selene replied, and Frederick frowned."I want you by my side, my Lady," he insisted, internally rejoicing as he saw his betrothed's cheeks blush. "I don't want to have to order it," he warned with a mischievous smile that left Selene speechless."The doctor will arrive any moment, Your Majesty," she whispered; however, she was already sitting right beside him, much to the king's satisfaction.Frederick placed a kiss on Selene's shoulder, then rested his head on it and closed his eyes.Selene didn't move; she was afraid that doing so might hurt him."Does it hurt?" Selene asked."Mmmm," Frederick purred, inhaling Selene's scent."That's not an answer, Your Majesty," Selene refuted, turning slightly, causing the monarch's head to slide, and
The King's virgin bride 36. Fearing Death
Henry didn't stay to check what happened to the bandits; he had previously surveyed the fall, and in his opinion, the drop was sufficient for none of them to survive. If he was lucky, the bodies would be lost at sea. With a swift leap, he mounted his horse and abandoned the two horses pulling the carriage. At some point, someone would come to that area, and he didn't want to be anywhere nearby. Besides, he needed to return to the castle, alongside his aunt, and act as if nothing strange had occurred.To his advantage, the road must already be open, as the peasant had told him earlier, and in three days, half the path would be accessible. With that in mind, he would reach the castle much faster. He spurred his horse and fled at full speed.Henry felt satisfied with what he had done—the death of the bandits meant that no one could accuse him of attempting to kidnap Selene or murder Frederick. Now, he needed to behave like a true king, even if he wasn't officially titled as such. He had
The King's virgin bride 37. Alone Again
Frederick was much better, but for no reason had he allowed Selene to leave his side, so he had complained of a fake pain and discomfort in his wound.The king never imagined enjoying the company and care of his fiancée so much, lasting whole minutes detailing the features of the young woman while she slept on the other side of the bed."Your Majesty, have you been awake for long?" Selene asked upon seeing him sitting and propped up against the bed's headboard."Not long, my Lady, but I was wondering about your absence," he whispered, patting the bed.Selene blushed, unable to help it. Having Frederick close to her always posed a great temptation she hadn't wanted to succumb to, not because she didn't desire it, but because Frederick needed to recover to return to the Castle of Astor."I went for some water, Your Majesty. Would you like some?" she asked with a trembling voice.Frederick nodded slightly as Selene made a slight head bow and turned to pour some water.Frederick observed
The King's virgin bride 38. Are you sure?
Selene experienced a new shiver but tried to calm herself. They were outdoors, what could happen? Memories of that time by the stream came flooding back to her mind, and the blush was inevitable. It seemed like it would be her perpetual state from now on."Alone again," he whispered, smiling.Selene settled into the chair, perusing various interesting titles among the books in the basket."Is there anything specific you'd like to read, Your Majesty?" she asked, selecting three books that seemed perfect to her."What book would you like to read?" he responded."It's not about me, Your Majesty, but about you," she replied modestly.Frederick placed his hand over Selene's fingers, which were holding onto one of the books she was taking from the basket, letting him choose."Are you sure you want to read it, Your Majesty?" she asked with a slight smile."No."Selene's expression changed immediately, and she was about to put the book back."I want you to read it to me. Do you think you can?
The King's virgin bride 39. It's my pleasure
Samantha of Astor defied her mother's orders, and against all good conduct, she approached Henry, letting his tragic story find a place in her heart."I wish these fleeting minutes could become eternal, Your Highness," Henry murmured, looking towards the window but not really seeing it."Your Highness...""I know it's not possible," Henry interrupted her, "I've been so alone, but I have to accept my fate. I don't want you to have problems with the Queen Mother, much less with His Majesty. I'll return to my chamber, and forgive the time I've stolen from you," he said in such a poignant tone that Samantha had no doubt about his sadness and pain."Wait for me here every day, Your Highness. I'll keep you company, even if they're just fleeting moments," she offered, unable to stop her words.Henry nodded in acceptance."I'll live for those moments, Your Highness," Henry assured her.Samantha gave him a short but sincere smile before turning around and leaving the safety of the column, appe

The desire was latent in them and none of them could deny it. It was so much, that they were looking forward to being able to sneak away from people to be alone for a moment, but it wasn't until too late that they were able to do so.Marcus looked at his wife, she was without a doubt one of the most beautiful women he had ever had the joy of knowing, he was happy to share his life and his future with Samantha."Why do you look at me that way?"

The King's virgin bride 78. The Heir Is Coming!
The months following the coronation were full of emotions, Selene and Frederick eagerly awaited the moment of meeting their first child, Eleanor was sure it was a boy because of the shape of the Queen's belly, Samantha opted for the idea of having a little niece running around the gardens, while the parents only prayed to God that their baby would be born healthy and strong.It was that morning, near sunset, while Samantha and Selene were taking a walk in the garden that it all began and the entire castle was turned upside down."Oh, for God's sake! Selene shouted as she felt a strong tug on her lower belly, her hands were placed under the lump, as if she wanted to hold it, but nothing appeased that first burst of pain."Selene! Samantha screamed as she watched her bend over in pain and grit her teeth."I think it's the boy, Sam!" My baby is coming!

The King's virgin bride 77. The Queen Consort
Over the next few days, Frederick took great pains to keep Selene's mind occupied, sometimes unable to do so. I saw her looking at the garden, distracted, I couldn't blame her, I couldn't expect her to forget what happened overnight, like everything, this too would have a process and he would be there to accompany her."You should be getting ready, what are you doing here, love?" Frederick asked, catching Selene's waist as she looked out into the garden."I'm nervous," she muttered.Selene felt an emptiness in the pit of her stomach, that night she would be crowned as the Queen Consort, she would occupy the place that the Queen Mother had held during her years at her husband's side. It was a great challenge for Selene, but she was confident in herself and considered herself very capable of playing a good role for the kingdom and the people."I understand you must be, today is not only about your coronation as my Queen, but it's also the day we can make public the arrival of our firstb
The King's virgin bride 76. It was you, wasn't it?
It didn't take long for the Queen to rush to the newlyweds' bedroom, as did Samantha. It was impossible for anyone in the castle not to have heard the screams and blows of the guards, in addition to Selene's screams, of which he had not been aware."What happened?!" The queen shouted as she saw Henry on the ground, in a pool of blood and a chilling expression in his eyes."Oh, for God's sake! Samantha exclaimed terrified by the scene and her stomach churned, so she turned her body to run out of the bedroom, but arms caught her before her escape.For a moment Marcus thought that Samantha had been affected by Henry's death, an emptiness formed in his stomach, but it was short-lived, when the young princess noticed that he was in her arms and clung to his waist with a tight embrace."He came in to hurt them..." Hurt us," she sobbed softly and cradled her head on Marcus' chest."He won't hurt them again," she whispered against Sam's crown.It was a moment for both of us, even if they were
The King's virgin bride 75. I'll End Your Happiness
"The woman looks like she was swallowed by the earth," one of the royal guards said in frustration."Damn it! His companion shouted in frustration and slammed the old table that still stood in Anabel's battered house. Going back to the old house didn't help them at all. There was no sign of Anabel."By this time the King must be married, and because of that damned woman we couldn't make it," growled the other man, sitting down on the filthy floor. Everything was just as they had left it the last time they were there, indicating that Anabel did not return."The King has entrusted us with this mission because he trusts us, do not lament and get up. "We must keep looking," the senior guard ordered.The search continued and was fruitless, so they had no choice but to move away from those lands abandoned by man, a dry place that could hardly give life.Meanwhile, Anabel entered the castle, taking advantage of the distraction of the party, the woman clenched her fists tightly and cursed the
The King's virgin bride 74. Wedding Night
Marcus took a deep breath and walked over to his fiancée's face, her eyes shining like stars guiding him along the way. Her lips slammed into Sam's cheek, very close to the corner of his mouth. Marcus placed a tender kiss, which drew a sigh from the princess.He was quite a gentleman, that was the greatest audacity he could do, no matter how much he wanted more; However, Samantha had a different idea and before Marcus could get away from her she grabbed him by the shirt and carefully pulled him towards her, joining their lips in a delicate kiss, although this was short-lived, as the desire was overwhelming and the kiss intense."I love you so much," Frederick whispered in his wife's ear, sending a stream of excitement through her body."Let's get out of here," Selene replied quietly. The king smiled and quickly sat up to continue the celebration privately.Frederick and Selene bade farewell to their guests; However, none of them left, as the party continued without the bride and groom
The King's virgin bride 73. The Great Royal Wedding
"You look beautiful," said the Queen Mother, and approached Selene. He caressed her cheek gently. You look like an angel.Selene wasn't able to answer, her eyes filled with tears that she forced herself to hold back, because she didn't want to ruin her makeup, but hearing those words comforted her soul, while breaking it into pieces. Those were the words she should have heard from her mother, but now it was the Queen who protected and cared for her like a daughter."I've brought this," the queen announced, and put a silver brooch with small blue flowers in Selene's hair."Thank you," whispered Selene, who was overly excited."Good luck for all the success of your marriage and reign," the Queen snapped. The bride couldn't take it anymore and threw herself into Leonor's arms, she received her calmly and with all the affection of which she was capable."Are you ready yet?" Sam asked, entering Selene's bedroom. As soon as she saw her friend and sister-in-law in her mother's arms, she stop
The King's virgin bride 72. Topic Closed
Norwood gritted his teeth as he realized that the King's men were coming, he looked at Regina with seriousness and determination. I had been thinking and analyzing what was the best way to save her from prison, but there wasn't much choice."What's the matter, who's coming?" Regina asked, getting out of bed."The King's guard," he said morosely."Are they coming for me?" He asked in a trembling voice.The Count did not know the answer, so he looked at Regina, took her by the arms, and spoke:"It's likely—""Don't let them take me, I don't want to go to prison," she cried, clinging to her father's hands."I'll do everything in my power, Regina, but you have to do things as I tell you, otherwise there won't be anything I can do for you. He could never face the king and be victorious."What do I have to do?" She asked sorrowfully. I'll do whatever you tell me, but I don't want to go to jail," she sobbed.The Count nodded, he had only a short time before he was called by the men to the vi
The King's virgin bride 71. We Caught Henry
Frederick made sure to guard the carriage in which Henry was transported back to the castle, where he would be taken to the dungeons. He didn't want to risk an accomplice trying to do anything to free him."Edward! He called to him, and the guard rode up quickly."Tell me, your majesty."What happened to Henry's mother?" He asked, fearing that the woman would try to do something to complete the plans she had with her son."A group of guards must be seizing her right now, Your Majesty," he informed him, and Frederick nodded. He didn't want to rejoice until he was sure that everything was going well, but it was hard not to feel that everything was finally taking the right turn.Anabel heard the hooves of the horses approaching along the road of stones and dirt, her heart stirred, especially because she had not heard from her son for several days and the last thing she heard in a bar near her old house was that he was being sought dead or alive. Something inside her told her that she was
