The King's virgin bride 47. Discretion
"What is this?" Frederick asked, containing the anger he felt at that moment."Your Majesty, I'm sorry..." the timid man replied, "A man in the Royal Guard uniform, carrying a letter with your seal, went for the bandits who attacked you and your betrothed. Everything seemed to be in order, and my men did not hesitate to follow the written orders. We thought it was you’re doing."The Queen Mother rose as if driven by a greater force."What do you mean you've suffered an attack?" she immediately questioned.Frederick grimaced; he had completely forgotten that his mother hadn't been notified. In fact, no one in the palace knew, except the authorities, Selene, and his men who promised not to say anything about the attack, and, of course, the mastermind behind Selene's abduction. His eyes couldn't help but search for Henry; the Duke of Astor didn't seem so calm, and something inside him screamed that he was responsible. Unfortunately, there was no evidence against him."I'm fine, Mother. W
The King's virgin bride 48. I want everything from you
Selene turned around, startled, feeling her heart as if it was about to burst out of her chest. She had thought of taking a calm stroll alone, but she never imagined that Henry would dare to look for her, especially after she had distanced herself from him."Henry... What are you doing here?" she asked, her eyes glancing behind him, hoping that no one saw them alone and assumed the wrong thing."Selene, what's wrong?" Henry asked with a soft tone. "I missed you."Selene's eyes widened at those words, and her hands started to sweat nervously. The last thing she wanted was to have a misunderstanding with Frederick or, in the worst case, to be seen by the Queen or Samantha.Henry took a step closer to her, trying to approach and see if he could embrace her. But as he advanced, she stepped back and placed her hands between them, avoiding further closeness."What do you think you're doing?" Selene asked with a serious tone. "You know very well you shouldn't be here," she emphasized, and He
The King's virgin bride 49. You don't do it for me
Their bodies fell onto the bed, satisfied and with their hearts racing."You're wonderful," Frederick murmured, kissing Selene's forehead."I love you," she replied with a slight smile, settling into Frederick's arms."I'm looking forward to our wedding; if I could advance it, I would without hesitation," he said.Selene shook her head."You can't do that; Samantha's birthday cannot be canceled," she reminded him."I know, my love," he sighed."Is there something bothering you?" Selene asked, noticing his troubled expression."Mom talked to me about her; she wants me to find a good husband for her, and honestly, I can't think of anyone suitable for Samantha. I wouldn't want to marry her off out of obligation, Selene. I want her to experience love," he said."I'd like to help you; however, I don't know any suitable gentlemen," she said, falling silent.Frederick pondered his options for a moment; he knew many important people in the kingdom, and any of them would be more than happy to
The King's virgin bride 50. You don't understand
Frederick smiled like a fool; his heart beat strongly just imagining Selene as his wife and not having to hide to make her his whenever they desired. He was sure that the passion running through his body was the same Selene felt every time she was with him.The king hadn't felt so happy since he ascended to the throne; his life had become one commitment after another, all for the people of Astor. Selene came into his life when he didn't know he needed her and almost ruined everything at the beginning. Back then, he had no reason to trust her, and he could never have imagined that the girl would become his world and his reason for being. A sigh escaped his lips along with a sob nearby.Frederick thought it was Selene, so he quickened his pace, fearing the worst. However, it wasn't his young and beloved fiancée who was crying, but his mother."Mother," he called.Leonor lifted her tear-streaked face; she bit her lip to keep from screaming with all her might, but seeing Frederick in fron
The King's virgin bride 51. Suspect
Samantha awaited Henry's reaction, but he either stood stupefied or, more accurately, feigned being dumbfounded at her confession. His hand paused in the air, withdrawing it from the young princess's cheek."Aren't you going to say anything?" she asked with a racing heart."Your Highness," he addressed her formally, "there's nothing I can do to prevent an engagement with another man."Samantha took a step back at Henry's response."I thought you cared, that you worried about me," Samantha sobbed."And I do, Your Highness, but... who can oppose the wishes of His Majesty? I am not the brave knight who will rescue you, to my misfortune.""What do you mean, Henry?" she asked, determined to call him by his name, breaking the rules."I can fight for you, Your Highness, but there's no way I can go against the power of the King, especially if he has the approval of the Queen Mother. However, there's something you can do.""What is it, Henry? Tell me, and I'll do whatever it takes to prevent b
The King's virgin bride 52. Unforgivable Mistake
Henry's face tightened at Frederick's words; he looked at him with contained hatred, his fingers clenched into two strong fists until the color of his knuckles changed."Who the hell do you think you are to decide about my life?" he growled with anger, while Frederick looked at him with cold calmness."I am your king.""And to hell with that!" he squawked, standing up violently, so much that the chair fell to the floor. Henry's features were distorted, his teeth clenched so tightly that it seemed he might lose them at any moment."Control your temper and your tongue," advised Frederick, standing up with grace and elegance."You know very well that I am the rightful owner of the throne you occupy," he growled. "Don't you dare try to dictate my life, Frederick."A loud thud was heard; it was the king's fist hitting the hard and fine wood of his desk."You were disinherited and removed from the succession line by our grandfather, Henry, whether you like it or not, I am the King of Astor,
The King's virgin bride 53. How could you accept this?
Selene tried to inquire a bit more, but Samantha remained tight-lipped about it. Eventually, Selene gave in and engaged in conversation with the young princess about the preparations for her upcoming party, just around the corner. The topic of the princess's future suitor was left behind, but Selene couldn't stop pondering. She genuinely hoped that Frederick would find a good man for her sister because, despite being a bit stubborn, she was not a bad woman and deserved a beautiful and pure love like the one Selene was experiencing with her future husband. They spent a few hours together, trying to get to know each other. Samantha set aside her sadness momentarily when she shared some amusing experiences with the animals on her uncle's farm. This surprised Selene, as the princess appeared so delicate. Imagining her playing and working with animals was a contrasting image but seemed very entertaining and interesting to Selene. Selene left Samantha's room, but the idea that the Duke the

"I can swear to you that Frederick has not sighed for you in a long time."Regina didn't want to believe Henry's words, however, Frederick had behaved distant when he greeted her; his eyes no longer sparkled as before. The woman experienced a hollow feeling in the pit of her stomach and had to sit down to avoid falling flat on her face.Henry looked at Regina's pale face and felt pleased."This is your only chance to become a queen one day," he said, testing the ground he was treading on.Regina looked at him without understanding."How can you say such a thing? Married to you, I can only aspire to be the Duke's wife.""I am the legitimate heir, Regina."She looked at him."That doesn't make you a possible heir unless..." Regina opened her eyes, understanding what Henry was referring to."You're with me or against me, you decide, My Lady," he said seriously and with a hint of irony.Regina had no chance of refusing; her father had already reached an agreement with Frederick, and thing

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!

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 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

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
