The King's virgin bride 66. I Think It's Poison
Frederick received the chest, while frowning, because he didn't understand anything Selene was informing him."Among Henry's belongings?" He asked, repeating the words that had sounded the loudest to Selene and interrupted her before letting her answer: "What were you doing going through her belongings?" He asked with obvious annoyance."I just wanted to be useful," Selene replied quietly, for she felt that Frederick was misinterpreting her intentions. The grimace on Selene's face made Frederick feel bad about his words. He hadn't said them to make her feel bad, but just thinking about Selene around anything that had to do with Henry only bothered her."Sorry, love... I'm frustrated and worried, I'm sorry I made you feel bad," the king apologized, taking Selene by the shoulders and pulling her closer to his body to hug her. I don't want you anywhere near anything to do with Henry," she confessed, and Selen nodded, her arms gripping Frederick's waist tightly."I had a feeling I was goi
The King's virgin bride 67. We're Not Going to Give You the Power
Frederick walked hurriedly down the corridor of the castle, until he reached the front door, at the same time that Edward and the guards who accompanied him stopped in front of the castle."Your Majesty," Edward greeted and walked toward the king."Tell me you have good news," Frederick said, but the guard refused."We didn't find him, it's like he's disappeared from Astor," she said, and Frederick cursed inwardly, his hands clenching into two strong fists."Did you manage to find out anything else?" The king asked with obvious frustration."That's right, Your Majesty. You were right, but I found more," Edward muttered, so that the servants nearby would not hear."Come, let's go inside," Frederick said, and turned quickly, followed by the guard.On their way to the king's office, they came face to face with Selene, who was coming down the stairs to go to lunch; However, when he saw the faces of the two men, the hunger vanished."They didn't find it, did they?" The young woman asked, a
The King's virgin bride 68. Do You Know?
Before leaving the office, the Queen went to the mirror that rested in the corner of the room. It was a full-length mirror, with a frame carved in wood and inlaid with gold, which King Oliver had specially ordered her to make, but which she did not want to have in her bedroom after she was widowed. Leonor finished wiping her face, arranged her hair, and made sure it wasn't obvious that she had been crying... And he sighed."I'll go and see how Selene is, because she wasn't very well," the queen said and saw in the reflection how her son's eyes opened behind her and walked to where she was."What happened to Selene?" He asked worriedly, and Leonor smiled."Lunch didn't sit well with him," she informed him, and Frederick bit his lip."Do you know?" He asked and swallowed hard."It's not what I expected to happen, but I'm looking forward to it," Eleanor said, and Frederick smiled painfully. It is urgent that they get married, so as not to give way to gossip."I know, mother. I wish it wa
The King's virgin bride 69. A Vile Rat
The Count hurried down the corridor, he hadn't said anything, but in the little space his daughter had left open at the door, he caught sight of something that caught his eye from the side of his daughter's balcony and he feared that something bad was going to happen to her. The poor man did not distrust his daughter, but thought she was in danger. Something inside him told him that Henry might be the one who was hanging around, looking for a place to hide, but his home wouldn't be that place. Her loyalty to the Crown was above all else, and she would never allow her daughter to be touched by Henry, who was nothing more than a vile rat, not unlike her father, who had been able to betray his own family out of ambition.Regina's heart was fluttering and it wasn't because of her recent surrender, it was because of the decision she had seen in her father's eyes, if someone came into her room they were going to discover her and she couldn't allow it."You've got to do something, Regina," H

Frederick was immediately put on alert, the castle guards rushed up to the newcomers and gathered around them.The king soon changed his clothes and left his chamber, coinciding at the same time with a bewildered Selene, who as soon as she saw him ran towards him."What's going on?" She asked worriedly, imagining that it might be an attack on the castle or perhaps, Henry had returned."I don't know, love. Go back to your room," Frederick said. Deep down, she feared that Henry would come after Selene and not be able to protect her."Be careful," Selene pleaded quietly, as Samantha and the Queen Mother appeared in the hallway."Son?""Go back," Frederick said sharply. Just imagining something happening to them made their blood run cold."Come with me," the queen suggested, Samantha had already arrived at her side and grabbed her mother's hand. Selene—" he called to her. Selene looked at Frederick and he nodded, so the young woman walked to Leonor's bedroom."Mother, take care of them,"
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

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

"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 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!

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

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
