Nova’s POVAs the sunlight streamed through the window, I gradually opened my eyes, squinting against the glare. To my surprise, I found myself staring into a pair of piercing blue eyes. A wave of relief washed over me as I realized it was Shayna, her face hovering above mine. “Shayna?” I rasped, my voice thick with sleep. I yawned tiredly, pushing the blanket aside and swung my legs over the side of the bed, my feet hitting the floor with a thud. As my eyes adjusted to the ray of light emerging from the parted curtains, I could see Shayna's face more clearly. She was sitting on a chair beside the bed, her brow furrowed with concern. I could tell she'd been watching me for some time, and I felt a pang of guilt for whatever she was worrying about.“Good morning to you too, my Queen!” Shayna said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She rose from the chair and made her way to the table, picking up a mug and holding it out towards me. Her expression was stern, and I could tell she was not
Nova’s POVMy cheeks grew rosier as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. His Majesty will be at the villa this night, I overheard the guards earlier when I was coming from the arena. So, I decided to dress up nicely to welcome him.It has been days since his Majesty left the villa. During those days, I had been thinking about meeting him when he got back. I would explain myself even if he doesn't want to listen. I will make sure to stand my ground and pour my heart out to him.I refused to keep him in the dark. I refused to let him keep treating me like a plague when we were supposed to be a married couple. Even though I had never acknowledged him as my husband, it was time I used that to my advantage. I would use that to make him listen to me.“Your Highness! Your cheeks, it's getting ruddy!” the maid that was styling my hair gasped. I grinned, looking away from the mirror so she would cease to stare at my face in the mirror.“It’s nothing,” I uttered, my voice came out in a whis
Rezso's POVI arched my back in a vain attempt to stretch out the stiffness that had settled in on my back after hours of sitting and glaring at the piece of paper in my hands while waiting for those who would love to challenge the best warrior to a fight.I never knew it would be this boring, heck, I wouldn't have volunteered to take on this task.“You volunteer because you want to keep a track record of those that are going to fight your favourite warrior, silly!” my subconscious yelled at me, I chuckled slowly, knowing the little being in my head was right.I did want to know the list of people that would be fighting with Dixon the next day, that was the reason why I volunteered to take the task.My eyes darted to the clock, which showed that it was already 8:30 p.m. I had spent the entire day hunched over the darn desk at the guard’s office room, and my body was paying the price. The last thing I wanted to do was spend another minute cooped up in that office. I hastily stood up fr
Nova’s POV“How much longer until we're finished?” I asked, my gaze fixed on my reflection in the mirror. The maid was carefully styling my hair, and I was beginning to feel impatient. “She's almost done,” Shayna mumbled, applying another layer of foundation to my face. I could tell she was tired of me asking the same question over and over again, and I could understand why. Wasn't she eager to watch the duet?“Yes, Your Highness, just a few more minutes and we'll be finished,” the maid assured me with a smile, her nimble fingers carefully weaving beads into my hair. I tried to relax, to let the soothing feeling of her hands in my hair wash over me, but I was still on edge.“Good.” I rolled my eyes, staring at my reflection in the mirror.I didn't like the idea of maids coming over to dress me up, but since I always do the bathing myself, the least they could help with was my hair. And somehow, they tend to take extra time just to fix my hair.It was finally the duet day, where the
Prescott’s POVMy heart ached unbearably as I strolled down the hallway with two men trailing quietly behind me. I couldn't wait for the duet to be over so I could order for Dixon’s audience, and perhaps I would apologize for raising my voice at him the previous day. It wasn't his fault that things had gone wrong. He had done everything he could to help the nation, and I had been ungrateful and impatient.It was undeniable that Dixon was the best warrior in the nation, and had been for a long time. He had become the ‘emperor’ the champion among the warriors, and had defended his title for years. I felt ashamed of myself for the way I had treated Dixon. He had always been loyal and dutiful and had never once failed to complete a task I had set for him. I had expected too much of him this time, and when he hadn't met my unrealistic expectations, I had lashed out in frustration. I knew it wasn't his fault, and I regretted my harsh words which had been haunting me since.My heart was raci
Nova’s POV I took a deep breath, the words I had been trying to hold back finally spilling out with no way to stop it. “I have come to realize that I'm in love with you,” I whispered, my heart racing as I fidgeted with my nails. “I love you so much that it hurts when you're not near.” I held my breath as I watched the colour drain from Prescott's face. His reaction was hard to read, and I felt a sudden rush of panic. Had I said too much? Had I ruined everything?“Y-You love me?!” Prescott sputtered, his voice cracking with disbelief. His face was a mixture of shock and confusion, and I felt my heart sink into my stomach. Had I said too much? Had I ruined everything? I couldn't find the words to respond, and my silence seemed to only add to his confusion. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my stomach twisting in knots as he repeated the question.“My Queen, did you just say you love me?” Prescott questioned me for the second time with his eyes burning into mine.I looked dow
Prescott’s POVMy robe swept the floor as I made my way towards the room I was supposed to be sharing with my wife, Nova, at the King’s hall. I could perceive her flora scent as I walked up to the door.I gripped the doorknob, and gently pushed the door open to reveal Nova, sitting at the edge of the bed with her back to me.I paused, observing her outfit before taking a long stride towards her. Sitting down at the edge of the bed in the open dressed in a red transparent satin night dress, the back bearing was just a hook that kept the dress together.Nova slowly turned to face me, revealing the front of the dress, there was a bow knotted at her breast cupI gulped down nothing, staring at the satin dress that was making my head turn. I couldn't wait to get to her, I needed to take the nightdress off of her as soon as possible. I held tightly onto the wine glass in my hand, I couldn't bring myself to take a sip from the glass since I wasn't thirsty for the wine anymore, but for the yo
Prescott’s POV “Perfect and mine!” I exclaimed, getting off her to get rid of my robe.Nova’s heavy breath sounded like a piece of music to my ear. I smiled, gripping the edge of my robe before pulling it down my body. I did the same to my pants and I watched my massive cock stand hungrily, staring right at me.My eyes darted to the table and I took a glimpse of the wine, sitting quietly on the table. I stretched my hand, grabbing the glass before walking back to the bed with my cock dangling after me.Nova’s eyes widened in shock when she saw me walking up to the bed. Her eyes darted to my bottom half and I watched her gulped down nervously.I got to the bed, crawling up to her with the glass in my hand. I got up to her, trying to grab her thigh but Nova tried to cover her pussy by crossing her thigh over one another.“Spread your legs, my Queen!” I ordered, my voice was thick with want.“Mmm,” Nova moaned, she gently released her leg, parting her legs for me to see her beautiful pu
