Chapter 38. Cries, smiles and surprises.“ Out!” The king commanded as he entered the large room in the infirmary. The smell of herbs was everywhere, Marilyn lay on the large soft bed still unconscious. She looked a little bit paler than he left her in the morning. His heart broke at the sight as his mind wondered what could have been wrong with her.“ But your majesty... ” The old woman in a physician uniform said with a frown. She had just read the Queen's pulse but the King didn't want to listen to a word from her. He silenced her with a glance, one of the most vulnerable ones he ever showed anyone. The old lady swallowed her words, bowed, and left the room. It was strange, the hornets could have reported the situation to him instead of the maid but he hadn't seen any one of them. Even the ones that normally follow her were out of sight.“ Marilyn... I ... Please wake up” He swallowed hard as he sat beside her bed, he held her pale slender fingers in his large ones. Her breathing
Chapter 39 Bright and colourful.The next day...Western Nayak-Cave of wondersCandlelight illuminated the dark cave as masked men dressed in black assembled in front of a woman dressed in all-black Nayaki clothing. She wore a veil connected to the large cape draped over her body. Her hair was rolled into a high bun with a golden hairpin holding the hair tower in place. Only her catlike eyes drowned with eyeliner were visible but the colors were lost to the partial darkness in the room. She was the second in command to the leader of the nameless, a group of rebels working against the throne. They seek to remove the Niamh ancestry from the throne and they have been working on it for the past three years. The identity of the woman is unknown just like the identity of every other member of the group.They all share two things in common, hunger for power and hatred for the blessings of the Niamh ancestry. They want a new family to rule Nayak and maybe they can rid themselves of the prom
Chapter 40 The heat.“ Fuck! This is how I got pregnant in the first place,” She said with a mischievous grin as she pulled the straps gently.“ Such a foul word coming from your sweet little mouth” He mumbled as he placed a dominating kiss on her mouth again. Her soaked core responded to him by getting wetter at his touches. Instead of covering her body with beating scars, he covered them with love bites. He loves seeing the pink little marks littered around her body. He sucked on the latest one as his hands went under her blouse to her breast. He squeezed them softly and she responded with a melodic moan. She arched her back towards him as her pregnancy hormones drove her insane.He pushed the table away from them and undressed her gently, her big breasts had gotten slightly bigger and that turned him on more. And that began another night of symphony under the bright moonlight and by the quiet pond.....Annalise opened the door to her Chambers at the pavilion of women with a frown
Chapter 41 His judgement.“ Lyn?” Treven called but I replied with a lazy grunt as I turned to the other side. I was feeling so tired even though it was morning already and I was yet to leave the bed.“Lyn!” He called again, this time with a strict voice. “ What? Let me sleep” I covered my ears with my hands and I tried to block his voice out. It was partially his fault that I was tired, if he had not ravaged me like that yesterday I would probably have had more energy but not that I was complaining though.“ You need to wake up so you can have your breakfast,” He said with a soft tone but all I did was groan at him. I just wanted to sleep more, what exactly was his problem?“ Give me my calming tea” I mumbled not bothering to turn around and face him even though I was fully awake. I was tired still, I should have my calming tea at least.“ No! You won't be drinking that again” He snapped and my eyes flew open immediately. I sat up and I stared at him in shock, he looked a little bit
Chapter 42 - little Birdy.“ What the hell is he doing here?” I mumbled under my breath loud enough for Treven to hear beside me. My heartbeat increased in pace as Patrick's footsteps became louder and closer to us.“ Do you know him?” Treven asked in a whisper and I almost snapped at him. “That is my ex-husband”“ No! He is now a total stranger to you. From now on, you don't know him” Treven muttered to me in an authoritative tone and I nodded my head in reply but what was up to? And why did Patrick suddenly show up in Nayak? He left a week after my wedding, he only paid a courtesy visit to the king in my absence but why would he show up all of a sudden?“ How may I help you? Lord Patrick?” The king's voice boomed immediately after Patrick's polite bow. He raised his head and glared at me intensely before giving me his wicked smile. Memories of that smile flooded my head and I found myself breathing hard as tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I thought I was over everything but
Chapter 43 - The king's weakness.“ I want snow rolls” I moaned immediately the sun rays reflected on my face. I have not even opened my eyes but my food cravings were high on edge already.“ What?” Treven grunted sleepily beside me and wrapped his arms around my body tighter. My mouth waters at the thought of biting into the chocolate goodness so early in the morning.“ Snow rolls”“ It's too early to eat that. I will have the maids bring you your breakfast” He mumbled but I shook my head trying to get out of his hold. But his grip was too strong on my waist. I opened my eyes to see him hovering over me with a tired smile on his face. His chiseled naked chest was close to my face, my mouth watered, and I forgot my initial chocolate cravings as I stared at the goodies in front of me.“ If you keep looking at me like that, I might be forced to think that you have mistaken my chest for your little snacks” He smiled and I blushed, lifting my body to meet his halfway. He shifted a little
Chapter 44 jealousy.“ Greetings to you, your majesty” Konan and Linda greeted at the same time. They have been waiting for me at the temple. I pitied both of them, if not for Meisi and her cruel plans, they could have been mothers already. Coming from someone who was humiliated for not having a child for years, I know how they feel.Erxi led us to a private room at the temple, The two consorts were nervous but not as much as I was. A small bed was in the room and one of the temple servants helped Linda on it, while Konan knelt in a corner to watch.“ I do not really know how this works, but I pray it works for both of you,” I said stretching my hands to collect the earthenware containing the tears from Erxi. I removed my gloves and the tears instantly responded to my touch. Scooping some of it, I weaved it around my fingers while the two women watched in awe. I placed the tears on Linda's exposed stomach and muttered a small prayer to the goddess. The tears disappeared into her skin
Chapter 45 New wave of trouble: Hwaja.The entire court was full of tension immediately after the king's presence was announced. The Minister's faces held different expressions, Some were wondering why the king summoned them to court so early in the morning while some were just scared of the meeting in general. The expression on the king's face was not helping their nerves either. His face was contorted in fury and he looked like he might breathe out fire anytime soon.The sound of the king's heavy boot echoed in the hall as he strolled to his throne at a quick pace. The ministers all bowed their heads until he sat down. Immediately he sat down, the loud voice of the eunuch at the entrance was heard.“ Your majesty, General Kim has sent a messenger from the borders”“ Let him in,” The king said without a change in his expression, he didn't even look up or acknowledge the presence of his ministers.The messenger was a soldier dressed in the silver uniform of Nayaki's army. He looked l
