Chapter 34 - Thirty-six stratagems...“ You didn't eat dinner with me” I pouted sadly as he entered the chamber with a scowl on his face. He always wore the same expression after every court meeting. His ministers always disagreed with him and he always had to refrain from forcing them with threats. They knew what he was capable of doing yet they kept on testing his nerves. He was obviously in a bad mood and I stood up holding my long white nightgown so I wouldn't trip, that was when I saw a black mass of insects following him. I screamed out and he had to gather me in his arms and cover my mouth with his large hands.“ Calm down Lyn. They are my Hornets” He said calmly and my panic increased tenfold. Hornets? Annoying creatures that sting people badly? He noticed the panic in my eyes and used his strength to prevent me from running away.“ They won't hurt you, Lyn. Be calm”“ Okay I'm calm” I tried to say but his insane large hand was muffling my words. “ I will remove my hand now, p
Chapter 35 Move aside.The next morning started with a forehead kiss from Treven, then I had a cup of my calming tea before the maids helped me to get dressed. I was dressed in a beige corset gown with elbow sleeves and a wide skirt. My hair was divided into six sections and braided individually with some golden threads by Annalise. I missed Eria a lot, her tender hands were magic to my hair even though Annalise was equally creative, she couldn't match Eria's expertise.After a proper breakfast with Treven, one that doesn't end with us pushing the plates away and fucking on the dining table after a few bites. He left for the morning assembly after kissing me. I felt a little bit nauseous but drank more water to continue eating my food.“ Amaranth?”“ Yes, Your Majesty” The young maid came to the table and poured another cup of my tea. After drinking it, my nausea went down totally. The door opened and Annalise stepped in with Erxi, who was dressed in her all white priestess gown. Her
Chapter 36 Little stars.“ Move aside!” He pushed me roughly even after seeing my face. Who is this disrespectful individual who doesn't know who the queen is?“Hey, who do you think you are? And how dare you touch me with your filthy hands?” I yelled at him wrapping my cloak tighter. He stared in his tracks and turned around. He walked toward me with a bored expression on his face. He looked so familiar. He was dressed in a dark blue attire and his Long hair was tied with a white silk now to the back of his head. He looked like a noble, a foolish one. It's only a foolish nobleman that will dare mess with the Queen.“ Great! Another powdered-up doll of a noble family trying to get my attention? How did the likes of you always know when I'm back in town?” He said staring at me like I'm some flower girl looking for his attention.“ Who do you think you are?” I exclaimed frustrated at his audacious attitude.“ If you don't know who I am, you won't be looking for my attention,” He said a
Chapter 37 His fear.Meisi hummed a folk countryside song as she worked on her embroidery piece. Aside from being a delusional wannabe Queen, she was a talented embroiderer. Her pieces were always beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. She was dressed in a sky blue blue sleeveless blouse and a matching skirt. One of her embroidery patterns stood elegantly on the band of her skirt.She often embroiders the king's pillow case as his handkerchiefs, but ever since he found the Queen, He stopped caring about the little things she does for him. He eats Linda's dishes as usual, he still has Konan's paintings in his room but stops asking her for her handkerchiefs. She believed he was still punishing her for that incident with his child. And when he finally got tired of the Queen, he would come back to her again.“ Your worship!” One of her maids screamed as she entered Meisi's chamber. The Young maid held her breath as Meisi fixed the slave a piercing glare.“ The Queen..” The gir
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
