Chapter 48 The Lady in black

.

I was thoroughly angry as I made my way to the ice palace, Annalise, Eria, and other maids hot on my heels. I understand that Meisi missed her child but she was under punishment for her mistake and the ice palace is no place to raise a baby. I wore a fur jacket on my dress because the ice palace is extremely cold as I heard.

The old building lived up to its name, it was really cold indeed and looked unhabitable. Only royal prisoners are kept there without warm clothes and enough meals to keep them alive. It was looking so miserable and lonely and I almost pitied Meisi.

“ My beautiful baby” I heard a soft coo as we neared Meisi's room. Annalise opened the door and I stepped in immediately. Meisi was seated in an old wooden chair dressed in nothing but a cotton plain Nayak dress. The top was armless and the skirt barely reached her knees. I could only imagine how cold she must be. The baby was wrapped in a silk blanket thoroughly though so that gave me a l

His eyes flashed red but went back to normal immediately the Hornet flew in a circle with a loud buzz. They had made a camp at a place very close to the Silk Valley. The sun was setting already and he was getting ready to attack the Aransas fortress at dawn before the hornet flew in.“ She didn't eat the poison?” He asked and the Hornet stayed still for a while before buzzing around again. “ You stung her maid? That was reassuring at least.” He took a deep breath but his mind was already in shambles at the thought of someone attempting to kill his Queen in his absence. He knows the person, it was the same person that tried to poison him at the inn the first time he met his Queen. It was the same person that was giving the Barbarians a failed hope.The Hornet flew around for a while again with a loud buzz and Treven almost broke the table angrily. How dare that lowly piec

Their faces were swollen beyond recognition and part of their body was too.“ We already got rid of her bodyguards and before we knew it, some bug swarms came out of nowhere and attacked us. There were too many, we couldn't enter the chamber. By the time they were gone, the king was gone too” one of the assassins said while wincing in pain. One of them fell dead immediately followed by another until all of them died before her eyes. She couldn't believe the scene in front of her, whatever killed them was waiting for them to deliver the message to her.Her eyes became pitch black as she roared in anger.

He increased the pace and rode away from the whining bodyguard. He doesn't mind the pain anyway, his Queen would heal him with her gentle hands.

    Prologue:“All you do is eat, sleep, and laze around the house. I am tired of that, you barren woman!” My husband, Lord Patrick Gattar, shouted as he forcefully grabbed my hair. Pain shot through every inch of my scalp, and my eyes welled up with tears. He dragged me across the room, pinning me against the wall. I couldn't plead; I tried to speak, but no words emerged. Pleading would only lead to more beatings, worse than before.I could feel my pale skin reddening as he tightened his grip on my hair. Tears streamed down my face, and I bit my lip to stifle my cries of pain. He released me briefly and then—*Smack.*His palm struck my face, and I couldn't hold back the sobs any longer. Servants watched with pity or smirks, and I couldn't blame them. The lady of the proud House of Gattar was being humiliated by her husband in the most degrading way possible. I didn't blame them for their expressions.“Useless wench! Why are you dolled up? Hoping to entice me to waste my seed inside you

Eria's words kept on ringing in my ears as she led the way to my supposed freedom.The familiar surroundings of Ruqgu's central market looked eerily unfamiliar tonight. It was nighttime, and it had been over a month since I left the Gattar Manor. The vibrant colors and the bustling night market contrasted sharply with my somber mood. Nothing amused a woman of twenty-six without a child, nothing fascinated a lady doomed to endure her husband's abuse.I trailed behind Eria as we ventured into a darker, more sinister part of the market, where the night's offerings were far from innocent. I adjusted my hood, ensuring my disguise concealed my identity. The lady of the House of Gattar could not be seen in such a place. I wondered about Eria's intentions and hoped that this secretive meeting would prove worthwhile, despite the risk of sneaking out.My head throbbed, and a chi

    Chapter 47 Missing Princess.“ Valtar” His deep voice resonates as he stares ahead of the plains surrounding Nayak's southern borders. His heavy armor glinted under the bright sunlight clearly inviting the blood of his enemies. He has grown a stubble due to days of riding forward nonstop without the normal palace grooming. Under his heavy armor was a green pendant held by a golden necklace. It represents his Queen's blessings, he misses her a lot but he is on a mission to fulfill Nati's assignment. At the thought of her, his right hand went to the necklace and he clutched the pendant for a while. It responded to him and lightened up, it didn't stir awake like it would have done under her touch but it still responded to him.“ Your majesty, The troops from Minister Li, Lord Ay, Lord Du, and General Koyam never arrived at the Lu fortress. It seems they have deserted us. We are short of close to three thousand men” Valtar reported immediately. He was also clad in heavy armor similar to

The King has almost crossed the Fleur River”. The old man among them said, raising their heads from their bow.“ He is so far away from his Queen” The woman chuckled, adjusting her hood. Her eyes and nose were covered but her mouth was exposed, and her exposed red-painted lips curled up into a smirk.“ We have withdrawn our soldiers so he is short of at least three thousand men. If the Barbarians were as strong as they claimed, they would crush the king with ease” The second minister reported, that he sounded much younger than the first man. The news pleased the lady as she kept on smiling. Her plans were going accordingly.“ But after all this, who are we goin
