The love of a King Chapter 16: The Job offer 1
Miss Madeline was knitting a sweater when she heard a knock on her door. She wondered who it could be. She got up and went to open the door. There she saw her long time friend Martha."Martha what a suprise, please come in." She said sweetly. "Thank you Maddie, it's been a while." "Yes it has, have your sit." She went and brought some tea for the both of them. "How are things at the castle. "Terrible. It's even more worse than when the former king died." Martha said softly. "Yes, prince Edwin's death was tragic.""It indeed was, princess Ella didn't take the news well at all. She's actually just started getting over it.""It's not possible to get over it. This war as come with many losses." Said Miss Madeline."Some of the maids have already resigned because of it. They say that they prefer helping their family who really needs them. Most of their people have been displaced without having a place to live." Said Martha. "I understand. How are you coping with it?" "It's difficult.

The next day; Miss Madeline sent a letter to Martha informing her that Aurora and Gwen were interested. She figured that she would get a reply by tomorrow. But she was suprised when she heard a knock on her door and she opened up to see that it was Martha. "Martha, I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow." Miss Madeline said to her friend. "I hope you didn't think I was joking when I said I was extremely short on staff.""No, I'll call them now." She said. She went to the room where she saw the girls. "She's here, she has come to see you two." "Who Is here Miss Madeline?" Gwen asked. "My friend who I said works in the palace." She replied."Really, let's go then." Gwen said quickly and walked out. Aurora slowly trailed behind. For some reason she wasn't feeling as ecstatic as her sister. When Aurora saw the woman named Martha she was suprised. She was the guardian of the girl she helped at the market. "Good morning ma'am." They both greeted. "Good morning. I think I know you." M

It took at least fifteen minutes before they got to the gates of the palace. They rode in and Gwen was left in amazement. She had been here once, during the king's coronation but she didn't have time to marvel. She knew that she was only here as a maid but she was excited for some unknown reason.Meanwhile Aurora kept on fidgeting internally in her seat. For some reason unknown, to her she felt like her being here wouldn't turn out good for her. She thought she was just being paranoid because of everything that had happened. She turned to see her sister who was smiling wholeheartedly as she looked through the carriage's window. It finally stopped and Martha got down. The girls also came down but with their heads bowed. They treaded slowly behind Martha. Aurora stared at the mighty walls of the palace. There were two guards at the front entrance but they didn't go through this part, instead they headed to the back to get in.As they walked through the halls, Aurora saw some maids clean

When Martha told Gwen that she would be working in the kitchen, she thought it wasn't going to be difficult. But she was completely wrong. To her this part of the palace was the most stressful part she could be in. The amount of food she had to cook and the items she had to get ready overwhelmed her. The fact that she didn't know the palace well added to her misery. The head chef was unbearable and so were her co-workers. They didn't bother in guiding her and she didnt bother asking. With her chin held up high, she struggled to finish her tasks. She wondered how her sister was doing. She probably was not suffering as much as she was. She hurried up her steps as she was heading to the kitchen. Dinner would be served soon and she didn't want the head chef to make a fuss.Meanwhile, Aurora was starting to get cramps. She has been standing for two hours now. She only had a twenty minutes break every three hours. It seemed kind of cruel to her but who was she to complain. She's just a mai

The next day;So apparently, being a personal maid for the royal members includes waking up early to get them prepared for the day. Lisa and I got ready and we headed to Queen mother's chambers. Lisa prepared the bath while I was to pick out her clothes. I found myslef at crossroads. I didn't know anything about dressing up. 'How will I choose her clothes now?' I decided to choose a random dress and shoes I thought would fit. It took about an hour to get her ready and I realised she wasn't that picky. I put all of these in mind.When I was done, I went to princess Ella's room. I knocked on her door but she didn't answer. "Princess Ella, it's me." I knocked a few more times until she responded. "Come in.""Good morning princess Ella." I said with a bow.She yawned. "Good morning Aurora." I almost laughed when I saw her. Her hair was a total mess and so was her bed."I'm here to get you ready. Shall I prepare your bath?"She gave a confused look. "Ok, but do you know how to?""I believe

Dinner was ready. Everyone was at the table except for King Alexander. "George, where is Alexander?" Queen mother asked."He is in the courtroom. He will arrive shortly your highness.""Alright." Lady Vivian sat next to princess Ella. "Princess Ella, I'm glad to see you. How are you?""I'm alright lady Vivian." She said simply. Alexander entered the dining room. "Good evening your highness." Lady Vivian greeted"I didn't know you were in Devon." Alexander said."I just arrived, and I couldn't wait to see queen mother. But we're staying here in Devon."That's good, I still don't know why your family decided to move." Said princess Ella."Even I don't know, well, we're back now." Assistant George came to whisper something into king Alexander's ear. "Excuse me, I'll be leaving now.""Did something happen Alex?" Queen mother asked."I just have something to attend to. Keep eating." He said and left. Queen mother and Lady Vivian talked through out dinner while Princess Ella rarely said a w

In the Kingdom of Valeria;A lady barged through the doors of the palace furiously. The guards were quite shocked when she did so. She wore brown leather trousers and a white shirt. She was holding a hat in her hand. She let her brown hair down and there was a frown on her pretty face. She passed by the living room when she heard her name."Isabelle! Wait for me!" Isabelle stopped abruptly when she heard her friend's voice."What are you doing here?""Can't I come see my friend?" The lady asked. "You seem angry?""I am angry. You can't believe the embarrassment I went through today. You know I went out with James right. We went horse riding in the open field. Well it all went horribly.""Alright what happened?""I found out that he has a finance. She was also going riding with her friends. They lashed me with insults. I was completely humiliated.“"What! You're telling me that a pair of lowly females insulted the princess of Valeria, and you're here whining to me? Can't you stand up f

Princess Isabelle was dressed in her best clothes. She had decided to be confident and face whatever was going to happen with her head held high. She wore a pink silk gown. It was a off shoulder one and it flowed freely from her waist down. She put a white fur coat on. She looked beautiful and she smiled at herself proudly."You all can leave now." She ordered. The maids left but she kept inspecting herself. Laura came in."Wow, you went all out princess.""I did. You said i should be confident right?“"I did say that, Are you ready?""Yes, and I love your gown." She said with a smile."Oh I thought you wouldn't compliment me belle? Well I know I look amazing though, we have to leave now.“"Yes, let's go." They got outside where a carriage was waiting for them. They got in and it drove towards the Crenshaw's mansion.It was a long ride. They got there after twenty tiring minutes. They both got out with a smile on their faces.

"Oh princess, this is horrible! I fear this will be the end of us.“ Said Vicky. Isabelle groaned and threw the covers off her body.“Exactly! Grandma and Grandpa are so mad. If they could, they would kick father out of here."“But that's not possible. Another war is upon us.““Vicky! Don't be so pessimistic. We will get out of this situation, even though I don't know how.““You just can't see the seriousness of this matter. The last war between these two sides was horrible. So many casualties occured on both sides. It was a war to be remembered.““I know, my brothers have told me. But I believe that this king Owen won't wage a war against his own daughter. That would be madness!""He is mad. I have people who live there. The kingdom is a hell hole. He rules them with an iron fist. He even cut ties with some kingdoms who helped with some productions. He's suffering the kingdom. But somehow, they've been surviving.“ "He sounds like he's mentally unstable. Maybe Gabriel was right.l, we

Isabelle glanced from her brothers to her father. He had an unreadable expression. Lauren hadn't said a word, she just stayed rooted on her seat, face still in her hands.“What happened?“ Darien asked. It was at that moment that the adults acknowledged their presence. Karla just let out a huff.“There's no point hiding it from them.“ Said Charles. He then loosened his tie. "Tell them what you did and the war you've plunged their home Into." He exclaimed.Isabelle wanted to say something but she decided against it. What could she even say? And she believed that her brothers could handle it. "What do we need to know?" Asked Gabriel with a curious look. Isabelle stared at him, slightly shocked. Were they going to pretend that they didn't already know?"Yes father, what do you want to tell us?" Added Darien. Darien's statement answered her question. "He won't talk, because he knows what he's done is wrong." Karla said. She was extremely angry and it bothered Isabelle. She immediately ra
The love of a King Chapter 90: Secret revealed
After their reunion, they all headed back to the palace. Darien and Gabriel had caught three Stags. Isabelle knew that at one point her brothers got competitive. Habriel always wanted to prove that he was a better hunter than Darken, and Darien being the eldest wouldn't allow his younger brother to surpass him. But she just didn't know who got two Stags, to become the winner.When they finally arrived at the palace, Lauren alighted from her horse and immediately went inside without sparing the siblings a look. Darien then pulled his sister and brother inside.“So what happened?“ Darien asked his sister.“Nothing. We talked for a while and I went off to get the Antelope. She followed later on.““So in conclusion it didn't go as planned.“ Said Gabriel.“It was slightly alright. But I asked her about her family and she said that her parents were dead.““Lies, how long do they think they can keep this from us?“ Questioned Darien. He knew his father well, and he knew that he would do anyth
The love of a King Chapter 89: Hunting session
A stablesman Prepared four horses like Isabelle commanded, she rushed over to persuade her eldest brother.“Darien, why do you always have to be a sadist? Queen Lauren has already agreed, why can't you do the same?"“I would follow if you hadn't invited her. We only hunt with our family. She is not our mother Belle."“But she's father's wife and he would like for us to treat her as our mother.““She can never replace mother. Father has literally brought doom to our kingdom by marrying her."“I know, but I just want us to put aside our differences. And maybe Father will even…““What? That he'll become the caring father that he was before? That will never happen Belle. That all perished when mother died. And now that he has another wife, it's impossible." He said bitterly. Isabelle stared at her brother in shock.“It's not impossible! Father will realise that we are giving her a chance and that we respect him. He will change towards us.“ Isabelle stated with teary eyes. Ever since their
The love of a King Chapter 88: Invitation
Rupert decided to go to Valeria with his men of three, to caress his curiosity. Princess Lauren was in this Kingdom and he was going to dig every sort of information about her presence here.Right now, he had just found out something very shocking. The king of Valeria and his princess had gotten married a few days ago! He almost had a heart attack when he heard. He wondered what sort of game the princess, and now Queen of Valeria, was playing. Hooking up with the King of Valeria was bad enough, but getting married to him was even worse. He wondered if his King knew already.There was little information. Apparently the wedding was done low-key and only a few people were invited. That means they didn't want it to get out, knowing that King Owen might find out about it. But how long was she planning on hiding it? It was definitely a secret that would come out in a matter of time.He reported back to King Owen, telling him about when they got married, where when, and even the dress she w

He needed to know if his daughter was really at Valeria, and with their miserable king. It's been two days, and he was getting restless.Fakkey assured that he would get news today.He finally decided to have a seat. All of this prancing won't help him. What will he do if it turns out to be true? Will he storm the kingdom until he gets his daughter back? Or will he send an attack to kill every one of the palace inhabitants, including his daughter.Yes, he was mad. In fact, he was furious at the thought that his daughter could be with that man, the son of his arch enemy. He will never be able to forgive her, no matter how hard he tries.“Your highness.“ He heard Falley say. He was so lost in thought that he didn't realise that Falley had arrived."Do you have news?"“Yes your highness, I just got word from one of our spies.“ He said, while holding up the

In the gallery, Gabriel, Darien and little Isabelle were all seated. Gabriel was busy painting something on a canvas, while he pretended like he wasn't paying attention to his siblings.“So grandmother told you that they weren't accepting Lauren as Queen?“ Asked Darien.“Yes, and so did grandpa. But I don't know why. For some reason, they do not like her. And I like her." Isabelle said with a pout.“And why do you like her already?" He asked.“I don't know, she seems sweet and I'm going to have a sibling!"“You already have siblings, Belle.“ Gabriel responded, as he finally decided to intervene."I mean a younger sibling. It's going to be fun to be older than someone for once.““I don't care about that. All I want to know is why they completely detest her. I understand that they might be mad about father not informing them about the marriage, but that doesn't seem to be the case here."“Of course that's not the reason. There's something more that they aren't telling us, something they
The love of a King Chapter 85: Lauren's Secret 2
King Owen stormed into his room angrily. "Leave!“ He yelled at the maids. Instantly, they scurried out of the room. His brother must be lying. Lauren couldn't be smooth with that man. It was impossible! He knew his daughter better than that.His brother must be trying to trick him, trying to see his daughter as a traitor. But what if it was true? His daughter was in love with the enemy! If that was true, then he would never forgive her. That would be the biggest betrayal. An unforgivable one.After much contemplation, he decides to investigate. He rings a bell at his table and a maid immediately comes in."Your highness?“"Get me Falley.““Right away." The maid hurried to get Falley, the king's right hand man. Falley, after a few minutes of being informed of the king's awaiting his presence, arrived at his room."You were seeking me, your highness?“ Falley is a man of great height. His slender looking body and ageless looking face might make people think he's around his thirties, bu

Across a stretch of wide land, lies a beautiful kingdom. Surrounded by huge mountains, they serve as protection for them.Gasha kingdom has been in existence for hundreds of years, way before Devon kingdom. Although Devon kingdom had more political power and allies, Gasha Kingdom still had power and were greatly feared by most.King Owen faced his men, a look of craziness lurking in his eyes. There were five men standing before him. They all had their heads bowed, a tremor running through them.”It has been two weeks, two whole weeks and none of you have new information about my daughter.” His gaze particular on the last man on the right.”Your highness, we are trying our best. TO assure you, we'll have something for you soon. Just give is a few days…."”A few days? My daughter has been missing for over two weeks. I don't know anything about her well-being.
