The love of a King Chapter 44: Sent out
Vivian walked into her house furiously. She was both angry and heartbroken. She couldn't believe that Alexander could say such things to her. She flung herself unto the couch."Sweetie, don't worry, Alexander will eventually see that you're the perfect woman for him." Said Esther, as she tried to console her daughter."Didn't you just hear what the king said? He is not going to marry her, why won't you get that into your head Esther?" Desmond Lancaster asked his wife."And why should I? She can't miss this type of opportunity.""Opportunity? The king was very clear. Do you want to end up in a dungeon?""As far as queen mother is on our side, that will never happen." She said. She then continued;"Vivian you yourself haven't been playing your cards right. You've had so many opportunities to make him fall for you. Get your act together." She scolded.Desmond just shook his head in disbelief. "Do whatever you like. Just hope she doesn't end up dead." He said and walked away. Meanwhile, V

"Aurora, let's just leave, I doubt that they can help us." Said Sam. Aurora and Sam were in the village. Martha had asked Aurora to help her find a maid that hasn't been coming to work. She was given an address and she asked Sam to escort her. Getting to the house, they found out that the maid did not live there as she said. Now, they were asking some neighbors."But Martha...""We'll just tell her what happened, now let's go." He said and dragged his cousin out of the place. They got back onto the streets."Why do you think the maid lied?" I asked Sam."I don't know Aurora, people do weird things." Sam saw a woman seating by the roadside. She had a solemn and confused look on her face."Look there Aurora." I looked towards the direction, I saw a lady seated there. I then looked at Sam. "Should we go over to her?" I asked him. He held my hand, and we went over to the lady. The lady looked up to see two people hovering above her."Are you alright? Do you need help?" I asked. Isabelle g

It's been a week that Isabelle got to the palace and she was desperate to leave. She hadn't realized that being a maid was very difficult. Here, she was a meager, a peasant who served the the king that was responsible for her brother's death. This really annoyed her.She has already written a letter to her brother, and she has just received a reply. She was currently outside in the garden, hiding behind a pillar. It read;Dear sister;"You only have my consent to this plan because I would like to see how far you will go. You have told me your plan, and I will try my best to help you to succeed. At the end of the day, you are my sister and my only family. I have sent people to watch over you. Two of your loyal maids will be there with you, helping you with whatever you need. Now I advice you to be careful. Your brother, DarienShe gave out a sigh. She knew that the only maids that were close to her in Valeria were Matilda and Lissette. She was glad that she would have company here. Th

A man walked through the thick forest. Wearing a long brown coat and a hat, his only source of light was the moon. He squinted his eyes to see properly. The wheel of his carriage had come off a few miles away, and he was looking for a way to fix it. He knew that the possibility of him finding someone out here was very slim. So he thought that he could find something that could help him here in the forest.His boots made muddy prints in the wet soil of the forest. It had rained severally yesterday. He picked up some logs of wood, wondering what he could do with them.After picking logs for a while, reality finally dawned on him. He might just spend the night on the road. There was no way he could fix his carriage. He dropped the logs back onto the wet ground. He could see something sticking up from the soil. Curious, he squatted to investigate. Although he couldn't see clearly, but he could perfectly see what it was. It was a finger! He swallowed a hard lump.Jerking onto his feet. He

The king wasn't joking when he said that I would be sick today. I felt very weak and tired. I had a fever and I was sweating profusely. I just didn't know why the flower's effect took such a tl bug toll on me. The king said that they usually wear off quickly, but it wasn't the same for me."I still don't know how you got this sick." Said Gwen."It's the stress, I'll get better soon." I said. I had the covers up to my nose. I did not tell Gwen the real reason behind my sickness. For some reason, I felt like it would just cause an argument between us. But now that I thought about it, word must have spread that I was with the king last night. A few of them might have even heard what he told Martha. I groaned internally."Do you need anything?" Asked Gwen."No don't bother, I'll be fine. Now go do your work." I mumbled."Alright, I'll try to check on you later." She said before leaving. I sighed before closing my eyes to get some sleep.****"Right now, all I need is to be able to finish

Vivian was seated in the midst of her two friends. They talked about different topics, one of them finally said."Ladies with all of this chatting, I forgot to tell you the main reason why I planned this tea party." Said lady Margaret, daughter of Mr and Mrs Kingston. Her father was once part of the justice committee, but he retired a few years ago, claiming that he wanted to spend more time with his family."What is it about?" Asked lady Charlotte."I am getting married in a month!" She said with excitement evident in her voice."Really? that's great. Who are you getting married to?""To minister Richard."Don't you think that he's to old for you?"Asked lady Charlotte."Only by fourteen years, ladies have done worse. And I don't care about the age difference, I just want someone who has connections and his connection is with king Alexander." She said. Her tone dripped with ambition.Vivian's face turned sour when she heard the king being mentioned. She had still not forgotten about w

The next day;It's been two days that the poisoning event took place. That means that it has been two days that Lisa got thrown into the dungeon. I still found it to be strange. Why would Lisa want to poison the king and his family? She doesn't seem to have any motive to do so, unless she was sent to carry it out.I was currently seated in princess Ella's room. She had made plans for us to go out in a few minutes and I was watching her get ready."Aurora, which do you prefer?" She asked. I turned to see her holding two pairs of shoes. I stayed quiet for a while before answering; "The gold one?" I said unsure of my decision."Yes, just as I thought." She said with a full blown grin. She wore the shoes and twirled around in them. A small giggle left her lips. She was obviously happy which left me quite suprised. I did not expect her to act normally after what happened during her birthday dinner. I had expected her to be crying and moody but she was the exact opposite."Alright, I'm read

Through out that day I could only think about Lisa and what she had told me. The evidence against her wasn't too strong. That was probably why they hadn't executed her. I wanted to help in some way but I didn't know how. I remembered what Lisa told me about the strange fabric that was wrapped around the bottle. She said that she has never seen it before. Shouldn't that be some sort of evidence that she knew nothing about the poisoning?If they could see that she doesn't own a material like that. I was tidying up the kitchen with some maids. With Lisa being imprisoned, we were one maid short, which meant extra work. As I worked, a thought suddenly occured to me. It was a strange thought but I still considered it. I finished up my work quickly and ran to my shared room. I opened up my sack and threw all of my clothes on the bed. I started to search desperately for a particular clothe.When I finally found it, a smirk came unyo my face. "A strange colourful fabric, just like what Lisa sa

"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

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

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.

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

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.
