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.

The love of a King Chapter 47: Justice Committee
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 love of a King Chapter 48: Sick
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
The love of a King Chapter 49: Ruined dinner
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 love of a King Chapter 50: Talking to Lisa
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
The love of a King Chapter 51: Talking to the king
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
The love of a King Chapter 52: The trader
When I stepped out of the palace, it was late in the afternoon. I wondered if we could arrive before dusk. I felt a presence beside me, and a voice said."Are you ready?" I heard the king say. I turned to face him. I gave him a small nod. Walking down the steps, I followed slowly behind the king. I realized that Sir George wasn't here. 'Wasn't he supposed to be coming with us?'George won't be coming with us." I nodded. "We are heading to Eastway village, that's where I met her." I said softly. Alexander hummed and told the rider.I sat stiffly in my seat. I really hope that we find the woman. I heard some of the maids talking about Martha. She questioned the maids, if any of them had gone to Lukehall these past days. That meant that the king has already inquired from Martha. But no maid has left the palace for another kingdom without permission. Finding the woman was my only hope, Lisa's only hope.My eyes strayed towards the king. As always he had a composed demeanor. He looked throu
The love of a King Chapter 53: The truth comes out
The sun was about to set when we arrived at the palace. When the woman descended from the carriage, her mouth hung wide open. 'She was at the palace!' Her shock was very evident, then confusion came forward. What was she doing here? Why had this girl and this extremely handsome man brought her here? Who were they? So many questions ran through her mind. "Your Highness, you're back." George said in a monotonous voice."I want all of the maids gathered now." His voice came out gentle, but Aurora felt that his actions would not be.""Right away." The woman who stood beside Aurora, started to put two and two together. The man was the King! She had spoken to the king, the man who was surrounded by many unspeakable rumours. She trembled on her feet and she cursed under her breath. Why was she here? Did she do something wrong?All of the maids were gathered in the dining hall. Wondering why they've been summoned, they all started making up reasons.Gwen was searching around for her sister.
