The love of a King Chapter 56: Midnight Adventures 2
They are here, and the king wasn't back yet. I felt a bead of sweat cover my forehead. It was a cold night, but I was starting to feel hot.The scary looking men walked over to the counter and sat a few seats away from Aurora. I looked side to side, wondering when the king would arrive. I felt a hard gaze on me and I unconsciously shivered. Sensing the direction, I realized that it was one of the men from the gang.I could just leave, but where would I go? And the king ordered me to not move an inch. But my senses were telling me that this could go wrong. I was completely surrounded by men."Do you need some company sweetie?" One of the gangsters asked. He had a wicked gleam in his eyes and I almost shrinked into my seat. I summoned all of my courage and said; "No, I'm fine." My tone is much stronger than I expected."Why would a pretty girl like you be seating all alone in a place like this? Did your man dump you?" The man I considered was the leader asked. The smirk on his face was

The meeting was over and I sighed a breath of relief. I was a table away from them, although I pretended not to listen to them, I heard every word they said. That is why I am here, to be a witness for the king, in case of any eventualities. When I realized they were done, I nearly jumped off my seat. I did not want them to see how much in a hurry I was to leave, so I tried to conceal my eagerness.Before we left, Jeff gave me look as if warning me to watch my back. The thought of him coming after me frightened me to my bones. 'Why did you punch him Aurora? You could have just screamed for help and the king might have heard.' I thought. When I stepped out of the tavern, I realized that the carriage wasn't there. 'How are we going to get back?'"We are going on foot." He said. My eyes widened with shock. 'But it was past midnight!'"It's so that we lose them." He said. He had already started walking and I rushed to move beside him. Normally, I shouldn't walk beside the king but I was wo

Heavy rain drops beat the roof of the carriage. As Alexander stared out of the rain-coated window, different thoughts ran through his mind, and the most persistent thought was why he decided to bring the maid along. He could have chosen someone better, but for some reason, he chose her instead. Probably he thought that she was trustworthy enough? He couldn't tell why. He looked over at the girl, whose head rested on the window's side. She used her braided hair as a pillow and her brows were slightly furrowed. She was definitely not sleeping comfortably. Bringing out his pocket watch, it showed that it was way past midnight. They were still three hours away from Devon and the girl later would eventually wake up from a sore neck. With a defeated sigh, he opened the window that separates them from the rider. “Find the closest inn, we're stopping for the night.“ Without adding any other details, he closed the window back. He ran his hand through his hair slightly. The deal he made with

The next morning;A small groan escaped my lips as I woke up. I covered her face with my hands because of the sunlight that pierced through the curtains. rubbing my eyes, I suddenly realized that my shared room has never been this bright. Snapping myself. out of my hazy state, I realised that she was indeed not in her shared room at the palace.'Where I'm I?' I wondered. The bed I slept in was quite big, not as big as the one's at the palace though. I then remembered last night's events. All I could recollect was being in the carriage and eventually going to sleep. I looked around the room and my eyes fell on the King. I had spent the night in the same room as the king! I was so shocked. They must have stopped for the night. But why did they sleep in the same room? I wasn't wearing my coat which left me with my blue ankle length dress and my shoes were at the side of the bed. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck. That was probably from the way I slept in the carriage. I got up fro

We were back in Devon. The entire journey was filled with a soothing silence I was glad about. This morning's events was still fresh in my mind and I don't know how I survived another three hours confined with him. When we got to the palace, I literally jumped out of the carriage. There were a few maids doing one thing or the other. I noticed some curious stares but I ignored them allIt suddenly hit me that I also had a job to do, and I had not asked for permission. Heavens the chef was not going to be happy. I sighed a little, wondering what was installed for me with the chef and Gwen.“You have permission to be absent this morning, it's been settled with Martha.“ The king informed me. I stared at him blankly, wondering when he did that.“Thank you, your highness.“ I said with a slight bow. At least I had a few more hours to get some rest. I headed to the maids entrance, while reciting what I was going to tell my sister.****Meanwhile, Gwen has been wondering all sort of things. Wo

Aurora was in her bed, tossing and turning. It was past her bedtime, but she couldn't sleep. She had not seen her sister throughout the day, not until when she returned from finishing her duties. They did not say a word to each other and Aurora did not know what to do. 'Could Gwen be right? Was she actually greedy? Was she ambitious?' Aurora kept asking herself lots of questions but she could not find an answer to either of them. She never had the intention of enticing the king. She had tried to stay away from him because he frightened her. Although she could not deny the fact that he was quite charming and handsome, she has never seen herself being with him. Or is it that she hasn't released yet?She always found it to be weird that Gwen held feelings for someone she had never met. She thought that her sister was not serious about it, but looks like she was wrong.She couldn't fight with her sister, especially because of an issue like this. She had to solve this tomorrow.The next

After getting over her emotional break-down, Aurora continued with the rest of her duties. She decided that it was best to not overthink her situation. And the first step in achieving that was to move out.“But why do you want to move out?" Martha asked me. I knew she would ask that, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find an excuse beforehand. I said the first excuse that came to my mind.“I just think it's for the best,“ came my lame excuse.“And why would that be? You get along well with Lisa, and what about Gwen?"“She's ok with it.“ I said slowly. I could see the hesitant look on her face. She definitely didn't believe me. “Alright, do you mind moving in with Isabelle? She stays alone and that will give you more space.“My eyes brightened when I heard this. “Yes please.“ Martha nodded and then left, but not without giving me a final glance. I was relieved that my roommate would be Isabelle. I don't think she would be bad to stay with. ****“Why are you leaving all of a s

Two weeks later;Laura walked down the halls of the valerian castle. A few maids bowed their heads in greeting to the lady. She ignored them all and entered the throne room.“You called for me, your highness?““Have you heard from your friend?" Darien asked. “No your highness, I haven't heard from her in weeks.“ Laura would have been worried, but she always heard that she usually writes to Darien, so she rarely worries herself. But now that Darien was questioning her about Belle, she started to worry. “Did something happen?““That's it, I haven't heard a word from her, which is unusual.““What do we do then?“ Darien didn't reply. He thought about his options. Sending someone there could endanger her. His only option was to wait. “She will send word soon. I can't send anyone now."“But what about the maids, that is why they were sent to her, to inform us on her well-being." Laura said with a frown.“Hmhm, you can leave.“ Darien replied instead. Laura left the room with a bow. 'Was

"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

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

In the kingdom of Gasha;King Owen was pacing frantically in his throne room, waiting for some news from his right hand man, Falley. 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

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.
