The love of a King Chapter 67: Valpees situation
”So how was it? Did you two have fun? You only spent one hour, what happened..""Mother! Please i just arrived, can't you give me a break?""A break! This is about your future Laura. Now what happened?""Nothing much. We went to eat, we chatted for a while and he brought me back.”"So that's all?" "Yes mother, what else could have happened?" Laura asked her mother."Didn't you two talk about any future plans like marriage?”"And why should we? We've just started to know each other.""You aren't playing your cards right Laura. Don't you like him?"Laura pinched the spot between her eyebrows. Kilan is very good looking and has his charms. He's also sweet and thoughtful. But she wasn't sure if she liked him. Although she felt comfortable with him, that doesn't mean she's in love with him.”I don't know, I can't figure that out right away. Mom please, I'm not in a hurry. Just give me some time to know him better, that is if he wants it.”Mrs Parson gave a sigh of defeat. ”Fine, but pleas

A horse galloped across the yard of the Parson's estate. A messenger man rode this horse towards the entrance. He handed over an item, wrapped in brown paper, to one of the guards at the front.”Delivery for Laura Parson." He informed and then the man rode away.The guard then immediately went to deliver it to the lady. Laura who was in the parlour, reading a magazine with a cup of coffee in her hands, looked up when she noticed the guards presence."What do you want?""A delivery for you lady Laura." He replied and handed over the huge wrapped item. Laura inspected the package. She hasn't ordered anything, so who sent this to her? "Alright, you may leave.” Laura immediately unwrapped the package and there she saw a bouquet of daisies. Her mouth formed an o-shape. The sweet and earth scent of the flowers wafted up her nose and a smile formed onto her lips. She dug through the flowers and she found a note.”A little gift for accepting my invitation. I had an amazing time and I know yo

Kilan was in his office situated in his home. Going through some of the statements and reports of the Valpees attack. Kevin was supposed to be back. Being his assistant, he needed him by his side at all times. But Kilan also needed him to survey the village. Not like the the security there wasn't enough. He just didn't trust them completely.There's a possibility that the attack was because of the newly discovered gold mine. They wanted to carry out their operation, but the village vigilante caught them. But the vigilantes weren't fully equipped. They were killed and the commotion alerted the villagers. The villagers who were still on the streets got caught up in it and they also got killed.They escaped without a trace. They could be local thieves or gang members. Whoever they were, they need to be caught.”Councilman Duran, someone is here for you.” His butler informed.”Let them in." It was quarter past nine. Who could be here wanting to talk to him at this hour of the night? The

A few days later;After Kevin's death, the past few days became hectic for Kilan. First, he dedicated his time in preparing a proper funeral for his deceased assistant, which took place three days after his death.Although Kevin wasn't married, he still had his parents. Kilan paid his condolences to them, promising that he would always be at their disposal.After this, Kilan had to come in front of the council to explain things to them. Although the council ended up concluding that it was a mugging as they earlier suspected, Kilan still didn't believe that. "Kilan, you should try to talk to Mackenzie and see what he says." Said Kamillah. They were in his main office in the council. The chattering outside of the room made him cranky, so he slammed the door shut locked it and pulled the curtains."You seem restless, what's wrong?" She asked, walking towards his desk. He gave a frustrated sigh."Everything Kamillah. Kevin died and no one is working on the case, we don't even have any le

Two weeks later;Laura strolled down the steps at a calculated pace. Moving elegantly, she looks nothing less to that of a princess. She is dressed in a beautiful wedding dress. The dress which flowed freely onto the ground, had its train sweeping the floor. Instead of the classic long sleeve, it was sewn to be short sleeved instead. Her hair was styled in a bun and in her hands was a bouquet of flowers."You look beautiful darling." Says her mother. Laura only gives her a smile. She looks towards her father to see a warm smile on his face. "Are you ready?" Her father asks. Without any delay, they were out of their house and heading into their carriage. Mrs Parson continuously stares at her daughter. It was like she was in awe. To see her only daughter getting married made her emotional.When they arrived at the church, she stared at the qqqatall building. Flowers were arranged at the entrance and petals were sprinkled on the ground. It all looked very beautiful. She links her arms w

Laura was definitely not paying attention to what Ciara was saying. Her mind was on Kilan who just arrived with a woman she knew too well. Ciara, who noticed this, looked to where Laura's attention was.She then saw that Laura was staring at Councilman Duran who arrived with Kamillah Saline."Laura, are you ok?""Yes, I am." Laura had a grimace on her face. And here she was worried about him and he was here, holding hands with some woman. "That's Councilman Kilan Duran, he's part of the council." Ciara informed her."I know." Laura said with a forced smile."And she is Kamillah Saline. As far as I know, she's the advisor to Sir Mackenzie, the head of the council."Laura stared at the woman that had a contagious smile on her face. She looked at her from top to bottom. She had a pretty face, that's for sure, and her shoulder length hair bounced perfectly. The dress she wore fit her perfectly."I know." Ciara gives her friend a dumb look. "So why are you staring at them like that?" "I

“Once again, I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone for attending this small gathering of mine. I hope we have many more of these, Cheers!“ Quoted Sir Philips as he raised his champagne filled glass in the air.A synonymous cheer filled the air, soon enough the guests started to dive into another conversation with each other.“Did you come alone Ronald? I haven't seen you talking to anyone yet."“No, I am here alone. Why do you ask?""Nothing, I just haven't seen you speak to anyone yet."“There's no one in particular I'd like to talk to. Everyone here has their own group to merge with, excluding me and you of course."“Yes, as always.“ She said with a pleasant smile. On the other side of the party, Kilan had noticed Laura between the small sparse of people. Truthfully, he wouldn't have expected to see her here, she had no business at a party like this, but he concluded that it was all because of her parents.It's been over two weeks since he last saw her. And he wondered what ha

Laura was seated in a carriage sent by Kilan. Since he was the one who invited her and she had no idea where the council's club was, he sent a carriage to pick her up. Laura was a little bit excited, yet she was nervous. She was happy that she was going to spend the entire afternoon with him, but it was going to be at the council's club. A place where all of the council members will be. A place where every eye that laid on her would scrutinise her in one way or another.'Was this dumb? She accepting to meet him at the club. They could have met anywhere else other than there, but of course she had to say yes.”Wow, lady Laura." The rider announced. She nodded even when she knew that he wouldn't be able to see her. She peeped out of the window to see a very beautiful two storey mansion. Of course, it was just like her own club, only with a dash of elderly touch.'You can do this Laura. You've been through worse things than this.' She said to herself and finally alighted from the carria

"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
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

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 fact, he was furious at the thought that his daughter could be with that man, the son of his arch enemy.

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.
