The love of a King Chapter 73: Council Party 3
“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

Laura's day ended nicely. After a very interesting tour around the mansion with Kilan, she now found herself back at where she was earlier that day, standing beside the carriage Kilan sent.”Thank you Kilan, I had an amazing time. The most I've had for a long time.” There was a radiant smile on her face and her eyes shone with glea.”You're welcome Laura. I should be the one thanking you. I haven't had this much fun at the club. And it's all thanks to you."”You're welcome Kilan." She replied. They shared a quick but heart-felt laugh.”I'm looking forward to spending another spectacular day with you Laura. Seriously, I am going to start hatching activities we can have together.””Now that would be too much. But I'm also looking forward to spending more time with you.” She then climbed into her carriage."Goodbye Laura.”"Goodbye Kilan." He then shut the door of the carriage. The horses neighs and they started to move out of the club's premises.Kilan headed back into the mansion to lo

Isabelle definitely didn't want to stay any longer in Devon. In fact, she doesn't even know what plan she was going to execute here. It's been over a month, and there has been nothing for her to do to help her brother. She was starting to think that her brother was right. It was foolish for her to come here. But there was no going back now.All she could hope for right now is their plan with Gwen. Although it has to be executed slowly, it was still better than nothing.She was in the store room, arranging some of the items in it. The bags of flour, and other food items that were stored in bags, utensils, glassware, etc. The glassware was placed on a shelf, far away from harm's way. When she was done, she brought out a piece of paper to write on.She had received Laura's letter today, and she wanted to send a reply now that she was less busy and out of sight.Dear Laura;”First of all, I am doing alright, no need to be bothered about me. Secondly, I can't believe you've gone through s

”What else is on the list?” Scott asked. He was right beside Isabelle, of course maintaining the three feet rule. He was carrying at least four bags, and it seemed that they weren't even halfway done.”Let me see." She scanned the paper before looking up at Scott."Just a couple more.''She held two bags, one in each hand. Scott let out a sigh. He did foresee this, but he still did it anyway. Anything is worth it in the game of love.”And by a couple more you mean?" He asked,”About ten more things to grab.” He groaned loudly that some of the passersby gave him a strange look.”I know family members are coming over, but all this is too much.” He complained.”I didn't beg you to come with me, did I?””You should be glad I followed you Belle, you wouldn't have been able to do all of these.” He said, signalling to the bags he carried.”So I should be thanking you?””It would be the nicest thing to do.” She rolled her eyes. He was such a dork. She didn't beg him to come with her, but she w

When they got back to the palace, Isabelle was completely exhausted. But she could head to bed yet, she still had tons of work to do. ”You came back early?” Martha said in surprise when she saw Isabelle strolling the kitchen hallway with tons of bags. Martha collected a few from her."Thanks Martha. I had a little help along the way.” ”Good thing, we have to get everything ready quickly.””What is so special about today?””Nothing, but very close relatives are visiting and there must be no mistakes.””Yes Martha, but you have to be calm. You can't be worrying yourself every time at this age.””Don't worry about me, I have been through worse.””Alright, but everyone has a limit." They got to the kitchen, where the chef and a few maids were already there.”Finally you're back with what I need. For once you did something right.” The man uttered.Isabelle's face turned into a frown. 'So she has never done anything right before? With everything the man has made her go through?'"Chop! ch
Last Updated : 2024-01-16The love of a King Chapter 79: Risky plan
After giving Princess Ella her precious shoes, Gwen left the royal chambers with a satisfied grin on her face. The first phase of the plan was complete. It was very easy to carry out. In order to get close to the royal family and hopefully the king, Gwen had to start with the easiest member, The princess. The plan was Lisette's idea. Every three months, unused items of the royal members and its workers were collected and dumped into the incinerator room. Now, the maids who have been assigned to princess Ella a couple of times know what to do, and what not to do, and that included that those particular shoes could not be trashed, even though they barely fit her.So Lissette cooked up this plan. She collected all the unused items from the princess's room, plus the shoes and gave the shoes to Gwen. So when the princess started to look for them, she would come out and become her saviour. The second phase is much longer and is going to be tedious. Trying to get into the princess. If this

Two carriages pulled into the palace grounds. The guards who were aware of their very much anticipated guests, opened the carriage doors for the guests to alight.A middle aged woman comes into sight. Lifting her silk gown up, she goes down the steps of the carriage with an air of elegance surrounding her. The sun gives her olive gold gown a brighter shade. Her hair is tied and is covered by a colour slightly similar to olive gold. Her daughter comes out next with a big grin on her pretty face. The young teenager steps out wobbly, but lands gracefully on her feet. Her pink feathery gown had gotten in her way and she tripped on it. ”Can you stop acting immature? Act like a lady for once.””I'm sorry mother." She apologised. The smile on her face faltered after her mother's scolding.From the other carriage, a man and a young man have already stepped out. The elder man goes over to the hospital and the young man with a grimace trails along. He is quite good-looking. A nice chiselled fa

The love of a King Chapter 92: King of Devon
"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

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

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.
