Chapter Eight: They were tired

Edward woke up a while ago. From a nightmare that made him jump up from his sleep and it seemed to sobered him up. And after he heard of what happened to Nicolas' parents he couldn't help but feel emotional about it.

His parents' deaths weren't similar to Nicolas' but it didn't mean they both didn't lose parents. He could not imagine how Nicolas felt about it. Losing parents was one thing but losing them in such a way was something else. He had his diary on his lap ready to write on it but before he could the door of his room swung open.

"Nicolas" he got up from his bed placing the diary without a care on the bed. As he headed to where Nicolas stood by the door.

"Did you hear?" Nicolas asked in a whisper like voice?

Edward nodded. "I heard."

Nicolas took one of his hands. "Rose said to give you this." A ring was placed on his finger. A ring that he didn't recognize. He wanted to ask why Rose would give him the ring but he was too curious

She yelled at her brother's son. "You useless idiotic boy!" She had raised him with everything she had. She had taught him everything he needed to know in the kind of life that he would lead. But still the boy had the guts to do so much with her there. "Do not look at me as if you have no knowledge of what I speak of!" She shouted at Edward who was trying to look innocent in her eyes. "I don't believe that it is Mury's raising that has made you into this imbecile that stands before me." She was harsh with words that she knew but this was necessary to bring the boy from whatever world he thought he was in. "You are a duke now. A hand to the kingdom but tomorrow boy if you continue like this there won't be any titles for you. I so promise you on that!" Edward still looked as if he di

    Chapter Ten: Adorable little angel In the nursery room there were loud noises from the tiny humans of the house. Harty had his hands full trying to silence both his twin girls while he had to also feed them their breakfast. "Ugh" he groaned watching his two crying daughters. "Why are you so loud?" He didn't remember hearing children so loud. Well that would be because children didn't really know how to act in front of him. They either got scared and hid or they just ignored him. Now there was no escaping this. These were both his lovely daughters. Crying as if there was no tomorrow. "You're so cute when you are silent don't you think?" The one who was good with the both of them was Justin who just like the wind had vanished right now because of the murder case. He and some of the knights were given orders to invest into it. "That they are" a voice coming from behind him started him. He saw his aunt when she came around to stand in front of him. Her smile on as if it was an a

    Chapter Eleven: Bad as it is Edward didn't feel like getting into the palace this night. He felt more at peace outside. Watching his most favourite thing in the sky. The moon. The moonlight was his first night lamp at night. He used to be a child scared of a lot of things so his aunt would tell him if he looked closely to the moon then he'd see his mother. Because the light the moon brought was the light that it took from the sun who was his mother. Although laughable now then he was quite believing in it all. Sometimes he'd even stare from his window as a young boy to see if what his aunt said about his mom was true. He sat down on the cold grass. Laid himself on it. And looked, watched, gazed and adored that beautiful round orb in the sky. Do you know that they don't appreciate you at all moon. You give them light but they still search for the small stars.

But he knew that his aunt would drag him out of bed if he stayed in it any longer. So he did get out. Getting ready to go to the garden. He wanted to at least have good thoughts that would be provided by the flowers and plants there. Nature could always make him feel better than before. "Good morning aunt" he greeted his aunt Mury when he bumped int His aunt Mury gave him a sharp and painfully long stare before she finally accepted his greeting with her own. "Morning" she moved out of his way letting him to finally be free of her for only a few minutes. He didn't take this lightly. Walking faster than needed just to get away from his aunt Mury. He found himself not in the garden but the study. There were some fond memories there. Memories of him and his two cousins being taught how to read but

Rose is a good woman. No one and nothing could dispute that fact but the thing was Edward's heart. He had no feelings for Rose. No feelings but only friendship for her. Then he remembered how boldly Nicolas had taken him on. For Rose's hand. So he had made his decision. "Edward?" The shake on his shoulder made him get back to reality. He was in front of Harty and Justin. He faked a smile. "Oh I have a lot in my mind. I apologize." "It's quite alright to have a whole lot in your mind Ward what's wrong is you making us fools to look at you while you say nothing." He nodded at Justin's words. "I need you to tell Arthur something for me " "Why will you not tell him yourself?" Justin questioned. Edward didn't want to see or talk to Arthur at this moment. He thought he'd just blow

    Chapter Fourteen: A Boy And A Rose The sun was shining bright on the window in Rose's bedroom. Edward was still deep in unconsciousness. His hands were both gripping at Nicolas' own. As he kept on twisting and turning. Talking and mumbling words no one in the room could hear. "I wonder what kind of dream you're having" Nicolas voiced out. Still not making any move to remove his hands from his as of now fiance's. "Whatever it is seems intense" Harty said breathing out a sigh. Arthur looked at his wrist watch. "If he doesn't wake up soon we'll have to go Michael. We'll leave him here with you Nicolas." Nicolas dropped his eyes to Edward. Who now was starting to stir awake. Edward could feel the eyes that were on him but he still saw in a blurring vision. He sat up on the bed he could feel he was on dragging along the owner of the hands he still had a grip on. This made Nicolas to be fully on the bed as well. His vision started to cloud out just at that moment. He smile

"My lady forgive me but I have a question for you. Please don't answer it if it upsets you." Gloria, the head maid said as she busied herself in getting Rose's hair straight. "Ask" Rose watched her on the mirror ready to hear what she would say. "The duke and your errand boy have now gotten engaged my lady. All because of your insisting. Why is that?" Rose smiled at Gloria. "Fate always goes like that dear Gloria. Everyone who are meant to be together are together. No one and nothing can change that." "So if I say you're that fate that led them together would I be wrong mam? I mean you're the one who pushed them together. With the letters at first and then everything else ended up like this." "Aren't they happy now? They're engaged. Good for them." And that was all Rose said ending the topic. *Rose was only six years old

"The festival is still starting now" Arthur said as he took the head seat of the table. He proudly puffed out his chest. "My son's first birthday will be celebrated for days to come." "The heir of the kingdom still sleeps at this hour your highness?" One of the nobles asked. "Is he not awake even to eat his own birthday cake?" "Don't worry sir my son has already eaten his cake and when he wakes up he will eat some more" Michael answered him dismissively. And after that no one said anything else about the little prince. Everyone just minded their own business of the day. Which was to eat the feast that they were being served. Rose had a lot of food in front of her but she didn't see anything that interested her enough to make her dig into it. "Daughter eat" her mother pushed the plates closer to her.

I wasn't... I mean there was a moment, a moment where I kinda wanted to really kiss him. Especially when he licked at my lips. Trying to make me open my mouth but of course I refused him. I want look like a woman now but I know I'm not. The kingdom has a specific set of rules, the first in the line is No same sex couples. I for one had absolutely nothing against being gay. You can't choose who you fall in love with. But in this kingdom you can be killed for it. Especially if you're royality. Being the prince and gay would make my life pretty difficult. So no thank you. I love my life too much to just let myself be dead like that. “ You're silent for once.” Moli commented as we got inside the house. “ I just don't have anything to say that's all. ” He nodded. “ I'll go pl

I laughed making them to look at me. “ What are you guys doing?” “ Since your brother is making our lives difficult. We're going to go kidnap your husband to be. To go throw him in the arms of your brother. The sooner we do this the better for all of us” I smiled and swiped at my phone to the pic I took of both Moli and his girlfriend. Showing the both of them. Mom was first to gasp and snatched away my phone from my hands. “ Is this...?” I nodded, “ That's Moli,your son mom. He has a girlfriend and by the looks of it their pretty much happy. His eyes literally lit up the minute he saw her come in the room. Their in love.” “ If their in love then what's this about him wanting to get a night with the prince?” Father asked as he looked at the pic as well. I sighed. “ Well he just thinks I'm too young to get married. I think he just

Oh. The silent treatment. Okay guess that's fine too. I went to the kitchen to prepare something for the both of us. Since there was only butter and bread there wasn't any choice but the obvious. I took two plates for us and put four slices on each and then spread the butter on the bread. Then took out the juice from the fridge and poured it on two glasses. I managed to balance both plates and the glasses on a tray with one hand. Which was a horray! For me. When I got to the living room again I saw the girl trying to sit up but failing . I placed the plates on the coffee table along with the drinks. I then went to help her sit up but the stubborn girl tried to push me away. “ Do you want to eat? Or should I leave

    Chapter 4 Baluthando I was getting very annoyed right now. What was taking the ambulance so long? I seriously didn't want to stand one more second listening to this guy. He had the guts to think I'm a girl! That shit needs to stop! If only I could feel my legs and see! I would kick the living day lights out of him. Then he'd know better than to just insult royalty for his personal gain. “ Seeing that we're gonna stay here together for a while would you mind telling me how you got to the woods? Plus the blindness and cripple thing. Don't leave the being girl now part out. ” Is this guy serious?! Lord! If you could just give me my sight and only my left leg I would have killed this asshole now. “ Will you shut up! I've had enough of your voice. Please!” “ Heard enough of my voice? Now that's a new one. I'm usually the one who gets enough of the others' voices. Not too bad for a girl.” I am literally shaking from the inside right now. The anger this guy is giving me right now!

    Chapter 3Molitha I woke up feeling like a truck hit me. I really wasn't in the mood or the right mind to fight or talk to anyone right now. Who was I even kidding? No one talks to me. So this grumpy mood of mine is for myself and I. Might as well go for a run to at least get this bad mood out of my system before work. God knows if I do one more thing to get Mr Smith angry he's gonna fire me for sure. And the mood I'm having right now won't do any favours for me. I didn't bother to change from the clothes I now had just noticed I slept with. I blame that fucking ‘family meeting’ it's the one that's causing me to get so angry early in the morning now! Moli breathe. Getting worked up won't help you now. A run will. I'm totally messed up. I have to calm to myself to calm myself down. The hell is that! I put my earphones started jogging outside. About a mile away from the house I started to come back but as I reached the Tercab woods just close to my house I saw somet

    Chapter 2 Molitha I arrived home. Collapsed on the bed. What the heck did I do?! One night with the prince? Am I crazy?! Not only will that not happen but I'd be thrown to the hangers if the king or anyone else other than the family heard me say such a thing. Being gay in this kingdom is a serious offense. An offense that will be treated as if it were treason. We live in the twenty first century where anything is possible. Anyone can love anyone but not here. No such a thing will be found here. We are like dark ages except modern. What would I even do with the prince the whole night? Ugh! Moli! Why can't you just live through the grudge? Because I can't! I want to see those people suffer like they made me suffer. So declaring that you won't be part of your sister's wedding till you get one night with the prince is revenge? Yes! Because they'll never agree to it. Oh yeah? The same parents who do everything in they're power to get what they want are t

I stay at my own house and they stay at theirs. I felt nothing for the house that I once called home. The house that once was home. But now it just feels like a holder of all the bad memories of my life. All the memories I have tried so hard to suppress. Here I am now at same place I hate the most. "You made it" I looked up to see Celiwe,my little sister. She ran to me. I opened my arms for her. The hug was brief but it had all the emotions that we were feeling. I last saw her when she was sixteen now at eighteen she looks so grown and all woman. I almost didn't recognize her. "Do you know how much I missed you!" She screamed still clinging onto my jacket. "You know where my house is. "I replied with an emotionless voice. Even with her I knew I couldn't be free to talk as I p

I had no one. Arrow also had the responsibility of taking care his daughter not that he couldn't let the servants do it but I understand him. He just lost his wife and all he had left of her was their daughter. I wish at least my case was the same. I could have someone to kill the boredom with but I have no one. Just as I was going for a sip the throne room doors were opened by a guard. I stared at him waiting for explanation of the disturbance. “Your highness the queen has returned.”My head jerked up when my eyes connected with blue ones. Ones that I knew as Eva's. She wasn't the only one that surprised me with though. The baby in her arms also surprised the alcohol out of me. I stood up, looking at her. She only gave me a grim look. “Eva?”“No Evangeline now.” She correc

Don't fucking joke with things like that!”“Sire she is in your bed chambers this minute with the midwives.” What was she saying? “What?” I rushed to the stairs racing like my life depended on it. To my room where the shouts and screams were coming from. I pushed the door open. To see the shock of my life. My wife was truly giving birth. She was lying on the bed. Screaming at the top of her lungs as she kept on being told to push. “Lorinda.”“Arrow?” she gasped out. I didn't understand. How come I never knew my own wife was pregnant? She didn't show any signs of it. She had no baby bump in fact I don't even remember her mentioning any sicknesses. I was about to approach her but the midwives pushed me
