Blue's Pov; "Are you really that happy?" Sarah asked, placing her head on the right side of my shoulder, as she stared at me through the mirror. I looked away, my cheeks morphing into a deep red color. "Woah! Don't tell me the great Blue Flames, is actually blushing!" She exclaimed, teasingly. I hid my face away in my palm, giggling in excitement. "That's enough Sarah, or my cheeks will burst." I voiced, trying to regain my composure, rubbing my cheeks lightly, but the events of last night swarmed in my head once more, and I blushed even harder."You said I should stop, but your cheeks are getting even redder." She commented, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh my goodness! Don't tell me that's what you are actually thinking about—""Stop it Sarah." I laughed out, blushing even more. It is not my fault that I can't seem to think of anything else, but Wilder's hands all over my body, his tongue lashing deep into my pussy, while his hands holding onto me all night. "Where the hell is my
Blue's Pov; Seven days! Seven freaking days passed and the king, not even his shadow has been sighted anywhere around the dining room. I mean- what is this? We had sex, a mind blowing sex! One that I would love to have again, and he ignores me? He goes silent?? Or was the mind blowing experience I thought it was, just me alone? But he moaned! I heard him moan, and his semen dripping out of my vagina tells a different story.Shit!Or perhaps... was it something I did or say? Nah, I don't remember saying anything that would earn me a cold shoulder from Wilder. Absolutely nothing. "Are you okay, your highness?" Sarah voiced, taking me out of my head, and I looked up at her. "Of course. I am fine.""You don't look fine.." She trailed off, staring at my plate of food. "You barely touched your food." She pointed out, staring at the plate of food. I sighed, dropping the fork in my hand down on the plate. "I have no appetite, Sarah." I rose up to my feet, feeling a bit unmotivated. "We s
Blue's Pov; The man turned around slowly, visibly shaking by the turn of events. "You are the queen?" He asked, unable to come to terms with my truth.I released my hair from the tight bun, Rose styled it into, then I wiped off the little dirt she had rubbed on my cheeks."Oh my goodness, it is her." "That's the queen.""That is the woman that married the king.""Yes, she's the one.""But why is she here?" Whispers aroused from around us, as a small crowd gathered not too far away. "Forgive me my queen, I had no idea you were the one standing before me." The bulky man said, going down on his knees. "I should forgive you? Why should I forgive you, when a moment ago you acted so inhumanely to this poor little child." I voiced in disbelief, pointing at the child behind me."I didn't mean to act that way towards him. But I told the child countless times to leave, and he wouldn't listen." The bulky man defended himself, his eyes and knees still lowered to the ground. "Child, why won't
Blue's POV; "What did the king say?" Sarah asked the moment I exited the king's quarters."He doesn't care." I answered swiftly, walking hastily towards my own quarters. "What! How could he say that, the rumors are indeed true!" She exclaimed, matching up to my space." So what are you going to do now?" Her question ignited an idea in my head. I halted, my face lighting up in mischief. "But, do you know what he didn't say?" I asked, grinning from ear to ear. "I do not really love the direction of your question. But fine, what didn't he say?" She responded, her eyes staring at me suspiciously.Continuing my walk to my quarters, I answered,"Our dear king never said I couldn't do anything about it." I smiled brightly, feeling proud of the interpretation I just had. "Uhm... I am afraid to ask. But what do you intend to do about it?" I grinned at her question, and grinned even more on sighting Rosemary. "Just the woman I have been looking for." Rosemary stood before my quarters, and
Blue's Pov:"Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue!!" Sarah's voice invaded my dream, waking me up with a jolt. "Yes." I answered, opening my eyes slowly as I yawned loudly."The Lords, they are all here." She informed me with a smile. I sat up with a jolt, blinking my eyes rapidly as I tried to have an understanding of the message Sarah just passed across. "What?""The Lords, they are in your meeting room as we speak." Sarah voiced once more. "I.. I heard you the first... the first time. But how? I thought they didn't want to see me. I mean, they had obviously ignored my call yesterday." "I also have no idea why they are here, and so early at that." She shakes her head sideways, also trying to have an understanding of why the Lords had come to me so early. I mean— it doesn't make any sense. I stood up from my bed, then sat down on the chair in front of my dresser. I took a napkin from my dressing table, poured a little bit of water from the jug on the dresser, and then used the napkin to wipe
BLUE'S POV"You found my heart, Blue." His eyes. It was those beautiful orbs of his, the way he had stared at me... of his own freewill showing me a glimpse of his true self— those bastardly beautiful eyes of his, had caused my insides to rupture with wants, one that I had tried to bury this past few days."You have to take responsibility, Wilder." I muttered, my breath unsteady. His eyes gazed into mine, confused. "For?""You've made me horny, Wilder Reagan." I confessed, wrapping my hands around his neck. "Then for that, I shall take responsibility." Staring at me with lust-filled eyes, his hands encircled my waist, grabbing me closer... and his lips crashed into mine without hesitation, his tongue plunging into my awaiting mouth as our spittle mixed. I moaned in his mouth, as he pushed me against the wall in a rough way but yet still gentle. His hands parted my legs through my silk gown, as his fingers played with the opening of my vagina. I wanted more... I wanted the piece o
Blue's POVFluttering my eyes opened, a contented smile graced my lips, as I stared at Wilder's face. I listened for a minute to his chest rising and falling like the tide of a subtle sea.I watched his face up close for a few more minutes before deciding to exit his bedroom. I need to start investigating the tax issue, and I can't lay in bed with Wilder all day. Although I really wish I could, but for that to happen, I have to trash my sense of justice.With a little heaviness in my chest, I pulled myself out of bed and sat still for a second, because I had suddenly felt dizzy. Then I attempted to stand up once more, but my tired self wasn't in my way this time— Wilder was. "Leaving my bed so soon?" He questioned, and I could feel myself twitch almost immediately.I rolled my eyes and turned back to face him. "You were asleep the last time I checked." He rested his head on my shoulder, then slowly planted kisses on the blade of my shoulder and I found myself falling into his arms.
Blue's Pov;"Why... why is this empty? Not even a single gold or silver coin? This, it can't be right." Rose mumbled, walking around the big store room crazily. She just can't believe that the lords she trusted so much are actually snakes in disguise. "I guess the lords have been busy filling up their pockets," Wilder voiced, standing right beside me."I guess so." I nodded in agreement, "but what I do not understand, is why they need to fill up their pockets with such an amount of money." "The tax ledger had so much money recorded on it, enough to be distributed among thousands if not millions of men." Sarah chipped in. What she said gave me an instant idea... one that was still forming up a little in my head. But first...I turned to stare at the accountant, but he wasn't in the room, neither was he anywhere to be found. When did he leave?"What is it?" Wilder asked. "The accountant, he is gone." I pointed out, walking out of the treasury room, but I still couldn't find the acc
Blue's POVI showed Wilder all the moves he had taught me, from parrying to sweeping, to blocking. I was pretty sure that at this point I was good at sword fighting now, at least, enough to defend myself. Both Wilder and I went on again with another spar, and although I was very close to getting the wooden sword from him, he stopped me with the tip of his sword pointing at my throat, touching my skin."Ah, I was so close!" I grunted playfully."You have gotten much better now. Way much better. If not for my experience, you would probably be pinning me down right now." He said while I beamed with delight. I love the fact that I was receiving a compliment, and the fact that it was coming from Wilder was a completely different thing. "I have something for you, by the way.""Um, okay." I looked at my wet, damp cloth and shook my head. "I think you might have to let me take my bath first. I have sweat all over me. I need to get out of this clothes."He chuckled."Of course. No problem with
Wilder's POV"Blue, wake up." I mumbled into my wife's ears softly, as I stared at her face with loving-filled eyes.I haven't been able to sleep properly since I heard what Hershel said about my Queen's flames. I could not help but wonder what and how she would protect herself, if she somehow finds herself in a dangerous disruption. "Yes, my love." Blue muttered, half asleep while trying her best not to return to the world of dreams. "No. There is no problem at all. Erm... I kind of had a thought about yesterday..." "Wilder, we talked about—" "I know we did. And trust me, this is for your best interest. I just can't help but fear that you might end up in a dangerous situation-" "And I won't end up in one. Why? Because I have you to protect me." She voiced softly, placing both her hands on my cheeks and caressing my cheeks softly. "Yes, I know that. I will never allow harm to come to you ever, Blue." I responded, gazing into her eyes with so much sincerity. "But... I
(Wilder's POV)My heartbeat accelerated, faster and faster, with every passing seconds as I carried my wife up in my arms, and teleported her to Hershel's workshop. "HERSHEL!!!!! HERSHEL!!!!!!! WHERE IS HERSHEL?" I shouted at the top of my voice, laying Blue on a small bed in Hershel's inner room. I felt fear, I could taste my own fear. Blue said her fire wasn't working, that she could not produce her flames, and the only time Blue said her flames were no longer working, it was because she was poisoned, and was close to the door of death. So is that what is happening? Has she been poisoned again?? No, no, no please. "GET ME HERSHEL!" I growled, my voice bouncing off the walls and making Hershel's students all scared. They all ran out of the workshop with speed, and I rushed back to Blue in the inner room. "How are you? How... how are you feeling." I whispered softly, holding onto her hand in fear.Blue gazed at me with fear in her eyes, "I am fine, Wilder. But... you don't thin
Blue's POVWaking up with a burning hunger in my stomach wasn't my plan when I woke up in the morning, but it happened anyway. I felt hungry, in a way I have never felt before. Because of my flames, I never knew what it felt like to go hungry. I only ate because the food looked good and tasted good, not because I felt hungry. Probably, my hunger is all because of the child inside of me. I can't explain it, but I just know it. I yawned loudly, as I sat up on the bed, then... I stood up and walked over to the window. On opening the curtains, I realized that the sun was already up and hot.This could only mean one thing: I woke up late."Who is there?" I called loudly, staring at my bedroom door. "Yes, your Highness." Two maids rushed into the room immediately at my call, both bowing their heads. "Janice, inform the kitchen to prepare my food. A brunch wouldn't be bad, and you, Racheal, get me ready." "Yes, your highness." They both said in unison, and they both left the room. After
(Blue's POV)"But do you feel any different now? Is the feeling any different from before?" Sarah asked and I smiled.Both she and Rose have consistently been asking me about my pregnancy feelings. It was as though we were both carrying on the pregnancy together. And in a way, we actually were. It is so much that they know exactly how I feel every single day."Not really." I caressed my tummy softly, smiling.It's been a month since I found out I was pregnant with my child, and there has been a wide range of different feelings — from dizziness, to fainting, and eating like a glutton. I mean— I love food, but now... I love it even more. With everyone in my corner, living through it all is not really hard. Especially if the king, my husband, would not stop rushing out of meetings to attend to me. At this rate, the Lords would get fed up."I see." Sarah responded, taking a bite from her biscuit.We were all outside in the garden having a little tea party. I have never really had a tea p
(Blue's POV) I smiled on opening my eyes to a new day, my hands instantly reached out to my stomach as I caressed it softly. I can't believe that I am pregnant, and a child lives inside of me. In months to come I will be a mother, and this is something I never thought possible. A few months back, I was in a cage and I had no hope whatsoever. I believed that I was destined to die slowly and become nothing but a memory to those who knew me. I never thought I would find a new home, and I would be loved in that new home. Wrapping my arms securely around my stomach, I mumbled... "Mummy will protect you. And I will be the best mother you can ever wish for. I love you my child." "Now, why don't we go say hi to daddy?" I gently stood up from my bed, wore a more appropriate gown other than my nightwear, then exited my bedroom and quarter. "Your highness, I was just about—" "Where is he?" I asked Rose, cutting her off. "You mean the king?" She asked, coming to a halt
"I-I think the queen is sick again. She just collapsed in my hands right now. Find something to give her immediately."Okay... I didn't collapse in your hands. Why is he overreacting? I just felt a bit dizzy, and that was all. "Again?" Hershel remarked, taking me off Wilder's arm and putting me on the bed. He placed two of his fingers on my neck, trying to check my temperature. He did the same thing with his palm on my forehead. He asked me to open my mouth while he checked my tongue, then my eyeballs. Going through all of these, he simply sighed."What's wrong with her? Is she sick again? Is it bad? Talk, Hershel.""It is just normal pregnancy symptoms. There is nothing wrong with the queen. Why do you keep rushing her here for no reason? You did this yesterday, and I told you that nothing was wrong with her." A frustrated and tired Hershel let out, "Besides, I already gave her some herbs that would help tone down the pregnancy symptoms, she is really fine, nephew!" "Well, it looke
Blue's POVThe news was out already. The bellman of the Night Shade pack had gone into the pack and announced to everyone about my pregnancy.And now the gates of the palace had been opened to all. I was dressed in an official white royal dress, and Wilder was seated next to me at my right-hand side."Congratulations your highness, I wish nothing but good health to you and your child." Lord Stephen said, placing a small pouch of gold coins on my feet. It was a tradition that once the queen was pregnant, the people congratulated the queen while laying gifts on her feet. A tradition that I have come to love. Growing up, I didn't really ever get gifts from anyone, so somehow... it feels like this whole tradition is giving me all the gifts I didn't get while growing up. "Thank you, Lord Stephen." I responded back, smiling gratefully. Wilder had appointed new lords, and, of course, they were all far better than the old ones. "I know this isn't much, but please accept this your highness.
BLUE’S POV;I lay on the bed, confused by what reason exactly would have made Wilder walk out on me. He was just informed that I was pregnant, joyful news at that and yet… he left?? Is he not happy about it? I thought he said he loved me? Till eternity do us apart, didn’t he think our kids would be part of that love?Sarah was pacing all over the room, carrying a puzzled and troubled expression on her face. She would stop midway, shake her head, hiss, then pace again. It went on for some minutes before she finally stopped and faced me directly."I don't get it. Hershel informed the king that his queen is pregnant and the only way he could react to such good news, was to storm out. How? I really don't get it. Someone needs to make it make sense. Shouldn't the king be happy about being a father soon? Isn't that the normal thing a husband should do when his wife is pregnant? So, what went wrong here just now?" Sarah reacted in an outburst, not caring about the fact that she was talking
