Will Bear the Moon Chapter 38
“Good Morning King Alexander, Queen Belinda.” Ana shifted uncomfortably in her seat. “Thank you for inviting me.” King Alexander lessened his smile at the cold greeting, but it did not affect Belinda. She continued as if all was normal. On the outside, at least.“So glad you could come.” Belinda took some tea. “I wasn’t sure you were going to make it. Since I heard no word from you.”Ana felt her spine straighten at the insinuation. I received the letter so late. Ana knew it would take a week to have a response. By then, the party would have started. She would have shown up late anyways.But still, Ana felt guilty.“I…my invitation arrived late.” Ana looked down at her feet. “I apologize. I came as quickly as I could.”Quietly, Ana darted her eyes to find her Father. He was looking straight at her.He won’t do anything in front of the party, will he? Not with so many young and impressionable girls around. And at that, Ana made to take another look around the girls dressed in the

Mykhol could see the smaller tables filled with human girls across the lawn. Their dresses looked silly and overbearing from his spot. They all looked like colored cotton balls.Periodically, Mykhol could see one lift their head and look his way. Then, a quick blush would cross their face before they'd go to whisper to one another. And when they did, another would look up. It kept repeating as Mykhol watched on.Mykhol had to smirk at their apparent interest. But it held little weight to him. He was not here for them.Mykhol looked on to find the flash of red. “There you are.” Mykhol drew back his lips to show his fangs. Ana was sitting at the main table. She seemed somewhat cramped, though. The table seemed relatively small for all of them.Mykhol could see her sandwiched between four. Queen Belinda at the one end, King Alexander at the other, Nicoli sat beside her, and the other-Mykhol dropped his smile at the sight of the giant who sat at the table. The one dressed in a dress j

Ana found herself in a difficult situation. Her father being the most significant cause of her turmoil. But that was not the only issue. Ana was faced with a completely new problem.Ana was used to being the recipient of attention. In her court, she was the main attraction. She was Empress, though, so it made sense.But Nochten's attention was on rules. There was a silent way of reservation and decorum in her approach. If not out of custom, it was practiced out of respect.In Dawny, however, Ana faced an entirely different form of the spotlight. One that was more animated and full of compliments with conversations that ran together. Ana found herself in a drift in the center of a crowd. The sea of excited girls was moving and swaying in their puffy dresses. Some even bounced off the others, thanks to their hoop skirts. But they didn’t seem to falter as they returned to pushing closer.Ana couldn’t help but feel the sensation similar to a mouse cornered by cats.I’m not sure I like t

As King Alexander made his way over to the crowds, he couldn’t hide his prideful smile. Both his children had stolen the spotlight of the party. And if it wasn't obvious before, seeing how the girls surrounded both of them (aside from the few who dared talk to Hidi) was proof enough.My children are popular. King Alexander beamed. But was that such a surprise? The answer was simple.Of course, they would be. He never doubted it for a second.Because both his children were handsome, anyone with eyes would be charmed. Wherever they went, everyone would stop to look after them. They wouldn't have to try- they would get attention. So it was clear neither would have problems making friends. Or suitors.King Alexander couldn’t help but catch what the girls were giggling about. It seemed the conversation of marriage had come up. And King Alexander couldn’t help but smile with a gentle shake of his head.So young yet already optimistic. King Alexander thought regarding the girls. He could s

Why is he taking us here? Ana thought, seeing the hedge maze ahead. They were moving further and further away from the lawn. The sounds of the party grew quieter as they moved.Ana quietly noted they were moving further away from everyone. And by that, having no risk of anyone overhearing them. But the realization made Ana's gut sink. As she did not believe this boded for good tidings. He plans to take me out of sight and berate me. Ana felt sure. If not, why else would he?It will be the best way he can do this without drawing attention. Ana knew. If anything, Ana could say it was a saving grace that he chose to be discreet. It meant no one else would have to feel the second-hand embarrassment- or ruin the party for the guests. This would just stay between them. He's taking this better than I expected. Ana was grateful, but still, she felt nervous. And her back stiffened as they walked through the maze entrance. This was bound to happen at some point. Ana told herself. She had t

King Alexander listened as Ana told her tale. But by midway, he could barely contain his feelings. They tittered from anger to disgust.King Alexander clenched his free hand. But he was careful to hide it. So less Ana sees it. “But I couldn’t help myself. “Ana went on looking down to the ground as if guilty.“I couldn’t throw them away. So I kept them, every one.“And Ana went quiet after a moment. Every letter? King Alexander thought.Nicoli wrote a letter every week. Why that would mean years' worth? King Alexander had to stop as he felt his stomach clench. Tears rimmed his eyes as he suddenly felt the immense pain of it.What must Ana have felt seeing the letters come and not being allowed to read them? King Alexander felt his heart clench. It was tremendous. How long must she have suffered?“I see. “King Alexander replied at last. He now felt he had a better picture of what had happened.King Alexander opened his mouth to speak, but Ana again went on.“I would have continued o
Will Bear the Moon Chapter 44 Belinda
Once the party was dismissed, Belinda stole away into her room. She needed to dress and make herself ready. For what, though, was the cause of her frustrations.“Julia!” Belinda screeched. The old woman appeared without a flinch. Instead, she seemed to expect the abuse. “Inform the servants to set up tables in the dance hall- but clean it first! I mean, sweep the floors, polish the statues, clean the mirrors-.” “Oh god.” Belinda groaned while thinking. There was just so much to do. And she felt frazzled. It’s all because of that bastard of a girl. Belinda blamed. This was her fault. Otherwise, her husband wouldn’t have been so stupid and rash as to make an announcement right in front of everyone like that. Yes, Belinda would now have her hands full because of her. She'd have to assemble a ball in a matter of hours. Something unheard of- such things take months to prepare.But here I am again, picking up after that foolish man.Belinda could already feel a headache start above her
Will Bear the Moon Chapter 45 Naska & Ana
Naska was not in a good mood. She was still hot and sweaty. There wasn’t even a grace of shade from a nearby tree she could stand under. And Mykhol refused to go back inside despite how blatantly Naska complained.But that wasn't the worst of it.No one even talked to us. Naska remembered feeling even more slight. They were standing so long, and no one bothered to come over. They just stared and kept their distance.The only one who did was the queen herself. Thinking of her made Naska shiver. She could still feel those gray eyes on her and judge her even when sitting. Almost like she was trying to make, her shrink away.What a scary human. But even with that, Naska found the woman gorgeous. And the way she carried herself was inspiring.If I were a queen, I’d like to be like her. And Naska had a quick thought of being the one at the table. Sitting so comfortably sipping tea and she stared down at whoever spoke to her- both imposing and beguiling.I could. Naska thought again.
