All Chapters of The King's faceless wife.: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"You spent the entire day out and yet, you brought no reports? You expect me to believe that?" Father asked as he stared me down."It is what I have returned with. It's your choice to believe me or not." I shot back with out looking back at him.Father slammed his hand on the table, causing Cassian to flinch.My eyes never left Cassian after he walked in to the council chambers. He was a bit more collected that he was earlier l. But once in a while, he would glance at Uncle Jeremy and I, wondering if we would out him any second."Do you think this is a joke?" Father roared out in the most tempered voice I have ever heard from him."What do you expect me to do?" I finally turned my head over to my father and saw how much he was fuming. "You wanted me to investigate travelers who walked through the night yet you insisted of sending me when the sun was up. I looked around the locals and the Inns but nothing is out of the norm."Father clenched his jaw as hard as he could, if no one was h

"My Lady... Wake up!"Mirra shook my left shoulder in hopes that I would get up."Leave me alone, Mirra." I let out a groan as I rolled on my other side to give her my back.I heard Mirra sigh before I felt the covers getting snatched off of my body."Mirra!" I warned but she wouldn't even let me speak as she grabbed both of my hands and pulled me up in a sitting position."It is a very important day for you, My Lady. You need to get up.""What important day?"Mirra lifted her left eyebrow at me."The younger royals want to spend the day with you, My Lady. I had already told you that the night before. Don't you remember?"I reached out to pinch the bridge of my nose with a sigh.I don't remember having a conversation with Mirra at all. I was so upset and angry at Prince Barlion that I had a massive headache, one big enough to force me in to bed as soon as I returned to my chambers."I don't remember." I admitted before dropping my hand on my lap."Why do they want to spend the day wit

I walked over to Prince Barlion's chambers amd I was surprised when I realized that there wasn't any shadow following my every steps.I stopped once to look around, still not believing the freedom I felt at the mere thought of not being seen from the dark hall corners.It felt good.On my way to his chambers, I was constantly thinking about our conversation in the garden.After Prince Barlion had admitted that he didn't like it when I walked out on him, I felt something weird. Something was flipping and fluttering in my stomach. I had felt a flattered stomach before but that felt different.I'd placed my right hand flat against my stomach as soon as he said that and looked away.His gorgeous face shining in the sun did not help my stomach.Because it had been lunch hour, I told him that I needed to go to my temporary chambers and he had wished me a good meal, as did I.It felt like the whole conversation we had had opened a gate way between us. It felt a lot more lighter to be around

Frost Sorrow...Letting out a soft groan, I stretched my hands over my head before I rolled to my side and hugged the pillow next to me.I took in a deep breath and inhaled only to be met by Prince Barlion's scent.Throwing my eyes open, I jerked up in bed and realized that I was sleeping in the Prince's chambers.As I was looking around his chambers, I remembered everything thay happened the Previous night. From getting to Prince Barlion's chambers to finding him in his study, from sharing such an intimate talk to almost taking my cloth off, from the loud bangs to the uncomfortable sleep by the desk and finally from learning the truth about Damon to getting tucked in bed by my husband.Letting out a sigh, I ran my fingers through my hair before I stood up.I glanced at the window to see that it was fully covered and not a single ray of light slipped in. I should probably go to my temporary chambers by now.With another sigh, I picked up my cloth from the small table by t

Barlion Great....The previous day had been great. The news Uncle Jeremy had delivered to me had made my day.Old man Damon's corrupted ways were really good for me. Not good for the Kingdom but good for me.Cassian was already handled and now so is Damon.The man is a hot head and had tried to go for my throat when he came to talk to me, just like how uncle Jeremy and I had predicted.The man might be sixty, the same age as my father, but he too has not lost his touch in the art of making a threat.He had swore up and down that he would ruin my life. He had even raised his hands up to strike me. Of course, I wouldn't let him.With the simple reminder of who my father was and how he hated thieves and liers, the man was floored just like Cassian was.When he was calm enough to listen to me properly, I told him that I had damning evidence against him and that I would be glad to forget about all of it if he gives me his vote and support my claim for the crown.Damion had
