All Chapters of The King's faceless wife.: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Barlion Great... Six days. It's been six days since I last saw my wife, since I let Dorian Great ride out of the main castle in the most luxurious carriage.It's been six days since she told me to get out of her temporary chambers. It's been six days since I betrayed her.I can't blame Frost for wanting me to leave her alone. I had let her down in the worse way possible, broken my promise to her and shattered the peace and bond I was building with her.Just seven days ago, I had Frost in my study, sitting comfortably on my lap and sharing part of her childhood with me.I had her in my arms yet, I just had to hurt her again, didn't I?I let out a sigh as I washed blood from my hands and made sure my nails were well clean too.Discarding the blood socked clothes, I stepped in to the tub amd sunk down in to the warm water.Being in this bathroom reminds me of my wife.It reminds me of the way she cared for me when I was badly wounded, the way she would carefully caress my

Barlion Great....I tied the strings of the leather vest I was wearing. With in the next few minuets, I would be able to see my wife at last.The day had been quite sour. Nothing was out of normal. I was called for a council meeting earlier and father had went about his business with out actually adressing me."Has there been anymore reports about those night travelers?" Father had asked before he brought the glass he was holding to his lips. I watched as he took a sip from his wine and wondered what had inspired him to start drinking this early."No, there hasn't been any new news after the last time I went to visit, your grace." Uncle Hero answered. "The Inn owners had said that they had made a wrong report and that they haven't heard any one traveling at night. They said it was a mistake.""hmm..." Father stared at Uncle Hero before he turned his eyes to me and then looked at Cassian, who looked like he was bathing in his own sweat.Cassian avoided the king's

I walked out of the training hall next to Barlion with a big smile on my face. It felt like a large barrier had been broken and I could see him clearly, which I like."What would you be doing today?" Barlion asked."Nothing much. I still need to keep my strength up and heal. So, I probably will me in my chambers."Barlion nodded his head."What about you, Barlion? What would you be doing?""Nothing out of the usual. I will have to go to the council chamber soon. Father has asked for a sudden meeting." He answered with a grim tone."Does the king usually do that?" I asked, to which Barlion nodded his head."Yes. Of he has an announcement he wants to make or an order he want to pass, he doesn't want to wait for the next day.""I see." I nodded my head."Rest we, Frost." He commented once we neared the hall we needed to go our separate ways."Have a good day, Barlion." I wished with a small wave before turning around the hall that would lead me towards my chambers while Barlion turned ar

Barlion Great...Tapping my fingers against my right knee, I listened to Uncle Hero go through his daily report without actually listening to what he was saying.I was too busy trying to ignore the man sitting from across me. My younger brother Victor.I still find it hard to believe that father let him sit in the council just because he asked to. I had to ask, beg, crawl on my knees and if needed, my chest, to have a seat on the council. And after ten years of begging, father had let me sit in the council at the old age of twenty eight.But Victor gets to sit on the council just because he suddenly wanted to.I could feel his green eyes on me but I didn't give him the satisfaction of knowing that his presence did much to upset me.Victor being allowed in the council chambers means that I have more things to worry about than getting the two remaining votes, like my father possibly handing the throne down to the little brat.I am in the council as a learning party. I som

Frost Sorrow...Pure Silver, Ash Steel, Liquid, God's Bone and Heat steel...Metals from all the five Kingdoms that are, in many ways similar but in little ways different.Many won't be able to tell the difference between the five metals, they were said to be the same but their names are different due to the places they were found in.But great kinds found the difference, differentiating each metal from where it came from.The precious metal in Gold Land Kingdom was called pure silver.The metal found in the half shifters kingdom was called the Ash steel.The metal Found in the Water Kingdom was called Liquid.The metal found in the Night Warrior's Kingdom was called God's bone.And finally, the metal found in the Sun Kingdom was called Heat steel."I don't get what the difference is." I complained as I looked at the book I was reading and then turned my eyes to the silver Key in my hand."Not many can tell the difference, My lady." Mirra replied. "But there are a few differen
