All Chapters of The King's faceless wife.: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I leaned on the door of our chamber, trying to listen to the conversation going on on the other side.'The King is doing well." I heard Lord Kiza comment. "He's regained conscious while I was stitching his wound so I had to use a few herbs to keep him asleep. I advice that his grace should stay in bed for a while, give his wound time to rest. It was a deep cut so it will take time to heal but over all, he's in a good condition."Lord Kiza lied like he was telling the truth. There wan not a single stutter on hesitation in his speech. The words that fell from his lips were easy to believe, maybe it was because he was delivering the news like a professional, or maybe it was because it was easier to believe that to question if Barlion was really okay."Can we see him?" A small voice asked and I know it to be Cilvia's."Of course, You can My Lady." Lord Kiza answered. "But please, My Lords and Ladies, do not disturb the King. Rest is very pertinent to his recovery."I walked away from the

I rubbed my eyes with the tip of my finger, trying to chase the headache away.Arementa knelt before me, crying her eyes out, sobbing to the point that the empty chamber, the one Barlion had been staying in before we were moved to the King's quarter.Sir Hunder did not waste a single moment to go look for this woman. He took two of his most loyal knights, Sir Dominic and Sir Jusepea, leaving Sir Luther and Sir Marge.The head of the Knights had informed me that Sir Dominic and Sir Jusepea were not fit to be personal guards to anyone as they were too wild but, he also mentioned that they were loyal to a fault and would destroy any threat as if it was a little bug.Sir Marge on the other hand has not earn trust from Sir Hunder or from me. because Sir Hunder knows that Sir Marge is too loyal to a single person, the former queen Sity.I had wanted Arementa's visit to be kept a secret for now, which was why Sir Hunder chose to leave sir Marge out of it.Which is why we are in Barlion's pre

The last place I wanted to be before court was the tea gallery.I had wanted to spend the next hour going through the cases that will be presented before the court, but while I'm secretly playing the role of a King, I couldn't stop being the Queen either.So, it meant that I needed to be present at the weekly gathering I had with the women royals of the main castle.I looked down at the basket filled with Jewelries, and to some of the women's dislike, all entirely black.As soon as the older royals, except for Merry saw the colors, their faces wrinkled. But the younger royals looked excited for the change, especially Layla.She had dug in as soon as she sat down near me.Princess Victoria once again sat next to me and Cilvia and Layla followed. Lady Sity. and sister Emilia, Lady Cassandra and her daughter Julia sat further away from me, but I didn't mind. I was actually a bit surprised to see Lady Sity.The former Queen has not been seen since the day of the King's Visit. She never

I didn't waste a single second as I got off the bed.Closing the list of handmaids, I softly dropped it on the small table next to my side of the bed. I grabbed the tray of food and walked over to the dining table and covered it. Even though I am not close to eating half of it, I couldn't eat more.After sliding my shoes on, I grabbed a thick close and covered my nose and lips before I turned to sir Hunder.I was surprised to see Sir Shadow standing by the door. When ever I am with Sir Hunder or in the council chambers, I'd make sure to leave Sir Shadow with Barlion so he could keep him safe like he kept me safe during the attack at the King's visit.I followed Sir Hunder through the halls that leads to the dungeons beneath the Castle.The last time I was there, Barlion was showing me a best up Dorian, chained at the very last cell of the dungeons. I wondered if anyone ever found out about that.Sir Hunder remained silent on they way and I refrained from asking any questions. When we

I stood in front of the court hall doors, ready to enter.My mind briefly took me back to the council meeting I just had. Grumpy, might be the council members but none asked about Barlion. I had waited anxiously for one of them to bring up Lord Jeremy's finding but it seems, My husband's uncle kept his secret to himself.His absence at the council meeting did worry me because he didn't look like a man who took his responsibilities so easily.Sir Hunder had been my other worry. The head of knights barely spoke during the meeting, only voicing his concern as a council member when he had to.When the meeting came to an end and the council members started leaving, I had asked Sir Hunder of his finding but he only shook his head, telling me that it should wait until after court.Taking a deep breath, I pulled myself out of the memory and pushed to door open. When the doors led way in the the court hall, I almost took a step back at how overwhelming the hall looked.It was packed.The peo
