Chapter: A Better Life"Your grace?"The knock on the door disrupted Rebecca's sleep. She blearily opened her eyes and sluggishly sat up. She covered her mouth as she yawned. She removed the duvet and stood on her feet. She walked towards the door. Rebecca pulled the door open and saw Zita."Zita, you-.""I'm sorry to wake you, Duchess but you've visitors. They are waiting for you in the living room." Zita said quickly, feeling edgy."Visitors?" Rebecca asked doubtfully.Zita replied in a nod. Rebecca looked away from the door and glanced at the cot. Catherine was still asleep."You..." She said as she faced Zita,"...look after the Lady while I go and meet the visitors.""Okay, Your grace. But whatever that happens, please don't leave." Zita said coaxingly.Rebecca became perplexed. She wanted to ask more questions but refrained from doing so. She left the room and climbed down the stairs. Halfway down, she saw everyone, asides the stewards and the maid, in the li

Chapter: Prove ItCrystal arranged the clean plates in the cabinet and closed it. She scanned the kitchen and was pleased with the way it was neat and tidy. Christian entered the kitchen through the back door and was stunned."Is it my kitchen or did I enter the wrong house?" He asked her, closing the door behind him."It is yours." She replied cheerily.Christian hummed as he walked towards her. He hugged her from behind and pecked her cheeks."That's thanks to you." He said sweetly.Crystal giggled. Her cheeks were slightly red."At last mon chou, I have to sadly let you leave today." He said playfully."I would've love to spend the night here but your aunt wants me to help with the cooking for the party. You will come, won't you?" She asked him as she broke the hug. She faced him."I will try but there is no guarantee I would. Let's-." The knock on the door interrupted his conversation."I guess someone is at the door." He said, looking at the door leading

Chapter: Whose Side Are You On?The carriage pulled over at the entrance of the castle. The horseman got down and opened it for Rebecca. Rebecca smiled at him faintly and got out while carrying Catherine. She glanced at the castle and then her daughter. She heaved and walked to the door.The guard at the entrance pulled it open for her. Rebecca, unused to such treatment, entered inside. She walked through the corridor and arrived at the throne room. She saw the maids standing on a queue. They curtsied in front of her."Was this really necessary?" She said inwardly."You decided to come." Rebecca turned to her side and saw Violet. Her facial expression wasn't welcoming and her tone sounded a bit harsh. Rebecca swallowed nervously and glanced at Catherine, who babbled as she tried to pull her mother's curly hair."Your Majesty." She acknowledged her and curtsied.Violet rolled her eyes and looked at her sternly."You can quit the good girl act. I have already learnt about your affair wit

Chapter: Leave Williams Violet pulled the door open and entered the room. She let out a sigh as she closed the door behind her. She walked towards the bed and sat down on it. She turned to her side and looked through the slightly opened window.The clouds moved towards the direction the wind blew, partially overshadowing the moon. She had her gaze at it and barely the door creak open. George saw her and smiled. He walked towards her. He glanced at the moon."It's bright tonight." He said plainly.Violet was startled when she heard him. "Your Majesty," She stammered."Did I startled you?" He asked her.Violet replied in a nod. George hummed and sat down beside her. He caressed her arm, slowly touching her face. He leant closer, kissing her neck."George, I'm not interested." She declined softly.George paused and furrowed his brow confusingly. He looked at her. Violet flashed a glance at him and looked away when their eyes met."This is the first time you've turned me do

Chapter: Your Choice Rebecca bit her lips nervously. Zita stood there, confused on what was going on. She glanced at the two-Rebecca and George-and waited for either one of them to shed light to what was said. "What do you mean daughter?" Rebecca stammered."The one you had. I still can't believe you would hide such a news from me." George said coldly."I clearly don't know what you are talking about." Rebecca denied, without making eye contact. "Don't play dumb, Becky. The truth is quite evident in this case." George said frigidly. "What's going on here?"George turned to his side when he recognized the voice. Fiona as well as her companion, Tracey, entered the living room. "Your Majesty," Fiona said airily, surprised to see her brother. She curtsied in front of him."Oh, Your Majesty! It's a pleasure to see you again." Tracey said happily."I don't feel the same." George said bluntly. He diverted his attention to Rebecca."If you keep stalling, I'll go and g

Chapter: My Daughter A carriage pulled over at Drill Hall and Roy got out. He adjusted his jacket and nodded at the man at the door. He walked in and was stunned by the decorations as well as the population in there. The hall was enormous and spacious. He walked further, scanning different nobles and royals he could identify."Mrs April was right. They do treat it as a festival. Just look at how many are in attendance. So many wealthy men." He said to himself as he continued walking,"Which of these men did Rebecca get involved with?"Roy stopped and thought about his plan."If I go to them one by one inquiring about that maid, they were will either think I'm crazy or I'm a bandit." Roy turned towards the door and caught a glimpse of someone. He gazed at the person as he walked through the door."Is that Duke Williams?" He said doubtfully.Williams entered the hall, being nonchalant about the event. He had a blank facial expression, making it difficult to tell if he was happ

Chapter: Final Battle 2The blades clinked and arrows flew in the air. The groans of men who were injured were loud and often heard at an interval. The rain drenched most of the knights, who were still alive and injured, and those who were dead and laid in the pool of their own blood. The rain quenched most of the fire ignited during the war. George drew his sword and slain the enemy in front of him. The man groaned and grimaced in pain. He coughed out blood and fell flat on his face. George watched him airily and smiled at his achievements. "Your Majesty, watch out!" A knight said loudly. He was injured and laid on the ground. Before George could turned his head round, part of his face was splattered with blood. Williams had killed the man before he attacked George. The man fell down. Williams looked at the dead man blankly. George glanced at the man and then, Williams. "Thank you!" Williams hummed. He scanned the field from where he stood. Most of the knights and opponents lay dead on the ground. Th

Chapter: Final Battle 1George climbed down the stairs, holding a sword. He slid it into a sheath and wore the strap across his body. "Your Majesty." Roy said and bowed. George hummed as he got to the landing. He surveyed the room. "How is Violet?" "Her Majesty is in her room. She has been awfully silent these days. She is probably missing the captive." Roy said candidly. George rolled his eyes and shook his head annoyingly. "I careless about how she feels. She made her choice." "But Your Majesty, what will happen to the captive?" Roy inquired. "He will be publicly executed when I return from war. He will serve as a spare goat for others." George said plainly. "And Her Majesty?" Roy followed up. "Violet still retains her position as the queen but not as my wife. Clearly, I can't sleep on the same bed with someone as shameless as her. Of all the men in the village, it had to be that potter." George said bluntly, "Once I come back from this war, I'll take my daughter from Rebecca. I careless if sh

Chapter: It’s OverHilda walked through the crowd and arrived at a stand. She kept her basket on the ground. "Good day, Mrs Hilda!" The greengrocer said, wearing a smile. "Good day! Um, do you have some tomatoes?" Hilda asked her. "No. I just sold the last one. But I do have some bell peppers." The greengrocer suggested. "I've already bell peppers at home." Hilda declined. "Oh! Okay. Is there anything else you need?" The greengrocer asked. "No. That will be all." Hilda replied calmly. The greengrocer replied in a nod and stacked some cauliflowers against each other. "That reminds me." The greengrocer said plainly, "There is this news going round the village. I don't know if you have heard it." "Heard what?" Hilda asked curiously. "I heard that the potter has been arrested. He was caught sleeping with the Queen." The greengrocer said. Hilda was stunned at the news. The greengrocer noticed the look on her face and touched her. "Are you okay, Mrs Hilda?" Hilda looked at her and remembered wh

Chapter: Rare GemGeorge returned to the castle, along with his wife and his captive. Crystal stood at the side and looked at them. George let go of Violet forcefully, causing her to fall on the floor. "I've always respected you and given you all that you had requested. I often praise you among the others out there yet you went ahead and betrayed me." George said angrily. "You've never loved her. So don't try to act to be innocent either." Christian shot back, pissed by the way he threw Violet. George walked towards him. The guards held Christian tightly so that he wouldn't break free. George had his hand on his neck and tightened his grip round it. "Men like you don't deserve to see the sun the next day. I should have known you were up to something." "Please, stop Your Majesty! You'll kill him." Crystal pleaded. George glanced at her, then his wife. He sniggered and let go of Christian. "Now I get it." He said as he walked round his captive, "You decided to play games with both women and en

Chapter: Caught In The Act"Me? Who would want to-?" Williams looked at her sternly, indirectly answering her questions. Rebecca observed and that's when she got it. "Your ex-girlfriend." She muttered. "The only reason I had accepted to be in a relationship with Fiona was to get back at my mother. I wanted her to learn that life isn't about social status and wealth. There is more to it. But somehow, I failed." He replied candidly. He turned to his side and glanced through the open window. Rebecca noticed the slight change in his facial expression and became curious. She sat down closer to him and gently held his hand. Williams felt the touch and looked at her. She smiled at him wryly. "You don't have to feel pity for her. I guess she deserves it." He said plainly. "Sadly, I do. Will, she is still your mother. Even though she has been the most obstacle in our marriage, that doesn't change the fact. She is still human and bound to make mistakes." She said coaxingly. Williams turned deaf to her reply. He av

Chapter: The Wrong BaitThe horseman pulled the carriage over beside the verandah. He got down and held the door open for the couple. Catherine was awake and played with Williams. He held her in his arms. He flashed a glance at the open door and looked at his wife. Rebecca hung her head and had a blank facial expression. "Leave us for a minute." Williams said to the horseman. The horseman replied in a nod and left the carriage. He stood not today from the carriage. Rebecca glanced through the opened door. Williams kept Catherine close to her mother. She playfully pulled one of her curly strands. It got Rebecca's attention. She turned to her side and smiled at her daughter. Catherine reciprocated and giggled. She stretched out her arms and her mother carried her. "You're still upset with what your father had said?" He said plainly. Rebecca shook her head, avoiding eye contact. "From what I had learnt from Christian, you're a bad liar. You're facial expression gave you away." He pointed out, "You do
