A CROWN FOR HER FREEDOM CHAPTER 26: UNSPOKEN FIRES
Tara got inside their chamber, fuming. Her face twisted with anger and jealousy, her body rigid with irritation.How could he even accept to talk to her dressed like that? she thought, clenching her jaw. And that snake Elira, how bold and selfish can one woman be? Trying to seduce a married man? Even though there was no love, he was still married to her.As she stepped into the bathroom, she muttered mockingly,“Prince Xavier, may I speak with you? Alone?.” Her face twisted in annoyance as she mimicked Elira’s breathy, desperate tone.She changed into a loose cotton nightdress, nothing flashy, just something comfortable. When she returned, Xavier was already inside the room. Their eyes met briefly before she scoffed, turned off the lamp, and slid into bed wordlessly, giving him nothing not even a goodnight.Xavier blinked in surprise.What’s with her? No goodnight? he thought, heading into the bathroom to refresh.Tara, meanwhile, shut her eyes tighter.Did he ignore me? Why isn’t he
A CROWN FOR HER FREEDOM CHAPTER 25: THE FLAMES OF SUCCESS
Far away in Vampiria, night cloaked the grand palace like a shadowy veil. In her chamber, Queen Gloria stood by the window, her eyes hard as she stared into the dark horizon. The news of them not being dead after the ambush she had planned angered her so much “They think they will be safe, never only my son Francis can be king,” she sneered, her voice a low hiss. “But I will see them fall before they ever set foot here in Vampiria.” At her feet knelt a slender woman cloaked in black Annette, the queen’s most loyal and deadly servant. “Annette,” Queen Gloria ordered, “send word to the rogues. I want them to strike them when they return from Greta, they should not reach Vampiria. I want no survivors… especially not her Annette bowed deeply. “It will be done, Your Majesty.” The queen’s lips curled into a cruel smile. “Good. Let them taste fear before they die.” ………………….. In Greta the morning light poured into the palace as Tara met King Asher in the royal gardens. She carried a s
A CROWN FOR HER FREEDOM CHAPTER 24: THE TRUTH REVEALED
The ball continued into the late hours, but for Tara, everything felt distant the music, the laughter, the glittering lights. She stayed close to Xavier, feeling his protective gaze on her as they mingled with nobles and allies. But she could sense his impatience; he wanted answers.When they finally returned to their room, Xavier shut the door, turning to face her. His eyes searched hers, his usual calm replaced by concern.“Tara… where were you? Tell me the truth.”Tara took a breath, steadying herself. “Let Sienna and Damian come in. They deserve to hear this too.”Xavier hesitated, then nodded. He opened the door and called for them quietly. Sienna entered first, curiosity and worry on her face. Damian followed, his expression serious.Tara gestured for them all to sit. She began to speak, her voice soft but firm. “ When I was going to the bathroom I met Mathew who wanted to harass me, and due to my anger I used my power on him and he collapsed. I headed down the corridor and met
A CROWN FOR HER FREEDOM CHAPTER 23: THE MAGICAL ENCOUNTER
The world blurred as Anisa’s magic carried them away, and when Tara opened her eyes, they were no longer in Greta. They stood beneath a sky streaked with silver clouds, the air filled with the scent of night-blooming flowers. Before them stretched a garden unlike any Tara had seen ancient trees twisted into arches, luminous blossoms glowing softly, and a stream that seemed to sing as it flowed.“Where are we?” Tara whispered, turning slowly, taking it all in.Anisa smiled gently. “The sacred garden of the Black Forest. A place hidden from all but the witches of our bloodline. I brought you here because you’re ready.”Tara’s heart raced. “What about Mathew? He saw my power... what if he tells everyone about it ”“Shhh, child.” Anisa touched her cheek lightly. “Hans, my loyal servant, handled it. Before we left, he wiped Mathew’s memory of tonight. The fool will remember nothing. His mind will fill the gap with some drunken stumble or foolish misstep. You are safe.”Tara let out a long
A CROWN FOR HER FREEDOM CHAPTER 22: THE BALL
After a quiet dinner, Xavier and King Asher met in the king’s study. The room smelled faintly of cedar and ink, its walls lined with books and old maps.Xavier kept his tone measured. “There is one matter my wife requested I bring to your attention. Princess Tara has a business, she crafts scented candles. She hoped to trade here, with your permission.”Asher raised a brow, curious. “scented candles? What type of candles are those? ”“ Candles which gives out scent when lit, some have flower scents and other herbal scents ” Xavier explained with surprising ease, almost like a merchant himself “ A princess with a merchant’s ambition. That’s rare.” Asher was amused “They are of excellent quality,” Xavier added, surprising even himself with the small note of pride in his voice. He knew because he secretly asked one of the staff to bring him the candle so he tried.Asher smirked slightly. “If you are very sure of her and if it pleases her, she may trade freely within Greta. I admire a
A CROWN FOR HER FREEDOM CHAPTER 21: LUNCHEON
“ How have you been? Don't you miss home ” Mathew asked while staring at her with a creepy lookTara was disgusted by the man Infront of her, the step brother who has been obsessed with her for years. “ I am doing great as you can see, ” Tara decided to skip the second question “ Prince Xavier, has Princess Tara cause you any problems? Well I am asking because her mother was convicted of treason and I hope my young sister has not inherited any treason behaviour from her ” Flora spoke like someone who's worried but mockery was heard in her voice, the other gasped at the revelation of Tara's mother being a traitor.“ I believe it's rude to speak of my sister in law's mother in that manner, regardless of what she did. Where I come from we don't speak ill of the dead people, I guess Dersia lacks manners ” Sienna defended and reprimanded Flora, she was tired of everyone trying to irritate Tara.The table fell silent, stunned by Sienna’s boldness. Even Asher arched a brow, amused by the un
