CHAPTER TEN
Arthur
I was nervous; we all were.
Callisto had to be poisoned on her wedding day though I wondered who could have poisoned her.
Her personality was a guarantee for a lot of enemies yet I couldn't wrap my head around anyone who would have chosen her wedding to ride of her.
The doctor came out as we all stood side by side. My brother, August approached him with a look of desperation I have not seen in a long time.
"Is she okay?" August asked as the doctor nodded.
"She'll live. Do not fret, her blood type resists the ghost eye poison. He just needs a lot of rest." The doctor informed us.
"Can we see her?" August asked.
"Well she is your wife so I grant only you permission. She is extremely exhausted so she needs her rest. Excuse me your majesties." The doctor instructed before he left with heavy steps.
"Thank you all for waiting with me. If Callisto is awake, I will speak of each of you to her." A

CallistoArthur was making a big issue over the persecution of two humans who were very much dispensable.He was a king material but he was still an emotionally deprived child much like August who clothed his decently.To rule, a few blood must be shed. I cannot think of any king whose reign, the blood of innocents and guilty wasn't shed but I was patient.I was patient but I wouldn't let Arthur's protest stop me in anyway.I hated being kept in suspense. I desired to know what was happening but because some man with a paper showing he could play doctor, I was kept away to rest.I needed to see August, Gwen needed to see me."Humans are really becoming too dependant these days." I whispered as I nibbed on my finger.The door opened quietly and my surprise was to see father-in-law making his ever first private appearance to me.My hand went underneath my pillow, touching the knife I kept hi

I felt great, laying in the sheets, waking up to the handsome face of my husband.August finally had time for me. He was finally here with me and not pleading for a simple man's life.I smiled as I laid my head on his chest, rubbing his chest as he moaned in pain."Good morning my darling husband." I greeted before I placed a chaste kiss on his lips."Good morning Callisto." August moaned as he slowly sat up."What happened?" He asked as I straddled his body, wrapping my arms around his neck."Something wonderful happened. We consummated. Do you not remember?" I asked as he shook his head."I remember." He said as his eyes went to the marks his mouth had gifted me with.His face broke to a stoic expression as hw slowly raised his hand as though touching the scars would break my very existence."Does it hurt?" He asked as I shook my head."No. I love it when you hold me like this. Leaving marks on my skin to remind

Something interesting had happened. Something that had the whole palace in utter panic.The king was murdered last night.The shock I was to wake up in the arms of my husband and hear that the king was murdered.August swore he had no hand in it and I believed him but who else wanted the king dead except I; well to the best of my knowledge.I ran quickly to catch up with the meeting but I was temporary delayed by some personal matters.I pushed the doors and a questionable silence broke as all eyes went on me before I walked confidently to my husband's side.I placed a chaste kiss on his cheeks before I sat down at the round table with members of the council as well."As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted..." Father paused as his eyes went towards me while I glared at him. "The king was poisoned by a suspicious woman who fled his corners before he was found. The problem is no one knows where she has gone.""Do you have any idea who she is?" Adriana asked as Lord Baron's, a me

Waking up with August by my side was an affair I looked up to every morning. Marriage was a wonderful thing once the partners started to see the arrangement outside a prison. It was an adventure where choices and attitude determined the outcome.August kissed my forehead as I moaned softly, my eyes slowly opened to the blinding light before staring at the smiling face of the man I was married to.“Good morning my love.” August greeted as I slowly rose.I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his lips before we stared into each other’s eyes.“Good morning sunshine.” I replied before he kissed my neck and tickled me as I giggled.“August stop tickling me, I’m awake.” I laughed and caught his hands before he pouted.“Aww, you’re no fun.”

I wanted to see Arthur, I wanted to know if he was alright but he was under house arrest and the only time we saw was for meals and when they are escorting him.Luckily Alexander and I has been buying time for the case since the evidence to convict Arthur is small but solid.Apparently Arthur had slept with the whore who had his father killed a night before his father’s death. His alibi wasn’t strong enough with barely witnesses or anyone bold enough to defend him.They also claim that they found the prostitute but she had killed herself before they could locate her with nothing but a half written to Arthur saying she did it for him.It was a tough nut to crack especially since Arthur had slept with her. I was infuriated with the idea but his punishment for that can come after we have dealt with the bigger picture…finding a new scapegoat.

The war against Leone was grave. Arthur barely had time to rest and I had to do my best to support him. Our joy had been we immediately reacted to the attack so that they wouldn’t conquer the outer walls as they were three walls that Westoros is made of.The ring which is where the royals and nobles stay, the middle wall was usually those in the middle class who had a little influence or authority in the system and the outer walls where the lower breed stays.Westoros is a large country blessed in economics and agriculture so food wouldn’t be too hard to replace so far as they haven’t reached for the middle walls so that was our top priority to protect.The issue with Arthur’s case was hopefully going to be dismissed by the end of the day and since Alfred knows I am much of a threat to him and his supporters, he will possibly look for anything to rid of me.

Everyone was putting in a lot of strength with the war at hand.With what had happened with Alfred, everyone was now cautious around each other and since I broke down in tears, August didn’t have me involved in court issues.I was forced to rest until I felt better and August did everything to make me happy because he felt that I was depressed and upset.I sighed as I closed the book before I stood up and opened the doors to the balcony.The sight of people running, whispers here and there, insecurity everywhere had me a little restless before I decided to take my presence to the palace royal garden.I bit down on some biscuits as I read a classic in the only place that had my mind at peace.The sound of footsteps heading towards me, interrupted as I looked up and dropped the sweets.&ld

“What is your favorite color my love?” August asked me as I hummed in thought.“I don’t know, white?” I responded with uncertainty as August laughed.“For someone intelligent, you are awfully pessimistic.” August said as I lowered my head.He laid his head on my thigh before I arched a brow and closed the book I was reading.“Are you implying your optimistic?” I asked as he chuckled.“Very; that is why they say opposite attracts.”“More like dumb needs smart.” I joked as August pouted.“All work without play makes jack a dull boy.”“Fun without limits leaves you a happy smile and broken bones.”
