CARLISLE

I took her back downstairs so that we could have breakfast.

Now that she was realizing her role as Queen, I wanted to reveal the Kingdom to her little by little.

When we were seated, the maids brought the food and I could see that she wasn't eating.

“Elinna, snap out of it. That's just the beginning. The secrets of this kingdom, will overwhelm you but you have to be strong. There's a lot you still need to know but we'll take it slow. I don't want to overwhelm you.”

I didn't expect her next question.

“Why?”

I didn't know what to answer to that so I didn't bother looking up at her.

“Is it becaue of what it did to you? I know that you were exposed to quickly, I know that you saw a lot of things and you had to do things that went against everything you believed in. And that's why it seems like you don't have a heart, like you're an empty devil.”

Her soft hand covered mine that rested on the table.

    CARLISLE I took her to the Room of Kings. It had been named that because it held he portrait of every monarch that had ever ruled. Due to the sexualistic nature of the laws of this land, this room only held the pictures of the Kings. Records of the Queens could be seen in books. But during my father's reign, he had painted my mother and hung up her picture in the main house. Since the laws prevented her from being out except needed, he wanted her to be seen in another way. My father loved my mother. He might have been a hard man, a disciplinarian at best but I could see that his soft spot started with my mother. But he didn't like to show it because for some reason, he felt that love was weakness. “All these men are my ancestors, passing the crown down to each other until…my father.”I stopped in front of my father's portrait and stared up at it, trying to recapture his face in my memories. On this day, I'd been watching him from my window while this portrait was being painted

    ELINNAWhatever epidemic that was going on that made the noise outside to pick up, needed to stop. It had woken me up and it was keeping me from falling back asleep. I didn't know why in the world they couldn't just work in peace. Not being able to call back asleep, I dragged my tired body from the bed and walked outside, draping my robe over me to tell them to please keep it down. When I opened the door, my eyes weren't even open yet because it was too damn bright. “Good morning, My Queen.” I took a deep breath, trying to be as nice as possible. “Its not a good morning. Please, keep it down, I'm trying so hard to sleep. If you can't keep it down, skip this floor and go to the next. When I'm awake, you can go crazy. Is that good enough?”I had to force my eyes open so they don't think that they were talking to a crazy person. The maid in front of me curtsied. “My apologies, My Queen. It’s just that the King is in the house and he doesn't like it when we're doing chores and he

    CARLISLE I didn't want to bother myself with checking in on the kid. I believe that why his nanny was there for or whoever that lady was. But I just couldn't help it. I kept looking over my shoulder to see if he was still sleeping or if there were any scratches on his body so I could go back there and have a reason to kill Roman. When the car finally pulled into the compound, I could feel that Carlsile’s body was beginning to get tired so I stayed in the car while Gomez opened the door for them. “Thank you so much, I don't know what I would have done without you.”Gomez placed his hand on her shoulder, rubbing it gently. “It’s fine. But please be careful. Don't be too trusting of anyone. And one last thing, Helen. Elinna must not know about what happened.”From the way Helen was acting, she didn't seem like someone who had been kidnapped. She seemed rather calm. But what do I know about being kidnapped? Things might have changed since the last time. “Okay so what exactly do I te

    CARLISLEThere was a man on his way down the stairs when we entered the house and he looked like he was in a hurry. “Carlisle, what kind of madness is this? Coming to my house at this hour, for what? Have you finally lost it?” I would guess that this is the Roman that Carlisle was talking about. I turned around to look at Gomez to make sure that I was right. When he finally gave me a nod, I turned back to the man before me. “I’m sorry, did you and Carlisle have a meeting time? My bad, I was not informed. Maybe I'm should go and come back.” I began to walk away but when I thought about how his men almost killed me outside, I decided against it.“If you do things like this again, I'll make sure you never see your son.” That was the icing on the cake. I turned back to him with a smile. “You know, Carlisle and I actually made a deal and he wanted me to help him get back his son and that's what I'm here to do. So whatever business that you have J with him, please extend it till I l

    CARLISLE. As we sat in the car on our way back to the City, I couldn't help but stick my head out and inhale the clean and fresh night breeze. It must have been very late because there were barely any cars on the road. Whatever the time was, it was just right. “What about Elinna?” Gomez didn't look back. “She’s at the house. I would presume she is sleeping by now.”Of course, she would be sleeping by now. It's better she was preoccupied with something else. All she would do is stand in my way. “Gomez, you know what's funny? She sdoung everything she cannot get rid of me but here is Carlisle…begging for my help. How sad.”The conflict of interest was just too jarring. I wonder how she would feel if she finds out that Carlisle came to ask for my help when she wasn't home. Oh, she would be so mad. But whoever this person was that took Carlisle's son, he must have been very stupid. Oh well, thier business has nothing to do with me. All I'm there to do is retrieve the boy and take

    ELINNA “I don't know how things have been done around here. But id gladly tell you that I'm in charge now and that means that I can do what the hell I want. I mean, I do have the seal now and all that. You know, I always wondered why you all hated women so much and wanted nothing good for me.”I was shocked when I went through the Kingdom's rules concerning Councilmen and I had to confirm it from Gomez. That's why he brought me this file. It was a background check on all of them in the King's court. Personally, I think the rules concerning the councilmen were ridiculous but seeing how they were behaving, it suited them just right. “You are not allowed to have wives. In order to become Councilmen, you must not have sexual relations with a woman for the rest of your lies and that means, no wives or children. That is the saddest thing I've ever heard. But is it enough to hate women and make their lives miserable just because yours is?” The shock on their faces matched that of the bl

    ELINNA The maids helped me get ready. “The King has asked that you have the meeting away from here. In order to avoid…you know what. You can have the meeting in the garden, just like the last time.”That was fine. Whether here or anywhere else, they'd say what they wanted to do. It didn't matter to me. Since it wasn't the first time, it didn't seem so weird when the maids helped me dress up. Gomez came in when I'd worn my gown. “Are you going to be there like the last time?” He shook his head, not even looking at me. “I have something to do. But you have to tell them what the King has decided. No matter what they say, let them know that it has already been done. I believe in you.”Dealing with those men has never been an issue. The more I see them, the easier it gets to deal with each and everyone of them respectively. He stretched a file to me. “This is what you asked for. Take your time reading it before the meeting. You're going to need what's in there.”I nodded at him an

    ELINNA I thought he had sent Gomez after me to stop me from going ahead with what we had just talked about. But no, he sent Gomez to tell the guards to get the blacksmith and bring him to the house. “Gomez, that won't be necessary.. I'll go to him. It's not a big deal.”He nodded, stepping out of the way for me to go to the car. As much as it seemed like a big deal, I didn't seem happy. Maybe it was because I had just witnessed Carlisle carving himself up like a thanksgiving chicken or because I knew I was about to be in for it with those archaic men. Throughout the car ride, my mind wandered all over the place but was not focused on anything in particular. The door suddenly opened. “My Queen, we're here.” I looked around me. We were in the pack, the people going about their daily lives. This was the first time I had been in the pack in a very long time. Things hadn't changed much. Well, except the fact that I had the entire street staring directly at me. I didn't blame t
