His Majesty’s Captive 35- Murder at the banquet
Fiona's pov My throat went dry, my fingers shook as I steadied them my palms against my waist in the manner that Maura had taught me.I tried to avert my gaze as I walked forward, ignoring the pull that came from our bond but the heat wasn't helping matters and while my heart tried to pull me towards him, I walked on in a straight line with the procession following me.We continued on our way into the dining hall. We were to stop before him and bow."Ah, your majesty" A man beckoned at him the moment we reached, "You have got a wondrous beauty for yourself. Your queen is lovely."I was stunned. I lifted my head, gazing at the man with wide eyes at the blunder he just uttered and I half hoped Octavius wouldn't throw a fit for the wrong assumption.But he didn't react. I turned to look in his direction to see that his gaze had been on me. Blue eyes watched me like a hawk with a stunned expression on his face."Ah, your majesty. You were too entranced gazing at your
His Majesty’s Captive 34-Matching with the King
Fiona's pov It was almost dusk when Lyanna dismissed me. I had stood for hours in the corner of her room watching her get prepared for the banquet and only after taunting me further did she let me go.I got out of her chambers, making my way out of the building with a heart clustered with dark emotions. I didn't even have time to sit in a corner and empty my teary eyes, I had to go and prepare for the banquet myself.My steps took me across the fields making way for the slave quarters. On getting closer, I could already see Maura waiting for me at the entrance.Her hand was raised when she caught sight of me, waving at me to hurry up and I quickened my pace."Good evening Maura." I greeted her the moment I got to her, "Sorry I am late.""No need to be sorry." Her tone was sad, "I know that woman must have kept you waiting. Quick, you need to head to the palace now, hurry up and bade your child goodbye then meet me in my chamber."I nodded at her words and made my
His Majesty’s Captive 33-The Mad Queen
Fiona's pov Maura had stated that there was nothing to be done when I asserted that Lyanna couldn't enslave me this way.There's nothing to be done, Fiona. The king has given his permission.Those were her words and I couldn't dispute them. I began to make my way towards the noble ladies abode. My feet were taking me down the corridors towards Lady Lyanna's chambers.With each step drawing me closer, I braced my mind for whatever was to be thrown at me.When I reached the entrance, I raised my hand, my fingers forming into fists as I tapped my knuckles against the door."Is that the new slave of mine?" Her voice sounded through the door, all light and happy, "Come on in."I took in a deep breath, squeezing my fingers and hesitating. Maura's words kept resurfacing in my mind, reminding me to be safe, telling me to remember my circumstances now.Do not be stubborn Fiona, you need to be strong for your child and Celia.You must address her accordingly, use my lady and
His Majesty’s Captive 32- A serving of guilt
Fiona's pov I couldn't look him in the eye. I felt undeserving of his hugs and kisses. When he threaded our fingers together, I wanted to pull away in disgust for myself and when he called me dear, I felt like falling to my knees to seek forgiveness.Jarek's brown eyes still bore warmth towards me, he had believed when I said my tears were from being overwhelmed by healing the king.He had told me how proud he was of me and how my skills would soon be acclaimed all around.I let him lead me to our favorite spot, my head was on his shoulder when he pulled me down and he placed his palm against my back comfortingly.The morning breeze blew gently, caressing my skin lightly just as Jarek touched me. The sun was rising steadily, spreading bright rays across the sky.It was a beautiful atmosphere but my heart was heavy with guilt and my tongue couldn't find any words nor were my eyes able to view the Beauty.He had tried requesting what exactly had happened in there but
His Majesty’s Captive 31-The sour morning
Octavius's pov"Your majesty." Eunuch Elric's calm voice broke the silence."Yes," I answered, inching my head to the side to take a look at him, "What is it?""I advise that you switch positions, your majesty." He gave a low head bow, "You have been like that for a while now."I should accept his advice and say yes. The strain in my hand was worse than the pain in my back but for all these hours I hadn't moved.I should say yes."No." I croaked through my parched throat.I could see the shocked expression on his face, he quickly blinked, making a low bow before retreating out of the room leaving me to my predicament.It wasn't exactly a predicament but I didn't know what to call it otherwise.It was somewhat a pleasant plight.The scent of jasmine almost tasted like sweetness, overriding the essence of melting lavender candles in the room. I could feel every inch of her softness against me. Her face was plastered against me, soft snores and slight murmurs with hair scattered all over
His Majesty’s Captive 30- Healing the king
Fiona's pov Jarek and I slowly got up from the grass. I brushed across my dress, wiping off the debris of dried leaves with my gaze still pinned on the approaching man. His steps hurried with each passing moment and soon he stood before us, one hand against the tree trunk as he tried to catch his breath."Eunuch Elric." Jarek greeted with a low bow, "What brings you here?""Is the King alright?" I inquired, "Is he?"I know both of them could recognize the worry in my voice and one would think that we weren't enemies."I need you to come see him, Fiona." The eunuch began to speak, "I think this is out of the physician's hands.""But I can't go in." I explained, "You were there when they barred my entrance and Lyanna instigated them against me.""That happened?" Jarek turned to me, a stunned expression on his face, "You never told me that.""Because it didn't matter." I winced at him, "I didn't want you to be worried.""I understand." He nodded, his gaze turning to Eunuch
