The Alpha King’s Reborn Queen Chapter 81
SERENAThe girl in lavender who counted her rivals. The beautiful one with the cousins. The small fair girl in pink, Lady Isolde, who flinches and then looks, a little, relieved. Lady Elowen Pryce. Two more whose answers told me what I needed. Lady Odette Marwick, last, who curtsies with the same dimple, the same perfect grace, but the rage in her eyes is unmistakable. I sneer, unfortunately for her, she can do nothing to me. Eight ladies are disqualified in this round."I'm grateful to each of you for coming. You've been honest, and I respect that. The palace isn't for everyone, and there's no shame in it. Go home. Find someone who deserves you. The palace will compensate you each with generous gifts and a sizeable dowry." I nod to the Rosalyn.“Rosalyn.”“Your Majesty?” She steps forward."See that each lady is given a piece of jewellery and ten yards of silk from my own stores before she leaves."They curtsy and file out, some with their chins high, some with their heads bowed, a f
The Alpha King’s Reborn Queen Chapter 80
SERENAI remember the story I heard in the fifth year of my marriage.Lady Odette had met a young man outside a bookstore and fallen in love with him at first sight. That young man was Edric Hallam, the son of a minor official stationed in Lindenfold, about a town an hour's ride from the capital. Unfortunately for Lady Odette, the young man happened to be married already and his wife had even just recently given birth to their son.Lady Odette had then demanded that the man divorce his wife and send both she and the child away- promising that if he agreed and married her, her father would get him a high-paying job as an official in the capital. But Edric was well-known to have pursued his wife for five full years before he was able to marry her. He was a devoted husband who truly loved his wife and child so he humbly refused Lady Odette’s offer.But who knew Lady Odette would be so vindictive. She sent her family’s guards to ambush the carriage carrying Edric’s wife and child on the r
The Alpha King’s Reborn Queen Chapter 79
SERENA It's a narrow band of gold, worked into a row of upswept points like the ridge of a wolf's back, with a small diamond set at the tip of each one, and in the middlemost point sits a sapphire the size of a quail's egg, so deep a blue it looks black until the light hits it. The crown is heavy and presses against my forehead- the symbol of ultimate authority and power. Today I want every woman to understand that just because I am giving her the opportunity to enter the palace, it does not mean that they can challenge my authority. The head of the Department stands to my left with his hands clasped in front of him, rubbing his thumb over his knuckle. He hasn't slept. "How many?" I ask. "Eighteen ladies, Your Majesty." He lowers his voice. "Eighteen passed the records check and the physician's examination this morning. A few more registered but were turned away over irregularities in their family papers." Eighteen. I nod. For such short notice, that's enough. "Bring them in."

SERENAHe's writing fast now, but his eyes keep flicking up to my face. "And when does Your Majesty wish it to begin?""In two days."The quill stops again."Two days?" His voice cracks on it. "Your Majesty, forgive me. A Selection normally takes... the ladies need time to prepare. Gowns, escorts, travel arrangements. The physicians must schedule the examinations, and the record checks alone would take...""That's why only the nearby families are getting the notice," I say. "They don't need to travel far. They can prepare in two days if they want to badly enough. The physicians can examine them on the day, and so can the matrons. You'll have every clerk in the Department on the record checks tonight.""But, Your Majesty...""It's an emergency," I say it flatly, and I watch him swallow whatever he was going to say next. "The King refuses to have the current Companions serve him, and the King cannot be without. Furthermore, the Queen Dowager is most concerned about the matter of the hei

SERENAThe Blackwood and Parker clans and armies are about equal in size. However, the Parkers are wealthier and have more property. But the same size doesn’t mean the same quality. Blackwood soldiers are stronger and fight better, with the Parkers being a notch below.However, with the two clans being so similar, it’s hard for people not to make comparisons between them.People always compare the two generations. It happened between my father and Parker, who are the same age and began their careers in the same year. My father became a General. Parker is still a Lieutenant General, and he will never be anything else.That kind of thing eats at a man. First place never thinks about second place, because it has no reason to resent anyone. Second place, however, spends forty years glaring up at first through gritted teeth. Parker has always seen my father as his rival, while my father has never seen him as more than a nuisance.Then came the children: Parker’s sons were no comfort to him
The Alpha King’s Reborn Queen Chapter 76
SERENAIt’s been three years already and I haven’t conceived yet. She hopes I’m truly barren. That way, she’d pick herself a new daughter-in-law, someone easier to control and who didn’t come with a father like mine.I look down and sneer. You wish!This crown is mine. The power is mine. Every inch of influence I gather will stay in my hands and I will ensure it grows. I will not let anyone take it from me. Who says a marriage must be held together by love? Love is what screws you over. Position you can count. Interest you can measure. Everyone takes what they need, and nobody bleeds for it. At least those things don’t turn on you.She tries to smile. It takes her two attempts before she is finally able to hold, a thin and stiff one. "A..." She clears her throat and starts again. "A very clever thought, Serena. I hadn't expected you to see so far ahead.""I had a long time to think, Mother.""So I see." She dabs her lips with a handkerchief, and folds it in her lap with great care. Wh
