The Impact of Her (ALL SEASONS) ~ Chapter Fifteen - Season II ~
After a bit of riding, I finally arrived at the hills. I immediately started my search for Laura. And after a bit of time, I finally found her. She was on top of a hill, under a tree. Leo peacefully grazed grass right in front of her. I slowly made my way towards her. And when I arrived behind her, I got off of Lady and walked up to her. She didn’t say anything or moved a muscle. She kept her eyes out to the big, open field before us. I already sat down beside her but she continued to act as if I wasn’t there. Her cheeks were damp, clear evidence that she had been crying. Her eyes were puffy and she quietly sniffled in an attempt to hide it from me. “Laura,” I spoke with caution after a deep breath. She turned her head to the side, wiping her face. “What are you doing here?” she asked. I cleared my throat as I readjusted my posture. “I figured that you headed here after that… disastrous scene in our stables,” I replied as she turned back to the side. “Mallory may be looking for

I groaned as I heard a voice that I didn’t want to hear for the rest of the night. “What is it that you want, Mallory?” I asked as I approached Lady. “How can you end our relationship like that?!” she ranted as she walked up to me. She continued, “We had a deal, Robert. And now, all of a sudden, you ended it for no reason?!” I sighed before I turned to face her. “It’s for your own good, Mallory.” “I don’t care what you think is good for me!” she threw her hands in the air, like a child who was upset because she didn’t get her way. She grabbed hold of my arms and added, “All I want is you.” Removing her hands, I replied, “I don’t want you the same way that you want me. From the very beginning, the relationship that we had was doomed to harm us. She shook her head as I explained away, clearly not wanting to accept my words. I continued, “It’s better to end it now than to hurt somebody else if we proceed with it.” I grabbed my waterskin and walked back inside the castle. I didn’t

When I turned to my corridor, Gonzalo was already waiting at the door. “Your dinner is already inside, Your Highness,” Gonzalo bowed as I reached him. “Thank you, Gonzalo,” I nodded as I opened my door. “Is there anything else that I can help you with, young prince,” he asked as I stepped inside. “There is nothing else for me, Gonzalo. But, I would like for you to bring a glass of water for my sister. Her handmaidens are nowhere to be seen and she needs it right away,” I replied. “As you wish, Your Highness,” he bowed. I continued, “Also, talk to the handmaidens about this matter. It’s a rule in this castle that at least two servants are to accompany a monarch at night. Just because you are allowed to do other tasks at night, that doesn’t mean that they get to the same.” “Yes, Your Highness. I will speak to them first thing in the morning,” Gonzalo replied, bowing once again. Slowly, I closed my door and headed to my writing desk. My food was already there but something else ca

‘I opened my eyes and was shocked. ‘I was sitting under a tree, on top of a hill. It was a quiet and peaceful environment. The birds sang and the wind blew ever so gently. There was nothing but grass, stretching as far as the eyes could see. Tall trees stood everywhere. Silhouettes of mountains could be seen from far away. ‘But, why was I here? What was I doing here? ‘Suddenly, faint, muffled voices came from afar and it was headed to where I was. I quickly stood up and climbed up the tree, going higher as I possibly could. And when there were no branches left to climb, I sat down and kept quiet. ‘A deep man’s voice asked, “Are you enjoying yourself, son?” ‘A child’s voice squealed happily, “Yes, Father. This is the best day I have ever had!” ‘The laughter of children continued as footsteps came closer to the tree. The father and his son were then joined by two more people. An adult woman, who seemed to be his wife. There was also a little girl, who was, perhaps, their daughter

“Is it a custom in your kingdom to make your guests wait for an incredibly long time?” A disappointed voice came from the main hall as I rushed down to Queen Marta. “Your Majesty,” I spoke as I walked down the stairs with my hands behind my back. “Ugh! Finally!” she sighed, closing her fan as she walked towards me whilst our guards a death stare. “I supposed that time runs rather slower here than what’s in the norm,” she snarked. “I do apologise for the delay, Your Majesty. We’re currently in the middle of an emergency–” “Emergency or not, you and your people should value the worth of time! You and your mother should’ve greeted me by the door in the same manner that I did for you when you came to our kingdom,” she complained. She continued with, “I didn’t expect a grandiose welcome. But the least that you can do for me is a warm and friendly hello. But what happened? I endured such a long journey, just to be greeted by no one.” She added, “This meeting must be dealt with as soon

Arriving at the bakery, I peeked through the window to see if Laura was inside. However, the glass was too foggy and I couldn’t see through it. I then entered the bakery and looked around. But to my dismay, she was nowhere to be found. I then looked for Grandpa Ben but even he was nowhere in sight. And I wasn’t about to ask Ronald so I figured it was better to ask someone else. I walked over to another worker and asked, “Excuse me, madam?” She was quick to turn around and smiled. “Good day to you, sir. What can I help you with?” “I was wondering if Grandpa Ben or Laura arrived today,” I said. “My apologies, sir, but Grandpa Ben left an hour ago. He is yet to return. I’m not sure when he will be back but I presume he’ll be here later,” she replied. “What about Laura?” I asked. “Laura hasn't been here since this morning. We’re not sure why but it’s either she accompanied Grandpa Ben or she is ill,” she explained. “Is there anything else that I can help you with? Perhaps, you have

“Robert! Elizabeth!” James shouted as he stood from his chair. He walked over to us and continued, “What did I tell you about knocking before entering?” “What did we say about interfering with the designs of our rooms without our permission?!” I snapped back as I walked over to them. “I don’t think your children are entirely concerned about their mother’s well-being, James,” Bethilda entered the conversation, standing behind him. She continued, “These changes are vital for the recovery of the queen.” “I suggest that you close your mouth before I shove a shoe in it!” Elizabeth threatened, grabbing her shoe in the process. Gonzalo quickly held her back. Elizabeth wasn’t in her forgiving mode. “Don’t you dare disrespect your aunt in such a manner!” James yelled at Elizabeth. “And you have no right to shout at Elizabeth when we are the ones who are being aggravated!” I stood in front of Elizabeth. “This woman,” I pointed at Bethilda, “This lady that we have never seen before has the

“Should I become a horse, will you treat me just the same?” “Mallory, I’m not in the mood to have another argument with you,” I said as I kept my focus on Lady. I added, “I have too much in my mind right now. I have too much in my life right now. I can’t afford to waste time on another debate with you.” “Is it because of Laura?” she asked as her footsteps slowly approached me. I remained silent and proceeded with what I was doing. She was now aware of my feelings for Laura. But that didn’t mean that I owed her any explanation. “It’s Laura, isn’t it?” she repeated as she stood beside me. “Why does it matter?” I asked, irritated. I faced her and continued, “What is it to you? If I admit that it’s because of her, what will you do?” “That day when I introduced you both to one another, I saw the stares you shared,” she started. I returned to Lady as she continued, “I saw the horror in your eyes and the pain in hers. I’m not that stupid to allow that to go unnoticed.” I walked towards
