The Impact of Her (ALL SEASONS) ~ Chapter Twenty - Season II ~
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
The Impact of Her (ALL SEASONS) ~ Chapter Twenty-Three - Season II ~
It was late in the afternoon. With everything that has happened, my mind struggled to sort everything. It was exhausting. I already walked around the garden numerous times. I was trying to avoid thinking about everything. I wanted to rest my mind, even just for a little while. I wanted to speak to Laura about this. But it seemed as if she didn’t want to be found. “Robert,” a faint voice came from my left, interrupting my moment of peace. As I turned around, James walked towards me. ‘Couldn’t anyone in this kingdom give me some time alone?’ I asked myself. Standing in front of me, he asked, “Can I have a word with you?” “Can’t you see that I want to be alone?” I responded, trying to be as polite as possible. “I can join you on your walk. I just need to speak with you,” James insisted. I let out a sigh and nodded, walking once more with James beside me. He started, “I didn’t appreciate the manner of how you and Elizabeth spoke to your aunt. That was very disrespectful of you.”

As soon as she saw us arrive, she immediately stood up and curtsied as low as possible. “Gonzalo, you may leave,” I said, my eyes never leaving Laura. “Are you sure, Your Highness?” he asked. “There’s no need to worry, Gonzalo,” I smiled at him. “She’s a friend of mine. Kindly take care of the letter.” Gonzalo bowed and left me with Laura. “Laura?” I called out gently as I approached her. “Come now, Laura. There’s no need for that,” I helped her up. Lifting her face, I smiled even more as I was very pleased that she was here. “You don’t have to do such formalities when it comes to me.” “Don’t be silly, Robert. You know that I have to do that,” Laura replied, fiddling with her fingers. “I am in your realm, your kingdom. I must pay you the respect given to you here.” “Laura, you’re no different from me. Therefore, you don’t have to be all ceremonial whenever you visit me,” I explained, unable to contain a growing grin. Looking at her frame, it came to my attention that she wasn’t

We turned our heads and saw Nana Olsa. She tried to stand firmly as her crooked staff assisted her weight. “I believe that exchange of words is enough for today,” she approached us. “Nana, this doesn’t concern you. It’s better that you return inside. You don’t even know what we’re talking about,” Mallory snarled at Nana. “Can’t you show Nana some respect?” I scolded Mallory. “Don’t vent all of your frustrations on her. She’s not involved in this.” “Why defend her? She’s not your family?” she answered. “Who are you to tell me how to treat her?” “Mallory, don’t make me break my promise to your mother,” Nana threatened as she stood near us. “I don’t need your stupid promises to my mother! I can take care of myself,” she replied to Nana, showing every single speck of arrogance in her body. “Well, if that’s the case, I would like for you to leave the castle grounds,” Nana remarked, holding her head up high. Mallory was silenced immediately. “You said you can take care of yourself, am

Why was Mother refusing to receive treatment from the Medicine King? It was quite clear that he wanted Mother to recover. But she didn’t seem to be enthusiastic about it. And what sort of treatment did the Medicine King pertain to? “Amelia, I made it very clear that this treatment can be your last chance of survival,” the Medicine King explained firmly. It was evident that he was begging for Mother’s approval. “It may not completely heal you. But it can slow down whatever virus is inside of you.” “Good sir, you can see my state. An Immortal, weak, fragile, and unable to leave her bed. How can I go to another city with my condition?” she questioned, with a hint of humour and sarcasm in her tone. “Amelia, this matter isn’t to be taken lightly,” the Medicine King scolded her. He continued, “Your situation is already a matter of life and death. If you agree to this treatment, I can go and get the materials needed so we can begin.” “I’m already too ill to handle too much stress. As muc

She looked at me, surprised and baffled. She asked, “Were you eavesdropping again?” “I was about to knock on your door when I heard your conversation. And allow me to say this, Mother: you are acting like a child. You’re not accepting our help and you’re being stubborn,” I replied. Mother giggled gently, careful not to hurt herself. “Robert, I’m only being realistic. And now that you know what we talked about, I have my reasons as to why I’m rejecting any sort of treatment.” “The Medicine King said you believe that your time to die has come,” I raised a brow. “I don’t understand who you can think of that. Aren’t you worried about leaving Elizabeth and me?” “Robert, we all must accept the arrival of our demise,” she said as she reached out a hand to mine. “The Medicine King has treated me like a child when I only reasoned with him. Acceptance is key to everything, including death.” “Mother, please. Stop saying that you’re going to die,” I begged. “You’re going to recover. And you w
