What was she doing there? Was she following me this whole time? Did she know what I was up to? “Where did you get that?” I asked, eyes wide opened as I pointed at the basket. “Oh, I visited a bakery in the Mortal Realm because of a friend I made there,” she said. “It’s been quite a long time since we last spoke to one another and I had a lot of stories to tell.” My heart skipped a beat horrified. Somehow, I felt like she already told her friend about us. “And stories are these, if you don’t mind me asking?” “It’s mostly about my life,” she replied as she opened the basket. “How my life has been, what occupies my time recently and…” she slowly stopped. “Did you mention anything about us?” I asked. “It’s not like that–” “Did you tell someone about us?” I asked once more, not allowing her to give an explanation. “Robert, let me–” “I don’t need an explanation, Mallory,” I cut her off again. My blood boiled again as I continued, “Just answer the question: did you mention anything a

In the middle of a very important report, someone knocked on my door before it opened. My page peeked his head through the doorway. “Your Highness?” he asked. “Hm?” I raised a brow, not turning my attention away from the report. “Gonzalo is here with Mallory, Your Highness,” he informed. I closed the report and put it on my bedside table. “Let Mallory in. Have Gonzalo bring my dinner up here,” I instructed. “Yes, Your Highness,” he left the door open and Mallory entered. “Close the door, please,” I said as I stood up, walking towards her. Mallory gently shut the door behind her and walked over to me. “You asked for me? That’s odd.” “We need to discuss my unplanned introduction to your friend,” I said. “Robert, if you don’t want to, I understand–” “I did say I’m letting you introduce me to your friend, am I correct?” I interrupted, my hands on my waist. “Oh, thank you, Robert! Thank you!” She was about to hug me but I stopped her, blocking her with my hand. “I’m not finished

An hour has passed, and I finally finished packing and eating my dinner. While I waited for my body to feel exhausted, my door suddenly creaked open. I put the report that I was reading onto the table and removed the blanket from my legs. As soon as I tried to get out of bed, Elizabeth slowly entered my room. “Oh, Elizabeth,” I breathed out of relief, “I worried for a second on who it was.” “Um, your page isn’t here so I thought you’re not busy,” she explained, briefly pointing outside of my room. “Are you in the middle of something? Is this a bad time to pay a short visit?” she asked I smiled as I patted the part of the bed next to me, asking her to come. She closed the door and walked towards me. I reached out my hand and she took it as she sat beside me. “Elizabeth, how many times do I have to tell you that you are always welcome in my room?” I replied as I held her hands in mine. I continued, “No matter what I’m doing, if you want to come and talk to me, you can.” She smile
The Impact of Her (ALL SEASONS) ~ Twenty-Nine - Season I ~
‘It was morning, I believe. ‘The rays of the sun entered the windows, giving light to the halls of this castle. I looked at myself from my feet. I was in my usual day clothes: a loose shirt, black pants, and boots. ‘But, as I was walking through the halls, I noticed that it was different. It looked like our castle but I never remembered the halls having this kind of design and decor. The curtains were still a shade darker than red. But it had golden lines embroidered on the edges. Paintings were still hung up on the walls but I didn’t know what and who they were. And the carpet wasn’t red, it was blue. ‘I could also hear a faint sound of an organ, somewhere inside the castle. ‘I didn’t know where I currently was. I could only follow the music in the hopes that I could figure something out. -*-*-*-*-*-*- ‘A few moments later, the music grew louder. It was as if I was in the same room as the instrument. Ahead of me was a balcony. Far below were two chairs, both have red, velvet cus

“Robert, I know how you feel towards me at the moment. But, it shouldn’t affect your duty when you reach Middle Earth,” he answered. He continued, “Always remember in all things that you are the next king of Western Wind. Everything that you do will reflect on our kingdom.” Everything was always about reputation and monarchy, I guess. The very least he could do was to wish for our safety during our trip. “You don’t have to worry about that because I always have that reminder in my mind,” I said in full confidence. “Is there anything else?” I asked. He sighed as if he were preparing to say something else. “About the fishing trip–” “Please, James, I don’t want to talk about that,” I interrupted as I turned my head somewhere else. “Robert, please, let us have a civilised conversation about this matter,” he quickly replied. He took a few steps towards me and continued, “I understand that you’re angry and I acknowledge that what I did was wrong. But if you give me a chance, I will mak

He sighed before a nod. “However, that’s not the only thing that I want for you to do.” I looked at him dead in the eyes, waiting for what else he expected me to do. Wasn’t he aware that he had already put so much weight on my shoulders? Did he really have to add more? Being his sole heir has already placed too much expectations on me. Adding more to what I should do would make it even harder. “I want you to take some time to enjoy the scenery and culture of Middle Earth,” James proceeded. “Aside from your royal duties, you deserve to reward yourself for all the hard work you’ll be doing.” I replied, “Your Majesty, in case you don’t know, I will be studying their culture because of my future bride. You don’t have to remind me of something I already know.” “There’s a difference in what I’m telling you to do,” he quickly answered. “Correct, you are to learn the culture for the sake of an alliance. But, you also have to know their culture by heart, as well as enjoy everything that it

The birds sang as I stood before a mirror, studying my reflection. The rays of the sun illuminated the crystals embedded on my white coat. I also combed my hair back, showing the full features of my face. I never wanted this sort of outfit. But, Mother said I had to be at my very best. Being a king meant your comfort was out of the question. Instead, I was required to show my majestic flair. And it should be incorporated in my manner of dressing. I let out a sigh, tugging on my coat before I headed for the door. I silently prayed, hoping that everything would turn out well today, as well as for the remainder of our stay here. ~*~*~*~ Stepping out on the dock, everyone was busy. They all chatted with one another whilst carrying various items. Some brought down our belongings onto the dock. Some were occupied with the ship whilst the rest simply wandered around. Constant shouts were heard from above as the sailors tried to communicate with those below. “Your Highness,” a man came u

As I said those words, I felt the tension between Queen Marta and I. Mother also turned to me in shock. “I understand that you don’t want us to meet until the formal announcement of our engagement,” I explained right away, “However, I do believe that, as her future husband and lord, I think it’s only appropriate that we meet each other now that I am here.” I continued, “Seeing that I’ll be spending a long time here in your kingdom, I want to have good relations with the princess. With your permission, of course.” A moment of silence came upon us. Mother suddenly clung onto the back of my coat. I kept my head down and my hands behind my back, not moving a muscle. Queen Marta sighed. “With all honesty, I find nothing wrong with your request,” she remarked. My head quickly shot up, delighted that she wasn’t angered by my sudden request. “You have a very good point, young Robert. I don’t mind if you want to meet my daughter now. If anything, your explanation makes a lot of sense,” she
