The King’s Relentless Desire The Walk
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three Liana’s POV We stepped into the hallway together, and the guards standing on either side straightened when they saw him. Their eyes flicked to me, then away again, like they didn’t know how they were supposed to look at me now. Not a prisoner. Not consort. Not an enemy. Something in between. Something is still taking shape. Kael didn’t speak as we walked. He didn’t need to. His presence filled the space enough. The corridor looked different from how I remembered. Or maybe it was that I looked at it differently now. The stone walls didn’t feel cold. The light didn’t feel harsh. Everything felt sharper, like my senses were tuned toward something I hadn’t been aware of before. People paused when we passed. Servants. Guards. Advisors. None of them spoke. But they looked. Oh, they looked. Some with curiosity. Some with confusion. A few with something like resentment they tried to hide. I felt all of it. I didn’t shrink from it. Kael’s hand hovere
The King’s Relentless Desire In His Quarters
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two Liana’s POV The door closed behind us, and the quiet of the room settled around me. It was not the silence of emptiness. It felt lived in. Warm. The kind of silence that came from familiarity, not absence. The windows were open, letting in morning air that carried the faint scent of pine and distant smoke from the city below. The curtains shifted slowly with the breeze. The light in the room was soft, not sharp or cold the way castle light often was. Kael walked further in, removing the dark clasp at his shoulder and placing his cloak over the back of the chair near the table. He moved like he always did. Controlled. Aware of space. Not wasting motion. I stayed near the door for a moment, just taking the room in again. I had been here before. But today felt different. Like stepping back into a place changed simply because I was changed. Kael looked at me then. Really looked. His attention felt steady and complete, the way it did when he was ma
The King’s Relentless Desire Returning to the Hall
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One Liana’s POV The doors to the castle felt heavier than usual when we stepped through them. Not physically. Just in meaning. The air inside was warmer and full of that familiar low hum of voices, footsteps, and distant echoing movement. Life happens behind walls. Kael walked beside me, not leading and not following. Just there. His presence felt steady, like a constant I didn’t need to look at to know existed. I kept my hands relaxed at my sides. My shoulders are level. I didn’t want to look nervous. I didn’t feel nervous, not exactly. Just aware. Like every step mattered now. We crossed the main corridor. A pair of guards bowed their heads as we passed. Their eyes flicked to Kael, then to me. Not long enough to show disrespect. Just long enough to confirm what they were seeing. I mattered now. Even if only because I mattered to him. I felt that awareness again across my skin, like the air knew too. Kael didn’t speak until we reached the grand
The King’s Relentless Desire The Garden and What Comes After
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Liana’s POV The breeze moved through the leaves again, soft enough that I could hear it more than feel it. Kael’s hand lowered from my cheek, but the warmth of it stayed, printed into my skin like a memory that would not fade. Neither of us spoke at first. The quiet did not feel empty. It felt like something being understood without words. I looked at the small fountain near us. The water spilt in a steady fall, gentle and quiet. The sound matched the slow rhythm of my breathing. My hands were still, but my thoughts moved. Not in panic. Just in awareness. Kael watched me. I could feel his gaze more than I could see it. It was not heavy. It did not press. It simply stayed. Present. Real. I turned to face him fully. “What happens now,” I asked. His expression did not shift, but something in his eyes focused. “You learn,” he said. “More than before. Not how to survive the court. How to shape it.” I let that sink in. “Shape it.” “Yes.” My hear
The King’s Relentless Desire After the Table
Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen Liana’s POV We left the private dining chamber without speaking. The air in the hallway felt cooler, but the warmth of the room clung to my skin as though I had stayed there longer than I had. I walked beside Kael, but not close enough to touch him. The distance was deliberate, and it made every step feel sharpened. The castle was quieter at this hour. The long corridor glowed with torchlight, throwing slow shadows across the stone floor. Our footsteps echoed lightly. The quiet made it easier to hear my heartbeat, still a little too quick. When we reached my chamber door, Kael stopped. He did not reach for me. He did not lean in. He simply stood there, facing me, as though something had been left unsaid between us and he was waiting for me to say it. I tightened my fingers slightly around the fabric of my dress. “Thank you,” I said. The words felt strange, but not wrong. Kael’s eyes searched my face, slow and unhurried. “You do not need to th
The King’s Relentless Desire The Private Meal
Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen Liana’s POV The private dining chamber was quiet when we entered, lit only by the glow of the hearth and a few high candles along the walls. The room was smaller than the grand hall, meant for two or three, not dozens. The air felt warmer here. Softer. Closer. A single table had been set near the window. Two plates. Two goblets. A bottle of wine already uncorked, breathing. Kael did not speak at first. He walked to the window and opened it slightly, letting in the cool evening air. The breeze drifted across the room, carrying the faint scent of pine and night grass rising from the castle grounds below. I sat. Not because I was told to. Because the silence was comfortable enough to move within. Kael joined me, taking the seat across from mine. For a moment he simply looked at me. Not in the intense way that left me breathless, and not with distance either. Just seeing me. Present. A steady gaze that made it impossible to look away. The food wa
