The King's faceless wife. chapter 17
The next morning, I woke up alone in bed.The previous night, after Prince Barlion had went to sleep, I had moved one of the chair closer to the bed. I had sat on the chair and leaned my head on my forearms, which were supported by the edge of the bed right next to Prince Barlion's hand.So it didn't make sense that I woke up in the bed, under the covers, next to the spot where Prince Barlion was suppose to be sleeping.When I looked around the chamber, I didn't spot him. Remembering how hurt he had been the previous day, I got worried.Quickly tearing the cover off my body, I climbed out of the bed and rushed to the bathroom without even putting on my shoes. Opening the bathroom doo, I looked inside to find it empty. Taking in a deep breath, I rushed out of the bathroom and made my way to his study. Pushing open the study door, I called out his name.I had expected to see him struggling with his wound like I had found him the previous day. But instead, I saw him sitting behind his

Barlion Great..."That looks kike a deep cut." Uncle Jeremy commented as he took of the patch covering the wound."Staring the obvious..."Chuckling a bit, he cleaned the herbs off before he, one again, made an exaggerated comment."Why not call a proper healer? You do realize I am not your servant." He said, as he dipped the cloth in his hand in to a warm water and continued on to clean the blood off."A healer os not needed." I repeated the words I said to my wife."I doubt it." Uncle Jeremy argued. "Your cut looks like it's been closed by a barbaric, handless healer who decided to sow it with their feet."His little commented pulled my lips in to a small smile.My wife had been the one to close the cut and yes, she had done a terrible job. But she did close it and managed to stop the blood so, I guess she did a good job."This will leave a nasty scar." Uncle Jeremy shook his head as he examined the wound." But, Lucky for you, Dear nephew. You won't die from a na

Looking around the council chambers, I tried not to show my emotions.I painted a steel for my expression, not letting a single thing get past my face.I didn't want to let them know how much I hated most of them.Trying to keep my eyes from glaring daggers at some of the council men.Other than My uncle Jeremy, every single one of them have rejected my claim to the throne.Uncle Hero, who is the third brother to my father, had always followed the King's words. If my father says jump, then Uncle Hero would say how long. If my father says I will not get the crown, then Uncle Hero would make sure that I don't get the crown.Even though Uncle Hero is in charge of Civilian Relations and is a well known and respected royal amongst the people, he still lacks a backbone when it comes to my father.Uncle Jeremy had told me that Uncle Hero used to be an up eight man who followed his beliefs. But after his wife died giving birth to his son Jeremaya, he became a shell of a man, always letting f

Frost Sorrow....Mindlessly walking through the long halls, my mind kept going to the conversation I had with Prince Victor.The story he told me had really disturbed me. I wish it hadn't, but it did.The statue of the woman had been beautiful, I had thought so the first time I saw her. And I had also noticed how Prince Barlion looked at her as well.There was warmth in there, and he was staring off at her as if he was talking to her. If what the younger Prince said was true and that woman was truly Prince Barlion's lover, then I stood no chance from the beginning.An ill girl who is not even brave enough to stand up for herself and show her face is nothing compare to the beauty that stood in the beautiful fountain.Maybe that was the reason why he hated me so much. Maybe something bad had happened to her and now, I took her place by his side.Maybe the kiss he had planted on my forehead the previous night was meant for her and not for me.It wouldn't be a surprise if he tho

Flipping the pages of the large book, I looked through each detail I could find.All though the first book Prince Victor had shown me was larger with more pages, the one he just showed me now seemed to have a few raw facts about the land beyond the five Kingdoms.One of the very first facts I found was the scariest thing I could ever find. It seems many have tried to travel beyond the five Kingdoms but too little have survived.And the survivors said that the waves of the sea had been the biggest monster of them all.It was uncertain why the sea would be so strong even at the hight of a sunny summer but one thing is for sure, if you ever think to travel beyond the five Kingdoms, then you must prepare for the waves.They said that the waves could ride up and swallow an entire castle from top to bottom. The strength and the force of each hit can't be resisted.If a normal vessel ever floats to the sea, the it was said to never be found.Those kind of travels need to be made by the stron

Barlion Great....Looking across from my desk, I saw the pure reaction my wife was having to the news.Her captivating, bright, frost blue eyes widen. Her shoulders tensed and she leaned a bit closer to the table."My parents sent me a letter?" She asked and I could hear the excitement in her small voice.The thick close covering half of her face would usually muffle her soft voice to the point that it made it hard to hear her. But this time around, her voice was a bit higher, pushing past the cloth."Yes." I answered simply with a nod. "They did."Picking the letter up from my desk, I handed it to her.Seeing her hands shake while she reached out to accept boggled me. How can one get this excited to hear from one's parents? It hadn't been that long since they last saw each other. Surely it is impossible to miss a person this soon.Frost looked dow at the paper and then back at me."You opened it?" She asked.Of course I had opened it. I tried to talk myself out of opening a l

Frost sorrow....There is always a time in a person's life when they will have to question their situations.How they got to a certain point, why they got to a certain point and when they got to a certain point.I tired to think back and retake my steps through my mind, just to find out how I managed to get stuck with the female royals of the main castle.I had enjoyed my supper with Mirra while I thought about the conversation I had with my husband the previous night.I'd shared with Mirra that father and mother had sent me a letter amd Mirra had been happy to hear that they are safe.Even though I shared my concerns with her about how vague the letter had been, Mirra, just like Prince Barlion, had told me that they probably had little time to write me the letter and that I shouldn't worry myself.The previous night had been weird for me.I was swimming in a pool of emotions, not knowing which one to embrace. I didn't know if I should be happy that they reach out, sad that the

Barlion Great..."He's setting you up for failure." Uncle Jeremy stated as he stared at the white Miner's clothes hanging in my study."I know." I replied, sitting back on my chair.Father has played me in front of the entire council. Uncle Hero had explained that those mysterious travelers travel only at night and they don't show themselves during the light.My father gave me from sun up to sun down and informed to to immediately go to the council chambers with my findings.He knows that sending me out in the day light won't get me a think about the night travelers. If he really had wanted me to find this people, he would have told me to leave when it's dark so I would be able to actually catch or follow this travelers."Why do you have a woman Miner's dress?" Uncle Jeremy asked, forcing my attention over to the similar clothes next to my white Miner's clothes, except it's for women."I am more than certain that no one will recognize you if you just go as a Miner. I don't
