Richardson got up quickly from the floor which had been his bed since the day of the divorce. He unlocked the door and rushed outside. He was met face to face with Lord Anthony, his chief advisor. 

He thought there would at least be a few people at the door but it was just Lord Anthony. The one person he really did not want to see.

“Your majesty…” Lord Anthony began. He always wore such a stern and strict look on his face. Richardson could swear that he had never seen him crack a smile. Voluntarily or involuntarily.

“Good… day, Lord Anthony.” He said, unsure of what time it was.

“I cannot believe I had to lie that something is wrong with the mother of your child to get you to leave your chambers, my king. It has been two d

    Brianna did her best to hide the surprise she was sure was evident on her face, “sir Brian.” “Hello my lady, do you have a moment?” Brian asked her. She looked into the room to see Rosetta raising two thumbs to her, giving her the go ahead. “Okay.” Brianna breathed, closing the door behind her. The two walked down the hall and took a left turn down to the palace grounds. “I wanted to see you,” Brian started, “It troubled me that it seemed like we left on a bad foot earlier today.” “Oh.” Brianna said softly. She did not think he noticed. “Yes, I meant it when I said I would like us to be friends. I hate having misunderstandings.” Friends. That was the only word that rang in Brianna’s ears. Were they friends? “I understand Sir Brian. I did feel someway seeing you flinch at me but I now realize that you probably do not like it when people touch you. I should have asked before reaching for you.” Brianna said simply. For some reason she felt really flushed despite the fact that th

    Rhode never opened the letter because he had no plans on ever getting married and thought that the letter would be filled with advice he was never going to have any use for. However, after he decided on his mission to the East all those months ago, he started to think that maybe he would have use for the letter after all.His plan did involve wooing Megan Brighton but a part of him did not believe he would be able to pull it off. She was married to her mate after all.Who would have thought?He broke the seal and opened the letter, met face to face with his brother’s nostalgic handwriting.He had often gone back to reread the other letters, which were helpful tips on how to be king, not that he took most of the advice. He and Michael had different ways of doing everything. It was the thought that Michael put into writing them, despite how ill he must have been that warmed his heart.Michael knew that Rhode would find the box.I’m writing this last because knowing you, you would probab

    Megan turned a very bright shade of red, “what?” She blurted out, flushed. He was flirting way more than usual lately.Rhode chuckled. He admitted to himself that he did things intentionally so he could see Megan turn a bright shade of pink. He loved watching the stoic Megan Brighton getting all flustered.“You always tease me.” She said, plopping down on her bed, pouting.“I’m not teasing, my queen. I did miss you.” Rhode said, taking a seat at her vanity, where he had sat earlier.“I know I’ve asked this before but, how are you? Do you like it here? Do you like your room?” He paused, “Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?”Megan smiled. He really was mindful of her.“You don’t have to worry so much about me, Rhode.” “I am very comfortable.” Megan paused, “Although, I can’t determine how things will be after the wedding.”“That is true. Nonetheless, I’m sure they would love you.” Rhode said, very sure.“They?” Megan asked, unsure of who he was referring to.“Your

    Mirabel? Who was this woman? Was he not going to introduce Megan? She stood beside Rhode while he and this unknown woman who looked very known to Rhode engaged in a staring competition with Rhode and he with her.Was this tension she felt?“My king.” The unknown woman curtsied and walked past her and Rhode.“Let us go.” Rhode said to her. Megan was greatly confused but masked her emotions. Was he not going to tell her who the lady was? Mirable, was it? She thought she heard him call her that.He continued pointing out different places to her but if she was being honest with herself, she heard nothing that he said.In fact, she was beginning to get pretty upset. She wasn’t asking for his entire history, she just wished he would tell her about people she would eventually see.Like that girl back at the inn and now this, Mirabel.She didn’t look like a nobody. She was dressed like a lady and had ladies with her.Did she live in the palace? She must since she was in the west quarters.M

    “Never, my lady…”“We would never think of such a thing.” Mary said to Mirabel, eyes filled with worry.Where was this suddenly coming from?Mirabel smiled, “I see. Let us go.”Mary and Lily both looked at themselves before following behind Mirabel. She was acting strangely but they knew to not ask questions. It was not their place to.In her room, Megan was actually surprised at the fact that she shed no tears despite the fact that she felt her heart physically shatter.Perhaps she cried out all her tears in the East.‘I did cry a lot.’ She thought to herself.

    Megan froze as he walked towards her, pulling her towards him. His hand rested gently above her waist and his other hand, supporting her neck. She was frozen in shock, at a loss for words. “I’m sorry.” Megan could not ignore the pounding of her heart. It felt like anyone within hearing distance could hear, she was sure Rhode heard it. She stuttered, and she never stuttered, “I don’t understand…, my king.” That did it. “Oh, for heaven’s sake, Megan. Don’t do that with me, not you. I’m not my king to you.” Rhode paused. “I’m Rhode. Just Rhode.” Rhode held her eyes, his deep purple eyes boring a hole into her eyes. She had never been in a stare down before but she was clearly losing. Megan kept quiet, unsure of what to say in response. She was not upset at him for anything he did or did not do but she did have a resolve until just now. And Megan never broke her resolve but a deep purple pair of eyes staring into her soul was making her reconsider her decisions. “Is it somethin

    “It’s delicious.” Megan said as she took her first bite out of the deliciously roasted venison.“It’s lamb.” Rhode said as he took a bite out of it.The two enjoyed a quiet lunch. Apparently, it was a rule that the king could not eat alone under any circumstance. There needed to be servers with a physician present in case there is a risk of food poisoning.Another thing that was very different from the East.After dinner, the couple walked back to Megan’s chambers. She didn’t show it but she was very glad that she didn’t have to continue with her little charade of being unemotional.She did it for years in the East but the thought of doing it again stressed her. She was grateful that she could be herself, whatever that meant and wasn’t quite ready to take on the role of the stoic queen.She didn’t show it but she was glad Rhode didn’t leave her to her thoughts and assumptions though he was late and she had already jumped into a million and one conclusions.When they entered her room,

    Aspen frowned as she stared at the man in front of her, Duke Elric, he claimed to be. She was suspicious, but given his ranking as a Duke she was reluctant to storm out. He was higher than she was and probably could ever be if she had tricked the gullible Richardson and played the homewrecker by ruining her friend's marriage.Knowing this, she sat back down with heaving breaths as her eyes narrowed with distrust and barely restrained anger.“My my, you seem to be fighting with yourself not to strangle me.” The strange man laughed, and Aspen clenched her hands. What she hated the most was being made fun of and it seemed like this gentleman was hellbent on doing that.“My Lord, I'm currently very busy and I would like to be left alone.” Aspen reiterated stiffly, hoping that was enough to get him to leave. But to her surprise and dismay, his cunning blues hardened as he glared down at her.“Did you just dismiss me?” He asked with clenched teeth and Aspen felt herself wilt. He was dangero

    Aspen's life was going to shit. Firstly, Richardson confirmed her worst fears by saying to her face that he never had the intention to make her queen. Then proceeded to make it clear how much he hated her. Something that was rapidly becoming vice versa.And then there was Rudolph. The strange reporter that had barged into her chambers and pointed all five of his fingers at her accusingly, and claimed he knew where her son, the son that had been sired by that barbarian was. Confirming one of Aspen’s worst fears in a few seconds.After that incident, she had been unable to breathe because she believed that when she let her guard down, then that damned reporter would start publishing articles about the life she had led up in the north.That was frankly what kept her up many nights, but to her surprise, she heard nothing from Rudolph after that night. And the border guards she had bribed for information told her that they had indeed seen a person with Rudolph's exact description leaving t

    Lord Fuhler was trying to force breath into his lungs as he stood in his ancestral castle belonging to the Fuhlers name and tried to swallow the urge to scream.Rhode had somehow managed to smash all his wonderful plans to shreds and Lord Fuhler was in shock.He had planned it well, so well that there was even a safety net to catch him should the already immaculate plan fail, but Rhode had somehow managed to smash both the plan and the net to smithereens.“Argh!”Lord Fuhler finally pointed the middle finger to decorum and screamed his lungs out in frustration. He felt like putting a bounty on Rhode's and Megan's head. A million dollars for anyone who brings me the head of the Alpha, or his bitch! But unfortunately, some fantasies tended to remain fantasies.“My Lord, your daughter is here.” A servant announced and Fuhler nodded as his eyes burned with a vengeful rage. He would not be surprised if his own daughter had been the one to screw him over. Not surprised at all.“Send her in.

    Rhode sighed as he watched Megan sink tiredly into her bed with a sigh of relief as her hand went to clutch at her forehead. He knew such stress and excitement could not possibly be good for the child she was carrying, but for some reason, his court had been very stirred up lately.“What is going through that pretty head of yours?” Megan asked with a laugh, and Rhode jolted to reality with a guilty expression, he had no idea he had zoned out.“Why?” He laughed along with her, and he could tell his eyes were twinkling mischievously. “Are you curious?” He asked and she nodded eagerly as she stared at him right in the eyes, and Rhode grinned again. He had always loved it when she smiled at him and looked at him straight in the eyes with zero inhibitions.He knew that it would probably be a long time before she could completely trust him given her past, but he was willing to work for it.“Yes!” Megan laughed again. “A penny for your thoughts?” Before opening his mouth to speak, Rhode mad

    Brianna could not stop her legs from shaking as Brian and Megan rushed to help her up. She knew that she had only survived because of her lady's dedication and loyalty, and she was resolved to serve her even more.When the brutish Lord Geoffrey had ordered that she be stripped of her clothing and dignity, Brianna had almost died of fear and shame.The thought of the men, including Brian seeing her nakedness was a sure motive to commit suicide, and kneeling there, she had come to realize how powerless she was, how truly disposable, because she knew she was only taking the fall for something she had no hand in, and that made bile rise in her throat. That was of course until Megan marched in and demanded her freedom. From then, Brianna swore to make sure she did everything in her power to help her queen become stronger.~*~**~*~“Oh my God, are you alright Brianna? Are you really alright?” Rosetta had asked with tears in her eyes as she embraced the shaken Brianna in her arms.“I am alri

    Rhode had completely forgotten about Megan and her temper in the chaos Lord Fuhler had successfully caused in the inner court. But when she had barged in with hell fire in her eyes, he knew that it was time to take action into his own hands. But judging from the look his advisor, Lord Rosebud, was currently shooting at him, he definitely had not made the right choice, but it was alright. He just had to free Brianna first and deal with the consequences later.“Your highness!” Lord Fuhler began with indignation written in his every feature, and at moment the entire court stared at him with pensive eyes.Brian was still poised for attack as he placed him between Brianna and any perceived threats, Lord Rosebud was currently shooting him disapproving glares, while Lord Aldrien was sporting a smirk as he stood tall in his neutrality, and that made Rhode slightly uneasy because in court there was nothing like neutrality.“You just banished Lord Geoffrey!” Lord Fuhler yelled again as he look

    Megan felt her world tilt as she heard the forbidden words coming from the lovely lips of Mirabel Fuhler, a lady she still absolutely distrusted, and for good reason as well.“What did you say?” Megan whispered as Rosetta mouthed the word Traitor in disbelief and fell to her knees. Mirabel only looked at her with a sigh as she twiddled her lace covered thumb in distress, but Megan was not having it.“Listen, I know, I know it's difficult to take in, but going in there will only hasten the fate of your maid.” Mirabel tried to explain, but Megan was not having it, heck, she was no longer listening. The only thing she could hear were the distant clanging of bells, the kind used to signify an approaching enemy.“Like hell I won't go in.” Megan hissed, before abruptly shaking off the quivering hold of Mirabel and turning to Rosetta.“Pull yourself together!” She yelled under her breath with a glare, causing the crying girl to flinch.“If you are dissolving In tears, then what is poor Brian

    Megan smiled at the knitting thread in her hands that had begun to form something that was a cross between a sock and a skirt? Oh well, she had not expected to be perfect anyways.She was never the knitting or crocheting type, preferring to wage wars with a pen and usurp kingdoms. Plan coups and displace rulers. But for the first time in her life, she was seated in a rocking chair with two needles in her hands as she tried to spurn the perfect dress or scarf for her precious baby.“This is quite the sight.” Rosetta laughed as she strolled in with a basket under her arm and sunflowers in her hair. And Megan lightened up instantly.“Rose, come and take a look at this!” She ordered in excitement, and Rosetta dropped the basket of laundry she was holding and hurried over.“Well?! What do you think?” She demanded, and Rose made an expression that was a cross between a wince and a grimace.“Err, it's a very nice head warmer?” Rosetta asked cautiously as she stared at the strange item and Me

    Admittedly, due to his friendship with Rhode, and knowing him so well, it had been hard for Brian to transition from best friend to subordinate. In fact, he had been ready for the friendship itself to end as Rhode would undoubtedly have more influential people to mix with, but to his surprise, he was held tightly by his friend. Metaphorically speaking of course.So due to those factors as well as some important ones, he had forgotten what his friend was truly capable of, but in moments like this, he tended to remember.He had only seen Rhode use what they had come to know as the imperial sway once, and even then was nothing compared to what Brian was witnessing.The council members were now on their knees as they writhed and pleaded for mercy, but he could see from his friend's eyes that he had none to give them. To his relief however, Rhode had exempted him from the turmoil discreetly, so Brian raised a hand to his bleeding nose, as he wiped it, and gave a reassuring nod to his frie

    Rhode could not contain his anger when he woke up the next morning. He had stirred up to find himself in Brian's bed, and that was not the only unflattering thing that happened.He could still feel the bitter residue of whatever drug he had unknowingly consumed the night before, and knew, without anyone telling him, that the drug must have been potent.And what's worse? He could still feel the weakness in his bones that came from denying his body what it had been forced to desire last night. Doing that had only been through sheer force of will, as was everything he did, but oh was he pissed off.He knew the gist of what had happened by now, his own court members, or one of them at least had dared to poison him, and he knew without the doubt that if he had stayed in his room last night, he would have been violated, but the court would not have seen it that way, and would have demanded that he took responsibility for the cursed woman.He knew everything, and that was precisely why he co
