AriusThe complaints started the next morning after that strange beam of light. I was in my hall when the first set troop in from the distant part of Northshore, they must have been on the road for at least a day and with the worry on their face, they certainly were not there to see their queen. “You need a woman with you when they get here. Faye is here and pregnant with your child if I should remind you, use her.” Kastav said but I glared at him. He betrayed me, he should have told me about Faye coming to meet him instead of telling the council and right now he was trying to push Faye in front of my people. That was not something which I would allow, not now, not ever.“No, I will not present my mistake in front of my people and parade it in front of my Bride, I will not give Gwenn that disrespect.”“You need a woman beside you.” Isolde answered and when I looked at her shock, she hurried and added to her statement. I thought i

GwennGetting to the palace, I was not in the mood be confronted by Faye but I didn’t have a choice because she was resting by the door and tapping her foot, when I drew closer, she straightened. “Well done queen Gwenn, what was that little stunt you pulled this morning, you think that the whole revolve around you and you can disappear when you chose to?” Faye demanded standing in front of me and preventing me from moving forward, Sorens eyebrow jumped at the audacity which she had to stop me from advancing forward with her blocking my way. Her hands were on her middle and it was just plain pathetic, I didn’t know how she was doing it, acting like the baby was already a bump when that place was still as flat as ever. I guess she wanted everybody to know of her status. “No, the world does not revolve around me, neither do the world nor me stand still because of you.” I answered her and just because she was drawing attention to her stomach, I made my eyes

AriusThe question was, will she? Will she come to my room and let me have my way with her. I know that it is wrong for me to do that but I needed to make her pregnant as soon as possible. Especially since she was leaving and I want to make her pregnant. If there should be anybody on the throne after me, it should be a child who I want there. I made a big mess of things and I did t know how to correct it. You think that you are correcting it by making new mistakes, mistakes she will never forgive you for?I shut down that thought as I wanted to sit up so I could reach for a drink beside of my bed but my door opened. I leaned back to see who would come through and it was my beautiful wife who wore a modest night cloth and a shawl to make it more modest for long walks. I watched as she closed the door behind her and removed the shawl and then she started undressing. I wanted her to stop but I didn’t say a word. If

“My queen, is your second in command not joining us?” One of the nobles who gave his name as Anlow said, he was one of the leader of this settlement whose name I had learnt was Magelyn. Apparently that name has been one of the many things which its origin has been lost.I smiled as my heart gave a twinge at the hurt which Sorens must have been feeling but there was nothing I could do about it. It was better I did it this way than I keep on hurting him. “I am sorry but he won’t be able to make it, so please tell me, you said children has been disappearing, I want you to fill me in on what has been happening.“Of course.” The noble nodded. “It started about Five days ago, normally the wood around Magelyn are safe. They have always been. I played in them when I was young as did all of us here did.” Anlow gestured around the table at the rest of the nobles who nodded their agreement. “We don’t think of it when a child goes off to play in the woods

Throughout the night and into the next morning, none of us slept a wink as we all kept watch. We have learnt our lesson and Anlow was muttering about this forest being out of reach for both children and adults, not like he didn’t believe my words that the Gurumapa was gone but because of the strange yowling we heard, like a cat was injured but from the strength of the yowls, it seemed like a giant cat. “It seems like we would have to check our traps before going home.” I said as the rest groaned, all they wanted was to get out of this place, a place that was home for them before but now has turned into a place where they never knew what was going to pop up. “My queen?” Sorens called. “My lady?” I corrected him and when he looked at me in surprise. I explained. “My queen has turned into your form of special name for me, people will notice. If you are not going to change calling me that then I want you not to hide while doing it too. I want you to c
