The King's announcement sounded like a bee sting to Zinnia, that was the last thing she expected from the king, she was so embarrassed and angry by the manner she was demoted back to a commoner, all these because of Pearl! Zinnia's eyes drifted to Fox, he acted as if he wasn't noticing anything going on, he obviously was avoiding her stare, he promised to get Pearl out of the castle but he did nothing, he didn't even react when the king announced the cancellation of the marriage. "If I should leave this castle then I will do it right after exposing someone" Zinnia said standing up as all eyes turned to her in anticipation "Fox here and I are lovers and we have been having an affair together even before I got married to the king, he got me married to the king just for his own interest of having me on his bed whenever he wanted, when Pearl got engaged to the king and we found out about her pregnancy he promised to help me terminate the pregnancy and send Pearl out of the castle… The wo

(Disclaimer: the following content has a war scene and it might not be written well as this is my first time) "Has Pearl been hidden?" King Archer asked as he walked down the hallway breathlessly, the war between him and Theodore had been called and he needed utmost protection for Pearl. "Yes, it was easier than expected but she'd be lonely right now" Archer had begged Ray to help hide Pearl knowing that Pearl would be too stubborn to handle in a situation like this. "I will send her hand maid to her… Hey Arlo, are all the horses out!?" Archer called out. "Yes my king, the knights and guards are now fully dressed in their armour" Arlo said in a bow as he hurried down the stairs, there was no time to waste, the war was suddenly called by Theodore without a date! "Ray, are you ready for this?" Archer turned to his elder brother who was fully dressed and had his sword at the corner of his armour. "Let's save Guham Brother!" Ray said as they hurried down stairs. The knights and

"Come on Pearl don't cry, tears won't make him rise from his death please just relax" Archer said walking towards me with a worried Expression written on his face, he was clearly affected by his brother's death but as usual he acted strong. I slumped on my bed with force which affected my belly a little but the pain of losing the one person that makes this castle less boring for me didn't let me think of my belly pains. I was feeling the same pain I felt when I lost my parents. I couldn't just bear it, just earlier today I was with Ray talking and laughing and now he is dead. Why is it so easy to lose loved ones… His death was slowly bringing back the memories of how I lost my parents, that wasn't a good sight at all, yeah I didn't mourn them the way I should but I know how much it affected me mentally. I heard the banging noise of the door for me to realize that King Archer had gone, he definitely was irritated by my tears and all but seriously it's not easy to just let the memor

I turned to King Archer and the look on his face was out of the world, he was obviously confused but at same time he found the young man's words funny as he cleared his throat slightly raising his eyes to the young man who didn't seem scared or worried by the look King Archer gave him. "Young Man, I don't think you know the man you're dining with right now, it would be better for you to come back to your senses and tell me what I want to hear!" King Archer yelled not too loud as veins sprouted out of his forehead which normally happens when he is provoked. The Young man seemed serious with his words and wasn't a bit threatened by King Archer's angry voice, every bit of the drama was equally getting me confused because remembering the story Prince Ray told me about their mom, she should be probably dead by now because she was sent out of the castle with nothing and wounds from delivery… So what's this young man saying? "Your mother was never dead, long story short she was helped by m

I stared at her with distaste and a frown that I couldn't hide as two teenage boys came down from the second chariot which made me even more surprised. What's going on here! Who is this Lady and why is she here with her kids? Does King Archer have a family that no one knows about? "Yes, Pearl meet Lady Ann She is my elder brothers wife" He announced as my eyes shone in shock, I never thought of Prince Ray's family all these while "And here are her son's Charlie and Liam" King Archer said pulling them into his arms, they where indeed handsome and I could see Prince Ray in them, They look alot like him! I was so dumbfounded as I turned to the smiling face of the Lady, I suddenly felt bad for giving her such a long face even before she was introduced. Her wrinkled eye bags were so red and slightly swollen which shows that she has cried a lot, she must have been through a lot lately. "Hello Queen Pearl, nice meeting you, I have heard lots of amazing things about you and I must say I a
