บททั้งหมดของ By Order of the King: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

It was early afternoon when they arrived at the castle the next day.The previous night, they had stopped to rest and sleep.Men were divided into pairs for being on the lookout. There was a pair change every two hours.In the morning, Skye had woken up more tired than she had gone to bed. She hadn't slept well last night. She wasn't used to sleeping outside, and the slightest noise woke her.And she remembered very clearly that whenever she opened her eyes during the night, she noticed that Hector was nearby, sitting close to the fire or leaning against a nearby tree.His eyes were always turned towards the side where the women were sleeping.Each time Skye closed her eyes feeling safe.Hector and his men led their horses to the stables so they could be cared for by the stablemen.Skye and Maysie were left in the care of the servants and maids.After the greetings and broad smiles of welcome, one of the maids led Skye and Maysie to the chamber where Skye lived."Finally!" Skye sighed

The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, and her blood froze in her veins under his slimy caress.Skye didn’t know what to do. How should she react? Was she allowed to react? The man before her was Hector's brother and the future King.Hector growled and grabbed Donncha's hand, twisting it hard."Did I warn you to let go of her or not?"Skye watched Donncha's face contort into a grimace of pain as he showed exalted pride and didn't make the slightest sound of pain.Hector leaned close to his face."I swear to God, if you ever consider touching her again, I won't hold myself back," he hissed his warning and continued squeezing his hand. Donncha's face had turned red, being unable to utter a word.“Stop, Hector! Let him!” Roisin interjected. “Haven’t you realized that Donncha likes to tease you? He was just joking. You don't have to break his hand.” she said, placing her hand on Hector's. “You can leave him now. Please," she whispered her last words, looking Hector in the eyes.His g

"Thank you." Skye told him, grabbing a non-existent lock of hair and tucking it behind her ear."It is nothing. Don’t mention it. I want to be by your side until you get used to it. Until you feel that you are at home and not just in your new house," he replied.How does it come and always tell her the right words that relieve her of every doubt, every trace of anxiety and nervousness?They were interrupted by talking coming from outside and she turned towards where the voices were coming from.“What the hell has she piled in there? It is so heavy.” two servants entered carrying a large trunk.Once they noticed that Hector was there, their eyes widened slightly, and they immediately stopped talking.They stopped intending to leave the trunk on the floor and bow before continuing.Hector waved his hand.“Proceed, your time now matters, so don’t waste it. There is no need to do this now. Another time when your hands will be free,” Hector told them, urging them to move on.The two servan

The dress flapped behind her as she ran away from him, and the hold on her hair began to loosen until her hair was completely free and fluttered like waves in the wind.For a few moments, Hector remained stunned, and as he watched her run away, all he felt was terror. The terror that he was in danger of losing the most precious thing he had. The terror that he would lose her from his life. At that thought, his heart cracked.He ran after her. "Skye, wait!"Skye kept running. The magnificent scenery she had been admiring until a while ago, had now turned into a blurry image. Tears of despair were streaming down her cheeks.Her vision was blurry, but that didn't stop her from continuing to run and carrying one thing on her mind, to get away. To leave this castle as fast as possible. After all, she was not made to live in castles, only embittered her.She would give anything to return to her village, in the poor hut where she only felt happy. But she had nothing to give. She had nothing

They walked in silence toward the place he had shown her earlier.She still felt a little dizzy, and her mind was a bit clouded from the experience she had just been through, and all she could think about was how he had made her feel.What else did he want them to discuss?Immersed in her thoughts as she was, she didn’t notice that the path had begun to widen, and without realizing it, she was following its line to the edge, fending off him.Hector watched her out of the corner of his eye. His heart flickered with contentment. He had taken a first step to bring them closer. It was an important step, but the goal was not fully achieved.His goal was to make her fall in love with him, deeply and unconditionally, as he did.His deep desire was to love him so much that he could not live without him.Today, he took the first step towards fulfilling this goal, and it was crowned with success.After that, the belief that he would succeed was born in his heart. He possessed patience and perse
