All Chapters of The Hidden Queen by N.O.B: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The morning sun bathed the grand palace in a soft golden glow as the palace maids began their daily routine. Their footsteps echoed through the opulent halls as they moved with practiced efficiency. But as they approached Queen Emilia's chambers, a strange sense of unease settled upon them.The maids pushed open the ornate doors, their hearts sinking as they beheld a scene that froze them in their tracks. Queen Emilia, the epitome of grace and elegance, lay motionless on her bed, her eyes closed in eternal slumber. A collective gasp escaped their lips as they realized the truth, their beloved queen had passed away.Fear and confusion gripped the maids as they hurriedly summoned the royal physicians and alerted the palace guards. Panic spread through the corridors of the queen's chambers as whispers of the queen's sudden demise swept through the palace, leaving a shroud of sorrow and uncertainty in its wake.The physicians arrived swiftly, their brows furrowed with concern. They meticu

The grand hall was filled with a hushed anticipation as dignitaries, nobles, and common folk gathered to pay their respects during the solemn occasion of the dead queen's thanksgiving service. Three days had passed since Queen Emilia's burial, and the people of the east adhered to their cherished custom of bidding farewell to their departed loved ones in a final act of remembrance and celebration of their lives.The hall was adorned with delicate floral arrangements, their fragrant scents mingling with the soft glow of candlelight. At the front of the hall, a towering dais held the ornate golden throne, a symbol of power and authority. King Fredrick, still grappling with the weight of his grief, stood tall and regal beside it, his eyes pensive yet resolute.The murmurs and whispers swirled throughout the room as the guests awaited the commencement of the ceremony. Among the attendees were the kings and royals from neighboring kingdoms, including King Maximilian, King Edward, and Princ

Lady Elizabeth watched from afar as Prince Alexander and Prince Gabriel continued to admire Princess Isabella. In every ball they attended ,no potential man seemed to notice her , she watched as both Alexander and Gabriel took turns to dance with Isabella. Although they weren't the only potential men in the east, but they were tye men for the season.Her jealousy grew with each passing day, fueled by the attention Isabella received and the admiration she commanded. When walking on the streets of Adernia she had people , especially the poorest of people singing the praises of the future Queen and how she always visited them and showered them with gifts. Elizabeth had always been considered one of the most beautiful and captivating women in the kingdom, and it pained her to see Alexander's affections directed elsewhere,not to talk of the new bachelor of the season ,Prince Gabriel. She felt Isabella was being very stingy and only wanted to be the only one noticed by the best of men.As

Princess Isabella entered King Fredrick's chambers, her heart pounding with anticipation. She had been summoned by her father,in the middle of the night, unsure of what awaited her behind the grand doors. As she stepped into the room, she found King Fredrick sitting at his ornate desk, a solemn expression on his face."Father, you called for me,hope all is well" Isabella spoke with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. She knew how down the king had been ever since her mother died, his maids had reported of his steady nightmares and how restless he had been, which even led to calling the royal physician on a daily basis.King Fredrick looked up from the documents on his desk and motioned for Isabella to approach. With a gentle sigh, he gestured to a chair across from him. "Please, have a seat, my dear."Isabella obliged, taking a seat while studying her father's face for any hint of what was to come. The room was filled with an air of tension, and she couldn't help but feel a knot

Lord Arcturus and King Maximilian found themselves in a private chamber, seething with anger and frustration. The grand court's decision to clear Princess Isabella of the charges and the refusal to grant the order for her execution had left them feeling defeated and powerless.King Maximilian's face flushed with anger as he spoke, his voice filled with frustration. "How could they dismiss all the evidence we presented? It was clear that Isabella possesses dark powers, and yet they chose to ignore it! This is an insult to our kingdoms, Arcturus!"Lord Arcturus, though equally disappointed, maintained a calm demeanor. He knew that reacting impulsively would only further complicate matters. "I understand your frustration, Maximilian. The court's decision was unexpected and has certainly put a damper on our plans. However, we must tread carefully. Openly defying the court's ruling would only bring further scrutiny upon us."King Maximilian paced back and forth, his hands clenched in frust
