Cosmo tried to comport himself but the smile on the council man's made him uneasy. "Why have I been summoned!" He inquired from the guards. " All information will be made known to you once you see the king"replied the council man. " You must learn to know your place. I did not direct any question to you"said Cosmo giving the council man a hostile look. " You shouldn't keep the king waiting" said the council man. Cosmo gave him a mean stare before he shut his door and left for the court room. They followed from behind with no one uttering any word. As they walked down the hall ways, Cosmo's mind wandered off. He was lost in his thoughts. The fear that he had been disc

"You work too much,in few weeks time you will be due for delivery. You should consider taking a break to prepare" said one of the nicest customers who bought materials from the shop where Yennifer worked.She was a middle aged woman with the nicest of smiles and kindest of attitudes. She would drop by  sometimes even when she did not need any supplies to spend sometime with Yennifer. She knew how boring it was to work all alone in a shop. In their discuss,they talked about parenting,weening and other similar things. She never bothered Yennifer with the question of who was responsible for her pregnancy because she found it quite appropriate. To the best of her knowledge,Yennifer was a nice girl and that was enough for her to be kind to her. There was also a Mrs Bee. She was the young mistress to one of the most influential men in the kingdom. She loved the materials from John's shop and so she stoppe

I wanted to move away from the door but fear had gotten strong hold of my legs. It was as if my feet were glued to the entrance of John's house. Goose bumbs took dominion over my fragile soft skin. I could not imagine what was going on inside the house. Whoever the lady was,I hoped that she was safe and no harm had come to John as well.The footsteps became much closer and I could hear my heart beat. It was as if it had an amplifier connected to it. Shadows could be seen appearing larger and larger thanks to the dimly lit lights from John's living room.I could see another shadow emanate from behind the one which was coming close to the door. There were muffing sounds as it was clear that the lady was gasping for air. One minute I had thought that it had something to do with John but then a thought came to my mind. It could have been the mysterious man. He might have lost patience and had come for John. The thought scared me but it still could not explain why there was a woman in t

"What was that?" Some one questioned. I held my breath. It was as though doing so would rememdy anything."You kept a woman in my house and now you act like no one else other than myself is in this house." Said John. I knew that he heard the sneezing too and was trying to cover up for us."I thought you had her locked up" the strange man questioned. I was beginning to grow curious of his identity. Definitely he had a name and a primary goal. I still wanted to know what connected him to John and who the insane lady in the house was."Dismiss now and do as I have ordered each and everyone of you" he commanded. In no time,the men departed from John's house. We could hear them howl and growl. They backed too. I feared for the danger that awaited the villagers all because of me.My fingers were crossed as I hoped that they would not visist the nice lady's house."Be on guard" the man ordered John before he led his pack into the woods. John stood in front of his house for minutes. He faced

"That was the last thing I expected to hear. The last time that I was addressed as queen Yennifer was when I was still at the palace. I was too afraid to see whoever had called me by that name. I doubted if Andrew knew that I was a queen because I had not made this known to John.I did not look but but only struggled with the tension that was building up within me. The footsteps could be heard. The man came closer to us."You majesty he said" I had no other option than to look at him. I was sure that Andrew had no idea of what was happening. "Is this really you? You left the palace when the king needed you the most. My goodness! You are almost due for delivery. The king has been worried si
