Prescott’s povI stood in front of the window, my back on Ulrica who sat on my bed with her leg crossed. She had a cup of popcorn in her hands, and she noisily munched on her popcorn, interrupting my thoughts.I signed and propped my elbow on the window. Gazing out of the window to see a bunch of people scurrying around the compound to get things done before the coronation would start.I could hear voices, coming from the room opposite mine. The room that has been empty for years will be occupied today, by the nation's Queen.The thought of having a woman closer to me, for the rest of my life, gave me a feeling of uncertainty.The wall clock kept tickling, reminding me that I would officially become a family man before the end of the day. “So, you wouldn't tell me who your wife is, would you?” Ulrica stopped munching on her popcorn, she dropped the cup on the nightstand table which made an annoying sound.“I have nothing to say to you.” I groaned, I checked my wristwatch and a light

Prescott’s povThe after-party ceremony took longer than I expected, I grabbed Randale’s daughter… No, I grabbed Nova’s hand and walked her out of the ceremony ground. The guests flashed us their best smiles, chanting, “Long live the King!”, “Long live the Queen!”Nova shyly lifted her hand, waving at the guests as we passed them by.I tightened my grip on her hand and she let out a muffled, hoarse yelp.We had taken off the mantle and we had changed into another outfit. Nova was clad in a black evening dress that revealed the upper part of her body, she looked uncomfortable considering that it was cold outside.I didn't know whose idea it was, but she was verily stupid for wearing such a dress in this weather.“Congratulations, your Majesty!” Aunt Velvena, my Dad's older sister and only sibling walked up to us with a wooden bowl in her hands. She stopped in front of Nova and flashed her a heartwarming smile. “Congratulations, dear, thank you for considering my nephew worthy enough

Nova’s pov“Good morning, your Royal Highness!” I tossed and turned on the bed before dragging my eyes open. My gaze landed on Anika who had a huge—bright smile plastered on her face.“Good morning,” I whispered before dragging my feet out of the thick duvet that was covering my body. “What’s the occasion?” I slid my feet into a pair of flip-flops that has been laid on the floor, my gaze not leaving Anika who stood before me with so much joy on her face.I moved my gaze away from Anika, to the maids who stood in a straight line with their hands intertwined to their backs.“Oh,” Anika beamed, she stretched out her hand towards the maids and smiled. “It’s your first day as the Queen. I brought the maids for you to choose from them and have your maids, someone who will be attending to your subjective maids, that will be with you all the time.” she expounded, her eyes not leaving me and I moved my gaze to the floor, I didn't want her to see the bags around my eyes.I couldn't believe I c

Nova’s povThe door was opened by a guard and I walked inside while Cinder waited outside, standing with the guard at the exit. The King's Hall dining was a feast for the senses. As I entered, I was struck by the excess of the space, from the marble floor to the gold-gilded arches overhead. The light from the stained glass windows cast a kaleidoscope of colours across the room, bathing everything in a magical glow. At the far end of the hall, a table had been set with platters mounded with food, ranging from succulent roasted meats to delicate pastries. The aromas were dizzying, tempting my appetite.“You’re here, your Highness!” I heard Aunt Velvena’s voice, coming from the inner part of the room.I turned towards where her voice was sounding from and I saw her walking out of a door, with a young lady beside her.The lady looked so much like her and I assumed the lady to be her daughter, Lady Everest.“Good morning, ma'am… Velvena.” I bowed slightly, my gaze on the lady who kept g

Prescott’s pov“Because I am the Queen! I am the Queen of this nation. If you can do as you wish because you're the King. I will also do as I wish because I am the Queen! Just as the king can exercise his authority, I too have the power to make decisions for the good of my people and you're not to question me because I never questioned your authority!”“No! You're wrong!” I barked at her, Nova moved away in shock, tears shimmered in her eyes as she stared back at me in utmost shock.I gripped her arm and made her look straight into my eyes. “I am the only one who has the power to do anything. I made you the Queen because I wanted to, not because you wished to. One word from me, and you'd be withdrawn from your post.” Nova flinched back in fear, terror was clearly shown on her face. Shock slapped her face when I forcefully pushed her to Wharton, she crashed into his chest and staggered backwards before standing straight.“In case you don't know, your life is no longer yours but mine.
