Two weeks later, after I had successfully convinced Kyler to postpone my wedding due to my diarrhoea, he made sure I didn't fall sick again. I hate how careful he is and having these female guards follow me around.They can't take their eyes off me, except when I'm changing or bathing. Right now, I'm watching the tailor help me with my gown. I wasn't permitted to wear white, and so I wore peach. It's an ugly colour and doesn't even fit my skintone."Isabelle?" I whispered to Stella standing beside me. She shook her head."She's been in His Majesty chamber all week, no-one has seen her," Stella replied, and I almost hit her for giving me such horrible news, but I stopped, those ladies wouldn't keep their eyes away, it's been Stella's only luck."You're good now, my lady," Rita, a student from the royal dress shop, said."It's the most ridiculous gown ever, i bet my soon to be husband is not going to love it," I said in the most sarcastic way, but she smiled, however and bowed, moving b

At first, it started with her being so uncomfortable in bed, rolling to and fro, and even taking up all the blankets, then she lost her sleep, and talked while I forced myself to get some sleep. In the morning, it was Victoria wedding, and I assumed that it was because of the wedding, but by the time I woke up, she sat up, staring at me angrily. I sat up and leaned to kiss, but she dodged it. I didn't want to fight, so I asked her if she would like to shower.Well, I spent hours explaining to her that I didn't mean to ignore her all night. An hour later; the author's POV(this is an extract from Isabelle's POV)"Did you change your perfume?" Isabelle asked, and I sniffed myself, looking at her, but she had this irritated face that made me almost pout. I didn't like she looked at me like I was some villain because I didn't let her attend Victoria's wedding. "What do you mean? I smell just the same," I said, but she turned her head to the other side, trying her best to not be rude, I

The morning came and Kyler wasn't in bed, Isabelle opened her eyes to the bright room and beautiful sunrise. She laid on the bed with her back staring at the ceiling, Isabelle yawned trying to get up, she picked Kyler's white robe and headed to the mirror. "Where did he go this morning?" She says, packing her hair up. ~THE QUEEN'S CHILD~FIVE YEARS LATER,"Aarhh" the woman lying on the bed screamed as she pushed. "I can't do this anymore, I'm tired I don't think I can make it" she said weakly.Ayn who stood by the side of the room with a bowl of water in her hand, froze."We are almost there Your Grace, you can't give up now not when the baby is almost out." Betty, the midwife and her assistant said. The room was covered in white as a tradition to ward off evil spirits and also for good luck, many clothes were all over the room. Queen Isabelle breathed in and with her last strength she pushed and there was a loud cry in the room as the baby was born. After the ba

"Oh my god! You don't know Richard, the artist? Are you serious?" Betty said. I have said this time over, and I don't know who Richard is, I don't care who he is. According to Betty, Ayn, and Kia, he is the biggest artist in Yodora, I didn't even know Yodora had artists and galleries. That's not my fault, Lakes didn't. We barely cared for those things, or instead, Victoria didn't care about paintings. For example, selling out all the paintings in the castle immediately after her fathers death, claiming it was ugly. Then, the following day, taking out the paintings in the store room and asking them to burn them, according to Victoria paintings, were boring and unrealistic, but that's fun. "Okay, did you know His Majesty, can paint? I heard he took painting as a hobby but dropped it after his mother died," Betty whined, "Sad," I looked back at her."Kyler took painting as a hobby?" I asked, and she nodded. "Ugh, tell me something he doesn't know how to do," I said, relaxing back in

"You have quite a taste, Your Highness, you have the most expensive—" "I'd take this," Isabelle said at the same time a lady behind us. We turned almost at the same time, finding a young lady dressed in black and covering her face with a black veil. She must be grieving. She must have lost her child.It's a tradition in Yodora to cover a black veil at the loss of either a husband and a child. However, a black mourning gown is for a child and a white for a husband."Hold on, did you say expensive?" Isabelle asked, looking at Richard. "I'd take this," the lady repeated, and our gaze shifted to her. Richard quickly rushed over, whispering words. Her eyes flashed quickly at us, and she lowered her head. "Your Majesties," Richard's brow raised, and he smiled too delightfully, almost like he accomplished something. "If I may, who are you?" I asked, her head remained lowered, and she wasn't a foreigner. Her manner is different, like she had lived in Yodora her whole life."Samantha, my L
