Alle Kapitel von The love of a King : Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

I walked through the hallways of the castle. The place had little illumination because of the torches that had been lit. I had just informed princess Ella that dinner has been served. But instead of heading back to the kitchen, I walked along the hallways which was where the royal quarters resided. I found myself staring at the paintings as I walked. I got to a particular painting which was that of the late king. He was known to be very ruthless and cruel. Like all kings I suppose. He had very handsome features and he definitely passed them unto his children. "What are you doing here?" A cold voice sounded from behind me. My heart started to beat very fast. I turned around slowly and my eyes widened when I saw who it was. It was the King! I immediately dropped my eyes to avoid his sight. " I said what are you doing here?" His voice sounded much calmer but I could feel his eyes piercing through my soul. "I'm sorry your majesty. I just got lost." I said. It wasn't a lie, I got si

Darkness! that's all I could see. Then suddenly a white light approached me. It got closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, I found myself outside my house, at least what remained of it. My house was in flames!I screamed but couldn't hear my voice. I saw my sister staggering out of our home, clutching her chest. She fell onto the ground. I ran towards her but I couldn't see clearly. I was surrounded by heavy black soot. "Help!" I could hear my sister call out weakly. I tried to run, but for some reason, I couldn't get to her.Jolting up in fear, I woke up to see that it was morning. My heart was pounding hard, my breathing was harsh. "It was just a nightmare." Aurora mumbled. I fell back down in my bed. I rarely had nightmares, and when I do, it was a sign. And this nightmare in particular was very frightening.Getting up, I got ready for the day. I later realized that my sister, Gwen, had left for somewhere. My parents weren't around so I was the only one at home. My mother Is

At the Harson's; They got back home a few minutes later. Gwen was really excited. She couldn't believe that she actually saw the King. He was so handsome! For some reason she felt giddy inside. She immediately scolded herself. She couldn't be a acting like other girls in the village."How was it?" Mrs Harson asked. "It was very interesting." Gwen replied happily. "Didn't you like it Aurora?" Mrs Harson asked her youngest daughter."It was okay." I replied casually. Gwen stared at her mother. She couldn't believe that her parents had a debt to pay and they acted as if everything was alright. She just hopes everything goes back to normal. "Girls! Come help me make dinner." Mrs Harson called which made Gwen come back to reality. Aurora and Gwen then went to the kitchen to help their mother but with different thoughts running through their minds. At the Royal palace;King Alexander was sitted on his throne in the meeting room. On his right was his trusted assistant George. A man th

Three days later;The kingdom of Devon was currently mourning the death of their prince. The news was announced two days ago. The people were shocked by the news, they all wondered how it happened, until they found out that he died on the battlefield. The head of the army declared a week of mourning for the late prince. None of the royal family members came out to address the kingdom. It was quite understandable. The people lit lanterns in the sky for the deceased. It was a very sad day for them. The person who took the news very badly was princess Ella. She had locked herself in her room since she heard the news and only came out for his funeral. She found it hard to believe. Martha got to the princess's chambers and knocked. "Princess Ella, can I come in?" She asked. Princess Ella hadn't eaten since yesterday morning and even her last meal was very little. She was getting really worried. She couldn't tell Queen mother Miranda because she was in the exact same state. King Alexand

Evening time came and Aunt Christiana's husband had arrived. He and my father chatted about many things after dinner. Aunt Christiana sons, Sam and Scott weren't back yet. Sam was the youngest while Scott was two years older than he was and Scott was a year younger than Gwen. It's been long I've seen them and I wondered where they were. The door opened and two men came in. The younger one had blonde long hair and striking blue eyes. He was quite good looking and had a well built body. The other which was the oldest had brown hair and a charming face. He also had a nice body frame like his brother. "Mom, we're home." Scott said. "There you two are. You got me very worried." Aunt Christiana said in relief when she saw her sons. "We're sorry mom, you know how our job is like." Sam said with a smile. "And who are you two." Mr Harson said with a look of suprise. He couldn't believe he was staring at his nephews. They were even taller than he was now."Uncle Chris, You're here! It's bee
