Fiona's pov I couldn't look him in the eye. I felt undeserving of his hugs and kisses. When he threaded our fingers together, I wanted to pull away in disgust for myself and when he called me dear, I felt like falling to my knees to seek forgiveness.Jarek's brown eyes still bore warmth towards me, he had believed when I said my tears were from being overwhelmed by healing the king.He had told me how proud he was of me and how my skills would soon be acclaimed all around.I let him lead me to our favorite spot, my head was on his shoulder when he pulled me down and he placed his palm against my back comfortingly.The morning breeze blew gently, caressing my skin lightly just as Jarek touched me. The sun was rising steadily, spreading bright rays across the sky.It was a beautiful atmosphere but my heart was heavy with guilt and my tongue couldn't find any words nor were my eyes able to view the Beauty.He had tried requesting what exactly had happened in there but

Fiona's pov It was almost dusk when Lyanna dismissed me. I had stood for hours in the corner of her room watching her get prepared for the banquet and only after taunting me further did she let me go.I got out of her chambers, making my way out of the building with a heart clustered with dark emotions. I didn't even have time to sit in a corner and empty my teary eyes, I had to go and prepare for the banquet myself.My steps took me across the fields making way for the slave quarters. On getting closer, I could already see Maura waiting for me at the entrance.Her hand was raised when she caught sight of me, waving at me to hurry up and I quickened my pace."Good evening Maura." I greeted her the moment I got to her, "Sorry I am late.""No need to be sorry." Her tone was sad, "I know that woman must have kept you waiting. Quick, you need to head to the palace now, hurry up and bade your child goodbye then meet me in my chamber."I nodded at her words and made my

Fiona's pov Octavius stopped before the door at the end of the corridor and with a sweep of his gaze, he ensured that no one had been following us before pushing the door open and pulling me inside.I was at the centre of the room, my gaze landing on the one bed in it with alarm running through me. I looked at, his back was turned to me as he faced the door.I heard him pushing the key into the hole and with three turns of the key and three clicks, the door was sealed against the entrance trapping both of us in.And then he spun around.He had his eyes locked on me, fingers curled to form fists with his jaw clenched portraying his fiery.I averted my gaze, looking down at my feet for I felt a foreign warmth within me from the way he looked at me, "You shouldn't have done that.""Done what?" He asked."What you did at the table. Killing that man. I had it all under control."His facial features morphed into that of surprise and then a dark chuckle came from him like

Fiona's povThere was chaos and in the midst of it all I was the solution, against my will.And so here I was, hands by my side with sweat breaking on my skin. The stench of blood permeated the air and sickly groans could be heard through the walls.It was a dire case that needed urgent attention but it didn't seem so to the ministers as they were all their knees, heads bent and palms stretched out with their voices echoing in unison, "It's impossible. Please reconsider, your majesty."I almost laughed. It was ironic how people who were appointed for the people's welfare were very much against their well being when it had to do with me being involved.Lyanna was also present, her peacock feathers once standing in pride had fallen in shame due to the catastrophic destruction of the banquet in her honour.Her eyes blazed with fury, "Your majesty, listen to your ministers. We cannot have her look after your people!""Your majesty." They all echoed in unison again, like a spell had been c

Octavius's pov That woman had managed to trip me to my fall and she had the guts to take off, running with her skirts flapping behind her.I growled, folding my fingers to form fists. I sniffed because of the blood trickling down my nose from the impact of hitting my face in the ground.But as the saying goes; there's good in every bad and so there was good in my fall. The effect of it had rid me off my reaction to Fiona, something I had been trying to get rid off and it didn't help matters, me putting her against me again.I groaned, lifting myself off the ground. I untied the cloth over my face and wiped my nose with it while fighting the urge to march up to where I knew she would be and teach her a lesson for what she just did.Don't even think of it, Ragnar snickered, you got what you deserve.Oh please, I hissed at him, like I asked for any of these?!You took her in captivity of your own will so yes, you did ask for these, He snorted at me.I ignored him
