BK 1 - 021: The reality of everything

Tristan's POV"Dreams can be strange," I replied, forcing myself to take another bite of food."That's what I thought," she said, nodding slowly. "But it felt so real that I kept thinking about it when I woke up."I looked down at my plate, hoping she wouldn't notice how uncomfortable I had become."Maybe you were thinking about someone before you fell asleep," I suggested, trying to sound uninterested.She shook her head. "I don't think so. I was reading, and I don't even remember falling asleep."I stopped eating.She had fallen asleep in the library, just as I remembered."Did you see the person's face?" I asked before I could stop myself."No." She tilted her head slightly, studying me. "Why are you asking?""Just curious."She narrowed her eyes a little, and I picked up my glass to take another drink."Actually," she continued, "I was wondering if dreams like that mean anything.""Not necessarily.""Have you ever had a dream like that?"I looked at her, caught off guard by the qu

BK 1 - 022: A visit from Ashmoor

Iris's POVI was sitting in the sitting room with Chloe when someone knocked on the door. She stood up to answer it, and I continued reading the book in my hands, hoping whoever it was wouldn't take too long."My lady, there's a messenger here asking to see you," Chloe said as she turned to me, looking a little confused.I closed my book and raised my head. "A messenger? From where?""He's from Ashmoor, and he says he has a letter for you."My fingers tightened around the book.Ashmoor?I immediately knew it was from my brother, Ethan and the thought of receiving a letter from him made me feel uncomfortable. I hadn't heard from my brother in a while, and I wasn't sure whether I wanted to know what he had to say."Tell him to come in," I said, placing the book on the table.A few seconds later, Chloe returned with a young man dressed in the clothes of a royal messenger. He bowed when he saw me, then reached into his bag and brought out a folded letter."Lady Iris, I was asked to deliv

BK 1 - 023: Still no trust

Iris's POVI read the letter twice, hoping I had misunderstood something, but the words remained the same.My brother was asking me to help him again.After everything he had done, he still expected me to put the Willow family first, and the worst part was that he had written as if I owed him that much.I folded the letter slowly, trying to keep my expression calm."What does it say?" Tristan asked, watching me closely."Nothing important," I replied, placing the letter on the table.His eyebrows drew together. "Iris."I looked at him. "What?""Don't lie to me. I saw your face while you were reading."I turned away and walked toward the window, hoping he would stop questioning me."He's asking me to talk to you about the agreement," I said, keeping my voice calm. "That's all.""Then why did you look so upset?""I'm not upset."He let out a short breath and moved closer. "What has he done to you this time?"I turned around, frowning at him. "What are you talking about?""Your brother h

BK 1 - 024: Political hostage

Tristan's POVI was going through the reports on my desk when Jonathan knocked and walked into my study."Your Majesty, Elder Roderick has arrived," he announced, holding a folder to his chest. "He says he needs to discuss the winter preparations and the northern borders with you."I looked up from the papers and nodded. "Send him in."Jonathan bowed and left, returning a few moments later with Elder Roderick behind him. The old man greeted me with a bow before taking the seat I offered him."Your Majesty, I apologize for coming without much notice," Roderick said, placing a folder on the desk. "But there are a few matters we need to settle before winter arrives.""That's fine," I replied, closing the report in front of me. "What seems to be the problem?"He opened the folder and brought out several documents, arranging them neatly on the desk before speaking."The northern border needs more guards, and some of the watchtowers require repairs. We also need to make sure the villages ha

BK 1 - 025: Her freedom

Tristan's POV I put my pen down and leaned back in my chair. "If you dislike the arrangement so much, you can stop complaining and accept the situation." Her eyes widened slightly, and she let out a short, humorless laugh. "Accept it? My lord, I never asked to stay in your private quarters in the first place." "Then what's the problem? You're already here, and you have everything you need." She shook her head, clearly frustrated by my answer. "Everything I need? I don't even have the freedom to leave the palace whenever I want." I stared at her, feeling my patience begin to run out. "You know why you can't leave." "Yes, I do, and I would gladly leave if you would let me." Her words caught me off guard, though I tried not to show it. "Is that what you want?" I asked, keeping my voice low. "To leave?" She looked at me for a moment before answering. "Would it matter if I said yes?" I clenched my jaw and looked away, irritated. "You're making this more diffi
