Queen's Garden Novels & Stories

Theron stared at her, weighing her words. The hum faded… but something else replaced it. A distant noise carried through the stone corridors, guards shouting, a woman’s gasp, a surge of frantic footsteps. Renna stiffened. “What now?” Theron opened the door, and a messenger nearly collided with him, breathless and pale. “Elder Theron, Renna, the Queen, she, ” “Spit it out,” Renna snapped. “She’s outside!” the guard gasped. “The Queen is in the garden, and she’s not alone.”

Dozens of the variously coloured flowers stood proudly, facing towards the stairs to the entrance of the estate they were walking towards. A gardener made a hasty bow when the Queen passed by, almost trembling at her presence. They walked past the round hedge he had been trimming carefully. “I quite like those lilies” The Queen observed, pointing at the bright white kind. Even though Jane doubted she knew the names for any of the trees or plants, Tristan’s mother was very keen on pointing out the most pretty - and most nourished flowers. It had become dizzying to keep up with, and Jane sighed in relief once they stepped off the narrower path and onto the main walkway.

Mary followed him as she always did when they walked around the castle grounds. “What are the gardens?” she asked as they walked between the buildings. “It’s really just a big garden that some queen a long time ago built. But it’s divided into several departments, so you say the gardens,” Zerden replied. “These days, there’s almost no one there, only the ladies-in-waiting,” he continued. Mary got nervous. What if the ladies-in-waiting were there now? “What if they find us? We probably shouldn’t go there,” she said.

he conveyed a half-shrug, "how do we get to Adler? How do we grab his attention? How do we make him play this game?" Kyra listened. "The answer is a little white flower, which he has kept in a vast garden, and each day, he tells her the world is hers." Kyra's froze. "And that flower," Ruslan smirked, "Is about to lose its petals!" Fuck! Kyra dug into her pocket, fumbling desperately for her phone as Rune's puzzled pupils grazed her cursing frame.... "What's going on?" "Lily," she pressed the phone to her ears, "We need to get Lily..."

I’d committed her scent to memory in just three days so I traced her to the garden of the main palace. She froze once I entered with Cedric as if she too could scent me. She pretended not to notice us as we entered the garden but I watched her like a hawk, as did Cedric. “Hello,” I called, forcing her to look at us. “Nice weather, eh?” “I greet Your Majesty the Luna Queen.” She gave a bow, raising her head before I said anything. “I was about to leave the garden so if you will excuse me –“ Cedric blocked her before she finished speaking.

Soon, we arrived at a huge door that would most definitely lead to the garden where the queen was waiting. As I expected, once the door was pushed open, we stepped into another new world. A place blessed with nature's gift. There were countless types of flowers, though they look mainly like ones for beautification and not one to actually take home with. I saw the queen sitting at the far end of the garden, in front of her painting. She turned around once she heard our footsteps, and on seeing me, a smile broke out on her face. She looked so beautiful, having the eyes of the Alpha Twins themselves.

“Even if there’s some trouble going on, I believe I can find a few minutes to enjoy the garden. After all, isn’t that one of the perks of being a Queen? To have a little bit of freedom every now and then?” The other two guards let out a gentle laugh, but they still stood firm in their decision. The friendly one, who had a smile that was both warm and welcoming, added, “You understand how things are, my Queen. We have a duty to protect you and keep you safe. We can maintain some space between us, but we will be nearby to make sure you are safe and secure.” I let out a deep breath, as I looked at the door that opened up to the beautiful flowers and greenery outside.

Now, they were standing in a world with no walls, no rules, and a Dark Queen standing before them. "The Gardener called us weeds," Selene said, her voice rising, carrying over the wind. "She wanted to prune us. She wanted to make us quiet and pretty. But weeds are the only things that survive when the garden dies. Weeds are the ones who tear down the walls. And I am the Queen of the Weeds." She raised the crown of thorns high. The red light flared, casting long, twisted shadows across the ground. "Kaima has no crown," Selene pointed at me. "She has no fire. She gave it all away to save a man who is already a ghost of a dead era. She gave it away to a machine that tried to delete her. She is

⸻ High above the gardens, hidden among stone gargoyles no one thought to watch, a cloaked figure pressed a communication crystal closed between two fingers, careful, unhurried, like they had all the time in the world. One sentence, murmured low enough that the wind nearly swallowed it. “The Chosen Queen is carrying the Eclipse heirs.” The crystal flashed once and went dark, its light gone as quickly as it had come. Somewhere far from that garden, someone smiled, unseen and unbothered, already moving toward whatever came next. ⸻ Guards flooded the gardens as we turned to head back toward the palace … not around us, but past us, sweeping the walls with a purpose that had nothing to do with esc

There’s no point in arguing with an unknown girl who’s managed to capture the attention of royalty. After dinner, the queen and king decided to take Rara for a stroll around the palace garden, hoping the fresh air would aid digestion. The garden was a lush, sprawling expanse of greenery dotted with vibrant flowers and intricately manicured hedges. The centerpiece of the garden was the Tree Lamp, an impressive structure that resembled a colossal, ancient tree. At night, it bathed the surroundings in a warm, golden light. “Chihara, right?” the king’s voice cut through the tranquil evening air.
