The Queen's Garden Novels & Stories

Inside the queen's room, there is a big open area with white walls covered in a silk flower print. There are paintings on the walls, and the floor is covered in plush, purple carpeting.

Together, they walked through the quiet hallway and into the garden where Elder Albert was waiting near the old stone fountain When the Queen saw him, she paused. Albert’s eyes softened instantly, his usual calm gone, replaced by something raw and unguarded.

’ He replied, making me think about Aurora again. ‘I chose Jade, and you need to get over it, especially when we mark each other after becoming King and Queen.’ I ended the link before he could even reply. I was just walking around the garden ruins thinking about Aurora and how much I suppose I do miss her, was the rejection a mistake? Could I take it back or has it been too long? Jade is the right call to become queen. Why, was I now only thinking about this after all this time? I suddenly looked up at the woman who could make me King, she had said something to me, but I was in such a deep thought that I didn’t even hear what she said.

Overcome with embarrassment, she could only silently repeat to herself: I’m here to discuss the contract, to discuss the contract, to discuss the contract! The two walked through the long garden corridor and arrived at the dining area. The grand hall before them was resplendent with gold and splendor, yet completely empty. It seemed Adrian had already dismissed everyone. This made Sarah’s heart race once more, and she felt extremely nervous.

“The king will take a new queen.” The phrase repeated in her mind until her heart began to ache. A new queen. A new woman to sit beside him, to smile at him, to raise Lucien — and perhaps one day, to bear another child. Her hand drifted once more to her belly. “What about you?” she whispered to the life growing inside her. “What place do you have in his world now?” Her tears fell silently onto the soil.

David nodded and then walked out after him. It didn't take long before Knox found the location where the Queen mother was. He walked through the narrow road that led to the garden ignoring the lake around. "Where's she?" He asked as he approached the maid who was watering the plants. "She's at the garden wheels my lord," She hurriedly bowed her head in respect. Knox nodded then walked by her without saying a word, only a look of indifference was on his face.

I stopped on the landing and started to take off my sandals. “Wait for me here,” I told the knight as I placed my slippers beside the staircase. He stood in position and in an instant he seemed like a statue, sculptured as a decoration my mother picked to guard the stairwell. I took a step forward and felt the grass and earth beneath my feet. The dirt and soil under me felt freeing and reminded me of my mother. The vines grew out and the flowers bloomed in her garden, the weeds and wildflowers also started to appear. My father couldn’t have the strength to go here for this place reminded him of her so much. Since the Queen died, the garden became a place that nature started to retrieve.
