Winter Kingdom
Cassian In two hours, I will marry Rosa, the princess of the Autumn Kingdom, I don't love her, but since we were children, we were already engaged, and now the time has come for us to get married, in those times we didn't have the freedom to decide the direction of our lives, we were used as toys. I could even face my father to choose my destiny, but the person I had never loved was already gone. It had been a year since my mother passed away, that was my worst day of my life, nothing else mattered to me or my life, but when I saw the situations that my people live, it gave me courage to be a good king. Today, besides my wedding, is also my coronation. I decided I wanted both ceremonies on the same day.I was in my room getting ready, in no mood, no matter how hard I had tried to fall in love with Rosa, in fact, I kept trying for real, I couldn't, my heart had broken. I am taken out of my thoughts with a knock on my bedroom door, I get ready and send in whoever it is." Come on your highness, it's the bride who should be late, not the groom. " said the guard Alex, he is my best friend and also the only one I trust." Stop being boring, Alex. " I said with a sarcastic tone." Me? Boring? What the hell, and hurry up, I'm out here waiting for you, and change your face soon, you're getting married and not going to a wake. " He said leaving the room, leaving me alone.If I were in love with my fiancée, this would be my best day, but nothing is as we want it.Alex is the head of the palace guards, he is like my older brother, we have little age difference, he is 30 years old. With my mother dead, I only have Alex in my life, otherwise it is a total hell. A proof of this, is my father, the man I hate most in my life, because of him, my mother died, he was the one who killed her, but unfortunately, I have no proof of this.Me, I am an arrogant and cold man, who fears nothing in this life, and all that I have left that I care about is my kingdom and nothing else.I thought I could be happy again, but I was wrong, I loved a woman for whom I would give my life for, I was willing to call off my engagement to Rosa, but one day when I met Sanar in the garden. I totally regretted it, I found her kissing one of the guards, the rage overwhelmed me inside and I ended up sending that bastard to the medical wing of the palace. But the worst of it all was Sanem begging me, saying that he was the one who had grabbed her and she couldn't let go.I was impressed by the way she tried in every way to convince me that nothing was her fault. But to no avail, I told her I didn't believe her, that was the worst part, she said she never loved me, that she only wanted to marry me to become queen. And every time I went out to take care of some palace business, she would come in with the guards, how foolish of me to think that she was still a maiden, every time I wanted something other than kisses, she would tell me that it was not the right time.How foolish I was not to realize that I had fallen in love with a woman who didn't love me, but from now on, I will never fall in love again, no woman will ever use me to get what she wants, from now on, everything will change.I will no longer be deceived by anyone, nor will I be influenced by, my feelings. I will be bitter as a lemon, and will not allow anyone to try to get close to me, so as not to make room for disappointment. I have suffered enough in this life, and I don't want to suffer anymore.Now it's time to get married, I'm already at the ceremony site, only Rosa is missing and I should have known that she would be late, because of the delay I could even think that she had run away, but as I know that this is not possible, I just have to wait. The room she is getting ready is guarded by guards, to prevent anything from happening, after a few minutes, she arrives walking slowly through the floor covered with flowers of all kinds, so that the other duchesses could see what it was like to be a queen. For the few days that I lived with Rosa I realized that she likes luxury and humiliating those who have nothing.Finally she comes, to me, and the priest begins the ceremony, in a speech about faithfulness and loving until death." I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride " says the priestI kiss Rosa, but I feel nothing, I don't love her."Now let's go to the coronation of our new couple " said a priest again making a speech full of flattery about the former kings, and about me.After a few hours, I became King and was married, after five hours, the party was almost over, and I had had practically no fun, I just sat there, there was nothing to arouse my interest, a few minutes later we went to the wedding night.When dawn broke, I had a headache from thinking my life was changing, but I didn't feel alive. There was nothing in this life that would keep me here, and I am still trying to gain the trust of my subjects.I got up and took a shower, the day would be busy, when I was in the tub, which was made of stone, Rosa appeared to join me." You didn't even invite me to take a bath together, my love." she said, approaching me."There is no need to pretend Rosa, we know there is no love between us. Only in front of others do we pretend to be a couple in love."" But we can try. " she said, smoothing my face." We can't, because I don't want to."I got out of the tub and left her alone; I had many things that needed my full attention.Summer and Spring KingdomBellaThe two weeks have passed and now it is time for my wedding, I tried to get rid of myself but it was not possible, so I accepted my marriage, however I confess that the night I cried for everything that I will not experience. Time had passed so quickly that it was frightening to me, my life was changing and I didn't know what to expect, and that was frightening. I was already in the carriage, waiting for my time to come to enter the church full of fear.During the past weeks, Antony had shown himself to be a good person. I think I had been wrong about him during the garden walks, because he showed himself to be a gentleman. On one of these walks we kissed, I didn't feel anything, but that must be because we don't know each other well yet. I think that with time I might fall in love with him. In fact, I need to fall in love, I couldn't bear to live forever with a person I didn't love, it would be torture. Have a child with a man you don't love.I snap ou
{ Winter Kingdom}BellaI am now a married woman.After the party was over, it was time to leave for my husband's castle.But first, in my place, the coronation of me and my husband took place.Now there is no going back, I am definitely queen of both kingdoms.But that wasn't all that was worrying me, when I arrive at my newest home, my first time will take place.A great wedding night." Bella, my child, do me a favor here, I need to talk to you, my dear." Said my mother, leading me to my room, I suppose it's about my night." What's up mom, why did you bring me here?My in-laws will be leaving soon."I said, already sitting on my bed." I want you to be obedient to your husband and your mother-in-law, even though you are the queen, you know nothing about the kingdom.So take your time to learn all about it." I advise myself. I left the room walking quickly, so that we could leave.In the waiting room everyone was there saying goo
{Winter Kingdom}BellaI woke up with a strong smell in my nose." I'm glad you are well. " said one of the maids.There were three maids and one man I did not know." Pleased, Your Majesty, I am the castle healer, I have just examined you."Do I have something serious, sir?Perhaps this illness has come to rid me of the hell that is my marriage." On the contrary, madam, it has nothing to do with illness, but with a blessing: you are pregnant.When he finished speaking, a joy suddenly filled me. This child has come so that everything in my life can be resolved.The healer left, in writing, everything I could eat or drink to help with the pregnancy and the care I must take, then left.There was no one I could celebrate with now, the maids had gone about their business, and my in-laws were on a trip and would not return for two days. I was anxious to tell Antony that soon he would hold
{Winter Kingdom}Pov: Cassian Today is two months since I got married and I can't stand my wife anymore, every hour she wants to hold party thinks this is a party house, our riches come from our people. I've run out of patience. Every hour there are arguments between us, and I am always grateful when she goes out for a walk.Today is the day to visit the village, to see if everything is in order there, I like to see for myself how the life of my people is going. I want everything good for them, because it's from their hard labor that my wealth comes, and there is no king without his subjects. – Cassiano, it's time to go to the villages," said my father. He always makes a point of reminding me of my duties. Although I am the king he still follows me every day, it seems that he still wanted to rule. I have already learned that he is still doing certain things without my permission, but I didn't say anything, I didn't have time to deal with my father. But to tell you the truth, he di
{ Spring Kingdom}Pov: Bella I can't believe it's been two months since I got married, I thought married life would be better than what I'm living I barely talk to Antony, and when we start to have a conversation he barely talks to me and less than a minute he's already off to settle the kingdoms affairs. I tried everything to make us a couple, or friends, but nothing worked. I couldn't spend the rest of my life trying to make something better between us if he didn't want it to. I didn't have the strength for him to see that if we were friends we could come to various agreements. If we don't get to love each other, I wouldn't mind him sneaking around with someone else so that no one would know. For me to be badmouthed, being treated well by him would already please me, it would make my life easier enough that I wouldn't be worried about loving him or making him love me so that we could live a wonderful life. Of course the time would come to have an heir, in a fraction of a second m
{Spring Kingdom}BellaAfter a few minutes I decided to get off the horse to approach, I passed carefully so as not to be seen by the guards, if this happened it would be a disaster, a great rate of starting a war would be all the more serious, besides now, I am only queen of two kingdoms, they would surely ask me what I was doing there, and they would surely communicate to their superiors about me, something that cannot happen, I have enough problems to solve, I need one more. I don't want to cause a war over a flower.As beautiful as the flower is, I didn't want it to stain its name with the blood of soldiers. I didn't want it to be the cause of destruction, nor of breaking the peace contact that was established between the four kingdoms. It is about 5:00 in the afternoon and I am still sitting here on a log looking at the beautiful tree with its flowers almost ready, I close my eyes when a strong wind blows past me, when I open my eyes there he is again the Iceman, he was looking
{ Spring Kingdom}BellaTwo weeks ago I had seen the King of Winter and his face did not leave my head, as much as I tried to forget, always something could remind me of him, his serious face, his mouth, his smile and his posture of authority. I shook my head away any romantic thought, I could be feeling sensations I always wanted to have, but the feeling was being directed at the wrong person. But enough thinking about it, today my family comes to visit me and I hope that Esmeralda already comes along, she needed to solve some things in the kingdom before moving permanently here. I would never leave her there, and my friend for a long time. I need it now so you can vent and share my feelings and thoughts. She always knows how to say the right things at the right time that I need to hear. I also want to help you find a good husband, I myself will pay your dowry so that you can get married.I got up from bed to do my morning hygiene, the river-small was already ready Amber and Bruna h
{Primary Kingdom}Pov: BellaI regretted it when I married the man, who proved to be a person totally the opposite, of what he truly was in fact. Such regret totally consumes me with each and every day that passes, at his side.How could I have been so wrong, I should have suspected from the beginning, in his looks of repulsion directed at me, and I believed to be of enchantment for my person. The sweet manner in which we first met was a pretense, I could have kept an eye on his movements and actions. If I could go back in time the very moment I learned of the engagement I had screamed that I would not marry, and if I forced myself to, I would run away without looking back, I would do everything, but I would never climb on high to join him. Misery is even better than, live in luxury in the same environment as him. Being cold, hungry and humiliated is easier to put up with day after day, than living in this world of royalty.Where everything is artificial, nothing is real.But let me
