The King's virgin bride 52. Unforgivable Mistake
Henry's face tightened at Frederick's words; he looked at him with contained hatred, his fingers clenched into two strong fists until the color of his knuckles changed."Who the hell do you think you are to decide about my life?" he growled with anger, while Frederick looked at him with cold calmness."I am your king.""And to hell with that!" he squawked, standing up violently, so much that the chair fell to the floor. Henry's features were distorted, his teeth clenched so tightly that it seemed he might lose them at any moment."Control your temper and your tongue," advised Frederick, standing up with grace and elegance."You know very well that I am the rightful owner of the throne you occupy," he growled. "Don't you dare try to dictate my life, Frederick."A loud thud was heard; it was the king's fist hitting the hard and fine wood of his desk."You were disinherited and removed from the succession line by our grandfather, Henry, whether you like it or not, I am the King of Astor,

Selene tried to inquire a bit more, but Samantha remained tight-lipped about it. Eventually, Selene gave in and engaged in conversation with the young princess about the preparations for her upcoming party, just around the corner. The topic of the princess's future suitor was left behind, but Selene couldn't stop pondering. She genuinely hoped that Frederick would find a good man for her sister because, despite being a bit stubborn, she was not a bad woman and deserved a beautiful and pure love like the one Selene was experiencing with her future husband. They spent a few hours together, trying to get to know each other. Samantha set aside her sadness momentarily when she shared some amusing experiences with the animals on her uncle's farm. This surprised Selene, as the princess appeared so delicate. Imagining her playing and working with animals was a contrasting image but seemed very entertaining and interesting to Selene. Selene left Samantha's room, but the idea that the Duke the

"I can swear to you that Frederick has not sighed for you in a long time."Regina didn't want to believe Henry's words, however, Frederick had behaved distant when he greeted her; his eyes no longer sparkled as before. The woman experienced a hollow feeling in the pit of her stomach and had to sit down to avoid falling flat on her face.Henry looked at Regina's pale face and felt pleased."This is your only chance to become a queen one day," he said, testing the ground he was treading on.Regina looked at him without understanding."How can you say such a thing? Married to you, I can only aspire to be the Duke's wife.""I am the legitimate heir, Regina."She looked at him."That doesn't make you a possible heir unless..." Regina opened her eyes, understanding what Henry was referring to."You're with me or against me, you decide, My Lady," he said seriously and with a hint of irony.Regina had no chance of refusing; her father had already reached an agreement with Frederick, and thing

Marcus stood up upon seeing his uncle appear, accompanied by the King, to whom he gave a short bow. "I will be delighted to be your host tonight, Marquis," said Frederick. "The honor is mine, Your Majesty," exclaimed the man with a slight nod of his head. Frederick gave Marcus a brief look and left the room. "Everything okay?" Marcus asked as he remained alone with his uncle. The man looked at him with an intensity that scared him. "His Majesty and I had many matters to discuss, Marcus. Some more important than others, but we have reached a magnificent agreement," he expressed. Marcus nodded. "So, are we staying?" the young man asked, sitting next to the Marquis. "You heard it, and I don't intend to displease the King, so I ask you to maintain composure. If you can delight us with one of your beautiful melodies, I will be more than grateful to you." "You're behaving more seriously than usual. Is there something I need to know?" Marcus questioned. The Marquis shook his head.

Samantha felt tempted to run away, but the Queen's hand prevented her when it settled on her shoulder."I don't want to be here," Sam murmured so low that no one would have heard her if her mother hadn't been so close."Samantha, please, your brother has an important announcement," the queen refuted in a low tone. She, too, was pained to have to marry her daughter so soon. They had barely spent a few weeks together, and she was practically sending her away. However, she preferred that to her daughter falling into Henry's hands. Everything was for her well-being, and she trusted that the man her son had chosen was the one Sam needed by her side."Please, take a seat," Frederick insisted, and Samantha had no choice but to sit next to her mother, while Marcus walked beside his uncle."Your Majesty, please continue," the man requested, keeping his attentive gaze on the princess. A gaze that Sam felt as if it were burning her skin."The Borja family and the Royal family will unite very soo
The King's virgin bride 57. The Princess's Birthday
Samantha felt a shiver run through her body and a lump lodged in her throat, but the desire to see with her own eyes what she heard was stronger and drove her to take the necessary steps to go down the stairs, only that, when she reached the bottom, her brother was waiting for her and Henry was already walking away, taking Regina by the arm, without a single glance at her."Are you ready?" Frederick asked as he joined her."Does it matter?" She questioned without looking at her brother. Samantha smiled at the couple passing by, pretending everything was fine, when in reality all she wanted was to run out and lock herself in her room."Samantha..."I'm ready to get on with all this, Your Majesty," she muttered without seeing him.Frederick clenched his fists at his sister's attitude; However, he was content with the fact that the features of his face did not reflect his dissatisfaction with the feast. The last thing he wanted was for suspicion to be aroused among the guests."Your Maj

Selene ended up on the side of the garden, away from the gaze of the guests, her stomach protested when she tried to calm down, but she couldn't and lost the battle. Gagging was heard and Frederick had to look back to be sure no one was following him."Selene," he called."I'm sorry, I can't contain myself," she muttered, her face red and her lips pale with vomit."Don't apologize, honey. It's my fault, I should have warned you not to be served wine tonight," he rebutted, kneeling down to be beside her."I couldn't even taste it, the smell was too much," he said, caressing her belly, which was left with discomfort and a horrible taste in her throat. The worst thing is that it has passed in front of many guests, I'm afraid they might be suspicious," Selene added worriedly.Frederick had completely forgotten about the guests, and if anyone had heard Selene's gagging, rumors would soon emerge and his fiancée's name would be in question, which he could not allow.The gentle footsteps on t
The King's virgin bride 59. You Can't Ask Me That
Frederick looked Selene in the eye and the happiness was overwhelming at the time, however, now what mattered most was knowing the care they needed to take from now on."What are the precautions to follow?" The king asked, for Selene was unable to say anything.The doctor did not take long to give the explanations and suggestions so that the couple could carry the pregnancy on the best possible terms, in addition, it was evident that the symptoms were going to be strong at least the first months and the future queen could not remain ill."I'll keep an eye on the whole process and please, any strange discomfort, don't hesitate to call me," the doctor asked and Selene nodded. It will be a healthy baby, My Lady, don't worry.Joy, euphoria and fear took hold of Selene at the confirmation of her suspicions, she could not expect any other kind of news when she had been with Frederick so many times, that she had lost count of the nights they gave themselves over to passion, without any preca
