"You appear to have settled in well here, Queen Nia," I exclaimed, to which she responded with a smile.
"We've come to express our regret for what we've done. "We were wrong in what we did to you."
There seemed to be an interminable pause. Then she gave a wink. The royal elegance has been replaced by a sense of mischief. Her actions were completely incomprehensible to me. I would have made the other person sweat and demonstrated my dominance over them.
"I should be enraged at you, but for some reason I'm not," she admitted, her voice full of candor.
"Please accept Queen Nia's apologies, Lady Jasmine."
This time, the anticipation was even greater. Her cheeks were becoming increasingly flushed. For a split second, I thought she was going to say no.
"I'm sorry, Queen Nia," she said, a slight bend of her head indicating her regret.
"You must put your hands on her feet," I instructed."That is not necessary," Queen Nia exclaimed, taki"I'd like to see the entirety of the kingdom." "I need to get a sense of what Beastie is in charge of," I announced the following day. I was evolving into a woman with lofty aspirations. What a difference from working a low-wage job for fourteen hours a day, seven days a week, with no weekends or holidays. "Are you certain? "Your Majesty, it appears that you are not feeling well."I snorted when I heard their reply. They could be a little too formal. "Come on, ladies. Let's get this party started." "I'm not going to let a little bug get the better of me for long." I needed to get a sense of what this world was like before I returned home. Instead of being consumed by all of these conflicting thoughts and emotions, I decided to be more active. As if it were a wonderful dream, I needed to make the most of it while it was still in my possession. "It is entirely up to you, Queen Nia. Please hold on a moment. "We'll get a horse ready for you." "Does
“But she needs me.” “Be King, please, do not be a baby.” He wanted to argue, but her look froze his words. “I will be right outside the door. Call me if you need me, Queen Nia. Do not you worry about a thing. I am with you.” “Thank you, Beastie,” I whispered. I licked my lips. His anxiety was rubbing on me. I wanted him at my side, but I was too scared to suggest it. "Men," she muttered angrily.It took the midwife an hour and a half to examine me. The procedure was intrusive and humiliating for the participants. What kind of woman would allow someone to probe her like that?Queen Nia asked, a grin on her face, showing her toothless and dark gums. "Do you get sick in the mornings?" she inquired, a grin on her face. "Yes, the healer was aware of my presence. He believes that the water is in disagreement with me. It's not a big deal at all. "Do I have a serious illness?" I wonder. That was a terrifying thought to have. she
I really wanted them to leave right now, but I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. What were they thinking at the time? I really wanted to throw them away.The ladies flitted around, attempting to make me feel comfortable and ready for the day. I was unable to find even a single moment of tranquility, however. After passing through the trees, the full moon was visible high in the sky above us. It served as a timely reminder that the clock was ticking. The next full moon would be in a month's time. This was becoming increasingly unfair.What a waste of time. This was not going to be a particularly memorable night, I reasoned. "Queen Nia, I hope you have a pleasant and restful night," Lady Alana said, a wink in her eye. "Yes, sweet dreams, my fair queen," Lady Josephine agreed, her voice echoing the others. When they were together, they could be a sadistic pair. I could hear the laughter and snickers of the ladies for a mile as they walked back to t
"Can you tell me what's wrong with you, Lady Jasmine?" I was starting to get irritated. I was on the verge of imprisoning Lady Jasmine and subjecting her to hard labor. It might help her to come to her senses. She was putting my friendship to the test to the extreme. "I was under the impression that we were friends." She was just as enraged as I was with her. I thought to myself, "Well, that's unfortunate." It was imperative that we all do what was best for the father kingdom."We've been friends since we were born." "We'd always be friends," says the author. It turned out to be true. I was perplexed as to what had gotten her so worked up in the first place. If you value me, you should stop seeing Queen Nia, she said, her voice brimming with emotion. "Do you think I'm joking? "Do you think you're a child?" There was so much at stake that I couldn't afford to give in to her unreasonable demands. If I did anything to cause a rift in our family's alliance, my
I was beyond happy. I was a blessed woman. Even in my wildest dreams I did not think I would have so much good fortune. Good things happened to good people. Who knew? It is almost morning, and I was in his arms, savoring every precious second. He was stroking my back. At this moment, I knew I was loved, even though we did not voice it aloud. I hoped he would say to me those four magical letters. I did not think it would be long. I could say it first, but I wanted him to do it. “I had to go, my fair queen,” he said. But he did not move. He barely looked like a beast. Sure, there was hair, but it was like a slightly hairy man, nothing too disgusting. All I wanted nowadays is to be with him. How he looked did not matter to me. My attraction to him went way beyond his surface beauty. He was such a nice man. “Stay.” I yawned and held on to him tighter. “You do not want to see me at daytime.” “Do you want to bet?” I gave light kisses on his jaw. It
I took off running. The final image depicted the beast king battling the monster on his own. From my room, I could hear the terrible sounds of a fight. I felt terrible for putting him in such a difficult position. It seemed like an eternity before he returned. I could tell he was in a lot of pain. "Show me your scars," says the doctor. I was in a state of panic. "I'm in good health." I desperately wanted to follow him, but he had barricaded himself inside his wing. I forced down the breakfast. I was not hungry, but I had to think of the baby. I was terrified that something bad might have happened to the beast king. I could not help but caring about the beast king. I was unable to hate him for long periods. “Amy wants to see you, Queen Nia,” Lady Alana said with a twinkle. “Who is she?” “She wants some words of wisdom. It is known in the entire kingdom that you are wise and kind. I do not see it,” Lady Alana joked. Of co
It was nearly morning, and he struggled, wanting to bolt. No way, I thought. I held on tight. We were not going to stay apart because of some curse. Hiding away was over. “I need to go,” he said and pushed with slight force. He watched my unyielding face and shook his head. “I saw your transformation. It does not bother me even a little bit.” I was lying, but it was for a good cause. We were bounded together no matter how he looked. I would not run from any of his forms. He pushed me away, but I hung on like a leach. That had him trying all the tricks. He tickled my sides, but my will power kept strong. This was not a game. Of course, if he really wanted, then he was powerful enough to break free. I was confident he would never do that to me. He would give in to my wishes. He would always make sure I was happy. I knew because I would do the same for him. “You are hurt. I am not letting you spend the day in some dank and dark min
The land grew wider and wider while the ride got harder and harder. The air was dry, and I was sweating under the hot sun. I considered turning back. But I was not a quitter. My lust for adventure and my stubbornness would kill me one of these days. Not this time, I thought with a smile. Whenever the beast king gave me a worried glance, I smiled in reassurance. I was not going to show weakness to him. We decided to take a break under a shady tree after the constant complaining by Princess Viviana. I was proud of myself for lasting longer than the local princess. I watched the beast king and Princess Viviana ready the meal. They turned my help away. They were not fooled by my bravery. The beast king and Princess Viviana were so comfortable and normal with each other. Even the accident touches did not make them flinch or made them uneasy. Even a slight attraction should have resulted in some awkwardness. To my eyes, they were behaving more like brother and sister. Thei
