Adrian and Serena walked side by side into the large beautifully decorated dining room, thankfully they were both seated together and Stephen had to sit beside his older sister, Lisa, who wasn’t still speaking to him. Every royal had to take their seats before everyone else was allowed to sit, ”you may all take your seat” Queen Elena said as everyone else started to take their seats.“I welcome you all to the first winter ball hosted in the North ever since my dear sister Queen Tiara died and so we decided to have it here this year to honor her memory and everything she did for her people” Queen Elena said in a sad tone but only a few knew this was all an act and she really didn’t care about her sister “Well said Queen Elena, your sister was a beautiful soul and she deserves to be celebrated,” Thorne said with a wide grin, while Serena had to bite her tongue to stop herself from saying anything she would regret at the end of the dinner.“Also my Sister, Queen Ella decided to grace us
After dinner everyone went to their respective rooms forgetting about the scene that took place during dinner more like acting like it never happened. Stephen, Serena and Adrian left the garden immediately the dinner ended, Serena and Adrian wanted to go back to their room but they were reluctant on leaving Stephen who said he wanted to go and see Queen Ella to apologize for his behavior but eventually he was able to persuade them to go.After he saw Serena and Adrian to their room, Stephen went over to Queen Ella to apologize for losing his cool when his mother was antagonizing him on purpose, on getting to her room he was told by the guards that she was still with Queen Elena, unable to wait he went back to his room telling himself he will see her tomorrow.In the dining room where Queen Ella and Elena are still present....“Why would you provoke your son in front of your subjects’ Queen Ella asked her sister, who paid no mind as she got to her feet.“Ella you have no business in ou
Serena woke up to the sound of birds chirping from the open window of their room, Adrian was fast asleep and his hand was resting on her waist, she removed his hand gently trying not to wake him up. When she was out of bed she cleaned up quickly changing into a suitable gown. When she was done cleaning up she left the room leaving Adrian alone. Serena walked down the quiet hall every time she passed a servant they would bow and she would return their greeting with a smile. A few minutes later Serena had gotten to her destination which was the garden, ever since she was little she always loved nature and everything it provided them with.She took a seat on the bench placed in the garden and suddenly she felt like someone was watching her she turned and found a woman dressed in the most elegant green dress she had ever seen, she was also wearing a silver crown with beautiful gems embedded in them, Serena guessed she was one of the royal that was attending the ball.“Hello, I’m sorry I d
Stephen pulled away from Queen Kelly before going in his former position his gaze landed on Serena who gave him a small smile, Queen Ella also went to give Serena a hug, kissing her on the forehead before both queen’s and Stephen left the room leaving Serena and Adrian alone in their room. “You didn’t have to be so hard on her Adrian, she didn’t mean to hurt me and also she apologized, so can you please consider her apology, for me” Serena said pouting her lips, “You make it hard to stay mad at you or anyone else, you so kind and see the good in everyone even if there is none, that’s one reason why I love you and want to spank you at the same time” Adrian said causing heat to rise up Serena’s cheeks.“You look so cute when you are a flustered little one” Adrian said his hand was on her cheek caressing it gently, Adrian leaned in his lips were very close as he stared into her eyes. There wasn’t a moment of hesitation. His mouth was on hers, and Serena stopped breathing. He shuddered
Queen Ella just stared at her sister with different emotions flowing through her. It's been twenty-three years since we last saw each other and she didn’t know how to feel about their reunion after such a long time but before she could say anything. A knock came from the door and Queen Kelly and Ella’s gaze went to the door immediately. Queen Ella got to her feet and went to open the door and she was surprised to see who was standing in front of her.It was Hunter, the guard she placed here to watch Elena, “Hunter hello, I have been meaning to ask about you, everything has just been hectic with the ball coming up, I hope everything is okay” Queen Ella asked smiling at the soldier who was risking his life for her to bring Elena down.“I’m okay my Queen, I just wanted to see if you are okay being back here again, the soldier’s are busy so I might not be able to see you again, that’s why I came now, you look well my Queen and that makes me happy ” Hunter added giving the Queen a small s
As they walked towards the ball room, Serena turned her gaze to Stephen, “How many guests will be present?” Serena asked, nervous at the amount of people that would see her like this.“Serena, the winter ball was the most popular event in the whole four regions,so everyone will surely want to attend,” Stephen added. “Great!, I just hope I don’t make a fool of myself and ruin everything”“Don’t worry you have us and the plan will go well, don't you worry” Stephen said, giving her a small smile. When they got to the ballroom two guards were standing at the entrance. Stephen went to introduce them to the guards before coming back to stand beside them.The guards announced Stephen first, followed by Adrian and Serena, the large door opened and the three of them walked into the ballroom and Serena caught her breath. Saying the room was beautiful is an understatement. The walls were glittering like ice, everyone's gaze fell on them and whispers filled the room. She could hear questions li
“This is new, you didn’t threaten to attack him for dancing with me, is that because you know him, he did mention that before” Serena asked in a playful tone. “No, I didn’t really like him back then, he was to full of himself but I don’t know about now and the reason why I didn’t react to him dancing with you was because he gave me a very good reason why he had to dance with you” Adrian answered handing the cup of wine over to her which Serena gladly accepted with a smile, “and what reason might that be” Serena asked.“some immature men calling themselves Princes thought it would be fun to place a bet on who gets to dance with you first, so in order to avoid a altercation, he decided to keep you away from them, for their sake, maybe he knows what would have happened if I caught any of them talking to you" Adrian answered grinning evilly causing Serena to smack him in the arm.“Stephen was right you are quite violent”, Adrian said running his hands down the part she just hit him.“I’m
Once Queen Kelly got to Ella’s room she immediately knocked on the door, her gaze scanning her surroundings to see if anyone was roaming around. Queen Ella opened it up expecting it to be Stephen but when she saw Kelly, she stared at her with a confused expression. “what do i owe the pleasure of your visit Kelly, we weren’t meant to meet today,”“You know what I came her for, your plan was to scare her, is that all you have up your sleeve to get her to confess her crimes, if so I’m quite disappointed” Queen Kelly asked, “Listen Kelly you can’t come here and act like you own the place, all I ask is for you to mind your business and we will continue with our plan, your help isn’t needed” Ella said in a stern tone.“How can I do that when you are handing that girl to the wolves? Queen Kelly said, “Kelly you don’t have to be here and you don’t have to put your nose in our business, we were doing just fine without you” Ella said, “but-“.“Gosh Kelly do you ever stop whining” Queen half ye
