His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 59
-Katherine- My parents looked at me with huge eyes. I knew what I was saying was practically treason, but I was still very mad at Acan, and I couldn’t believe he would do this to his own brother. But Acan loved Acan. He didn’t share any deep affection towards anyone else. He might say he loved Darius. He might say he loved Silver, but I knew deep in his heart there was only room for himself and the crown he carried. Power meant more to him than family ever would, and it stung that it had to be this way. It stung that he was being such an awful person because he was not the one paying for it. Everyone else around him paid the price, and I was tired of paying that price. I was tired of living with the enemy, but I also knew I had to if I was going to change things. I had to stay close to my enemies. I had to make them think we were on the same side, or else I would never be able to get close enough to drive the metaphorical dagger into their black hearts. "Katherine!" my mother scolde
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 60
-Katherine- My mother and I visited the town the next day. I could feel my body feeling like it had been thrown against a wall or something. I had never used my powers before, and it was taking its toll. I knew I had to be careful from now on. Like my mother, I was warned not to use too much power since I was pregnant. The child was a magical child after all. Its powers needed something to feed off of as well. I was very excited, though, as I woke up the next morning, and I could see on my parents’ faces as well how happy they were for me. They had seen me do magic. I hadn’t conjured anything that truly could be seen with the naked eye, but they had seen that the water from the master had not been able to hit me. I had protected myself through magic, and that was extraordinary since everyone believed I was nothing. They thought I was born wrong. My parents still loved me, but it became harder for other people to love me. Even Acan’s family in this life had gone against me. They did n

-Katherine- My parents had prepared a truly grand ball. They had made such a wonderful evening where many lords and ladies had come to join, but also the streets were partying and the lights were shining brighter than ever throughout the whole city. I had not expected such a big welcome, but I was very thrilled to be received with so much love. It made my heart feel full, and when I entered the ballroom, people turned to me, clapping and greeting me as I made my way to my parents. I wore a dark green dress with golden spirals and a small crown on my head. My long, wavy, red hair cascaded down my back. This time, I felt good entering a ballroom. This time I felt welcomed, and I knew many had heard of the princess, who everyone thought was without powers but might just have powers after all. It made them look at me even more impressed. So many had looked at me throughout my childhood as if I were born wrong, but now many of them looked at me impressed. I had made something out of mysel
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 62
-Darius- I was staring at the letter in front of me. I was unsure of what to write. I wanted to tell Katherine everything I was doing. I wanted to explain to her what my plans were and how I had been able to turn things around, but it wasn’t so simple. I feared that if I wrote down everything, I would reveal myself. There would be proof out there that I was changing time over and over. I feared people would look down on me for it or try to stop me. Some might not want me to win. Some might never want me to return to Katherine. So I made smaller letters. I had made them vague and not explained much to her. I only let her know things were changing. We had taken down a lot of Dark Ones, and every time things didn’t go as planned, I changed things. I turned back time and tried a new strategy. I was getting tired because of it, though. I could feel my strength disappearing a little. It wasn’t easy changing time, but then I would simply make sure we rested and didn’t fight. I would take a

-Katherine- While it had grown colder, it was always warm in the capitol. We could still wear flowing dresses if we wanted, but the sun didn’t stay up for as long as usual. I was sitting in my room, reading a book, and just lying around when a servant knocked on my door. I told them to enter, and they told me Silver was looking for me, requesting I go out with her and her ladies in town. I didn’t want to go. I would rather stay in my room, but she insisted, and I knew I couldn’t say no to the queen. So I got dressed for an outing and then left my room. I found the other ladies waiting by the castle’s entrance, smiling and laughing. I noticed, though, that it was just them—hardly any guards. Usually Silver had more than five with us, but this time only two stood ready. Was it a mistake, or were we only walking a small route through town and then leaving again? I was unsure, but Silver distracted me as she smiled, seeing me come closer. The other ladies seemed excited too, but I felt w

-Katherine- The mob was closing in on us, so I took another quick turn, and we disappeared down a small alley. Silver was clinging to me, but we hid in the dark, and the mob walked right past us. We were both breathing heavily. The sun was almost down, and we had to get away from the street before the crowd found us and took us both down. I was, after all, Silver’s "family". I was part of the royal family. What if they blamed me too? I had not had the chance yet to convince them that I was not part of this, and while some still believed I was good, since they were smiling at me as we walked, I knew others were probably blaming me, thinking I was part of this evil scheme, raising their taxes. Silver was shivering and almost crying, but I quickly led us down the alley away from the mob. Unfortunately, a few people appeared at the end of it, noticing us and calling out to us. We began walking backwards, trying to hurry away, but then I felt a shove, and I stumbled forward. I turned arou

-Darius- I crumbled the letter in my hand, feeling such rage. I had never before in my life felt this way. I barely felt anything. Only when Katherine came into my life did I truly understand what it meant to feel something. I understood the deeper meaning of it. Of course, I always cared for my brother. I cared deeply. I just didn’t understand how deeply I could feel until I met Katherine. I didn’t think my feelings could ever go so deep or be so powerful that I was almost willing to destroy the world for her. I was willing to kill anyone who got in between us. But I had not taken into account that something like this would happen. I had seen my wife being accused of treason, but this, what she wrote in her letter about Silver’s trap and how Acan had been part of it since he clearly hadn’t spent much effort trying to look for her. It changed something for me. It made me feel the depths of his true darkness. It made me hate him more than I could say, and if he wanted me to fight his
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 66
-Darius- As expected, many began complaining and asking what was going on. Why were we retreating if we finally had the Dark Ones where we wanted them? We could crush them. We could stop them forever, but the Dark Ones weren’t the true evil ones. I spoke honestly to them. I told them what had been done to my wife. Some defended Acan, saying he couldn’t have known that would happen, but I explained his wife left with Katherine, knowing exactly what could have happened. I shocked many with the news, and I told them that if the king couldn’t show me his loyalty by protecting my wife, then I wasn't going to fight his battle. Anyone who wanted to come back and finish the war, I couldn’t stop. I had only made the leader the promise of not coming back myself and taking down Acan. I couldn’t stop these other soldiers, but I noticed how hesitant they were, and I knew what was going on inside their heads. "I am the only real traitor here. Anyone else only did as commanded," I yelled. "You can
