CHAPTER ELEVEN
'Last night was a mistake.' I thought to myself as I stared at myself in the mirror in my wedding gown as Asiya and Aris hurried around me, touching my hair pulling the dress down to show no creases on my now sore body from the night before.
'Last night was a mistake.' I kept repeating it over and over in my head, I had only shame and guilt as butterflies began to fill my stomach sickly.
'it wasn't my fault, he looked so, so pitiful, so hurt, fragile yet strong as he took my body as his, it's too late, I am physically his, I belong to him now.'
"Princess, we must be on our way or we will be late." Aris says as she picks up the long laced train of the veil that laid lazily on the floor behind me.
I said nothing and let them lead me down toward the throne room, I looked nowhere else but the floor ahead, I couldn't bring myself to make eye contact with anyone.
My brother would be waiting in the throne room, and my father would be ready to g

"Queen Celeste," he whispers, and I looked up at him, I knew my makeup was running. "None of this is your fault." He continued. "Barinor, did you find her?" He sounded anxious, scared even. "Yeah, she's right here, safe." He slowly let go, my tears black streaks down my cheeks, they just won't stop. I was shaking, all I could feel was fear and anger. "What are you doing here, Senya?" My voice portrayed my emotions. He shouldn't be here, he should be in the throne room making a plan to find that man's family. "I got worried about you," he was sincere behind his words but that made me even more angry. "Don't be, I'm fine." I growled. "With all due respect, milady, but I really don't think you're fine at all." Barinor defended him, and he was right. I'm not okay but I'm the last person that he should be worried about right now. "I'm, I'm fine." My voice broke. Senya stepped forwar

I opened the large iron door squealing against the rubbled floor, I hated that sound. Asiya helped me open the door all the way and ran in before it shut loudly behind us. "Queen Celeste, is that you?" He called out from somewhere in the room. "Yes I'm here." I called back, walking around the room trying to find him. "Where are you?" "I'm in the other room." He hollered out again, he sounded muffled. Asiya walked over toward a large cloth, she pulled it back revealing another room. She held it open and I curiously walked through. "Any more secrets I need to know about this place?" "Probably, the castle was here before the Alastaine's showed up." He said as we walked to where Barinor and a knight were sitting. Barinor had a sewing needle tightly held between his lips as he rubs alcohol onto a deep cut in the Knight's abdomen. "What happened?" I asked, pulling out another stool. "The king and I were practicing spa

I threw his hands away from me and began to walk away, how dare he act that way. How dare he force those words from my lips when he already knows the truth? He ran to catch up to me. "Where are you going?" I spun wildly to face him, my cheeks red with anger. "Away from you." I snapped as I turned to leave again. It all happened in a blur and he quickly grabbed my wrist. "Stop." I tried to get out of his grip but he tightened it. "Celeste stay with me?" I didn't respond. I struggled trying to get out of his hold. "Please?" it felt as if I were to pull away anymore my wrist would surely break. "Senya, let me go, you're hurting me." I whimpered, attempting to pull away again. "Then stay." That wasn't a suggestion, it was an order. "Fine." I groaned letting my arm go limp. He gave me a look that suggests he doesn't believe me, but slowly let go anyway. I rubbed my poor sore wrist, it was all red from how tight he was

"Go get a cart ready, I'm going to change into something I can move more easily in." I ordered Asiya, making our way out the door. I remembered watching my brother spar in the courtyard under my window, listening to the clanging of metal when each sword clashed against one another in only their Long Johns and sweaters in the fall, I never understood sparring; it seemed so unnecessary, fighting for nothing but domination of your opponent. Nothing more, nothing less. "Yes, Milady." Asiya bowed and smirked as for the first time since yesterday she called me by my title, it felt foreign on her lips, making me smirk sheepishly back. I was no longer only Hierarchy, but her friend if you could call us that, does this make us friends? She scattered along and made way to get ready for departure, as I seem to need help picking out something to fight in. Aris suddenly caught my eye and I waved her over. "Aris." "Yes, Milady?" She ask
Kingdoms Reign CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Finlin made sure the horses were at a full stop before getting out of the seat behind them, they snuffed their nostrils in protest as poor mister Finlin waddled over to our carriage doors and opened them with a slight bow, holding out a hand to help us out. One by one we exited the carriage, I looked around for a moment to take in my surroundings. I haven't been around, nor in mystic forest much, I just never had the need nor want to leave the castle. "Your highness, I shall wait here for your return if that's alright, I'm not one for exploring." He laughed halfheartedly gesturing to his leg, but to my surprise it was not a leg, well not a flesh and bone kind, instead it was a wooden peg in its place. 'makes Sense why he had been waddling like this.' I thought to myself. I saw enough injuries from fights and war to not be bothered, he must've been a knight to get such an injury, either that or he was once a pirate. I laughed at t

"You need a way to get back to that man who is waiting for you right? So take Evra, I was keeping her for when you returned anyway." Aurora says her hands clasped calmly behind her back now. "For me? Why?" She gave me a look to suggest that I should leave the questions alone for now. Realizing she was right I let the questions go for now and looked over at Asiya. "Let's take her, we don't have much of a choice now do we?" Asiya says bringing me back to reality. "Right we should be off then." I gently rubbed the mare's snout. "Are you ready Evra?" She flared her nostrils letting me know she was in fact prepared. I pulled myself over her back and pulled Asiya up with me. "Alright let's go." We took off bolting into the sky Asiya screamed, wrapping her arms tightly around my waist to make sure she didn't fall, I laughed in response feeling the cool breeze against my face, as we flew towards the entrance where Finlin was supposed to

“We will talk about all of this later.” He said before dropping off Evra’s back falling towards the ground and landing at ease on his feet. He looked up at me and nodded to say he was fine, he took the hilt of his sword and pulled it forcefully from the sheath with a metal pang. At least five enemies had already met their demise before we got here. I was shocked at how she could protect herself with so much ease. I could hear Senya and Asiya call out to each other about something keeping one of them alive till they get information but the enemy knights were too preoccupied with dodging Asiya’s magic and the rest of our knights blades. ‘I should do something too, instead of sitting up here just watching.’ I thought to myself as I let my magic surge through me and brought down fire balls onto the fight grounds taking out three of a time. More and more enemies began to run from the forest ten, twenty no n

A sudden movement came from the bed where Asiya laid, she sat up right as if waiting for the perfect timing to speak up. “Sire, are you sure that's a smart idea?” “Oh my,- god, Asiya don’t do that.” he placed a steady hand on his chest, bending over from being startled. “Sorry, but my question still stands. Is a war really needed?” Asiya continued. “They kidnapped a woman and two children, they nearly killed you and you’re asking if it’s necessary?” Senya got back to being upright. Barinor stayed quiet as he finished sewing my wound closed. “We have to do something, we can’t let the unnecessary k
