CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Frey hummed as she combed and wash Morrigan's hair, her sweet voice singing in a beautiful chorale along with the birds at the outskirts. Morrigan sat there silently listening to Frey's lovely voice as her fingers caresses the engravements of the ring on her thumb. "Your hair is so silky, just a few washes and combing my hand just slides down along it," Frey said, enthusiasm evident in her sweet voice as she started to pat Morrigan's hair dry. Her hand slides down Morrigan's hair.
"How was your wrist? I'm really sorry for what happened last night," Morrigan said, guilt evident in her small voice. She fidgets on the ring that is on her thumb. She bit the insides of her cheeks as she look at her reflection on the water. Frey acted as if what happened last night is nothing. She continues to hum and tend to Morrigan's hair. Parting it in two equal sections, and from it, she parted per section into three. Morrigan's gaze flew on Frey's wrist which was bandaged and hi

Frey and Morrigan walked down the hill hand-in-hand, their hands swaying at every step they take. Frey watches Morrigan as they walk back to their home. After crying in her arms Morrigan's eyes were all swollen and bloodshot, her face remain solemn with no glint of smiles. But this time her face seemed to be clearer and less depressing like before, the air of sadness around Morrigan dissipated a bit. Frey thought that it's alright and things will come by one-by-one. One cannot heal from the pain in a single day after all. She smiled at the thought that maybe soon or someday she will see Morrigan's bright smiles. "What do you want to eat today?" Frey asked. Morrigan lifted her gaze towards Frey but eventually lifted her eyes towards the sky. "Anything will do." She doesn't know how to reply, she is used to the delicacies in the palace, and living away from her grandiose life she doesn't know what to expect. In Morrigan's mind as long as it is edible and safe then she will be thankful
Morrigan CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Frey pulled Morrigan immediately to one corner of the house once she set her foot inside the hut. Still able to see the prince who is pacing in exasperation in front of their humble abode. The colors in Frey's face seemed to seep away from her. Her hands sweating, and cold sweats trickled on her forehead. She looked at Morrigan who seemed to be indifferent at that moment. "Why did you talk to the prince in that manner?" Frey said in a hushed tone, despite her hushed voice fear laced Frey's voice as she interrogate Morrigan. Morrigan looked at her innocently. "What do you mean?" Frey pinched her skin lightly. Making Morrigan hissed and caress the part of her arm where Frey pinched her. Frey looked out of the window and finally heaved a sigh as Mathias had finally stormed away from their home. "Don't feign innocence. You know what you did." Morrigan acted as if she just remembered something. Pointing out the window to the direction where Mathias stood earl
Morrigan CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Morrigan's eyes brimmed with tears as she emotionally told what happened to her and her family. Starting after she discovered her uncle's devious plans, then to the moment she realized she was unable to save them on time and had to run for her life due to what her mother wishes her to do. Then to what happened to Lydia and to what's bothering her now that the news of her missing had come across kingdoms. "You're afraid that once you get back your uncle will kill you to consolidate his power to the throne?" Aries inquired. Morrigan nodded her head slowly. "Once he takes a hold of me, he can consolidate his position especially once he gets a hold of the seal that I am hiding." She couldn't tell the couple this detail as it was only a secret between her and her father. The seal will solidify one leader's power and put them down in the history of Hymir. "But if your uncle will kill you the instant you come home then wouldn't that raise suspicions against him?" Morrigan looked at the cou
Morrigan CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
Morrigan is busy toiling with the pouch that she had been embroidering. Frey hummed sweetly while doing Morrigan's hair. Morrigan abruptly halted her work thought of a reason so Frey won't bring her to the town. "Frey, I don't think this is a good idea." Morrigan turned her head towards Frey who is busy braiding one side of her hair. "Can I just stay behind as usual? I haven't finished the pouch I am embroidering, I can toil on it for the whole day." She showed her half-finished work to Frey in an attempt to let her stay behind. Frey clicked her tongue and straightened Morrigan's head, making her face ahead to the copper mirror on the wall. Frey went back to diligently do her hair, gathering her braided locks together. "You've stayed inside for a year already and all you do is embroider, and learn flower arrangements. Today is a great time to stroll around the town. People will flock to the streets and everyone will be busy. No one will give you a double

Every step to the courtroom felt heavy. With uncomfortable silence surrounding the crowd of guards and the three accused persons in the middle of the crowd. The way to the courtroom is agonizingly long. Aries' arms in a protective embrace on Morrigan's body, while Frey held her hands assuring the princess that everything will be alright. Though Morrigan had already composed herself and prepared to make herself known in the court she couldn't help but feel a slight discomfort by the idea. Morrigan's gaze flew to the wide back of Mathias who is walking arrogantly ahead of them in the long hallway. She had caught Mathias stealing glances towards her with a smile that seemed to do no good. She watches how the guards walked uniformly around them, ensuring that they cannot escape in any direction. Their hands are on top of the hilt of their swords, some hold the handle of their spears tightly, ready to unsheathe or fling any weapons towards them. Morrigan's jaw clenched. If her eyes could
Morrigan CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
After Morrigan left the courtroom the king heaved a sigh of relief, his back slumped on his throne. Cold sweats trickled on his forehead. He patted those sweats away with the back of his hand. Glaring at the prince who is standing in the middle of the courtroom, dumbfounded. Mathias looked at the already shut double doors. He started to pace in the middle of the courtroom, walking from one side to another, going around in circles. The king who watches his son intently could feel his head aching as he watches his son pacing around. He pinched the middle of his nose bridge and massages it. Thinking of the stupid mistake Mathias did and how the prince had offended the future queen of their neighboring kingdom. Mathias paced back and forth in the courtroom, unconsciously biting the skin on the tip of his thumb. When he could feel he could no longer bite his thumb he repeatedly licked his lips. His father, the king, massaging his temples. Heaving another deep sigh
Morrigan CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
The black curtain of hair dances along with the salty breeze of the sea. Gazing softly at the locket on her hand, Morrigan watches how the light bounces off the dazzling jewels of her locket. She looked at the sky, but halfway she squinted as the blinding light of the sun hit her eyes. Covering her eyes with her hand she watches the birds and seagulls soaring the bright sky. Her eyes reflected a mixture of emotions, lost in deep thoughts. Morrigan had already prepared herself for what will happen next to her, however, the lurking worry in her heart never ceases. Worrying what will she see once she came back. She bit her lips and shook her head lightly. She brought her eyes back to the harbor below her. People dressed in both finely tailored dresses, or commonly seen clothing lined the harbor. Boarding the ships that are on the dock, its sails open as one would know these ships are prepar

The echoes of drums reverberate all over the kingdom as the caravan which Morrigan is in enters the city gates of the capital of Hymir. The guards lining the gates bowed down as Morrigan's carriage make its entrance to the capital. People flock to the streets, waving their hands and handkerchiefs. Cheering for the arrival of their beloved princess. Petals of different colors rained from the skies. Everyone took their chances to have a glimpse of the princess. Choosing a place where one could watch the entourage in its greatest views. The children that usually run the streets are all on the back of the neck of their fathers or in the arms of their mothers, waving their small hands to the entourage. Morrigan lifted the curtain that separates her from the crowd waiting for her in the streets. Watching the people who had their bright smiles plastered to their faces. All overflowing with anticipation to witness the day when the princess who they missed dearly
