The King's virgin bride 47. Discretion
"What is this?" Frederick asked, containing the anger he felt at that moment."Your Majesty, I'm sorry..." the timid man replied, "A man in the Royal Guard uniform, carrying a letter with your seal, went for the bandits who attacked you and your betrothed. Everything seemed to be in order, and my men did not hesitate to follow the written orders. We thought it was you’re doing."The Queen Mother rose as if driven by a greater force."What do you mean you've suffered an attack?" she immediately questioned.Frederick grimaced; he had completely forgotten that his mother hadn't been notified. In fact, no one in the palace knew, except the authorities, Selene, and his men who promised not to say anything about the attack, and, of course, the mastermind behind Selene's abduction. His eyes couldn't help but search for Henry; the Duke of Astor didn't seem so calm, and something inside him screamed that he was responsible. Unfortunately, there was no evidence against him."I'm fine, Mother. W
The King's virgin bride 48. I want everything from you
Selene turned around, startled, feeling her heart as if it was about to burst out of her chest. She had thought of taking a calm stroll alone, but she never imagined that Henry would dare to look for her, especially after she had distanced herself from him."Henry... What are you doing here?" she asked, her eyes glancing behind him, hoping that no one saw them alone and assumed the wrong thing."Selene, what's wrong?" Henry asked with a soft tone. "I missed you."Selene's eyes widened at those words, and her hands started to sweat nervously. The last thing she wanted was to have a misunderstanding with Frederick or, in the worst case, to be seen by the Queen or Samantha.Henry took a step closer to her, trying to approach and see if he could embrace her. But as he advanced, she stepped back and placed her hands between them, avoiding further closeness."What do you think you're doing?" Selene asked with a serious tone. "You know very well you shouldn't be here," she emphasized, and He
The King's virgin bride 49. You don't do it for me
Their bodies fell onto the bed, satisfied and with their hearts racing."You're wonderful," Frederick murmured, kissing Selene's forehead."I love you," she replied with a slight smile, settling into Frederick's arms."I'm looking forward to our wedding; if I could advance it, I would without hesitation," he said.Selene shook her head."You can't do that; Samantha's birthday cannot be canceled," she reminded him."I know, my love," he sighed."Is there something bothering you?" Selene asked, noticing his troubled expression."Mom talked to me about her; she wants me to find a good husband for her, and honestly, I can't think of anyone suitable for Samantha. I wouldn't want to marry her off out of obligation, Selene. I want her to experience love," he said."I'd like to help you; however, I don't know any suitable gentlemen," she said, falling silent.Frederick pondered his options for a moment; he knew many important people in the kingdom, and any of them would be more than happy to
The King's virgin bride 50. You don't understand
Frederick smiled like a fool; his heart beat strongly just imagining Selene as his wife and not having to hide to make her his whenever they desired. He was sure that the passion running through his body was the same Selene felt every time she was with him.The king hadn't felt so happy since he ascended to the throne; his life had become one commitment after another, all for the people of Astor. Selene came into his life when he didn't know he needed her and almost ruined everything at the beginning. Back then, he had no reason to trust her, and he could never have imagined that the girl would become his world and his reason for being. A sigh escaped his lips along with a sob nearby.Frederick thought it was Selene, so he quickened his pace, fearing the worst. However, it wasn't his young and beloved fiancée who was crying, but his mother."Mother," he called.Leonor lifted her tear-streaked face; she bit her lip to keep from screaming with all her might, but seeing Frederick in fron
The King's virgin bride 51. Suspect
Samantha awaited Henry's reaction, but he either stood stupefied or, more accurately, feigned being dumbfounded at her confession. His hand paused in the air, withdrawing it from the young princess's cheek."Aren't you going to say anything?" she asked with a racing heart."Your Highness," he addressed her formally, "there's nothing I can do to prevent an engagement with another man."Samantha took a step back at Henry's response."I thought you cared, that you worried about me," Samantha sobbed."And I do, Your Highness, but... who can oppose the wishes of His Majesty? I am not the brave knight who will rescue you, to my misfortune.""What do you mean, Henry?" she asked, determined to call him by his name, breaking the rules."I can fight for you, Your Highness, but there's no way I can go against the power of the King, especially if he has the approval of the Queen Mother. However, there's something you can do.""What is it, Henry? Tell me, and I'll do whatever it takes to prevent b
The King's virgin bride 52. Unforgivable Mistake
Henry's face tightened at Frederick's words; he looked at him with contained hatred, his fingers clenched into two strong fists until the color of his knuckles changed."Who the hell do you think you are to decide about my life?" he growled with anger, while Frederick looked at him with cold calmness."I am your king.""And to hell with that!" he squawked, standing up violently, so much that the chair fell to the floor. Henry's features were distorted, his teeth clenched so tightly that it seemed he might lose them at any moment."Control your temper and your tongue," advised Frederick, standing up with grace and elegance."You know very well that I am the rightful owner of the throne you occupy," he growled. "Don't you dare try to dictate my life, Frederick."A loud thud was heard; it was the king's fist hitting the hard and fine wood of his desk."You were disinherited and removed from the succession line by our grandfather, Henry, whether you like it or not, I am the King of Astor,
The King's virgin bride 53. How could you accept this?
Selene tried to inquire a bit more, but Samantha remained tight-lipped about it. Eventually, Selene gave in and engaged in conversation with the young princess about the preparations for her upcoming party, just around the corner. The topic of the princess's future suitor was left behind, but Selene couldn't stop pondering. She genuinely hoped that Frederick would find a good man for her sister because, despite being a bit stubborn, she was not a bad woman and deserved a beautiful and pure love like the one Selene was experiencing with her future husband. They spent a few hours together, trying to get to know each other. Samantha set aside her sadness momentarily when she shared some amusing experiences with the animals on her uncle's farm. This surprised Selene, as the princess appeared so delicate. Imagining her playing and working with animals was a contrasting image but seemed very entertaining and interesting to Selene. Selene left Samantha's room, but the idea that the Duke the
The King's virgin bride 54. Do you want the truth, or do you prefer me to lie to you?
"I can swear to you that Frederick has not sighed for you in a long time."Regina didn't want to believe Henry's words, however, Frederick had behaved distant when he greeted her; his eyes no longer sparkled as before. The woman experienced a hollow feeling in the pit of her stomach and had to sit down to avoid falling flat on her face.Henry looked at Regina's pale face and felt pleased."This is your only chance to become a queen one day," he said, testing the ground he was treading on.Regina looked at him without understanding."How can you say such a thing? Married to you, I can only aspire to be the Duke's wife.""I am the legitimate heir, Regina."She looked at him."That doesn't make you a possible heir unless..." Regina opened her eyes, understanding what Henry was referring to."You're with me or against me, you decide, My Lady," he said seriously and with a hint of irony.Regina had no chance of refusing; her father had already reached an agreement with Frederick, and thing
