The Right Choice Chapter 65
Grayson didn't look up when he heard the door behind him open. "Hello, my love," Kasdeyah greeted him. "I'm not your love," he said quietly and dangerously. "Oh, but you are..." she drawled. "If you value your children's lives." "You won't touch my children," Grayson said in the same dangerous tone, still not looking his captor. "Do you really think I didn't protect my children?" He finally turned his head. "You've said yourself, I'm powerful. Maybe even more powerful than you." He spoke slowly, dangerously, like he was teasing prey he was about to pounce on. "I'm also not stupid. My children are well protected, no matter where they go." Kasdeyah laughed, trying not to show her uncertainty or annoyance. "Well then, there are other people you care about. Lady Rose, Lord Arthur..." Grayson turned back around. "If you hurt them, I will kill you." Kasdeyah was getting angry. This was not how she pictured their first night to go. "I've already killed your wife and manipulated you.

The duke came running when he heard Rose's screams. "Rose! Honey! What are you saying?"Rose showed him the wig and the note. "It's not Abby, Papa. She's alive."The duke's eyes flashed with hope and anger. "Well, now we have to save them both," was all he said. He looked at the body on the table. "I wonder who this was... they should still be buried properly." Rose agreed.The meeting with the king and queen that afternoon was a hopeful one. Abigail was alive and likely in the same place as Grayson. If he knew she was there, he would keep her safe. She would also do what she could to keep him safe. Now, they just had to figure out a way to get them out of there. The reinforcements they had sent were camped well outside of Knocklean's borders awaiting orders. King Stefan's forces would be joining them soon. The issue right now was not a lack of men. It was a matter of not getting the couple they were trying to save killed.*** Kasdeyah was angry, and she took it out on Abigail. She

They slept for several hours, Grayson holding his wife as tightly as he could. The sound of banging woke them up. Kasdeyah was trying to get out. "She's going to get out, Gray," Abby whispered."I'll kill her first," he growled. "I want to help you," Abigail said firmly. "She tortured me, she killed our baby, she tried to steal you from me..." She looked up angrily. "I want my revenge.""Okay, Wildflower," he said, taking her hand. "We will do it together." Just then, they heard a loud crash and a horrible scream. "Now you've done it, my love, my king," she shouted. "I'm going to have to punish you." Her voice was getting closer. Abigail and Grayson snuck out of the room and down the corridor to the throne room. "I didn't want to do it this way," Kasdeyah called after them,"but you leave me no choice. I'm just going to have to wipe your memory." She cackled. Abigail gasped, "Grayson, you need to get out of here. I'll take care of her.""Absolutely not," he said. "If she wipes yo

"I wish I could remember you," Abigail said sadly that evening in their chambers. "You will, sweetheart," Grayson assured her. "You will." "I... um... I know we are married... but I don't think I feel comfortable just yet sharing a bed with you." She looked up and saw his eyes were full of pain. "I can... I can go stay with the children?" "No, Abby," he said sadly. "I'll go." "No. I don't want to kick you out of your own room." "This is your room, Abby," he managed, swallowing back tears. "It was your room long before it became ours." "Still..." she said guiltily. "I'm the stranger here." "You're not a stranger!" he exclaimed. "This is your home. You remember your father and Rose... why can't you remember me?" he asked sadly. "We've been together since we were five." "Five?!" "Yes," he said, walking over to her. "We were betrothed at age five. We were best friends until we were 14. I told you I loved you then, and you loved me, too." A tear escaped, and he wiped it away furio
The Right Choice Prologue (part 1)
Prologue The Princes Dupont and Grayson had never seen the mountains before. They were transfixed by the majesty of the landscape as their carriage entered the Duchy of Lydisia within the country of Alderei. The boys had been staring out of the carriage windows ever since crossing the border out of Eswen. “Sit back and close your mouths!” their father snapped. “You are princes of Eswen, not fish from the Southern Sea!” The boys sat back and put their heads down. “My dear, they are only admiring the scenery,” the Queen attempted to soothe her husband’s nerves. “We don’t have such mountains in Eswen.” “That doesn’t give them the right to forget their status.” The king snapped back, raising his hand and his voice. The Queen bowed her head, while the boys looked on in fear. The king addressed his family coldly, settling back into his seat. He was the only one on that side of carriage. The queen was stuffed in between the two boys on the other cushioned bench. “We must represent roya

**8 years later**“Father hates me,” Grayson cried to his older brother. “Father does not hate you,” Dupont attempted to reassure his little brother. “He does! He beat me again today for playing sorcerer!” Grayson lifted his shirt and showed Dupont the fresh marks from his father’s switch. Dupont flinched, involuntarily. He had never felt his father’s anger physically. “He says I will bring down the Demon King on my own head!” Dupont stroked his brother’s hair. “You know how Father feels about magic, Gray.” “I know. I wasn’t even playing sorcerer, though, “ he explained. “I was singing and just swinging a stick around.” “I will talk to Father,” Dupont said, determination in his eyes. He was 16 now. He had stood by long enough while his father beat Grayson for every slight, real or imagined. If he was to be a great king someday, he had to learn to stand up to injustice, even within his own family. “Please be careful, Duey,” Grayson pleaded. “I don’t want Father to turn on you, too
The Right Choice Chapter 1
**4 years later** Abigail Alderei Castle had been a buzz for weeks with the expected arrival of the Prince and his family. The staff had gone all out – pruning the already immaculate gardens that surrounded the castle, mending the fences around the orchards, airing out and hanging the best tapestries. There was to be a reception in the entrance chamber upon their arrival, followed by a dinner in the Great Hall. As this would be their first visit to Alderei Castle, the queen wanted the grand estate to look its best. She wanted her daughter to be on her best behavior. She was not happy earlier that day, when said daughter was brought back to the castle, dirty and scratched up, having fallen out of a tree in an attempt to escape the impending wedding. Later that evening, I fixed my dress as I waited for the arrival of Prince Grayson of Eswen, who I had not seen in four years. Queen Sarah was currently running around the richly decorated hall nitpicking everything the servants did. I

Grayson “Mother, do I have to go through with this?” I asked quietly so Father would not hear me. He had already lectured me the whole way here, I was afraid he would get physical if he heard my complaint. It wouldn’t be the first time. My mother raised an eyebrow. “Are you questioning your father’s judgement, my love?” She adjusted the veil covering the lower half of her face to hide my father’s latest “correction.” “No, Mother,” I replied without hesitation. “I just wish I had more time to meet and get to know my bride… maybe find out if we are compatible. Maybe fall in love,” I mumbled the last part. I had grown up listening to the fairy tales my grandmother used to tell me. Even though my parents hadn’t married for love, I knew it happened. Queen Sarah and King Marcus had reportedly been a love match. They met on the battlefield, in fact, defending Alderei from Godfrey, the country to the north. She was the daughter of the previous King, Patryk, and Marcus was the son of an E
