The love of a King Chapter 25: Unexpected person
One hour to dinner time and the palace was still bustling with work. I was cleaning the guest rooms. It was only me and another maid, which made it more stressful. I aired the room, swept, changed the sheets and placed fresh flowers in the vases. I did the same thing for the other two rooms assigned to me.Opposite the guest room was the king's chambers. A shiver ran down my spine when I remembered my first encounter with the king. I wondered if the king was around. I rarely set my eyes on him, not that I wanted to. He had a scary personality and it made me uncomfortable. I saw lady Vivian coming towards me. I carried the cleaning equipments, and when she got to my side, she glared at me. I walked away but stopped when I heard her call."Did you clean the guests rooms?""I only cleaned a few, another maid cleaned the rest lady Vivian.""Hm, she entered one of the rooms which I suppose was her's. A frown formed on my face. Her room was part of the rooms I cleaned. I almost cursed in an
The love of a King Chapter 26: Dinner
A carriage arrived at the palace. It stopped along the steps that leads to the entrance of the palace. The king of Barklull had arrived! He was a man in his early thirties, who was of average height. Mr Gerald stepped out to see that the King had arrived. Taking in deep breaths, he walked towards the king. He gave a very deep bow."Your highness, this way please." They walked in and he led the king to the living room. "His highness wil be here shortly." He waved at two maids and they came forward quickly to serve him. Alexander and George, his assistant stepped in."Alexander, finally you have time to meet me. I thought you were avoiding me.""And why would I avoid the king of Barklull?""Who knows?" The two men hugged. The two have been friends for years, though Carlos, the king of Barklull was older than he was, it made their friendship tighter."I understand, this war won't let you rest will it? I'm sorry about Edwin and for not making it to the funeral.""You shouldn't be sorry, t
The love of a King Chapter 27: The irrational man
The Following day;"I'm glad you're here Carlos. It's been long we've had you here." Queen mother said."I know mother, but you should tell that to your dear son. He stopped inviting me over." Carlos called her mother because to him, she was his mother. His parents died when he was very young, which left his kingdom without a king. Back then, it was the late king of Devon who helped to run the kingdom with the ministers and chiefs, since he was very close to his parents. So all of that made him see her as his mother and Alexander as his brother."You know how he is, and the war isn't helping either. Tell me, have you gotten yourself a lady to marry?"Carlo's face turned serious. "No mother, I'm not ready for that yet." Queen mother sighed. "You and Alexander are the same. Why can't you two understand that you need a queen by your side, A companion." They were in the open garden."Alex dosen't want to get married either uhh?""Yes, everytime I mention the subject, he always disregards

"Did the man really do that? he's shameless." Gwen said. I immediately shushed her. "Quiet, someone could hear us." I whispered. Dinner had just ended and we were clearing the table."So? he had no right.""I'm not really bothered about it." I said and dusted the dirty napkin."I heard some of the maids talking about him. Some of them grumbled about him being here. They say he's even more unbearable egotistical than his sister." Gwen said."Who's his sister?" I asked curiously."Lady Vivian, weren't you aware?" It all made sense to me now. 'That's why he's like that. It probably runs in the family.' I thought."No I wasn't." We finished up and headed back to the kitchen. "Tomorrow's our first day-off. Where do you think we should go?" Asked Gwen."It's not exactly a day-off, we only have four hours to spend away." I started washing the plates"At least it's something. It's been long I've been in the village, strangely I miss walking on the busy streets.""Wow, I would never have expec

The next day;All we had was a four hour break. Every servant will have today, but we would all take turns. Sam and Scott luckily had their break together with ours. Now Scott was persuading them to go see their mother, our aunt."No Scott, there's no need." I said."But why? Mother should know. We haven't told her because you asked us not too." He said."It's better that way, we feel really ashamed now." Gwen added."You two are talking nonsense, mother will definitely forgive you two." Said Sam. 'If only they knew that it was their mother that threw us out.' I thought."Why don't you just tell her, to make her feel at ease. We could come visit later." I said."Alright, now what do you two want to do now?" They have been standing outside of the palace gates all along."We were planing on going to some of the loan sharks in our village, probably we could find something about our parents." I told them. I'd already told them about the loans and that was probably what caused our parents

In the Kingdom of valeria;"WHAT! How is that possible!" King Darien voice boomed through the courtroom. Princess Isabelle winced at her brother's outburst. She knew that this wouldn't end well."We don't know. It was Vena kingdom who informed us about it. Barklull kingdom have already broken all ties with them." The minster of international affairs said. It was only him, the king and the princess that were in the room."When I thought we were already having an advantage over Devon, do you know when it happened?""No, but I believe it hasn't been a week.""Do you know what type of trouble this will cause for us? Barklull and Devon together, it will lead to a catastrophe. Even with our five allies, we won't be able to out match them." He said. He was starting to think hard. What will he do? Should he admit defeat? This wouldn't end well. He thought."I understand your highnes, I think...""Summon an urgent meeting with all our allies. We need to find a solution fast!""As you wish, you
The love of a King Chapter 31: Plan
"This is outrageous! Do you know the type of risk we're taking? Even when Devon didn't have any allies, we suffered major casualties. Now Barklull has joined them, what do you think will happen now?" The king of Wallby said with a strong tone. All of the allies of the Valerian kingdom got summoned for an urgent meeting. Now, they were being informed about the new alliance Devon had made."Exactly. Why did you have to do that to Barklull Darien? You just called doom for us." The king of Verascous said. He was suprised that Darien could do such a thing. It was really unnecessary."The deed has been done, now we have to find a solution." He said. Yes, he knew he was at fault here, but there was nothing that could be done to correct his wrong doings."I've been expecting Barklull to join with Devon for awhile. It's no secret that Barklull and Devon are extremely close. When the kings parents died, the late king of Devon helped them in ruling their kingdom. It's what made their kingdom flo

"Your highness, Felix is here. He wishes to see you." George said. Alexander was with one of his ministers. They were talking about a serious matter."He can wait till I'm done." He said simply. George shook his head in disapproval. "No your majesty, he says it's really important. It can't be delayed." George could see Felix's level of seriousness. He knew that it was a very urgent matter.Alexander had a frown on his face. He wondered what could be so important that Felix couldn't spare a minute."Send him in." With a bow, George went to fetch Felix. They arrived within two minutes."Your highness, I'm sorry for the disturbance, but it's an urgent matter." Alexander waved his hand at the minister, and with a brief bow, he left."So tell me, what is so important Felix?""I have information from Valeria, and it's very serious." He said."I understand that already, now get to the point.""Valeria, they are launching an attack. Infact, all of their allies are.""This isn't the first time
