The love of a King Chapter 49: Ruined dinner
Vivian was seated in the midst of her two friends. They talked about different topics, one of them finally said."Ladies with all of this chatting, I forgot to tell you the main reason why I planned this tea party." Said lady Margaret, daughter of Mr and Mrs Kingston. Her father was once part of the justice committee, but he retired a few years ago, claiming that he wanted to spend more time with his family."What is it about?" Asked lady Charlotte."I am getting married in a month!" She said with excitement evident in her voice."Really? that's great. Who are you getting married to?""To minister Richard."Don't you think that he's to old for you?"Asked lady Charlotte."Only by fourteen years, ladies have done worse. And I don't care about the age difference, I just want someone who has connections and his connection is with king Alexander." She said. Her tone dripped with ambition.Vivian's face turned sour when she heard the king being mentioned. She had still not forgotten about w
The love of a King Chapter 50: Talking to Lisa
The next day;It's been two days that the poisoning event took place. That means that it has been two days that Lisa got thrown into the dungeon. I still found it to be strange. Why would Lisa want to poison the king and his family? She doesn't seem to have any motive to do so, unless she was sent to carry it out.I was currently seated in princess Ella's room. She had made plans for us to go out in a few minutes and I was watching her get ready."Aurora, which do you prefer?" She asked. I turned to see her holding two pairs of shoes. I stayed quiet for a while before answering; "The gold one?" I said unsure of my decision."Yes, just as I thought." She said with a full blown grin. She wore the shoes and twirled around in them. A small giggle left her lips. She was obviously happy which left me quite suprised. I did not expect her to act normally after what happened during her birthday dinner. I had expected her to be crying and moody but she was the exact opposite."Alright, I'm read
The love of a King Chapter 51: Talking to the king
Through out that day I could only think about Lisa and what she had told me. The evidence against her wasn't too strong. That was probably why they hadn't executed her. I wanted to help in some way but I didn't know how. I remembered what Lisa told me about the strange fabric that was wrapped around the bottle. She said that she has never seen it before. Shouldn't that be some sort of evidence that she knew nothing about the poisoning?If they could see that she doesn't own a material like that. I was tidying up the kitchen with some maids. With Lisa being imprisoned, we were one maid short, which meant extra work. As I worked, a thought suddenly occured to me. It was a strange thought but I still considered it. I finished up my work quickly and ran to my shared room. I opened up my sack and threw all of my clothes on the bed. I started to search desperately for a particular clothe.When I finally found it, a smirk came unyo my face. "A strange colourful fabric, just like what Lisa sa
The love of a King Chapter 52: The trader
When I stepped out of the palace, it was late in the afternoon. I wondered if we could arrive before dusk. I felt a presence beside me, and a voice said."Are you ready?" I heard the king say. I turned to face him. I gave him a small nod. Walking down the steps, I followed slowly behind the king. I realized that Sir George wasn't here. 'Wasn't he supposed to be coming with us?'George won't be coming with us." I nodded. "We are heading to Eastway village, that's where I met her." I said softly. Alexander hummed and told the rider.I sat stiffly in my seat. I really hope that we find the woman. I heard some of the maids talking about Martha. She questioned the maids, if any of them had gone to Lukehall these past days. That meant that the king has already inquired from Martha. But no maid has left the palace for another kingdom without permission. Finding the woman was my only hope, Lisa's only hope.My eyes strayed towards the king. As always he had a composed demeanor. He looked throu
The love of a King Chapter 53: The truth comes out
The sun was about to set when we arrived at the palace. When the woman descended from the carriage, her mouth hung wide open. 'She was at the palace!' Her shock was very evident, then confusion came forward. What was she doing here? Why had this girl and this extremely handsome man brought her here? Who were they? So many questions ran through her mind. "Your Highness, you're back." George said in a monotonous voice."I want all of the maids gathered now." His voice came out gentle, but Aurora felt that his actions would not be.""Right away." The woman who stood beside Aurora, started to put two and two together. The man was the King! She had spoken to the king, the man who was surrounded by many unspeakable rumours. She trembled on her feet and she cursed under her breath. Why was she here? Did she do something wrong?All of the maids were gathered in the dining hall. Wondering why they've been summoned, they all started making up reasons.Gwen was searching around for her sister.
The love of a King Chapter 54: Punishment
I woke up groggily, rubbing the sleep off my eyes. Turning on the lantern, I realised that I only had thirty minutes to get ready to meet the king for my punishment. A shiver ran down my spine, partly from fear and from the chilling breeze.Sleeping opposite me was Lisa. She had been released and compensated. She was given a week-long break. Lucky her, but what led to it couldn't be called luck. I tiptoed around the room to get dressed. I wore a long worn out coat over my dress to keep out the cold. Then I left the room without making a sound.I went through the workers entrance and I got outside. I saw a few guards in front, so I turned to avoid them. I finally got to the glass house. I had left ten minutes before time, so there must be two minutes remaining now. I definitely didn't want another punishment for tardiness."Two minutes early, I was hoping you'd be late." I heard a voice say behind me. I gave a slight bow. He was dressed casually. A white shirt that was rolled up to his
The love of a King Chapter 55: Midnight Adventures 1
Wrapped in Alexander's arm, I tried my best not to look at the people that were standing in front of us. Three gruffly men who eyed me like I was a piece of candy were in a heated conversation with the king."Don't overstep your boundaries Jeff." Alexander warned in an icy tone. The man named Jeff scrunched his nose."And what boundaries are those? I didn't do anything wrong." This Jeff guy was talking to the king of Devon as if he were some messenger. I wasn't too surprised though.We were currently at a poorly built tavern in the outskirts of Devon. It was probably past midnight and here I was, still out with the king. I shouldn't have accepted coming with him. But it's not like I had any other choice. He still would have forced me.*About three hours ago*It was dark outside. The royal family had already had dinner and the maids were busy cleaning up. Me and Lisa spent our free time talking about different matters. She kept on thanking me, saying that she would have been dead if I
The love of a King Chapter 56: Midnight Adventures 2
They are here, and the king wasn't back yet. I felt a bead of sweat cover my forehead. It was a cold night, but I was starting to feel hot.The scary looking men walked over to the counter and sat a few seats away from Aurora. I looked side to side, wondering when the king would arrive. I felt a hard gaze on me and I unconsciously shivered. Sensing the direction, I realized that it was one of the men from the gang.I could just leave, but where would I go? And the king ordered me to not move an inch. But my senses were telling me that this could go wrong. I was completely surrounded by men."Do you need some company sweetie?" One of the gangsters asked. He had a wicked gleam in his eyes and I almost shrinked into my seat. I summoned all of my courage and said; "No, I'm fine." My tone is much stronger than I expected."Why would a pretty girl like you be seating all alone in a place like this? Did your man dump you?" The man I considered was the leader asked. The smirk on his face was
