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

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

The meeting was over and I sighed a breath of relief. I was a table away from them, although I pretended not to listen to them, I heard every word they said. That is why I am here, to be a witness for the king, in case of any eventualities. When I realized they were done, I nearly jumped off my seat. I did not want them to see how much in a hurry I was to leave, so I tried to conceal my eagerness.Before we left, Jeff gave me look as if warning me to watch my back. The thought of him coming after me frightened me to my bones. 'Why did you punch him Aurora? You could have just screamed for help and the king might have heard.' I thought. When I stepped out of the tavern, I realized that the carriage wasn't there. 'How are we going to get back?'"We are going on foot." He said. My eyes widened with shock. 'But it was past midnight!'"It's so that we lose them." He said. He had already started walking and I rushed to move beside him. Normally, I shouldn't walk beside the king but I was wo
The love of a King Chapter 58: Midnight Adventures 4
Heavy rain drops beat the roof of the carriage. As Alexander stared out of the rain-coated window, different thoughts ran through his mind, and the most persistent thought was why he decided to bring the maid along. He could have chosen someone better, but for some reason, he chose her instead. Probably he thought that she was trustworthy enough? He couldn't tell why. He looked over at the girl, whose head rested on the window's side. She used her braided hair as a pillow and her brows were slightly furrowed. She was definitely not sleeping comfortably. Bringing out his pocket watch, it showed that it was way past midnight. They were still three hours away from Devon and the girl later would eventually wake up from a sore neck. With a defeated sigh, he opened the window that separates them from the rider. “Find the closest inn, we're stopping for the night.“ Without adding any other details, he closed the window back. He ran his hand through his hair slightly. The deal he made with

The next morning;A small groan escaped my lips as I woke up. I covered her face with my hands because of the sunlight that pierced through the curtains. rubbing my eyes, I suddenly realized that my shared room has never been this bright. Snapping myself. out of my hazy state, I realised that she was indeed not in her shared room at the palace.'Where I'm I?' I wondered. The bed I slept in was quite big, not as big as the one's at the palace though. I then remembered last night's events. All I could recollect was being in the carriage and eventually going to sleep. I looked around the room and my eyes fell on the King. I had spent the night in the same room as the king! I was so shocked. They must have stopped for the night. But why did they sleep in the same room? I wasn't wearing my coat which left me with my blue ankle length dress and my shoes were at the side of the bed. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck. That was probably from the way I slept in the carriage. I got up fro

We were back in Devon. The entire journey was filled with a soothing silence I was glad about. This morning's events was still fresh in my mind and I don't know how I survived another three hours confined with him. When we got to the palace, I literally jumped out of the carriage. There were a few maids doing one thing or the other. I noticed some curious stares but I ignored them allIt suddenly hit me that I also had a job to do, and I had not asked for permission. Heavens the chef was not going to be happy. I sighed a little, wondering what was installed for me with the chef and Gwen.“You have permission to be absent this morning, it's been settled with Martha.“ The king informed me. I stared at him blankly, wondering when he did that.“Thank you, your highness.“ I said with a slight bow. At least I had a few more hours to get some rest. I headed to the maids entrance, while reciting what I was going to tell my sister.****Meanwhile, Gwen has been wondering all sort of things. Wo
The love of a King Chapter 61: True feelings unveiled 2
Aurora was in her bed, tossing and turning. It was past her bedtime, but she couldn't sleep. She had not seen her sister throughout the day, not until when she returned from finishing her duties. They did not say a word to each other and Aurora did not know what to do. 'Could Gwen be right? Was she actually greedy? Was she ambitious?' Aurora kept asking herself lots of questions but she could not find an answer to either of them. She never had the intention of enticing the king. She had tried to stay away from him because he frightened her. Although she could not deny the fact that he was quite charming and handsome, she has never seen herself being with him. Or is it that she hasn't released yet?She always found it to be weird that Gwen held feelings for someone she had never met. She thought that her sister was not serious about it, but looks like she was wrong.She couldn't fight with her sister, especially because of an issue like this. She had to solve this tomorrow.The next
