Dressed and robed around with an astounding peach dress that complemented her pale skin colour, her hips swayed left and right as she made her way to the chamber that was imprinted on her mind. For some reason, the route to his hallway looked unfamiliar to her, but her instincts worked her legs to the front of his doorstep. Without knocking, Eadlin's both hands pushed hardly against the sturdy door to barge in, which pounced her push back in fail, to indicate that the door was locked. Zachary who was just standing right by his door wondered what he had just seen, as he pulled open the bolt behind the door and opened it to see, who was rude enough to want to enter through his door without knocking.Zachary's mouth almost dropped open when he saw who was standing right at his door, other than whom he had thought it would be. Though it wasn't something so unexpected since she had come often before, but not after what Edla had told him about her, that he also confirmed too. "Hi. Brot

At the visitor's lounge next to queen's room, was where Etheldreda sat around the circular wooden table, and at her front across the other side of the table was Scarlett. The beautiful Luna to the Haystars family held in her right hand a cup tea, as she sipped on the hot liquid slowly with gentleness and elegance. In her heart to her mouth, were desperate and anxious words that she wanted to say, but was holding to her pause because Etheldreda had to do the speaking first. The queen was also sipping on her tea from the white porcelain gently, like someone who was not even ready to utter any word soon.Her beautiful lashed fluttered much in so much illustrious manner, that it would show how much she superseded the desperate Luna that was still opposite her. Scarlett cared less about their status difference at the moment, and how Etheldreda was being so overt about it, as her heart begged in frustration for Etheldreda to voice out her dearest opinions. She could no longer take the he

He was young and craved for some kind of love, one that his wife could not give him even if she tried, which she really did not. He lived like that as the one to bear the so many responsibilities, loving his children and pushing on no matter how frustrated he was. Not until one day, that he met who drew his soul and every inch of him, to intense shut down. She was the most beautiful of all maids and if not to be defying, and of all women that lived in the palace including the queen. Her eyes beautiful as the golden sun, and her skin soft and smooth like that of a snow. To make her ravishing beauty even more astonishing, she had almost little hair on her head because she had cut it low, due to a sickness she had. Her name was Heidi. Heidi's beauty was too strikingly intimidating, that she was never put as one to serve noble men or the queen. Anyone that would point that as her flaw. Lorelei wanted to guide the innocent child, from a wicked fate of being sold as a wife to one of them.

The last few days at the palace had been somewhat peaceful, with Hendrix visiting often to help Ayden start his training from the basics. Azalea never said anything about Lorelei waking up or about the past tale that she had told, as she just stayed around during the trainings at the garden with Hendrix. They both did not talk about the mistake that had almost taken place between them, or what they had felt so strongly towards one another by that slight action. They both just let the sleeping dogs lie. The only thing that could not lie in her head, were Lorelei's words that kept ringing in her head and ears. "You are his protector. It is destiny. You both are tethered." Azalea did not understand those words even if she had pondered on it so, and could not even ask anyone because the person who told her, had fallen into a vast sleep again. She didn't say how, or why. And it really put her to so many thoughts about everything generally, and why how she was already exhausted by livin

Things had gone wrong at the Haystars, the moment his mother had made just a suggestion of getting married to one of the twins to him. He rejected the idea of marrying into the royal family instantly to his mother, who fired back and told him that he would never go back on the promise, that he had made to her about getting married. Hendrix who could not take the pressure that his mother had put against him, left the house and made his way to the palace, only to hear another heartbreaking news from Ayden that Azalea now served at Edla's chambers. Veins popped out strongly of Hendrix's arm that almost broke the rod he clung tightly to, when Ayden had told him how the situation had occured including the queen. He could never, ever, get married into the spiteful royal home with Etheldreda as his wife's mother, and one of the twins as his bride and Luna of the Haystars. What was his mother even thinking, when she struck a bargain with the queen. That wasn't what he wanted. It wasn't even
