"Lisa?" he called, She dropped the knife immediately and looked at him. "Oh, Liam you're back?" She darts at Aurora and back at him. "What are you doing with that?" He asked, coming closer. "Oh, Aurora dropped this, after placing her on the bed, I picked it up" Lisa smiles. "You should be careful with those" Liam giggled. "Yeah, I think she cut herself" She says, Lisa picks the knife from the floor.. "What?" "I am just kidding, but she yelled, cried before going to sleep" Lisa says. "Why?" "She believes Lady Gina's serving girl died because of her" "Thank you, Lisa" Liam glanced around. "You're welcome, well then I think I should excuse you" she breathed. "Lisa?" He called. "Yeah?" She turned around, holding a coat in her hand. "I'm sorry for the death of your grandmother" He says, Lisa looked over to Aurora "Does she know yet?" Lisa cleared her throat, sucking in the flood of tears. "I will let her know" he says, Lisa smiled and nodded. "Goodnigh
It was the morning of fall, the weather cloudy and the breeze cold, despite the weather, the Kingdom was happy, people danced around and made joyful noises. Aurora sat by the window watching how joyful they were, women, men and children gathered around, performing what they could. Ever since the announcement of the Queen, the Kingdom had been noisy all night and day. The sound of music, drums and shouting was so disturbing to the new Queen, Aurora Dan. Meanwhile, Liam Dagon, King of Nuland, is dressed up and ready for his big day, finally, he decided to get married. Liam's reputation is known to be a fearful one, a rude and frightening king. This king, some say, murders brutally, and despite that, he was a great king, one to never lose or let go of his own. The door opens and a maiden comes in, holding her hands close to her abdomen, and she spoke "Sire, the banquets are ready." She said, with her head lowered down. "Leave" he replied, slowly she took a step backwards, and when she
Aurora arrived at the Palace, she couldn't stop staring around, it was so beautiful and yet looked normal, wasn't so lavished as she expected. The palace looked so small, they walked into a building and headed upstairs, she wondered if the king had a meeting this late. She began to wonder how her presence at the palace was needed but she didn't care to ask, she followed till they arrived at a door.It opened, and they helped her in, Aurora managed a smile walking in."The king demands you rest," The old lady says, Aurora nods with a smile. "Is this my room?" Aurora asked curiously, with a wide-eyed gaze."Yes, I would come to you early in the morning, so take a rest." she said scanning her, "You would need to get prepared," she said. "Oh," Aurora looks down at herself and back at the lady. "Okay," she shrugged. The lady makes it out of the room, Aurora turns around and is stunned by the beauty of the room. It had a dark vibe and was so expensive, she couldn't count the amount of g
Thunder hits the sky followed by lightning, and the heavy rain poured, washing the earth. Aurora sat in the tunnels that lead the water out of the palace. Her clothes were soaked and her hair sticking to her skin, wet. Her legs were already turning white. "I should be safe here for now," She thought to herself while she sat dark tunnel close to the palace gate, waiting for the guards to leave. She is dressed in a long white bathing robe and no shoes, she wrapped herself in her arms, hoping and praying to her god, she leaves safe without getting noticed. Aurora hears the bell ringing, and her eyes open wide, she wondered why the bell kept ringing. Her heart tremendously beat hard, her wet hands shaking from fear. "Her highness is missing!" A male voice roared. Her breathing increased, and she curled herself tightly, listening to the bell ring loud around the citadel. Aurora hears movements around her, and quietly she pushes herself together, making sure she made no noise."Damn! h
The night was quiet and dark, and the sounds of the cricket covered the air, the chill breeze found its way into Aurora's chambers, making her uncomfortable, and curling herself in the sheets. It was three in the morning when the door to her chambers opened, and Liam stepped in. He dressed in a white long robe, and pants as he approached her, he had no shirt on, and restless and unable to sleep, he decided to visit his soon-to-be bride. In his hands, he held a glass of liquor with him, and the moonlight gave him a view. He stared at the sleeping bride on the bed, she looked so peaceful and charming, he assumed as she didn't move an inch. He walked to the window, staring and enjoying the view of his kingdom, while she slept quietly, he would sip his drink gently trying his best not to alarm her.Aurora rolled over, having a long stretch, and gently her eyes opened, something had caught her attention, a figure standing by her window, from what she could see it seemed like a man... He
The car parked and arrived at the main Palace at sunset. Aurora's eyes opened, she had just gotten to the car, why? She had just closed her eyes briefly and she arrived at the Palace. She looked out the window, and this wasn't the place she was the last time. This one was different. It had really long stairs. She would get tired from those long stairs, she thought... The castle of Nuland was just beautiful and now she was a fairytale Queen, the warm painting was cosy, the windows were small, and each window was either dark or had a light shining through, she could as well, see people walk through from her distance they looked smaller. She wondered how many rooms were built, it was beautiful and unimaginable. Impatiently, she opened the car door, and stepping out, a sound escaped her mouth, "Wow!" Her eyes shot wide at the beauty standing firmly in her front.Looking around, she spotted a green garden, so beautiful, she could run into and play all day, why was this so perfect, she h
"Alex?" She whispered, staring at him."What's wrong?" Queen Tracy asked, Aurora turns in her direction, stupefied, who could tell her he would be in the palace, she thought hard for a reply but her chest hurt ten times more, remembering Alex once told her, he was schooling and not working, all this while how did he spend her money. A loud sigh escaped her lips, and Aurora gulped."What?" Aurora blinked severally, Grand Queen looked at Alex, he lowered his head, and Aurora cleared her throat, directing her attention to her, "Your Grace?" Aurora calls with a lingering smile. Despite the chest pain, Aurora managed a smile, this was the best for her, to ignore him, at least she could do that for the time being. What was he doing here anyway? She battled with her thoughts."That's enough introduction for the night, you should get some rest," She says, Aurora nods. This was perfect she needed to be away from him, and her limpid eyes caught a side glance, Alex was doing just fine acting li
In the middle of the night, a door creaked open followed by the lights of the passage, a man walks in quietly as if he sneaked in. The chamber was dark but he didn't bother to turn off the light, he walked in confidently assuming he knew his way around. Liam takes off his robe, sitting at the edge of the bed, exhausted, he had his hands on the bed, as he breathed in and out slowly. On the other hand, Aurora lay on her bed, sleeping, not caring about what was going on comfortably wrapped in a white duvet. Liam looked back at her and smirked, happy to see her sleep relaxed. "Good for you," he murmured. Liam takes off his shirt and tosses it on the bed. He walked straight to the bathroom, and he gradually takes off the rest of his outfit. Stepping out of the shower with a white towel sagging on his waist. Liam pauses surprised by her awaken presence, she sat on the bed with the lights on, and her gaze is focused on his body. Aurora's eyes meets his and they both stared at each oth
