People reveled to the point of intoxication, performances filled the bustling market square as they celebrated the arrival of their new queen.

Chapter 22 - final rite.She said nothing as she stared into my eyes, her face mirroring mine due to the black and white makeup. My breath hitched in my throat as I took in her appearance. Dressed like a celestial being, her whole body was covered and her sleeves were large, Her eyes held a vibrant color of emerald and a tear slipped from her eyes, I raised my hands like a reflex and caught it. I felt a surge of electricity coursing through me as she gave me a warm smile. The colors disappeared right after her as I finally recovered myself.Strange enough the people carried on as if nothing happened. I couldn't have imagined that right? That was Natalí and she appeared to me. And gave me her tears, my head went fuzzy as the stone went back to normal but it wasn't blue anymore but green. The shade of emerald green that I love so much. Does that mean I'm kind of powerful now?People stared at the stone in shock at the color change, even Annalise couldn't keep the shock off her face.

Chapter 24 - The King's Oath.“ is anyone there? Who is that?”My entire body trembled violently in fear as I heard the sheathing of the sword. Who would want to kill me? Inside Natalí's temple? I thought everyone in Nayak revered everything of Natalí's as holy and pure. Who dares harm Natalí's chosen queen? Before my thoughts could balance, a strike of the sword was aimed towards my head, I don't know where the instincts to dodge in time came from but I was glad it overrode my tears. Even though it was dark and I couldn't see anything, I was able to dodge successfully.My hearing became twice as sharp as I listened to their heartbeats and I counted, there were five of them and with the negative energy and killing intents radiating from them, they were assassins. Who will send assassins to kill me? I don't even know anyone except the king and Annalise. Could it be one of the king's consorts? A member of the court? And since when can I sense energy and killing intentions? Does it have

Chapter 26 Long Live the Queen.“ Thank Natalí you are safe! I was so scared when I heard the news” Annalise cried while she fixed an emerald hairpin with gold tips at the back of my bun. After the incident at the temple, the king and I went to the palace without speaking to each other. Even though we rode together on his horse, we didn't utter a word to each other. His rock-hard muscles wrapping around my small soft body almost made me give up on the silent treatment and just ask him to stop the horse and wrap his arms around me properly. Keyword is almost, I wouldn't ask that asshole for anything even if I was dying.Immediately I got back to my temporary room at the pavilion of women, I couldn't resist the bed. I just slept almost instantly my body touched the soft material, I only woke up when the maids led by Annalise came to wake me up so I could be ready for the wedding.Well, I should have known that news travels faster than anything in the palace, everyone already knew about

Chapter 28 hmmmm your majesty?.“ The king is kissing me” A distant voice in my fuzzy head whispered as his lips claimed mine hungrily. The alcohol in my body was out before I could blink. His lips were unbelievably soft and I couldn't help but put my hands at the back of his head to have more access to fucking intoxicating lips. I was a little bit embarrassed when a soft moan escaped from my lips. The kiss was everything I had never experienced before, so sweet and savory, a little bit demanding but pleasurable.He broke the kiss after we both ran out of air. I stare at him under my clouded lashes to see his face tinted with a bright shade of pink.“ Hmm, your majesty? Are you kissing me?” I asked trying to hold back my blush, but the thought got me more excited than I expected. The questions I asked were the most senseless thing but I couldn't help myself from asking, maybe it was the alcohol speaking or he was just driving me nuts.“ Shut your pretty mouth before I do it for you,”
