Cool breeze, bright sun and butterflies in the garden didn't fit the current situation
"What do you suggest we do?"
"Getting the princess a husband is something we can not rush. I've noticed as of late she's doing absolutely well and the people are beginning to recognize her."
This was far more worse than expected. Not that she didn't like her daughter been useful and all but it's in the way of her plans
"Let's just focus on reviving the old law bit by bit. Just do as we've planned and everything will fall into place."
There was more assurance that she could get what she wants in the soonest. She just have to make good use of some lovely pawns around.
....
"Any luck yet!"...
Moans and subtle screams can heard,all necks bow,the one true villain is making a speech
"Yes great one...!"
Fear and feeble feet,the so called great one sighs...
"Enough with the great one crap! Making me look more old is not what I intend Casper!"
That didn't lighten up the fear in him one bit
"Come closer!"....
It seems he's really going to die. Thank goodness he had his last meal and time with his woman. He should be able to die without regret
That's what he thought until....
"Strip nicely for me!"...
Not this again....how can he endure this! He didn't dare refuse...did as he was told.
"Head over to her and show me what you can do to her as a man!"....
Casper gulped...
A young girl.... barely in her twenties
shakes in fear. Her mouth gagged with rag. Casper felt pity for her. Left to him he wouldn't touch her, rather he'll find a way to take her from here to somewhere safe
But the only way for him to be safe at this point is to rest his rod in-between her. And that could save her head if he perform nicely
The so called great one knew Casper was beyond scared. And the only reason why he'd listen is because of his father. Even more than that!
He was as ruthless and devious. Even more than his father.
"Your highness....it is set. He shall fall tonight!"
Now a good news
"Casper...go! Take your slut with you and don't let me see her again!"
Casper and the girl was more then happy. They didn't show it. Bow.....and run!
"Scaring him like that?"....
"He just needs to know I'm more dangerous than the king he fears!"
"How's Audrey doing?"
"She's doing just fine. From the information I got she's called the warrior princess. Well taken care of!"
He nods...very satisfied
"Roman.... would she want to stay here? With me...with us?"
The sad look on his eyes was indescribable and ran so deep into his soul
"I doubt it. But after the clean up. She should. After all she's to be your wife"
They thought it made sense but it didn't.
.....
It didn't take long, princess Elena and her brother had overstayed their welcome and now that they'll be leaving, Alexander feels more happy and relieved to get rid of two pest.
The Queen beamed with so much smile, feeling more light now that the drama is going away
"I hope you'll come around and see me! I was too busy I didn't spend time with you at all!" Adrien whined
"I certainly will. Don't worry about that okay,those biscuits did a good job cheering me up!"
Isabella smiled... Adrien returned the smile feeling in his heart how wonderful it will be to wake up seeing a smile from Isabella.
He felt a hot gaze... knowing who it was he turned away. Dragging his reluctant sister by the hand
Off they went.
Opening the gate for more problems and drama.
....
Fast walks....clothes meeting and clashing
It was rather busy in the Palace.
The queen's birthday is around the corner and several preparations to make it lavish had long started.
Alexander found it annoying and unnecessary. Every year she'll make a big deal out of nothing. Dress in overly expensive jewelry and clothing just for what?
Few hours of celebration, dancing and nothing.
The royal finances would go dry if she keeps it up
Luckily Isabella had been quite busy fixing the holes.
Ensuring the produce and other items were exported successfully she kept track of every cent
Who would have thought a romace book reader would be so diligent
" Quite the hardwork and a uproar!'...
"Alex...stop whining!"... Isabella laughed
It seems the bridge between them is taking a new turn. Though built in layer of confusion, Isabella knew in her heart she can't avoid him forever. He has certain ways of making her go angrily mad if she ignores him
"Let's take a break!" Alexander suggested,his head in the crook of her neck, sniffling it slightly, finding peace in the warmth he feels
"A break...! Break off from my neck!"
She knew what happened afterwards.
Though it had been awhile since they last done it. With work, training and people everywhere they didn't have a chance to flirt together and that brought certain peace to Isabella stormy heart and mind.
