Zora couldn't tell what was more shocking to her, the fact that Landon had caught them in such a position or that she found his intrusion into the prince chambers quite disrespectful, what if he was naked? Was this normal for his men, was Landon always like this? She had sensed the personality of Landon just from their encounter last night, she could bet Aegen wouldnt do such, he appeared more calm and reasonable than Landon. No matter how great the news was it still wasn't justifyable to disrespect the prince privacy like that. Only the maids were allowed to enter his chambers to prepare him for the day without permission nothing could explain his rudeness. Edgar had interpreted Zora's expression, it was asking the question why his guard had to barge in on him. He knew Landon too well and the only time he ever went off boundaries was when things were unavoidably serious and the last time he had done something like this was when he brought the news of Elnora's disappearance, now he th
It was a huge moment for the royal family seeing Elnora actually awake, Gilbert the royal physician had had sleepless night trying to come up with a natural cure for her even though he strongly believed that it was the work of a witch but king Egbert was way too stubborn to accept the truth. The librarian had also had his fair share of sleepless nights going through the rows of the library reading day and night to come across anything that talked about a stone like the Garmot but all their efforts were in vain. King Egbert felt his soul hurt, words could not describe how much his Celestial daughter meant to him. He lovesd her more than anyone and he was scared to loose her. He was just a day away from bending to the fact that it was indeed the handwork of a witch but he was greeted with the blissful news of Elnora's wake. Without haste he hurried to her chambers not even a word to his Queen, all he wanted to do was see her and have the visual confirmation and there she was glowing in C
Edgar walked the long corridor with Landon right behind him, he had made sure that the king's order were received by the court messenger who was to relay the message to officials. He was in a spirited mood he still couldn't believe that the sleeping princess was finally awake and it was all thanks to the physician, yes the physician like he was punched in the brain he realized how rude he had been earlier when he heard the news, he did not look at her not a single gesture of appreciation, the memory of how he pulled her to the bed and her shocked eyes flashed through his mind. He had even suspected her but then why was she sitting so close to him. He felt a pinch in his mind when he realized how she looked at him, it harboured no threat but instead admiration. A spark of joy glistened in his heart. She did admire him and yet he treated her so rudely. Wait! What was she doing in his room? And how did she get there? "Prince Edgar." Landon's voice brought him to a halt. He paused in his
Once she was done preparing the prince room, she strolled the work way that led to the store where she was to return her working materials. It wasn't long and she was already standing in front of the store house. She paused as she looked at the door as if to study it more seriously. She remembered her first expression when she saw the place earlier, the place was huge and sharpened with fine polish. Another maid had directed her to the store house noting that she was the new maid. She had not paid much attention to the place earlier cause needed to hurry up with the prince room. A voice cleared behind her, startling her at the same time. She recollected her herself from her thoughts. An Amber eyed maid stood behind her, her thick wavy blonde hair resting it's length on both side of her shoulders. Her hands were brought to a tie as she tucked her fingers in-between each other while holding the handle of her working materials in them."Mm... I believe you mean to be here." Her tender voi
She kept her head low trying not to look directly at Nora, her hands were brought together in front of her resting in her skirt as she adopted an ignorant and innocent countenance but the old lady wasn't having it."Answer me! Nora's voice came roaring. The maids flinched at her commanding voice, Zora thought she was too mean for a new maid like her."I just felt too excited, I'm sorry but I didn't think of the consequences." Zora replied as humbly as she could."Your act of stupidity is going to cause your mates same punishment as you. You are new here and observation should be a first consideration. If the prince does not approve of you what do you think will be done to me?" Nora roared again. Zora could not help but roll her eyes while her head was still bent. The old lady was probably exaggerating, from the little she had heard about the prince he wasn't such a mean person and since Nora was aged she doubted he'd even let her get punished for the mistake."I am sincerely sorry." Zo
Martha followed sheepishly behind Landon as he led the way, she was trying to keep up with his pace, he was walking fast while holding her not realizing he was too fast for her. He just needed to get her out of that environment. After they had walked some distance he stopped making her hastened steps to halt as well, he let go of her hand turning slowly to face her. She was silent her head bent avoiding his gaze, she was still embarrassed that he had witnessed such scene and at the same time she was scared to tell him about his mother's wristband. "You don't need to worry about me I'm fine, so please go back to your duty." She said softly and pleadingly, moving her steps closer to the wall. Landon couldn't believe this woman right now, he knew she was hurting seriously from the whip and even though she tried so hard to hide her teary eyes from him he could tell she was teary. Her voice also bore her sadness and it was killing him to see her like that. He wanted to protect her always,
It was a long day for Elnora, the only ease she got from being locked up in her room was that her mother had been with her all through the day refusing to leave her side. It was going to be difficult from now on, her father would leave her confined to her room for as long as he felt she was safe there, this was the major reason for her acceptance to leave the castle in the first place. She had late visits at the end of the day from Edgar and the king, aside the brief moments they could spare to see her. They were away for the whole day attending to important matters that obviously had to do with her. Now that she was awake her enemies would certainly make another attempt to get their hands on her, so the castle's security was tightened even more, her room was the most protected and everyone leaving and entering the castle were made to pass a more thorough search test regardless of position. "My dear," her mother's caring voice called. She was laying facing the ceiling even though she
"Mother...." She turned back to meet her mother who was already out of bed and walking towards her. Queen Audrey felt a ton of relieve seeing that she was safe, she walked in a haste towards Elnora pulling her into her embrace, Elnora didn't expect the sudden hug so she delayed in reciprocating, she figured her mother was acting out of worry for her. She sighed, loosening herself, her arms stretched out to wrap around her mother. After a brief moment they seperated from each other's embrace. Queen Audrey let her hand cup Elnora's face, her breath still heavy recovering from her previously anxious state."You got me scared." She said in a low voice. Elnora could feel her emotions in her words, she didn't want it be like this, she was finally awake, all she needed from her family was for them to be happy and enjoy every moment from now on but they were too busy worrying every second about her and suffocating her with protection. She knew it was for the best but couldn't help how it made
