Chapter 5


The pair of twins understood that their wife wouldn't be easy to trifle with. She purposely let them drop their guard so she could take advantage of our nervousness. She demonstrated to us her ability to read people.

Seems like Queen Annabelle isn't fond of playing long-term mind games. If she was fond of it, we are sure that we wouldn't want to play her games. I guess it's a good thing that she defined her boundary.

The fact that they are chosen by Annabelle's husband and not her makes their a little situation worse. If we were chosen by the Queen, then they would have privileges by having her favor. Without her favor, we are just being used as decorations. Nevertheless, we are lucky to get the position that most men are vying to get.

Meanwhile, a few weeks have passed since Annabelle's new husbands entered the harem. Her new husbands were training, so they would able to do their responsibilities as Queen's assistants perfectly.

Annabelle's assistant Serena is mentoring them. They were tasked to fill Annabelle's schedule in their planner, so they would able to memorize Annabelle's schedule and they would also able to schedule appointments and events for the Queen.

They were doing this task in Annabelle's study room since Annabelle has a spacious study room and it's would be comfortable for her assistants to work next to her.

Annabelle as always would be sitting at her desks and approving the upcoming projects or disapproving them. While her husbands will be completing their task.

Serena entered the study room without knocking holding the document in her hand.

Annabelle looked up and said.

"You should learn how to knock Serena. What are you holding?"

"Prince Consort Nathaniel made a draft of the agreement for trading with the Siada Kingdom." 

Serena explained as she handed the document to Annabelle.


I looked at the document where Nathaniel wrote requirements for the Siada Kingdom. He had high requirements but he indeed knew better what kind of resources Ravendale needs.

"That fast huh? So far what are the opinions of Ministers and members of the court regarding the agreement." I asked my assistant Serena. She only blinked a few times before answering.

"Your Majesty, only a few people know about the agreement. You didn't announce that you would like to build a commercial relationship with the Siada Kingdom." She answered.

I never announced to the court? This would be a scandal if I sign the document without hearing the court's opinion first.

"When is the court meeting?" I asked Serena. Then Serena asked Alistair and Abel who currently rewriting my schedule. One of the twins started looking at the planner before answering me.

"It appears that the closest court meeting will be tomorrow." Abel answered.

"That's good, I will wait before reviewing and signing the agreement and tomorrow I will announce the news to the court." I out loud decided. Serena then proceeded to tell them to write down, so I wouldn't forget to announce it.

"Oh! your majesty, I almost forgot. Will you be announcing to the court that Noble Consort joined your harem?" Serena asked. I could only sigh. My newest husbands looked at me at the curiosity of what I was planning

Was I tired from the work that I keep forgetting to announce to the people and court about the important news?

"I don't think it's proper to announce to the court since my ancestors would always set up the debut in the upcoming ball." I answered as I put down the documents I was reviewing because I couldn't focus on work anymore.

I never intended to hide that I have gained second rank husbands, but their reputation and status would suffer in the social circle if I won't properly introduce my new husbands to the people.

"So you will be announcing at the upcoming Royal Autumn Ball?" Serena asked me.

"I guess that would be the best place to announce their debut and the next day we can announce in the newspapers."

"When will be the Royal Autumn Ball? I asked. This time Serena didn't ask my husbands.

"It should be a month from now." Serena informed.

"Oh God, we should be already preparing for it." I commented. Serena only nodded.

"The only thing is left is to prepare decorations for the ball, prepare the list of guests, and send out the invitations and prepare the menu. "

"Not much left, that is good. You can leave for today." I dismissed my assistant so she could go early home.

"You work hard, your majesty." I think Alistair commented, I only chuckled.

The asked the question that has an obvious answer.

"Why wouldn't you work hard? For your country and your people?"

"Your majesty is right, we admire your hard work but sometimes you should also need to rest." Abel said and I sighed.

I couldn't say anything. I should rest but I can't because I don't want to be an easily replaceable monarch. Maybe that is why my husbands found me, new husbands? So I could have some extra hand to help me? However, I see myself as a weak ruler.

"We should also properly finish early for today, besides you both would need to prepare for the debut from now on." The twins smiled gently.

Few weeks of training they understood that their wife cares about every detail regarding family and country. She is protective of her family. At least this detail about Annabelle made them feel relieved about their life in the Royal Palace.

Annabelle and her husbands their paperwork and left the study.Even though Annabelle finished her royal duties, she had other duties that were waiting for her.

Since Alistair and Abel are shifters they heard little steps coming towards the Queen and also the children's whisper.

Annabelle was tired of course but she couldn't deny her children's attention. When her children saw her, they instantly ran to hug her and ask her to play with them.

Her little cubs were smart, they knew the perfect time to find her.

The twins noticed Annabelle's gaze but tried to shrug it off. They understood that she is very protective of her children and she wanted to see if they were thread to her children.

They excused themselves and left Annabelle alone in the hallway with her children.

Luckily, her children didn't mind the new addition to the family. They are more focused on their mother more.

Her eldest child Elizabeth is now 10 years. Right now Elizabeth isn't shy like she used to be. She became a bright and outgoing child. She loves to play with her siblings and teaching them everything she can.

Angelina is a few minutes older than her twin brother and Annabelle's biological child. She and her brother gained most of the father's genes they have father's jet black colored hair but they inherited Annabelle's blue eyes. Angelina also inherited a bit of my personality. Nathaniel loved choosing dresses for his precious daughters but sometimes he can be obsessed with it. While Elizabeth would patiently try on dresses that Nathaniel would give her, Angelina will always try to sneak out from the dressing room and go either find Alexander or Annabelle.

Leofred or Leo for short is the only son in the family so Annabelle is more protective of him. Leo is a more obedient child than her husbands were his age according to Charlotte's story. He inhered her husband's charming looks. There will be a lot of ladies that would like to become his princess in the future.

She leads her children into their room playing with them until they were tired and she fell asleep in her children's bedroom.
