Chapter eight:

At the castle, The queen was there in the throne room talking to Amelia, they stood by the side.
"I woke up this morning vomiting and feeling dizzy, do you think that it is the sign of pregnancy?" She asked.
Amelia with a happy face she said. "I think so, you should go to the clairvoyant and ask him, he will even tell you how long have you been pregnant, my queen." Amelia said.
"Amelia, I want you to be there with me." Eleanor said with a smile on face.
Lord Lewis entered the room and bent for the queen.
"My queen, excuse for pointing like this but I have the same news for you." He said.
"Amelia, I want you to go and inform him that I will be there this afternoon." Eleanor said to Amelia.
And Amelia bent for her.
"Excuse me, my queen!" Amelia said.
She was displaced, to pass on Lord Lewis and said. "My lord!" And left the room.

The queen approached the throne and took a seat and lord Lewis stepped a little closer.
"What can I help you with, lord Lewis?" She asked. "The friendly kingdoms are going crazy that is the black women who're on the throne in Silverscale and it is everywhere right now but they haven't said anything yet about that for real but it will come and they will not let you continue on your throne." He said.
The queen was scared that she had no idea about how to deal with such things.
"What...do you think we can do about that?" She asked. "The only way my queen, is to organize the meeting with them and talk about it." He said. "I think you can deal with that as you are intelligent but if you need help I will be there, your Majesty!" He added.
The queen stood up where she was and got closer to him.
"I need your help, lord Lewis."honestly she said.
"Always as you wish my queen!" He said.

Afternoon, the queen and Amelia went to see the clairvoyant who lives there at the castle.
Lady Anastasia came to see the queen before she arrived, they met in the corridor and they stopped to talk, Amelia and Bryan were behind the queen and bent for Lady Anastasia.
"Stepmother!" Eleanor said.
Lady Anastasia smiled on that one and said.
"True!"
"What can I help you with, mother?" Eleanor asked.
"I know where you are going and what lord Lewis told you." Anastasia said.
"He told you, then?" Eleanor asked. "No need to tell me, my queen! Everyone says that of course when you are not around...don't be shocked that it's the same with people who walk every time behind you." Anastasia said that looking at Amelia and Bryan and the queen smiled.
"I can tell." Eleanor said.
Lady Anastasia came closer to her in the face murmuring in her ear.
"Pray that to be a boy or you will have more enemies than you have now."
The queen looked at her in the eyes so scary but she said. "Thanks for the advice, mother!" Eleanor said that with a smile on face.
They continued their way.

To arrive there the queen was the only one to get in as the clairvoyant only welcomed one person who needed him.
She sat in front of him and served her the tea. The queen took it politely and drank it.

The clairvoyant was old and his face looked scared as his place he stayed in.
"I'm glad that finally you are here, my queen! I was always wondering when you would show up." He said.
"I'm truly sorry that I didn't come here irregularly while my father was your friend." She said.
"I can say that but...it was only that he had the problems." He said.
"Tell me, my queen! What brought you here?" He asked.
The queen sighed and said. "I wanna know the sex of the baby I'm carrying, my lord! " She said.

While the queen went to see the clairvoyant, lord Arthur invited his little family to talk to them in their place to stay in the castle.
"I made you come here to talk about you, Aurora. As my father asked me to look for your husband and I think this is the time to talk about it. Don't you think so sister?" Arthur asked.
"I'm ready...I think you found someone, if you are talking about this now." Aurora said.
"Is that so? Son! I will be glad if you did, Aurora She's a grown woman now and I don't think she wants to stay here forever." Austin said. "Yes! Father, it's been years lord Kenneth asked me for Aurora's hand." He said. "Ohh!" Aurora said, she wasn't expecting that.
"He always asked me if you were ready and I was like quiet but I thought about it today and I saw that he's a good man with honneur and he respects everyone in general and I think he can be good to you, sister." Arthur said.
"I always wanted Aurora to be married to an honored man and I know Kenneth is." Austin said.
They looked at lady Aurora. "What do you think of him, daughter?" Austin asked.
"Ah...I know you always wanted good things for me and of course I wished to have a family, and Kenneth, I have nothing to approach him as I grow up watching him with you, brother! But...I don't think that he will have time for me as he's always with warriors taking care of the kingdom." She said.
"Sister, you don't have to be worried about that if he loves you of course he will find time for you. Don't look at me and Eleanor we...are different." Arthur said.
"Not about you two but you, I always lived in the fear that something will happen to you at the battlefield and you want me to marry someone who will go and leave me with children, what do you think I will be doing at that time?" She asked.
"I appreciate both of you for taking care of me and I never wished to go positive side with you two but my heart is pure to live with that kind of hurt holding in my heart." She added.
"I don't know what to say after this sister!" Arthur said.
"Just to give me time to think about it." She replied.

Back to clairvoyant and the queen. After doing what he does to see what he wants to see, he looked at her and said. "It's a boy!" The queen's happiness wrote in her face. "How glad i am to listen to this, my lord! And...how long is this creation in me?" She asked. "Three months, my queen!" He responded. "Everyone will be happy to hear this." She said.
About to leave and he added. "He's a blessing but he will come with problems, no one will be happy for him except his father." He said.
"What...about step mother? She was..." About to say anything else and he interrupted her saying.
"With...someone...you shouldn't...give your trust...she's in, long time ago...she did something bad...and I think that devil is still in her." He said.
"What...are you talking about?" "I...don't understand what... you are meaning." "Tell me my lord."
She continued questioning him but after saying that he stayed quiet so she had no other choice and she left confused.

At night lord Arthur came to get rest in the room and Eleanor was there standing in front of the bed with a smile on face waiting for him. He was confused.
"What are you doing standing here and smiling like that?" He asked.
The queen got closer to him and took his hands gently and put on her belly.
"The little king is here!" She said with a short and soft voice.
Lord Arthur was happy for real and lifted her turning her around after putting her down he kissed her.
"I can't believe, he's here!" He said.
Arthur touched her in the face with his both hands.
"I want you to know that I will do anything to see you and my son happy and love both of you and only you until the rest of my life." He said.
The queen with tears rolling in eyes and she nodded.
"I love you, Arthur!" She said.
"Are you for real, if not..." Eleanor stopped him for talking and kissed him.
"I really do, I don't ask you to tell me that back, I just want you to know." She said.
And they kept kissing.

Pyre Fall in the North, lord Albany was in this office with lady Ameera on the seat having a conversation.
Between their conversation lord Denver said.
"My beautiful decent wife after she gave me three amazing boys, she had nothing else to offer me as it was the only thing I wanted." He said.
Lady Ameera was shocked by all that was coming out of his mouth.
"Anything she could do wasn't making me keep her on my side so I decided to kill her in front of my children so they couldn't grow up asking me questions, I told them that I did that because I think women are just to give you what you want and after that they became useless but I didn't say they have to do it with their own wife. That was my choice." He added.
"You can see that they didn't take it seriously, they are just like you, do you really think after having a Nathaniel child he will keep me alive while he's treating me like an object?" She asked.
"My boys are different, Nathaniel is obsessed with who I am, he thinks that all I do he should do it which I don't like on him. And Jeffrey is the evil one he does the bad things without caring what the consequences will be and says and do all what came in his head which makes him my favorite and Ryan after his mother to die he became a man with few words, he has a good side in him even if he doesn't show that, as he was born in the vilen family he can't show it and I hate him for that." He said.
Lady Ameera gives a short smile. "Maybe you are right, you know them very well and why still my lord, do you let me come into your family and marry one of your sons to your friend's daughter?" She asked.
Lord Denver laughed at her. "You shouldn't be blaming me or my sons, yeah! We have those bad characters but you should be blaming your father for letting you get married here while he knows what about our family." He said.
Lady Ameera shaking her head saying. "That's a lie, my father would never do that to me."
"He was my close friend at the time when I killed my wife." He said.
Lady Ameera was shocked to hear that.

In the morning lady Ameera wakes up after spending all night thinking about her and what her father did to her but she had nothing to do about it and just kept living the life she hates.
She went to say goodbye to Grace who was fired,
About to get a ride on a horse with an escort of the manor house who will bring the horse back after posing her to her home.
They gave them time to say goodbye.
Lord Nathaniel and lord Jeffrey were watching them on the other side before they left for their work.

Grace and lady Ameera hugging.
"I'm sorry that it's my fault you got fired while I promised you that it wouldn't.happen." Ameera said.
"I know you couldn't do anything to help me and don't think I regret to have helped you, my lady." Grace said.
"I don't know how it's going to be without you here, Grace!" Ameera said.
While they were talking lord Denver and lord Ryan came from inside and approached the women. Lord Ryan standing behind his father and lord Nathaniel and lord Jeffrey kept watching them from a part.
"Lady Ameera!" Lord Denver said and they looked back at them.
"My lord, I was saying goodbye to Grace, she's going back to her home." Ameera said.
"That will not be necessary, I changed my mind." Albany said.
"You did?" Ameera asked.
Grace is happy backwards.
"I mean, Ryan just talked to me and he convinced me that you will be needing her here." Albany said. "What I told you about my sons wasn't a lie." He added.
Lady Ameera gives a short smile.
"Thank you, my lord I will never forget this." Grace said to both of them.
"Grace, I want you to always remember that doing stupid things gives bad things, next time I will not be convinced by anyone." Albany said. "I will keep that in mind, my lord." Grace said.
"Thank you, lord Denver!" Ameera said.
Lord Denver left and they were happy to stay together.
Lady Ameera approached lord Ryan.
"Thanks for helping me even if you think I wanna kill you." She said.
They shared a smile and lord Ryan left the place too, lady Ameera was shocked that he didn't add a word.
But she didn't think about that much and helped Grace to put her stuff back in the house.

Lord Denver assembled his population in a public place where they held up and tied those three men who were about to kill lady Ameera and Grace,
They were tied up in three different woods and people were behind and beside looking at them and lord Denver and his sons with lady Ameera sitting up in front of people, Grace and other guards behind their chair.
Lord Denver asked lord Ryan to take the place as the oldest.
Lord Ryan stood up and got closer to those three men.
"I want you to pay attention to these men, these men took the opportunity and hunted lady Ameera and her maid in the woods, they wanted to kill them but still they don't want to tell us why and who they serve. So we decided to punish them and all we could think of as a punishment is to burn them alive..." Ryan said in the loud voice.
People murmuring, they were shocked by the decision.
"...And after burning their body they will stay here so anyone could learn something. I want you to get ready cause I will find myself someone who wanted sister-in-law dead and what he wants from us." He added. "If he's a man, I need him to show up and face me, I will not say what will happen next." Lord Ryan was angry.
No one showed up they were just listening to him.
"If there's no objections we can go on act. Guard!" He shouted.

One of the guards standing there got the fire on a wood and burned them up, people were afraid.
Lady Ameera breathing heavily listening to them shouting, she could live it and stood up quickly and took the arrows that were there aside and shot one by one an arrow for each ones heart of those men.
All people presently looked at her shocked especially the Denver's family they had no idea that she knew how to shoot an arrow.
And things ended in that way.

During the day,
In the woods there has been deforestation which is still in progress and lord Ryan was there watching on men who were doing that.

Men who were doing that they have been allowed by lord Denver and they gave him 50% in what they get in those woods.
They are all not okay with it, as all other activities he always gets 50% of their gain, even one day they tried to strike but it didn't end well as many people were killed by lord Denver's men.
They stopped it and tried to live in his way as the one who's in control of the north.
Lord Nathaniel came to talk to lord Ryan and he gave him time.
"Hey brother, do you need something?" Ryan asked gently.
"I want to know why you are being helpful to my wife?" Nathaniel asked.
Lord Ryan was confused and asked. "What do you mean, by there?"
"I know you don't talk much brother and I know you are kind of nice to someone you care about too." Nathaniel said.
"You asked, father to let Grace Stay with Ameera because you didn't want to see her sad and when they  disappeared you were like crazy looking for them." He added.
"I say nothing but what would happen if you were the one to find her in those woods?" He added.
Lord Ryan looked at him with a disappointed face, he knew what he wanted to mean.
"I'm so disappointed to think that on me but what tells you that I didn't do all that for Grace?"
Lord Ryan went back to what he was doing, lord Nathaniel ferrous went back home.

Lady Ameera was in the kitchen cooking dinner when lord Jeffrey entered the room. Lady Ameera saw him and took the knife in her hand pointing him so nervous.
"I'm not gonna do it in the kitchen, relaxe!" He said.
"Like you would touch me again."
She said while looking at him in an annoyed mood.
"Is that why you are holding a knife?" He asked. "Try me!" She responded.
"I would like to know why you didn't say something to anyone." He asked.
"Nothing would change and I don't think I did that to protect you or whatever." She said.
"If you don't bother, I need you to leave, I have to finish what I'm doing." She added.
Lord Jeffrey smiled and left her there.
Lady Ameera put the knife down shaking, she was scared taking the breath she was holding.

Frost Harbor kingdom the night in prince Audrey room he's with princess Madeline they started having sexual time together after the last talk but they didn't tell anyone about it. Except for princess Madeline who told Amelia.
Princess Madeline was putting her clothes on about to go back in her room.
"Your mother doesn't like me,  she thinks I want something for you which you don't know about and if she finds out this she will think this was my target." She said and looked at the prince after wearing her gown.
"I think we should stop this before it goes bad." She added.
Prince Audrey got up on the bed and got closer to her.
"Don't be like that, no one will know before the right time we choose. Our plan is against theirs." He said.
They smiled and kissed.

In the morning, Queen Clarence invited princess Madeline in the garden to share her tea so they could talk.
She accepted the invitation and joined her on the seat.
"I was extremely happy to hear your invitation, Queen Clarence!" She said. "Since you came here we never spoke correctly and still we hate each other." Clarence said.
"I don't think we hate each other, it's just that we don't know each other." Madeline said.
"The tea is amazing, Queen!" She said.
"My mother was an expert in tea preparing and she taught me how to do it, now I can do it exactly like her." Clarence said.
"You must miss her so much." Madeline said.
The queen nodded. "She was an amazing woman who knew what she wanted."Clarence said. "What about your mother?" The queen asked her.
Princess Madeline smiled for a short time and said.
"I...can say that she always fights for what she wants even if she uses the worst method but she always reaches for what she wants."
"What do you think, she thinks, you went?" Clarence asked.
"I don't know that they have any idea where I am but I know, mother would never leave the castle while she knows that all she needs is there." She said.
"She still wants the throne too?" Clarence asked. "Yes! Before I left she was telling me that she will take it back but I didn't want to wait for her as I don't want this to be for long and to take much time. I'm even now impatient to see myself back in my kingdom and as the queen." Madeline said.
Queen Clarence smiled. "I'm sorry to say that I don't like women who are like you, who want to get what does not belong to them and make like they deserve it. It shows that they don't love but pretend." Clarence said.
Princess Madeline nodded so sad.
"I don't want you to hurt my son, woman. His a good man." She added.
"Why do you mean?" Madeline asked.
Queen Clarence laughed and stood up about to leave and princess Madeline stood up behind him and seemed worried.
"What do you mean, I don't understand." Madeline asked.
Queen Clarence looked back at her, staring at her. "I told you you may be able to fool others but not me." She said.
Queen Clarence left her in the garden and princess Madeline was confused and scared.

Princess Madeline was ferrous and she went to see Prince Audrey who was in his office writing a letter.
"I think your mother knows about us." She said. "Did she tell you that?" He asked. "No...no, exactly she meant that like...stay away from my son he's a good man." She said.
Princess Madeline got closer to the table.
"Prince Audrey, I don't want your father to know about this or all I wanted will not happen and he will send me back home." She said.
Prince Audrey stood up and got closer to her and held her hands.
"You have to calm down or you will be the one to ruin it, mother will not say anything to father and If you want I will talk so you could be sure. I need you to trust me." He said.
Princess Madeline nodded.

Star Fell in South,
Lady Raya was looking for someone who will be taking care of lady Dorothy because she needed Beatrice for herself she couldn't give her to someone else and Laura to hear about that she was the first to look for the job and lady Raya had no reason to not give her the job but lord David had no idea.

In lady Dorothy's room, Laura was there helping Lady Dorothy to wear the gown and get ready for the promenade she will have with lord David.
"Have you ever seen lord David with a woman?" Dorethy asked.
Laura took time to answer and said "I'm...sorry but I don't know." "Come on, you work here, how you don't know?" Dorethy asked.
"We are not allowed to talk about our lord, I'm extremely sorry to not give you the information you want, my lady!" Laura said.
After they finished to help her with the gown and went to sit on the bed so Laura could help her with the shoes too.
"Don't worry I'm not asking you something wrong and if you are afraid it will course your problem, don't worry I will not say a word to anyone." Dorethy said.
Laura finished putting her shoes on and kept sitting down.
"May I ask you why you wanna know about that and again ask me instead of him, my lady?" Laura asked looking her in the eyes.
"I just wanna know, so I could see how to act with him." Dorethy said.
They knocked on the door and Laura stood up to open and it was lord David and he was surprised to see Laura in the room.
"What are..." He didn't finish.
Lady Dorethy came closer to the door and Laura had no time to answer.
"You came to pick me, my lord?" Dorethy asked.
Lord David nodded twice. "Yes, I am but I have to talk to someone first" He said.
"Will you allow me, my lady?" He asked.
"You may, my lord. I will be waiting for you on the porch." Dorethy said.
Lord David gave her his hand and she gave her hand back to him.
"I will be dilated, my lord." Dorethy said.
They left.

Laura took a breath while walking to the kitchen and lord David came back and surprised her from behind and took her aside where no one could see.
"What the hell were you thinking to come by here and act like a maid?" He asked.
"Your mother was looking for someone who will be taking care of her and I proposed first." She said. "I...need money!" She added.
"Oh! Please, you are a farmer not a maid and don't tell me that you need money because I solved the problem you had, didn't I?" He asked.
"So you are going to tell me why you are here?" He asked with an angry voice.
"Because I wanna be with you, right! I don't want to stay away while there's a woman they want you to marry." She shouted.
Lord David was surprised, he took time to say something and Laura was scared to have said that.
"This will be the last time you shout at me like that and I don't like the jealous woman...because they don't think." He said.
Lord David left her there and Laura tears rolling in the eyes.

On the promenade lady Dorethy took time to talk with lord David about them. They were sitting beside the river on the bench and two guards standing behind them.
"I know parents did this because they want us to get married and if that happens I want you to know that if you have a woman you like or if you want to see other women I will not have a problem with it but only if you make me know about everything and give me all the respect I deserve and I will not bother." She said.
Lord David looked at her shocked and asked her. "You don't want me as husband?"
She smiled and responded. "Not that, if you want me I will be there for you, I just want to tell you that you will be free with me because I know you didn't want this to happen." She said.
He smiled. "I don't want to be anyone's problem." She added.
Lord David had nothing to add and just said. "Thank you!"

The night at dinner, lord David realized that he could be stupid if he let lady Dorethy leave then he announced to the family that he was gonna marry lady Dorethy, Laura was behind the door and heard him announcing his marriage and run away crying.
The family was happy about the announcement.
