Chapter five:
Lord Nathaniel and Lady Ameera got married that day and the wedding went amazing, drinks, food was full and the dancing of happiness.
Ameera didn't take it seriously when Lady Tiana told her she didn't even ask the questions about it to anybody but it's really scary. On their wedding night it was amazing and Nathaniel was gentle with her and both were happy even if they were still shy to each other because they didn't know each other well yet.
Early in the morning lord Dakota took his way back in the south and Arthur took his way back to the castle. When he will need warriors he will just send a word to lord Denver and Dakota.
They gave lady Ameera the maid named Grace who will be taking care of her. Lady Ameera having her bath and Grace was helping her.
"I want to talk to my father before he went back home." Ameera said.
"I'm extremely sorry to tell you this but your father already left." Grace said.
"But...I didn't even say goodbye!" Ameera said. "You were still asleep when he left, maybe be she didn't want to wake you up. My lady!" Grace said.
Ameera looked Grace thinking and Grace found that strange and asked. "May I help on something, my lady?"
"How long you been working here?" Ameera asked. "Six years. My lady." She replied.
"I want you to tell me about Nathaniel or about the Denver family." Ameera asked. "There good men, it's all a can say." She replied.
Ameera looked her surprised. "Are you serious? You just told me a second ago that you been working here for six years and it all you can say? A good men! Many people are good but doesn't mean they are all the same." Ameera said.
Then she added. "There should be probably something unique about them and I want you to tell me." "I'm sorry if I said something wrong but I don't know what to say." Grace said.
"Did they tell you to say that they are good, or something?" Ameera asked.
She was being quite serious about the questions.
"No, they didn't." She replied. "You may hear that maid should be royal to someone they work for and I think you are here because you are going to work on my lead and to do as I say, am I right?" Ameera asked.
Grace stood washing her.
"You are, my lady." She replied. "I don't want you to call me, my lady, my name is Ameera and I'm good person to someone who deserves it. So tell me what you know." Ameera said.
Grace sighed and looked her in eyes.
"They are dangerous, they just care about themselves, when I say themselves I mean it. They like to kill, seeing people suffering is a Joy for them, they like to judge the innocent people, they are terrifying and no one loves them it just pretending." Grace said.
Ameera was scared breathing heavily.
"What?" She asked even if she heard her. "is not what you wanted me to say...? My lady?" Grace asked.
Ameera took a breath and get out of the bathtub.
Days passed at the castle, the queen sitting on the throne after recieving her people she called on lord Lewis who was beside her.
"Lord Lewis, I made a promise to people that I will give them seeds to start over, I want you to look that for me, beans, maize, rice and fruit seeds." Eleanor said.
"Where would I get all that? My queen!" Lewis asked.
"You are not gonna tell me that we don't have money to buy that, I work for well being for my people and is what I'm gonna do." Eleanor said. "I know, and I understand that too, my queen but you have to know that there are so many responsibilities we should take care of then spending money for poor people." Lewis said. "important things you mean, those people are most important without them we are not a kingdom so i suggest you to find that for me and tell me if it ready." Eleanor said.
"I'm I still your guide? My queen?" Lewis asked.
The queen smiled at him. "Of course you are, but you need to accept me as your queen to find that out." Eleanor said.
Lord Lewis didn't add anything else and bent for her then he left, he seemed to not like the idea.
after he left and three guards entered the room and lady Anastasia was behind them and went to stand aside looking at them while they stopped in front of the queen and bent for the queen. Lady Anastasia seemed worried and one of the guards got a bit closer to represent them.
"My queen, we looked everywhere but there's no princess Madeline." The guard said.
The queen in shock asked."what...do you mean by there?" "We didn't found princess Madeline and we have looked everywhere, we asked but no one even saw her, she was helped by her lady-in-waiting of course because she's not in the kingdom too." He replied.
Lady Anastasia was worried and scared and asked with fear. "Do...you mean...she's not in the kingdom that... she's outside of the kingdom?" The guard looked at her and nodded. "We think so, my lady." He said.
"How that possible, and why would she leave her home and go?" Anastasia asked. "That I don't know, my lady." He said and looked back to the queen. "If there's nothing else you may ask, I think we should leave." He added.
The queen nodded twice and let them leave. The place was so quiet, everyone in the room was shocked with the new lady Anastasia came in front of the queen, tears rolling in her eyes.
"If something happens to your sister it will be your fault." Anastasia shouted.
The queen looked at her a moment of quiet and said. "Now she my sister? I thought you were serious when you told me that I'm not your family but you know what I accept her as my sister and you as my mother and if something happens to her it will not be my fault but yours and father who let her believe what she will never be."
While they was still there and lord Thompson entered the room and bent for them.
"My queen, excuse me to enter like this but lord commander is back on his journey." Lord Thompson said.
The queen seemed happy to hear that and she stood up and go to welcome her husband and they all went with her and Arthur came closer and bent for the queen and weirdly she smiled and Arthur asked a moment for the talk with them. The queen, lady Anastasia, lord Lewis and lord Thompson and they also called on Lord Frank Gary with his wife Lady Clara who has a big influence on the decision the kingdom takes.
Lord commander told them about his journey that lord Dakota wants them to reject the case they have on him and he will try to change things and that lord Denver doesn't want the kingdom to keep sending poor people in Pyre Fall because there're no jobs anymore.
They talked about that and the queen wrote two letters that she agreed with them and sends the messager.
The queen after the meeting went into her room and organised the room she shared with Arthur and made it look beautiful for his husband with Amelia's help. She was excited to welcome Arthur back but she started to change the mood when she spent more than three hours waiting for him to come in the room, she sat on a chair beside the bed waiting in the night for Arthur back.
Arthur finally entered the room and he didn't say a word and changed his clothes while Eleanor watching him doing that shocked and she came closer to him before he gets on bed.
"Are you fuckin serious? Are you fuckin serious?" Eleanor questioning him but he didn't care then she pushed him and get much more closer in his face she was mad at him.
"Are you being serious?" Again she questioned. "What!" He shouted.
They stayed a minute of quite looking at each other breathing heavily.
"I can't believe you spent more than one day without being home and you didn't even greet me properly." She said.
"I think you know what I was doing, no need to repit it for you." He said.
"I know that but you was still supposed to came to me, like in the private. Do you realize that we have to give the future king, and soon mother will start asking me what's going on with me." She said.
Arthur got very furious and started yelling.
"You know very well why I got married and I didn't want to marry because I didn't want any pressure on me for anyone." He got close to her catching her trying to get her gown off by force because Eleanor was pushing him back.
"And if you want to get pregnant I can help you on that." He said.
"Get off of me!" She was saying that repeatedly pushing him away.
"What, why would I? You don't want a child?" He was asking.
Arthur kissed her by force and Eleanor arrived to push him back when Arthur let her go she slapped him in the face and started crying.
"I don't know the other way we could do that because I will not and I will never be in love with you acting romantically." He said looking angry.
Eleanor breathing hardly so shocked and disappointed to Arthur's reaction.
"Tell me when you will change your mind..." He added then bent for her and added. "...My queen!"
He left the room Eleanor didn't add anything else and got in bed close herself in sheets crying, Arthur left to see a woman she will spend a night with so to not think about what just happened.
In the morning The queen came on the eating table and lord Arthur was already there waiting for her. Before she sat Arthur stood up as a gentleman and let her sit first then go after her, there were just two of them on the table as they are in their own side of the castle. Eleanor was on one length side of the table and Arthur the other, and the guards was far from the table they couldn't even hear them.
"Morning, my queen!" He said.
Eleanor just looked him and started eating. Then he said again. "The food seems delicious, I think it will be for you."
Both eating. Eleanor was surprised in the mood he woke up on and stopped eating and asked. "Where did you spend your night, because I didn't see you coming back the night and this morning you wasn't there?" "When you pushed me away, I went to sleep with other women." He replied calmly.
"I'm shocked!" She said.
"You are shocked that I cheated on you?" He asked. "No, I'm shocked that you are calm telling me that." She replied. "I'm not a liar so I tell you." He said.
Eleanor smiled and stood up, she got on the side he was sitting and Bent in front of him hands on the table and got closer in his face.
"That's good, but I want you to know that I'm your queen even if you are my husband but I need some respect from you. Which means next time you see that woman, is the next time you will see her head without her body." She said.
The queen didn't finish her breakfast and left him on the table. The queen went to talk to his private guard Bryan to look for the woman who slept with his husband secretly. "I want you to find her and kill her, I don't want even to hear that she still exist." She didn't even think twice to take the decision.
In the south, Star Fell. Laura woke up in her cell and saw a guard opening for her the door so she could get out she was confused for a moment but she didn't even think why and got out running and her father Fred Bradley and her brother Randy Bradley was there outside waiting for her and she came running to them crying for the emotions and hugged.
"I'm glad to see both of you again!" She said. "I'm happy to see you free, my daughter!" Fred said. "Me too, sister!" Randy added.
They laughed with emotions. The day went normal she went to the farm to do her work and help his father for his too.
Lady Raya after his daughter got married she became depressed and started to drink every time she thought of Ameera, lord Dakota and David was pissed off about how she took things. In the midnight Lord Dakota was coming into his office and lady Raya was there chilling there with wine in her cup, she was drank.
When lord Dakota saw her and went to sit in his place looking at her with an annoyed.
"Do you really think to drink and cry all day will show the love you have for your daughter?" He asked. "Your daughter is fine, she's living her time and you, you are being an idiot thinking she's living a hell." He added. "I...can...feel it, my daughter is totally alone with those evil men." She said crying.
"Please!" He said.
Lady Raya stood up about to leave the place. "I will always blame you for her miserable life." She said.
Lady Raya left his office.
In the night at Bradley's house, they were having dinner and heard someone knocking on their door.
They found that strange and Laura was the one to stand up for the door. When she opened it, it was Vincent on the door and Laura to see him, her heart jumped for a sec just for bad feeling.
"Can I help you, sir?" She asked.
Vincent looked in and saw Fred and Randy watching him and looked back at Laura.
"You are need to Dakota's house." He said.
Laura turned back to his father then back Vincent and asked. "Which one's call?" "Who do you think? Lord David, of course." He replied.
Fred stood up about to get closer and Vincent stopped him.
"Sir, go back to your sit and finish that up don't forget that your daughter got in danger last time because of your stupidity and I don't think you gonna redone that." Vincent said.
Laura was scared already looking at Vincent talking. "...are you?" He asked.
"I will go with you, father I need you to not do anything about this. Don't worry they will not take me back there. I will be back." Laura said and left without looking them in the eyes and got on the horse, Vincent close the door for them and took Laura to David.
At the manor house (the house of the lords, where he lives with their family.)
Vincent left her in a room and closed the door, everything Laura was finding it strange while she was looking around and saw David coming on the other side of the room getting closer to her and stood in front of her very closer on point he was listening to her heart bitting. Laura stayed still without moving just her heart bitting fast and looking him in eyes without blinking.
"You thought that I just let you go, don't you?" He asked.
"I didn't,...I knew something was waiting for me." She replied.
"I will ask you woman, why you don't blink or move while talking to me?" He asked.
"That's called scary, I'm scared of you and to imagine myself blinking while you are in front of me, it more scary. If I blink I will not know when you will do something bad to me." She said.
David gave a disappointed smile.
"So I'm asking you my lord, what are you going to do with me?" She asked, she was angry with him which is always.
"I gave a chance to choose what I will do with you and you Lost that chance asking me to marry you so I thought about it and I think we're gonna do the opposite, you are going to be my harlot." He said.
"I'm...sorry but I can't...do that." She said. "Why not? You was ready to be my wife! But because I don't want you as a wife you gonna be my bitch and I will fuck you every time I want to." He said.
Laura tears down. "What do you think of that?" He asked her.
Laura breathing heavily and put her gown off slowly looking him in eyes.
"Do I have a choice?" She asked in a painful voice.
David smiled and said looking at her body admiring her. "No, you don't."
He did what he wanted and Laura she was crying but stayed polite until he was done. Then went back to her house in the night, others were already asleep and she took a bath to not even keep smelling David on her.
Frost Harbor kingdom, at the castle, princess Madeline was walking around and passed on the room Queen Clarence and crown prince Audrey was talking and stayed behind the door listening to them.
They was talking about people from west coast, and how they will solve their problem so they could stop doing strike.
"The only solution for that is to talk to them but I don't know how to do that, I'm not good to convince people." prince Audrey said.
Queen Clarence was sitting on a chair beside prince Audrey who was sitting in front of the table with the paper on it, the paper was talking about the problem are in the west coast.
Princess Madeline joined them and stood in front of them.
"I'm sorry to interrupting like this, but I think I can help." Madeline said. "What are you talking about?" Audrey asked.
"Accidentally I heard you talking about west coast problems and I think I can arrive to convince them as I was always the chosen one to talk to people who were doing the strike." She said. "Anyway, I meant that I'm good to talk to people." She added.
Queen Clarence laughed at her and turned looking at her and said. "Oh! Dear, we are not in your kingdom and you think really they can give their attention to someone they have no idea who is?"
"Mother, I need you to add that we don't even trust her, my father may let you be here but doesn't mean I agreed." Audrey said.
Madeline with a smile on face and said. "Then let me talk to them and gain your trust, if they will not be convinced by me I will back off."
The prince thought about it for a while, he stood up and get closer to her face.
"You need to change that gown, I'm going with you." He said.
Madeline seemed happy, showing a smile on face and Prince Audrey left the room, the queen stood up and got closer to her so unhappy and annoyed with her.
"You may be fooling the king and the prince but not me, I know you want something from us and I promise you, you will not get it while I'm still alive." Queen Clarence said.
She left too and Madeline gave an evil smile. "Watch me!" She said.
Princess Madeline and Prince Audrey took their way to west coast without the king orientation. They left with four guards behind them. On the way on the horses having a conversation.
"You seems nice but you don't want people to see it, don't you?" She asked. "If you say so." He replied.
Prince Audrey taking time to reply or to say something to everything.
"I understand that you don't like me, and I don't blem you because I'm also like that to new people...don't be nice to everyone you meet because they will not take you as kind but as an idiot. My father told me that once." She said.
Audrey looked at her and smiled. "I don't hate you, I'm just showing you how I feel about you which means I can't take you as a friend or someone who's good but I'm taking you as a stranger." He said. "I appreciate that you tell me, your highness!" She said.
"Should I call you that or should I call you my lord? As I'm a princess too what should I call you?" She added asking.
They both laughed.
"You are not a princess anymore, trust me." He replied.
Madeline nodded for an agreement of disappointment.
At the castle lady Anastasia with Sharon behind her they went to lord Lewis who was standing in front of the men who were packing the seeds on the horses, the one the queen asked for. Lady Anastasia stood beside lord Lewis, she had no idea what was going on.
"I would like to know what going on here?" Anastasia Asked.
Lewis turned at her and bent for her.
"My lady, the queen asked us to pack this thing to take it to the people who need help in the town." Lewis said. "And you agreed? When do we start taking decision like this before a meeting?" She asked.
The queen came behind her with Amelia and stood behind lady Anastasia and she turned back to her, lord Lewis and Sharon bent for the queen.
"Until I got on the throne, you organized the meeting because you needed people to help you to take the decision which isn't the same for me." Eleanor said.
"You mean I couldn't arrive to make a decision on myself or I didn't want to look stupid? My queen!" Anastasia Asked.
"It's fine to do a meeting which I could do too and is that why Lewis is here but doesn't mean I can't think on my own." Eleanor said.
Lady Anastasia got closer in her face and said with a short voice. "Instead of convince your husband to give you a son you are doing nothing." She shaking her head after words.
Eleanor was a bit surprised and took a breath and said. "If you are done, we can go now." Eleanor said.
Eleanor went to sit on the horse waiting for others and Lewis and Amelia bent for Lady Anastasia and they left with the queen after packing.
While the queen was giving people the seeds and even helping them for cultivating they all seemed happy either the queen and population, princess Madeline assembled people in west coast talking to them.
"I know you are asking yourself why I'm here and why I made you come here and the funny thing is that I'm not even in a good position to being here. But I took my time and pleasure to come here in front of you because I'm a friend and I love harmony, which I'm going to ask you. It made me feel sad to hear that men risked their lives for doing strike thinking they will get help but see where they are right now, in the cells and women are here at home alone taking care of children alone but if you could take that time you did that and talk to your king it would be different..." Madeline said.
People started shouting. "We did that!" "They didn't do anything!" "Who are you?" "Listen to me, let's do this calmly!"
Madeline asking for quiteness, they arrived to be calm with a help of the guards. Audrey was there beside her he didn't say a word.
"I know how you are feeling right now and why you did that, I just want to tell you that what you did changed something, and you know how? Right now the royal family are stressed looking the way they will solve your problems and I promise they will find the way but what I will not promise you is they are not going to make you rich as the lords are. So...I'm asking you people, you all have your right to go and ask for a job and if you are able to do it you will get the job, no one will push you away and if they do not accept, report them don't be afraid of who they may be. And the traders as for others you will have your rights, the taxes will be decreased as for this time things are worst..."
People cheering and shouting.
"And if nothing changes in this season, I promise no one will touch you if you do the strike again." She added.
People seemed happy and convinced and Prince Audrey was shocked but the same time happy.
"And I beg all of you to shout the the name of Prince Audrey, because he will be the one in charge." She added.
Prince Audrey confused and people started shouting his name and he didn't lose the opportunity and get a bit closer and put his hands up and added.
"The men who are in cell have to spend the night to their home to Day."
"Prince Audrey!" People Continue shouting.
Audrey and Madeline looked at each other and smiled.
Pyre Fall, In the north, the night Lady Ameera could sleep after Grace told her that her husband was in the bar having fun with friends. She went there and Lord Nathaniel, Lord Jeffrey and Lord Ryan they were on the same table with close friends drinking and the women on their side helping them in having fun.
Lord Nathaniel saw her before others and stood up giving her a hand to join.
"Lady Ameera the wife of lord Nathaniel and the only beautiful lady Denver who ever existed, please, join us!" He said.
Ameera looked at Grace a weird face and moved her shoulder is up and down, Ameera had no choice and joined them.
She sat beside her husband and Grace beside her and Ryan and Jeffrey sitting in front of them.
"People, I'm gonna tell you the good things about getting married, is to have someone who will do everything you want without refusing, now I have someone who wait for me every night and see, she's here to take me home." Nathaniel was telling them that and they was all enjoying it.
"Ameera stand up." Nathaniel asked Ameera.
Lady Ameera was shocked looking at him showing that she doesn't want to.
"Go on, I want everyone to see you." He added. "Everything knows me here now" She said in a short voice.
Lord Nathaniel looked an angry face and Ameera decided to stand up to not make him embarrassed.
"Look everyone, she obeys." "You may sit again." Telling Ameera and Ameera sat so annoyed.
Lady Ameera was a smiley face in the beginning but she changed the mood after what Nathaniel was doing.
"The wife is just like the slaves..." Ameera looks at him with an angry face like she wants to jump on his face and she is breathing heavily.
"...the difference for a wife is, they are clean, beautiful and good in bed."
Men were laughing except for lord Ryan who noticed that Ameera was feeling uncomfortable.
"I bet that the southern woman knows how to make a man happy in bed." When he said that Ameera stood up quickly and got out, Grace went after her and Ryan also followed her out.
Walking outside crying, Ryan came behind her and stopped her while he turned her back to him.
"Get off of me?" Ameera shouted wiping her eyes and Grace stayed a distance away from them.
"You don't have to act like that in front of people." Ryan said. "Are you being serious? Are you trying to tell me that he has a right to act and with me saying all that in front of people?" Ameera asked yelling at him.
"I didn't mean it like that, my lady, You have to understand that he doesn't know what he was talking and you have to not do anything stupid than what he just did." He said.
Ameera so annoyed he got closer to his face.
"I have never chosen to get married in the north either in this family but anyway I came with respect but I just saw my lord, that you don't deserve any respect either Nathaniel or anyone in his family." She said.
"What do you mean?" He asked. "Such that your grandmother told me what kind of people you are but know that too, I will not let anyone of you treat me like a shit." She said.
Ameera left back home and slept all night crying until she fell asleep.
