Chapter nine:

Lady Aurora started to receive Kenneth's visits, by spending time together they got close and she just saw that she didn't have reason to push him away and agreed to marry him.

Eight months later, the royal family took the pleasure to organize and celebrate lord Kenneth and Lady Aurora Thompson's wedding.
Only the lords and ladies were invited as it was a chic wedding which took place in the castle.

Lord Alaska Dakota who led Star Fell in the South was invited with his family, Lady Raya Wright Dakota his wife and Lord David Dakota his son who came with his wife Lady Dorothy who they have been married to for 4 months.

Lord Albany Denver was invited too with his three sons, Lord Ryan Denver, Lord Nathaniel Denver with his wife Lady Ameera Dakota Denver who is also pregnant, for 5 months
and Lord Jeffrey Denver was there.

And others as Gallagher's family and Gary's family...and of course Kenneth's warrior's friends and his family same to lady Aurora.

After the bride and the groom got the blessings The music was playing and people were dancing all together having fun others were aside from the dancing podium on the big tables sharing food and drinks.
And the queen and his family were on the same table in front of them all with what things were going on.

On their table there was beef, veal, pork, ham and bacon, mutton, venison, fish, m poultry with all kinds of wine.

The queen with her pregnancy she wasn't dancing, lord Arthur was dancing with her sister and with his brother-in-law
Lady Anastasia on the queen's left jumping lord Arthur's seat and Alyssa Wright to the right jumping Madeline's Seat too.
Lord Lewis and Bryan standing beside them calmly.

While the queen was enjoying the dance the family wedding was doing and lady Anastasia said.
"Lord Arthur seems happy about this wedding then on his own marriage."
The queen understood what lady Anastasia meant and she smiled looking at her and looked back to watch the dance.
"It's his sister's wedding, that's normal." She said the queen.
"It would look much better if he was this way at his wedding too, it's what I meant." Anastasia said.
"Too much as if Madeline was here with us...but she preferred to leave just because she didn't want to see me in his place." Eleanor said.
The queen looked at Anastasia and they joined their eyes and stopped smiling.
"Really imagine how bad this would be if where Madeline went she's already married and none of us was invited!"
The queen trying to hurt lady Anastasia and Lady Anastasia saw that coming and laughed.
"You wish, don't you?" She asked.
"No! I'm just saying, instead of keeping looking at her, you pass all your time looking at the way you would put me down." Eleanor said.
Lady Anastasia gave a short smile and she didn't add anything.

Lord Arthur got closer in front of the table there was.
"May I get the dance with my beautiful wife, my queen?" He asked.
They looked at him smiling at him.
"Ohh! I don't think I could with this little king in me, my belly is getting big and it's not good looking for the dance, my lord!" Eleanor said.
"Of course you can, it can help the child too. I remember when I danced with your father when Madeline was still my belly and she reacted happily." Anastasia said.
Alyssa laughing at that.
"That's hilarious! Sister." Alyssa said.
"Fine! let's try it, It will be a pleasure to dance with you my lord and to get another kick from our child." Eleanor said.
Bryan helped her to stand up kindly and gave her hand to Arthur's hand and they went to the podium alone dancing a classic slow music.
A while dancing alone on the podium and the bride and the groom joined them too.
Lady Anastasia was getting annoyed with everything after what the queen told her, she stood up on her seat about to leave and lord Lewis got in his way.
"You wish to go somewhere, my lady?" Lewis asked her. "I want to leave this place, I can't believe Eleanor would respond to me with rudeness as she just did." She responded.
"I don't think you should leave the place, you have to be here until the wedding gets to its end..my lady!" Lewis said.
Anastasia laughed a bit at him so annoyed.
"You are scared! You are scared to get on my side because you think you will get kicked out in the castle, but don't worry I will not ask for your favor anymore." She said.

Anastasia got closer to the Alyssa seat.
"Alyssa, let's get someone to dance with you." Anastasia said.
Alyssa was so excited she stood up and they joined the people's seats and they went to the table the Gallagher was sitting on.
"Lady Anastasia!" Lord Gallagher said and they all bowed their heads for her.
"It is a pleasure for me to see the Gallagher family again, I had that your daughter got married in the South, to my sister's." Anastasia said.
"Of course it would be a pleasure if you were there." Lady Gallagher said.
"I would love it too but the wedding was so fast and I had to stay here with the queen in this time she's pregnant." Anastasia said.
"We understand." Lord Gallagher said.
"I don't want to stay standing here like I'm disrespectful but here is my step sister lady Alyssa, she wanna dance." Anastasia said. "
"Lord Larry!" She added. "Ohh! I will be pleased, my lady." Larry said.
He stood up and gave Alyssa his hand asking. "May I, my lady?" and she gave him her hand smiling at each other and they got on the podium and started dancing.
Lady Anastasia joined her sister's table with his family and they shared memories.

On Denver's table no one is talking to anyone, they are just quit eating.
"Your family looks happy today!" Nathaniel said.
"They always are." Ameera responded.
"You regret having left your family, don't you?" Jeffrey asked.
Ameera looked at him so annoyed and responded. "I don't think I regret having left my home but I think I regret having left the joy I had."
"You may go to the dance floor as other couples are doing." Albany said.
Before Ameera says anything and Nathaniel jumps replying..."No!"
He really meant it when he added. "No! I'm not dancing with her tonight, we are not obliged to take the dance, you can see that there are the same people who are not even couples."
Ameera was a bit disappointed looking at him and lord Ryan saw that.
"That means I can go to the dance floor with your wife and you wouldn't have a problem with it, brother?" Ryan asked.
They all looked at him surprised.
"No, that wouldn't..." Nathaniel refused it and Albany interrupted him adding. "It would be nice...lady Ameera, you should know that Ryan is the best dancer I know."
"I...don't...think that's necessary, my lord." She said.
Lord Ryan stood up and walked on her side and gave her his hand.
"You can't refuse to dance with your brother-in-law?" Ryan asked.
Lady Ameera sighed she had no choice and agreed to dance, she took his hand and they went to dance together. Either Nathaniel or Jeffrey was happy about it.
Them dancing...
"You are the only Denver, I haven't yet found something I should hate you for but know that I don't like your quietness." Ameera said. "I'm glad to hear that, my lady!" He said. "And about my quietness it's just I like to mind my business." He added.
"Promise me if you get married, you will not treat her as your brother does to me." She asked.
He didn't respond to that and he said.
"The quiet dance is most elegant, I need you to be quiet and keep dancing." He said.
They danced and they seemed to be enjoying their dance.

After the wedding, the one who came from far had to go back tomorrow to their home.
Lady Raya profited to talk to her daughter lady Ameera having tea time together, alone in one of the living room.
"I was existed to see you, when they told me that you will be here." Raya said.
Lady Ameera smiled for a short time and said. "I want to tell you that you are welcome to my home, if you wanna visit me."
"But I'm still confused, mother! If you didn't come to my wedding, will you be able to come to see my child?" She added asking her.
"Don't blem me, I warned you." Raya said.
Lady Ameera looked down disappointed and looked back in her mother's eyes.
"I'm happy, mother and I need you to stop worrying about me." Ameera said.
Her mother didn't believe her, painfully she stopped asking her about her marriage life and change the conversation.
"Your belly look gorgeous, probably he will be a boy." "I wish that too." She responded.

The chamber given to lord Kenneth and lady Aurora.
They were already there in their room and when Kenneth entered the room, Aurora was sitting on bed waiting for him and when he got closer to her  and nervously Aurora stood up too getting closer to him saying faster without a pose.
"One of my friends got married while she was still a virgin, of course and her first night of marriage she didn't want his husband to touch him because she was scared and she never allowed him even after months and the husband broke up the marriage and got married to another one and the girl ended up alone until now." She said.
Kenneth smiling while confused.
"Okay!" He said. "I don't mean I will be like that with you but as a virgin I never did anything yet with a man, you may understand my fear, so I'm asking you if you could give me days to get ready for you but without breaking up with me?" She asked.
Kenneth got closer to her touching in her face looking where his hands went on her face smiling nicely at her.
"I didn't get married to break up, I will give you the time you want, my love! anytime but please not as much as your friend." He said.
They both laughed.
"Thank you!" She said.
Their first night ended up like that just in the same bed but no touching.

Early in the morning, the massager called on the queen he had news for her.
She went to sit on his throne to listen to him and lord Lewis was standing behind him.
The massager gave the massage letter to lord Lewis so he could read it for the queen and lord Lewis moved in front a bit.
“letter from Frost Harbor kingdom...
We declare war on the Silverscale kingdom, and we are coming from west.
We will be waiting for your army on the battlefield and we will be there in a weak.
Your land will be ours under king Albert's lead after the head of your queen will be hung up.
                                        -lord Yemen.
"How can they just write that kind of letter to us?" Queen asked.
"Saying clearly that they will hung me up!" She added.
"It has been years that they want our land, king Albert always says that from the century Silverscale was his homeland and they have been expelled in it and now he's gonna take what was for this ancestors." Lewis said.
"And...that true?" She asked.
"According to our kingdom history...that is not." He responded.
"We need to talk to the lord commander to get ready for this war."
The queen said.

Two days later, lord Arthur after they told him about the war, he recommended the warriors, he asked for and he organized the meeting with lords and the heads of the armies form different places. To plan how they must head and defend their territories.

Pyre Fall in North,
Lord Nathaniel didn't stop thinking about lord Ryan and lady Ameera's dance and he seemed to notice that Ryan has feelings for his wife, he was angry about it but he didn't say anything to lord Ryan and went to talk to Ameera who was in the room, they share.
Grace helping her to comb her hair.
When lord Nathaniel opened the door harder, they got shocked turning back to the door and stood up calmly in front of him and he got closer, he seemed ferrous.
"Husband!" Ameera said in the way confused.
"I need to talk to my wife alone, Grace!" He said.
Grace bowed her head to lord Nathaniel and she left them alone in the room.
Lady Ameera was a bit scared and confused on the same time.
"Will you tell me what the hell you and my brother are up to?" Nathaniel said.
Ameera's heart jumped with fear thinking that lord Nathaniel knows about her and Jeffrey.
"What! I...don't understand?" She asked like she doesn't know what he's talking about.
Lord Nathaniel grabbed her hand closer to him and said with an angry voice and anger in face. "Don't play dumb with me, I know, you know that he feels something for you." he said.
"You have to talk with Jeffrey about that not me." She said.
Nathaniel got shocked and let her arm goes.
"Jeffrey!" He said.
"Isn't who you was..." She stopped talking after she realized that she was thinking wrong.
"Are you telling me that after me thinking that Ryan is in love with you, Jeffrey is too?" He yelled at her.
"I don't...know that...and if it's true don't blame me for it" She said.
Nathaniel laughed her.
"Of course I should, as a bitch you have provoked them." He said.
"Don't call me..." She said getting closer to him about fighting with him and he slapped her and she fell down, he got closer to her and caught her head up so she could look him in eyes.
Lady Ameera started crying.
"How can you slap me while I'm pregnant of your?" She asked.
"I care about the child but I may change my opinion if you provoke me." He said.
"Don't ever think that you own something just because you are pregnant." He added.
Lord Nathaniel left the room ferrous and lady Ameera stayed there crying and Grace came in the room running to her.
"Are you okay, my lady?" Grace asked.
"Help me to get up, Grace." Ameera said.
She helped her and went out running after her husband.
Grace didn't want to follow her so she stayed there.

Lady Ameera met lord Ryan and lord Jeffrey in her way out, they was coming back to the woods where deforestation was taking place.
They stopped when they saw her.
"Where are you going, lady Ameera?" Ryan asked.
They saw that she was worried.
She stopped while breathing heavily.
"I'm looking for my husband, you did see him by any chance?" She asked.
"No, we just arrived but we didn't see him, did something happed?" Ryan asked.
"What do you think happened? If she's looking for him, she did something wrong for him." Jeffrey said.
Lady Ameera so annoyed he looked at him.
"What about he got mad because he realized that his brothers are in love with his wife, my lords!" She asked.
Lady Ameera didn't wait for their answer and left them there, looking at each other so confused.

They decided to look for their brother so he could explain to them.
Lord Nathaniel was firing arrows on the target, he seemed mad and quite.
He was to the place where their father liked to trend them when they was still young.
"It's been a while we haven't come here anymore, what changed brother?" Ryan asked.
Standing behind him, he didn't return to look at them, he just keep shooting.
"You look...angry, Nathaniel!" Jeffrey said.
"While we were still young, I was the worst one in every training we had here...and I remember that father called me unable boy, which really was a torture for me to see that the person I wanna look like, see me weak and I was jealous of you two." Nathaniel told the story shooting and he stopped and looked back at them, he was angry and they could see it.
"Especially Jeffrey, when father says to everyone that you are like him it makes me feel hate on point to wanna kill you." He added.
"Should I have to be worried about that brother? Because I don't know if you are jocking but for sure which part of your father makes you feel proud?" Jeffrey asked.
Lord Ryan looked at Jeffrey like he was judging him and lord Jeffrey noticed his look and went to stand on other side a little closer to Nathaniel looking at them.
"Yeah! People say that I'm like my father which every child should be proud of but that happens only if they say he has his good side and father doesn't have any, so why would we have to be proud of?" Jeffrey asked.
"I may be a bad guy not even able to stop being one because I inherited that from my father but all that doesn't mean that I like to be that bad guy." He added.
"What if I like to be that bad guy you don't want to be but I can't have it because you took that for me and because that isn't enough of course, you want to take my wife from me too." Nathaniel shouted.
"Nathaniel, you need to be calm..." Ryan said gently and Nathaniel interrupted him yelling.
"Don't try to act as the first born right now Ryan, because I know you love her too and both of you gonna pay for that."
"Don't yell at us like that like if you care about her, you treats her like rubbish and you are blaming us for your own bad behaviors." Ryan yelled back to him.
They all stayed quiet for a while and Nathaniel left them there.

The night at the castle the queen went to see lord Author who was in his office working on the plan of war he was preparing for.
She stand beside the table.
"You seem like you will not come to bed again." She said.
He looked her in the eyes and said. "I'm sorry my queen but I want to be 100% into this, I don't know if I would forgive myself if something happens to my land."
"I understand but you need to take a rest, my lord. Until when you saw that letter from Frost Harbor you don't sleep." She said.
The queen got closer to him and held his hand.
"I want you to come with me, just this night." She said.
"Me and the baby we miss you." She added.
Lord Arthur sighed.
"With those eyes, Gad! I can't refuse." He said.
Both laughed.
"I promise you that tomorrow I will not disturb you." She said.
They kissed.

Lord Arthur wakes up early in the morning to continue studying on his plan, before he share it with his warriors.

On the other side, at lord Kenneth and lady Aurora's chamber.
Lady Aurora cooked breakfast for her husband and lord Kenneth gently asked her to share it with her.
They started having breakfast together.
After that lady Aurora escorted lord Kenneth up to his ride and before he leaves Lady Aurora said.
"I changed my mind, my lord."
He turned back at her.
"About what, wife?" He asked.
"I thought about you going to the battlefield and I can't stop getting scared." She said.
"No! You shouldn't have to, I will be fine." He responded gently.
"I know but even now I still get scared when my brother leaves for the battle and now including you, I started thinking that anytime I will lose two people I care about." She said.
"Actually...that is the big reason i refuse in the first place to marry you, the fear I will be having every time you leave for the battle." She added.
Lord Kenneth got closer to her looking at her with soft eyes touching in her face then hugged her.
"It will be fine, I promise that to you." He said.
"To night I wanna spend the night with you, my lord." She said.
Lord Kenneth was shocked and looked at her in eyes smiling.
"It what you changed mind for?" He asked smiling.
She nodded smiling back and Kenneth gave her, her first kiss.

Without other words lord Kenneth left to see lord Arthur and lady Aurora left in library as always.

Lord David heard that, the night before he go back home he went to see her to her house.

"My lord, you are welcome in my house." He said.
He looked at him and looked in the house and saw Laura's brother, Randy Bradley sitting in the living room.
"Mr Bradley, is your daughter home?" He asked.
"Yes, she's but right now she's in stable." He said.
"Can you took me to her, little boy?" David asked Randy and Randy looked at his father to see if he agreed.
"I need to talk to her, if it will not bother you." He added.
Mr Bradley looked at his son and nodded for agreement.

Randy took lord David to Laura, to arrive there in the stable, Laura was closing the horse's boxes and when he saw them and stopped doing that and stand look at them and changed her mood.
"You can go boy, I have to talk to your sister." David said.
"No! you are not Randy, I don't think lord David has something personal to tell to me which you can't hear." Laura said.
Randy stayed as his sister said.
Lord David laughed and got closer to her and she blocked her breath looking him in eyes.
"You look mad at me." David said.
"It was always like that, I was stupid to have change the way things was." She said.
"I had to do this, you know that we would never be something, you and me..." He said and she interrupted him yelling at him.
"...we are not on the same level, your father is a lord and my father serves your family. Don't worry I understand that and I will respect you and your wife, I will walk away from you which I need you too, to do the same as me and make things easier for both of us." She said.
"Is that way you left?" He asked gently with voice down.
"Of course my lord, you didn't want me to work there anyway." She responded so annoyed.
"I'm sorry!" He apologized.
"Nothing to be sorry for my lord, I was both nothing to each other." She said.
Lord David had nothing to say.
"I will go back to my house with you don't mind." She said.
"Good night, my lord." She added.
Laura left with his brother and David went back to his wife.

Lord David wanted to forget about Laura he slept with his wife, who is always nice and respectful to him.
