Chapter 33: A Night Alone

After nightfall, and a bath making sure I hurried on it before Cedric, I headed for my new Chambers, I couldn't wait to see the lovely work Olivia has done, I trusted she had done a wonderful job, given how overly excited she was, she didn't do it alone of course.

Turns out Olivia was like a head maid to some servants in the castle because she served me.

"Are you ready my lady?" Olivia asked as the guards waited to open the doors at command.

I nodded like a child waiting for her present to be shown to her, I never realized how much wanting my own chambers could excite me this much until now.

The guards opened the door at Olivia cue, I stepped inside and was in awe of the room, it didn't seem like what I saw hours ago, this was breathtaking

The wallpaper was a light yellow color embodied with a golden design, the furniture's were dark yellow and the shelves were just the same, the curtains too, giving the entire room a different atmosphere.

And the bed was just majestic, with the yellow sheets, the curtains packed at the side.

"One more thing," Olivia said beaming in joy, knowing that I loved the work she had done.

"There's more?"

She nods eagerly as she rushed to a door and opened it with both hands.

"I had your dressing room moved here" she states as I came in view of what looked like another room, a fitting mirror at the center, along with wardrobes at the side, I didn't have to look to know they were filled with dresses.

"Olivia this is so beautiful, I love it," I said taking her hands.

"I'm glad you love it my lady" she grinned.

Finally, my own space was set, I couldn't wait to have a good night's sleep.

☆☆☆

I shift the covers off me. Ugh... I can't sleep! I tussled and turn on the bed multiple times.

What was wrong with me? I should be able to sleep but my eyes were wide like a torch.

I sighed turning to the other side again, not even a hint of sleep.

I sighed once again facing the bed wood roof, I left so lonely? And more my head started getting clouded with thoughts of Cedric.

At the mere thought of him, my heart started speeding, I could already picture his face on the bed roof, his perfect handsome features, his smooth pale skin, and those pale pink lips of it, I was suddenly reminded of the kiss he gave me at the Eternal Garden, I blushed hard, bringing the covers to hide my face.

What was wrong with me? Here I was finally in my own chambers away from him and I found myself thinking of him, oh and how my body reacted when I did, this constant strange feeling on my body, like need?

Ugh and this pull, like a push to be where he was.

I sat up on the bed, giving a heavy sigh, why did I have this certain desire to be near him? Have I gotten so used to sleeping in the same room as him? Could this be why?

I placed a hand against my chest, my eyes shaking, this feeling, it was too much, unable to contain it anymore I pulled the covers off me, climbing off my bed and grabbing my silk white robe and putting it on.

I pushed the door ajar with all the strength I could muster.

Not seeing Olivia I knew she retired to her room, I stared at her dark lonely hall. I went back inside my room grabbing a candle against the cupboard.

Gripping onto the handle tightly as I walked the lonely hall.

I screamed at myself that I was crazy, I was out of my mind, what was I doing right now, going to see Cedric? And how should I explain why?

My head was in ramming thoughts and it screaming at me to go back to my room and force myself to sleep but my legs were functioning more than my brain.

I came to a halt, just a turn, and then I will be at Cedric's door, and then what? Did I even think this through? Surely it was my desires speaking, I shouldn't stoop so low.

"The Northerners are rising, Magnus"

I froze at the deep voice, that wasn't Cedric's, a guard maybe? And more he said the name Magnus, my eyes went wide, Magnus the mystery name Cora called my husband.

Curious I took steps closer, my eyes drift to my candle, the only source of light that could give me out on what I'm about to do, I blew it slightly, the flame coming off.

It took some time before my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I then took more steps further, poking my head a bit to see who was talking, the other side of the halls that lead to Cedric's chambers completely dark, the only source of light was the half moonlight creeping in from the wide windows and illuminating the lobby, but it was still hard to see.

"The Northerners has always been persistent, years of war haven't still taught them anything"

This time it was Cedric's voice I heard, my eyes finally land on him, his back leaning against a pillar, his gaze to the skies through the window, but it was just him, who had that other voice then? I made sure I looked but there was no one here just Cedric.

I couldn't help but admire how the night lights played on his skin, making it look shiny.

"They wouldn't dare start a war again, they should know better"

Who was Cedric talking to?

"They fear you, Magnus, you showed them their place during the war"

That deep voice again, where did it come from?

"The Dark General they called you"

Cedric made a hmm sound.

"I haven't heard that name in years," he said as if reminiscing a lost past.

The Dark General? a name they called him? the mere name sent chills down my spine, I wondered why they called him that.

"Beowulf, what news do you have for me?"

At the name my eyes finally caught notice of the black wolf beside him, bigger than the actual size, I swallowed a breath in shock.
