Bolingtone ~
Luna slouched, whacking her head on the books, blushing.
"Milady, stop blaming yourself. You shouldn't be shy."
Helena was standing beside her, she had pink cheeks too. Those pictures were so alive.
"He saw that I was resting beside him, the worst part is that I did something stupid that I need to beg the gods to forgive me."
Helena sighed, she was too innocent.
"Your grace is not a stranger to you at all."
Luna looked back at her in distress, "how should I learn these and answer the ladyship?"
She had sweats on her skin.
"You can't prevent this. I suggest you read them quickly so you can get rid of shame."
Helena suggested.
"Where is Natasha?"
"I saw her leaving with the knights. They had captured the head of rebellions."
Luna entirely forgot about the books and waited for more, "the man who attacked the prince?"
"Yes, I heard buzzing, they were saying that he wanted to avenge his father's death from the prince."
Luna stood up, "what?"
"Yes, he wanted to kill your grace. His name is Harold Robinson."
"Lady Luna, master Collen is here."
Announced Nemo from the corridor.
Luna glanced at Helena in astonishment. What this man was doing here?
"Welcome in master Collen."
Nemo opened the door and led the man inside. Master Collen bowed and stood before the table. Luna already shut the books and placed another one on them.
"The king is willing to see you." He declared made her mouth drop. Why would the king wish to see her?
"Sure, but can I have a preface about what the king would discuss with me?"
"It is about prince Wilmore."
Luna nodded, probably king Edward was worried about his son's condition.
The girl left her seat, her heart racing, wearing her cloak, she placed the lace on her face, and with Helena, they moved out and the guards escorted.
Luna looked at Helena, "is Kate still out of the castle?"
"Yes, milady! Kate has to see a friend."
Nodding at her response, she directed to master Collen.
"Master, can I ask you a question regarding my uncle?"
"Sure, milady."
"Can you tell me about his knighthood records? It seems I was the only one who didn't know about his position in the court."
"Yes, your uncle joined the knights at the age of fourteen, his skills were unbelievable so the king took him to himself, trained him with the great masters from Parsa and Bead. He made the eagle troop that now the prince holds. He brought us many achievements but his affection changed everything."
"Then why would you support me?"
"Let the king answer that question, lady Luna. But when I saw you in Greenwood mansion, I was certain that you and Lady Elizabeth have a bright future."
Bringing up about her sister brought her shiver, she prayed that they leave Ell alone.
The silence made a space between them until Luna reached the King's main throne hall. She couldn't deny that there was no throne as majestic as the stone throne of Velator. She had seen an image of this hall in a book but breathing its air was utterly different. Despite the colors of the glasses and the heat that lanterns offered, Luna could feel a heavy air twisting overhead.
Approaching the king who was on the throne, she bowed, behind that lace everything sounded easier to be undergone.
"Lady Luna, I am glad to have a meeting with you. Please leave me alone with this daughter."
Luna felt a bit discomfort to be alone with the king. Livia would avenge this back. All the presenters who offered their respect to the King rushed off and closed the door behind.
The king left his throne and took out his crown, placed it on the black pillow. Walking down the steps, he moved toward the girl, "Rise, you don't need to bow before me."
Her eyes widened and slowly with tensed bones stood on her feet. She didn't dare to look at him but he hold out his hand for her, "may I have a long conversation with you?"
She didn't refuse his hand if she ever had another door to jump in.
He began to walk to the great window where the broad courtyard was screening for him. He could see many things from there.
"The first night you came here, I was walking there." He directed to a path, looking at Luna, he discovered that lace was locking her vision.
"Remove that lace, I've already seen your face."
Luna eagerly obeyed and unpinned the lace.
"I thought that Muse Luna was there unless my son appeared beside you."
A chill danced under her skin, so he saw that she almost slipped and fell in Wilmore's arms, embarrassing. How awkward, now he might think that she was all thumbs.
"I am sure that your tenderness can help my son to control his rage. He is the only one that matters to me."
"Your highness, can I be straight with you?"
"Sure! I would appreciate that."
"Why did you leave his side? I feel that you couldn't approve that change and it made him believe that he is a beast."
The King shook his head, "I wish I could be agreed with you, I love my son but you didn't see that wolf I saw. That creature is a murderer and when he surrendered to it, we couldn't control it."
She saw terror in those eyes that were staring down at the courtyard but actually, he was recalling what he had seen.
"When you were holding his hand, I thought a miracle got happened and the ice beast left him but I discovered the truth after you explained us. Do you know that he can freeze everything and kill us all in a blink?"
"I know, I saw it."
"Can you stand by his side despite this fact? Despite what my daughter had done to your family? Can you not avenge and help him?"
"Your highness, I had made my choice. He is the only man I would stand by his side. About princess Livia, I am honest with you," her eyes drifted on the king, "if she tends to harm my family, I can't promise, not to take her life. One scratch on their bodies will bring ten scratches on her."
She menaced, it wasn't a surprise to the king, he knew the James family better than anyone. This girl was the third generation of them he met, just like her fathers, that boiling blood for the family, they only bow for love.
"Squirming in darkness can make you like her. It is all I can counsel you with."
"Your highness, I want to know why do you back me while you didn't let them be together?"
He sighed, he expected this question, "I wanted your uncle to be her husband, he was the only suitable one but the parliament refused as he hadn't royal blood and she abused her affection toward your uncle to receive more power. Do you know that she was the Crown princess?"
No, she didn't have the clue. She didn't want to hear that Livia had tended to kill her brother or her father.
"Why did you reject her?"
"She ran with your father, gave birth to a dead child but it wasn't the reason. She tended to kill Wilmore when he was an infant and my brother shielded himself and perished. I couldn't forgive this disqualification."
Luna bit her lips, he had no idea that his grandson was still alive, while she was included to digest that, another terrible fact pricked her.
"Lady Natasha's father?" Her voice quivered.
The King nodded, "yes."
"So the general isn't their father."
"He is not. Livia forced the Queen's cousin to marry one of the generals."
Things were twisted, the king couldn't stop his own daughter's lust.
"Are the siblings aware of this?"
"No, I want you to hold this until it is necessary. When Livia killed my brother, Maxima was pregnant. It was the main reason I brought you here."
He took out an envelope with the King seal and handed it to Luna.
"Protect this as your life and give it to them if I died."
"Your highness, this is a heavy responsibility."
"Yes, I can't reveal it now because it can burn the court and would bring chaos. But she is my daughter and I am a sinner for hiding her crimes, you must protect Wilmore, only you can save him."
She nodded, the court was unstable because of disagreements and he couldn't make it worse, and picking a fight with Livia. In the meantime, he could not kill her.. He was testing Luna with this mission.
