My blue eyes filled with tears as I watched my king husband exit our bed chamber. Was I really so hard to make love too? I don't understand I bathed twice today using his favorite soap. I caught him sniffing it often. Should I have put my hair up with jewels ?
Pulling my robe back around me, I stood and ran to the balcony. Silas was making his way across the court yard to the horse barn. Was he that desperate to get away ? Slipping into my slippers I hurried after him. I never imagined leaving home would be this hard. For 5 years I've tried to make him love me. I made sure the kitchen was full of all his favorite foods, I quickly learned his native language, I even stayed quite in public to ensure all the attention remained on him. I did everything my mother taught me to be a good queen and nothing seemed to catch his eye.
Sneaking into the barn I heard moaning. Slipping into a dark corner I peaked around and had to hold my hand to my mouth not to gasp. Fiona, my youngest sister in law was licking my husband's bottom. "Mmm I know that's what you want." She spoke seductively. Tears filled my eyes as I watched my king shove himself inside her and cum. I couldn't watch anymore. Running from the horse barn I made my way out to the now raining court yard. Tears streamed down my cheeks as the cold rain hit me.
"Queen Thea?" A deep voice came but I couldn't move frozen with heart ache, "Queen Thea, you shouldn't be out here so exposed like this." Rough hands guided my shoulders into a side castle door. I blinked a few times at the dimming light trying to figure out where I was. Looking up to a winding staircase I recognized the guard tower. I turned to a tall knight dressed in his uniform. He had dark hair with bright blue eyes. A major contrast from my husbands red hair and green eyes.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled shivering from my soaked night gown. "I don't know what came over me."
"Did anyone hurt you ?" The knight asked.
"No." I lied, the image of my husband fucking his sister burned in my brain.
"We need to get you back to your chamber before anyone sees you like this." He said motioning towards my wet clothes.
I glanced down and immediately covered my chest with crossed arms. My white night clothes were now see through. I followed him up the steps. "What is your name?" I asked.
"Peter." He replied clearly trying not to look at me. Not him too.
I yanked on his arm forcing him to look back. "Am I really so hard to look at?!"
Peters cheeks flushed with embarrassment as he quickly scanned my body and looked away. "You are my Queen. Of course I would never disrespect you. My duty is to protect you."
His words rushed over me and I realized how crazy I must look. "I'm only asking because he won't sleep with me." Peter made eye contact with me then continued to climb the stairs. "I'm sorry I know I shouldn't be telling you this but all my ladies maids were sent back to my country. I haven't had anyone to talk too." I followed after him. He lead me to the doorway to my hallway.
"I can't think of one reason why he wouldn't." Peter whispered. I smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek. "Now go get changed before you catch a cold."
I nodded following his advice. Entering my own chamber I had my ladies maid draw me a hot bath and fix a warm fire. She left me alone to soak in peace. Removing my wet garments, I climbed into the relaxing tub and sunk my body into it. Watching the flames of the fire flicker on the sealing I let out a sigh. What was I supposed to do after what I saw tonight ? I knew from my training that it was more then likely he would at some point take a mistress and I was to turn a blind eye. Of course through my child baring years I was not aloud to seek other options. But his sister? Surely the church would not approve of this.
Before I could finish my thoughts, two hands grabbed my shoulders and pushed my head under. I kicked my legs and screamed, panicking at not being able to breath. I looked up through the bubbles of hot water in horror to see Fiona's smiling face at me. Her eyes filled with evil. She let me up for a breath of air before shoving me back under. She repeated this several times. finally she let me up for good and I flopped myself over the tub in an attempt to get away from her. I couldn't move very fast as I was gasping for air and she easily caught me and pinned my shoulders to the floor.
"I saw you watching." She said. "I know you saw."
"You mean you fucking my husband." I spat out some water.
"No. You saw me fucking my brother." She clasped one hand around my throat. I put both hands around it, to try and pull it away but she had a good 30 pounds on me. "He was mine first. Your little foreign ass wouldn't understand what we went through growing up. How lonely this castle can be."
"I think I'm starting too." I gasped for air.
"You don't know anything about him. My father couldn't even keep me away. I took care of that problem and I will take care of you too if you don't keep your mouth shut and keep playing innocent little Queen. Got it?" Fiona squeezed my throat harder.
"I won't tell a soul." I replied. Without another word she released my throat and exited my chamber. I lay on my floor shivering, tears running down my face and my throat throbbing. What had my father gotten me into 5 years ago when he married me off at 14. How was I to survive this ? In my kingdom this would have never been aloud. Fiona said she took care of her father separating her and Silas. Did that mean she killed her father ? Her husband ? I wasn't sure all I knew was I wasn't going to be her next victim.
