Forgotten Wife

CHAPTER 33: A WALK ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Setherian had a raging headache, he had always hated the meetings with the nobles but that day had been worse, he already had enough with one wife, to have another one would be unthinkable.

-As if he didn't have enough with one, now they want him to have another, they are crazy," Setherian was complaining when Fergal arrived.

-What is your majesty complaining about?

-Those damned nobles keep pressuring me about having an heir, today they even dared to ask me to have a second wife, as if it wasn't annoying enough to have a wife.

-I thought his majesty had started to enjoy his marital life a bit more, but I guess I was wrong.

-What part makes you think I'm enjoying my marriage?

-Perhaps his majesty hasn't noticed, but he's been going to his room early for a while now, it's as if he's looking forward to being with the princess.

-It's nothing like what you're thinking, I just want him to recover soon and return to his magic classes.

-And how is it going to make the princess fall in love with her majesty?

-I'm working on it.

-May I ask what his majesty has done to win the princess's heart?

Setherian hadn't really done anything, he just kissed the princess when he felt like it and hugged her, he looked away and changed the subject.

-I hear there are new apprentices in the wizard tower, is anyone outstanding?

-His majesty has never cared about new recruits, he's asking about them just to change the subject, right?

-Not at all.

-It's more than obvious that you are lying, if you don't know what to do to conquer the princess I can help you, I have a lot of experience with women.

-You haven't even married yet.

-That's because I haven't found the right one yet, but I know how to treat a woman, I could tell her what someone like the princess wants the most.

-And according to you, what does she want most?

-Be loved, she has been alone all her life, she has never had the warmth of a family, nor friends, if you want to conquer her you only have to be a loving man.

-I already am, I hug her at night and I kiss her very often.

-I don't think she considers that as affection if not as the desires of possession of her majesty, a kiss from someone you don't love can be unpleasant. Have you ever made the princess enjoy a kiss or a hug, have you ever given her a gift? From the look on her face I don't think so.

-I'm busy Fergal, what have you really come here for? I doubt it was to give me advice about my married life.

-That's where your majesty is right, that's not why I'm here," Fergal answered with a straight face.

-What's the matter?

-I have felt a great amount of magic in the kingdom of Baldoyle, King Quin has started to move, I think it is a barrier, he is protecting his kingdom from possible attacks, he is preparing for war. What I will say may sound cruel, but his majesty must make sure that the princess is on our side in this war, that she fights for this kingdom or for his majesty.

-We must also prepare for war, I want you to gather the wizards and prepare a barrier around the kingdom.

-I will do so, your majesty.

-I believe that this war will be imminent, so we must prepare ourselves, this time we will not bow to the kingdom of Baldoyle.

When afternoon came Rebecca asked the maids to put her in a light and fresh dress to go for a walk, they put her in a light pale pink and white chiffon dress and a white hat to protect her skin from the sun as it had been a long time since the princess had left her room. Two maidservants accompanied her, as she walked among the flowers Rebecca felt that she was alive again, that after so long she had been released from her golden cage.
