Forgotten Wife

CHAPTER 44: FORGIVE ME

The maids came into the room with a myriad of flowers, Rebecca wondered what it was all about, the room was filled with flowers, of all colors and types, although there were no roses.

-What is all this?- Asked Rebecca.

-Her majesty ordered us to bring these flowers for the princess- answered one of the maids.

-I don't want them, take them away.

-We can't do that princess, her majesty would be angry with us if we don't obey her orders.

-I don't want them.

-Please, princess, accept the flowers, they are not to blame for anything.

The maids were begging the princess for several hours until she finally accepted the flowers, after the maids left Rebecca stared at the flowers, a sweet scent had spread throughout the room. It was a beautiful detail on the king's part, however, she could not forgive him for lying to her, she knew she was being foolish but she hated being lied to and most of all she hated the pain.

Someone knocked on the door, soon after Setherian peeked out and asked.

-May I come in?

-No- Rebecca answered coldly.

Setherian ended up entering the room ignoring Rebecca's wishes, he sat on the edge of the bed, he tried to take her hand but she wouldn't let him.

-I know you're angry but I'm apologizing.

Rebecca turned her face away, she did not want to listen to the king, she covered her ears with her hands and told him.

-I don't want to listen to his majesty.

Setherian took Rebecca's hands and forced her to look at him.

-What do you want me to do to make you forgive me?

-Nothing, I no longer believe her majesty's words.

-I know I lied to you and I apologize for that, I couldn't control myself and I hurt you.

-It hurt me a lot, it still hurts.

Setherian stole a kiss from Rebecca and said.

-I'm sorry.

Rebecca tried to push him away, but she couldn't, he kept kissing her and between kisses he repeated "I'm sorry" over and over again.

-I'm sorry, it won't happen again, I'll be gentler next time.

-There won't be a next time, I don't want to feel pain again.

Setherian caressed her face, her hair, gave her a soft kiss on her cheek, on her lips and said.

-Forgive me, I will do what you ask me but forgive me, let me redeem myself.

-I don't believe in your majesty's words anymore, they are lies, I hate being lied to, I can stand being ignored or treated badly, but I hate being lied to and I hate the pain even more.

-Now that I know it won't happen again.

-Do you really promise?

-I can't promise there will be no pain in the future because you are still inexperienced, but once you get used to it there will be no pain.

-This time it's not a lie?

-Of course it isn't.

Setherian kept filling her face with little kisses until she agreed to forgive him, though she still refused a second time. Setherian knew there were times when it was better to give in, so he didn't keep insisting, he would wait for her to calm down, let her guard down and forget what happened the night before.

Roman had returned to the training camp, that day he had been practicing with the sword all afternoon, he wanted to unburden himself, to get out all the pain and suffering he carried inside. The fact that Setherian and Rebecca had consummated their marriage meant only one thing, they had become a real marriage, there was no place for him between the two of them. Roman kept practicing until his hands were filled with sores, they were raw, the pain had begun to be very annoying, if he went to see the princess even for a moment he knew that his wounds could heal easily, but he refused to go to see her because at that moment he was unable to control his emotions and he did not want to say or do something that he would regret in the future.
