A Royal Bloody Wedding

C H A P T E R: V

La Roche, France 1865

    "I must tell you about something dear Noah" Anastasia looked at her lover with an emotion combined of two unpleasant feelings; despair and happiness as they hid behind the castle walls secretively. Noah knew that the very look she presented him with had a good and bad side to it, it was the dominating one he feared. He stood next to her in his Royal, steele uniform looking nervous as to what she has to say to him.

"Hurry Anastasia, we don't have time before they see us" Noah pushed his eager lump down his throat fearing that one of the maids or a member of the royal family catches the two forbidden lovers.

"I am baring your child Noah" Those words were enough to send Noah into an oblivious state, his face completely washed of any deceiving feeling that was easily detectable, it was almost as if he were a different person from the one Anastasia well knew and loved.

"What have you done Anastasia" He bitterly whisper shouted dragging his hands along his face stressfully as he forbid any merriment from creating itself as he thought of Anastasia's life on the line due to a baby she will be having. He thought of many scenarios that could realistically happen if his mother knew and pushed the thought away as his eyes travelled down to his lover's stomach knowing deeply his heart was floating in happiness.

Anastasia however, took it in a way he no longer loved her or wanted the child and Noah thought selfishly of himself.

"I did not sin Noah, it's god's great miracles that you are bitterly bickering about" She furiously spat out making sure the hurt and anger clearly show like a red thread on white fabric.

"You need to leave La Roche Anastasia" Noah found himself saying not obtaining the courage to imagine what he'll do if his parents find out about the child he will bring to the world from a non-royal and killing the two.

"What-"

Noah knew if he didn't have to explain himself, that shall save him a crucial heartbreak and would give Anastasia a reason to despise every inch of him.

"You mean nothing to me Ana-"

Before he finished what he had to say, Anastasia felt that her heart had been shattered like a glass vase and she couldn't fight the pain any longer as she felt betrayed by the one person she trusted.

Well, one of the people she deeply trusted with anything precious nearest to her heart.

The following day, she packed her bags and informed the Royal family that her sister was threateningly ill and she needed to go take care of the farm for her. A lie that needed to be bought by them and eventually caused a horrific life twist in the future.

Anastasia moved back with her sister Tea San Marie and day by day started to close up the harsh wounds caused by her lover.

Noah was never the same since Anastasia left, the castle felt lonely and utterly unamusing to him. Women of all sort offered him their body but he refused all and decided to focus on his Kingdom instead of love. It was after ten years King Noah was arranged to marry Queen Farida and they brought an endearing boy into the world.

And Anastasia hid her daughter and ran off not bearing the pain she deeply felt for Noah.

The doors of King Stephen's chambers slammed close harshly sending off a loud sound to make even the guards horrific jump after Alessandra's last foot stepped out and to say she has never been so heartbroken was a statement she couldn't process through. She saw vivid glimpses of Aunt Tea's head not connected to her body and Maria begging for mercy as she imagined what it would be like if she selfishly didn't follow the demands of the King. Marriage? With a person, even ants know how much she despises? He made a mockery of her dead lover and doesn't deserve the title of King.
