Eves Of Flora

Chapter three

Okay,  I apologize for the late update, I have been so busy these last few days. So be expecting the next update on Monday.

Thanks for your comments and I hope you enjoy this update.

She just sighed and passed. As if she just got a refreshed memory, she turned and said "why don't you even ask about our daughter. It seems as if you don't care about her" Eileen said while frowning her face.

"You see, it's not as if I don't care,  it's just that, I have been worried about your condition of not giving birth.  I may be forced to take another wife." Andrew responded disappointed.

"But I promise to do everything in my power to make sure I find a solution" He said wiping the sadness of her face.

"So is that the secret you were hiding from me and you refused to spill the beans last night. It is no big deal you can take a new wife.  The mid wife said there is nothing that can be done about my situation" Eileen said trying to hide the pain and the thousands of butterflies growing in her stomach. 

"Are you sure you're OK because you don't look happy and I won't back out without a fight" Andrew said as he extended his hands to embrace her in a tight hug.

"Okay, now I have to go check on our little princess" Eileen said as she withdrew from the hug to attend to the worried cries of the little princess.

Andrew walked the flight of stairs to his chambers to avoid been seen by anyone as he flew out of the palace.

"Is she here, I want to take her to the palace immediately" Andrew said as he landed at a meadow.

Andrew said to Caleb one of his old friends.

"Oh Andrew you seem so much in a hurry, didn't you inform your 'darling wife' of your visit to me" Adeline said while air quoting darling wife.

"Look Adeline I'm not here for your stupid games"

"Stupid games, stupid games, Andrew I loved you and I still love you but you chose that goody too shoes over me,  l mean what does she even have that I don't have better. I am more powerful than her in every way" Adeline said walking in a fast pace around Andrew.

Andrew sighed.  "I called you here because I need a favour from you, I need you to help Eileen and I, they said she can't conceive again but I believe you can do something about it".

Adeline walked towards Andrew and placed her hands on his face. "Oh Andrew why would I help her seeing how much I despise her. Why won't you to take me as your new wife? I know you need a son because a girl can't perform some of the duties demanded by the fairies."

"Adeline please you are my last hope" Andrew pleaded.

"Oh the mighty,  strong and fearless King of Estaldun pleading for help.  Now that's something you don't see every day." Adeline said shortly followed by a short scoff.

"What will be my gain if I help you with your silly problems"

"I promise to give you half of Estaldun all to yourself. I give you my word and you know I never go back on my words" Andrew said.

"Hmm, well I'll see what I can do about her case but remember to fulfill your end of the deal. Take me to her."Adeline said giving Andrew a stern look.

Andrew and Adeline flew into the palace but this time not through the window but the door.

"Your Majesty, what is she doing here? You gave a strict order to never let her in the palace ever that anyone to flaunt the order will be exterminated" Caitlin panicked.

"Caitlin please get Eileen for me, tell her to meet me at the guest lounge" Andrew ordered

"Oh really, you gave them an order to never let me in the palace,  how did that turn out now? You brought me into the palace" Adeline said laughing hysterically.

Eileen walked down the stairs and into the guest lounge surprised to see Adeline. "Oh hi Adeline I didn't know you were visiting " she said noticing Adeline sitting on the couch with a glass of juice in her hands.

She grabbed Andrew by his hands into a corner of the hallway. "Why did you bring
her here? She hates me"

"She is the only one who can help you now we have tried others but I believe she can" Andrew explained.

"What are u paying her with because I know that she won't just agree to help someone she hates so much"

"I will give her half of Estaldun"

"What! Are you crazy?, I am okay with you taking another wife but please don't give it to her" Eileen pleaded.

"I have taken my decision and I will no longer speak on this matter again, join us in the lounge" Andrew said as he walked out to the lounge.

"So stubborn, am I right " Adeline spat to Eileen as she walked in.

"What do you mean? " Eileen asked as she sat on the couch adjacent to Andrew.

"Let's forget it and can you come forward Eileen" Adeline said as she dropped her drink on a stool and stood up.

Eileen walked to the couch and sat down beside her as Adeline held her hands.  Within two seconds, Adeline forcefully dropped Eileen's hands immediately taking deep breaths.

"What is it done " Andrew asked impatiently.

"I don't know, I couldn't help her, a great force pushed me away as I tried to heal her. I almost lost my life. She may never be able to conceive again. I have to leave immediately." Adeline said walking out of the lounge in a fast pace.

The whole room was filled with silence after the stunt displayed by Adeline.
Andrew walked out and made way for his chambers locking the door behind him.

Eileen broke down in tear and rushed to check on her princess because she always finds happiness in her daughter.
I apologise for the late updates again I'll try to speed up my updates.

This is not my favourite chapter but I kind of like it. How do you like the introduction of Adeline in the story.  She might not be in it for a while but she will still be back.

I hope you enjoyed it. Pls vote and also drop your comments. Thanks so much for reading this story.  It is my first book on watt pad.
