Edward pov ..
I walked into the waiting room only to find owen waiting patiently for valerie , When he noticed my present he quickly stood up to greet .
" Good morning your majesty"
" Why are you here "
" I came to see Lady valerie , It's been a while since I last saw her, I think that should be when we were at sir Luca's dinner party ,I just came in from a trip so I decided to stop by and give her a gift I got for her "
He bought out the gift and placed it on the table infront In me .
' Thank you owen but I don't think she have any need for it "
" Your majesty I think that is left for lady valerie to decide don't you think so "
" I think you deaf , Because if you are not you must have heard that lady valerie is engaged to be married to me "
" I heard that your majesty , But does things are rumors and I know you wouldn't settle for anything les..."
" Something less you mean "
' Forgive me your majesty I spoke out of tongues "
" Indeed ,You should mind how you speak owen ,I can asked for your tongue at anytime "
" Forgive me Your majesty but I hope you agree with me that engagement can be broken at anytime "
" One thing you should know owen I don't take threat likely , Am very aggressive when it comes to threats so don't make me use you as a scape goat "
"Apologize your majesty , But I need to take my leave "
He was about to leave when I noticed that the box was still lying on the table .
' Owen I think you are forgetting something "
He quickly restricted his steps and came back to stand in front of me .
" My lord you called me "
" Yes I think you are forgetting what you dropped on the table "
" I Don't think I need to take it back with me Your majesty it's for lady Valerie "
" I thought you said I was settling for something less ,so what are doing "
' It's true I have feelings for lady valerie ,and I wouldn't waste anytime to make her my wife "
" Tsk..tsk.. what audacity you have there owen , Standing before your king and tell him how much you love his wife to be "
" I Don't know if you feel offend by my words Your majesty am sorry , But I just spoke my mind "
" That's mind of your will lead you to Your early grave if you ever think of having what's not yours ,Get out "
He bow is head and left with the gift he brought , Immediately he left samuel came in
" Your majesty sir Clifford is here to see you "
" Let him in "
Samuel left the waiting room and came back in with sir Clifford.
" Your majesty "
" Sir Clifford , Thank you for your support "
" Ah it's nothing I know you will make a fine king , Even when I witness your father's death with my own very eyes , You should be careful Lord Alexander is trying so hard to take the throne "
" Then he will die trying "
"I know you killed your father but you shouldn't spare your brother too because he will do anything to bring you down "
" I killed my father because he deserved it ,he treated my mother like a slave ,A woman who's only crime was to fall in love with a prince , But you know beauty can be deceitful sometimes "
' You are right, Ah I still remember your mother ,she was a very beautiful ,Her face ,her eyes ,her voice, still fresh in my memory , You know where ever my sister is right now she will be proud of you "
" I know thank you once again for your help "
" You don't have to mention , This is the least I could do for my sister ,"
" Tell me how is the family "
" They are all fine ,I Heard you are getting married soon "
" Yes that is part of the reason I called you here ,I need your support ,I know lord Alexander have been joining forces with the southern lords and duke to wage war against me ,so I will need your strongest men ,I also know there will want to carry out an attack on me very soon, That's why I need your men sir Clifford "
" You don't have to ask My lord just say the word and we are ready to go fight a war for your sake "
" Thank you I knew I would always count on you"
" You are welcome "
He stood up and bow is head to leave .when he left , i quickly rushed back to my chambers to see Valerie .
Valerie pov .
I woke later in the evening ,I couldn't find Edward anywhere in the room ,I tried to sat up , But I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen , Just then the door was opened and Ella rushed in .
" My lady you are going to hurt yourself "
" Ella what happened I haven't seen you or Sophia since I woke up "
" How are you my lady ,I hope you are fine "
" Yes am getting better it's just the Sharp pain am feeling on my abdomen "
" You will be alright My lady thank Zeus you are finally awake I was worried sick about you "
" Am..fine Ella please get me a glass of water '
" Yes my lady "
She got up from the bed and quickly poured me a glass of water ,I took it from her and slowly drank the water ,when I was done drinking I gave her back the cup .
" My lady do you need something else "
" No that will be all for now ".
" Okay my lady I will have to take my leave "
" Wait ,I noticed you have been avoiding my question "
" What could that be my lady "
I looked behind her to see if I could see Sophia coming .
" Where is sophia?"
" My lady you have to rest now ,I think am in no position to answer that question "
" What do you mean by you are in no position to answer me "
" My lady please the king will tell you everything in details for now I have to leave "
Suddenly we heard footsteps approaching us ,I could see how tensed up Ella was , Immediately the door was opened and Edward stepped in .
" What are doing here"
Ella quickly fell on her knee and bowed her head ,I could see her shaking in fear .
' Am sorry Your majesty I...I..."
" Leave her allow Edward I sent for her "
" Why didn't you ask the guards to call me instead "
" You might be doing something important and I don't want to disturb you "
" I will let her go this time but Whenever you need anything let me know "
" Okay I will "
Ella quickly got up and ran out of Edwards chambers , Edward on the other hand decided to change his clothes ,when he was done change his clothes he decided to join me in bed .
" Edward please I will love to ask you a questions "
" Sure go ahead "
" Where is sophia my personal maid ".
