Chapter 29

King Archer stood from his bed as he tied his robe tightly around his waist, he had slept quite late because of Pearl's kidnap, he couldn't just point out who exactly could have kidnapped his wife.

He knows that he has just one enemy that might be the culprit, but at same time he wasn't sure that his wife was taken away by Theodore, Theodore can't be a lowly weakling to use his wife as a bait when he can simply call for a fight.

He sighed as he ran his hands through his hair, he sat in front of his large mirror as he stared at his bulgy face reflection, his eyes were swollen due to staying up late all night.

Maybe he is really a bad husband, maybe Pearl doesn't deserve to be with him… Wait what was he thinking?, He doesn't care if Pearl loves him or not, he is simply saving her because of his unborn baby.

King Archer never wants to believe that he is falling in Love, to him… Love is one crazy thing that traps you with one person and makes you a sudden softy, King Archer doesn't want that at all, he wants to be feared, he doesn't want to be manipulated by any woman.

A guard walked into the chamber as he bowed on seeing King Archer, he had a paper on his hand and it was obviously a letter for the king.

"Good morning my King, I am sorry for disturbing you this early please pardon" Arlo said as he bowed genuinely sorry for disturbing his king but he knew that whatever content on the paper is going to be important as it was a letter given by the messenger of Prussiate.

"What's that you're holding?" The king said coldly as he walked to the guard staring closely at the letter.

"This is a letter delivered by the messenger of Prussiate, he said that he was sent to deliver it by King Theodore" Arlo said as he handed the letter to King Archer who took it curious about why Theodore would send him a letter and what the letter would read.

He gently opened the paper and read through it as suddenly he started folding the paper in fury, he was suddenly burning in anger as his lips vibrated as if his teeth would fall.

King Theodore his enemy was with his wife!, He had dared him to come over to Prussiate and free his wife else he would turn her into a slave and add his own seed into her.

He couldn't imagine what his wife was going through with Theodore, he doesn't even want to imagine Theodore on top of his wife that…thought alone made him want to destroy everything.

Why would Theo want to involve Pearl of all his wife into a fight she doesn't know how it started.

"My King, you are bleeding!" Arlo muttered not knowing if it would be wise to go close to his king.

King Archer was so angry that he couldn't feel the pain he was causing himself, he had injured himself by tightening his fist.

"Call all the guards together, we are going to Prussiate right now, Theodore is with my wife" the guard bowed and quickly rushed out.

I weakly picked the Lilies as I sowed them into the muddy ground, it was as if the more I sowed the Lilies the more it increased in the pot, it looked untouched and that made me weaker.

I was literally sitting on the muddy ground just as the cruel man kept me, I was just too tired to get up and even if I get up I won't be able to bend and sow the Lily's because of my waist.

I was looking so disgusting and dirty, I never imagined myself like this even when I was a mere commoner, I have never worked so hard in my life… If only my Friends could see me in this position.

I look like a frustrated pregnant beggar, this stress isn't supposed to be, I should be resting and not working.

"Hey Lily Queeen" A fat girl on a uniform like mine uttered sarcastically with disgust clear on her face as her fellows laughed out loud, the emphasis on the name got me thinking.

The fat slave girl pulled my dirty hair and yanked my head up to look straight into her ugly fatty face, my head hurts by her grip.

"Let go of my hair Please!" I squealed in pains as she gripped even tighter, why was she suddenly mean to me even when she doesn't know who I am?, I could see by the respect the other people gave her that she is the slave leader.

If she really is the leader then I am triple doomed!.

She pushed me to the ground Making the mud nearly enter my mouth as my body was already messed up. She looked at me with so much distaste Making me wonder why she already hated me on my first day.

"So… What is a Queen doing with low lifes like us?" She said coldly as she folded her arms together staring at me sternly with her dark eyes.

Well she can't expect me to answer that question because I don't even know why I am here!.

Her eyes drifted down to my baby bump, as her expression changed to what I didn't understand.

"Ohh! Our queen is expecting a baby soon! This is so cool!!" She muttered as she turned to her fellows who just fake smiled "but we do not want you here!!, You can't be a slave if you're pregnant because slaves are strong people and not lazy people!" She yelled angrily as she hit my belly so hard that I felt like my baby was forced out, it hurt so much the way she hit it without emotions.

"Vicky, Ezra the disciplinarian is coming!" One of the slave called out as they all ran away, they really feared him… Indeed he should be feared because he is dangerous.

"Seren! Pearl is in very big danger!" Rosamund cried worriedly as she entered the room to meet Seren to style her hair.

"What Happened!?, Has she been found!" Seren asked curiously as she walked over to Rosamund who had tears in her eyes.

"No!, Not that!… She is captured by the deadly king of Prussiate!" Rosamund muttered as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"That's the worst news I have heard in a long time! That king is cruel and I am sure he would harm pearl because of king archer, Pearl isn't in a good hand at all!" Seren muttered as she slumped on the bed, she was way too strong to cry but she felt like letting it out, she was scared of losing her friend to a wicked king and never seeing her.

"Seren please come up with an idea, we really need to get Pearl out of that kingdom, the people of that kingdom are not good in any way" Rosamund said worriedly, turning to the frustrated Seren.

Ever since they came to that castle they haven't heard any good news, it's from one problem to the other, being royalty isn't indeed a bed of roses as they thought.

"We have to know the king's plans first" Seren simply said as she heard loud masculine voices outside, it was like a call to way noice "what's going on outside?" She asked, walking towards the window.

"King Archer has gathered almost all the guards in the castle, they are going to Prussiate to get Pearl back" Rosamund said walking behind her to the window.

"God!, This might not end well"

King Archer stood in the midst of his guards in fury, he was ready for war, he was ready to shed blood to get Pearl back, he couldn't bear having Pearl stay in a castle full of his enemies.

"We have made up our minds to accept whatever Theodore wants, we expect war and bloodshed but we are ready, I'm I right!?" He called out angrily

"Yes your majesty!" The guards shouted in response with a voice as loud as anything, it was so loud that it could be heard from the market.

"Good to know that we are all ready!, So we are going to Prussiate to strike a war, yes we might have complications on our way or when we get to the kingdom, but that doesn't matter because we have conquered" He said as the guards cheered in funny way without a single form of smile on their faces, so serious that no normal being will go close to them.

"But if I die…" King Archer said blankly as he tightened his fist "you all should bear whatever pain you might face, if you all think I am a cruel King then you should be expecting something worse than mine" King Archer said as he climbed on his horse.

The guards all climbed their horses as they all rode alongside the King, yeah most of them were scared of getting killed but they still had no other choice than to go with the king as it was their fate to serve the king till death.

Rosamund and Seren turned to each other as they suddenly shouted…

"War!"

"Seren, this is becoming worse than I thought! Did you see the look on the King's face? That was a dangerous one" Rosamund said as Seren ran her hand through her hair.

"I hope after all this, the king will come back alive with Pearl, I don't wish for him to die because If he dies the king of Prussiate takes over this kingdom and turns us to his slaves, we won't have freedom in our kingdom again"
