Chapter 42

Alexandra's POV

"Yes! I'll marry you over and over and over again!"

He stood up and put the ring on my finger. He kissed my lips and twirled me.

I squealed and we laughed.

"I love you Brandon." I whispered.

"I-"

"Your highness!!" Conor came running towards us. Brandon's face was cold again and he looked at him.

"What's the matter and I hope it's something worth bothering us." He snarled.

"I'm sorry your highness but your father has requested your presence immediately. He said it is important. W just got his letter and I'm afraid it's something big." He said. I looked at Brandon with horror.

These past few days were rough to us. The castle's attack, my injury and bow this. What else are they planning to make our life a living hell?

"Brandon we have to go." I said putting my hand on his arm.

"I know Alexa. I am so sorry."

"Look at me honey. I lived the most beautiful 2 days in my life. We have duties now and I am ready as hell to hold my responsibilities. Our kingdom needs us B! We have long years more together." I said.

"You're a real queen." He stated proudly and kissed my cheek.

"Let's go."

In 1 hour we were back at the castle. Brandon headed instantly to his father's office.

"Welcome back your highness." The maids greeted me. I smiled at them.

"Where's mom and Lea?" I asked them. They avoided looking into my eyes.

"Your highness why don't you rest in your room. We prepared it for you and the king." The head of the maids said.

"What's going on?" I turned to Conor. "Conor? What's happening? Where's mom?"

"She's in her room don't worry."

"Great then I want to see her." I started walking to their room but they wouldn't let me.

"I am your queen and I demand to see my mother now."

"Alexa!"

"Brandon. Where's my mother?" I asked him.

"Come with me." I nodded and followed him. We entered our room and he closed the door.

"There's nothing to worry about sweetheart. Everything is okay." But I knew he was lying. I know him like the back of my hand.

"You are lying Brandon." I said glaring at him. He sighed.

"I want you to trust me okay?" I felt defeated but I trusted him to death.

"Okay." I replied. He kissed my forehead. "You're kissing me a lot." I chuckled.

"I know. I love kissing your lips, your cheeks, your forehead and everything in you." He smirked.

"What did your father want?" I asked him and he tensed.

"We'll talk about it later sweetheart."

"Fine." I rolled my eyes. "I hate being kept in the dark B."

"Stop calling me that." He playfully scolded me.

"I'm calling you that until you tell me everything that's happening." I smirked.

"You're evil." He said.

"I know." I winked.

Brandon's POV

"Father." I said walking into his office.

"Good you're back. If it wasn't an important matter I wouldn't have interrupted your honeymoon son."

"It's okay father. Alexa and I understand that we now have more responsibilities and we as king and queen we should be worried about our kingdom more."

"Indeed." My father nodded.

"What's the matter then?"

"I know what you did." He said looking into my eyes.

"What?" I was confused.

"Your attack. And I know that Lucius is here." He glared at me.

"He's Elena's father and-"

"Does that mean you can attack him and bring him here? You know that Isabelle married the duke of Krayelon. Are you trying to make that filthy kingdom have more hate towards us? But I can't help but be proud of your tactics."

"Father. If you could kindly listen to me." I said.

"Fine. Go ahead I'm listening." He sat back on his chair facing me.

"Lucius helped his daughter to attack us. So he's involved in it. We have to know every step Elena is making. She's Isabelle's daughter. She wants not only to put me down, but revenge for her mother." I said calmly.

"Her mother was nothing but a wh*re. Revenge for what? She knew I would kick her out in the end of the day. I was a king. I get attached to only one woman. And that happened to be your mother."

"Yes thankfully you chose my mother. To think I was in love with my dad's wh*re's daughter. I was so stupid."

"Yes you were. But your mother saw that you were so in love with her that she didn't want to break it to you so she said nothing. I'm glad that my daughter-in-law is Alexandra."

"Yeah. You didn't tell me until now what's the matter." He grabbed a piece of paper-a letter specifically.

"What's this."

"When you grabbed Lucius you sent a letter to them. Apparently they have a traitor that works for us." He smirked knowing I'm behind it.

"And?"

"He sent you a letter. Read it carefully." He gave me the letter and I opened it immediately.

Dear old friend,

I'm fine. A little tired and sore from exercise. Physical exercise. I'm trying to please our leader Elena.

Recently we are having lots of meetings that's why I couldn't write a letter for you.

How's your wife? Take good care of her.

I'll see you in 1 month when everything is over.

Silas.

"I can't understand a thing. What does he mean by his letter?" Dad asked me.

I reread the letter 5 times.

"A little tired and sore from exercise. That means training. Warriors training." I said.

"What?" I ignored my dad and read the other lines.

"We are having lots of meetings. Head chiefs meetings. They are putting plans and tactics." I murmured.

"Take good care of your wife and he insisted on good. She had already been injured. Which means this letter was meant to be received before. He knew about the attack." I clenched my jaw to control my anger.

"And?"

"I'll see you in one month when everything is over."

"What does that mean?" My dad asked.

"It means Elena is preparing for something big. Elena is preparing for a war." I said finally.
