Fearless

"Your Majesty, The King wants to see you in his chamber." A servant curtsied before speaking up. I nod at her words and walked past her to Kitt's room.

Kitt was waiting for me, sitting on the bed. "My love, I have been waiting for you." He said softly, standing up and brushing a strand of hair from my face.

"What is it?" I quietly mutter. I can't find the strength to speak with my normal voice with Kitt eyeing me up and down hungrily. He is my husband yet I still feel uncomfortable around him.

"Maybe it is time for us to have an heir." Kitt's voice lowered an octave as his hands snake around my waist.

"I don't think I am ready. . ." Kitt's eyes darkened at my words. He grasped my wrist, nope. I don't have a choice in this.

"Stop it!" I hit his chest over and over. Here I am defenceless with no daggers with me. My dagger is left in my chambers, as a Queen, I cannot keep bringing sharp objects everywhere.

"I-I'm so sorry—" Kitt's voice trembles as he takes a step back, his hands tangling in his hair.

I am still shaken, I dash away, not caring if I almost tripped over my long gown.

Kitt didn't chase after me. Not surprising, he knows I need space after what he's done. I know an heir is inevitable but not now. I am not ready to surrender to him completely."

My legs hurt. My heart pounds, yet stopping hasn't entered my thoughts. I run and run, till I bump into something—someone.

"Your Majesty—" The imperial's mouth hung open as if to say something else but I don't give him time to speak and cut him off.

"I need time alone, please." I am shocked with how calm I said that out loud.

The imperial got out of my way and I didn't run after that. I just walked back to my chamber. It's not long before dusk hits and I eventually have to see Kitt and him again but I'm not worrying about Kitt bringing up the topic, I doubt he even is going to dinner.

Kai however is somewhere filled with memories of us. He is training in the fields, I wish our story had ended there. Me coddled in his arms as we stared at the night sky upon us.

I can see him from the palace window. The tip of his sword glows under the sunset shining its light on it.

                              ~~~
I have completely forgotten. . . The banquet for all the royals around the world is tonight. No dinner. I don't have to see Kai but I definitely have to see Kitt. That is not good news.

I'm still shook by what happened earlier, my hand still trembles whenever I think of him and what he has done.

Someone knocks at my door. "Paedyn. . . Are you there? I'm so sorry for earlier, but please. . . The guests are waiting outside, I cannot go out without my queen by my side." Kitt's soft voice made my heart want to jump out.

"Bonjour, bonjour mon ami ! C'est un plaisir de te revoir" Hello, hello my friend! It is nice to see you again. I made a weird face at that. But me and Kitt have finally gone to the banquet.

Kitt on the other hand spoke to the guy, greeting him nicely while I stuck to the other guests who spoke English.

Kai is on the other side of the room. Talking to Lady Joura, a royal from another kingdom. That somehow made something inside me churn.

My eyes dragged their gaze away from him, no, Kai isn't mine for me to care about whoever he talks to or whatever he talks about with me. I quickly found Kitt and I walked towards him.

"Oh, sorry madame, I did not know you could not speak French." The guy earlier said with a thick accent. He curtsied as I did too.

It was a nice night overall, Kitt apologized, there have been dances. At one point, it happened that I danced with Kai, although there were jealous eyes looking at us. I knew who it was but I'd rather not look.

Kitt returned me to my chamber, letting me have space to cool off. Kitt knew I still was shaken from earlier and so he gave me space. I have forgiven him, he's so sweet.
