Chapter 54: Breaking point
Unlike Ariana, for Jürgen, the picture soon came together… it was clear that the king was obsessively in love with the girl, and had no thoughts of letting her out of the luxury prison.
The man's first thought was to strangle the king in his sleep, but then, in the absence of a perpetual inheritance, the royal bloodline would be severed, and the country would have drowned in a quarrel over power, and he was unlikely to be able to maintain his current position. As for Ariana… without the king backing her , she would be executed by greedy nobles in no time.
He was disgusted at the thought of his love being embraced by another man every night… but there was nothing to do.
"The clearest way is, when Ariana becomes pregnant, and as soon as the heir to the throne is born, I get rid of Jerome nicely… we get married and everything goes on as it supposed to go."
Although Jürgen and Jerome did not have much in common, they were similar in one thing. They both confused the girl's kindness with love… Ariana just wanted to please them, to the point they would not want to be execute her like the original queen, but this was taken by Jürgen as if he were the girl's only hope…
"Only I can free her from the claws of that monster! I need to find out what and how they prevent the pregnancy from occurring - that's the most important thing right now. "
Unfortunately, Kathy couldn't find out the information… and time just passed and Jürgen became more and more impatient.
"Summer is my favorite season!"
Ariana lay down on the grass, then closed her eyes so she could enjoy the rays of the hot summer sun on her skin. Jürgen was also lying next to her, but he was just staring at the girl.
"It really is a beautiful day!"
The man was also cheerful, the king was away from the capital, for the first time in months. He could have carelessly enjoyed her company. Suddenly he noticed that she was taking deeper and deeper breaths.
"A… Ariana?"
He called her name softly, but the girl did not answer… she fell asleep.
As the man leaned closer, his heart beat faster and harder. For the first time, he saw the girl so peaceful, so defenseless… as he admired her lashes, he didn't even notice… and he already kissed her.
He sat up suddenly. His face flushed. He knew that this should not have happened… since if his willpower weakened even a little… he would not be able to restrain himself.
Then Ariana whimpered, opening her eyes.
"Did I fall asleep?"
"Just a little… if you're tired, you'd better rest in the palace."
"Haaa…"
She yawned a big one, then stood up.
"Well then Jüzef, we'll meet tomorrow."
The man nodded, then watched the girl disappear into the trees.
"I'm not normal!"
He grabbed his head and hurried to the secret tunnel. Although he only dreamed of the girl on the days when they did not meet… he always felt a maddening desire after the personal meetings. Rarely, he had the opportunity to hug the queen or sniff into her hair secretely… but never dared to go any further… but now… he crossed a line. He could still feel the touch of red velvet on his lips, he could still smell cherries on himself… A single kiss was enough to make his cock stand up.
"Fortunately, she didn't notice…"
He pulled together the swinging dress, which successfully saved him from the awkward situation. He knew well, this hardening will not go away… he had to help himself…
Ariana had felt, something was wrong with her since this morning. She was a little dizzy, her head ached in the afternoon as well.
"Only idiots get cold in the summer…"
She laughed to herself as she recalled the symptoms of the flu.
The sparkling sunshine in the morning was replaced by dark clouds in the afternoon.
"We can expect heavy rain."
Kathy closed the window disapprovingly.
"The fields needs rain. "
The queen set aside her favorite book with a smile.
"Yes Mistress, but remember… the basement was soaked last year… all the water is flowing here from the mountain! As if we were the watershed of the capital. I'm worried… there were heavy rains last week… I'm afraid it won't be swallowed by the earth if there is a bigger storm. "
She left the room sadly. All her worries were legitimate, because if the basement gets soaked, the staff rooms will be in the water… and the workers have to carry the water out all night…
"Plus, the ventilation downstairs is so bad that the rooms will have mold in a few days - I need to talk to Jerome - maybe it would be better to build a separate residential building for the workers."
Ariana was about to have dinner when she heard a shout.
"Ahhh! I can not believe it!"
Excitedly, two maids hugged each other.
"What happened?"
The queen stepped beside them.
"Your Majesty! I have great news! The rebellion was crushed! "
The knight told the information with a huge smile on her face.
However, the queen's cheering never came. Ariana fell to the ground completely pale.
"HO… how ?!"
"Mistress!"
The servants immediately tried to support her from two sides. Then, accompanied by a huge bolt of lightning, the storm broke out.
'That..it can't be… there is still more than a month before I turn 20… how could they have defeated the rebells? And if it was really beaten down, why am I not pregnant yet? What happened? Is the timeline of the book completely distorted? '
She ran wildly in fear into the rain.
"Mistress!"
The staff run afterwards her.
"The king… I must speak… I must speak to the king!"
She also lost her shoes in the grass. She knew full well that Jerome was not in the capital… but she wanted answers. She was completely overwhelmed by the fact that she might never get out of here alive. Eventually two knights caught her, and while the maids tried to calm her down, she fell to the ground again.
'Is there no way out? Can't I win against the book ?! '
"Jerome!"
She shouted the man's name until finally her fever soared so high, that she lost consciousness.
