75!

BRIANNA

It's been a few months since we had the funeral ceremony of the King and Queen along with the fallen Soldiers.

There has been a level of serenity and quietness but I think we all know in a matter of seconds that will change for the worst.

I allowed the air flow through my hair as I stood in the balcony of Liam's chamber. We have been spending a lot of night time together which is one of my happiest times of the day.

We have neglected our emotional feelings for the sake of the kingdom but now all is a little bit quiet, taking time for ourselves has been the best feeling.

Except for the constant hiding from Beta Chris, who insists we don't meet with each other until our marriage night. I doubt that worked for him when he was courting his mate. Even Mason could testify to that.

“What are you thinking about?” I felt Liam's arms around my waist and his lips on my ears.

“Nothing,” I giggled, enjoying the feeling his lips gave to me. “I'm just enjoying the quiet,” I said to him.

“You should return to the bed, have each other for a while,” he brushed his tongue against my ears. I could feel my clit tightened underneath my thighs.

“I think I should remain in the good graces of Beta Chris,” I turned around to face him. “He is now like a father figure, right?” I asked him.

“Well, I'm his King. And I can do whatever I want,” he lifted me up and placed me on the rails of the balcony.

“Liam!” I scream, looking down at heights between us and the ground.

“Hey, I'm holding you,” he said, turning my face to look at him. “I'm not going to let you go,” his eyes glistened with love, desire and affection.

I couldn't ask for a better mate. Our lips touched and we made out like never before.

Being with Liam always feels like there is a fire in my bones, I don't seem to get enough of him and he doesn't either.

Every time we kiss or make love it's always better than the last one. Our love ignites like a fire each time and it's so amazing.

“You have to get that,” I said, breaking off our kiss at the sound of the tenth knock on the door.

“Ugh,” he groaned and brought me down gently. “What is it?!” He yelled as the door opened.

“Your highness, the Delegates are arriving,” the messenger said and he nodded.

“I think that's my cue,” I said, walking towards the door but he stopped me. “You have to let me go,” I chuckled.

“Can't we just go somewhere without all of these duties and responsibilities?” He asked and I faced him.

“We will, soon,” I caressed his breads. “but right now we have a job to do and we both know it,” I touched his nose in a playful manner and escaped before his grip around me tightened.

I took our secret passages to both our chambers and met Tara at the door.

“Your grace, your bath is ready and so are your clothes,” she bowed as she spoke.

“Lady, Trisha and Layla?” I asked her.

“They are both waiting for you in your chamber,” I walked into the bathroom first and had a really good steamy shower.

I have to look my best in the meeting with the delegates today. Liam has asked me to sit in for it because it's something I will be doing with the delegates' wives once I become queen.

I really don't know what the meeting is all about but these Delegates are from our cities and towns all over the Kingdom.

Their meeting takes place first before Delegates of our neighboring Kingdom. It's a lot of work but I believe that I am cut out for it.

I headed to my dressing room and my clothes were already laid out. Tara has been doing an amazing job as my head mistress.

She is dutiful and helpful every time. I don't know if it's because I saved her life but I doubt that. Her mother, Agatha was a great Head mistress for my Mom, I don't doubt Tara will be the same for me.

One look at the mirror I felt proud of the work my mistresses did. It was just a meeting but they made me simple but elegant.

I walked into my tea room in my chamber to meet with Trisha and Layla.

“What are you two discussing about?” I asked them. They both looked at each other and nodded.

“We want you to meet more people,” Layla said and I raised an eyebrow.

“Meet more people, what does that mean?” I asked her.

“Your wedding is fast approaching,” Trisha stated.

“I know that,” I said to her, giggling a little.

“Well, like the human world we have bridesmaids as well,” she said and I nodded.

“Huh? Is that so?” I asked.

“So, we need you to meet more ladies to add to the train,” she said and I nodded.

“Okay, I will think about it,” I said heading towards the door.

“Is that a positive thinking or a negative one?” Layla asked.

“What's that supposed to mean?” I asked, sounding a little bit pissed.

“I'm just saying, right now if you are not working, you are spending time with Liam not with your ladies,” she pointed at herself and Trisha.

“You need more ladies,” Trish said, nodding.

“Okay, fine. Both of you can start whatever you think you should do,” I said, rolling my eyes.

“Yes,” they both squeaked. They had just blackmailed me and it worked.

“And what about you two, it's not like I'm the only one spending time with my mate. You both look flushed all the time,"I said and they blushed shyly.

“Yeah, I thought as much. So don't come for me,” I said and they nodded.

“Your grace, the meeting has begun,” Akire said, entering my tea room.

“Let's go,” the meeting was happening in another building on the palace grounds. I decided to walk, not take a car ride.

It wasn't that far so, what the hell. The door of the meeting room opened and I walked in.

There was a really long table with chairs at both sides, I could see Liam sitting at the edge of the table.

“Please, welcome Duchess Brianna of Greenwich, my future wife and Luna,” they were a bit of applause and murmurs.

I spotted Duchess Mikeal, she smiled and waved to me. I smiled at her as well. From the looks of it, she was pregnant. Good for her.

As I got to Liam, he extended his hands and I took it. We faced the delegates and sat down. They all did apart from one.

“Is there a problem, Lord Glover?” Liam asked the man standing.

“Yes, your highness. I will not respect a human,” he said and everyone gasped.

“There isn't any human here,” Liam said, trying to control his temper.

“She's human and she doesn't belong here,” he pointed at me.

I thought I was done with all of that.
