Hey guys! Oh my...it has been so long since I updated and I apologize. College is super busy and I've been having writers block. I'm still suffering from it but couldn't wait any longer to update so I'm sorry if it's a terrible chapter. There is some information spilled tho...so I hope it's sorta exciting.
Thank you to everyone who reviews, reads, likes, follows, or all the above. I love the support.
Enjoy!
"Your father?" Belle repeated this question with the utmost disgust. "But he was gone...you exiled him from the kingdom."
"In all honesty Belle, I should have killed him when I had the chance."
Belle choked on her breath. "No..it's a good thing you didn't. You can't kill your own father." Adam crossed his arms over his broad chest. "Belle." He pauses, not sure how to form the words. "He's declared war on the kingdom."
She just stared at him with piercing eyes. "What does that mean?"
She knew exactly what it meant but it didn't make any logical sense.
How did King Daniel find another kingdom to randomly just be put in charge there?
"Adam...he just found another kingdom to rule?"
"I know how it sounds Belle but reading over these hundreds of documents...it seems like he took over the King that already ruled there. He was a terrible father and a terrible person but he has a brilliant way of getting what he wants."
Belle sits back down on the loveseat. "So he wants to take over this kingdom as well...get his revenge."
"Exactly." Adam sits next to her. "I'll figure out a plan Belle. I'll send a notice to the village. Get people to fight."
"You're not gonna fight are you?" He shakes his head and can't help but smile. "Don't worry, I won't be fighting physically, no." She sighs in relief.
"Good."
"I'm sorry I haven't been spending a lot of time with you and the kids." He brushes some of the hair off of her face. "I understand why now, I just wish you told me what was going on." She looks at him sadly.
"I'm done with this paperwork for now. I wanna spend some quality time with my wife tonight." She bites her lip, flashing a grin at him. "Yes...please do come to bed."
"Certainly your highness." Adam picks her up bridal style and carries her to bed.

"Gather the men now! I want a war to happen, not some decent tea party!"
King Daniel grunts as he slams down a book onto the table before him. His secondhand runs out of the room quickly.
"For god sakes, why is it so hard to start a god damn war?" He mutters to himself.
It will all be worth it, in due time..the revenge and the heir.
"They have a second child now. A boy." He laughs to himself with glee.
"Two kinds of revenge. A stolen heir and a stolen kingdom."
Two birds with one stone.
