Chapter 25

A Few days later

Queen Blair

She was sitting in her chair near her window; she looked at the outside of her window while rubbing her stomach; it was big; of course, she was eight months pregnant. With each day that passes, she's close to having her beautiful baby; she was reading the letter that she got from her sister Genevieve.

She was worried for her and Derek and her father; why would someone try to kill him? She was also happy to hear that Derek and Genevieve were expecting their first; they deserve a little happiness after all that they've been through, especially since the attack in Glidonia.

She knew if she was Genevieve, she too would worry for her husband today; she's like Genevieve; she wouldn't know what to do if she lost her husband, king Brayan.

She would like to go visit them, but she knew, for one thing, her husband wouldn't let her go because she was two months to her due date and the road there wasn't too safe.

Especially since the launch attack that Glidonia has, he won't let her go for her safety and the baby's; she knew her husband loved her very much and was protective of her and didn't complain much since he was always there for her.

She didn't worry much about Genevieve because she knew that she had Derek with her, and he loved her and will always protect her no matter what happened.

She heard a knock at the door, she turned around to see who it was, it was one of the guards.

"Your highness, your sister queen Delia is here. Shall I send her in?" asked the guard as she seemed surprised.

"Yes, please." She said as she wondered what her sister Delia was doing here. She didn't even send me a letter telling me she was coming. I hope nothing is wrong with her kingdom too.

"Oh, Delia," she said as she walked up towards her with her big tummy; she knew she wasn't in the same condition; she was eight months pregnant and couldn't even manage the stairs since she quickly got tired.

"Hi Blair, wow! I can see what my brother-in-law was talking about. Blair, you really look even beautiful with that cute tummy you have." Said Delia as they ended their hug, and then she started rubbing her tummy.

"What brings you here, Delia?" she asked her.

"Well… you see, Blair, I came from my kingdom to talk to you about our home in Glidonia. I'm sure you know it was under attack, and I can't just sit at my palace doing nothing, although Edmond said we'll send in men to help. I still feel useless; as princesses of Glidonia, we should do what we can and join in alliances to help our kingdom win this battle and help Courtney, too." she said as Blair seemed confused.

"Courtney? What's wrong with Courtney?!" said Blair worried for her sister; next to Ashlyn, she's the second one that she would always hang around with.

"Calm down, Blair; it's not healthy for you to worry, especially in your condition." Said, Delia

"It's her husband, king Levi; he tried to kill our father at the wedding," said Delia.

"What? Are you sure, Delia?" she asked, worried.

"Well, positive, positive, no, but Genevieve sends me a letter telling me that she suspected it, and if he was capable of doing that, I wouldn't doubt that he killed his own father too. Then try to frame Derek by saying that he's the one who did it; he still believes our father is dead, so that can be used for us as an advantage." He said as Blair couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Genevieve also says that it's been at least a month since she heard from Courtney and Kathleen." She said.

"Kathleen? What happened to her?!" said Blair worried.

"I guess they didn't tell you everything because of your state right now; I'm sorry, Blair, I should have asked Edmond if you knew about this before I started talking." Said Delia.

"No, you're doing the right thing. I hate it when people lie to me, even though it's for a good cause. I still don't like people lying to me." she said as Delia signed.

"On the day of the wedding, during the attack, someone snapped. Kathleen, Genevieve, and Derek have everybody in the kingdom looking for her. But still today, we haven't heard anything from her, but I have my thought's that I wouldn't be surprised if Levi was behind that too." Said Delia.

"Wow, poor Genevieve and Derek, they're going through a lot right now; at least they'll have some happiness soon," added Blair as Delia looked confused.

"What do you mean? I don't understand?" said Delia.

"Didn't you hear the news yet? Delia, Genevieve, and Derek are expecting; soon; they'll be parents in a few months." Said Blair.

"That's wonderful," said Delia; she was happy for her sister but was also sad; she and her husband had been trying for a while but still nothing.

"Come on, Delia, I'll show you to your room later when my husband returns from his meetings; well, talk about this with him." Said Blair as she took Delia to her room and let her fresh up.

When Delia entered, she sat down at the desk, took out a piece of paper, and started writing a letter to her husband saying that she had made it here unharmed.

She was going to wait till king Brayan could talk; she promised herself that she would help her home in Glidonia and make her kingdom proud.
