palace fountain

He really is a beast, I am getting away from him bit by bit, heartbroken. Why am I so stupid, tears falling through my face...

I started to run away from him, putting my hand in my forehead I turn at him "You can find the King in his study room , but I don't think he will be much of a help"

What does he want from me, to become his woman of lust like all those woman he had

"Don't, do not leave, not today" I didn't want him to leave, I didn't want him to go away "Please enlighten me, I want to know why, why no woman has captured your heart and soul." my blood started to rush through my veins

"I am sorry about your family, I know how you feel about it, and I am sorry how life decided to treat you, but you can change it, if you have faith in it"

I felt sorry for him, he had survived a lot of pain, and he had no strength to believe in Love anymore...

"What can I do to help" it is unbelievable that a man in such a short time to make me care about him and do everything to help him.

I approach him, my heart didn't want to be so far from his, even that I knew deep down that He will be the death of me

I look at his hands, taking one hand, I kiss it "Have faith in yourself, maybe one day you will find the one" then I close my eyes in pain.

After his words, I felt my body wanting him, I hug my self "Don't push me away"
but then I couldn't do whatever his women did for him, I am a princess and I wasn't allowed to do what other girls did.

"I don't know what to do, and it is all your fault" wiping my tears.

I was caught in the middle of having him and not possible of having him, he wanted something I wasn't able to give.

"Yes I do feel something about you, I do, but why would I act upon it, when I see nothing in return" my muscles and bones clashing within me.

"Then I shall leave you" putting both of my hands in my face, thinking for a second I came into my senses "Oh, no you should go, you should be the one to go not me, where would I go, I am so stupid" taking a breath, and looking at him in that position, I am possessed by his aura.

I was begging him to go, but I was wishing him to stay, what a mysterious man!

And what mysterious things he was doing to me physically and mentally.

I said nothing, I just watched him fade away into the sun's light.

Closing into my self I whisper "God, tear my heart out from my body... and I will take this wings and fly away"

My ladies in waiting told me Daniel was here at Bavaria at the same place we met, I was so excited to see him again my heart was beating really fast.

Then I see him "Daniel" slowly I start to approach him, not knowing what to do, biting my lower lip I smile at him very happy.

Isabella needed some air and returned to the fountain splashing her face with water admiring the reflection of the night in the ripple of the water

Richard left the Hall for a while. He knew I would have found Isabella at the fountain and she was there, indeed. He reached her with silent steps

I knew you were here. Are you alright?

He asked, staring at landscape around them

Isabella nodded feeling not her perky self.

"I needed air my Richard"

That was a lie the story of Inge had an affect on her it made her sad and it was familiar to the situation she was in. He couldn't hear or see her tears but an inch of regret seeped through her mind.

"Richard I don't want anything to happen to you I mean if anything did happen then I would regret it as you would never live to see your child born like the king of Tuscany I would be heartbroken destroyed yet you are not even mine"

Isabella grabbed onto his arm and forced him to look at her.

"Promise me you will not go into war until you're heir is born I am not asking for much but stay safe"

Richard felt surprised when she grabbed him suddenly. But seeing how much she cared for him, he smiled and hold her cheek in his hand

I promise, Isabella. But why these thoughts are coming in your mind? My country is in peace. Why something should happen to me?

He said whispering with his usual warm, deep voice

Isabella gulped trying to explain her reaction

"I had a lovely talk with Inge and it suddenly dawned on me that we are both in the same situation being a mistress to a king and carrying him a babe"

Isabella searched Richard face for some recognition and understanding but she felt completely alone in this moment

Richard sighed and took a place next to her

Yes, I know her story. But Inge has been unlucky. And plus, it seemed that the father of her child never loved her. You can't say the same thing about me, Isabella..

He whispered meaning deeply his words

Isabella looked at him briefly

"Yes I know you love me in a different way that you love you're wife but I don't know how you love me. Hearing her story hit a cord with me"
