Breaking Silence

Chapter Six

The queen was seated in her study with her head resting on her desk. Even though her husband could be returning any second now, there were many lingering thoughts in her head.

Speaking with the Moon Goddess had done her no good seeing as the Goddess hadn't responded. Maybe she was just over thinking things and getting worried for nothing.

Lifting her head up, she put a smile on her face and got up. Taking in a deep breath, she decided that she was being silly and was now ready to go wait for her husband's arrival.

It had been a too long since he was away and he was finally returning home to his wife and children.

In the castle halls, princess Aracel was trying to calm her sister down but was also having a hard time containing her own excitement in. The two both looked as if they would shoot through the ceiling any second.

One princess was all dressed proper and spinning around in circles, while the other was dressed as a boy and was hopping about.

Their excitement and joy livened up the castle which had been very dull these past few months. It was a great change and also improved everyone's mood.

The castle was no longer dull and it was once again a great environment to live in.

"The king and prince has arrived," a guard informed them as both girls were now racing outside to meet their father.

Princess Aracel was the first one to get outside and run into her father's open arms. Soon, they were joined by princess Nubia and their brother. It was a lovely family reunion, after all, they could only depend on one another.

"Omirion!" Princess Aracel said, before she gave her brother a tight hug as the two smiled at one another. Somehow, he looked nothing like the rest of his family.

Prince Omirion had shining platinum hair and wild green eyes. He was a bit taller than his father and a little more muscular as well. He was also very playful whenever he was with his sister and the two would often cause a lot of trouble around the castle.

They were known as the two troublemakers.

They gave the guards a very hard time when they tried to do their jobs and played many pranks on the unsuspecting maids, but that all changed when he began travelling with the King.

Since he was no longer there, princess Aracel had to find other means of fun which soon became difficult with all of her lessons. Even the maids missed his pranks and the guards missed chasing after him.

Now that he was back, maybe the castle would return back to how it was but bad times were quickly approaching.

"You have to tell me about your travels," princess Aracel said excitedly while practically dragging her brother away. One would have never guessed the two were actually brother and sister by their appearances.

Princess Nubia had grabbed her father's hand and began pulling him inside the castle. The aroma of the scrumptious food that was being prepared by the cook filled the hallway.

"Go meet your brother and sister darling, I have some news to tell your mother," the King said as Nubia giggled before bouncing off.

He had been gone for quite some time gathering as much information as he could. There wasn't much to learn except that there may be a group of rebellious wolves in the hiding.

Heading straight to his room, he entered it to find his wife seated near the window. A faint smile on her lips and a faraway look in her gorgeous blue eyes.

"Now where is my beautiful queen?" He asked, a playfulness in his tone as he approached her.

She let out a soft giggle before getting up and wrapping her arms around him and giving him a passionate kiss. "She is right here," she responded before giving him another kiss.

Swooping her off her feet, he went took a seat on the bed with her in his lap. He had missed holding his queen in his arms and was glad to be with her.

"There have been news of a growing rebellion group," he said softly as he rested his head in the crook of her neck.

Queen Alejandra let out a sigh as she twirled one of his curls in her finger. "I know," she said softly, remembering one of her recent visions. Maybe it had been a warning from the Moon Goddess.

"I think that the leader is actually in this castle but I'm not sure as to who they are," she voiced out her opinions before proceeding to tell him all about her vision.

The King was silent for a while before he nodded. "Maybe you should try reaching out to the Goddess again or she will probably tell you when she think is the right time."

"I have a strange feeling about this," the queen said quietly, worry clear in her words.

"Everything will be alright," the king comforted her as he placed a short kiss on her forehead. "Why don't we go join the others right now and because that food smell has been in my nose for too long."

The two chuckled before getting up and walked out side by side. Everything seemed so wonderful right now but the queen couldn't help think about the rebellion.

She didn't like idea that the leader of the rebellion could possibly be near her and her family at this moment and they didn't even know it.

There was something about this entire situation that just didn't make any sense to her. Who could this person be and what was their motive? She so badly wanted to know the answers.

She was just hoping that the Moon Goddess kept her promise to keep her family safe as long as they did what they were destined to do and not try to change their fates.

It was all up the Goddess right now.
