Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 142 Home sweet home

More guards approached them instantly. They took one look at William and bowed at the waist before they let their group pass through the tall gates. Something about the air smelled so familiar, it made her stomach turn. She wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or bad thing yet.

“Your majesty, we didn’t expect you back! It’s good to see you!” They called as he passed them. Immediately she could see how more fitted and proper they were compared to the guards that had gone through hell with them. They all straightened themselves on their horses as if they realized it too. Perhaps a part of them had changed on the journey just as it had with Doris.

Light dustings of snow coated the cobblestone walkway. William directed all of their horses right to the front of the main steps. Servants hurried up to assist them as he slid off and helped Doris for the last time.

Their eyes lingered on each other for a moment as he set her down. Two beautiful ocean blue waves-they would haunt her every night before she fell asleep. His grip tightened around her waist before he finally let her go. Half of her heart dropped with him and she wished he would have held on for just a bit longer. Perhaps she might have been able to live in the moment forever if he did. 2

“Yes, I could say the same.” William muttered as he started to climb the steps.

“I’m sorry, sir. But I was told not to allow you inside the palace.” Howard said evenly. Those words hit all of them like a blow, but not nearly as hard as it hit William. What the hell was this man talking about?
