Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 196

Chapter 196 A call home

“Do you trust them?” Doris asked after they were finally alone in their tent. The lords had left not too long ago but she couldn’t help but wonder when they would arrive to the palace to speak to the king. “I’m not sure yet. I heard those two have strong opinions about how the kingdom should be run. My father always respected them enough not to replace them or toss them out.” William leaned back against the bed, she could see the exhaustion start to have its hold on him. “I want to keep them at arms length for the time being. I wouldn’t want them to think they have any sort of hold over me for speaking to my father. The last thing I need is for someone to think I owe them anything.” “I feel sorry for the person that tries to pull one over on you. I surely hope they’re not stupid enough to do something like that.” Doris said gently as she sat on the edge of the bed. She lightly ran her fingers through his hair and caressed his cheek.

You’ve spent so much time worrying over this.” William took her hand and kissed her palm. “I would think you’re the one that needs the resting.” He glanced down at her stomach. It was strange to think that soon she would have a large bump there. “How are you feeling?”

“I’ve been learning how to cope with the symptoms. I barely realize when I’m dizzy.” Doris tried to joke, but he only frowned. She hated when he looked at her like that, with so much regret on his face.

“I put too much stress on you. I shouldn’t have brought you alone with me, I should have made you go with Daniel.” He moved to sit up, but she pushed him back against the bed.

“I think that would have only caused more stress-not knowing if you were okay. Even if you sent me with Daniel, I believe things still would have gone the way they did. Martin would have found me eventually.” Doris brushed the hair from his forehead. She made a mental note to trim his hair once they got back. “Rest.” Doris stood, but he didn’t let go of her hand. He held on tight. “Thank you for staying with me.” He whispered. “I’m sorry I brought you into all of this.” “Don’t be sorry.” Doris leaned down to kiss him softly. She pulled away just enough to say, “I’ll always be here. Always.”

But she couldn’t. She knew exactly why she wouldn’t have been able to rest even if she wanted to-she was starving. She suddenly felt as if she could eat a whole table of food and still look for dessert. Doris went to look for Beth

around her finger while she bit her lip. She laughed at something he said and reached her hand out to touch his arm lightly. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Doris had never seen her friend like that before. Not

alright?” “Oh! Yes, I’m so sorry I disturbed you. I was just… going for a walk.” Doris stood and wiped the snow from her pants. Beth nervously glanced back at Enzo. “Please, don’t pay attention to me! I’m going to go get something to eat!” “Okay,” “I’ll come with you!” Beth said quickly, interrupting Enzo. She quickly linked her arm with Doris and walked them away as fast as

their own silence for several minutes until their bowls were clean. Beth tried to take her bowl and hurry away

don’t!” Beth said quickly. And just like that, her cheeks turned bright red

“And handsome…”

Beth snapped her lips shut and glared at Doris. “He’s a rogue. You know how I feel about them. I could never-never like one in that way.”
