Chapter 14

Heffun twirled to face the king, her eyes sending daggers his way. “How could you defy me this way?” she blared.

She had gone to see about Ariella’s welfare some time after the incident. When she did not find the princess in her chambers, she inquired of her whereabouts. The attendant informed her about the meeting with the king after which Ariella returned to change, and then left Nabalar in the war craft. She was angry. Ariella should be safe inside the palace where she belonged.

Heffun’s primary concern was that the one to save their planet was safe. Ariella was the promised one and she could be with child. Sending her off to fight the Xygor prince was reckless. She needed to protect her for the sake of Nabalar.

“Defy you?” Volnomy’s voice echoed her own harshness. “Have you forgotten who is king? I have given you too much elbow room it seems.”

She stared at him in wide-eyed disbelief. “What are you saying?” she whispered. “Am I not your queen?”

“Yes, you are my queen and I value your decisions. I’ve allowed you to make many. However, there comes a time when the king must stand his ground.”

“To send Ariella to the clutches of the Xygor prince? Was this your plan from the beginning?”

The king looked frustrated at her words and closed his eyes. “Heffun, have you gone mad? Why would I send Ariella to the Xygor prince?”

“You know why, because I failed as your queen. I could not save our people!”

The king’s eyes snapped opened and his voice softened. “How could you say that? You have not failed as my queen or as the mother of this planet.”

“I failed, and that is the reason for this catastrophe that has borne down upon us!”

“You bore the heir for this planet and he will save us along with our daughter.”

“Bore a son…a little too late,” she retorted and walked to the window.

Her king came up behind her and pulled her close. “You have not failed. Have you not seen the promise? Have you not seen the power within your son?”

“Please, my king, we must save our children. For Ariella is now our child. She must return to Nabalar where it is safe!”

“She is also my daughter and I believe she will save our son, Mirsux,” the king’s nod was reassuring.

“Then send the royal guards. Do this for your queen?” she gave him a coy smile and he nodded.

She hugged him, drawing from his strength. Never had the Nabalar queen felt fearful about the future until now. With what had happened in the past thirty Nabalar years, she had held strong. Now she felt that she might lose the only one who could redeem them of their sins.

She closed her eyes and took strength from the king she’d loved since childhood. They had been betrothed at birth and she loved him knowing she would one day be his queen.

She felt that she had failed when she could not bear him children. She remembered it well.
