Chapter 193: wounded

Katherine POV

In the whole journey in carriage, only those words keep moving in my mind. 'Have a child with his majesty.' but how!

Charles did not even look at me. My eyes fell on my reflection on the mirror of the carriage. Though the youngest, I have been entitled as one of the most beautiful girls in my empire. But here since i did not look like them, i was not even average anymore.

My hands touched my cheeks that always have a rosy hue on it. And my hairs that were longer than my hips, would I be able to convince him to spend a night with me, and even if I would, would it be worth it!!

"But as the duchess said, what choice do i have!!"

"Your majesty, we are here."

I nodded as Sir Richard forwarded a hand as he walked towards the door of the carriage. His hand still had the bandage wrapped in it.

I looked at the hand coldly and held the door tightly as I climbed down.

He looked at me confused but took his hand back.

I walked towards my chamber without waiting for him or turning back but I could hear his footsteps. Why did he not leave! Could he not see I did not want him around.

"Your majesty" 

My steps halted but I did not turn back.

"Are you okay? Your majesty"

'Why do you care! Why did you even ask? Could you even do anything if i say i am not'

"What would happen to me, Sir Richard. I am just tired and want to take a rest.'

"Ah, yes, I apologise, your majesty." he added feebly as his steps halted at my door where we always got separated.

"I want to take the best fragrance bath" I ordered the staff who nodded and did the preparation.

"Go and send a message to his majesty, that i have demanded for an audience in my chamber"

"Yes, your majesty" 

Understanding my intentions they did their best to massage me and decorate me. My whole body was smelling more than the most fragrant flower. My clothes were a red flimsy gown and my hairs were left wet and open.

They did their best to make me desirable as I sat on the chair looking at my reflection in the mirror.

"Your majesty, his majesty is here asking for the audience."

"Let him in, and leave all of you" 

He entered with a smile in the chamber but when his eyes met mine, the smile turned stiff.

I once imagined that one day I would sleep with him, but this wasn't what I expected at all.

When I opened my eyes and looked at him, his expression was so cold that I felt heartbroken.

I closed my eyes again because I couldn't look at his eyes without any emotions.

But I comforted myself, thinking, 'Even if he is cold right now, he could get better over time. If he keeps making love to me like this, he will take care of me even if he is destitute of human feelings.'

With that thought I walked towards him as he stood there coldly as if he was disgusted at me to even take a step forward towards me.

"Katherine, how was your trip?"

I gulped as I summoned all my courage and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

"My trip was good, your majesty. But i have not called you to discuss that with me" i said as i seductively moved forward.

He was looking at me with cold eyes that he had never shown to me and it was making me feel like I was a woman who was trying to sell herself.

Suddenly I felt hatred for my own body as I continued looking at his eyes. 

"Your majesty, you must be very tired, let me serve you tonight." i said as i tried to move my hands towards the button of his shirt.

"Katherine, you are not in your senses" he said finally as he held my hand tightly which was still on the buttons of his shirt.

"Charles. I am your wife"

"Yes, you are, so you are demanding the rights of a wife. Huh. Katherine??" he said but his voice was filled with coldness and poison.

He slipped his hand on my waist and drew me closer but it was rough and strong. His hands slipped under my gown and I closed my eyes. He did not even care to take me towards the bed or to do it even a bit gently as his calloused hands moved over the skin on my waist.

It hurts and I felt distressed thinking that he would make love to me without any consideration of my feelings, but I put up with it, biting my lip. I just accepted him meekly.

But before anything could happen further the door swung open with a loud noise.

I opened my eyes in confusion and saw Rosemund standing there.

She was very confused. Looking at him holding me, she began to get angry and shouted, "Charles, what are you doing now?"

"Rose, I'm just" Embarrassed by her sharp voice, he hurriedly responded, but she cut him off and said with a trembling voice, "How can you do this to me? "

"No, don't misunderstand. Rose! Wait a minute!" he shouted in panic, as he looked at her face that was filled with hatred and disgust.

"Ouch!" she yelled and left.

As she, staring at him in anger, quickly turned around and left the bedroom, he moved, very much embarrassed, forgetting he was holding me, who had lost balance, ran behind her.

I could hardly breathe. I felt I bumped into something, but I was hurt so much that I couldn't breathe. I curled up a lot but felt a sharp pain in my legs. I moaned unconsciously.

But that pain was nothing in front of the wound that were given to me by his cold reaction and her preferences in his life over me.
