Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Samara's POV

I stared at the large scar on my back that completely healed after a few months. My patience in this room is over and I can go back to my work.

Dwight makes my responsibilities even easier because of his expulsion of Costomo. A country's economy was growing fast because of what I implemented the last time we gathered before the accident. I improved the security of the country even though I was in that room recovering. Those illegal traders were evicted and the structures they built to build houses were demolished, then I ordered all the families who had left to return to live there for free.

Everything was falling into places and my families were very proud of me. Everything is getting back to normal and there's just one thing I haven't accomplished yet.

And that was marrying my Dwight

I smiled then immersed my body in the large bathtub in my bathroom. After a few minutes of soaking, I also went upstairs and put on my clothes. When I put my inner. I went out to fix it. I chose to wear a medieval dress with a red hood. I plan to go out of the palace for a tour.

I was walking down the hallway when I saw Dwight. He plastered his beautiful smile then he wave. I gave him a sweet smile then approached him. When I neared him, he kissed me in my forehead before putting his hand in my back, and gently caressed where my wound was covered with clothing.

"Are you okay?" There was concern in her voice

I nodded to him then hugged his side. My arms are around his waist. I heard the giggles of the women behind me which Lady Son immediately disobeyed. I just laughed.

"I would have liked to walk around outside the palace. It's been a long time since I saw the outside. I also want to know what else I should do to fix Ihmapuleya," I said.

He smiled at and nodded, "It's a great idea but I'm not sure if it's safe for you to go out. You're just fine," Dwight

"We had the guards and you. I know you won't let me down," he said with a wide smile

"A very sweet manipulation, my Queen Blue," he laughed

I frowned when he called me, "Queen Blue? Why do you call me blue again?" I asked him

"It's because your eyes were bright like skies and oceans, and I like nature. That's why I called you blue and now that you're a Queen, I will call you Queen blue. But because you are mine. I call you my queen blue, "

"I won't forget why, this time," I shook my head as I laughed

He took my hand and we left the palace together. Every servant or soldier we meet greets me after bowing as a sign of their respect. Two horses were released by our caretaker. I rode the white horse then put the hood on my head. Several soldiers also followed us and to my right was General William who would ensure my safety.

"Where's Zairo?" I asked General William

But even before he could answer, I heard Zairo's voice in the distance. He was riding a brown horse. I smiled at him. She stood behind Dwight with a miserly smile on her lips. They look fine. Soon the gate opened and we went out at the same time led by me and my fiancè, Dwight.

I felt so much excitement. It had been a long time since I had seen the outside except when I went to the fort of my enemies every night. I wanted to see my former university and home especially Dwight’s house where there were the falls that first brought me to him.

When we reached the road. Human eyes immediately focused on us. Soldiers quickly surrounded me. The horse saddles in the front and some in the rear. A warm smile plastered in my face. This is ....

This is what I wanted. To have a peaceful community where everyone is united, has respect for each other, and loves each other. They sighed as I removed the hood and smiled at them. I hear pure greetings every time we pass by and I only respond with a smile. It heals a wound better than lying there.

"They loved you my Queen blue," Dwight held my hand

"I know they're the same with you," My hand tightened on his grip then put it back on the horse's leash.

Some time we also wandered around with a voice rang around. I didn't immediately see who it was because five soldiers grabbed him and tried to pull him away. I wanted to stop them but I was shocked when I heard that voice.

"I need to talk to the Queen! —No! You don't understand — N-no! Your highness! Please just a few questions! I'm begging you,"

I barely stared at his face at an angle that he couldn’t see me. My suspicion is correct. Cassandra was in front of me now with Tiffany frowning at the soldier pulling on them.

The woman insulted me when I had no power. It's weird to hear her begging when I grew up seeing her being a bossy. I raised my hand and stopped my soldier. I saw his triumphant smile.

Does he know who I am?

"What do you want Cassandra?" I asked in a firm voice

I felt Dwight's gaze on me wondering. Cassandra, on the other hand, was stunned by her position. I heard Dwight scold me as I got off the horse but I looked at him then smiled.

"I'm fine," I mouthed

I turned around then stopped in front of him. He bowed slightly before speaking.

"Y-you knew me? H-how come—"

"Of course I knew you Cassandra," I removed the hood from my head and she sighed when she saw me, "Maybe you already know how I met you today?"

I gave him a smile that was unhappy. Still manly and gaping while staring at me. The one with him in the back was like a stump.

"N-No! You are not the queen! This is impossi—" he stopped shouting when a soldier's sword approached him.

"You're disgracing the Queen in public. You can be sentenced to death if the Queen says so," my soldier threatened.

I secretly smiled. He did train them well. I grabbed his arm and lowered it. Cassandra took a deep breath.

"She can say everything she wants because she is my citizen. She was just shocked that's why she said those words. I understand but when she becomes a threat to the kingdom and her fellow citizens. I can be the most irrational Queen when it comes to decision-making and believe me. I'll sentence her to death by rope, right away, "I got back on the horse and Dwight helped me with one of his hands so I could climb right away." Leave her alone. I still have a lot to tour, " utos ko

That soldier followed and drove him off the road so we could continue again. He was still there. I didn’t even bother to put the hood back on my head. There's no sense hiding my face anyways because I knew the majority knew me.

I stopped walking when we reached the sea. This is the end, "I want you to fix the collapsed walls that are a sign of our territory. If it can't be fixed right away. Someone can enter us without knowing it," I ordered.

"Your Majesty will follow," General William

I nodded then turned to Dwight, "I wish I could go back home especially where I saw you. Are you okay?" I will ask

"My Queen, you are welcome to my house anytime you want. If you wanted to go there. Then let's go," he kissed the back of my palm which warmed my cheek.

"Okay—"

"Dear queen !!"

We turned to see the man on horseback rushing toward us. It seems to have a message that is important to say. He stopped in front of us and bowed slightly.

"The King and Queen of the Philippines are telling you that he wants to see the prince and the queen of Ihmapuleya now that you are well," he said, still panting.

Dwight frowned, "Why did Papa call us?"

"They want to talk about marriage and you sitting on the throne,"
