THE UNEXPECTED WIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30

Chapter 29: ANNA’S FEAR (1)
The night had surfaced, and Anna woke up from her slumber.
Stretching hard, she yawned. She loved the texture of the bed on her skin.
” You really are enjoying a lot, sister Enya.” She tapped her hands on the bed as she said that, before making her way out of it.
She glared around the fine decorated room, admiring its beauty.
She loved the way the breeze blew on her skin, sending cold air to her body.
” You should be here by now.” She said, hoping for Lord Rodriguez to show up this instant.
” Joana?” She called, and just as usual, Joana rushed in not wasting a second.
” Yes, My Lady. ” She answered with a bow.
” I need a cold shower, please get my water ready.” She requested.
” I will do that immediately. ” She went to the bathroom to get her water ready.
” Would you mind for anything tonight? ” Joana asked as soon as she was done.
” Yes, of course. I am starving.”
” How do you feel?”
” I feel great, why did you ask?” She asked back.
” You complained about feeling weak and tired after you had eaten your lunch, I was just being concerned if you feel okay now. ”
” Yes, of course, I am. Thank you. ”
” Anytime. Your water is ready. ” She informed.

While Anna bathed, she sat in the tub, rubbing the water against her skin before applying soap on it.
She sank her long hair into the water, massaging every sides of her scalp.
She was done bathing, she took the towel, tying it around her chest.
Water droplets rolled out of her body as she walked out of the bathroom to the bed room.
She searched for one of Enya’s dress, a smile played on her face as she did so.
Then she took the night dress, the same one Enya wore on the night they made love.
She dropped it on the bed, first rubbing oil on her skin. She rubbed oil on her hair too, then combing it.
She stared at herself at the mirror while she dressed up, applying a little of her red lipstick.
” Joana.” She called again.
Joana walked in, ” My Lady?”
” What’s taking too long for the dinner?” She questioned.
” Forgive me, Your Highness, the food isn’t ready yet. ” She apologized.
” What?! ” She yanked. ” Why would dinner not he ready by this time? What if His Majesty returns now and request for something to eat, is this what you will tell him? ”
” I… I will talk to the cook to quicken up. ”
” Better. Now go. ” Joana left the room instantly.
She has never seen the Queen in such mood like today. And she wouldn’t blame her either, the cook has been in a deep conversation with the other chefs when she came to check.
” What is keeping you all waiting, the queen is annoyed at the delay.” Joana informed. ” You must hurry up, His Majesty might probably be on his way now and he won’t love to hear such a story. ”
” Yes, ma’am. ” They said in unison.
” Mrs Carolina? ” She called.
” Yes, Miss.”
” Uhm.. nothing. Nevermind. You can continue your work.”
Joana didn’t return back to the room until she made sure they were done cooking the dish which didn’t take up to ten minutes.
Joana quickly went to Lady Enya’s room to serve her her meal.
” Is the King back?” She asked.
” I doubt.”
” What is taking him too long? ”
” Do not worry about him, I know His Majesty is a strong and brave king, he will take care of himself. ”
” I know, I am only worried about the dark. My sister must have known about his travel to Pendamour, who knows what she may be up to on his return.
I know my husband is strong, but he is alone while my sister isn’t. She practices wtchcraft. ”
” Don’t worry, my lady, the gods will surely protect him from all evils.”
” Amen.” She concluded the prayer.

After Anna had finished eating, she was informed about the King’s return.
She picked a royal robes from the wardrobe, tying it around her body.
She laid with one side of her body, her hand resting on one hand as she waited for him to show up.
” His Majesty is making his way to the chamber.” Joana informed.
” Is he? ”
She nodded her head.
Anna felt her heart tremble, as she patiently waited for him to show up.
She was anticipating what he’d look like, how it will feel to lay on the same bed with him.
When the door opened, and he finally entered, her heart skipped a beat as if she has been waiting for years to see his face.
” My Lord.” She got down from the bed, walking to him. ” How was your journey? ” She asked.
” Very well. ”
She helped him take of his shirt, spreading it on the hanger stand. ” How did it go? What did mother and father say about the case? ”
” They are working on it. But for the meantime, they are after the witch who helped your sister. ”
She faked a smile, ” I’m happy they are doing some thing about it. How is my little sister, Arwen?”
” She is fine, she sends her greetings to you. ” She nods gently.
Anna felt anger deep inside her. She knew it was Arwen’s plan that they are after the wtch.
She was scared the witch will have to expose her plans if they eventually find her.
Oh, have Arwen told them about her plans with the wtch? The part where she would take the same appearance with Enya?
” Are you hungry? I will send the maids to get you something to eat.”
” No, I’m not hungry. ”
” Are you sure? ”
” Your mother served me food before I left. I just want to sleep, that’s all. ”

~ THAT MORNING AT PENDAMOUR ~
” I am so sorry for the disturbance caused by one of my daughters. I have never thought of some thing so serious like this to ever happen. Please, accept my apology.”
” You are not my problem, King Neheb, your daughter is. And for the sake of our relationship, I will do no harm to her.
She has gone too far in her acts, likewise she has threatened my wife. And anyone who threatens my wife, threatens me too.
Like you have said, I do accept your apology but I will not be stopped if she ever lays her hand on my wife. I will not hesitate to have her put to death.” He warned.
” I understand. I have already send some of my armies after the wtch, Arwen told us that Anna had requested for powers from wtchcraft.
We will try as much as possible to see that we get to the bottom of this before some thing worster happens.” Neheb explained.
” Better.”
As they kept discussing, Arwen walked in. ” Greetings.” She bowed.
” What is it?” King Neheb asked.
” The wtch is nowhere to be found. We have searched around the territory but yet, we could not find her.
I think she has flee from the kingdom. She must have known we were coming after her. ”
” Tell the armies to quit the search. Tonight, they will be leaving to Brok as spies. ” He sighed. ” I believe we will find both she and Anna.”
” I will do that immediately.” Turns to Lord Rodriguez, ” How is my sister?” She asked.
” She is fine.”
She smiled satisfied. ” Tell her I am okay, and do send my greetings to her.”
” I will.” She bowed again, exiting the room.
