Are you trying to murder your husband?
~
After everything is done, her maids help her take a bath in a water filled with fragrances and after that she let them put on the wedding dress for her without a word throughout.
Davina gives some instructions to the servants and everyone comes out to watch her leave in the carriage that has come to take her.
She removes a small necklace around her neck and gives it to Louis then whispers to him to keep it safe before finally setting out to the palace.
The whole journey is so cold and silent that one might have misinterpreted the occasion if not for the decorations of the carriage and the fancy dress worn by everyone.
Davina arrive at the palace and she is lead into a big hall where the King is dressed in a white robe and standing at the altar waiting for her.
The long snow gown she wore fit perfectly with her beautiful soft skin and her light red hair compliment that dress well.
She is walked in by one of the officials and joins the King at the altar then they start the necessary rituals which took more than an hour.
Davina bows down to the King for the utmost time and the final part soon begin as Davina kneel in front of the King to be crowned.
Edgar lifts her veil and comes in close contact with her for the first time in eight years
He stare at her cold and delicate eyes definitely mesmerized by her beauty for a few second before he place the crown on her head declaring her as the new Queen while others cheer and bow to her for the first time as Queen Davina.
Davina is led away to the King's chambers where she is to wait till the arrival of the King to consummate their marriage and King Edgar stayed to drink with the guest and everyone for sometimes before he also decide to leave and let Steve take care of the rest.
Edgar walks alone to his chambers deliberating within himself if he should send Davina back to her palace like he did with the other Queens or not.
He decides not to when he got to door of his bedroom thinking of how bad it will be for her after everything that has happened.
Edgar opens the door and walk in as quietly as possible not to get her attention.
Davina is sitting on one of the chairs prepared for both of them when she heard his footsteps, her veil has been removed but the crown is still on her head and her eyes are closed.
Edgar is once again stunned when he looks at her elegant appearance and his moody expression softens.
Davina has always been named as the number beauty in the whole country and every lady envies her beauty and wealthy status
It is said that she got the looks from her mother and their words are not far from the truth, she has grown into such a beautiful lady
He realized that she has changed so much from the girl he use to know.
Edgar step further into the room and stood in front of her, even with her eyes closed he could feel that she is nervous and it look similar to how her face was the first time he saw her when they were little; she also has a similar expression on her face.
Davina opened her eyes and is startled not excepting him to return so soon.
She stood to her feet in frightened as she was just rehearsing how to carry out her plan on him.
She might have been friends with him when they were little but this is definitely not the Edgar she runs after back then.
"Your majesty!" She stuttered as Edgar stares at her gently, he could see panic in her eyes and it bothers him.
He doesn't know why he doesn't want her to fear him like the others but he definitely don't want to scare her like she is now.
The both of them looked at each other not saying anything for a few seconds and only the faint sound of music from the ongoing party could be heard.
"Sit down" Edgar breaks the silent and Davina slowly complies then he sat next to her and pours himself a glass of water.
The look of fear on Davina's face changes to anger as he drinks the wine and she regains her composure now that he is not staring at her reminding herself of her plans tonight.
She thought about poisoning him and watches him die slowly but that would have been easy so she did not.
After witnessing the death of her father she has absolutely no will to live as the wife of the man responsible for that, with the thought to revenge her father in mind, Davina has endured getting married and bowing to him.
Davina is sure that either he or his consort is responsible for the death of the late Queens and they are probably planning to get rid of her also to make her the Queen
She felt the dagger she hide in her clothes before leaving her mansion and held it closely to reassure herself aboutexecuting her plan.
Davina knows this might cause a lot of damage but she is determined to avenge her father's death and probably the late Queens also.
King Edgar notice she is deep in thought about something and place the glass back on the table noisily to call her attention then he stood up to get undress.
Since he has decided not to send her back to her room, he wants to have a good night rest and let her stay in his room till daybreak so other don't gossip
Davina also stood up the intimidating feeling she felt earlier returns to her.
Not knowing what to do first, she assume he wants her to help me undress so she move closer to him to help him take off his clothes like Maria told her the night before
Edgar turn around when he notice a small tiny finger trying to reach his shoulders and stare down at her
"Do you know how?" Edgar asked seeing how nervous she is and held her hand.
His hand feels so cold that Davina snatch her hand away quickly and raised her head to look at him because she is one feet shorter than him
"I don't" she replied
Edgar just turn away from her to continue removing his clothes displeased with how she pull away like he is some kind of virus.
He finishes undressing leaving just a tiny see through cloth on his body which reveals the upper part of his chest and turn to her again
Davina immediately turns her eyes away seeing his exposed body and cough lightly
"Are you not going to undress?" He asked her finding her shyness somewhat interesting.
He is still amazed to see another side of the fearless and domineering Davina Gregorio, apart from being the most beautiful; everyone also believes that she is the most elegant lady of her generation
Davina turn to him again and meet with his eyes staring down at her, her eyes shift down to his bare chest and turned her eyes away again.
"Does he really want to consummate the night with me? How dare him think about it after what happened?" Davina thought angrily and remove her earrings slowly placing them on the table while calculating the right time for her to carry out her plans.
"Why am I acting so nervous in front of him?" Davina cautions herself and felt a hand on her head removing her crown.
"No one is allowed to touch this crown on your head except you and me, also you don't have to wear it except during official occasion" he told her and places it on a table.
She except him to turn around and look away so she can undress but he did not and keep looking at her, Edgar also wonder what is taking her so long.
"You need to turn around so I can put off my clothes" she spell it out to him and Edgar looks at her oddly before walking away to lie down on the huge bed.
He lies down and turns his face to the other side understanding that she doesn't want him to look at her but he is her husband.
Every lady in the palace will kill just to make him look at their body not to talk sleeping with him in the same room.
King Edgar could feel her undressing and almost turn around to look but did not, it's not like he hasn't seen a woman's nakedness before.
He has seen Valerie a couple of times but wasn't interested in her body and has only slept with her once since they got married
His mind jolted back to a time when he touched Davina's bosom by accident when they were kids and how she slapped him hard across the face.
King Edgar wonder why he is reminiscing on this old memories when heard her movement behind him, he turned to face her but is faced with a dagger aimed at his chest
He is quick to hold her arm and stop her before it pierce his chest.
Edgar knows that she surely abhor some hates because of what happened but didn't expect her to be bold enough to kill him, at least not on their wedding night.
This must be her reason for deciding to get married to him
"Are you trying to murder your husband?!" He queried and Davina stare at him viciously
"You should have thought about that before killing my father" she retort determinedly and manage retract her hand from his hold when he is distracted
Davina thrust the knife into his chest with full force thinking he will dodge her attack but he didn't move away and hold the knife to his chest instead.
"You..." She muttered shocked and move her hand away instantly leaving the dagger on his body.
Blood ooze out of his chest and Edgar pull out the dagger with a little difficulty and throws it away
"You missed your target" he told her and held his chest firmly to prevent the blood.
Davina is petrified to see so much blood and suddenly feels sickening, she was so nervous that she stabs just below his heart instead.
Despite the pain he is in, Edgar manages to pull Davina down to the bed with him and trap her under him.
She couldn't fight back due to the shock from what just happened and only come back to her senses when she is already under him but determined not to let him have his way.
"I will never let you have my body" she spit in his face
"You idiot" Edgar mouthed and held her face with his blood stained hand then he slowly move his mouth to her neck, she trembled and closed her eyes horrified but then he collapsed on her neck.
Davina fling her eyes opened when she didn't hear any movement from him but an abnormal breathing.
She struggles to push him off her body and when she succeeds, she stood up from the bed and ran out of the room.
Davina heard Steve's voice and another person who are walking towards the bedroom so she hurried away
She breathes heavily and only stops when she gets to her own quarters and closes the door after her.
Davina feels the blood on her neck and see that her clothes is also stained, she bend down trembling and gather some courage after a few minutesbefore standing up to clean up and change her clothes then her maids arrive
The both of them were away at the kitchen as it is wrong to stay at the King's door while he is inside with his wife and only return when Dave came to them
They are shocked to see the blood on her wedding dress which is now lying on the floor, they move closer to her scared that something has happened to her.
"Your Majesty what happened" June queries checking her body for any injuries but finds none.
"I just saw my period" she lied to them but the two are no fool, they could tell that this much blood is definitely not from her period but they choose to remain silent and not ask anything further
"We will take care of it" Arya said and pick up the cloth from the floor while June goes out to get some water for her…
