Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Something blooms

William called his men in the tent after Doris had left. She sat by the open fire and tried to embrace its warmth. Part of her wanted to seek out Beth and spill out all of her thoughts, but a bigger part wanted to wait for William to come out. No matter how long that might take. Almost an hour had passed before his guards exited the tent. Many went straight for their horses and took off through the trees without a single glance back. Her heart rate quickened, were they off to end the war? Was the blood lust finally coming to an end?

Enzo caught her eye and nodded at her before he went to talk to the rogues that hovered nearby. It was like weight lifted off her chest to know that the war was finally being called off. She silently prayed that this would be the end of unnecessary deaths for the kingdom. If William was crowned king, it could be a new start for so many lives. He didn’t realize how much hope his leadership could bring for his people. 6 William exited the tent when everyone else seemed to be gone from it. He headed straight for her without lifting his gaze. As if he knew exactly where she would be. It felt like her heart tugged him closer to her as if there was an invisible string that connected them.

Doris moved over a little when he seated himself. He leaned forward and stared at the fire that was growing dim before them. “It should all be over within the next few hours. I ordered my army to step back and to return to the palace to recover.” Doris gripped his hand. He squeezed it tightly. “I’m proud of you. You fought for what you believe in.” “My father still has the right to deny me the crown. As you said, he might see me as a traitor for all of this. He knows I would never be a king like he was-he wanted Martin to be a copy of himself.” William stared down at their hands. “He could still give the crown to Daniel. I refuse to fight Daniel for it.” “Daniel has no interest in becoming king, William. He never has had that on his mind. He told me that he wanted nothing to do with politics once.”

“It doesn’t matter. If my father wishes it, it will be. Even if Daniel doesn’t want it. He could give me the crown after our father passes, but every one would know that it wasn’t what the true king wanted.”

“Prince William? We heard you hadn’t yet arrived the palace. I’m glad we caught you here before you left.” “The war is over. I’ve already called it off. You might as well turn back now and swallow whatever you came to say.”
