~{LAUREN'S POV}~
*
When I learnt that the kingdom was being raided, I didn't bother running around.
A few men came by and on seeing me, they quietly left.
Peculiar was having a hard time sleeping and I sat beside her as I smoothened the side of her hair to give her comfort.
I was worried for her sake which is why I didn't want us staying here for long.
War was inevitable because of the sins the previous King, her father, had committed.
I pitied the man greatly but this was not our fight.
Not long after, Thomas came in and announced, "The carriage is ready, my lord."
At that news, I nodded and carefully carried my wife in my arms as I walked out of the room. Everywhere was a mess and more men trooped in but on seeing me, they ran past me without bothering to attack me.
I looked down at Peculiar who was still fast asleep and smiled at her.
Isn't she a delight to the eyes? I wondered to myself.
