A Night With The King Chapter 20
Lance opened his eyes and looked around. He knew at once that he wasn’t in his room. He felt someone move against him and looked to see Sophie in his arms. She was still asleep. He couldn’t remember much from last night but all he knew was that after he had a drink which was too much, he had tried to fall asleep but he couldn’t so he dragged himself out of bed and somehow ended up by her side with her sleeping in his arms. How he was not feeling anxious waking up by her side was beyond him, instead, he wanted to watch her sleep. He shook his head to clear off the crazy thoughts and calmer refused himself from the bed that was too small for the two of them but somehow, they were able to spend the night together on it. He couldn’t remember what he did or said to her last night, he wasn’t naked but he feared he might have touched her in his drunk state. He should have listened to Patrick and not taken that alcohol but he had been having too many thoughts in his head and had only wanted

Sophie stared in awe as guard after guard came into her cell room taking out all the things that were inside, she didn’t know what they were up to and they refused to answer her. If this was the king punishing her then not only was he an evil man, he was also petty too. She did nothing wrong. He was the one that came to meet her when he was drunk and insisted on laying on the bed with her even when she tried to send him back. Last night had been hell for her, she barely got any sleep being squished up against him and when she finally fell asleep, she was woken by him while he was trying to leave. The way he had asked her if anything happened between them the night before, if anything, it was enough to confirm that he really has no memory of what happened that night two months and a week ago. She wondered if it would have been different if she had not sneaked out that night before he woke up, maybe it would have been easier to tell him about the baby being his. “And be faced with gett

The change of environment was so sudden that Sophie didn’t know what to make of it, it makes no sense that the king would want her to be moved out of prison and then he made sure to turn the dungeon into a mini hotel room just for her and now, he moved her to the emerald house. Sophie stood in awe as the guard opened the door to the entrance. “What am I doing here? Why did you bring me here? Is the king here? Is he drunk?”She couldn’t help asking. The guard has been nice to her so she expected him to answer all of her questions and yes, he did. “I don’t know a lot of details, the king is not here right now and he was the one that gave the instructions that you be moved here, I am sure you will find out soon, good luck,”The guard said and turned to leave. “Wait! Are you leaving me here alone?” She questioned. Yes, once he leaves, she would be alone because the place was separated from the main palace but connected to the king’s chamber by a single door and only a few people have

“Lancelot, I am this close to shaving off my hair and it is all because of you,”Patrick yelled out as they walked into his chamber, but Lance ignored him The man has been on his case all morning ever since he told him he had given instructions for Sophie to be moved out of the dungeon. He had reasons for making that decision and he wasn’t going to back out no matter what Patrick says. “Now, you are ignoring me!” Patrick let out in frustration. “I am not ignoring you Patrick, I am tired and want to rest, I have been up all day and about the affairs of the kingdom and now I just want to rest,”Lance said as he took off his clothes and walked towards his bath. “I will let you rest if you let me, need I remind you that you are not allowed to take a mistress until two years after your marriage and you are not even married yet, your marriage is barely two months away. A month and eight days to be precise, you can’t take a mistress now, it is too close to your wedding. If you had mistre

“I am not pestering you. I just don’t want you to do anything that you might end up regretting, you have a lot going on already.”“Yes, I know, thank you for your concern, Patrick but aside from the diamonds that are missing, Sophie isn’t much of a problem and I have reasons to believe that she is saying the truth about not taking it or having anything to do with it being missing,”He disclosed. He wasn’t so sure yet but he just couldn’t help but think that she was innocent, aside from her being pregnant, he really had nothing else to tie her to the supposed theft, because he had the guards search the disgraced queen’s house to be sure she didn’t hide it there and there was nothing there. She would not have hidden it somewhere else. Except, her baby daddy had been able to go there but the disgraced queen said there was no one with her. Lance knew he shouldn’t believe everything so blindly but Sophie has worked close to him for two years and she has never stolen from him even though sh

Sophie stood there in shock. She should have known he would show up but it was so late at night. She only came out of the room she was using to get water from the mini fridge in the dining room. She never thought she would find him there. He was watching her. No, he was checking her out, she looked down and realized she had on the nightie she found in the wardrobe in the room. It was revealing, she hurriedly closed the door and quickly grabbed a robe she also found in the wardrobe. She wore it as fast as she could as she couldn’t keep the king waiting. Even though he was an uninvited guest who came at the oddest hour, he was still the king and the king must always be respected. “My king,”she let out when she came out of the room again. He was now seated. “Woman, how do you like your new place?”The king asked. Sophie willed herself to stay calm and not overthink things until he say otherwise, one thing was sure, she was not going to be his mistress, ever. She told herself that all

For the second time, Lance found himself waking up beside the woman who he shouldn’t even be this comfortable within the first place. Unlike the last time, this time he had been sober when he asked her, no, commanded her to let him share a bed with her, she had no choice but to allow him because no one can say no to him, except Patrick. That mudafucker has zero respect for him. Lance couldn’t deny the fact that he slept better with her around, maybe it was her or maybe he just needed someone close to be able to fall asleep. The first night he slept with her, he didn’t have any nightmares and last night was the same too. Not to mention he was comfortable in her presence. He watched her sleep. The woman was a hell of pretty. She caught his attention the first time she started working at the palace and she had been respectful, polite, and well spoken, he didn’t have to repeat himself twice for her to get what he wants, not to mention she never grumbles or anything when he calls her at an

“She is not a thief, at least not until it is proven beyond doubt that she stole,”Lance reprimanded. “See? This is what I am saying, you are already defending her, innocent until proven guilty doesn’t work for her my king, she is the one you handed the diamonds to, whatever happened to it is her fault, you are not even concerned about finding it when you know just how important it is to the kingdom. I am sure you haven’t even asked her about it because all you want is to quote “Get so peaceful sleep” Patrick let out. Lance couldn’t respond because he was right, he hasn’t asked Sophie about it again and he was also right about the diamonds being important to the kingdom which is why he plans on getting a replacement before anyone finds out that it is missing. “I am going to get a replacement, it is not like it is one of a kind, I know it will cause me money but I don’t mind,”He said. He knew Patrick was about to go crazy on him again and the man didn’t disappoint. “You are out of

A Night With The King Epilogue
Their little princess was born a little over a month later. A healthy seven-pound baby that came into the world in all of her glory, ready to be the great queen that was her destiny. As Sophie held her baby in her arms for the first time. She couldn’t help the smile that formed on her lips and the happy tears that fell from her eyes when they met with Lance who had tears in his eyes too. The memory would stay with her for a long time. After the birth, she slept for about three hours and when she awoke, her little princess was in the room with her. Sophie got out of her bed and walked to the baby crib. She picked up her little one and exhaled. Her baby was beautiful and so perfect. “Thank you,”She muttered to the pretty child for she was the reason Sophie’s luck changed forever. Both she and Lance already picked a name for her. Aurora. Which means dawn just like how her conception created a new dawn for Sophie. Sophie had a lot to be thankful for and made sure to not forget. “My fam

The woman who was no longer isolated has become one of the important people to Sophie who saw her as a mother figure and the older woman treated her like a daughter, giving her tips and advice on how to navigate her status as the queen and also how to be a good mom. Sophie had so many good people around her which made everything easy for her and she was thankful to every one of them. Sophie let out a nervous sigh when she arrived at the cathedral. It was finally happening. She was marrying Lance. They announced her entrance and Sophie started walking towards the aisle where her Lancelot stood waiting for her with the most genuine expression. His eyes were filled with love and pride. She could see. Her heart felt full. Sophie felt her eyes water as she got to him. He had a bright smile ready for her and he looked so handsome in his royal regalia. So handsome and so hers. After today, she would finally be able to call him her husband. She still couldn’t believe it was really happening
A Night With The King Chapter 117
The next month pretty much went faster than Sophie could have imagined. There was so much to prepare for their wedding and everyone was busy. She didn’t have to worry about any of the preparations but she did do a lot of public appearances, some with Lance, others alone. Even though she had a lot going on with her and a lot of things to learn. She still felt so happy. The people of Otano not only accepted her as their queen but they also made sure she knew that she was loved by them. All the backslash that she had feared for didn’t come. Of course, she knew not everyone would support her but a great number did and that made her so happy. Nothing good comes easy so it was no surprise that she had a pretty hard time getting used to her new status. Lance did his best to make everything very easy for her. He was a darling man and she felt so lucky to have him in her life. He listened to her and was always considerate of her wants and needs. Sophie stared at herself in the mirror as the s

Everyone in the room listened to her. Lance saw the look of admiration and respect that the elders had regarded her with after she finished talking to them and his heart had swelled with love and pride. Not only was his queen bold and beautiful. She was also brilliant and well-spoken. Lance was sure now that she had successfully won the elders over and that they wholeheartedly supported her being queen. “I knew you would get along. She is a great woman. She isn’t much of a proper princess but she definitely knows a lot about royalty, when she asked me, I didn’t think twice before saying yes. I already know you both will do great things together. I know you already have plans for the women of Otano,”He said. he liked how the majority of what she had said to the elders was about giving the women more representation. Lance has done his best since he became king to let the women of Otano shine just as much as their male counterparts but there is only so much a man can do. With Sophie an

“Why am I stuck here with you when I could be with my woman in bed already, it is way past nine pm,”Lance complained, throwing the files he had on the table, they were still in his office even though it was so late already. As it was approaching the end of the year, he had a lot of things to go through which was driving him crazy. He couldn’t postpone anything like he had done last year because he knew when the new year runs in, he would be married and also with a newborn. He wanted to spend enough time with his family without worrying about the load of work waiting for him. “You are not the only one stuck here, I would rather listen to my woman go off about her adventures than be here with you but we don’t always get what we want,”Patrick replied. Lance still couldn’t believe they were together, yeah, they looked good together and he might have had an idea that they would end up together but he didn’t think it would happen so soon. Partly because they hated each other before and m

The best part of everything was that they listened to her with interest, which made it easy for her to speak with more confidence, she didn’t even think about looking Lance’s way as the conversations went on and when she finally looked at him, he had a proud smile on his face. Sophie had seen Lance smile a lot over the past months that they had been together but this smile carried so much more power, she wanted to do more to see him smile like that. After Sophie was done talking, everyone applauded her, even Patrick was clapping when she looked his way. not just clapping, he was smiling too. After they had that talk where he apologized, they have been cool with each other and now even talk to each other even when Lance isn’t present. Getting to know Patrick, Sophie realized he was a good man, just too strict sometimes. She enjoys it when he tells Lance off or nags him because of something he wants him to do. It was always fun to watch them go off. “You did well today, I am so proud
A Night With The King Chapter 113
Sophie opened her eyes and smiled brightly when she felt the weight of her favorite person on her, even though she was so big with their daughter now, he still managed to fit his arms around her, with his hand settling protectively over her baby bump. She felt safe and loved even though she was slightly uncomfortable because she had been sleeping on that side for too long. She struggled to turn to the other side so that she could face the man of her dreams. As she turned, she felt a slight weight on her finger that wasn’t there before, her mouth flew open when she saw it. “Oh my God,”Sophie whispered, staring at the beautiful ring on her finger. The dim light in the room didn’t do anything to stop it from looking so pretty. “When did he do it?”Sophie asked herself as she finally turned to face her sleeping sweetheart. The crazy man had a way of making her fall in love with him even more than she already had. She fell asleep immediately after they finished making love. He must have

Having Sophie back in his arms and his life where she belonged gave Lancelot so much peace but he knew that peace would not be complete until he did the needful which was to make her his queen; she was already his queen but he wanted to make it official, introduce her to his people who will become her people too. He wanted them to be married before the princess's due date so he set to work. He sent a message to all the elders, requesting for them to meet up with him. He already had the discussion with them before but he wanted them to officially meet his wife and also be aware of the royal wedding that was about to take place. Of course, he gave his woman time to heal from what she had experienced which was why he scheduled the meet up for three weeks after they returned. He told her about it a week ago and she had been skeptical about meeting them but he reminded her that it was inevitable, the queen had to meet her people. He was able to talk her into agreeing. The meeting was fina

“From everything that we checked, the baby is okay even though she was a little in distress earlier, we will prescribe a new medication and advise you to rest as much as possible and also report to the hospital if you feel any kind of discomfort,”The doctor informed both of them. Sophie was glad to know the baby was okay, she had been so scared after the sharp pain she felt when she had been trying to run away from Damon, thankfully, no harms were done to her or the baby and now she was back safe to her home; yes, Otano was her home now, the only place she ever want to call home, the only thing that would take her back to Briscout now is when she goes to pay visit to her family’s graves.“Thank you so much doc,”Lance said to the doctor, his words brought Sophie out of her thoughts, she realized she didn’t hear the last part of what the doctor had said but she didn’t worry because she knew Lance heard and he would remind her if it was very important, she turned her eyes to him. “We
