A Night With The King Chapter 24
“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

“You don’t get a break until you meet with your wife-to-be, the prime minister, the minister of health, and also the ruler of the neighboring kingdom so you can only get a break by maybe nine or ten today,”Patrick listed out his schedule for the day. Surprisingly, aside from his supposed wife-to-be, he wanted to meet with the others he mentioned. Which was so not like him, he always hated the meetings and only met with those people because he had to for things to be done. Maybe because he had a good night's rest and he wasn’t hungover for once, he couldn’t help the smile that formed. “What are you smiling about? Are you suddenly excited to meet your wife-to-be?”Patrick asked. Way to ruin his mood. “Don’t push it, Patrick, I can tell you that woman has nothing to do with my smile. In fact, the thought of her is enough for me not to smile for a whole week,”He replied as he walked away from Patrick to his bathroom. He didn’t want Roseline in his space so he had to be at the dining t

Sophie woke up with a banging headache. She knew the reason for her headache was due to the fact that she had been overthinking things but she just couldn’t help it. The king was giving her mixed signals. After the night they spent together, she went days alone without seeing or hearing from him. The only people she came in contact with were the maidens who came to give her food. No one else was allowed into the apartment and the maids were still not allowed to speak to her so she couldn’t ask them what was going on in the palace. The king kept his promise though and the maids brought a couple of books for her and also some knitting equipment. She already started reading the books but for knitting, she still has not found the will to start. Sophie still had no idea where she stood, the king never spoke to her about the missing diamond since that first night and also, he never sent anyone to question or anything, it was as if he completely forgot what happened and he was just keeping

Sophie froze and stayed unmoving for a good minute while the king continued to press his lips to hers, she couldn’t let him kiss him especially not when he was drunk again, the last time she let him touch her while he was drunk, he got her pregnant and currently have no memory of that happening, she pushed him away and watched as shock registered in his eyes, she wiped her lips with her hands and tried to get away from him but he pulled her back and once again slammed his lips on hers, she gasped in shock and he took that opportunity to invade her mouth and claim her tongue, she was hit with the taste of alcohol, she withdrew so fast when she remembered that she was pregnant and alcohol wasn’t good for the baby, yes it wasn’t direct consumption but she didn’t want to do anything that would harm her child, she put as much distance between him as she could. “Don’t fucking kiss me with that alcohol-filled mouth of yours,”She let out as she wiped her mouth clean, he started coughing, an

“What do you want now, your majesty?”She inquired, standing by the door, he looked restless. “Water, I need water, woman,”He let out. “If I get you water, will you finally let me get some sleep? I hate to break it to you, your majesty, but I am human too and I need to get some sleep,”She lamented but he seemed not to even be concerned about what she said as he continued to request for water, she so wanted to go back to her room and ignored his nonsense for the rest of the night but she knew she would not be able to get any sleep so it was better to go get that water and shut him up, she walked to the fridge and got a bottle of water and strolled back to the room he was in, he was up already and sat on the bed, she handed him the water and waited until he drank to his contentment before collecting the bottle back from him. “Can you sleep now so that I can get some sleep too? It is literally two am in the morning and I still haven’t slept thanks to your needs,”She lamented. He ig

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
