A Night With The King Chapter 29
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

“You kissed me, if that’s what you want to know but nothing else happened after that,”Sophie told him with her head still bowed. “I kissed you or you kissed me? Don’t lie to me Sophie, it will not end well for you,”He let out. Sophie lifted her head for a moment and met his eyes, the fact that he was the king and could get away with anything doesn’t mean he can gaslight her about what happened last night when she had been the sober one who had put a stop to his madness, something that would never have happened in the first place if he didn’t come to her. He didn’t even let her tell him what he did to her after the kiss, how he made her work throughout the night catering to his needs. “Why would I lie about something like that?”She asked, still not taking her eyes away from him, she wanted to but if she did, he would assume she was really making things up, he was already doing it and she needed him to drop that narrative before he runs with it and make her pay for something she di

Lance walked angrily into his chamber, half expecting to see Patrick waiting for him so that he can give instructions to send that crazy woman, Sophie away but when he needed Patrick to be around, the man wasn’t there. He tossed his phone on his bed and stamped around his bedroom in anger, the way she had the mind to talk back at him in such manners and even call him names when all he did was ask her what happened between them the night before. He woke up naked and alone with no memory of what happened the previous night, at first, he didn’t think anything about the fact that h was naked but then when he got out of the bed and noticed that he had come to Sophie, he had to rethink and still couldn’t remember a thing, his first thought had been that he slept with her and that would explain why he had been naked, he waited for her to come back to the room but she didn’t so he went out to look for her and found her in the other room which pissed him off, if they slept together then why di

“You, what are you doing here again? I told you I don’t want to see your face around me anymore, I hate seeing your face,”She yelled at Patrick who paused his movement and looked his way as if asking for help. Even though he wanted to watch Roseline tear Patrick apart, he had to save his friend. “Roseline, I don’t know who made you mad woman but you are taking it out on the wrong people, last I check, this is my palace and my kingdom and I don’t remember giving you the right to speak like you are doing right now, and correction, Patrick is not just a mere assistant, he is a noble man as he has the reputable place as the king’s special adviser so you will speak calmly and with respect when you talk to him, especially when you are in my presence and my kingdom.”Lance told her in a firm authoritative voice. “Oh, really? You think just because you are the king you can do whatever you want? You don’t get to do that and I don’t care who that fucker is to you,”She let out. “Fucker? Are

“You both left me with no choice, I was just trying my best to get you both to do things for each other, don’t make me out to be the bad person here because I am not,”Patrick said in his defense. “Patrick, you tricked me, that’s not what friends do, now I have to buy another present for her actual birthday,”“You are worrying about that? Shouldn’t you be more worried about not knowing the birthday of the woman you are supposed to be marrying? At least I did my homework and know some things about you but aside from the fact that I am a princess, what do you really know about me, Lancelot? I don’t think you know anything about me and you don’t even look like you want to know anything about me,”She sounded pissed all over again and this time, he couldn’t even respond in anger too because she was right, but that wasn’t going to make him fault himself because unlike her who has a lot of time to do those things, he barely had any time to himself as he was always busy with the affairs of

Sophie didn’t see or hear from the king again for the next couple of days and honestly, she liked it and hoped he would stay away continuously and not come near her again. The day the stuff happened and he had said he would come back for her. She had expected the guards to show up and throw her out of the emerald house and back to prison but nothing like that happened. That day went by as usual with only the maids who came to give her food showing up at the right time. There was no talk of what happened with the king, and neither did any of the guards show up to throw her out. The next day and the other day that followed were also spent panicking, wondering if the king was taking his time and plotting how he would send her away in the cruelest way, but after three days of no news from him, she began to relax again. Today, she decided to clean the house, she woke up early and went about tidying everything in the three rooms and then the living room, when she was done, she took her bath

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

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
