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
After Lance left Sophie, he went back to his room to get ready for the date with Roseline, he really wanted to back out but he needed to figure out if there was any reason to still keep the wedding plans, he already told Sophie he would be marrying the princess, even though she didn’t answer, he didn’t care. “I don’t care, why should I care what her response is?”He cautioned himself as he got dressed. He didn’t like her answer. Her tiny ‘okay’ when he had told her was making him angry, it shouldn’t. they were nothing to each other, just because he kissed her when he was drunk and just because he found peace when he slept with her in his arms doesn’t mean they were anything to each other, okay, he couldn’t deny the fact that he had wanted to kiss her earlier just to know how she tasted like without the alcohol in his system, it took everything in him to not kiss her, especially when she had been looking at him like she wanted him to kiss her too then he blurted out that he was going
“I hope we can fix this need to want to tear each other apart over our next dates,”Lance suggested. “What? We have to keep meeting? I wasn’t aware,”She let out. ‘You are still in Otano right? We should meet every day until you have to go back home, that way we will learn all things about each other, you said it also that we can’t get married as strangers,”Lance reminded her. “Yeah, sure, whatever you say,”She replied. There was no getting through to her, she was just too stubborn. “I will drop you off at your hotel,”Lance invited as he stood up and she did too. “You don’t have to do that, I have my people with me and I can find my way back to the hotel, let’s not pretend to be close when we are not,”She responded. “Yeah, my bad,”He said and before he could say anything else, she just picked up her bag, and off she went. Before he came out of the restaurant, she was already gone. “That’s one heck of a woman,”He commented. He got into his car too and the driver took him b
“What the hell?”Roseline asked after she pushed away. He kind of forgot what was happening between them and instead, his head was filled with another woman. “Did you suddenly disappear from your body or are you just a woody man with no single romance bone?”She asked and he glared at her. “What do you mean by that?”He fired at her. “I mean, you and I just shared a kiss and it felt like I was kissing a log of wood, that’s the worse kiss I have ever had,”She let out while wiping her lips. “You, did you just, what?”Lance let out. He couldn’t even get the words he wanted to say out. did she just compare him to a log of wood? “What? You can’t get the words out?”“You watch what you say to me, a wood? If you think you have kissed a lot, I can tell you I have kissed twice as many people and this is my worst too and you think I am to blame?”He fired at her. He hated how he had to defend himself against her. “Well, I guess we have a lot more to work on than we thought because I am a
“You don’t get the gist, do you? I know what we talked about; I know what we decided but I don’t see the point of marrying someone I don’t like when I am not going to gain anything from her. If we get married, her kingdom would be gaining more from us, On top of us not liking each other, there is no guarantee that we will be compatible in bed either, We shared a kiss and it was the worst kiss I have ever had, I already said no one can talk me out of what I already decided so let’s keep it at that, there will be no royal wedding unless I find a suitable bride that I can bed too,”Lance declared in a voice that left no room for argument, he could tell that they had more to say but he didn’t care, he was done talking to them, he got off the throne and walked out of the throne room expecting Patrick to follow, if only he could avoid the ear full that Patrick was about to give him, one thing was sure, he wasn’t going to go back on his words, he had nothing to lose if the marriage doesn’t h
