A Night With The King Chapter 36
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
A Night With The King Chapter 41
Sophie looked up from the book she had been reading when the door that led to the king’s chamber opened. She expected to see the king but instead, his special advisor walked in. Sophie got up fast, dropped the book, and bowed to him. He was second in command and answered directly to the king so he was treated with the same respect as the king, not to mention, he used to be the king’s best friend. “Sophie?”He called out her name. “Yes, my lord,”She let out. She didn’t like how he called out her name. It sounded like he was here to give her an earful. “Listen to me and listen really well okay? I am just going to say what I have to say once and not more than once, do you copy?”he questioned authoritatively. “Yes, my lord. “Good, now I don’t know what you and the king have but it won’t work, I am trying to talk some sense into him but he won’t listen to me so I am talking to you instead. I want you to be the one to discontinue whatever relationship you have with the king,”He let

Lance paused and checked his progress so far, he was tired but for the last two hours, he had seen a lot of progress. He felt relief, the anger and anxiety he felt earlier were almost gone now, he really needed this time away from everything, If only he could do this more often but being king means he has to give away his free time and a lot more other things; the fact that he gives away so much and yet, when he does decide to put himself first, it becomes a problem. Painting was what his life had been all about before he gave it all up and came to Otano to take over from his father. These days, he never has time to paint, he gave it up willingly, he gave up his whole life and they still want him to do more. “Yikes,”He let out and dropped the brush he held. He wasn’t doing anything special right now, he was painting a meadow, the only thing that came to mind when he got here. This place was the only place he could find some kind of alone time, Of course, that crazy advisor of his kn

“Are you planning on spending the rest of the day here?”Patrick asked, breaking the silence. So much for silence. Lance still ignored him. “You know, you can’t ignore me forever, right? You will have to speak to me,”Patrick pressed on. “I still don’t understand why you think it is a good idea to call off your wedding and then ghost everyone, I know you don’t want me to bring it up again but I have to, Lancelot, You should have at least told her when she was still here, she doesn’t deserve to hear about it from someone else when she was with you throughout the week,”Patrick said. This time, his words got to Lance and he stopped what he was doing to give him a look. “Patrick, you are here, aren’t you? If you are so concerned about her, why don’t you go to her kingdom and break the news to her yourself, I mean, it isn’t out just yet, I only told the elders, go tell her, You have one day because by the end of tomorrow, I want the official news out, I don’t need a queen at least not
