A Night With The King Chapter 38
“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

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

“I still think going to see him in the mood you are in right now is a bad idea, Lancelot, I know he was evil and all for what he did to her but can you just let the right authorities do their job, they already have evidence against him,”Patrick pressed, when they arrived at the palace, he was hesitating on passing the palace gate. Lance wasn’t having it, he wasn’t going to let him talk him out of going to see that bastard, on the way to the palace, he had finished watching the video just to get a grasp of the whole situation and let just say, it got worst with each new details he finds out, the fucker, threatened her, left her in the middle of nowhere even though he knew it was late, she could have been kidnapped or worst, killed in the wild. How she was able to locate the disgraced queen’s house, was still a mystery well, at least she did something good for once. Not like the queen has ever done anything to him personally, it was his father that sent her away, while he was still a c

“So? Now that your secret is open, are you finally going to tell me what the fuck happened and why you stole from me and framed an innocent woman?”The man looked shocked, like he wasn’t expecting his secret to be known; he was quick to mask the shock but Lance already saw through him, he knew what the fucker was going to say next, and sure enough, he didn’t disappoint, like every other criminal, he lied. “I don’t know what you are talking about, Your Majesty, I am innocent, please spare my life,”He pleaded. If Lance hadn’t watched and heard the things he had said to Sophie, he would have believed he was innocent with the way he spoke but bad for him that he already knew he was lying. “You liar, how dare you lie to your king? How dare you lie to my face? You better start talking, better start naming the people who were involved in the theft with you or you will be facing the consequences on your own, not only did you steal from the kingdom, you blamed it on someone else. If I hadn’

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
