Sophie felt bored out of her mind but that wasn’t the problem, she just couldn’t rub off the fact that something wasn’t right and that she might be in some kind of trouble. Ever since Patrick, the king’s right-hand man came to her, she hadn't seen or heard from the king. She tried to ask those who came to give her the basic things she needed about what was going on in the palace and the king but no one said anything to her. She couldn’t directly ask if the king did call off his wedding as Patrick had suggested. She hoped not because that would mean trouble for her. No one would believe she has anything to do with the king, she was in the house where mistresses are kept and well taken care of, she didn’t need a prophet to know that the people who attend to her think she is the king’s mistress. She wanted to shout to them that she was not but it was a waste of time as they wouldn't even say anything to her in the first place.

Not knowing what a new day would bring to her made her const

    “Are you sure? Because that man just called off our wedding and I have reasons to believe you are why he did it,”The princess said. Sophie opened her mouth to talk, but no words came out, she was too dumbfounded, she had thought Patrick was just saying nonsense when he had talked about the king calling off his wedding but the princess was saying the same thing but what she couldn’t understand was why they both think she was the reason the king would do that. “What? You can’t say anything? Are you happy? I know you must have told him you don’t want to share him with another woman, that’s why he called it off, you guys must be strong for him to be throwing away a union that would benefit his kingdom for you,”the princess went on. “My princess, I don’t know about the king calling off his wedding, the king and I have no such relationship, I am more like a prisoner here, something happened that I don’t know if I can tell you about but one thing is sure, the king did not call off your w

    “Roseline, Patrick is not my assistant just like Sophie isn’t my mistress, and I am not in love with her either, I can never fall in love with her and she is not the reason I called off the wedding,”The king explained. Sophie couldn’t help the feeling she got when the king spoke about them, about not loving her, she didn’t expect him to, heck she wasn’t in love with him either but she kind of felt hurt? That shouldn’t be, why would she be hurt by the king saying he doesn’t love her and would never do; it couldn’t describe what she felt but she didn’t like it, she didn’t like anything that was going on in the room and the way they were talking among themselves without even considering that she was still standing with them. “You say that? You can’t fool me, Lancelot, you are lying, tell me you have never kissed her, tell me you have never touched her, lie to my face that you guys have nothing going on and at no point during your decision to call off the wedding; you did not think abou

    “I am sorry, I should never have come here, I am sorry about the things I said; I am sorry we talked about you and made you sad, I will leave now, I hope your life gets better and that mad king does what is right by you, bye,”The princess said. Sophie didn’t expect the words she said and before she could respond, she already turned her back on her on her way out, she dragged Patrick with her and then it was just her and the king who didn’t make any attempt to leave. “Are you not going to go after her? She will get the wrong idea even more, just go tell her we have nothing going on and fix your relationship, I don’t want to be tied to something I know nothing about,”Sophie let out without looking at the king. He didn’t move or say anything so she finally lifted her eyes to him; he was watching her wordlessly. She averted her gaze and took a couple of steps away from him even though they weren’t even close in the first place. “Roseline and I have no relationship to fix, I was going

    Sophie knew she had to stop him, he had her backed against a wall and was kissing her hard, even though her brain wanted her to push him away, her heart and her body wanted a different thing; she couldn’t stop him because she wanted him, wanted his kiss. She wanted it enough to turn her back on all that could happen if they ended up in bed together again, she was already in trouble whether she kissed him or not; that was what she told herself as she leaned further into the kiss and gave into it with a greedy fervor, her mouth opening hungrily beneath his. Sophie felt light-headed with the way the king was kissing her and barely giving her time to breathe, she was on her tippy-toes trying to match his energy. He must have noticed her struggling because he lifted her into his arms and sat on the couch with her in his arms without breaking their kiss. She held onto him, finally feeling comfortable enough to enjoy the kiss even more; she could hear the small moan of pleasure he made as th

    Since he became king five years ago and after all the meetings he has attended, this was the first time Lance genuinely wanted the meeting to end, he had not anticipated a call from the US president and he couldn’t just say no when he had been the one to ask to speak to him. He didn’t expect the response to his request to come so early, but here he was listening to an older man who was speaking too fast for Lance to keep up with while his mind was somewhere else, at least, the call is being recorded and he would go over them again because he wasn’t listening half of the time, his mind was still at the emerald house where he had left Sophie, if the damn call didn’t come in, they would have been naked and tangled up in bed by now. He couldn’t believe how fast things changed between them, all he had wanted to do was kiss her, just kiss her to check if he was really attracted to her and the moment he kissed her, had a taste of her lips, he became addicted really fast. It was as if he got

    “Aha, thank God, I thought she would still be crying, I felt so bad, I should never have gone to confront her,”She lamented. The last part of what she said was mostly said in a whisper as if she was talking to herself. With how Roseline acted with him, he never expected her to be so soft with Sophie, or maybe because she is a woman just like her. “You are very concerned about her, and yes, you shouldn’t have gone to confront her, she has nothing to do with why our marriage isn’t happening,”He told her and heard her scoff. “Don’t say that to me again, I already accepted my fate, I can’t fight her when you two look so good together, I could feel the spark between you two, the way you were looking at her, I just knew, anyway, I accept defeat even though I didn’t fight,” “What are you even saying? Sophie and I don’t have anything going on, at least not yet,”He added the last part because he knew now that something would happen with them and if he let himself, he would be keeping her

    Sophie felt stupid just sitting and waiting for the king to show up like he had said he would, it was way past nine pm already and she knew she should stop checking the time and just go to sleep but her stupid self couldn’t bring herself to get out of the chair and to her room. It wasn’t totally her fault, it was his fault for putting ideas in her head, ever since he left her, she hadn’t been able to function properly, it was beyond what she could contain and she shamelessly wanted to feel him inside her again even though she knew that would mean making all what the princess had said about her real. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormone that made her sexual drive higher or maybe she just wanted to have the king again. Her mind went to the princess, she still couldn’t believe she apologized to her and also that the king called off their wedding, she was so sure that it was because of her. Sophie knew it wasn’t because of her. The fact that the king kissed her and wants to have sex with h

    “Let’s go,”She said to them and they led the way, she got into the car which was parked outside of the emerald house and they drove to the hospital. It took a while for it to get to her turn as there were a lot of other pregnant women who came for ante-natal, she waited patiently until they called her name and she walked in to see the doctor. “Your baby is doing fine and compared to before, you are healthier which is good for the baby and you, I hope you keep it up,”The doctor told her after examining her. Sophie smiled at him. He sent her to the scan room to get a scan done. Sophie teared up when she heard the heartbeat of her baby, she wasn’t born yet but she was already a fighter. The sonographer told her the baby was healthy and developing well in her womb which was good news for her. After she finished in the scan room, she also went to the laboratory to do some tests, all of which took a lot of time. She ate while she waited for the results. The doctor called her into his off

    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

    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
