“You will find out soon, for now, we need to get ready as we have to leave this morning, sadly, our vacation has ended and now I need to go back to being king,”He said in a regretful tone, he loved being king but he also liked how the last two days have been for them, it felt normal, and normal wasn’t what he got a lot. “Sure, we can always come back on other weekends, you don’t have to look so sad,”Sophie consoled. “Of course, I am stealing you away from the palace every opportunity I get,”He responded and kissed her again. “Good morning, little one,”He greeted his little princess and the future queen of Otano. She jumped in excitement when he touched her through the baby bump. He couldn’t wait to meet her in person, he promised himself that he would be a great father, making sure not to be a parent like his father had been. “She loves you a lot, you know that right?”Sophie mouthed. “I feel it and I love her and you just as much,”He responded and kissed the baby bump and t
After Lance left, Sophie felt lonely and wanted the car which he said would come to take her back to the palace to arrive soon so that she could leave, she didn’t feel comfortable anymore and wished she had just taken his first offer of dropping her first at the palace before going to where he needed to be but whatever happened sounded urgent and she had not want him to waste time going to the palace first before going to where he needed to be. She was curious but didn’t ask him because she knew he would tell her what happened once he got back. Sophie smiled when she thought about what they shared the night before, she knew he loved her so much but his words last night and how he treated her in the last two days told her all she needed to know. The man loved her and their child so much and was willing to do everything to keep their family together, all she needed to do was believe in him which she already did. Even though Lance told her it would not take long for someone to come for
“Sophie, you are not getting me, are you? You have to leave this kingdom before Lance returns, you don’t want to wait until he finds out before you leave because trust me when I say that it would be more humiliating and hard for you, if you follow my advice, I will help you leave before he finds out,”Patrick said and Sophie stared at him in shock, yes, she was scared of what Lance might think of her when he found out but she wasn’t about to leave because of that, she would rather talk it out with him and leave if he still wants her to leave after hearing her out, not like she committed a big offense or even lied to him directly, she just didn’t tell him and knowing Lance, he might not even be mad at her. Now she regretted not telling him about her past life when she had the time to. If she had told him, she would not be here right now listening to this man who clearly hates her and has only been tolerating her because of Lance. Now that he wasn’t around, he was trying to send her awa
“You are joking, right? What you just said is satire, right? Because there is no way you expect me to believe what you just said, you seem to forget I know you were already pregnant before you and Lancelot got together. Are you really trying to pin the child you are carrying to him now? Is that the kind of game you decided to play?”He asked in an offended tone. “I am not playing any game, my child is the child of the king, I don’t have to answer your questions, the king knows and believes me and that’s all that matters to me not you, I don’t care if you believe what I say or not,”Sophie responded and watched the crazy man start laughing, she didn’t see anything that she said that was funny and making him laugh but she just stood there and watched him laugh his heart out, after a while, he stopped and glared at her. “You told Lancelot that the child you carry belongs to him and he believed you? What bull crap are you vomiting right now? We both know the child doesn’t belong to him
“If you stay around the king, the elders are going to turn against him once they find out what you are, you have to get out of his life and not make him lose everything he worked hard for just because you are selfish, Lancelot might not see it but you being around him will guarantee his removal from the throne, why aren’t you seeing things from my point of view? Do you think I enjoy doing this? Do you think I don’t like seeing my best friend happy? I am not the devil but this is a case where we can’t win if we don’t bend to the rules, not only Lancelot, but the whole kingdom will suffer great consequences if you stubbornly choose to hold on to him,”Patrick voiced out each word in frustration, even though Sophie told herself not to let his words get to her, she couldn’t stop it. Everything he was saying made sense, and were things she already thought about but she somehow deluded herself into thinking just love would be enough to keep her and Lance together, she couldn’t keep on belie
Lance had a rough day and he wanted to run back to Sophie and fall asleep in her arms. He didn’t meet with Justin but he met some of the people that he had gathered. They all looked shocked to see him and not one of them agreed that they were there to see his brother. He had an impromptu meeting with them reminding them who was in charge by the time he parted ways with them, they all looked remorseful even though they didn’t agree to the offense. After he left them, he decided to use the opportunity to check on some things in the area that he hadn’t had time to see for himself. He caught a lot of people unaware with his unannounced visits to various sectors in the area. By the time he finally got back in his car to go back to the palace, it was very late. Even though it was late, Lance decided to just go see the former queen, he needed to hear directly from her before he made any kind of decision. If she really had plans to support Justin, he would warn her but if she didn’t listen,
“Yes, and she is going to be the new queen soon,”He informed her. “You are going to marry her? Then you must be the father of her child,”She commented and Lance racked his brain to remember when he had told her that Sophie was pregnant but came up with nothing because he didn’t say anything to her. “Don’t look so surprised, I knew she was pregnant when she spent her time here even though she tried to hide it and did a pretty good job, I am glad you both resolved your issues and you accepted her, she is a good woman and would make a good queen,”Lance realized that he created a wrong image of the former queen from what he heard about her and not once did he try to get to know her, she was such a sweet old lady when she spoke. Once again, his father was in the wrong, what had he expected from that man anyway? “It took a while but we are good now. Do you want to move to a place closer to the center of the kingdom? It must be lonely out here,”Lance suggested. “Are you forgetting th
“What the fuck did you do Patrick?”Lance yelled out, still hoping that he was joking and Sophie was in on it that’s why she was hiding away from him, how could she not be in the palace when he gave a clear instruction that they should go get her and bring her here, he only spent one night away from the palace, that’s not enough time for her to leave or anything. “I am sorry, Lancelot, you might hate me for what I did but I did what I had to do to protect you and the kingdom,”“What nonsense are you talking about right now? What the fuck did you do, Patrick? I asked for Sophie to be brought to the palace. What do you mean she isn’t here, what are you saying? where could she be?”Lance yelled out. He couldn’t keep calm, not when the reality of what Patrick was saying would make his life hell, no way Patrick would do something like that to him knowing just how much he loved Sophie. “I found out something about her past that would harm you and your position, I spoke to her about it and
