“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
Two days, two whole days since she landed back in the country of her birth, and all Sophie could do was cry, from the moment the plane had taken off, she broke down in tears and it has been like that for the past two days. Two days ago, her world had crashed and she was nowhere close to recovering. With the card that Patrick had given to her, she was able to pay for the hotel where she had been staying for the past two days, she barely left the room, only went out to receive room service because she couldn’t starve as that wasn’t good for the baby. Speaking of the baby, the little princess knew something was up too because she had been quiet, only moving a couple of times, maybe to notify her that she was okay. Aside from that, the only time she moved was in the morning as if she was looking out for her daddy’s morning kisses and greetings, each morning for the last two days broke her heart and she cried the most in those times. She missed Lance so much and wanted to be back with him
Lance felt sick to the bone, his life had not been the same since he came back to no Sophie or their baby, he hadn’t been able to get a peaceful sleep, how could he sleep when the woman he loved and their unborn child were out there and might be in danger. He still couldn’t believe Patrick, who he trusted so much, was the same person to cause so much pain all in the name of helping him. Well, he didn’t help him, he only succeeded in making his life hell. Three days, three whole days looking everywhere for her but no sign of her. It was as if she landed in Briscout and disappeared, that’s the only thing he could find out. the country that she was from and he sent people there. He couldn’t even go find her by himself because he was caught up fixing the mess that Justin had tried to create. At least that never happened. If Patrick had not been ahead of himself and sent Sophie away without his permission, he would not be in so much pain right now. With each day that passes, his anxiety g
“Oh my God? He sent her out of the kingdom? Patrick, you sent the king’s woman out of his kingdom?”Lance silently listened when Roseline directed the question at Patrick, he wanted to hear his answer but the fucker didn’t say a word which got Lance angrier. “He is out of his mind right now and is just here staring at me weirdly, he is broken, my king,”Lance said. she was really concerned for Patrick, Lance would have been concerned too but after what he did, he couldn’t bring himself to care about his feelings, if Patrick cared about him, he would never have sent his woman away. “I am more broken, Roseline, Sophie is pregnant, she is all alone and I don’t even know how to get her back, Patrick is my best friend, he should not be the one to break my family, he knew just how much that woman meant to me yet he sent her away, I just can’t stand him, I fired him and I don’t think I want him back anywhere near me,”Lance concluded. He did need Patrick around him but he didn’t know if he
“I messed up, I did, I am sorry, I should never have interfered, I thought I was doing what’s best for everyone but I know now that I wasn’t, I made a mistake, and I can fix it, just give me a chance to,”Patrick pleaded. “How do you intend to fix it? I have been looking for her for days now, it’s as if she disappeared as soon as she landed.”Lance lamented bitterly. “I gave her a card before she left and also gave her my number in case she needs anything from me, I don’t know if she will call because she said she won’t need anything from me but the card can be traced if she has made any purchase, I just need to be in the country to do that but I couldn’t leave the country without your permission and you refused to speak with me,”Patrick said. “Why do you need my permission to leave the country when you didn’t wait for my permission before you sent my woman away?”Lance questioned. He passed his fingers through his hair in frustration, and Patrick remained silent. “You have my pe
