2022-05-16 04:46:09Sophia sat in the car, with her hands tied, mouth gagged and blindfolded, she couldn't do anything, the drive continue for more than an hour, she wasn't sure where the man was taking her and couldn't even defend herself, she had to wait till they get to were they were going, she didn't even know if she will ever make it back alive, she just said a silent prayer to heaven wishing that they will protect her even if it is just because of her unborn child, she can't die like this, she didn't want to die like this.
"Okay, we are finally here,"The driver said as the car came to a stop, Sophia heard him open the car and get out and before she knew it, he was at her side, he pulled her out of the car with so much force that she almost hit her head on the car, he pushed her on the ground, before removing her blindfold, her eyes took a while to adjust after the blindfold was removed."Hand it over,"He said stretching out his hands."Hand what over?"Sophia asked, she was shocked by how calm she sounded when her whole body was in fear."Don't play dumb with me bitch, hand the package that was given to you by the king over right now,"He said pointing the gun at her."I don't know what you are talking about,"She said trying to play dumb, she couldn't give it to him, the king did say she would pay back if she list it and it was worth millions of Otano dollars, how can she give something like that to him, that would put her in debt for life and it might land her in prison, she didn't want to go to prison, she couldn't do there, prisons were bad in general but Otano prison was worst in all terms, she couldn't risk a life there, it was harsh on both make and female, she has seen some of the prisoners and shits the people of the kingdom did to them, according to the indigenes, it was the way to reduce crime since no one wants to go through that much humiliation."Hand it over or I will take it from you, I don't mind getting my hands on you so make this easy for the both of us, fast too, because I need to get back to the palace,"He let out, pointing the gun at her, no matter how she looked, Sophia just didn't know this driver, maybe he was new because she hasn't seen him around the palace before, why would the king send her on an errand he knew was dangerous and not send bodyguards with her, maybe this was his plan too to get rid of her, maybe he does remember their time together after all and this was a way to do away with her, he could have just ignored her, why did he have to do this to her, she wasn't even a threat to him."I can't give you anything, the king told me I will pay for It, and I don't think I will ever have the money to pay back so please just let me go,"She begged, going on her knees, the man laughed at her, she watched him mocking her, and tears of helplessness gathered in her eyes, there was so much of this that has happened before, so much, her on her knees begging for her life and the person laughing at her, yes she has been in this position once before and now she was back again, I'ma place that she thought she would finally be safe, a place she had called her home for two whole years, where she wasn't having the best life but at least she had been safe, now not anymore because once again, she has a gun to her face and her knees on the ground, somethings never change."Give it to me now, on the count of three or you will be dead,"He yelled at her, she wished someone could hear them and come to help her but she knew that was hopeless because they were in the middle of nowhere and it was dark, she might be killed either way but she couldn't due holding on to whatever the king gave her, so she deep her hand in her pocket and brought it out and handed it over to him, he checked them and did a little happy dance, laughing at her before turning towards the car, she knew he was going to leave but he couldn't leave her there on her own in the middle of nowhere."You can't leave me here, why are you doing this?"Sophia yelled at him, he turned to look at her and let out an evil laugh pointing his gun at her."You should be lucky I let you live, but then again, it will be a waste killing you, since what you gave ahead if you get out of here alive will be worst than anything else, anyway, have a fun time finding your way back to the palace, and if you do find your way back, you should know no one will believe your story, bye,"He said and walked away, got into the car and drove off leaving her in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but the clothes she was wearing, she didn't even know where she would go, it was already dark and there was no light, just the moonlight, she looked around trying to figure out where she was but she knew that was hopeless, she didn't know much about Otano to know where she was, in the two years that she has been working in the palace and living in the kingdom, she could count the number of times she had left the palace and it wasn't much, she got off the ground regardless of how hopeless her situation was."Please God help me,"She prayed as she started walking, she didn't know where she was going or what awaits her if ever she can get to the palace, she didn't have any money to pay back what was stolen, this was bad whichever way she looks at it and the worst is that she wasn't even sure she was going to make it out of this desert on her own, her life and that of her baby was in line and she didn't even know how to save the both of them...Related chapters

"Your majesty,"His special advisor said coming to stand by him, Lance looked at him."What is it?""Sorry to disturb your relaxing time but the soon to be queen wants to speak to you on the phone,"He revealed, Lance was in no mood to speak to the would-be queen, in fact, he wasn't in the mood to speak to anyone, he was waiting for the maiden he sent out to return, he had asked if she had returned a couple of times and it was the same report, she should have been back hours ago, it wasn't that hard of an assignment that he gave her."Tell her to tell you whatever she wants to say and you can relay it to me later, I am not in the mood to speak with anyone right now,"He ordered, walking back into his chamber."But my king,""No, but Patrick, or else you want to spend the rest of your week in prison,""Sorry, my king,"He said and left, Lance checked the time again, it was past twenty o clock already."Why isn't she back?"He asked himself as he stood up and walked out of his chamber,

Sophia was beyond exhausted from walking for hours but still, it felt like there was no hope for her, it was already midnight, everywhere was dark and she was nowhere near finding a house or anyone, this was bad, the more she walked the more it felt like it would be better to just sit in one place and wait for her death because as it stands there was no hope for her, she was exhausted, her legs were shaking, she was cold even though she had on so many layers of clothes, if she doesn't die of exhaustion, hunger will do the work or there maybe wild animals too, either way, she looks at it, she was going to end up dead, she just didn't want to die without fighting, she couldn’t just sit and lose, which was why no matter how tired and hungry she was, she kept walking, it looked like it was going to rain too, she hoped it won’t, that would make it worst for her, she just wished she had super powers this moment that would have helped her through this.No way had she thought her life would t

“My king, the driver is back but he was rushed to the palace hospital,"The guard relayed."What? What happened?""We don't know the full details yet but he was shoot in the arms and he was rushed to the hospital as soon as he got back,""Okay, what about the maiden? Where is she?"He asked as he wore his robe properly."I don't know my king, she isn't with him, he was alone,"The guard revealed."Are you sure you saw or are you just saying what you heard, make way for me, I will go talk to him at the hospital,""But my king, it's late already, you can do that tomorrow,"His advisor Patrick said as he walked in, Lance eyed him and walked past him, Patrick was doing the most recently and Lance was seriously considering giving him a sack letter.“Late? You better not get in my way, Patrick,”He said moving out of his room, he couldn’t remember the last time he had been to the palace clinic, right from when he was young, he didn’t have a pleasant memory of the clinic so he avoided it as

Sophie woke the next morning in shock, it took her a couple of minutes to remember what happened to her and where she was, she jumped up from the bed looking around, the previous night, she had been too exhausted to even be scared but now that she wasn’t so exhausted, she suddenly was scared of who the woman who had allowed her to stay this night at her place must be, it was all kinds of thoughts that gathered in her head and none of them was any better than the others, she couldn’t come up with a reasonable excuse as to why an older lady was living alone in the middle of nowhere like there were no houses around, or maybe there was and she didn’t see it the night before, she walked out of the room.The house was empty when she got out, she wondered if she had imagined the old woman last night out of exhaustion but soon told herself to wake up because how would she imagine her if she was in her house right now?“You are awake? Good, you should take a bath,”The old woman said coming fr

Lance was passed worrying for the maid’s safety now, it was obvious she played him for a fool and he had been so stupid to trust her with something as huge as the rare diamonds he had entrusted to her, the driver was too shaken to have been lying and when he had questioned the people who worked with the maid, they all seem not to have anything good to say about her, in fact, they barely had anything to say about her except that she is always on her on and barely interact with them and aside for being very loyal to him, she just doesn’t give her other jobs in the palace much attention, it was hard to believe based of how he saw her be so diligent but many people can’t be lying on her when they don’t have anything to gain from it.“Your highness, the future queen is not happy that her request has been constantly ignored recently,”Patrick said as he walked into his chamber and Lance cursed under his breath, he was beginning to think he made a huge mistake by agreeing to wife the princes

Sophia let out a sigh, she was beyond exhausted from overthinking but the most painful part of everything was that no matter how hard and long she thought about it, there was no way around this, not a single escape route for her, she was going to have to face that reality and leave here.She has been at the old woman’s house for four whole days now and the lady has been nothing but nice to her, giving her food and making sure she was okay, but that didn’t make her feel better, she knew that the longer she stayed behind, the more trouble she gets into.The best decision she has come up with was to try and go plead her case before the king, whatever outcome it might be, but she didn’t have the diamonds with her, if she did, she would have returned it back, and maybe she would have been able to plead her case.“I should just leave this kingdom and go back to my country,”She let out even though she knew that would be worse for her.“Why are you sitting here with such a king face?”The ol

During the ride back to the palace, it really hit her then that her life was going to take a huge turn for worse, there was no other way, and there was no one on her side either, the only person that she could say was on her side, she brought problems to her, she felt sorry for the good old woman and wished she didn’t have to go through troubles for helping her.“I am sorry,”She whispered to herself, hoping that the good old lady will be okay, she closed her eyes and said a silent prayer even though she highly doubted it will be effective.“Time to face the wrath of the king, you thief,”The big man who is the leader said before the car stopped in front of the palace, Sophie looked up at the great walls of the palace and tears gathered in her eyes again, two years ago when she had first seen this wall, it had been like the best place to be, a safe place, but now, she knew that this will be her prison or her death place.She watched as the big gate opened as her heartbeat increased, s

“You have a new fellow,”The guard who had dragged her in after her name was registered as a criminal said as he pushed her towards a group of women all wearing similar clothes, they all looked at her weirdly as she tried to steady herself but she was much too weak to do anything right, aside from the fact that she has been toasted up and down for hours, she hasn’t even eaten and her body was beyond weak.“You better be ready to talk, neither the king nor anyone else will buy your lies, better speak up and get punished,”The guard said and turned to leave locking her up with the women.It was like having a staring contest with the women, there were five of them in the small room, she knew the living conditions here were bad but she never thought it would be this bad, there was basically nothing in here but worn-out beds that looked more like trash than a bed, a small table and nothing else, the beds bunks looked uncomfortable.“Are you going to introduce yourself or do you want a beat

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

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
