I woke up the next morning with body pains after a hot sex session with the king the previous night. He had continued with me after Sage left, and he fvcked me hungrily with different styles that I couldn't understand, sex that lasted longer than I thought it would. I could tell by the way he fvcked me that he didn't finish with Sage before he came to me; maybe he wasn't enjoying the sex with Sage, or he just wanted longer sex. Just in between my thoughts of last night with King Archer, a different maid that wasn't the one of yesterday came in with my food and coffee. I guess all the maids in this castle will know all the flaws in my body and maybe discuss me with their peers; I can't continue being bathed by a million maids. I have to tell the King it's either I bathe myself or get my handmaid back. I didn't want people seeing the injury on my back; although it's healed but left a scar Making my back ugly. "Good morning, my queen, my name is Anna Lin, and I am the one to bathe yo
I sat on the high chair as the maids did whatever they had to disguise me. I couldn't wait to see what they had done to my body. My thoughts drifted back to King Archer; I hadn't still set my eyes on him ever since we got here and got kind of scared that something bad might have happened to him. "Did you change the Queen's hair color and cover up her freckles? She is the only queen with these qualities," a maid from another room walked in and said as my heart skipped. Am I really losing my red hair? "Okay then, Sara, get me some black hair dye," The maid said as a young-looking maid gave her the hair dye. Wait, this can't be happening! I love my hair color, and black will make me look odd. "Excuse me, uhm… does applying this black dye change my hair color forever?" I asked curiously as she shook her head. "It's just for the night; once the ceremony is over, a maid will wash it off with some hair treatments," the maid replied as I heaved a sigh of relief. After some minutes of wa
I was dumbfounded by his reply; he sounded really serious; why would he want me when he knows I am married? "I'm afraid you can't have me because I am engaged, as you know already," I said, raising my brows at him; his lips curved into a mischievous smile. What was amusing about what I said? "Young lady, do you think I care? I want you because you're Archer's best wife, and I will do anything possible to take away whatever or whoever he loves," he uttered curtly and authoritatively. If king Archer likes me more than his other wives, then I don't know about that because he doesn't treat me nicely one bit; he maltreats me at any little opportunity he gets. Then how could he possibly like me more? What is King Theo saying? Even if it's true, how did he know? "See, Pearl, I know that Archer doesn't treat you nicely, and to be honest, you deserve a better partner than Archer; break the vows you made with Archer and marry me, and I promise to make you my only queen, you know that I am ye
We got back to Guham after a long hectic two-day's journey. I quickly retreated out of the chariot, not wanting to stay any close to King Archer at all; I decided to go to my room instead, as I had not seen it for days now. I got into my room to see it empty. I lay on my really soft bed. I have missed it a whole lot and wish to come back to it. Staying in that room with King Archer will be disturbing, especially now that he is acting strange; he said he would let me go once I get better from whatever he thinks might be wrong with me, and I think I am strong enough to leave his room, he needs to release me. I stood from my bed and walked to my crystal clear mirror, looking at the reflection of my freckled skin in amazement; how did those maids do the magic of covering it up so that nothing was showing at all!? "My queen, you're back!" Sage Squealed as she ran to me and almost hugged me when she realized herself and bowed, still looking excited. I was really happy that she missed me
A knock came on the door, which was opened almost immediately, revealing Sage; I smiled on seeing her as she bowed. "My queen, the king said you should come over for dinner with your friends," she said as I nodded. "I love the sound of QUEEN," Seren whispered clumsily as I chuckled lightly. "Let's get going for lunch. I am famished," I said as I swung my legs off the mattress. "And I am nervous," Rosamund said as we headed out. "Same here; I am sure your Co-wives have an attitude," Seren said as I nodded slowly, looking forward to the hallway. "You both just have to act boujee and respect yourselves; talk only when you are talked to," I said, knowing the kind of bladder mouths I have as friends. We got into the dining room to see only the king sitting at the extreme middle chair where he always sits; Zinnia and the rest are yet to come out. My besties and I sat at the far end of the king; I didn't want to get too close to the king just yet to avoid weird moments. "Pearl, come
"We have been waiting outside here for hours to get a chance to sneak in, but we haven't even seen any possibility of entering; this task is so difficult to be done in two days!" Zuko, the head guard, muttered as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I am famished, and I don't think we brought enough food to sustain us while this mission lasts," one of the guards said as he yawned tiredly. "We have to be serious with this task. We all know what King Theodore can do if we come back without the queen; we must keep our eyes focused to achieve this… No sleeping!" The head guard shouted at the already sleeping fat brunette guard, who immediately jerked up, making the rest of the guards laugh out loud. Queen Zinnia walked into the kitchen as all the maids turned to see her, and they all bowed in Surprise at seeing her in the kitchen. She doesn't have any business with the kitchen as a queen, so it was shocking to see her in the kitchen. "My queen, do you need anything? Did a maid delay
Sage walked into her mistress's room with a kettle of hot water but didn't find Queen Pearl; she sighed as she went inside the bathroom to mix the bathing water. "Why couldn't she just wait for me to come? I am sure she has gone to see her friends," Sage sighed as she headed to the guest room. She got to the guest room entrance and knocked. She opened the door to see the two friends sitting on the bed with smiley faces. She could tell that they had been gisting their hearts out, but her mistress wasn't there with them. "Uhm… I am sorry for disturbing your moment; I just came to ask if you have, by any chance, seen queen Pearl?" Sage asked as they both shook their heads. "She is supposed to be in her room, or isn't she there?" Seren asked as Sage nodded slowly. She was becoming scared already "maybe she is in the King's room," Seren added as Sage nodded, not sure she would be there because the king had a woman with him. She trailed to the king's chamber, and knocked; almost immedi
"Wait! seriously, Zinnia, you really helped Prussiate wardens take Pearl away? How could you do that? What if you were caught in the act, or what if they find out it's you!?" Fox yelled as Zinnia rolled her eyes. "That would only happen if you tell them, if not that… No one can know" Zinnia sighed and turned to see if anyone was coming. She had stopped by to talk to agent Fox about the next plan after the King had sent them all out. "Look, Fox, I will have to go into my room now before we get caught together but make sure to tell me about the King's plans if he tells you about them," Zinnia said and slammed her door shut. Agent Fox was so pissed with Zinnia; that wasn't part of his plans at all, but Zinnia was so impatient to wait for him to strike; now he had to think of a new plan to get Zinnia's wish done faster and better. He helps Zinnia a lot with her plans in order to get the side fvcks he gets after losing Zinnia to the King, and he knows that he might also lose her to the
Lady Ann rushed into Pearls room as she has been hearing the disturbing cries of the baby, seeing the puzzle in Pearl and the king's eyes she hurried towards them taking the baby from Pearl seeing the baby's sudden change of color her heart ached the baby's crying voice was growing louder by seconds and she understood the pains the little girl was going through. "Lady Ann, you have cared for babies before and I am sure you understand wherever my baby is going through right now, please tell me so that we can find a solution immediately. I can't watch my few hours old baby crying more than an adult would!" Pearl said in a pleading voice as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Pearl she will be fine once the doctor comes, she has a heart problem but don't panic she will be fine" Ann assured as she caressed the baby warmly. Pearl fell on her bed devastated by her baby's situation as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably "isn't she just too young for all these…" She whispered calmly as
I was roughly handled out of my room, walking through the hallway I sighted King Archer at the corner addressing some guards he turned to me but didn't react in any way. Their grip was just so hard that I felt unbearable pain, getting outside of the castle they threw me roughly to the ground as the crowd gasped… Yes, the People of Guham came to witness my ritual and I could see pity in the eyes of most of them. I sat on the floor weakly as tears streamed down my cheeks, I was scared of whatever task they would give to me because their approach wasn't peaceful at all. "Before we begin the ritual we would like to plead to the queen to endure whatever task she would be given, this is a peaceful ritual and every one of us has gone through it so please do not see it as punishment" one of them said which I didn't react to knowing how weak I was already. "The King has the right to stop us from performing the ritual with the Queen" The queen with pixie blonde hair said as I followed her ey
It's been three months after the death of Zinnia and Fox and the 8th month of my pregnancy, my pregnancy was almost due and I was getting more stress from it every passing day, my mood swings became worse to the extent that King Archer stays with me at least seven hours per day, My hunger for weird food became even worse I was gaining much weight and having lots of stretch marks around my belly and my laps, I noticed that King Archer no longer tries to get close to me that much because of his hatred for stretch marks. I sat at my balcony as the cold refreshing breeze blew my hair around. I had tried my very best to calm and free my mind from stress and Lady Ann and her son's helped me with that. I and Lady Ann became closer each passing day and her son's became free with me to the extent that they spend more time with me than their mother. Lady Ann was so fast in moving on and forgetting her loving husband and I admired her for that knowing that I won't recover quickly if anything h
"Archer, you're not serious right now?" I asked as tears already smudged my view. "Well, yes I am not serious" He said bluntly as he smirked on seeing the tears in my eyes. "You look so annoying when you cry…" Even if he has a slut with him I do not have a say over it, he is King by the way. "You should stop joking in such a manner" I said in a smile wiping off my tears. "Hence you ain't coming to my room with me good night then" he said turning towards the hallway exit, I was lucky that my room was in same hallway with Lady Ann which means that I don't have to stress myself walking down the stairs "just bare in mind that you are going to be occupying Zinnia's room from tomorrow" He announced as I signed deeply. Now he wants me closer to him, this time I won't be able to avoid him at all and I will be far from my new friend Lady Ann. * * I batted my lashes steadily from the brightness that shone to my face and the noises I heard around me as I opened my eyes to see the maids t
I stared at her with distaste and a frown that I couldn't hide as two teenage boys came down from the second chariot which made me even more surprised. What's going on here! Who is this Lady and why is she here with her kids? Does King Archer have a family that no one knows about? "Yes, Pearl meet Lady Ann She is my elder brothers wife" He announced as my eyes shone in shock, I never thought of Prince Ray's family all these while "And here are her son's Charlie and Liam" King Archer said pulling them into his arms, they where indeed handsome and I could see Prince Ray in them, They look alot like him! I was so dumbfounded as I turned to the smiling face of the Lady, I suddenly felt bad for giving her such a long face even before she was introduced. Her wrinkled eye bags were so red and slightly swollen which shows that she has cried a lot, she must have been through a lot lately. "Hello Queen Pearl, nice meeting you, I have heard lots of amazing things about you and I must say I a
Days past turning into weeks and King Archer wasn't still back, I had waited for him but still no signs of him coming back. I fought all negative thoughts and didn't want to believe that he was in any form of trouble as I lay on the bed with my eyes focused on the ceiling and my ears listening to all the advice from the midwife, I must say… Ever since a midwife was appointed to me the pregnancy process has been quite easy with the exercises she made me do and all. Most importantly the cravings were now better cared for. "My Queen, I'm done here for today, I will see you tomorrow" The midwife said, lifting her fat body from the couch as she bowed and headed out as I turned to Sage who stared at me with a smile on her lips. "So my Queen, I made this special lemonade for you and I am sure you will love it after tasting it" she said as she made to the glass jug on the table pouring some contents out of it into a fragile glass cup. My attention wasn't exactly on the lemonade she was ab
I turned to King Archer and the look on his face was out of the world, he was obviously confused but at same time he found the young man's words funny as he cleared his throat slightly raising his eyes to the young man who didn't seem scared or worried by the look King Archer gave him. "Young Man, I don't think you know the man you're dining with right now, it would be better for you to come back to your senses and tell me what I want to hear!" King Archer yelled not too loud as veins sprouted out of his forehead which normally happens when he is provoked. The Young man seemed serious with his words and wasn't a bit threatened by King Archer's angry voice, every bit of the drama was equally getting me confused because remembering the story Prince Ray told me about their mom, she should be probably dead by now because she was sent out of the castle with nothing and wounds from delivery… So what's this young man saying? "Your mother was never dead, long story short she was helped by m
King Archer was so shocked by her request as he couldn't help but look into her beautiful eyes as if he could read her mind through it but all he could see in her eyes was sincerity. Right from the day he took over Pearl he knew how much she hated him and never wanted sex from him because of his aggressiveness and possessiveness, oh yeah he never had sex with her for her to love it he had sex with her because of his pleasure and because he owned her body and can misuse it just the way he wanted, King Archer isn't known for making love yeah he never enjoys it, he loves when his women beg him to pull off. He could remember when Pearl would cry begging him to pull off and at the end of it all she won't be able to walk well but he was surprised that Pearl was really asking him to make love to her and she was bold enough to ask for a gentle sex which he knows deep down he can't offer. Archer couldn't help but scoff at his thoughts of actually fucking her ass till it turns red inste
"Come on Pearl don't cry, tears won't make him rise from his death please just relax" Archer said walking towards me with a worried Expression written on his face, he was clearly affected by his brother's death but as usual he acted strong. I slumped on my bed with force which affected my belly a little but the pain of losing the one person that makes this castle less boring for me didn't let me think of my belly pains. I was feeling the same pain I felt when I lost my parents. I couldn't just bear it, just earlier today I was with Ray talking and laughing and now he is dead. Why is it so easy to lose loved ones… His death was slowly bringing back the memories of how I lost my parents, that wasn't a good sight at all, yeah I didn't mourn them the way I should but I know how much it affected me mentally. I heard the banging noise of the door for me to realize that King Archer had gone, he definitely was irritated by my tears and all but seriously it's not easy to just let the memor
