The King stared into my eyes with so many expressions written on his face I couldn't point out; I was scared and, at the same time, enthusiastic to know his final decision. "We are keeping the child," he finally said as all the Queen's gasped in Surprise while prince Ray beamed. I wondered why prince Ray wanted the baby and why he was supporting my interest. "No, my king, you can't accept the baby! She and her baby will be a distraction to your territory," Zinnia yelled. I could see the jealousy in her eyes and the anger in her voice. None of them had given the king a child, and here I am, barely staying, but I am already pregnant. I understand her fear. I am sure she is scared of losing the king's attention. The King glared at her with his flaming hazel eyes as he dimmed his gaze, obviously burning in anger again. "Zinnia, how dare you try to question my order, huh!?" The kind yelled as he walked towards her and held her neck so tight that I thought she would die. Prince Ray st
"My queen, are you okay!?" A guard rushed in and hurried to me with panic in his voice; he must have heard the sound of the breaking cup. Sage rushed in almost immediately, looking terrified. "I am so sorry, my queen, I totally forgot to take the cup away… The king will kill!" She panicked as the guard knelt down and picked up the cup pieces. "My queen, you're bleeding!" She yelled in shock, and fear filled her voice as she stared at my wound. "I will quickly go get the aid box before the king notices it," the guard said and hurried out before I could say a word. "My queen, I am so sorry for my carelessness. I am ready to be punished. Just please forgive me," Sage cried as I sighed. "There is nothing here; it's just a small cut that doesn't hurt much," I said, frustrated by the so much care. This kind of cut never freaked commoners like me out, we literally licked the blood off, and it's done, but here they are, panicking as if I fell from a high mountain. The king walked in ge
"Fox, I feel like you're siding with the new wife," Zinnia glared angrily at agent Fox, King Archer's personal adviser. She had gone to his room, as usual, to collide with him on the issue of Pearl's pregnancy; she was so jealous that she couldn't help but talk to her only friend in the castle, Fox. "Come on, Zinnia, there is no way I'm supporting another woman when I have you here. I am just saying that it's too early to do anything; it would be better if we watch her and the king and see how their relationship is going… Think about it, torturing the pregnant queen so early will make the king suspicious, and he will have to bring more eyes to watch and guide her, but if we wait for her to stay for a month, at least anything that happens to the king won't really be suspicious because she has stayed long and might know her way around…if I am making sense" he said as smile curved Zinnia's lips, "you're always making sense my love" she said and pecked his lips " I was just scared of los
King Archer kissed the horny sexy slut as he quickly pulled out from the kiss staring at her disgustingly; she wondered why the king was acting that way as she smiled and made to pull the king again as he yanked her hands off angrily, making her hands turn red. She didn't taste as expected. Her lips didn't taste as she looked. Her mouth was sore, producing disgusting saliva! She is sexy and attractive, but she is the first woman that caused distaste for the King. "Leave this room now!" The king yelled in a fury; she could see the anger in the king's eyes and his echoing voice as she quickly wore a few clothes and ran out of the room. Zinnia, on coming out of her room, saw the trembling lady running out of the king's room sensed that her night out with the king didn't end well, she wanted to go in and know what had happened, but she knew that the king would transfer aggression to her and no one ever wants to be the king's prey! The King was so angry as he quickly rushed to the bath
I was so sad seeing my friends being whipped like slaves; I was sure they came to see me. "Hey, you! Stop whipping them. Can't you see that they are women!?" I yelled, running over to them. "My queen, please, I would like for you to leave this place now. This isn't your business," the head guard said authoritatively, nearly making me scared, but I had to act boldly to save my friends from that torture. "If you whip them again, you will have to whip me too!" I said as they all turned to me in shock. Rosamund and Seren gave me that look of 'what are you doing?' But I ignored their gazes and stood my ground, Making up my mind to make them whip me too. "What are you doing here, Pearl!" The King's cold voice came from behind, Making me cringe in fear, and I turned to see him coming with one of his guards. He had no expression written on his face, but I could tell there was danger behind that look. I suddenly lost my voice as his presence was intimidating me. I don't know if telling t
Pearl Woke up the following day with a bad headache that made her eyes hot; her mind drifted back to what Sage had said in the night about the king being angry with her, which made her heart jump. It was morning, and soon she will be called upon to answer the king, who knew the king's plan with her. She swung her legs out of bed and made her way to the window as she pulled the blinds up, staring at the Guham Kingdom where she grew up; she can never walk freely ever again. "Good morning, my queen. You woke up quite early today," Sage said as she kept my cup of coffee which was recommended by the doctor as she had said. Let's say, I woke up early because I slept in fear. I ignored her and went to clean my teeth. On coming back, I met her still standing as expected as I sat on the couch and raised the coffee to my mouth. "No edibles for me today?" I asked as I sipped from the coffee. "The King is eating in the dining room with his wives today," she said as I nodded slowly. He has
It's been three months of my stay in the castle, and I was gradually getting used to not seeing my friends and the royal rules. The King hasn't slept with me lucky enough, but I see sluts and the Queen's coming out of his room almost every night or correctly, every night. I could bet how lucky I am that the King hasn't slept with me yet, but still, I was surprised; he always threatened to sleep with me anytime he wanted, and I was expecting it ASAP. I had made up my mind to receive him, but here I am, 3months past without having sex with the king. I am sure that the day he remembers me, it would be worst than just sex. My pregnancy was three months old and was already visible, getting more enormous and more stressful by the day, and I noticed my sudden change of attitude. I over-ate and was easily annoyed and irritated. I remember slapping the King a few weeks ago for barging into my room without knocking. I didn't just know how it happened, but it happened so fast, but luckily h
I was done painting as I stared at the work with a smile on my face; it turned out better than I expected! "My queen, you're awesome! I mean, I can never paint without the person taking a pose for me or something, but you just did!" She was so excited that it reflected in her eyes "it's so rare for a queen to have such talents; Queen's are known to be served all their lives, but I guess you're a better queen," she said as she traced her hands through the painting " and the most incredible part of it all is that the painting doesn't look like a regular painting… Wow!" "You can take the credit" I smiled and left the chamber. At least I made someone happy today… "My Queen, the King, seeks your presence in his chamber," a guard hurried to me as I was about to enter my room. Thank God he didn't see me, but what does he want from me because he hasn't said anything to me since the slap? I nodded to the guard and walked back to the King's chamber; I entered inside to see the other queens
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
