I became the king's obsession 52: It doesn't matter anymore.
"Huh?" The queen asked in doubt of Viishaun's statement.The king crossed his arms and raised one of his eyebrows, "What's with that reaction?""Could you repeat it? Had my ears played a trick on me? Do you really think she would accept me as her daughter-in-law?""I may have no idea what my mother is truly like, but I believe she's a person who does not judge a person. Butler Arthur and my lad-in-waiting, his wife who used to work with my mother before always talk about what kind of person she is. Judging from the qualities they said the royal consort possessed, she prefers a simple, innocent, and domesticated woman like you.""What? Am I an animal? Tsk! You're so annoying."The king smirked and hid his sly smile while looking at the grumpy look on his wife. "Anyway, what brings you here, grumpy cat?""I decided to roam around since a certain someone locked me in the palace," she replied, still giving a grumpy expression. "How about you? What brings you here?" she added.The king loo

Dressed in a flame red, the queen went to a jewelry boutique. Then, all of a sudden, Aileen heard a familiar mocking tone from a lady whom the queen had an idea who it might be. "Greetings, Queen of Western Allandis." Princess Vermillion bowed her head, leaving a gaze of a slick fox. "It's nice seeing you, lady Vermillion," the queen replied with a dignified look. 'This woman's smug look is irritating, and I think she's up for trouble,' says a voice inside the queen's head as she returned the favor of smiling. "Fancy meeting the honorable queen in this boutique I often visit. Does the queen like this spot too?" Princess Elvira asked. The queen giggled and replied, "I don't know yet since this is my second time." "If you don't mind, I wish you go out more often like you did today, your majesty. I am simply concerned about your social life. The people will misunderstand your presence," Princess Elvira replied. "What sort of misunderstanding, perhaps?" "Are you sure you want to

Although, Aileen managed to hide from the public when she attended twice of her husband's birthday celebrations held in the private palace of the empire with only the royal family, a few aristocrats, and a noble family as guests. Also, during those times, she was in 'illness' mode. Thus the guest did not look for her. She doubted it would be possible this time. It would be impossible to avoid such important events because few aristocrats had known she was not ill anymore. Besides, the party this time will be held in the imperial palace as the emperor's wish.Unlike other noble ladies, the queen need not go to extensive training for her psychic and etiquette since her ladyship had a dignified posture, which she earned from her modeling car back in her original world. The problem arises with her vulgar mouth and way of wearing clothes because she kept going against the standard of 'respectable clothes' for a lady. "Madam, are you truly going to wear this gown?" says Athena while holdin

Viishaun held Aileen's hand, and they left the banquet. On their way to the palace's garden of pink tulips, near the palace's main gate, someone behind them was yelling."Your excellency, are you leaving already? Won't you honor me with a dance?" Princess Vermillion asked."The queen is tired. We're leaving. You can ask an unmarried man out there for a dance," Viishaun replied and left the lady greeting her teeth.On the carriage, none of them were talking. Aileen noticed the troubled look in his excellency's eyes. So, she asked, "Your excellency, is it truly fine to leave the castle? You have not finished the ball and haven't opened the gifts yet.""I don't care about those gifts. Your gift wasn't there. You didn't have anything for me, did you?""I actually brought something for you, but I am not sure if you would like it or not. Hence I hid it in my wardrobe," Aileen replied.The king cleared his throat and scooted a little to fill the gap between them. He caressed the queen's che

"Aileen, why are you still lazily lying on your bed?" says a voice that Aileen is familiar with, but she thought it's impossible unless..."Why am I here?""What do you mean?""Honey, I thought you were getting ready. Have you forgotten?""Huh?" Aileen asked, still confused. She glanced around the room and found a modern-style landscape of houses."We're supposed to go to the church to schedule our daughter's baptism."Suddenly, Aileen felt her heart couldn't function well. She finds it hard to breathe..."What's wrong? Wake up!" She could hear a voice, but it was barely getting on her senses. Aileen fought hard, and as soon as she recognized Viishaun's voice, she abruptly opened her eyes.She looked around and sighed upon realizing everything was a dream. Viishaun shook her shoulder and yelled, "What the hell? Why does your heart stop beating for a split second? You scared the hell out of me."Aileen clenched her clothes next to her chest and asked, "How is that possible? You probabl

The king had finished his business with his trading partner on a new business he was about to establish secretly as an anniversary gift for his wife. However, Princess Elvira entered the room and asked for a few minutes from him."Let's talk outside," says Viishaun as he goes to the balcony. "Make it short and concise because my wife is waiting for me at the carriage.""I'm here to warn you. The empress and the crown prince are plotting to expand their influence, and they want to conquer your kingdom after he ascends the throne.""Now you're showing your true color. You are indeed the empress's lap dog.""I am here to make a deal. I can provide you with the information to defeat the crown prince. I can also lend you a hand to steal the throne, but in return, you'll make me your royal concubine.""Just how shameless can you get? Shall I exile you from my kingdom so I won't see your face ever again?" Viishaun replied with a cold gaze and sharp tone.The king left the room and went back

The queen returned to the chamber and found an empty bed. She thought that the king might be in his office, or maybe he found his action irrational, and now he's reflecting on it.Suddenly, Aileen felt like exploding again. "Holy crap, why do I have to be flustered over that kiss? We've gone far from just a kiss, so why am I acting like this?... Why is my heart beating fast for the real personality of the king?"She bit the pillow and shoveled her face on it. She laid flat on the bed, and glued her eyes to the stuffed toy, then slowly fell asleep.************The queen woke up and was still exhausted. She caressed the bed and noticed that Viishaun's space was neat as if no one occupied it. She jumped off the bed and covered her thin nightgown with a royal maroon robe. On her way to the hot spring, she bumped into Viishaun."G-Good morning, Viishaun. I'm heading to a hot spring to relax my body. Where are you heading to?" Aileen asked to ease the awkwardness crawling between them.A

~knock~knock"Come in," says Aileen without looking at the door."This is the last pile of documents you need to review, madam."The queen tidied the other side of her table to accommodate the additional papers. "Kindly put them here," she said and tapped the top of her desk."I'll take my leave now, madam.""Sure. Thank you," the queen replied.Aileen was busy calculating the expense of the districts and provinces belonging to their kingdom. When she was about to stamp the documents with her royal seal, her eyes caught a glimpse of a flipped tarot card in her drawer. She picked it and recalled Lady Khaleesi."I've given up on reactivating the 'love-bind' spell. I also abandoned the idea of leaving this world. But seeing this card makes me feel anxious for some reason," Aileen mouthed while stamping the documents.Once done with her duty, she placed the seal and stamp back inside the drawer and ensured that the card was safe inside the drawer. She stretched a little and stared at the

Flame Stephan was staring at the family portrait hung on their wall. He heaved a heavy breath at the thought of remembering how he almost thought of breaking off the marriage a week before their marriage, but his fiancee changed into someone else. "It was as if she's no longer Aileen," he murmured to himself. He recalled how their relationship started rosy just like any other couple but turned static and cold as Aileen prioritized her career over him. For him, their marriage was only for the sake of the years they've been together, but one day the lady became innocently sweet. "Buddy, you may laugh at it, but I think I just fell in love deeper with your mom while hesitating to marry her back then. I thought I had fallen out of love, but it looks like we only needed to start a new journey to find our way back to love," he said to a two-year-old son, their third child. He put his son on the sofa and asked, "Who's that cutie in the picture?" Then the baby simply giggled while starin

Side story 00 "My Queen, where's our Alena?" King Alfred asked as he entered the carriage and sat beside the queen. "I thought you fetched her already?" Athena asked. "I thought she was with you," Alfred replied. "Wait here. I'll fetch her," says Athena as she descends from the carriage. She knocked at Alena's room and asked, "My dear, what's taking you long?" Alena turned around and glanced at her mother. "She hasn't dressed yet?" Athena asked the nanny assigned to take good care of the heiress of the western region. "I don't know what to wear, mother. What gown do you think would make me attractive?" Athena chuckled and replied, "You still have four years before your coming of age. Should you be concerned with being attractive at the age of fourteen?" "Of course, mother. I can't show up to the imperial family looking unattractive." "Let's head out now. You don't want to make Vinziel wait that long, do you?" The young heiress looked away to hide her blushing cheeks. Sho

The garden of Allandis imperial palace was packed with invited nobles and aristocrats to celebrate the seventh birthday of the prince. Some guests truly wish to greet the prince, but of course, there is an ambitious family who dreamt of settling close ties with his royal highness' son to gain favor. It is undeniable that social gatherings were one of the paths to the social ladder. Hence, it is like a battlefield instead of an ordinary celebration. Thus, the marquises are on high alert to ensure the safety of everyone. Since the empress is fond of flowers, she decided to use her beautiful garden as a venue for her son's birthday which took her a week to finish the interior, with the helping hands of servants. The table clothes are decorated with the usual embroidered sparkling diamonds attached to the hem of each blue cover, and on top of the tables are gold cutleries and dishware. Those with a vulture eye that captures the unspoken wealth displayed had assumed amassed fortune

The ocean side gives off an impression of being alive and happy with the presence of relaxing vegetation. There are evergreen estates both along and inside the ocean side. Pictures of light ocean growth should be visible along the shore. Palms trees stand tall along the ocean side getting into the rhythm of the breeze radiating from the body of the ocean. Moreover, there are hued blossoms close by, magnificent ones that light up at the sparkling of the mid-year sun. "Look how magnificent the ocean is," says Scheriziel while letting the sun kiss her cheeks. The royal family decided to have a one day vacation, free from all responsibility. However, the little one seemed to dislike the place as the prince plastered a disappointed look. Then, he crossed his arms and furrowed his brows while saying, "This beach again? Can't we go somewhere else, mother and father?" "This place is memorable for us that's why we always visit this place once annually. Don't worry, we're going somewhere els

Scheriziel rested her head on the emperor's chest as they soaked in the hot tub. Then she asked her husband, who was silent and staring blankly at the water. She said, "Are you alright?" "Yes. It's just that I'm quite sad about my old man's demise," Viishaun replied. It was not just the emperor; the whole empire had filled with a heavy heart as the former great leader bid goodbye for eternity. After fighting with his age and ailment, Argus XV left the world. The empress embraced her husband. Then she patted his head buried in her plump chest. She dared not utter a word but comforted him through her acts. "I've been mad at him for years because he has never been a good father to my younger self. I only felt reconnected with him after going back in time." "At least you two had lived well in this second life of ours. I'm sure he is happy wherever he is right now." "Right. I'm glad that my choice in this life turned out fine. At least he gets to see and play with his grandkid," he r

"Let me see your smile for a moment before I do my obligation later, my prince. Your father and I had to take turns to watch over you because we had to finish our duties and responsibilities," says Scheriziel while letting a one-year-old prince play with her fingers. Prince Vinziel giggled when the empress lifted and carried him. Scheriziel sighed and uttered, "We probably should spend more time with you because you will not always be this little. Once you grow older, you'll find your own path, and the time you'd spend with us will get shorter as you age." Someone knocked on the door and asked permission to enter the prince's chamber. "Your majesty, the paper for the foundation you asked for yesterday was waiting for your approval." "One moment..." the empress replied as she left the prince's chamber to visit the former emperor's residency. "Come, my sweet Vinziel," says Argus as he faintly sits on the edge of his bed. "I'll be back to fetch this little sweetie pie, father. He

The empire was filled with joy as the commemoration of the six-month-old offspring of the emperor and empress was currently taking place. As part of the tradition, a royal baby can only be baptized and shown to the public once it reaches six months. "How long will it last? I think our little prince will start crying any moment from now," Scheriziel whispered to her husband's ears. "We're almost back to the palace. Give me our little prince so you could rest your arm," says Viishaun as he gently carries the baby into his arms. He chuckled and added, "He's smiling now. It looks like my handsomeness works on him." "I hate to admit it, but it seems our little prince was quite unfair. How can he always be always in a better mood with you than with me? It was me who had him for nine months, yet he still likes you the most." "That's what you get for always picking a fight and making me run errands," he replied, recalling how hard it was for him to get a peaceful sleep before the little

With the curtains slightly opened, the sun is revealed – shining big and bright right back at the couple awaken by its cozy greeting. Scheriziel slightly opened her eyes as the sun kissed her skin, only to get lazy again at the beginning of another day."Rise and Shine, my life. We need to do a little exercise to prepare you for delivery," says Viishaun, reminding her of things they should do early in the morning. Then he kissed his wife's forehead, down to her nose and lips. "Five more minutes," her ladyship replied, still refusing to open her eyes again.Viishaun sighed and thought he wouldn't force her to take a walk and do a little stretching if it won't help her fast delivery. Scheriziel groaned and uttered, "Fine. You don't have to kick my inside, sweetheart."Viishaun chuckled as he helped the empress sit on the edge of the bed. Then, he took a royal robe to cover his wife."Soon, it will be the three of us walking here to greet the sun and clear sky," says Viishaun, holding
