Chapter 212
Carmella comfortably sitting on the chair in the living room was beginning to feel like royalty already, she grinned from cheek to cheeks gulping down her anxiety deep under her belly while she tried her best to remain calm, it wasn’t easy staying that calm in the palace especially when you’re unaware of what to expect the next minute, she adjusted her veil acknowledging the fact that Joshua was full of surprises, perhaps he could walk to her this minute and act like they never had a conversation, she shrugged hoping that doesn’t happen cause she could vividly recall the surprised look on Maria’s face when she informed her that the king was expecting her, well who wouldn’t be surprised knowing how well he despises Carmella especially for her guts, she hung her head for a girl, her veil almost dropping from her head when she heard foot steps, she jerked up on her feet without seeing the person yet hoping it would be the king but to her disappointment it

Joshua continued drenching his throat in alcohol, he stood up facing the open window, he watched as it rained heavily, the water hitting rocks outside making loud noises, he could hear the thunder storm raging up in the sky, he hung his head in bitterness, sniffing over and over again, his eyes had turned blood shot and he could barely see clearly since alcohol had soaked deep into his body system, but what does he care? He just wanted to get that burning anger off his chest, he just wanted to get the fact that he had been betrayed by someone he trusted most of his chest and perhaps he would feel a lot more better afterwards, he squeezed his face feeling totally depressed, alcohol wasn’t making things better for him just like he believed it would, it was rather making things worse, he gradually moved over to a seat in the room, staggering left and right, he almost lost hold of the bottle which would have ended up shattering to pieces on the floor but he was fast enough to catch it on

Carmella blinked her eyes severally and finally sighed out loud “have you forgotten, I told you I was coming to the palace today to see you” she remained with her hand over her nose, Joshua turned away from her entering his room leaving his door open, for a second she wondered what to do, enter the room or just stand there, finally she shrugged and followed him into the room shutting the door behind, she gasped when she saw different bottles of alcohol lying helplessly on the floor, her eyes widened and she shook her head in disappointment looking at Joshua who was already sitting on an arm chair staring at her, he could barely see an object clearly “my king what are you doing? Why are you getting yourself drunk like this?” She inquired feeling very concerned but Joshua was quiet, he only looked away and gulped down more content of alcohol down his system “what do you want?” He finally asked in his thick drunk voice.She shrugged “I came to see you, I came to discuss how we can get my

For a couple of hours, queen Emma paced her room thinking of what she just saw, she felt excited about it and at the same she felt fulfilled though she couldn’t understand how it all started, she couldn’t understand why her son kept rejecting Carmella yet he wanted her badly, she sent for Maria at once who answered under few minutes, she turned to her.Maria bowed with her hands comfortably placed behind her “you sent for me my queen.”She nodded “early tomorrow morning, you would go to Zara’s house and send for her, the King’s wedding would be taking place in two days.”Maria’s eyes widened, she couldn’t believe her ears but she possibly couldn’t question the queen either, she only nodded her head.Leonna who was eavesdropping to their conversation standing at the queen’s door gasped and hurriedly tip toe back to her room, she covered her mouth with her palm shaking her head over and over again, she had seen Carmella walk into the palace earlier, for a lot of reasons she felt Carmell

The day had gotten brighter than it previously was, the weather looked a lot more better and pleasant than it was the previous night, the day looked hopeful, filled with goodness to shower down on every living thing but was it so for Joshua who had his hand over his mouth and his other hand placed uncomfortably behind him pacing his mother’s room, he moved from one corner of the room, his face clouded with anger and his eyes red with pain, he couldn’t explain how he was feeling at that moment but he was sure he was burning with fury and couldn’t wait to pour it all on whoever that provokes him more than he already is now especially his mother who doesn’t seem to be making things better for him, she was rather making it worse and most of all he had no control over it at this moment, he felt totally powerless, like he didn’t exist anymore and was no longer the leader of his people, he felt so disappointed in himself shaking his head in regret while biting hard on his upper lip, a tear r

“Well that isn’t for you to decide anymore, the traditions insists that you marry her, any woman that sees the nakedness of the king and sleeps with him must become his wife” she said without any sign of pity in between her voice.Joshua scoffed turning away, he ran his hands across his face feeling totally helpless, he finally turned back at his mother who seemed so ready for whatever answer she wanted to get from her “mother did you put Carmella up to this? You asked her to seduce me didn’t you?”The queen gaped “what the hell are you talking about?”“It’s obvious that you are so excited about what’s going on right now, I don’t understand what type of a mother would be overjoyed at the expense of her own son’s happiness and peace of mind, why would you send Carmella to my room? Why? How could you do this to me mother knowing fully well that I was drunk the previous night?” He cried out with a heavy heart.“Joshua I don’t understand you, why are you blaming me for your own mistake, t

Joshua remained mute, he couldn’t say a word, his mother was right, refusing to marry Carmella means he would be stripped of his royal title, after all in their village it was an abomination for a man to sleep with a woman who he isn’t married to how much more a king, he knew that saying no to marrying Carmella would push his mother into telling the elders what he had done with Carmella and that was a shame he couldn’t stand to bear, people would talk and call the king “a man who can’t control himself” some might even say he raped her, he covered his hand feeling so ashamed of himself and at the same time helpless, his mother was going to make the announcement after all, he just had to keep quiet else everyone would hear of it, he shook his head sadly moving back to his chair, he bowed down his head burying his face on his hands and sobbed like a child, the queen stared at him, she felt so sorry seeing her son so broken but she believed that everything was just happening for his own g

She gnashed her teeth with so much aggression adding more pressure to it which each second that swept by, she pressed her hand backwards against the wall like it was possible to pull the wall backwards so she could find even a little space to run for her dear life but that was totally impossible, she took a quick glance around and then fixed her gaze on Joshua who looked totally different, Carmella could swear that she was seeing a beast standing right in front of her at that moment, never have she seen such look on Joshua’s face, he was always wearing this decent look and now she could understand why she got deceived by it, she also wondered how Diana was able to handle him if this is actually what he looks like when he is angry, at that second a full rush of regrets came wallowing within her, she wished she could move back the hands of time perhaps she could have thought things true and stopped any of this from happening, she bowed her head sadly knowing it was her fault, Joshua was

Leonna walked into the room bowing humbly and in total surprise the queen turned around staring at her “what are you doing here?” She asked sounding harsh.The maiden bowed humbly just like she have been taught to, her mind clouded with exactly where to start from but she just needed to say something “my queen I went to serve the lady her breakfast but she wasn’t answering the door.”Queen Emma scoffed “perhaps you didn’t knock well or maybe you didn’t even knock at all” she turned away from her.“I did my queen, I was about to leave when I heard the king’s voice in her room, it sounded fierce, I think the lady is in danger” she informed.The queen’s eyes flew open, it was possible that Carmella could be in trouble, Joshua left her room very mad with anger, she jerked up from where she was sitting pushing Leonna aside as she walked as fast as her legs could carry her heading down to the room where Carmella was placed, she couldn’t deny how fast her heart was racing at that moment know
