Stranger To King 11
Once I was done with Hazel, we returned to Felix, who awaited my return. “Sorry to keep you waiting, my lord. I had to make sure I was presentable for you.” I said as I bowed. He chuckled and stated he was a patient guy. Good because I like to take my time. We headed for the garden for some peace.This is the last stop for my date with Felix. As we strolled along, my servants were watching closely, especially Hamon. Why are they always getting suspicious of everyone? We always stopped by an old apple tree with a swing.“Are you strong, my lord? If so, can you give me a push?” I demanded. He didn’t hesitate for a second as he gently pushed me.“What are you planning to do when queen, your highness?” I couldn’t see his face, but the tone sounded severe.Just like I told Matthew, I plan to change for the better. “I want to expand the kingdom to different parts of Africa. But I have to start small, so I am already in the process of combining with Pervia. Yuli and I are making arrangements

Hazel was impressed by what I said. Mikhal came out of nowhere, scaring us. We nervously looked at each other, thinking he may have heard the conversation. Hamon came rushing in with the first aid kit, with my brother behind him.“What happened?? Hamon is freaking the heck out. He almost destroyed the kitchen for the med kit.” Jabrel said as he plopped down on the bed.Hamon took some ointment and rubbed it on my burn. That tea was hotter than hell and burned a hole through my favorite skirt. Once changed, I stood up and checked it in the mirror. I can tell people it is a battle scar. I headed to the throne room to pass the time as I waited for Anisel.I can’t believe I will be picking my mate tomorrow. If I stick to Yuli’s plan, I will rule by myself. Jabrel followed me to the room for company. “You look good up here, sis. I will be a very proud brother once they crown you. I am now pronouncing the next ruler of Satia, Queen Mia Robertson! That sounds nice, doesn’t it?” he said as he

Everyone had a fun dinner. Anisel made my parents smile for a long time. After the delicious meal, I wanted to walk before my date with Anisel was over. I have to take every advantage I can. The more alone time with him, the more I get to know him.My parents initially hesitated because it was getting dark, but they agreed as long as my servants were with me. I took Anisel's hand as we dashed out of the back door. When we got outside, his face was completely red. "Umm, princess... your hand. You can let go now." He said nervously.I quickly snatched my hand away when I realized it. I covered my face and walked ahead; Anisel joined my side with red on his cheeks. "Are you nervous?" I asked him as I swiped my face.“About what? The ball?? Not at all.”“What if you don't get picked??” I said. He stopped me in my tracks and glanced my way. The look gave me chills as he asked if I wanted him to get picked. Was he teasing me?? Out of nowhere, he steps closer to where our noses touch. He ask

~ Anisel ~She knew we were innocent from the start. Then why go through the trouble of killing us?? I lifted my arm to wrap it around her shoulders. To feel her energy and how genuine she was made me blush. Deep within my heart, I wanted to protect her at all costs. But I have a mission, and I need to stick to it.These feelings make me feel strange. My mind is telling me to stop what I am doing and confess. Mia is making me want to tell the truth. To tell her the real me– am I falling for her?? When I looked into her eyes, they sparkled like stars. We leaned in; however, she tilted her head as something caught her attention.“Excuse me?” she said with an irritated voice.I turned to where she looked, and my jaw dropped. What the hell are they doing here?? Why are they coming towards us?? “GUARDS!” I yelled out. They came rushing immediately in. Hamon and Hazel drew out their swords.“I mean no harm to the princess, I swear. I didn’t mean to ruin your moment as well. I want to ask if

~ Mia ~The following day a knock woke me up from my well-deserved sleep. So, I covered my head and turned around until the door creaked. "Good morning, my lady. It is time to get up as you need to get ready for the ball.” He said with a smile. Hamon came in right after him. They both were excited today.As for me, I wasn't. This day needs to skip forward where I become queen. I didn't want to meet my future partner. I know my mom will pick the worst possible noble, like Felix. Hamon walked toward my bed and snatched the covers.“Today is not the day to be laying around, your majesty. We need to get things ready before the ball. Like your gown, for example. I heard it is beautiful, just like you.”“Do you really need me to get it? I want to sleep more so I can have energy for the ball. Where I give up my freedom.” I pulled my covers back. They know everything will change at this moment. I don’t want to do this. Suddenly, another knock came at the door.“Don’t think about it that way,”

~ Anisel ~Throughout the morning, I was fearing for my life. Hazel stood there as I paced up and down the room. Joshua was in bed minding his own business. “The day has come. What if I don’t get picked?? Then what!!! We would be so fucked!!” I shouted.“First of all, chill before you break something. Second, if you don’t get picked, then we will have to steal the crown. But can you do that to your Laura…” Joshua sarcastically said.Since yesterday, Joshua and I have been at each other’s throats, mainly when I talked about my feelings for Mia. That day went so badly. “Don’t start with me, Joshua. Today is not the day for your childish acts.” I told him. He needs to get out of his feelings and be happy for me.Something wiggled out of his mouth before he put the cover over his head. I knew Hazel was uncomfortable because she hurriedly left the room to get my evening clothes. I sat down at the window to clear my mind, and Joshua popped back up to tell me don’t mess up. How? We got one s

Yes!!! I am so happy they were chosen, but does it have to be them? How am I supposed to choose?? Two handsome guys standing in front of me with two different souls. They stood back up and looked at me with loving eyes. I couldn’t breathe; I needed to compose myself quickly. So, I stood up from the throne.“You guys will show me your strength and loyalty as I evaluate your overall personality. In the next couple of weeks, we will see who will become victorious to be king.”Everyone cheered as they raised their glasses up high. The list got small enough that I didn't want to choose this time. The night went perfectly. We all had a good time.The following day I got woken up by sunlight in my eyes. Why did I pick this room again? I yawned while opening my eyes to see Hamon fixing the curtains.“Good morning, my lady. How did you sleep?” He walks over to the bed, pulling off the covers with ease. Come on; I can't rest for a second. I don't have a chance as my schedule has been filled up f

I collected myself after that mishap. We took our things and headed back into town. “Are you sure that you are okay, my lady?” Mikhal asked in a worried tone. I was fine, I think. This situation shows you; you can’t trust anyone— not even friends. As we walked along, a crowd of people surrounded a particular area. I quickly ran to see what was the problem. Squeezing my way through, I ordered Hamon to move people aside. I couldn't believe my eyes as one of my royal guards was on the ground– bleeding. Mikhal and Hamon went to get help. “What happened?” I asked around. “A suspicious person was walking around here. When I tried to ask questions, they attacked out of nowhere.” They? Mikhal and Hamon returned with some guards, and they attended to the injured. It seemed like we had an outsider in the kingdom, which is highly unacceptable. “HAMON! Get the best guards and find whoever is responsible for this incident. I want them to be brought to me.” I ordered in an aggressive tone. The

~ 4 years later ~I was sitting in my office doing paperwork when someone knocked on the door. "Your majesty, you have company," Hamon said as he let the person in. It was Joshua, who looked like he had seen a monster."You okay? You need to sit down?"He stood there depressed. When he opened his mouth, nothing came out when he saw his brother enter. "Umm, did I interrupt something?" he asked. I shook my head and told him to continue his work. Joshua made no eye contact whatsoever and then crossed his arms. Is this a joke? I didn't have time for this until I saw blood on his uniform. I got up so quickly to the point I hurt my hand."Joshua Dean, did anything happen today? Your uniform is stained— with blood. You must tell me the truth as you are under oath."Anisel lifted his eyebrow in curiosity. Why was he bleeding and not saying a word? There was a miscommunication near the front gate of the kingdom. That was all he told us, no further details of what happened. We all know multiple

"Your majesty, your majesty... it's time to get up." Mikhal said as he poked me. I toss and turn in the covers then bury my head into my husband's back. I shoo him away as I wanted to get more sleep. "My lady, you can't be sleeping in, you know. Guess what today is?""Leave me alone day?" I told him.There was a slight chuckle from him, then the word coronation came up— I jumped up. Anisel was woken by my sudden action. He asked what was going on as he looked at me with such confusion. When I told him that I was going tobe a queen today, he just smiled.I'm going to be queen. After the wedding, we took some weeks off for our honeymoon. We went to America and had an awesome time. Then a couple more months passed as we got situated. Planning a coronation takes time and effort as we wanted certain people to come. Then certain actions must be taken in order to continue on.It took about 10 months after the wedding to make this day happen. I got up and began to wash up a little. We had br

~ Wedding Day ~"Hurry up! Get her ready!" Mikhal shouted at the workers who were running around.“You are sweaty. Relax, my lady.” Hamon said as he handed me a napkin. I can’t relax as today is my wedding day!! It is finally here!!! And I am so excited!! After months of preparation and crying, we have made it through it all. I can't wait to be with him and rule this kingdom together. Hamon patted my forehead.Yuli helped me with the gown, and Mikhal kept yelling at people to look alive. This day better be perfect, or I will snap. Once everything was done, I started in the mirror. “When I leave this palace, I will no longer be single. I would be a married woman.” I smiled.Everyone gathered around me and prayed. This atmosphere was different and lighter than before. The smile never left my face as we headed out. I can’t wait to see Anisel at the chapel. I fan myself as I didn’t want to ruin anything. “Someone help. I can’t control my emotions.” I whined."Get a hold of yourself, Mia.

~ Mia ~The politicians debated, and cheers roared throughout the kingdom as they declared the dethronement of my parents. The light shines through the dark clouds as people toss their arms. My mother fell to her knees, distraught. We won!! WE WON!!Tears began to flow down her face, and being the caring person, I went to her side. I bend down, “did you think you would have taken over? What were you trying to accomplish??” I said.“You will never know the true pain of this kingdom. I kept the peace! I did what I had to do for it to fall in line. You marrying a peasant was out of the ordinary! I wouldn't give up my kingdom to someone who didn't understand!! I did what was best for my family!!”“You were blind by corruption, and you didn't see the people you hurt. You killed the innocent to bring balance to this broken place. You even tried to kill us, Mother. YOU weren't fit to be queen since the day you were born!! This wasn't home; this was prison!!” I shouted.Jabrel and Anisel stoo

~ Anisel ~We were in a stampede as we marched. Our speech had everyone as one and gave energy to those who needed it. The kingdom was in our sights; Mia and I paused our movements as we stared at the entrance. Guards were standing there with swords drawn.Jabrel and Mia walked forward. “Stand down; as your prince and princess, we order you to stand down!” Mia said in a threatening tone. The guards didn’t budge as they don’t take orders from them anymore. Mia and Jabrel were dethroned. The king ordered this action.THE KING?!?! I knew it. I knew he couldn’t be trusted. He was trying to get informa— “You heard them. Stand down.” Mia’s father said. Wait— wait— what the fuck?? If he didn’t order that, then who did?A voice came from above; it was Matthew. That son of a bitch is wearing the royal crown. "YOU SICK OF A BITCH!!" I shouted at him. The family turned to me in fear. I never raised my voice like that, but it was the reason."As the guards said, you don't bark orders anymore. I d

We annoyed the guards by repeatedly saying to let us go. I did promise them nothing is going to happen if we band together. My mother can't destroy us all. This time I will protect my citizens. The guards looked at me like I was insane for this plan, but they trusted me.They still couldn't let us go, and that is okay; because during transfer, we would riot. Everyone else agreed, and we discussed the plan. In the end, Anisel and I will be getting the throne back and defeating my mother. As the night rose on us, “You and this planning things come easy, huh?” Anisel said as he pulled me close.“Perks of being a student of a leader. I got it from my parents. But I use that power for good.”"I wish we could spread the message more than in this kingdom. We need to grow in size. Who knows what your mother can do." Anisel was right. We need more people than the kingdom's citizens. We need that one voice to carry the word around. I lay on my boyfriend’s lap to think more.My eyes glanced forw

She threw her kids in jail— HER KIDS!! What kind of parenting is that?? Just because she wants to marry someone right for her. Ugh! Whimpers and cries were heard throughout the large cell. They threw us back into Satia Prison.The queen knew about the escape plan because of that no-good piece of shit, Matthew. I peeked at Mia, who was clinging to me like a koala. Her head was down, staring at her legs. Jabrel stared at the window, and there was no sign of Joshua and Hazel. “Mia, are you okay?” I asked her. She looked up at me with puffy eyes.“Yeah, I’m fine as long as I’m with you.” She smiled. I missed that beautiful smile and that face of hers. I couldn’t believe she risked her status for me– for someone who did wrong in the past and tried to do wrong now. Once you are in love, then there’s no breaking that bond you built. I brought her closer, and I wrapped my arms around her. Jabrel came over to us, looking heartbroken. His eyes were puffy as well, and his face was red. I felt aw

“Anis–” I got interrupted by Matthew who took a hold of my arm. He yanked me towards him and everyone was on their feet in shock.“You are supposed to be in that cage along with your brother! Why are you in our presence at this moment?” he shouted.The steam from his ear began to form. Anisel had this smirk on his face like he won something. When he stepped forward, guards went to seize him. They burst through that door with all of their force. Joshua hid behind some people and Lily backed up. My family stood in front of me except for Jabrel.“YOU HAVE NO RIGHT BEING HERE AS YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO OUR KINGDOM! BE GONE! JUST DIE!” my mother shouted from the top of her lungs.I was held back by Matthew, who had the tightest grip on me. I said ouch but he ignored my pain. Anisel stood his ground as he fought back with my mother, father, and Matthew. I began to get loose from his grip to push through my family barricade. Their faces were priceless.My father held my wrist to stop me from ma

As we approached the chapel, a stage was set up for people to watch the brothers' death. My stomach dropped to my legs. I couldn't believe my mother would do this. We got escorted inside and to our spots. What are we going to do!! My hands got sweaty as the clock ticked by. Mikhal takes out a napkin to wipe them off."My lady, your makeup is going to be ruined. All you have to do is wait. Everything will fall in line." He stated.I don't know if his words will comfort me this time. That's when Hamon gently took me by my shoulders and made me look up in shock. He moved up and then down to indicate breathing. I have been paranoid since my mother put them on death row."No matter what, your majesty, we, your servants, will always be by your side. Marriage or no marriage, queen or no queen. Mikhal and I will serve you until beyond the stars." Hamon told me.Now those are the words I wanted to hear. These two have been by my side since I was born. The old geezers raised me and taught me mo
