Throughout the day, I didn't set my eyes on Sage, and that got me worried. Is there anything wrong with her? Is she sick or something? Because she is supposed to be the one serving me. "Why is Sage not here?" I asked the maid, brushing my hair. "She is no longer your handmaid, my queen. The King made her a kitchen maid because she challenged queen Zinnia," the maid said, keeping me shocked. How could he do such a thing? Sage can't challenge Zinnia; she doesn't have a bad character for sure, so what is this maid saying? Sage is the only maid that knows what I want and would treat me well, and now the king took her away from me!? "So, who is my handmaid?" I asked, hoping she wasn't the one because I didn't like her. "My queen, you do not have a handmaid for now," she replied as I bit my lips in anger. And he kept me without a maid! Now I know the reason he threw me into the dungeon. "Just leave at once," I said as the maid bowed and left, I stared at my already red eye
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
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 min
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 th
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 mis
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. "
"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 mai
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; almos
