Chapter 27 His mistake.He couldn't take his eyes off his Queen immediately she stepped out of the decorated palanquin. Even without trying, she managed to steal his breath for a while. He couldn't take his eyes off her as the priests spread the white rose petals on her path towards him beside the figurines of both Nati and Natalí. He had to hurry up after his conversation with Valtar to get to the temple before her.The images of her fighting those assassins flashed through his mind again and he couldn't help but grin at the beautiful and special woman whom Natalí granted him. The priests continued leading her towards him and he took his time to take in her appearance. It was the first time he would see her in broad daylight after all. All her body was covered in her lime green wedding gown. Even her neckline which the dress couldn't reach was covered with her large emerald neckpiece. As covered as she was, he couldn't help but imagine himself unwrapping her like a present. He strai
Chapter 28 hmmmm your majesty?.“ The king is kissing me” A distant voice in my fuzzy head whispered as his lips claimed mine hungrily. The alcohol in my body was out before I could blink. His lips were unbelievably soft and I couldn't help but put my hands at the back of his head to have more access to fucking intoxicating lips. I was a little bit embarrassed when a soft moan escaped from my lips. The kiss was everything I had never experienced before, so sweet and savory, a little bit demanding but pleasurable.He broke the kiss after we both ran out of air. I stare at him under my clouded lashes to see his face tinted with a bright shade of pink.“ Hmm, your majesty? Are you kissing me?” I asked trying to hold back my blush, but the thought got me more excited than I expected. The questions I asked were the most senseless thing but I couldn't help myself from asking, maybe it was the alcohol speaking or he was just driving me nuts.“ Shut your pretty mouth before I do it for you,”
Chapter 29 Pure madness.“ Are you sure?” he asked me for the thousandth time after breaking each kiss. My answer never changed, I knew I wanted him as much he wanted me to. The way he asked for my permission made me want him more, it was a fresh start after being abused by Patrick sexually for years. He took my permission before removing the rest of my see-through underwear. Even as I lay naked under him, he wouldn't touch me without my permission.From his gaze, I could tell how much he was holding back from just ravishing me wildly but he had to ask for my permission now and then. After kissing me to his satisfaction, he kissed every one of my scars without asking any questions. I have a vague idea that he knew about i how got them but chose not to talk. He removed every one of his ceremonial robes revealing that chiseled chest and toned stomach that got me swooning instantly.Is it weird that we were about to make love in broad daylight or it is normal? Well, scratch that! I woul
Chapter 30 Here we go again.I couldn't open my eyes even though the sun was directly on my face. I was too embarrassed to face the man lying on the bed beside me with his hands wrapped around my body like a tentacle. It was the best night of my life, no doubt but I wasn't sure about how the mighty King Treven would react once the haze of lust disappeared.Would he chase me out of his room coldly like the icy prince he is? No. Why? Because I'm now his Queen, not some cheap prostitute. But he can be unpredictable sometimes and the man has mood swings that could rival that of three different women on their monthly flow at the same time.“ Your majesties, Your bath is ready!” A loud voice called from outside the room Suddenly snapping me out of my insecure thoughts successfully. My eyes remain closed though, if Treven was not awake before, he was definitely now.“ I know you are awake, stop pretending” His deep early morning voice muttered beside me. The sound of his voice did what it do
Chapter 31 The plot.“ Finding our True Queens for Nayaki kings is a blessing and also a curse” He sighed letting go of my body. He stepped out of the pool after rinsing his body. He grabbed a towel and patted himself dry.“ I don't understand, how is it a curse?” I asked trailing after him after rinsing my body too.“ Have breakfast with me, I will tell you then” He said in a requesting manner, he wasn't ordering me just a simple request. I nodded at him positively and he got out of the bathroom with me trailing behind him. He wore a pair of new undergarments from the neatly folded pile the servants placed in a corner of the bathroom, I picked an armless, see-through underwear like the one I wore on my wedding day and I wrapped myself in a robe to get myself ready.The maids already arranged our clothes in the room, I had three options to choose from, a royal blue sleeveless blouse paired with a wide flowery skirt which was more like Traditional Nayaki dressing which would expose my
Chapter 32 The curse and his family.“ I lost my mother when I was a kid, and lost my father later because of the sacred bond between kings and their true Queens” He started with a low voice staring at me deeply with his grey eyes, gauging my reaction. My mouth was wide open as I stared at him with a Confused look.“ I don't understand”“ My mother's body has always been weak and she suffered frail health since her childhood. She journeyed from Ruqgu to Nayak just to receive a drop of Natalí's tears after hearing of its healing prowess. She met my father at the northern gate and it was love at first sight, even with her frail health and on the verge of death, she looked normal and didn't look sick at all. He took her to the Queen mother after learning of her condition, and the tears reacted to her touch before the Queen mother could wield them. That was how they knew she was his true Queen. They got married a few years later after his coronation, she used the tears to heal herself bu
Chapter 33 - Infertility cup of tea.Two months later.Meisi stormed into her Chamber, red-faced with anger. She had just come back from the pavilion of women because the Queen called for a meeting with the consorts. She hated the woman with all her might. She had thought Treven would get tired of his queen and come back to her eventually but that did not even happen. Whispers littered every wall of the palace about the king and his Queen's fun moments in all the walls of the palace, they never got tired of each other. The king wouldn't even visit her Chambers, he would only visit the nursery if he needed to see his children. He visits other consorts but not her and that makes her extremely jealous. She went from being his favorite to being a discarded rag in just a few months. He wouldn't forgive her for trying to swap his daughter with a boy of an unknown origin.And that Wicked shrill of a Queen too, She walks around the palace as if she owned the place. Yes, she heals people at t
Chapter 34 - Thirty-six stratagems...“ You didn't eat dinner with me” I pouted sadly as he entered the chamber with a scowl on his face. He always wore the same expression after every court meeting. His ministers always disagreed with him and he always had to refrain from forcing them with threats. They knew what he was capable of doing yet they kept on testing his nerves. He was obviously in a bad mood and I stood up holding my long white nightgown so I wouldn't trip, that was when I saw a black mass of insects following him. I screamed out and he had to gather me in his arms and cover my mouth with his large hands.“ Calm down Lyn. They are my Hornets” He said calmly and my panic increased tenfold. Hornets? Annoying creatures that sting people badly? He noticed the panic in my eyes and used his strength to prevent me from running away.“ They won't hurt you, Lyn. Be calm”“ Okay I'm calm” I tried to say but his insane large hand was muffling my words. “ I will remove my hand now, p
