It came, the day King Dacien dreaded the most.
He knew King Nicklaus would wanted what he loves most. His daughter.The Royal table was set, King Nicklaus already seated in his seat waited for his request. The Princess.
He was the most cruelest King in the whole clan. He was feared by all.
Her Royal Highness. A guard said and bowed.King Nicklaus smirked knowing fully well he won, they couldn't say no to his request.
He would have burned down the whole village. If they had said no to him.Hi Mom. Princess Lara said and gave her mom a peck.
They day looks perfect, don't you think so Nicklaus. She said again.King Nicklaus's brow furrowed and he said nothing.
Silence came filling the whole palace. Knowing fully well that she was determined to make King Nicklaus miserable smirked at his reaction.The silence stretched till it reach and end.
You seem to be enjoying this? Huh?? His voice came out thick and Scary. He was pissed.
Yes Nicklaus. It's a good day after all. She said with a shrug.King Nicklaus knew what she was doing, she's daring him. She doesn't know what he is capable of.
King Dacien cleared his throat after a brief silence.
Uhm.. your majesty, let's talk about the wedding. He said in a pleading tone. Lara scoffed unable to hold the anger she's feeling. Why does her father calls him Majesty??He's one too, isn't he?Wedding, I just got engaged today Dad. And you're talking about the wedding. She half yelled and stood up.
At least King Nicklaus would see it, that she wasn't afraid of him.
She stood up and left the table, leaver her Mom dumbfounded.We're sorry your majesty, she isn't feeling well today. King Dacien said.
***************
King Nicklaus sat on his table writing and reading scrolls. That was his normal routine. Either he is writing or reading scrolls.A knock came in.
Come in. He said almost a whisper but it was heard. He doesn't tell just whisper. What do you want Beth? He asked his eyes not leaving the scrolls.I wanted to check up on you. She said lowering her gaze.
Get out. He said his face masked with an unreadable expression.Slowly Beth walked out. She had loved him first and now a Lara is coming to take him.
She would never let that happen.***************
Wow... Princess Lara exclaimed stepping down from her chariot. She was now married, married to the cruelest man alive.She wasn't afraid but pissed.
Pissed about everything. She had promise herself to give him a miserable life.She walked into his room and there he was writing on a scroll.
Hey, your majesty. She said sarcastically.He looked up and saw a grinning Lara.I would prefer it to be King Nicklaus. He said and continued writing.
She sighed and moved to the door.Lara. He called and she turned to meet his gaze.
Strip•••
His voice came huskily and deep.King Nicklaus was a man short of words.What?? Princess Lara yelled.
She scoffed still standing there like a log of wood.He should have known by now, she's not a scary type.
And to strip in front of him is something she would never do even in her next life...There was a brief silence, King Nicklaus looked up and saw a clothed Lara.
Strip°°°
His voice came again but this time very Scary..T. B. C
Written by Evelyn Mba©®©®I won't say it again Lara. He said piercing his eyes with hers. The atmosphere changed, the silence stretched longer than usual.Princess Lara stood, her hands akimbo to know what he was going to do. She wouldn't come here and get intimidated.He mumbled some words and looked up.You're still clothed Lara.Yes, and I don't get why I should strip. Lara almost yelled but keep calm. Richard. He called.A guard came in, he looked rough but gentle too. Take the Princess to my garden and make sure she trims my flowers there very well.What??What a game you're playing Nicklaus. She said and he looked up.You talk a lot Lara. He whispered and sighed...She walked out of his room, strolling behind Richard the guard.She wasn't going there to trim flowers but to see the garden he ta
Written by Evelyn Mba©®©®Lara walked into his room with the glass of wine. He was seated on his usual spot, writing and reading scrolls.Doesn't he get tired. She thought.Nicklaus, what's the Problem? She said and sat down next to him, dropping the glass of wine on the table.He didn't say a thing, he was used to it, being addressed as Nicklaus.They Royal Court will be meeting this evening, and they would love to meet their Queen. He groaned and looked up to see a smiling Lara.What is it? He asked and furrowed his brows.Aren't you tired, you've been writing and reading for hours now. She stated.Are you worried about me? He asked staring hard at her. Nope. She replied.Drink this and get strength. She said and offered the drink.He groaned and took the wine.Did you poison this? He asked glaring hard at her. Who knows. She replied with a shrug
Written by Evelyn Mba©®©®Sing for me, Lara. He growled.Huh? She blinked her eyes.Sing for me. He said again and closed his eyes. She shrug and started the song.She doesn't know what but being with him sometimes often breaks that crazy part in her.She wasn't just singing, she was putting someone to sleep.Making sure nightmares don't come.She opened her eyes and found him, already asleep.She covered him the duvet and moved to the couch.*****It was midnight, Princess Lara tucked herself into her arms and covered the blanket.Minutes later, she heard someone crying real hard.Who could that be? She wondered still on the couch. Then she heard it again, this time the voice was known. King Nicklaus.She sprang up her feet, ran to the bed and held his hands. No, please. Mom, Dad... Please stop.
Written by Evelyn Mba©®©®He claimed her lips...Her eyes widened, she had never been kissed.But here she is been kissed by a man whose touch makes funny things to her inside.He pulled her closer and slowly he was ontop, kissing the life out of her.The kiss was fire, it was hot.She tried to breath but air wouldn't come.Slowly, she gave up and closed her eyes.Letting the kids go far, he stopped and stared at her. Never as he wanted someone like he wants her..What are you doing to me? He groaned and slammed his lips on hers again.Dancing and dropping wet kisses on her body.She didn't make a sound. It was weird for her because she wanted more, more of him.Moans escaped her lips as he nipped on her lower lip.She clamped her mouth shut, this feeling is not something she wants.But he wasn't done with her, his hands went down and pinched her a**.

She smiled and walked around the village with Kali, her Personal maid. Seems you're good mood today, your Highness. She said and smile. Yes, Kali. Am very happy. Princess Lara said.May I know why? She pressed further. Am just happy today Kali, there must not be a reason . She replied with a shrug. You don't want to tell me. Huh! She pouted. You don't need to know, Kali. Lara chuckled. Okay, should I guess. Am good at guessing your Highness. Kali said. Okay, go on. Lara said.There is a bench over there, let's sit down your Highness. Kali said and the both went to sit. So, am guessing you're happy because, the King slept in your Chamber yesterday. Kali said and Lara's cheek reddened. Ohh, Kali what's your P

Followed me there? Why? She asked perturbed. Because you.... FLASHBACKThe drums were heard, flutes played and the Kings of each clan walked in.King Nicklaus hated parties, festivals, anything that included music. He hated it after that night.But he had no choice, it was a tradition that all King's must be present. He walked in and sat on his seat. The festival continued with more music and dancing.He got up and walked outside, he hated the

She said pouting and he chuckled.He chuckled.. He just chuckled. She almost yelled.You just chuckled? She said more like a statement. So what, chuckling is a crime? He asked.No, never thought cold guy could chuckle. She said giggling. Cold guy, Huh?? He said.Yeah, you're too cold. Warm up already. She said pouting again.Okay, I'll try. He said.You.... You'll try. She yelled stuttering.So? He asked.Nothing, am going to the village tommorow. Are you coming? She asked.No, I'll be busy. He said shaking his head.You'll be busy, please Nicklaus.

What a day!!She walked and stopped, glancing at the man by her side. His face masked with an unreadable expression, his two hands curled backward. He just walked along not making a sound. Kali, be careful there. Lara yelled as Kali ran and grabbed her hand. Princess, if you keep walking this way. Am afraid we won't make it to the waterfall. Kali said and dragged Lara's hand. Kali had forgotten, they weren't alone. The King was with them. Kali, look back. Lara whispered to her maid. Oh my.. Kali gasped in dear, she forgot about the King. He was with them, all this time.He will surely punish her. Slowly, she let go of Lara's hand, watching as the King got closer to them. Why did we stop?Aren't we headed to the wa
Written by Evelyn Mba©®©®AN HAPPY ENDINGThree years LaterThe Ray of sun shone in the dark room. Darkness fled... It was another bright day.Slowly Lara yawned and her eyes lid open, scrutinising the whole room.It's morning already. She muttered and glanced at the huge wall clock in front of her. Oh my!! It's 11:45am. She gasp.She tilted her head, her eyes on the man who laid beside her.She smiled, dropping her head on his chest. It's three years now... Since they both stayed in the same room.Before they stayed in different rooms but Nicklaus had insisted they stayed in his room.It's up to three years now.. since she have birth to her beautiful Twin. God, they look so pretty and handsome.It's been three years now.. since she was ordained Queen Officially. She has taken that role and they people love her so much.

Mom, am I pregnant?I mean... Am pregnant. Right? How will I know that without examining you? Queen Belinda rubbed her forehead.But Kelan saw right through me and you can't? She said, taking a seat.Kelan has powers... I don't? She shrug. So, how do we do it? She pouted, her hands on her belly.Okay, first of all... Take off your clothes. Uhh.. my clothes?I should strip? Lara asked and Queen Belinda scoffed.Am your mother not the King who asks you to strip every minute. Queen Belinda teased.Mom... Lara yelled, her cheek crimson red. So, what now? Aren't you taking them off.Lara stood up

She whispered.He chuckled and pulled out of the hug.I love you too.Now, let's go see your brother. He said, smiling. She nodded and they both left.*****Beth walked a long way to the Palace.

Moving tho and fro, he sighed.He had to tell the King about this....*****The TWIN'S of who? Lara asked.The TWIN'S OF GOLDIES. That's what you are both called.

Written by Evelyn MbaKELANThe window creaked, making a lot of noise. The morning was calm.This was another day.A day filled with love and peace.King Nicklaus slowly opened his eyes, looking at the woman before him. Her eyes closed, her hands wrapped around him.And her head on his chest, he has never been this happy and smiling.He pondered on the thought; when last did I laugh?Yes, it was then when his parents were alive. On his birthday, they were really happy.He'd remember vividly, that it was a cool evening.Candles spread out like fireworks.He's garden decorated.He smiled at that thought.He never thought, he could smile again untill she came along.This woman has changed him, she has changed him. He sighed and looked at the clock on the wall.They had slept here for two days now, not moving nor standing. H

Thinking about him brought tears to her eyes.She sniffed and cleaned a tear that was already down. She alone knows her pains.The pain of losing a child, so mysteriously. She remembered everything, everything that happened that day. The time it did and how it happened.She curses herself for not protecting her child, her handsome young boy. That day, she can never forget... FLASHBACKMom, tell Lara to leave me alone. Kelan yelled, running away from her. I'll pull
