All Chapters of I became the king's obsession: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Sleep was avoiding Viishaun. His mind is full of thoughts that keep him awake. A happy memory from the past keeps bouncing and pounding his head. He glanced at his window, staring at the moon. "I don't know what's best for you anymore, my Scheriziel. This heart of mine is becoming more selfish as my fear of losing you this time," he muttered, still having his eyes on the full moon."It would be better if you remember the good ones in our past, but I can't force that to happen; if fate itself would not allow it. We can always start fresh. I hope you'll be happy even without those memories," he added.He stood up and walked to the glass garden but did not expect to see a lady shining in the shadow of moonlight. Everything around him moved slowly as the lady turned around. Her long hair sways perfectly that even his heart had swept away.He thought his world had stopped when the lady smiled at him. Her moonstone eyes shone the same light from the moon."Can't sleep?" she asked, walking

"I'll be back later. Thank you for lending me this carriage."Viishaun smiled, and after the lady left, he summoned two ladies in marquis attire."Go after her. Make sure she's safe," says Viishaun as he turns his back and heads back inside the mansion.He secretly raised two ladies as marquise to watch over the lady. Having ladies as a guard is convenient because they can go wherever Scheriziel is, even in public lavatories. He's just paranoid that the lady will be in danger if no one is guiding her. Although the people behind their futile past had a lie six feet below the ground, his anxiety had never left him.Viishaun resumed his work. Later on, he noticed his secretary was acting strange. So he asked, "What is it you hesitate to tell me?""Your excellency, the lady might be offended if she were to discover that you stationed marquise to tail her," the secretary suggested as soon as his excellency asked what's troubling him.People hate the feeling of being watched, he knew that,

"What could be that thing?" she mumbled, heading towards the display. She accidentally removed the cover and was surprised to see a family picture."Is this Viishaun in the middle? The beautiful woman beside the young boy must be his mother?" she muttered as she picked up the silk.She couldn't get her eyes off the portrait while keeping words trapped in her mind. She asked herself; if the lady is alive, what would she say to her? Will she allow her son to marry a woman out of his whim? What would she think about having a daughter-in-law like her?""She's gorgeous.." she added.Scheriziel jolted when someone behind her added, "Indeed. But you're also beautiful."Aileen sighed and talked to the portrait, "Ma'am, I would like to apologize for not being a royal lady you could be proud of as daughter-in-law."Suddenly, she heard him saying— "She wouldn't mind it, you know."So, she asked, "Did you just say she wouldn't mind it?""Huh? I said you are beautiful."Schereziel thought she had

Viishaun touched his lips and recalled Scheriziels sweet lips. He couldn't remove the accident from yesterday, but he heaved a heavy breath, worrying that the lady will avoid him again which she had been doing since yesterday."How am I supposed to ease the awkwardness between us? She wouldn't hate me for that, will she?" he asked while preparing to get things done in his office."Your excellency, were you not on good terms with her ladyship?"Athena asked as she served breakfast to the king in his office. Viishaun cleared his throat and looked away. Then, he placed his arms below his jaw while lazily mumbling, "I supposed her ladyship is avoiding me.""OMO! I don't know what has happened between you two. Your excellency, if her ladyship is avoiding you; do something to make her less awkward with you. Letting her avoid you will only expand the gap between you two.""Precisely. That's what is on my mind, but I haven't decided yet what approach is best as of this moment.""Let me help y

"Let's stay here for a while. Thinking about the wish you mentioned, I'm curious... if you believe that magic still exists in today's era. Why don't you wish for me to fall in love with you? Wouldn't it be easier for you to get my hand in marriage if you do so?" she asked to test his excellency.Viishaun flinched and was caught off-guard. He did not expect Scheriziel to ask such a question. "I don't like that. I want you to fall in love with me, just like how other couples find their partners admirable. I already had my spoonful of hesitation back then because I knew falling in love with the intervention of magic was somehow insincere. On top of all, it makes me feel like I would be wasting this chance to have you sincerely."Scheriziel smiled and uttered, "But I guess it's fine; if a wish is by both parties. With all due respect, if there's something you'd like to wish, what would it be?""Hmm... would it be fine if it's concerning you?" Viishaun caressed the back of Scheriel's palm.
