All Chapters of A Night With The King: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“You don’t get the gist, do you? I know what we talked about; I know what we decided but I don’t see the point of marrying someone I don’t like when I am not going to gain anything from her. If we get married, her kingdom would be gaining more from us, On top of us not liking each other, there is no guarantee that we will be compatible in bed either, We shared a kiss and it was the worst kiss I have ever had, I already said no one can talk me out of what I already decided so let’s keep it at that, there will be no royal wedding unless I find a suitable bride that I can bed too,”Lance declared in a voice that left no room for argument, he could tell that they had more to say but he didn’t care, he was done talking to them, he got off the throne and walked out of the throne room expecting Patrick to follow, if only he could avoid the ear full that Patrick was about to give him, one thing was sure, he wasn’t going to go back on his words, he had nothing to lose if the marriage doesn’t h

Lance paused and checked his progress so far, he was tired but for the last two hours, he had seen a lot of progress. He felt relief, the anger and anxiety he felt earlier were almost gone now, he really needed this time away from everything, If only he could do this more often but being king means he has to give away his free time and a lot more other things; the fact that he gives away so much and yet, when he does decide to put himself first, it becomes a problem. Painting was what his life had been all about before he gave it all up and came to Otano to take over from his father. These days, he never has time to paint, he gave it up willingly, he gave up his whole life and they still want him to do more. “Yikes,”He let out and dropped the brush he held. He wasn’t doing anything special right now, he was painting a meadow, the only thing that came to mind when he got here. This place was the only place he could find some kind of alone time, Of course, that crazy advisor of his kn

“I still think going to see him in the mood you are in right now is a bad idea, Lancelot, I know he was evil and all for what he did to her but can you just let the right authorities do their job, they already have evidence against him,”Patrick pressed, when they arrived at the palace, he was hesitating on passing the palace gate. Lance wasn’t having it, he wasn’t going to let him talk him out of going to see that bastard, on the way to the palace, he had finished watching the video just to get a grasp of the whole situation and let just say, it got worst with each new details he finds out, the fucker, threatened her, left her in the middle of nowhere even though he knew it was late, she could have been kidnapped or worst, killed in the wild. How she was able to locate the disgraced queen’s house, was still a mystery well, at least she did something good for once. Not like the queen has ever done anything to him personally, it was his father that sent her away, while he was still a c

“What do you have against Sophie? She doesn’t look like someone to get on your bad book, why do you seem to hate her?”Lance couldn’t resist asking. Patrick was acting like he had a beef with Sophie and wanted her gone from his side. “I don’t hate her, she didn’t do anything to me but she might cause trouble for you and I don’t want that, which is why I want you to send her away now that she hasn’t done anything yet; keeping her close would only bring problems to you, I don’t know why you refuse to see it,”“What kind of trouble can she bring to me? You have to give me examples,”Lance queried. “Oh, Lancelot, you have a soft spot for her, let’s face it, you might not have a relationship with her right now, but give it time and you will be making love to her or even falling in love with her, that’s if you aren’t already in love with her, you just beat up a man for her,”Patrick was out of his mind, he was talking nonsense, Lance had no plans of sleeping with or falling in love with S

Sophie felt bored out of her mind but that wasn’t the problem, she just couldn’t rub off the fact that something wasn’t right and that she might be in some kind of trouble. Ever since Patrick, the king’s right-hand man came to her, she hadn't seen or heard from the king. She tried to ask those who came to give her the basic things she needed about what was going on in the palace and the king but no one said anything to her. She couldn’t directly ask if the king did call off his wedding as Patrick had suggested. She hoped not because that would mean trouble for her. No one would believe she has anything to do with the king, she was in the house where mistresses are kept and well taken care of, she didn’t need a prophet to know that the people who attend to her think she is the king’s mistress. She wanted to shout to them that she was not but it was a waste of time as they wouldn't even say anything to her in the first place. Not knowing what a new day would bring to her made her const
