My Emotionless Goddess

Miranda and Justin’s story.

Everything was running well with State affairs. After Miranda took charge of the State. However, a month later, the news about the king’s departure circulated around the State. A period of one month was set in honour of mourning the departed king. That had marked the end of the era of king Edward Reign that was peaceful and the start of the era of princess Miranda Sophia Reign who was now the newly crowned prince.

After taking office, Miranda had a lot to do. From cleaning all departments, recruiting new leaders and doing away with the moles associated with the rebels. Miranda was extremely busy and hardly had time to rest. Justin who was now the new CEO of Lambert group wasn’t spared either. With the Lambert group cooperating with the government on various projects, as a CEO, he was busy overseeing every operation.

Six months later, everything was settled. The country was at peace and the economy was growing. Everyone was happy with the new government and praised the queen who, despite being a lady, proved to be a capable leader.

Miranda had just finished attending the court hearing. Today’s case was hectic. The State had a disagreement with the neighbouring country about border issues. The negotiation had failed and the neighbouring country decided to take them to Court. Of Course, the union of southern States would be judging who’s right and who’s wrong. The dispute involved a piece of land that was believed to be rich in oil. Of Course, the two countries seemed to disagree on which State the land belonged to since it was on the borderline.

Miranda was very exhausted. She slumped on her seat while rubbing her temples. She could feel a migraine threatening to invade her senses.

Miranda felt two warm palms start massaging her temples in a circular motion.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

” Having a headache again?” Justin’s pleasant voice greeted her, making her look up only to be greeted by his smiling handsome face.

” Mmmh.” She curtly replied.

” You should take a break from time to time. Don’t tire yourself too much.” Justin said still massaging her temples.

” After the matter about the border is resolved, let’s go on a vacation.” Miranda proposed. She wanted to have alone time with him. After she took office, she had been so busy straightening things up and growing the economy that she spared no time for them. Even though Justin never complained about her busy schedule, she knew he had his grievances at heart. She ignored him and his feelings in the quest to make the country a better place for its citizens. Now, she could create time for him and their family.

Justin didn’t reply. He had something else in mind.

” When are we going to get married?” Justin finally asked the question that was troubling him. He wasn’t getting any younger and needed to have a stable family, have children and fulfil his dreams of fatherhood.

” Let’s get married this coming summer.” Miranda announced. She seriously had thought about marriage and saw that this was the best time for them to settle. With the state affairs progressing well, why not get married.

” Are you serious? Isn’t it too early?” Justin asked doubtfully. Summer was fast approaching, only a month before it started. They hadn’t prepared anything for the wedding, wasn’t it such a short time to prepare for a royal wedding?.

” You don’t want to get married this summer?” Miranda asked with a frown, she thought this was what he wanted.

” Of Course I want to get married, but how are we going to make all the preparations? As the Queen, you should hold a royal wedding. That needs time to be planned.” Justin reasoned out, not wanting to be misunderstood.

” A simple wedding with only close friends is enough. I don’t need anything Fancy and definitely not a royal wedding.” Miranda said. All her life, she loved staying low-key. Things wouldn’t change just because she was the queen. A simple summer wedding has always been her dream, she wasn’t going to give that away for anything in this world, not even some shitty royal rules.

” Thanks hun, I’ll start making The preparations.” Justin replied happily. She was still the Miranda he knew months ago. Nothing changed in her, She liked simple things. Even after becoming the queen of a state, she still opted for a simple wedding. Only a few Ladies could still uphold their values after becoming so powerful. Miranda was not among such Ladies.

” I Miss you.” Justin said, looking at her ever so affectionately. After being apart from Long, each busy with their matters, he missed her. He was no longer residing in the castle, Afterall, Miranda was rarely around. To fill the void in his heart, he had moved back to their Villa in the city and started living in her old room. The bed, sheets, bathroom had her scent. He could still feel her presence even when she was away. That’s how he managed to survive for months amidst seeing her from time to time.

Miranda could only smile at him. Of Course she missed him. Before, she never knew how it felt to kiss someone until she got together with Justin. After staying inseparable for months, she had gotten used to his presence in her life that she would miss him when he wasn’t around. It was until recently that she learnt that missing could be suffocating. She was addicted to his handsome face and the little things they did as lovers. Not being able to see him or touch him Made her heart feel empty.

Months ago, if you told Miranda she could be addicted to seeing a person, she would have just laughed it out as bullshit but now, she believed it.

” I also missed you, very much.” Miranda replied coyly. She shed off her calm and Royal demeanour. Now she was More of a young lady, acting coquettishly to her lover. There was no trace of the ice queen who governed the state within iron fist and amazed the people with her brilliant administration and development ideas. She was his woman, his little fragile woman who needed his care and protection.

“Spend the night with me here, don’t leave.” Miranda asked, blinking expectantly. Ever since she took office and resumed royal duties, Justin moved to the Villa leaving her alone at the castle. She wouldn’t be selfish to ask him to stay since she knew she wouldn’t have time for him so she let it be. But that didn’t mean she didn’t long for his presence at night. She wished she could accompany him every night but that would be a bad impression especially because they were only engaged and not married. The King or ruler of the State was only allowed to take one partner and only after marriage, could they start living together. Although Miranda never liked the royal rules, she wouldn’t do something to break the rules and tarnish the good reputation associated with the royal family.
