Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

“This is tense” Mrs Evelyn and Fiona uttered exhaling heavily.

Tessa was seen pacing to and fro the room, trying to digest those words. She holt immediately she got her answersText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Is either Someone is using you or his throne to threaten him”Tessa uttered, resting her hand on her waist.

Loud gasps fell from their mouths.

“Are you really sure of what you are saying”Mrs Evelyn asked,

“Am very sure aunt, that’s politics, if you can’t think straight, probably make the right decision, one will fail”Tessa replied coldly.

“What are we going to do?”Royalty panicked.

“We?, Or you, it is what am I going to do not we”Tessa cleared. Royalty looked shocked.

“Tessa is still pissed at me, though she has forgiven me,”Royalty thought.

“Why the change of attitude?”Mrs Evelyn asked.

“It’s not a change of attitude, it’s the truth. She will be the one to carry out the task while I guide her not to make mistakes.”Tessa explained, trying to make them understand her words.

“It’s like you all aren’t getting my point, hump… what I mean is that, I am not the one in love, but royalty. She will be the one to clear and understand Ryui, you need him to trust you royalty, you have to let him trust you to the extent that he will tell you what’s on his mind and won’t care about the threat,

Be vigilant at all times, Tessa explained.

“Oh!, “Fiona exclaimed, smiling at Royalty.

“I knew you thought Tessa is still pissed at you because of how she gave her reply. But she isn’t, she’s trying her best for you huh.”Fiona explained, touching her laps.

“Oh come on, you’re still on that”Tessa scoffed.

“So what’s our next move?”Mrs Evelyn.

“To tell father you lost your virginity”Tessa replied, with a soft voice

“Fa,, th,, er”Royalty shuttered, holding Fiona’s hand.

“You don’t have to be petrified Royalty”Fiona encouraged, wiping her tears.

“If you explained everything to King Justin then he’s going to punish Royalty according to the customs and tradition” Mrs Evelyn intervened.

“What else aunt, the punishment is to get married to Ryui and that’s what we need ”Tessa explained. And continued

“I don’t like those faces, am trying to make her task easier, or do anyone have a suggestion here”Tessa snapped,

and continued,

“No, none of you have any. Because if we wait for the right time father wants the wedding to take place, then I am hundred percent sure Royalty would be having pregnancy signs.

“Pregnancy signs”Mrs Evelyn uttered, flabbergasted.

“Yes, that’s the truth,” Tessa replied.

And that won’t be good, instead of him punishing you according to the traditions by getting you married to King Ryui, he will rather punish you cold-heartedly, and that won’t be nice despite the fact that you might be pregnant by then.”Tessa snapped, rubbing her forehead in frustration.

Mrs Evelyn and the rest sighed deeply, bringing down their heads.

“So to conclude everything now, father will get to know Royalty has lost her virginity.”Promise asked.

“Yeah,” Tessa replied. “So who will take the lead?”she asked.

(No Dialogue)

“So you all mean, you can’t take the lead”Tessa exclaimed, moving her gaze to each other”.

“I will take the lead,”Mrs Evelyn said.

“Fine, finally we get the lead,”Tessa breathed out.

“But don’t we think we should get Ryui and ask if he’s ready for marriage,”the promise uttered, biting her fingers.

“Oh! that’s true”, Honour supported.

“You don’t have to worry, he’s ready to marry me”Royalty intervened…

“That’s great”Fiona

“Finally, the case is closed…. Hopefully, Royalty is gonna be a bride in three or four days time”Tessa uttered, dancing out of her room.

“Come in Evelyn”Queen Sabrina uttered.

“My queen”Mrs Evelyn greeted with a bow.

“Am still wondering about your sudden visit Mrs Evelyn”Queen Sabrina uttered, throwing a gum in her mouth.

“Am here for a urgent matter”

“Concerning what?, Concerning who?”She asked, and continued

“You should go and meet Queen Lola, she’s the eldest”Queen Sabrina rushed her words, still staring at Mrs Evelyn.

“It’s concerning Royalty, she–what happened to my daughter, where is she?”Queen Sabrina rushed out, heading to the Royalty Chamber.

“Hahaha hahaha hahaha, ” Mrs Evelyn laughed, holding the wooden chair for support.

“She didn’t even listen to the rest”Mrs Evelyn uttered, laughing wholeheartedly.

*******

“Royalty”Queen Sabrina yelled out barging inside her Chamber, but she’s nowhere to be found in her Chamber. After moving her gazed to each corner of her chamber, fear gripped Queen Sabrina.

“Did something happen to my sweetheart, ” she gasped loudly after thinking of a negative thought, “oh! heavens, Justin”she exclaimed, rushing to King Justin Chambers.

She kept running, ignoring how weirdly the maids were staring at her. Finally she got to the entrance of his Chamber. She barged in, in an abrupt manner.

“Sabrina!!”King Justin growled angrily, laying on his bed.

“Don’t Sabrina me, royalty is in trouble and you are laying down here”Queen Sabrina yelled.

“So, she should take care of herself, probably Tessa would help.” He uttered, turning his back at her.

“Did you just say so?” Queen Sabrina yelled pulling, his legs.

“Pack yourself and your madness out of my room”King Justin snapped, using one of his pillows to cover his ears.

“My Queen”Mrs Evelyn called, leaning on the wall that was outside King Justin Chambers.

“Evelyn”Queen Sabrina called, walking out of King Justin Chambers.

“My Queen, why are you ranting like this?”Mrs Evelyn insulted.

“You said Royalty the other other time”she asked.

“Yes, I mentioned her name, but I didn’t say she’s in trouble. What’s wrong with your ears and negative thoughts”Mrs Evelyn scolded.

“Am sorry”Queen Sabrina apologized.

“It’s fine, let’s get out of here”Mrs Evelyn said, pulling her hand.

********

He kept smoking his Indian hemp, just to clear off his head. Why did she have to come back from Massachusetts? Hump… He sighed deeply.

“Ryui!!, Ryui!!” Someone yelled from the stairs that lead to his room.

“Oh heavens, she’s back with her lousy voice. I won’t be able to rest now that she’s back.

“Ryui! Ryui!! Ryui!!! The voice called again, not quite long from her lousy voice, she barged inside his relaxing room, folding her hand in a kimbo.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t hear me when I called out your name.”she asked, feeling furious.

“I heard, but I chose to Ignore. Do you have any problem with that”King Ryui asked the lady standing.

“Yes I do”

“Suit yourself then”he replied, getting on his feet.

“Won’t you give me a welcome kiss”she pouted.

“Kiss my foot,”King Ryui muttered, rolling his eyes and walking away, leaving her in his relaxing room.

“Ryui!!!” She screamed, running her hand through her hair”….
