Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

Tessa ran to her garden, King Nathaniel ran after her, finally he got hold of her. He held her hand and pulled her into a tight hug.

“Why are you doing this Tessa, why are you hurting yourself”King Nathaniel asked, patting her hair softly.

“I don’t know why, I just keep hating myself,”Tessa cried, falling to her knees.

“You don’t have to do that Tessa, am here Tessa. Your tears kept hurting my heart”King Nathaniel said, wiping her tears.

She sniffled back her tears. “Promise me you won’t leave me”Tessa asked as tears streamed down her cheeks.

King Nathaniel didn’t think twice about making his promise.

“I promise you that, I Nathaniel Murad will never leave you Tessa Brown no matter the circumstances until death do us apart.”King Nathaniel promised, kissing her hand softly.

Tessa couldn’t believe what her ears were hearing, she never expected him to make such a promise.

“I love you Tessa, I really do ”

Tessa smiled”I love you too”…

King Nathaniel brought his lips closer to hers and slammed his lips on hers.

Nathaniel kept kissing her hungrily, rubbing his hand lustfully at every single part of her body.

Fiona ran inside the garden and stopped when she saw how things were going smoothly between the two.

“My princess is very lucky to have King Nathaniel as a lover. It’s hard to see a man like King Nathaniel who is ready to spend the rest of his life with Her Majesty, despite the fact that she can’t mother a child.”Fiona thought and left the garden, leaving the lovers alone.

“What, are you trying to tell me that she’s no longer a virgin?”King Justin growled.

“It’s pointless ranting Justin. The deed is done already”Queen Lola snapped.

“Am ready to take any punishment you have for me”Royalty uttered, bowing her head.

“You already know the punishment,”King Justin uttered.

“Yes father,”Royalty replied, smiling lightly.

“Bonanza, send a letter to King Ryui to get ready for an unnoticed marriage proposal. His engagement is taking place over tomorrow, while his marriage is taking place in the next three days, tell him to come and see me today,”King Justin said.

“As you wish your highness”Bonanza uttered with a bow.

“Everyone is dismissed,”King Justin uttered.

[Lost in Thought]

“Is this karma or what, why is that a single mistake I made in the past that keeps hurting, but not me directly. Royalty is getting married to Ryui, Ryui is also trapped in that ruthless man’s hands just because of his father’s mistake. Royalty will have to get a taste in this, after Royalty is Tessa. He kept using King Nathaniel’s life to threaten me, oh heavens protect Nathaniel, Tessa is passing through her hard time.

Oh my little promise, I won’t let her get married so soon, I don’t want her to be part of this, she’s too young to take part in this. And that bastard kept using promises to threaten me, Incase I talk, perhaps tell anyone.. Agggh, my heart aches a lot, I hope Tessa gets a clue before things get out of hand. I just hope.”

“Father”promise called.

“Princess Promise”King Justin called his daughter, wiping her tears.

“You can talk to me father, I know someone is blackmailing you but I don’t know what he/she is using to blackmail you”Promise uttered, taking his hand into hers.

King Justin sniffled his tears, “you also knew about this.”He asked.

“I know everything father, don’t worry about us, Tessa and I planted some spy in each Kingdom, we mentioned earlier, we will catch the monster very soon, you just have to hang on and play the game perfectly. Do this for us father, believe you’re not alone, your beautiful daughters are around you, to protect you against all odds.”Promise whispered, kissing his forehead.

King Justin got emotional and broke down in tears.

“Tessa, Fiona, Honour, Royalty want me to deliver their message to you that you shouldn’t forget that”They love you so much”including me your baby daughter”Promise uttered, hugging her father tightly.

A guard announced the arrival of a King.

“Your Highness, King Varaganisa is —Promise picked a race out of the throneroom, not letting the guard complete his words, her legs almost touching the back of her head.

King Justin adjusted his attire.

“It’s been a long time my friend,”King Varaganisa said with a deep voice.

He kept staring at her portrait, still finding it hard to believe a beautiful lady like her could be heartless.

“She’s very pretty, spotless and flawless, how could she be participating in this slavery laws.”King Zain thought.

“If she wasn’t into this, I would have tried my luck with her, but the image of her tutoring my younger sister won’t let me. Fiona, I knew I offended you before this incident, I wish I could change back time, I will have apologized to you for my wrong doings. I missed you so much Fiona” King Zain uttered, talking to Tessa and Fiona’s portrait.

“Could it be that my Messengers got the wrong information about this princess.”King Justin doubted.

“No! No!, I trust my messengers a lot, they won’t try such, they won’t dare to give me wrong information about this case” King Zain muttered.

Staring at Tessa’s portrait.

“Ryui there’s a message for you”Brianna yelled, barging inside his secret Chamber.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Can you please read it out for me? ”He asked, adjusting his written scrolls.

“It’s a letter from King Justin from the Chill Hills— give me that I will read it myself”, he uttered, collecting the scroll from her.

After what seems like forever, he finally found his voice.

“I don’t want Royalty to get into this situation with me,”King Ryui murmurs below his breath.

“Situation?, what situation?”Brianna asked, taking some close steps towards him.

“Don’t worry about that Brianna,”King Ryui uttered.

“Ryui, talk to me, I am your cousin.”Brianna cried.

“Call Mom, I am getting married,”King Ryui uttered, smiling at his sister.

“Marriage??, Oh! I see, so those families are the one threatening you to get married to their daughter, right.. am gonna make her stay with you a living hell”Brianna uttered, gritting her teeth.

“Don’t you dare lay your fucking hands on Royalty, if you try that shit, am gonna burn you alive”King Ryui growled angrily, whispering those words”am gonna burn you alive”in her ears. Which sends down cold shivers around her immune system.

“Royalty is the woman I love, I love her with all my heart, so I am gonna warn you very carefully, don’t think of hurting the woman I love, Brianna.”King Ryui uttered, locking his furious eyes with hers.

Fear gripped her to the bone.”Neither will I touch your beautiful lover nor families.”Brianna uttered, gritting her teeth as she stormed out of his room.

“My first priority is Royalty Brown, I am going to protect you no matter what. I will protect you until my last breath.” King Ryui thought, walking out to address his subjects about his sudden marriage.
