Chapter 14
It’s been three months of my stay in the castle and I was gradually getting used to not seeing my friends and the royal rules.
The King hasn’t slept with me lucky enough but I see sluts and the Queen’s coming out of his room almost every night or correctly every night.
I could bet how lucky I am that the King hasn’t slept with me yet but still I was surprised, he always treathned to sleep with me just anytime he wants and I was expecting it ASAP, I had made up my mind to receive him but here I am 3months past without having sex with the king.
I am sure that the day he remembers me it would be worst than just sex.
My pregnancy was three months old and was already visible, getting bigger and more stressful by day, and I noticed my sudden change of attitude.
I ate too much and was easily annoyed and irritated for the least thing, I remember slapping the king few weeks ago for barging into my room without knocking.
I didn’t just know how it happened but it happened so fast but luckily he didn’t hit me or tell at me he rather left my room angrily and ever since then I only saw him when we are eating in the dinning room and he never talked to anyone.
Not like he normally talks but I felt like he was overly quite.
I sat in front of my mirror staring at the woman I was becoming in just few months, I was adding much weight by day and was being unnecessarily lazy, all this because of the baby bump and staying indoors everyday.
Ever since I came into this castle I have not seen outside, I haven’t explored the kingdom and wished to do so.
I shove my legs into my shoes and made out of my room at least to explore the big castle.
The castle is a very big one that no one can walk to the end of it in two days I could see that it’s a city of it’s own because it’s extremely large with thousands of rooms in it!.
I walked down the hallways as the guards looked at me in a way I couldn’t point out, I had expected them to talk me into going back but they didn’t.
I walked to the king’s hallway as I over heard the king yelling at who so ever, I could tell from his voice that he was really angry as I slightly opened the door to see a lady standing by a painting, the king’s painting.
It was so beautiful and neat that I wondered why the king didn’t like it or maybe the king woke up from the wrong side of his bed.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Just seeing the painting made me remember when I still painted people for free because I loved it, I suddenly had the urge to paint… Maybe that will help my boredom.
Suddenly the king threw the large painting to the ground and matched it to thousand piece!.
“No”
I nearly shouted audibly as I held my lips.
“Make a better painting of me before I get back” he ordered as she bowed in tears and frustration.
I watched the cruel king took his staff and made out of the chamber leaving the lady to cry helplessly.
I ran and hid myself in one of the pillars till he past angrily hitting his legs hard as if he wanted to break the ground too.
I quickly ran into the king’s chamber to meet the lady still crying, yeah she should cry because I don’t know how she’d paint the king without him sitting or something.
“Good day my queen” see greeted trying to adjust herself as she quickly wiped off her tears with the back of her palms.
On seeing her dreadful state I decided to help her with the drawing, at least I have seen the king a countless times but I have never seen him in a welcome mood. He never smiles, he is always cold and cruel… I remembered the first day we met when he came to take me, he had smiled at me for some reasons I didn’t get making me think he would be a good husband.
“How about I help out with the painting”
” Huh?” She exclaimed in surprise as if expecting me to repeat what I said as I raised an eyebrow at her “my queen never…” I cut her short by sitting on the donkey chair.
“Get me a new board”

Zinnia worriedly walked back and forth of her room thinking of how she’d terminate Pearls pregnancy and send her out of palace.
Pearls belly was becoming bigger and visible by day and the guards are drifting their respect slowly to her as she is the only one going to give the king a child and that will be soon.
She has thought of several ways of terminating the pregnancy but she couldn’t lay her finger on one, she was dead frustrated and couldn’t let little Pearl take her husband’s attention.
Zinnia has tried everything possible to make the king release inside of her at least for ones but the king is always alerted and would pull off immediately.
She also noticed that the king was no longer using her for long as he normally would do and that meant one thing, the king is slowly losing interest on her.
She wanted to Agent fox as soon as possible to at least get and idea of what to do but she can’t go to his room because every where is guarded and she isn’t allowed to go to that hallway.
She sat back on her bed worriedly…
“In few days will be a royal mask party and I hope the king recognizes me and take me to bed” I thought out loud as I sipped the wine on my table.
“Maybe I should go out and see what’s going on around the castle, staying indoors won’t help at all”
She thought as she quickly gulp all the content of her wine, took her hand fan and was about leaving when I knock came on the door.
She opened the door to see her handmaid standing in a bow.
“I came to check up on you my queen” Mel said
” Well, I am not dead… Please excuse me” Zinnia said as the maid pathed ways for her.
“My queen will you need a compa…”
“No I won’t” Zinnia said not looking back.
Zinnia walked down the hallway with the aura of queenship revolving around her, she walked with pride as the servants bowed to her with all respect as the first wife of the king.
She sighted sage walking hurriedly with a steamy cup in her hand, she could tell that it was coffee.
“Hey you, come here” she called as sage walked to her nonchalantly.
She knew that sage hated her so much for some reasons she doesn’t know and she has always wanted to use sage to achieve what she wants, sage is the only maid that the king sleeps with and zinnia knew that, that is the only reason for the disrespect.
“Who owns that coffee” she already knew the answer but she just wanted to ask in other not to sound suspicious.
“Her highness owns it” sage said slightly rolling her eyes.
“What do you mean by your highness!, We are five queens in this palace so who exactly are you talking about!?” Zinnia was already getting pissed off by sage’s attitude and could do anything to her at any moment.
“My mistress of course…”
“Oh okay, maybe I will help you serve this to her” Zinnia said and made to take the cup from her as sage withdrew.
“I don’t need your help queen Zinnia, and please I will love to leave immediately before the coffee gets cold… So may I?”
Zinnia glared at her scornfully and angrily walked out, she couldn’t imagine a mere maid disrespecting her, she could only blame King Archer for the mess for sleeping with a maid.
King Archer had angrily gone to his personal garden to sit and chill, he knew that the painting he had destroyed was beautiful and perfect but he was still angry from the slap his youngest wife gave to him and needed to unleash his anger on something.
Unleashing that anger on Pearl would would make her lose her baby or something worse so he decided to avoid her and her annoying character, He remembered whipping Pearl so bad that she was close to her grave and he knew that she was still recovering from that one.
Pearl didn’t sit for three weeks after that whip and he felt guilty for the first time in his life, he had flogged his pregnant wife so bad that he was sure of how unattractive her ass will look.
He has never whipped any of his wife’s before but he did that to Pearl!, He should have just thrown her to the dungeon instead.
“My king, the king of Noviran is here with his wife to see you you” a guard said interrupting the king’s endless thoughts.
He expected King Damien the oldest king amongst them and the very unlawful king.
They had sent a letter across to them that they would be stopping by to sleep over after their long journey and he had no choice than to accept risking his wives, King Damien ones helped him anyways.
But one thing is sure, King Damien will ask for one of his wives and it’s a lawful thing to send your wife to an important guest.
The issue would be the one he would choose to pleasure the King of Noviran.
