A Night With The King

“Is that question too hard to answer? You just have to give a yes or no, is the king really expecting an heir soon?”

She asked again.

“I don’t have to answer any of your questions and you have no right to come sit with me and ask me such questions,”

Sophie fired at the woman, it was clear that she thought her to be a fool. She must think she has no sense of her own that she can just question her and she would willingly give her all the answers. She would be a fool to do that while knowing that could expose the king and herself to so many bullshits that she wasn’t ready to deal with just yet. The fact that the woman approached her knowing she was pregnant means she knew some details and wanted to find out if her baby belonged to the king.

“I just asked a simple question, there have been a lot of talks going around the kingdom about the king having a woman and the both of them expecting a baby”

“And that concerns me how?”

Sophie let out. She knew people knew about her relationship with the king and there had been a lot of speculation but nothing had gone out of proportion yet she was hoping that it would stay that way but that might not be the case anymore.

“Why are you being so defensive? I asked a simple question, you should know since you live in the palace, or wait, it is you right? You are the king’s woman? The baby you are carrying right now belongs to our king. right? You don’t look like you are from Otano, are you from a royal family too? Were you the reason the king broke his engagement and called off his wedding?”

The woman just went on with her questions, Sophie decided she had enough and got out of the chair, she didn’t say a word to the woman and the crazy woman didn’t take that as a hint because when Sophie stood up, she did too.

“Are you not going to say a word? Don’t you know that your silence kind of confirms some things?”

The woman went on while Sophie walked away from the café fast without answering, she would be a fool to fall for her tactics, she was trying to get her to say anything.

“You can’t just walk away, if you do, that would be you confirming that you are indeed the king’s woman and also, the baby you are carrying belongs to him,”

The woman yelled. Sophie noticed that everyone else looked up at them, Sophie stopped for a moment, turned back to the woman, and gave her the middle finger, she saw the look of shock on the woman’s face.

“You are stupid and should do a better job at being a journalist, trying to create a narrative like that by boxing me into a corner is not what journalism means, know your job better or get another one,”

Sophie told her and walked away, Jude, the bodyguard who drove her, must have noticed the ruckus because she met him at the entrance.

“Something happened?”

He asked.

“Yeah, a journalist, I need to see the doctor,”

Sophie said and walked away from him. She went directly towards the doctor’s office and was glad when they called her name. As soon as she got there, she saw the doctor. It didn’t take up to twenty minutes because everything was good with her and the baby. When she came out of the doctor’s office, Jude was waiting for her and he led her through the back entrance of the hospital because there were paparazzi on the front entrance. Before she got into the car, Sophie once again felt the presence of someone who was watching her. She shook off the thought and got in the car. Once she got to the palace, she walked straight to the king’s chamber. The people who lived within the palace already knew of her relationship with the king so no one said a word or blinked when she went to the king’s room but she knew there had been a lot of talks lately, she heard some from Riley who might have been careful of what she told her but she knew from how she sounded that there were talking more than that. Their main discussion would be her pregnancy, she was sure of it. She made up her mind already not to think about what anyone else said, so long as the king wanted her around, she was going to be there for him and with him.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Not even twenty minutes after she came back, the king walked in. She just got out of the shower and was wiping her face in front of the mirror.

“Hey, babe,”

He said when he walked in, he came to her, pecked her cheek and then he walked straight to the bed and lay down. She turned to him and turned back when she saw him smiling.

“Don’t you have a kingdom to run?”

Sophie asked even though she liked that he was with her.

“I do but I took the day off, remember? I only went to my office for a while and left as soon as I heard that you were back, how did it go?”

He asked. Sophie contemplated whether she should tell him what happened at the hospital or not but in the end, she decided to tell him.

“Doctor said we are both good and I ran into a journalist, didn’t know she was one at first until she started asking weird questions,”

She told him.

“What kind of questions?”

“She asked if I knew who the king’s woman was, and when I didn’t answer, she asked if it was me and if the baby belongs to the king and so many other questions,”

“Did you speak to her?”

Lance asked after Sophie finished telling him what happened.

“I told her to mind her business, told her to do a better job at journalism or quit the job if she can’t. I am not a fool, I know when someone is trying to get juicy news from me,”

Sophie responded as she wiped her face with the face wipe. She was so tired and just wanted to get on the bed and forget everything that happened today. The only good thing about today was the heartbeat of her baby that she felt earlier. Okay not just that, she smiled when she remembered the other good thing that happened to her.
