Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

“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”….

King Ryui gets down the stairs and heads towards his kitchen.

“Ryui, why did you send your maids away?”She asked.

“I didn’t send them away Brianna” King Ryui muttered

“Then where are they?”she yelled, crossing her hand in a kimbo.

“Don’t yell at me cousin, Don’t cross your limits Brianna.” King Ryui growl

“Oops, I didn’t mean to upset you”she pouted.

“But you did already, when are you going back to Massachusetts.”King Ryui asked, pouring himself a drink.

“Are you really sending me away?”Brianna asked with widened eyes.

“What did you see?”King Ryui uttered, raising up his head.

“I don’t understand”

“Am not sending you away, I am only getting your ticket back to Massachusetts tomorrow. I don’t want an unnecessary headache.

“Excuse me, Ryui, I know you very well. What’s wrong, you look disturb.. is something going on that you aren’t pleased with. Talk to me Ryui”Brianna pleaded.

“I need space,”Ryui uttered, picking up his drink. And walked away afterwards.

“I need to find that idiot, a lackadaisical rascal, giving you a headache and a sad moment. That idiot should be ready for Brianna.” She murmurs, taking the stairs.

“Inhale and exhale Queen Sabrina,”Mrs Evelyn asked. Queen Sabrina did as she was told to do.

“Have done it,”she replied, feeling restless.

“Don’t panic, Royalty is with Tessa and the rest, but there’s something important I need to tell concerning Royalty.”Mrs Evelyn explained, with a soft voice.

“Go on, tell me,”Queen Sabrina ordered.

“At first, we all concluded to tell King Justin, but you know, he doesn’t like me talkless of me talking to him.”Mrs Evelyn explained and continued.

“Everyone knows that”Queen Sabrina uttered, squeezing her Royal blue wear.

“My Queen, Royalty has lost her virginity”Mrs Evelyn uttered, with a bow.

“You ought to be kidding right,”Queen Sabrina asked, finding her words amusing.

“I can’t come from the Princess Quarters just to play a prank on you, do you even know how far it is, from quarters to the Queen quarters.”Mrs Evelyn muttered, pointing her index finger at her

“When did she lose it,”Queen Sabrina asked, standing up on her feet.

“She lost it yesterday, that’s why I came to inform you before you find out for yourself”Mrs Evelyn explained.

“How did she lose it? Was she raped? ”Queen Sabrina panicked, touching her forehead.

“Not at all, she wasn’t raped. King Ryui was the person that did it, and they did it willingly, “Mrs Evelyn explained further.

“She will get punished, she will be getting married in the next few days,”Queen Sabrina uttered while walking around her room.

“She’s fine with it my queen, you don’t have to worry. She’s ready for the punishment.”Mrs Evelyn replied, standing up on her feet.

“I need to see Royalty before the gathering of the King and the rest of the Queens.”Queen Sabrina uttered, picking up her hand-stone garment, and walked out of her chamber.

Mrs Evelyn sighed deeply and also walked out of the Queen’s Chamber afterwards.

*******

Laughter and throwing of pillows at each other was the activities going on in her room. Tessa could be seen, jumping on her bed, from one place to the other. Trying to avoid the pillow they are throwing at her. She kept smiling and laughing loudly, playing with her sister’s and the two other best friends and also their maids.

To avoid Royalty’s anger, because of how she missed the pillow being thrown by her, she jumped down from her bed, panting heavily. All of the sudden she couldn’t breathe.

She tried to stand up, but felt wobbly on the floor, the sound she made by her fell caught the attention of the rest.

“Tessa!!”Fiona screamed, rushing to hold her.

“Oh my God, Tessa”Royalty screamed, …

Tessa could be seen choking on her breath, her eyelid was moving up, making her eyeballs white only. Fiona kept shaking her, Royalty was in tears already.

“Get the fucking guards”Fiona yelled, shedding tears already.

Promise ran to the entrance, but found none of them.

“Bonanza!!”Promise yelled, running out of the princess quarters.

She bumped into her mom,(Queen Kelly) and the rest of the Queens.

“M,, o,, ther,,”Promise shuttered, hugging her tightly, as hot tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Promise dear”Queen Sabrina called, having those negative thoughts.

“Tell us what happened dear”Queen Lola asked, wiping her tears.

“It’s, uhmm,–Royalty “Queen Sabrina cut in

“It’s Royalty, my sweetheart”Queen Sabrina uttered, picking a quick race to their Chambers. Promise looked shocked.

“When did I mention Royalty?”Promise uttered with a broken voice.

“What’s wrong with Royalty, it’s not Royalty senior queen, it’s Tessa”

“Tes what,,, which, Tessa”Queen Lola shuttered, holding up her full royal gown.

“It’s Tessa mom, she’s choking on her own breath…”promise cried.

“Go and tell the maids to get the physician”Queen Kelly told her daughter. Promise took the right passage that leads to the maids quarters, While Queen Kelly ran to join the rest in Tessa Chambers.

*********

Everyone was in a panicked state, royalty couldn’t take back her tears, promise and honour were consoling each other.

King Justin wasn’t left out, we was pacing to and fro the entrance. Queen Lola didn’t shed a single tear, but she’s crying badly inside.

Fiona was just leaning on the wall, praying silently.

Fiona murmurs below her breath”I don’t think I can live without Tessa, Tessa sweetheart, don’t leave your best friend.

A young man in his regalia rushed in, startling everyone.

“King Nathaniel!”King Justin called with surprise.

“Your Highness”he greeted with a bow.

“What are you doing here? How did you get to know Tessa is in trouble?”King Justin asked, taking it a step further.

“I received a letter saying Tessa couldn’t feel her breath, and it has been a long time since the physician went in. That’s the reason why I rushed down here.”King Nathaniel

Seconds after their conversation, the physician came out with a sad expression.

“Physician, how is my daughter?”King Justin asked, feeling mortified.

“Am sorry to say this, but she was poison”

“Poison”Everyone murmurs.

“The poison can only be mixed and taken with liquid, like tea, water, juice, wine and so on..”The physician explained.

“Poison”King Nathaniel uttered softly, shifting his legs backward.

“Who gave Tessa a drinkable substance?” King Justin growled, staring at his daughters.

“No one did father”Royalty and Promise replied, shaking from his fear.

“I only serve, princess Tessa tea Your Highness” Fiona uttered, in a confused state.

In a matter of seconds, Queen Lola hit her right face hard, making her fall wobbly on the floor.

“Am not done with my explanation, there’s still more that’s shocking”The physician uttered with a soft and sad voice.

“Don’t keep me waiting,”King Justin growled.

“Her womb has been damaged, your highness. She won’t be able to give birth unless the universe wants to favour her”The physician uttered, slowly.

Immediately she ended her words.

Queen Lola passed out, Queen Sabrina and Kelly were in tears. King Nathaniel wasn’t left out, he looked shocked.

King Justin eyes were bloodshot,

“Guards,”he growled angrily.

“Take that criminal to the dungeon”He growled, pointing at Fiona.

“Your Highness, am not the one”Fiona cried as she was dragged down the stairs.
