A Night With The King

Having Sophie back in his arms and his life where she belonged gave Lancelot so much peace but he knew that peace would not be complete until he did the needful which was to make her his queen; she was already his queen but he wanted to make it official, introduce her to his people who will become her people too. He wanted them to be married before the princess’s due date so he set to work. He sent a message to all the elders, requesting for them to meet up with him. He already had the discussion with them before but he wanted them to officially meet his wife and also be aware of the royal wedding that was about to take place. Of course, he gave his woman time to heal from what she had experienced which was why he scheduled the meet up for three weeks after they returned.

He told her about it a week ago and she had been skeptical about meeting them but he reminded her that it was inevitable, the queen had to meet her people. He was able to talk her into agreeing.

The meeting was finally happening tomorrow and he could already feel that she was tense, she had no reason to be because the elders knew better than to talk anyhow, he warned them to talk to her with grace.

He made sure Patrick apologized to her, it didn’t take a lot to get him to apologize because he already felt bad about what he did; he just didn’t know how to approach and Lance had commanded him to go talk to her, he was glad he did because everything was okay between them now and Patrick was finally back being his best friend and full-time nagging special adviser, yup, they still disagree about a lot of things but not about Sophie or the fact that she would be queen, in fact, Patrick was the one that brought the idea of teaching Sophie about life as a royalty and so far, the teachings have been a lot. Sophie was a brilliant woman who easily picked up things, each time he saw her, Lance felt nothing but pride, love, and admiration for her. he never knew his luck was that great until Sophie, not only did he get a beautiful and thoughtful woman, she was also intelligent, she fits him so well as his woman, his love and his queen and she also fitted the queen roles so well, sometimes, he thinks about how he had wished that she would be the whole package, back then when he still deluded himself into thinking it was just sex between them, he was glad everything turned out fine for them and that he followed his heart.

As for his brother, Justin, he gave up and sent a letter to him apologizing, Lance didn’t take his apology, he knew Justin enough to know that the only reason he gave in was because he realized that he would lose greatly, Lance refused to give him a chance get near the palace so his ban reminded, the only thing his apology was able to do was stop him from being banished completely from Otano.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Sophie walked out of the bathroom where she went to take a bath and Lance inhaled deeply, she was naked completely, so beautiful and so his, he was tempted to go grab her and take her to bed with him but he resisted and instead watched as she dressed for bed and sat in front of the dressing mirror to do her night routine, he enjoys watching her, one of his favorite thing recently. He couldn’t resist anymore, he got out of bed and walked up to her, wrapped his arms around her while she sat.

“I am trying to get ready for bed, lover boy, if you don’t mind,”

She said, shaking off his arms.

“But I miss you,”

He lamented.

“I am right here, I love you,”

She said and ignored him right after that, he didn’t go back to bed and just stood near her, waiting for her to be done.

“Night meds for a healthy body and a healthy baby,”

She chorused as she walked to where she kept her meds and took them.

“Lance, I am worried about tomorrow,”

She voiced, he expected her to say it.

“You have nothing to worry about, Soph, I promise,”

He reminded her.

“Easier said than done, I can’t help it,”

She replied. He walked closer to her.

“Don’t worry, I won’t leave you on your own, plus the elders know better than to say anything offensive, I already told them just how important you are to me, and just how important you will be to the kingdom too, you will be their queen so they know better than to be disrespectful, so, no need for you to be worried or so scared,”

Lance told her. She didn’t look convinced, he turned her so that she was facing him.

“My love makes you glow, baby,”

He couldn’t resist saying, she rolled her eyes adorably.

“You mean the pregnancy hormones?”

“No, it is my love,”

he countered.

“Tish, so cheesy,”

He enjoyed every moment with her but he especially liked when she acted like she was doing right now, all cute and calling him cheesy.

“I love you, my darling,”

He told her and she smiled.

“I love you too, I am only doing this because I love you and I want to be with you, left to me, no one will ever know of my existence,”

She pointed out.

“I am sorry my love, a queen can’t be unknown, your place is by my side, you are a powerful woman, my love, the number lady of the kingdom of Otano, you will have a lot of women, both old and young looking up to you, not just women, lots of men and everyone else in the kingdom,”

He told her, she frowned.

“That’s so much responsibility, do you think I can do it?”

She asked unsure.

“Yes, I know you can do it, baby, there is nothing that my baby can’t do,”

He encouraged her and got another smile from her. He leaned in and kissed her sweetly on the lips, she threw her hands around his neck, and he lifted her into his arms, she got bigger by the day but like he promised her, he was going to carry her even when she got to week forty. He carried her over to the bed and dropped her gently.

“Want to take your mind off tomorrow?”

He asked, taking off his shirt and shorts.

“Yes, please, I would love a good distraction,”

She responded, removing the nightgown she had put on, he smiled satisfied, and got on the bed with her, he pulled her to him, kissing her passionately.
