A Night With The King

“Aha, thank God, I thought she would still be crying, I felt so bad, I should never have gone to confront her,”

She lamented. The last part of what she said was mostly said in a whisper as if she was talking to herself. With how Roseline acted with him, he never expected her to be so soft with Sophie, or maybe because she is a woman just like her.

“You are very concerned about her, and yes, you shouldn’t have gone to confront her, she has nothing to do with why our marriage isn’t happening,”

He told her and heard her scoff.

“Don’t say that to me again, I already accepted my fate, I can’t fight her when you two look so good together, I could feel the spark between you two, the way you were looking at her, I just knew, anyway, I accept defeat even though I didn’t fight,”

“What are you even saying? Sophie and I don’t have anything going on, at least not yet,”

He added the last part because he knew now that something would happen with them and if he let himself, he would be keeping her with her for a couple of months or maybe years depending on how long the spark between them lasted.

“Oh, you finally said it! but you sound like you are going to play her, see, if you know you are not going to do what is right by her, I would advise that you leave her alone, don’t touch her or go near her if you haven’t already, but I highly doubt that, I know what I saw; I am just saying don’t hurt her, I already feel like you are going to hurt her, she looked like she has a lot going on, don’t add to it, if you can’t do what is right by her, leave her alone,”

The princess warned. Lance didn’t like that she was saying the exact same words that Patrick had told him a moment ago, they were acting like he was going to harm her.

“Why are you and Patrick teaming up against me, I thought you didn’t like him, he said the same thing you just said, why do you both act like I am going to hurt her? I am not some monster you know,”

Lance let out defensively.

“You are going to hurt her, you have no long-term plans with her, plus she is carrying your child moron,”

Lance paused wondering how the fuck she came to the conclusion that he was the father of her child, plus how did she even know that Sophie was carrying, except maybe Sophie told her which he highly doubted.

“First of all, Roseline, I am not a moron, and also, how do you even know she is pregnant?”

“I am a woman, of course, I would know, not to mention I worked as a nurse assistant for two years, I know a lot of things,”

Her answer was fair enough but she was wrong about him being the child’s father.

“I am not the baby’s father,”

“You are denying your child? See, I don’t have a problem with it, you guys obviously love each other for you to be so willing to stick with her, all I hope for is that you don’t dump her in the long run because that woman loves you a lot and it would break her if you let her go, find a way to make things right for her,”

Oh, the crazy princess was out of her mind, she was making up a whole story from her own mind and thinking it was fact, Lance facepalmed.

“You are talking nonsense Princess, everything you just said is in your head, none of it is real,”

He cautioned her even though he knew she would not listen.

“Whatever you say, anyway, you do know that you have succeeded in making an enemy out of my people, right?”

He knew her kingdom would not want to associate with Otano after what he did but that didn’t bother him much.

“What about you? Have I made an enemy out of you?”

“What do you think?”

“I don’t know, you tell me,”

he responded. For some reason, even though she was rude and had zero respect for him, he didn’t want her to be his enemy.

“Hmm, not really, if you were my enemy, I wouldn’t still be in your kingdom,”

He didn’t even know she was still in Otano, he honestly thought she left for her kingdom.

“You are still here?”

“Yes, didn’t you assistant, I mean, advisor didn’t tell you? He was the one that dropped me off at the hotel I am using, I have no intentions of going home until my parents calm down, you don’t want to be in their presence when they are disappointed, I promise you,”

She told him. He remembered Patrick talking about her crying in the car and for the first time, he genuinely felt like a jerk for not telling her before he went ahead to call off the wedding, not like it would have changed anything but it would have at least prepared her for what to come.

“I am sorry that I just dumped everything on you without prior notice,”

He let out. he normally never apologizes but in this case, he felt the need to, maybe because Roseline was more accepting than he had expected her to be, she came, told him her mind, went to confront Sophie, and bam! She called and she didn’t sound like she was still mad at him, not to mention, she was concerned about Sophie’s feelings.

“I never expected King Lancelot to apologize to me, I should have recorded this call, fuck, what a missed opportunity,”

She let out which made him smile.

“I had to, I realized that I was wrong for not letting you know, plus, we might fight and dislike each other but I feel we can be friends,”

He let out.

“We are good Lance, you got a beautiful woman, I hope you can do what’s right by her, I have to hang up now because your assistant, I mean advisor is calling to check up on me again, I think he is in love with me,”

She let out. he couldn’t tell if she was joking or being serious, Patrick was caring despite how hardcore he tries to present himself to everyone, he took care of people around him which is why Lance wasn’t surprised that he was looking out for Roseline but could he have other motives? Not like he was bothered, in fact, he would be the happiest person if Patrick found someone he likes because he has been alone for quite too long.

“Says a loner,”

His subconsciousness chirped.

“Bye, Rose, have a great life and I hope we can keep this civil relationship,”

“Of course, I have decided to do business here,”

She responded and hung up on him before he could ask further questions, he wasn’t even aware that she wanted to do business in his kingdom; of course, he would let her, as long as it was a legal business.

“I can’t believe she picked talking to Patrick over me,”

He mouthed and dropped his phone and walked to his closet to get his sleeping robe, he lay on his bed after, contemplating whether he should go back to Sophie like he promised or if he should just leave her alone like Roseline and Patrick had said. He didn’t have anything to offer her except for great sex and shelter, he couldn’t wife her. She didn’t fit the image of a queen as expected of the queen of Otano. She wasn’t royalty neither was she from a wealthy household, heck, he knew nothing about her. Even her resume didn’t give much away. If she had half of the qualities that are required of the future queen, he would have married her; even though he couldn’t love her, he knew they would be great in bed and that was the reason he called off his wedding with Roseline who had all the qualities of a queen. Maybe in another life, the two women would have been one person and he would have had it all without giving his heart away. He let out a frustrated sigh, torn between going to her and staying in his room.

“I should just leave her alone,”

He let out but his groin was telling another story as his mind wandered back to their make-out session earlier, he already knew that sex between them would be hot and amazing. His mind went back to her magnificent breasts and how they had felt on his hands and how she had moaned out loud when he suckled on them, he remembered how damped she had felt when he had touched her most private spot. He felt himself harden as he thought of what his mouth and fingers could do to her down there

Oh, fuck it, I want her, she wants me, why keep away from each other,”

He let out and got up from the bed, he made his way to the door that led to her side of the palace and was about to open the door when his bedroom door burst open and a very worried Patrick ran in…Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
