Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

The Royal maids, ordinary maids, slaves aren’t ready to let Tessa pass, they were very happy to see their princess alive. They kept pushing themselves just to touch her perfect, beautiful glowing skin. She couldn’t shout because of the pain she was feeling. She couldn’t scream because of the noise they were making.

King Nathaniel pulled Tessa out of the crowd, moving her to a noiseless corner taking her in the hand gently.

“Hope they didn’t touch you, “King Nathaniel uttered, crouching a little, rubbing her stomach affectionately.

“How I wished I could give you a child”Tessa thought, not knowing she’s shedding tears already. The drop of tears that streamed down her cheeks, fell on King Nathaniel’s hand. That was when he knew Tessa was in tears already. He sighed deeply, and rose up on his feet.

“Why the tears, “King Nathaniel asked, touching her cheeks.

“I can’t give you a child”Tessa breaks down in tears. Hugging King Nathaniel tightly.

“I love you Tessa, that’s what matters the most. I love you so much, we will adopt a beautiful son and daughter you like Tessa”King Nathaniel uttered, consoling her softly.

“I love you Nathaniel, I love you so much” Tessa uttered, disengaging from the warm hug.

King Nathaniel pulled her head gently and planted a kiss on her forehead. He took his hand to her cheeks, wiping off her tears.

“Let’s take the secret passage to the throne room, have sent Fiona, honour, physician Rana to the throne room. I ordered my guards to send for the Queen and Princess.” King Nathaniel uttered softly.

“It’s too dark here, I think this is the right time”Tessa uttered, letting go of his hand.

“Right time for– King Nathaniel couldn’t finish his words when Tessa slammed her lips on his.

Tessa kept kissing him hungrily, pulling his head closer. King Nathaniel wanted to take the kiss slow and gentle but it seems Tessa is hungry for his lips. He wrapped his hand around her tiny waist, rubbing her back from the waist towards her butt area.

King Nathaniel lifts her right leg up to his waist line. Rubbing it softly, he kept moving his hand to her naked butt but, still covered with her attire. Tessa moaned out. Their tongues kept fighting a serious battle. He carried her, locking her legs around his waist making her rest her back against the wall. Tessa kept moaning out, running her hand through his curly hair.

King Nathaniel couldn’t breathe because of the kiss, he disengaged from it exhaling heavily.

“I’m very sorry, I lost my control,”Tessa said, feeling shy. King Nathaniel smiled, dropping her gently.

“It’s fine, have been hungry for your lips”King Nathaniel uttered, still having his hand around her waist, he took the opportunity and pulled her closer, Making her chest touch his. Tessa raised her head up staring at his handsome face.

“I love you Tessa,”King Nathaniel uttered, kissing her cheek. And continued.

“Let’s go and join the rest.” King Nathaniel uttered, locking his hand with hers.

********

Emery kept waking at a fast pace, she inhaled and exhaled heavily before opening the throne room door. She popped her head a little, trying to get a glimpse of the king’s whereabouts.

A smile curved up her lips the moment she saw the king at the window area staring at heavenly weather and the vivid blue sky.

“My King,”Emery called, bowing her head.

“What did you want?”he asked with a grumpy voice, still looking outside.

“I brought you tea,”she replied, shaking visibly.

King Justin smirked and turned around

“Who asked you to bring this?”King Justin growled.

“Princess Tessa”she lied.

“Tessa, is Tessa awake?”King Justin asked, rushing his words.

“Shrew me, I spread a rumour about her death, then why did I mention her name here. Hope he doesn’t rush out.”Emery thought, thinking of what to say.

“Oh I made a mistake, your highness, it’s Queen Lola that asked me to bring you this stress relief pain herb .” Emery uttered with a shaken voice.

“Lola,”King Justin uttered with widened eyes.

“Lola knows I don’t drink tea but coffee, how come she ordered a maid to bring me tea but not coffee.”King Justin thought, looking at Emery weirdly.

“Oops! It was Queen Kelly that asked me to bring you this, just to show you affection”

“Kelly said that to you”King Justin asked, still putting his thoughts together.

“There’s something suspicious about this girl,”King Justin thought. Kelly shows me affection at night most especially on bed, how come she serves me tea instead.

Could it be that, this girl is on a mission.”King Justin thought for a while and decided to play along.

“Your Highness, would you like to have some?” she asked, showing him how thick the tea was.

“Why don’t you let me show you affection”King Justin uttered softly.

(Shuttering)” I,, don’t,, understand,, you,, your,, Highness.

“Give me the tea cup, let me have it,”King Justin asked.

She stretched out her hand very well, giving out the cup of tea as he asked. King Justin took it, talking it almost close to his lips when he stopped.

“Why don’t you have it, I don’t want to have a cup of tea” King Justin uttered, taking a close step next to her.

(Stammering)”I,, I,, I,, you shouldn’t stress yourself, if you don’t like it. Let’s give it back to Queen Kelly”Emery uttered another lie.

“Am the King, don’t you ever get in my way. Have it right now”King Justin growled, holding her hair and bringing the tea cup close to her lips.

“Come on, open up, or else you will have your head at the Royal Welcome Gate.” King Justin growled, pouring the content in her lips. At first she sealed her lips but King Justin was smarter than that, he held her nose. Not letting her have a single air to inhale and exhale.

In a matter of seconds, she drank all the content, peeing on her pants.

“Wow, that was a great and nice drink, right. So tell me, how was the tea my wife wanted to serve me.”King Justin smirked.

(Stammering)” it,, was,, great,, and,, sweet,, in,, taste.. Your Highness can I take my leave now.”She asked, shaking visibly.

“Oh come on, what’s your name? I would like to thank Kelly.”King Justin smirked, giving her those fake smiles of his.

(Shuttering in fear)”my name is Emery” she uttered, putting her two palms in between her laps.

“Oh, Emery, Emery”King Justin uttered, taking his time to know where he heard that name from.

“Your Highness”she called, distracting him from his thoughts.

“What did you want?”King Justin growled, moving feets away from her.

“I would like to take my leave,”she asked with a bow.

“Take a seat and rest for a while”he muttered, giving her a hard glare.

Emery didn’t hesitate to take a seat as she was told to.

**** Few minutes later****

Emery was crying silently, sniffing her nose.

“Aggh!”She cried out.

“Guards,”King Justin growled. Some guards rushed in.

“Go and get the toture guards from the toture room, tell them I need them here.”

“Who sent you here”king Justin growled, giving her a hard slap that made her fall from the chair to the floor.

The door of the throne room burst open, revealing the Queen’s physician Rana, the princesses including Fiona and Honour and lastly king Nathaniel.

“You this snitch” Queen Lola yelled, slapping her side face.

“You made my daughter lose her womb”Queen Lola screamed in tears, kicking her in the tommy.

“Father, did you drink it?”Tessa asked.

King Justin stared at her sweetly, he really missed her hugs and laughter.

“She is still caring as ever”King Justin thought, wiping his tears.

“You are crying father, did you drink it?”Tessa yelled, but couldn’t finish her words, because of what King Justin did.

He pulled Tessa into a tight hug, shedding tears.

“I miss you, I miss you, I miss hugging you. Believe me I am not doing this on my own will. I love you so much Tessa, I didn’t drink it, I gave it to her to drink it” King Justin cried on her shoulders.

“Oh! heavens, I knew it. Someone is threatening him but who?.” Tessa thought, disengaging from the hug.

“It’s fine father, trust me father. You can tell me what’s going on in your mind”Tessa pleaded, clapping her hand against each other.

King Justin was about to speak when he remembered his words.

“Tell anyone and have your whole family killed. ”

“No it’s nothing.”King Justin uttered, softly. Walking back to Emery’s case.

“Who could be threatening him, and what’s that person using to threaten him.”Tessa thought, turning around to see her father’s face, which has moved back to his cold attitude.

“Who sent you?” Royalty yelled at her.

Emery couldn’t speak, because of how she was choking on her own blood.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“King,,, King,,, King,,”Emery choked, coughing out blood.

“King what,”Tessa yelled. Crouching to her level.

“King,,, King,,”

“There’s no need to put King again, just uttered his name”Promise yelled, rubbing her forehead.

“King,,, aaah!” she couldn’t finish her words when she gave up the ghost.
