A Night With The King

“You kissed me, if that’s what you want to know but nothing else happened after that,”

Sophie told him with her head still bowed.

“I kissed you or you kissed me? Don’t lie to me Sophie, it will not end well for you,”

He let out. Sophie lifted her head for a moment and met his eyes, the fact that he was the king and could get away with anything doesn’t mean he can gaslight her about what happened last night when she had been the sober one who had put a stop to his madness, something that would never have happened in the first place if he didn’t come to her. He didn’t even let her tell him what he did to her after the kiss, how he made her work throughout the night catering to his needs.

“Why would I lie about something like that?”

She asked, still not taking her eyes away from him, she wanted to but if she did, he would assume she was really making things up, he was already doing it and she needed him to drop that narrative before he runs with it and make her pay for something she didn’t do.

“You are talking back to your king and looking directly into my eyes? Where did you drop your respect, woman? I am the king!”

He let out and she was done, consequences be damned, she stood up and walked up to him king sure the distance between them wasn’t all that much.

“The fuck you are, no one is arguing that fact, your majesty but don’t fucking try to gaslight me into taking the blame for something that is clearly your fault, you fucking came to me while being disgustingly drunk, kissed me with alcohol-infested mouth even while knowing I am pregnant and alcohol might harm my child, then you went right ahead and messed the whole place up that I had to spend hours cleaning, let’s not stop there, I couldn’t get a wink of sleep last night and now you want me to take the blame for your fault? Fuck you and your kingdom your majesty,”

Sophie yelled out each word with all the pent-up anger in her, she couldn’t stand here and let him talk to her like that just because he was the king, she cared not for what he might do to her or maybe she did but her anger was above her caring right now.

“So now you are talking back and even using swear words? Have you lost your mind?”

He yelled out. if he expected her to bow or give in because of his raised voice then he was in for a shock, she didn’t know what came over her and she knew she might regret everything later but right now, she couldn’t bring herself to remain silent, maybe it was the lack of sleep or maybe it was her hormones, she just didn’t want him to win over her.

“I am talking back, yes, what do you expect? When you are accusing me of something that is not my fault, you,”

She let out poking him in the chest.

“You came here last night on your own, you kissed me, you made me not catch a single sleep by your stupid demands, and you have the mind to tell me I am lying to your face? Fuck you Lancelot, I don’t care what you can do or who you are, you messed with my mental health first so don’t fucking act a fool right now, none of this would have happened if you just fucking stayed in your room, and away from me,”

She let out. He caught the hand that she used to poke him and held on to it. She didn’t even struggle to let go nor did she try to break eye contact.

“You, how dare you?”

He roared in anger.

“Yeah, how dare me, a commoner, talk back to the king? Behead me then or send me back to prison, do your worse, I will rather be dead or be back in that damn hellhole than be near you and be subjected to your constant presence which is more torture than any physical pain can cause,”

Sophie let out. He wanted to silence her but she refused to let him do that. She already started and may as well hold off until the end even though she didn’t want to die or go back to prison.

“Can you stick to your words if I did as you just said, are you sure you won’t be crying and begging?”

He asked in a much calmer voice and he even let her go, she put some distance between them.

“Do your worst, Lancelot, I am not scared of you, I mean I was, but not anymore, what more can you do to me anyway?”

She let out.

“You have lost your mind, I can see that, I am going to let you reflect on what you have done wrong Sophie, talking back at me, calling out my name, and looking me directly in the eyes, you will hear back from me soon, watch your back,”

He let out and walked by her out of the room, she followed behind him as she still had more to say to him.

“I will be waiting for your worse, your majesty, bring it on, and while at that, fix your alcohol issue,”

She fired at him. He stopped moving and turned back to her, his eyes glaring daggers at her, she finally gave in and ran back into the room and shut the door behind her when he started walking towards her, she waited by the door for him to bang on it but after about five minutes of waiting and he didn’t move, she slowly opened the door and peeped out, the house was empty, she looked around to be sure he was hiding to make her go out but he was nowhere to be seen so she finally let out a sigh of relief and stepped out of the room.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“What have you done Sophie?”

She let out as she sank to the floor and held her head with both hands, she dared to talk back to the king, called him names, and even told him to do his worse, oh, there is no way he would spare her now, he would definitely send people to come get her before the day runs out, she sold herself out.

“I should have kept quiet and also lied about the kiss, I would have avoided more troubles for myself,”

She lamented bitterly, wishing she had a time machine to go back and undo things but since that was not possible, she just had to live with the consequences of her actions, she just has to wait for him to send his people to come get her and no matter what happens, she would do her best not to beg or make a scene.
