Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

A loud sobs could be heard coming out of the room, everyone looked worried including the maids. Fiona couldn’t hide her tears.

“My princess, can you let me in please. I know you don’t like acting weak in front of everyone, at least let me in, please.” Fiona cried.

A loud clattering could be heard enough to damage the ear.

“Nevaeh Tessa Brown!!!”Queen Lola screamed.

“What the hell has gotten into you, I thought you said you are not weak, but I can see you are weak more than things you say. Stand up Nevaeh. Neveah, la muerte es por una cierta razón. ( Neveah, death is for a certain reason). “Queen Lola communicated in Spanish which is another language Tessa knows.

“Don’t communicate with my Spanish mother. I don’t want anyone, I want to be alone. si alguien se acerca a mí, no lo pensaré dos veces antes de arrancar la cabeza. solo quiero a Fiona. (if anyone come near me, I won’t think twice before ripping off their head, I want Fiona only.)”

“Am fucking tired of this, why are you two communicating in Spanish”King Justin yelled.

“She doesn’t want us around except Fiona”Queen Lola muttered, walking out of the scene.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Promise, go and send a message to Royalty about what’s going on,”Fiona informed.

“Okay, I will write to her. Just a two hours journey to king Ryui kingdom”Princess Promise smiled about turning around.

“Hey, hope you are not the one going to deliver it, give it to the castle messenger”

“Sure, I will give it to the castle messenger,”Promise replied, running to her Chamber.

“Tessa, open the door. Am the one only person left”Fiona uttered exhaling softly.

Shortly, the giggling of keys could be heard.

Fiona gasped loudly”Tessa!!”She called, feeling frightened.

“What the hell is this on your face?”Fiona asked.

“He left me,”Tessa stuttered. Fiona rushed in and shut the door.

“He didn’t Tessa, he’s here”Fiona uttered, touching her chest.

“He died because of me”She wailed loudly.

“No he didn’t”Fiona uttered gently.

“Shut up, shut up. Were you there? I said he died because of me, I distracted him. He would have won the battle, if I wasn’t there, he wants me to give him a child. He wants to be a father. I , I , I killed him. I’m a wicked soul, I hate myself. “Tessa cried, holding her head. Fiona was speechless.

“I don’t understand your words, my Princess,”she asked.

“Fiona am doomed”Tessa cried.

” She looked pale,”Fiona thought.

“Can you explain everything to me?”Fiona asked.

“We got intimate on our engagement night, I lost my virginity three days ago, I didn’t know how it happened, I don’t remember much. All I could remember was that after everything I slept off because of the pains. We were attacked at midnight.

Queen Lydia wanted me to stay behind but I insisted. I just wanted to check if we were fine but I didn’t know I was making a mistake, the moment I called him he lost focus and– Don’t say it, don’t say anything. I understand,”Fiona cried, hugging her tightly.

“He told me a few words before he died.”Tessa uttered, squeezing her clothes angrily. Fiona sniffed.

“He said, if I later get pregnant with him, I should name them Damian or Penelope,”Tessa smiled.

“Oh heavens, this is too much to take,”Fiona uttered, standing up on her feet.

“Fiona, I need some space. I want to breathe in fresh air. I feel suffocated”Fiona muttered.

“Would you like to walk around the castle?”She asked.

“No, I want to go somewhere far from the castle, outside of this kingdom.”Tessa uttered softly, sitting on her queen size bed.

“Hold on, let me go and get you a cup of water.”Fiona uttered, rushing out of her room.

Royalty rushed in seconds later.

“Tessa!!”Royalty called as hot tears formed in eyes.

“Oh heavens, I missed you?”Tessa cried.

“How are you feeling?”Royalty asked.

“Miserable”

“Don’t worry, you will be fine”Royalty replied, pecking her cheeks.

“I want to get pregnant,”Tessa cried, holding her hand.

Royalty was slack-jawed about her sudden request.

“You will, the universe will grant you one.”Royalty uttered, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“Here Tessa, have your cup of water.”Fiona uttered. She took it and gulped it down.

She started feeling dizzy seconds later.

“You gave her a sleeping herb,”Royalty asked.

“Yeah, she needs to rest, after passing through those stress”Fiona replied, Royalty snorted.

“She said she wants to get pregnant”Royalty murmurs sadly.

“The physician said she can’t mother a child.”Fiona replied, staring at the cool blue sky weather.

“I don’t know what to say Fiona”Royalty uttered.

“Did you give her the sleeping herb?”The Queen asked.

“Yes, she’s asleep now,”Fiona answered.

“Oh heavens, protect my only daughter,” Queen Lola sobbed.

“Lady Fiona”Honour called.

“Huh”

“Mrs Evelyn called,”Honour replied.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. My queen, I would like to go to the market with Lady Fiona and Honour”Mrs Evelyn asked for permission.

“Yes, you can. Please come back early because of Tessa”Queen Lola replied, granting her request.

“What happened to the maids?”Royalty asked.

“They are busy with the chores,”Mrs Evelyn said.

“Okay, Fiona come back if you think you are getting late”Queen Lola uttered, waking back to her Chamber. Even one departed.

*****

Two Hours later.

A loud grunt, and groan filled her room. Oh damn you Fiona”Tessa groaned. Walking closer. She picked some random clothes, heading to her bathroom. Nathaniel’s last words kept coming to her head, she sniffled and went under the shower.

She came out of the shower minutes later and dried her body. She did the necessary things left.

“Where is Fiona?”Tessa asked around.

“She went to the market with Mrs Evelyn, her majesty,”they replied.

“Okay, it’s like I will go alone,”Tessa uttered.

“I will follow you,”Royalty said behind her.

“I thought you wanted to spend some time with me, Royalty,”King Ryui pouted.

“When I am back, for now let me enjoy my time with my sister, she needs me,”Royalty replied.

“Can I also join?”Princess Promise smiled.

“I think we should call this, sisters hurting,”Tessa muttered..

They laughed, walking out the castle.

“We don’t need any guards, we are going to the outskirts of the castle.”Tessa screamed.

“Your swords, my princesses”A guard reminded me.

“Don’t worry, we will be fine, I took my bow and arrow. Royalty can take a sword”Tessa replied. And they did as they were told to.

*****

“This is fun Tessa,”Promise screamed, running around the jungle.

“Naughty girl”Tessa scoffs.

“This feeling is so fresh, when was the last time I breathed in fresh air.”Royalty screamed.

“Enough of those screams, I need to rest my brain”Tessa shunned.

“Oookay”They replied, emphasizing the word “okay”.

Royalty moves closer to Tessa, lying next to her. Promise took out the fruits she brought.

“We discovered something while you all are gone”Promise uttered.

“About what?”Tessa asked.

“Someone, told father that King Nathaniel was assassinated, that night”Promise muttered.

“King varaganisa!!”Tessa muttered.

“That bastard needs to be dead,”Royalty hissed.

“Am going to teach him a lesson”Tessa uttered.

Silence took over.

“Am bored”promise pouted.

“Same here”Royalty uttered. She was about to pick up a strawberry when two arrows were shot at her and promise.

“Arrgggh, promise screamed.

“Get behind me”Tessa roared.

“I can’t move Tessa,”Royalty uttered, holding her head.

“Am feeling dizzy Nevaeh”Promise stuttered and passed out, Royalty also passed out.

Who the hell are you? You attacked with arrows and not a sword, such a coward, come out and– she couldn’t complete her words in light of the fact that she was covered in the nose.

“Nathaniel,”She uttered before passing out.
