Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

THE DAY: ROYALTY’S WEDDING.

The castle is on fire, The castle is on roll. People were running to and fro, maids were doing their jobs. Today was a glorious day. Some kept doing their usual gossip.

“This wedding isn’t right”A maid uttered, gritting her teeth.

“Why?”another asked.

“Her Majesty should be the first to get married, not Princess Royalty,”She replied.

“But she’s barren, she has no lover,,,, she’s cursed”Another interfered.

“Oh heavens, this is the same lady that saves our ass all the time, yet you all are here doing nothing but you are fit to criticize her personality and welfare.”a maid screamed.

“Heyy!!!!!, Nerd shika. If all maid’s are talking you shouldn’t interfere.”a pudgy girl muttered.

“Princess Tessa is unfortunate, her younger sister is getting married and she’s happy being single”a maid uttered, hissing loudly.

“Who does that?”A skinny girl uttered, arranging some small chops horizontally.

“I heard Prince Nathaniel is ready to spend the rest of his life with her.”,

“Prince Nathaniel!!!, They exclaimed.

“Yes,, despite being barren he still loves her.”she said.

“This is crazy, have never seen a man that wants to spend his whole life span with a barren woman”

“That’s what baffles me, how can he do such… When am here”A tall lady in a maid uniform uttered.

“You!!”They screamed and burst into a round of laughter.

“He won’t think twice before kicking you into the trash bin”she insulted.

“Hahaha, your words are amusing,—- enough of the gossip”Mrs Evelyn interfered and screamed at them.

“What was that for, Tessa has been trying her best to free you all from her father, but you all are here tanishing her imagination. And you”Mrs Evelyn screamed, pulling her uniform collar.

“We are very sorry”They apologized.

“Sorry for calling your benefactor barren, you all are ungrateful. Don’t worry you all are getting punished after this celebration”Mrs Evelyn muttered angrily, storming out the kitchen.

Few minutes later.

“Am doing the cooking today”Princess Promise uttered, putting on the apron.

“What!!”They exclaimed.

“Yes, I can’t afford anything to go wrong today, today is my sister’s wedding”Promise uttered, walking closer to the coal.

“As she wished” Mrs Evelyn interfered.

“I want everyone out of this kitchen, I am replacing you all, I just want new maids in the kitchen today. You can come back tomorrow and continue your duties.”Promise uttered.

“We are very sorry our princess, we didn’t mean to upset you”They apologized, still on their knees.

“Your time is up—get the hell out of here”Promise screamed.

The maids didn’t think twice before going out at a fast pace,

“They are getting punished for calling my sister a barren lady.”She uttered, gritting her teeth.

“You shouldn’t think about those useless discussions they had earlier,” Mrs Evelyn said.

“Oh! Really, those ungrateful brats. Am going to punish them myself after the celebration”Princess Promise muttered.

“Promise,”Mrs Evelyn called.

“Not today aunt, I am not going to forgive them.”Promise uttered, breaking the dishes feeling furiously.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Okay, Okay, Okay, calm down. You can decide their fate then. I won’t stop you”She said, and walked away.

Promise still finds herself angry. She intentionally dropped a dish on the floor, just to please herself.

“Do I look pretty?”Royalty asked anxiously.

“You look beautiful, your looks are special and great. Am confident in myself that Ryui himself won’t be able to resist your moves on his bed tonight”Honour whispered in her ear.

“Really!”she exclaimed softly.

Honour exhaled shapely and touched her shoulders, staring at her reflection from the mirror” Ask yourself that question, do I look beautiful”Honour encouraged.

“Am I beautiful?”she asked, smiling happily.

“Oh, I can see you can’t hide your happiness,”Tessa uttered, walking around her.

“Am I pretty enough Tessa?”Royalty asked, touching her face.

“Did you just ask me that question?—- oh my gosh, you look beautiful , breathtaking, your touch is extraordinary. “She said.

“Okay, the mirror whispered into my ear and said” am good to go”Royalty uttered confidently.

“Yeah, come on. Get up, you should be at the venue”Tessa uttered, assisting her to get up on her feet.

*************

King Ryui and his family were waiting impatiently. Different thoughts kept running in Ryui’s mind, he held his mom’s hand tightly. Brianna chuckled at his restlessness.

“Are you scared?”she asked softly.

“I want to be sincere Brianna, am fucking scared right now.”he admitted.

Brianna laughed silently and held his hand”Did you believe that she will leave you today of all days. Don’t be childish, be positive Ryui”Brianna uttered, touching his shoulder.

“I love her so much, I might run mad if she leaves me”King Ryui uttered as tears formed in his eyes.

“I know you love her, but still—- The bride’s presence is getting near”S guard announced.

“You see, she’s here. Ladies dressing takes a lot of time, hope you gonna endure that”Brianna uttered, patting his left shoulder.

“Yeah, I am gonna do everything to satisfy Royalty,”King Ryui uttered, adjusting his regalia.

The wide size door of the hall could be seen opening widely for Princess Royalty, Her Majesty Tessa, Lady Fiona, Lady Honour, Princess Promise and lastly Mrs Evelyn. Royalty couldn’t hide her tears and happiness, she looked at her mother, Queen Lola and Queen Kelly.

She looked at her father King Justin and smiled. She took the stairs slowly, staring at Ryui who’s standing in front of the priest. Her Majesty Tessa and the rest left her when she was about to take the stairs except her best friend honour, who held her long stoned wedding gown

“The bride should please come forward”The priest said, stretching out his hand for her position. Royalty smiled and stood where he wanted her to.

They did their necessary procedure and now it’s time for their vows.

“Did you take Royalty Brown as a lawful wedded wife, to bow and obey, in health, in riches, in sorrow, in sickness and in pain.

King Ryui uttered “Yes I do.

“Did you take —-stop this wedding?”Some yelled, interrupting the priest.

Everyone murmured, turning their gaze to the door and a loud gasp escaped from their lips.

“What the hell”promised murmurs.

“On my wedding day”Royalty cried.

“This is not gonna end well” Tessa thought, moving her gaze at Royalty.
