BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

Chapter 50



“Archer you’re not serious right now?” I asked as tears already smudged my view.

“Well yes I am not serious” He said bluntly as he smirked on seeing the tears in my eyes.

“You look so annoying when you cry…”

Even if he has a slut with him I do not have a say over it, he is King by the way.

“You should stop joking in such manner” I said in a smile wiping off my tears.

“Hence you ain’t coming to my room with me good night then” he said turning towards the hallway exit, I was lucky that my room was in same hallway with Lady Ann which means that I don’t have to stress myself walking down the stairs “just bare in mind that you are going to be occupying Zinnia’s room from tomorrow” He announced as I signed deeply.

Now he wants me closer to him, this time I won’t be able to avoid him at all and I will be far from my new friend Lady Ann.

I batted my lashes steadily from the brightness that shone to my face and the noises I heard around me as I opened my eyes to see the maids taking my clothes and stuffs out of my room.

I sat up as I stretched weakly yawning loudly as the maids turned to me.

“Good morning my queen” They greeted almost in unison as they bowed and continued with their duty.

I swung my legs down from the bed standing up and tying up my robe properly as I headed out of my room to the second door in my hallway which was Charlie and Liam’s room, I opened the door to see them still sleeping innocently they should be really tired after a long journey…I will definitely throw up a million times in such journey.

I quietly shut the door as I walked to the next room which was Lady Ann’s room, I let a gentle knock as I opened the door to see her arranging her jewelries into a little box, I must say she is the jewelry kind of woman because she has a lot of beautiful and expensive jewelries that I wondered if she remembers to wear most of them.

“Good morning lady Ann, how was your night?” I asked as I sat on the couch watching her smiley face as she kept the box inside the wardrobe.

“Well… I didn’t sleep, I had a lot of fashion magazines to read” She said showing me piles of them on the bed.

“I must say, you read a lot and you love fashion” I pointed as she nodded steadily.

“You’re not wrong dear, I love fashion a lot and I try my best in it and for the reading?, I won’t say I read a lot exactly but I try…just using the magazines to make myself happy in my husband’s absence” She said letting out a sad smile.

“You have us now Lady Ann and I promise to be a good relative to you” I said in a smile as she nodded.

I took my moment to appreciate her looks, she indeed was a fashion freak her hair jewelry, nose ring, anklet and toe rings all looked superb and expensive… Her night robe says a lot about her fashion sense.

“Just came to check up on you, I will be leaving now to go wash my teeth and take my bath” I said and left her room.

Moving out of her room a sudden force took me out of the spot I was to a hidden corner which made my head spin a little as I raised my head to see my look alike, I was surprised to see her as it has been a while we met.

“Hey!, Cassandra it’s been a while we saw each other” I muttered as I kept breathing hard due to shock of what happened earlier, I thought of hugging her but hence we never hugged before I felt it would be weird…Just in-between my thoughts she pulled me into a warm hug, she was acting jelly that I wondered what was making her so excited.

“Pearl Guess what!?” She whispered clapping excitedly as I raised my brows not knowing what to guess “My curse has been broken!, Helping you helped me break my curse!” She said excitedly as I smiled knowing how happy she was and knowing that living in curse can’t be anyway good.

“Wow that good news Cassandra! But… Why do you still look like me?” I asked staring at her curiously as she suddenly wore off into the warrior Rufus.

“Wait… It’s been you all this while? Why did you have to lie about your identity?” I said raising my voice loudly as she pulled me closer.

“I did all that to help your husband and you see…he believed!” She shrugged as I signed pulling away from her hold.

“So there is no Archer’s Mom and all you said?” I asked as she nodded, Archer might me angry if he hears this.

“This isn’t my real face tho…” He said wearing off into a beautiful young lady of my age with shiny white hair, A hair as white as snow and a beautiful green eyes.

She looked so beautiful!… She is a forest goddess anyways.

“Wow you’re really beautiful Cassandra. But how did I break your curse?” I asked curiously.

“Helping A woman that has a blue blood in her has possibilities of breaking a curse for some reasons, it doesn’t always work though… Let’s just say I was Lucky. Now I can switch faces anytime I want, Rest under any tree or any part of the forest I want and most amazing part of it all… My wings are now invisible!” She obviously couldn’t control her euphoria but suddenly her facial expression dropped to sadness.

“What’s wrong?, Why the sudden mood swings?” I asked curiously looking into her green beautiful eyes.

“I am sorry Pearl but helping me break my curse will cost you something?” She said as my eyes shone in curiously.

“What will it cost me!?, Death!?” I nearly yelled as tears glittered in my eyes.

“You will give birth prematurely” She announced keeping me in the state of dysphoria.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

I was fully packed into my new room which Zinnia occupied before, I sat on my bed staring blankly at sage who did a good job in her pedicure service.

My mind wasn’t at rest as Cassandra’s words kept echoing in my head, I have never heard that anyone in the history of Guham ever delivered a premature baby not even in other Kingdoms surrounding us.

I was scared because I felt like people might hate my baby and see him as a curse to the royal home and the Kingdom, what if they kill my baby… I felt tears glitter in my eyes as I blinked it back to avoid questions.

Sage has been quiet avoiding me for a while now and I understand her, she definitely will be seeing me as a dangerous person after what I did.

“Sage…?”

“Yes, my queen” she replied raising her head.

“What do you know about kid’s born prematurely?” I asked worriedly trying hard not to show my emotions.

“I don’t know anything about prematurely born babies because I have never heard anyone that gave birth to one…any problem my queen?” She asked as I shaked my head.

“Not exactly… But what do you think might happen if any woman gives birth to a premature baby?” I asked as she signed.

“I can’t tell, such babies might be accepted anyways but no Guhamian can give birth to such baby because our women are well taken care of” She said facing back to her work as I bite my lips in frustration, A Guhamian is definitely giving birth to one soon and that’s me.

Everywhere became weirdly quiet in the room as suddenly I heard a crying voice from outside obviously pleading for mercy.

“Sage what’s going on outside?…” I said standing up headed towards the window peeping down but I couldn’t see what was going on as they where in the other corner of the castle.

“The King has decided to kill Zinnia and Fox today” she simply said as my eyes shone in shock, their will be blood in the castle today!?.

I could see the citizens of Guham walking in which got me even more shocked, they will be killed in a shameful way.

I quickly ran out of my room headed outside of the castle to see Zinnia and Fox placed on a rock with their hands chained together… I wondered the manner in which they would die.

“Today marks the day that this two life’s ends by the order of the King of Guham, as we all know… adultery is punishable by law and this two has committed sin in the sight of King Archer of Guham therefore they will pay with their heads” The head Knight Announced as the guard handed him a very sharp Axe.

The chatting noise of the people of Guham was just all over the place that one definitely won’t hear himself.

I turned to King Archer who stared at the scene like it was no big deal … Was he really gonna let them behead Fox and expecially Zinnia just for a one time mistake?, Maybe it wasn’t a one time mistake but…this isn’t right!?.
