Chapter 110
Edna
"Your Majesty." The Queen said in a soft tone, "You are here."
"Yes, I am here. If I didn't come, I wouldn't know you were bullying my people." The King replied.
He didn't look at the Queen with a good face.
The Queen's eyes brimmed with tears. She glanced at me before turning back to the King.
From her glance, I knew there would be no possibility of friendship between us from
now on.
The venom in her eyes was scalding.
"Your majesty." She called.
As she spoke, she walked up to the King and wrapped her hand around his forearm.
"I was just teaching her valuable lessons. She would be part of our royal family in the future and etiquette would be a major part of her future." Queen explained.
"You are talking about etiquette but I am seeing bullying." The king replied, Iris, this is not what you promised me when you became my queen. You said you wouldn't be a jealous Queen."
The Queen opened her mouth for a few seconds. The tears in her eyes blended with the swirling water around us.
Her red eyes was painful to behold.
"I am not bullying her." The Queen lied with a pitiful face.
The tiny bit pity I had for her disappeared instantly.
I wasn't in the mood to hear the background story of the king and queen.
Sighs just kept coming out of my mouth.
"Your majesty." I said, "Your queen obviously doesn't want me here and I don't want to
be here either. Please, let me go. You would be doing a good thing."
I knew there was a very low chance of the king letting me go. I didn't let this knowledge stop me. I wanted to convince him.
Talking didn't take anything from me. Maybe if the King got fed up by my words, he would do the right thing.
"Sophia, I told you my stance earlier. I can't let you go. You are mine." The king said.
"I am not yours. Please, get that. You can not force someone to love you. I don't even know what you see in me." I argued.
I would love an answer to my last sentence. If the king told me what made him interested in me, I would try to change it.
"I see something special in you. You are unique. You have this kind of aura around you that instantly upgrades everything about you to the next level. I want you." The king replied.
His words instantly spoiled my plan of changing the things he liked about me. I can't change the elusive aura he was talking about.
A few eyes fell on us.
The King didn't feel embarrassed by the words he was saying but I was shamed.
I couldn't stomach any of the words he was spilling.
If I wasn't the one in this precarious position, I would think the king was a loving person.
His words of love were touching. Unfortunately, he was wasting them on me.
I can not-and would not-reciprocate his feelings.
"Your majesty, why are you here? I thought you had something to take care of?" Sasha asked.
Her voice broke the silence that ensued after the King's words.
A smile bloomed on the King's lips, "Thank you for reminding me. I had forgotten what
I was here for when I saw the Queen behaving in an inappropriate manner."

"My King." The Queen sobbed.
"Don't call me." The king said in an hard tone.
"I am so sorry. I just let my feelings control me for a second. It won't happen again." The Queen apologized.
The King's eye softened, "Iris, this is the kind of behavior I want you to have. You know a single woman wouldn't be enough for a King. You knew this from the get go. You are supposed to be the example Sasha and the others would follow. If you continue like this, will you kill people under my nose because of your jealousy?"
"I will change. That is a promise, your Majesty." The Queen said.
"I hope this wouldn't be like those times you promised me to kill your jealousy but you
would turn around to make another mistake?" The King questioned.
"This is the last time. I assure you of this." The Queen promised.
"Okay, I believe you. I promised you that I wouldn't treat you badly. Throughout the years we have been married to each other, have I ever treated you badly in any way?" The king asked.
The Queen shook her head, "No. I am so sorry for disappointing you. This acts wouldn't be repeated."
"It's alright, just control yourself." The king said before turning to the guard keeping me on my knees, "Are you not going to release her? Are you waiting for an announcement before you do the needful?"
The moment the last word left the King's lips, the female guard released me and took a few step backwards.
I rose to my feet. My hand massaged my knees. The pain had faded away but my knees were numb.
"Sophia, let's go. I have somewhere I want to take you to. That is the purpose of my trip to this palace." The king said with a bright smile.
He stretched his hand towards me. I glanced at his outstretched hand before ignoring
it completely. I walked past him and left the hall.
"She is so rude. Why did she ignore the King's hand like that?" One voice whispered.
I wasn't too far from the door to the Queen's hall so those words didn't escape the reach of my ears.

"She thinks she's all that. She doesn't know her behavior is pushing her closer to losing the king's favor. She doesn't know that holding the King's hand is an honor." Sasha's jealous voice responded.
She didn't try to lower her voice at all.
I stopped listening and swam away from the hall. I didn't know the direction I was
going in and everywhere was unfamiliar.
I didn't mind this. I kept swimming away from the Queen's territory.
Soon, ripples appeared in the waters around me. I looked back to see the King. His
hand stretched out and wrapped around my right wrist.
I tried to get him to release me but he didn't budge.
I glanced at the stupid anklet on my leg. Even when it had been soaking in water for a
very long time, it was still as hardy as ever.
I stopped looking at it because it was evoking annoyance.
There was no way to get my wrist out of the king's hold so I stopped struggling.
The king had a smile on his face. He didn't behave abnormally because of the way I ignored him in front of his Queen and guards.noveldrama
His behavior was strange. It made me alert. If he showed anger on his face, things would be easier to navigate going forward but now, he wasn't just having a calm expression on his face, he was smiling.
His thoughts were hidden under that smile. I couldn't read him at all.
At first glance, the king looked like a lecherous person or a womanizer. The Queen and Sasha reinforced that fact.
Still, deep down, I knew things would be more than that. He would not be the King of this underwater empire by being weak and lustful.
"So, I want to go on a date with you in a special place. Many people recommended it
to me as a place that would give us maximum fun." The king explained.
I didn't say anything to him.
My silence continued till we arrived at the destination the King chose.
