The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"Your majesty, who is this?" The new arrival's cold eyes turned into warm inviting ones when she faced the King.

"This is Sophia. She is going to be my wife soon." The king said.

"No." I chipped in.

"Don't mind her, she is just behaving strangely because she is not yet accustomed to things." The king replied.

"Wow, a new sister." The lady's voice was exaggerated and it was filled with false sweetness.

I rolled my eyes. Who wanted to be her sister?

Her voice sent a shiver down my spine.

'Eww.'

I was not the King, she should stop using that voice immediately.

I didn't say that thought out loud though.

"Rose, since you are here, just join us." The king proposed.

"I wasn't planning to leave anyway." Rose continued to speak in a saccharine voice.

"What should be the next thing on the agenda?" The king questioned as he glanced at both Rose and I.

I didn't speak. The desire to experience the amusement park to the fullest wasn't there anymore. I just wanted the king to finish his charade so I would get quality rest.

"I know where we can go, your majesty. I want to add a new doll to my collection. It will be a beautiful thing for you to win one for me." Rose made the trip all about her.

I wasn't complaining. It would be best if she took the King miles and miles away from

me.

"That is a very good idea, Rose. Let's do that." The king responded before turning to me, "Sophia, stop staying so far away. Come closer."

I moved a little bit closer but I still maintained a little distance between the King and I.

The king brought us to where we would get those dolls. It was a claw machine.

This world was really advanced. I could see the high level of their technology in everything. Machine were working underwater without any signs of wear and tear. It was miraculous.

Like the King and I had experienced before, the workers in charge of this claw machine gave the king great treatment.

He didn't need to buy the coins that he would use to play with the claw machine. Those coins were given to him for free.

The King started playing.

Rose was watching him with an idolizing look in her eyes. She was practically worshiping his every move.

On the other hand, I turned my eyes away from the King and the claw machine booth entirely.

I started to gaze at the people in the amusement park having fun.

The fun they were having was contagious. I wasn't experiencing what they were feeling personally but some of the happiness emanating from them got to me. My lips curved up into a small smile.

"Sophia, are you smiling because of my prowess?" The King's annoying voice interrupted my peaceful observation.

He shoved a doll into my hand. I look down.

The doll was made using a cow's image. It was beautiful.noveldrama

An heated gaze landed on me and the doll. I traced it to the source. I wasn't so surprised to see Rose glaring at me like I had stolen her life savings.

I smiled brightly at Rose. Her eyes darkened.

She didn't have any doll with her. It seems the King gave me his first prize. Her poisonous stare finally got an explanation.

She stopped looking at me and went closer to the King.

"My King, are you not going to win something for me too? I brought you here because

I wanted a doll. You are behaving unfairly." She whined.

The king nodded, "I will win a doll for you too."

After speaking, he went to work again.

A few minutes passed by and he caught another doll. This time, he didn't take too long

to grab the doll as long. I couldn't enjoy my observation of the other people in the amusement park.

The rest of the time we spent in the amusement park passed by in a blur.

We went on three more rides including a honeycomb ride.

Rose, the King and I finally got to the entrance of the amusement park.

The king looked satisfied and the smile on his face remained constant.

"My King, are we going to head elsewhere after leaving this amusement park? I don't know if you are busy but I feel like Sophia and I can entertain ourselves." Rose said.

"I have something to do but I prefer to hang out with you two." The king replied.

"My King, you should go and finish the task you have to do. You can spend time with us anytime. Sophia and I will sort ourselves out. She is the new addition to our family and she has to network. She has to foster a good relationship with the rest of the sisters too. I have a tea party coming up in a few minutes, she should join." Rose proposed.

Even if I thought with my feet, I knew Rose didn't make that offer with good intentions.

I looked at the king.

"I want to rest. I haven't rested since I arrived in this place." I said.

I wasn't in the mood to be targeted by Rose and any other people that were in her group.

Rose looked at me with playful displeasure, "Sophia, don't talk like that. You would have plenty time to rest later. This tea party wouldn't even take long. Just 40 minutes at most."

King nodded in agreement to Rose's words, "Sophia, you would become my wife soon. You have to learn a few things from your predecessors. Rose knows more than you, especially since you come from the surface. Go with her to the tea party. Besides, your accomodations isn't prepared yet. By the time you finish with the tea party, your accommodation and everything else would be ready."

I looked at the King and Rose. Rose had a smug look on her face.

I knew there was no way I would be able to avoid following Rose to that tea party.

"I don't want to go to the tea party. I can network later." I told the King.

I wanted to make a last ditch effort. This request had a high chance of failure. I still

pressed on. If I didn't do this, I would regret not trying.

I don't even know why the king is behaving like.

Was he not seeing those tricks Rose, Sasha and the Queen were doing? Was it because

I was a woman so I understood those underhanded tricks better?

No, someone that got the throne of this underwater empire wouldn't be that closed up from his surrounding and other people.

If he had an inkling of the tricks his wives play, why was he forcing me to be involved?

Was he using this petty harem fights to keep his wives occupied?

Why would he want to keep them preoccupied?

I didn't rule out the reality of him just being a wise man that was also lustful. Those

things might not be mutually exclusive.

Conspiracy theories flew around in my mind.

Unfortunately, the answers to my questions and theories wouldn't be forthcoming anytime soon or even at all.

"Go." The King commanded.

The tone of his voice was a bit different than its normal range. I knew there was no going back from his decision anymore.
