The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I continued moving. I didn't have a target destination in mind. I just wanted to go as far away as possible from the hall I left.

I felt like my decision to leave was rash. What was done was done though. There was no time to regret it now. I don't know where I would go to. The king and the Queen didn't send any messages to say my accommodations was ready. Everything was a

mess.

The only thing I can do right now was try to go back to the Queen's hall. Settling on this decision was a bit ironic.

I tried my best to leave the Queen's Palace earlier. Now, I was heading back there.

I restrained the uncomfortable feeling threading through my heart. A wise man would know when to bend or stretch.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with my decision. The King instructed the Queen to make preparations for my stay after all.

I planned to ask people for directions.

After swimming for a while, I started to see other merfolk moving around.

Some of those people wore uniforms that were similar to the ones I saw on the guards protecting the Queen. The warriors outside Rose's Palace wore the same uniform.

I had completely offended the queen even if that wasn't my original intention.

I started to rethink my decision.

Since I have no choice but to ask for directions, it would be better for me to seek the king out.

Going for the Queen's territory would just be sending myself into a lion's maws. Without the King's presence, she would be uncontrollable.

I stopped one of the female warriors that was about to swim past me.

"Please, wait." My hand grabbed her elbow.noveldrama

She looked at me with a frown, "Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"

After hearing her first question, I paused. I did not have a legal status in this underwater empire yet.

"My name is Sophia. The king brought me to the palace. I wandered off and I can't find him. Can you take me to the his Palace? If the king is not in his palace, you can bring me to wherever he is." I requested.

The moment I said my first sentence, the female warrior looked at me with a subtle emotion.

My brain quickly interpreted what that emotion meant. She was basically staring at me like I was some kind of golddigger.

Fortunately, she didn't refuse my request because of her new bias.

"Okay, follow me." She said.

She brought me directly to a unfamiliar hall.

There was numerous guards stationed in strategic positions in this hall. After she brought me to this place, she left.

The female warrior didn't say anything to me before she left. The king wasn't in the hall. I don't know if this place was under the Queen's jurisdiction.

It wasn't the same hall I visited with Sasha.

I went to one of the corners in the hall and sat down. I waited patiently.

I would not sit here for hours though. If the King doesn't appear soon, I would ask for directions again.

After staring at the decorations and guards for a very long time, my eyelids started to get heavy.

My eyelids lowered and I lost myself in the darkness that appeared.

Everything was peaceful.

Some time passed. I didn't have an accurate grasp of the time.

A hand tapped me softly. I wasn't ready to wake up from my sweet sleep.

I turned my body away from the annoying hand and continued to sleep.

The hand continued to tap me. Changing my position countless times didn't work. I had no choice but to wake up.

My eyes fluttered open and I observed my surroundings. The king was standing before me. His hand was still outstretched.

He should be the one that woke me up. He looked at me with a warm smile.

"You are awake." He said.

I wanted to roll my eyes. My eyes weren't closed anymore. The answer to his question

was very obvious but he still choose to ask anyway.

"Um." I replied.

"How did the tea party with Rose go?" He questioned.

"No comment." I said.

He wasn't offended by my nonchalant answer.

"Let me take you to your Palace. Everything is ready now I am so sorry for letting you wait." The king said.

I straightened my figure and left the extravagant hall with the King.

The palace the king assigned to me was beautiful. It looked similar to Rose's Palace.

I guess a palace like this was a universal boon for the King's concubines.

The palace was big and it had many rooms.

The king didn't follow me in. I was grateful for that.

"The servants would bring food for you later." Ge informed me.

I nodded.

I was about to close the door. There was no guards around.

I didn't want guards in the first place so I was thankful.

If I make a plan to escape in the nearest future, having guards around would increase

the chances of failure.

"Our wedding preparations is in full swing." The King announced before taking his leave.

His words were like a bombshell. It destroyed the good mood I was in.

My fingers dug into the door as I watched him leave with a poisonous gaze.

Looking at him with daggers in my eyes won't accomplish anything so I closed the door.

I found the bed and crashed into it.

My eyes closed. I wanted to continue sleeping. I needed every bit of energy.

The wedding day finally arrived.

I had been trying my best to think of anything that would be able to get me out of the King's clutches.

Unfortunately, no idea seemed like a good one.

I didn't want to marry the king. The only person I was willing to marry was Killian and

that will never change.

My Palace was decorated with beautiful shells, pearls and many more.

Numerous servants appeared in my Palace as the wedding day approached. According

to the King, they would work here permanently. Now, my Palace was bustling.

Guards were assigned to my palace too. I didn't try to escape.

Firstly, I knew it would not be successful with the layers of guards around me. Secondly, I would raise the vigilance of my captors if any attempt to escape failed. "My lady, why are you refusing to eat?" One of the female servants persuaded me. "Don't try to convince me. I am not interested in eating." I replied.
