Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

King Justin and Mrs Evelyn sat quietly on his bed. Staring at the atmosphere.

“You can take your time”Mrs Evelyn uttered, faking her smile.

King Justin breathed and sighed deeply”This is how I met Ashlyn”He paused and continued not after making a naughty chuckle.

“I don’t like staying with my parents, because of their arguments. So I stayed with my grandmother in another kingdom. When I was around twenty years of age, I started taking my lessons around the kingdom and Ashlyn was one of these nerds that happens to read books more than making friends. She loves to read more about nature and pets.

Her personality caught my attention and I started talking to her, talking to wasn’t easy though. I learned a lot from her and she wasn’t aware of my royalty. I acted like a normal person, I let down my arrogant attitude.

She changed me totally. Soopers was my best friend back then and Varaganisa was a junior with a year class, but we are all the same age with just a month difference.

I told Soopers the feelings I have for Ashlyn not knowing he also has feelings for her. I found out his feelings for Ashlyn and that was when the main problem started. My three years schooling in that kingdom wasn’t in vain. I confessed my feelings for Ashlyn first and she accepted my proposal.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Soopers didn’t talk to me for weeks but Ashlyn said I should take my mind off someone that can’t assist his friend in his decision and feelings. Ashlyn and I dated for three years but something happened before the third year could complete.

Ashlyn intentionally gave me her body on my birthday. She was a virgin which made me special and I felt guilty for hiding my true Identity, So I confessed my true Identity to her. She felt betrayed the moment I confessed my true Identity but she smiled and forgave me instantly.

A week after increasing our bond, I received a letter from my parents about my father’s departure. I met Ashlyn in person and explained things to her. She supported my decision to visit my kingdom and take over.

I took her to my grandmother and she was in support of our relationship but she said she didn’t know about my mother because it’s a rule that a royal blood must marry a royal blood. I tried to make Ashlyn come with me but she said. He paused, sniffing his nose which seemed to be watery.

She said I should go and get the throne and explain our relationship to my mother. Because she wasn’t ready to face embarrassment. I was forced to go but I promised to come back.

That’s when I left, but there’s no day I didn’t write to her, Explaining how things were going smoothly for me but she wrote back explaining how things were good but Soopers wasn’t ready to leave her alone. She asked if I had explained our relationship to my mother. I told her I haven’t because of how other kingdoms were against my coronation ceremony. She said I should take my time.

Unfortunately, The day I explained everything to my mother was the day I didn’t hear anything from Ashlyn. I wrote to her for two days but I didn’t get a reply. I set off on the journey to visit her, I got there but the building alone was empty. That’s how, I didn’t get to see Ashlyn again.

“Do you know the funniest part?”King Justin asked as tears streamed down his cheeks.

“No I don’t,”Mrs Evelyn replied.

“My mother was in support of our relationship, she said she doesn’t care about those damn rules because my dad treated her like a piece of trash. Everyday was domestic violence for my mother. I came home feeling down, I tried all my best to find her. But I don’t know where to look for her”King Justin ends his words with a heavy headache.

Mrs Evelyn sighed deeply.

“I will pick it from where you didn’t receive her letters anymore.

Weeks After your departure, I found out that Ashlyn was eight weeks pregnant. I asked her who got her pregnant because she’s just twenty years of age. She started dating you when she was eighteen years of age. I was celebrating my twenty three years of age when I found out she was pregnant.

She said it was someone she loves. I tried to get the truth from her but everything was in vain. Soopers started visiting and got to know she was pregnant, he brought a lot of things to take care of her. Ashlyn wasn’t ready to accept them, she gave out those gifts to the helpless, it was like she hated him to the core.

I thought King Soopers was a kind person, he told me he was Ashlyn Lover’s best friend. Which was true because Ashlyn admitted to it. Soopers visited as usual and gave us bad news.

“What news?”King Justin asked curiously.

“Your departure, he said you passed away on a battlefield.”

“That bastard,”King Justin cursed, letting down his tears.

Mrs Evelyn sniffed back her nose and continued her words….

That was when I knew Ashlyn was pregnant for a royal blood, Soopers revealed his true Identity to me and gained my trust and suggested we move away from here, because of the memories. Before we moved away the next day I called Ashlyn the night before.

I told her we should visit his parents and let them know they have a grandchild but she insisted that she’s not going because you haven’t written any letter to her that day, that means you truly passed away. She said she didn’t know if her mother would accept her.

I understood her words and her pain, so we suggested moving away the next day. Before we moved, she waited for your letter but we saw none.
