Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

Honour kept pacing to and fro the passage.

“What could be keeping her waiting Fiona”Honour asked.

“I don’t know honour, I just know she’s in there for a reason,”She replied.

“I just wished I could barge in and pull her out but King Justin doesn’t like seeing people in his room”Honour muttered.

“Should I peep?”She murmurs.

“Get ready to serve your head to the dogs”Fiona chuckled and signed worriedly.

She laughed and sighed softly.

“Am just wondering how the princess is faring. “Honour pouted.

“I can’t wait to get my feet back to my kingdom and start the search”Fiona uttered.

“I just hope my mother thinks ahead, and why is she taking too long”Honour murmurs sadly.

“Don’t worry, she will be out very soon”Fiona patted her hair cutely.

“If she had listened to you, everything would have been different,”King Justin stuttered.

“It would have been better,”Mrs Evelyn replied and exhaled softly.

We moved away and went to start our lives afresh in another kingdom. Soopers did everything to win Ashlyn’s heart over but she was determined not to have anything to do with him. She worked every single day. Even though I told her not to, she didn’t listen.

Our lives continue that way. One fateful day, Soopers brought her to a special physician to check her up every single day. She wasn’t ready to have anything to do with the physician and Soopers. Unfortunately, before her nine months could be completed she went to labour the sixth month. She had no choice but to accept the Young physician.

Ashlyn was pregnant with two boys but the other second one died before he saw about to breathe in the world air. The first one survived it. she was happy to have a baby for you. Even though you weren’t there, she was very happy because she said the baby took your eyeballs but took her face.

Few hours after Ashlyn’s birth, she started bleeding, the bleeding wasn’t stopping, it kept flowing. She gave up the ghost that moment, Her last words were — she said she loves you.

“Arrgggh”King Justin screamed, falling on his knees.

“I love you Ashlyn, there’s nothing like one’s first love. I caused this”King Justin cried, blaming himself.

“It’s fine, she loves you also. Let’s forget everything, right now we need to find Ramiro and the Princesses.

“Did you see the dead baby?”King Justin asked with a broken voice.

“No I didn’t, the young physician told me so,”Mrs Evelyn replied.

“Something is not right,”King Justin doubted.

“Like what?”she asked.

“Ramiro’s twin brother is not dead”He uttered.

A loud gasp escaped Mrs Evelyn’s lips.

“Soopers”she called with gritted teeth.

“Yes, his twin brother is with Soopers,”King Justin muttered.

“What are we going to do?”Mrs Evelyn panicked.

“We will have to set him free,”King Justin uttered.

***** **

Mrs Evelyn burst out of King Justin Chambers panting heavily.

“Honour!!”He called with a blatant voice.

“Mother”Honour stormed on her feet.

“Go and pack some of your clothes and food, we are going to King Seven’s kingdom in the next one hour.”She uttered, rushing her words.

“What happened to Mrs Evelyn?”Fiona asked, worriedly.

“I don’t think I have enough time to explain this,”Mrs Evelyn replied.

“You can explain to us, we will wait”Fiona replied.

Mrs Evelyn opened the empty room next to them and dragged them.

*****

“What??”They exclaimed, covering their mouths.

“Why did you lie to me, mother?”Honour yelled.

“Lying to you has nothing to do with the matter on ground. He’s still your elder brother and he will always be okay”Mrs Evelyn scolded.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“How will we get his twin brother out of that bastard hole”Fiona asked.

“I will have to disguise myself in order to enter his castle,”Mrs Evelyn uttered.

“You can’t do this alone, Mrs Evelyn, ”Fiona uttered.

“I just have to risk something, but I will have to visit King Seven before I do anything. He might assign some guards to assist me in this”Mrs Evelyn explained.

“Okay, I will go and arrange myself. Am embarking this afternoon”Fiona uttered.

She turned around walking to the door.

“I will miss you”Honour pouted, as tears formed in her eyes.

Fiona chuckled and pulled her into a tight hug”I will miss you too, gossip Queen.”Fiona uttered with a soft laughter.

“Enough of the hugs, go and pack your bags,”Mrs Evelyn uttered, walking out of the room.

Fiona and Honour disengaged from the hug.

“Enough of those tears, Honour, am still coming back”Fiona scolded.

“Promise me, you will write to me and inform me how things are going in your kingdom including the sisters”Honour pouted.

“I will, only if I have time for that. Am not promising but I will surely write to you when I have enough time, huh.”Fiona replied, pecking her cheeks.

*****

Fiona and her personal guards arranged their bags neatly..

“How did you cope with her , my princess?”Raymond asked.

“Am doing great, especially Tessa. She’s always with me, I wasn’t treated like a slave or maid”Fiona replied with a smile.

“Your secret lover Levi and Alex had a fight during your absence” Sebastian, the youngest among them, blurted out .

“What??”Fiona exclaimed, moving her gaze at Alex.

“It’s not what you are thinking”Alex uttered, going on his knees.

“Explain everything to me,”She asked.

“He was very angry at me when you went missing, he blamed me for not protecting you. I tried to explain to him about the situation but he wasn’t ready to listen. Our conversation took a turn around and we fought. A week after our fight, he came and apologized. It’s just that his face looks calm and worries less.”Alex said.

“That means he got my message”Fiona thought and smiled.

“He said a statement that he will wait for you till you come back” Alex uttered, staring at Fiona weirdly.

“I sent him a message, He knows I am fine.”Fiona replied, arranging her room neatly.

“What?” He knows you are perfectly fine”They asked.

“Yes, he knows I’m fine,”she replied, laughing hysterically.

“No wonder, he was worried less, he has his own home, bigger than the first one. He’s rich in everything, “Alex muttered.

“Are you jealous?”Fiona asked him a shocking question.

“Am not, why will I be jealous?”He replied coldly.

“We are ready, Fiona”Honour burst in. Interrupting their conversation. Fiona and her guards turned their attention to the childish Honour.

“Honour!!”Fiona shouted.

“Am sorry princess Fiona”She uttered with a chuckle.

Fiona smiled and bowed down her head “Am sorry for yelling at you Princess Honour ”Fiona uttered, trying her best not to laugh.

Alex, Raymond and Sebastian were staring at Fiona weirdly.

“Princess Fiona doesn’t talk to random people like this”Raymond whispered.

“She’s not a random person, but a princess,”Sebastian uttered.

“Princess Fiona is just using the princess there to joke with her,”Raymond uttered.

“Enough, she’s going to be a princess very soon”Alex uttered, separating them.

“Am done, come over here Sebastian”Fiona called.

“Alex, go and assist Mrs Evelyn with her luggages. “Fiona ordered.

Flash Back….

“I’m about to leave for my journey, Your Highness”Mrs Evelyn informed.

“I have arranged some guards to assist and guard you for this journey.”He answered, picking some political books arranged on the shelves.

“Okay, Your Highness,”She replied with a bow.

“Write to me, and let me know if you need anything or how far you have gone.”King Justin uttered again.

“I will Your Highness” Mrs Evelyn answered.

“Fiona will also like to come along”

Mrs Evelyn added again.

“Oh, Okay”He replied, walking out of his secret library.

Mrs Evelyn sighed deeply and shut the door.

End Of Flashback.

King Justin stood at the rooftop of the castle, waving his hand at Mrs Evelyn and Honour as they rode away from the castle with Fiona by her right hand side.
