BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

I sat on my soft couch as I watched sage massage my legs as my legs has been aching, she was really doing a great job as told me stuffs I needed to know.

“Sage can you do me a favor?” I asked as she looked up at me gazing into my eyes.

“Yes I will if it’s something within my power my queen”

“I want to explore the kingdom, you know ever since I got married into this castle I haven’t stepped out and I really need to see my friends you know?”

I could see that my request was really a difficult one by the way she bite her lips.

“My queen what you have asked for is really beyond my powers and I sincerely wish I can help”

” Of course you can help, just get a commoners ragged dress and we will find our way out” I said hoping she accepts.

“My queen I am sorry I can’t do that, it’s dangerous and if we get caught the king will dearly punish us” she said and continued rubbing my feet.

Then maybe I have to talk to the king to let them in legally, I mean if he is my husband then why should I be scared of him.

I haven’t asked him for anything before so first time Shouldn’t hurt at all so I will go talk to him.

“Sage it’s okay, my legs doesn’t hurt anymore” I said as I stood up and made out of the room.

I got to the king’s chamber and as usual it was wide opened, I sighted him staring at the painting and tracing his fingers through it, I could tell that he was burning in anger and it isn’t the right time to say irrelevant things to him.

I turned to leave as I met prince Ray standing behind me with a soft smile curved on his lips.

“Come with me” he said pulling my hand as I followed him curious about where he was taking me to.

Soon we got to a beautiful garden, a garden filled with lots of beautiful flowers and their was a swing at the end. Why haven’t sage told me that somewhere as beautiful as this existed.

“Here” he said pointing over a table filled with cookies and wine, what a treat!.

“Who did you arrange this table for?” I asked now staring at him in a teasing way as he chuckled a little.

“I know that my brothers wife is Pregnant and pregnant women loves attention, you Know archer doesn’t have such time” he said as we sat.

If only King Archer has a little of his brothers kindness I would have much problems with him, he doesn’t even treat me like a pregnant woman and sometimes I’d wish he massage my legs and serve me.

The thought of that made me giggle, that can never happen.

“Why did you giggle to yourself?” Ray asked as I signed and took a bite of the yummy cookies.

“Is it possible that King Archer massage me and serve me?” I asked as Ray gazed at me for what seemed like minutes as if he was checking if I was okay as he suddenly brushed into laughter, obviously that impossible.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I wish he can pearl but Archer can’t do that or should I say that I ain’t really sure, maybe he can if he loves you so much” Ray said trying to make it sound better.

Love indeed, Love was far from my relationship with King Archer, I am here as his dominant I am just an unfortunate pregnant woman… He doesn’t want my baby.

“My king you really need to do something about this, I have noticed that Pearl is making her hand maid insult me, sage challenges me now” Zinnia said in a pretentious cracked voice as the king turned to.

“Leave my chamber Zinnia” He said in a cold angry voice as zinnia bowed and left feeling unfulfilled.

She had wanted the king to punish pearl dearly but here the king is sending her out.

“Guards!”

“Your highness” they hurried in and bowed.

“Tell the head maid to add sage to the kitchen maids, she won’t be Pearls hand maid again and throw Pearl into the dungeon” the king simply said and walked inside his room.

Zinnia had over heard the king’s command and in victory she danced around the room.

“Guess I’m still the king’s favourite” She said audibly to herself as she served herself wine.

Now her plans will work just according to the way she wants it no obstruction any more!, The thought of that couldn’t make Zinnia stop smiling.

“Guards!” She called out as one of the guards hurried in.

“Her highness” he bowed

“Go call agent fox for me quickly” she ordered as the guard left.

That was the only way she could see agent fox as she isn’t allowed in that hallway, but she had plans on getting herself freely to that hallway and hopefully it works.

Soon agent fox walked into her room in a slight smile as he made to kiss her which she accepted happily.

“Our plans is gonna work with ease now!, I reported Pearl to the king and guess what?” Zinnia said not really expecting a guess from the curious Fox “King Archer has made Sage a kitchen maid now leaving Pearl without a hand maid and Pearl is to be thrown into the dungeon!” Zinnia said happily.

“Wow, that’s such a sad punishment but our plans begins from here”

“So how will help to make it work perfectly?” Zinnia said as she sat up curiously.

“Never mind, I don’t need any help, it’s an easy task my love… I will set the snakes free tonight” he said and gave me that knowing wink.

“You should leave now before we are suspected” Zinnia said playfully pushed Fox out as he tried to Peck her lips.

Pearl and Prince Ray walked down the hallway together after their little treat, pearl was happy that at least she went to a place other than her room.

Just then two guards walked to them as the grabbed hold of Pearls arms roughly.

“What’s going on here, why are you holding your queen in such a manner!” Ray shouted as they all bowed, Pearl was in a confused state as she thought through what she might have done but couldn’t place her hands at any.

“Your highness, we are sorry but we have been ordered by the king to throw Queen pearl to the dungeon” they said as they pushed her further.

“But I have done nothing to offend the king!” Pearl cried as the pulled her.

Prince Ray angrily headed to his brothers room, she knew what Archer was capable of, maybe he was just transferring aggression on Pearl.

“Archer what has come over you this time?, How will you tell the guards to throw your pregnant wife to a dungeon you can’t imagine how they where rough handling a pregnant woman, what has she done to you?” Ray yelled at Archer who signed.

“Zinnia reported Pearl and her handmaid to me today, you can’t imagine that Pearl told her handmaid to challenge Zinnia… So you see they both deserve to be punished”

Yeah it was wrong to insult the head Queen as she is the oldest, but Ray didn’t believe that Pearl told her maid to insult Zinnia, that doesn’t make sense.

“Archer pearl can’t possibly do that, maybe sage insulted Zinnia out of her own will by the way you caused it by sleeping with her!” King Archer glared at his brother trying to control his anger.

“Well Pearl still deserves to be punished for not teaching her maid morals, can this topic end here?, No matter how long you stretch it I won’t get her out of there”

Ray already knew that Archer has made up his mind and indeed nothing would make him change his mind.

“If anything happens to pearl and her baby, you will see the true side of me” Ray simple said and left not wanting to say much because Archer could just tell Zinnia to punish pearl herself and that would be the worst.

Pearl sat on the cold floor of the very dark dungeon, she was shivering already from the cold air coming in and she was scared as the Dungeon was thick dark that she couldn’t even see her hands.

She wondered what could make the king decide to punish her in such a way without a reason, she was hungry and she could tell that it was already night because she had sat on the cold floor for so long.

She lay on the cold floor as she gradually dozed off in her tears.

“Has she eaten anything?” The king’s voice could be heard along with the sounds of footsteps.

“No my king, you didn’t tell us if we should starve her or not”

King Archer knowing that Pearl ate too much knew how badly hungry she would be but still he didn’t feel a bit of pity for her.

“Otis tell the maids to get her food and her regular coffee” he ordered as the guard bowed and hurried out immediately “opened the dungeon let me see her” he said coldly as the guard unlocked the numerous chains used in locking the dungeon as they opened the heavy gate of the dungeon.

“My king there are snakes in here!” Arlo shouted in shock as he knew that the dungeon was safe when they threw the queen in.

“What do you mean by that?” The king said and pushed Arlo out to see the greatest shock.

There was lots of snakes in the dungeon surrounding his innocent sleeping wife, not just snakes dangerous ones!.
