“Let’s help each other in the future,” Nneka said and withheld her fingers from touching Evans’s lip, Evans opened his eyes, he felt embarrassed and looked down instantly without sparing the queen a gaze.
“Did you hear what I said?” Nneka added when he didn’t reply to her.
Instead of Evans replying, he busted into laughter clapping his two hands together.
“Did I say something wrong?” Nneka asked him, even though she knew she played him childishly, Nneka could have been a pervert, had it been she was a man.
“Noooo, no… Your Highness” Evans reiterated two times, flickering his hands likewise.
“Let’s start helping each other from today onward”, The queen said smiling.
“Okay your Highness” Evans replied, and he find his way out of the room, feeling uncomfortable when the queen have nothing to say to him again.
As soon as Evans’s foot left Nneka’s chamber, she flared up, breaking different vases used to decorate her room, the breaking sound of the vases made her maid shiver where she stood outside her room, using her mind to pray silently for the queen to stop the nonsense, knowing how the palace was, if Xena gets to hear about it, she won’t stop until she used it to implicate her.
Queen Nneka refused to stop her madness, as she was breaking vases, likewise she was cursing the king loudly, not minding anyone that would hear.
“How dare you stood me up for a concubine on our first night together, you are a dead meat, you and your concubine, I will make life miserable for you. Just wait for m, I know my right and I will use it against your concubine”, Nneka cursed under her breath.
“My Highness, I’m sorry”, Daphne entered and knelt for her, begging her when she couldn’t take the madness anymore.
“You are not at fault,” Nneka said, as she continued breaking things.
Evans left his hiding after hearing how queen Nneka broke things, he sighed deeply realizing queen Nneka is more pathetic than another concubine. She hides her pain in his presence instead of letting out her hurt.
Evans thought that breaking an ancient vase is not a quality, a good mother should possess, that kind of woman won’t hesitate to destroy her husband’s life, if he offend her badly one day.
He branched into the maid quarters and whispered Aurora’s name, the maids were sleeping already. Aurora looked around after she heard the whispers of her name, she raised her head where she laid in a corner, and her eyes fell on Evans who was standing at the entrance door.
She sprang to her feet and tiptoed, not to wake other maid up, on her way out, shashina heard the sound of her tipping, she raised her head and saw Aurora going out, she trailed after her as she left the maid’s room, she became curious of why she tiptoed towards Evans, she trailed behind them as they walked out of the maids quarters.
She hide immediately she saw them halted to discuss, trying to eavesdrop their conversation.
“The king wants you in his chamber, but he must not know you are the one, You can use a face mask to enter his chamber, he had approved it,” Evans said.
Aurora looked lost, she didn’t understand Evans clearly
“Did you hear what I said?” Evans brought her out of reverie.
“How did you manage to convince the king , for me to use a face mask?” Aurora asked, she didn’t imagine that the whole Alpha Malik will allow a maid to use a face mask in his presence.
“I manage to convince him, also I think he longed for your company” he answered and walked away from her, Evans hasn’t let go of his feeling towards Aurora, looking closely at her face sometimes, made him uncomfortable.
He wished, there is a way he can make the king forgive her, and give Aurora to him instead, Aurora trailed after him as they strode towards the king’s chamber, Aurora felt happy that the king desire her, though he didn’t know she was the one, still, she felt elated and at the same time she hates the fact that her sister got married to him, and is making her felt guilty that she is in love with her sister husband.
But what can she do? she has loved him before her sister married him. She use the face mask Evans gave to her on her face, and she entered to the king’s room.
There was this sudden nervousness that surged out of her inwardness, her leg felt too big to carry, stood in a position thinking of what to do as she entered the room, and she saw Alpha Malik changing clothes.
Looking at Alpha Malik gave Aurora a kind of sensation she didn’t understand, her whole body was on fire. Because of how uncomfortable she was, she looked down throughout the period Alpha Malik was changing his clothes, Aurora was fighting with the demon of lust waging war against her mind.
After Alpha Malik was done, she called Aurora, but she couldn’t hear him until she tapped her body, his touch sent a signal to Aurora’s body, and she felt like hugging Alpha Malik, you can’t blame her, Alpha Malik is a demigod whom his naked body will arouse any lady.
“Are you okay?” Alpha Malik said to her.
“Yes! Your highness” Aurora replies after she manages to catch her breath. She thanked God, Alpha Malik couldn’t see her face, she would have been more embarrassed, and killed today.
“I want to catch fresh air outside, also the moon will come out tonight, and I want to see it, “Alpha Malik said to Aurora.
” Okay your Highness” Aurora said slowly, trying to fake her voice since she was good at disguising using different voices, she’s good at it.
“Hope you don’t mind,” Alpha Malik said to her.
“Yes, your Highness” Aurora replied curtly.
They walked out of the main building to the Veranda, thought-out the period, none speak to each other, Aurora kept stolen gazes at Alpha Malik.
“I heard that you are scared of looking at my face, am I that terrifying?”, Alpha Malik said, though he knew his face scared a lot people away.
“Noooo your Highness” Aurora stammered.
“I guess you lied, with the way your voice shivered, I can’t blame you. I made you lie” Alpha Malik said, and he directed her to a big tree that has fell on the ground, he tapped beside him after he settled on it, for Aurora to settle on top too.
Gently Aurora slumped beside the king, mistakenly her big bumbum landed on the lap of Alpha Malik, when he was trying shifting for her to sit down properly.
