A Night With The King

Everyone in the room listened to her. Lance saw the look of admiration and respect that the elders had regarded her with after she finished talking to them and his heart had swelled with love and pride. Not only was his queen bold and beautiful. She was also brilliant and well-spoken. Lance was sure now that she had successfully won the elders over and that they wholeheartedly supported her being queen.

“I knew you would get along. She is a great woman. She isn’t much of a proper princess but she definitely knows a lot about royalty, when she asked me, I didn’t think twice before saying yes. I already know you both will do great things together. I know you already have plans for the women of Otano,”

He said. he liked how the majority of what she had said to the elders was about giving the women more representation. Lance has done his best since he became king to let the women of Otano shine just as much as their male counterparts but there is only so much a man can do. With Sophie and also Roseline helping, he believes with all his heart that they will get more representation. He might not have married Roseline, but she definitely became one of his people and when Patrick and her marry, she would become one of them officially. He hoped it would happen. Not just because he wanted Roseline to be one of his people but also because he wanted his friend to be happy just like he was happy. They have been through everything together and now it was time for them to be happy together.

“I do and she does too. You will let me, right?”

She asked. He paused and made sure she was looking at him.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course, your majesty. Ma’am, I trust and believe in you,”

“Thank you,”

She whispered and they started walking again.

“You did so well today. With the elders and also with your new friend, Roseline. I am so proud of you.”

“I am proud of myself too, I did well today and deserve a reward. Will I get rewarded?”

She asked him flirtatiously, and he smiled.

“Of course, you will get a reward.”

Lance responded. They both laughed and entered their room. They first showered together. Before they lay in bed together.

“When do I get my reward?”

Sophie asked.

“Anytime, what kind of reward do you want? I don’t want to impose but I have a good idea,”

Lance told her while giving her a knowing look.

“I will get what you have in mind anyway so don’t you dare think that that’s what I will ask for,”

She reprimanded him.

“Killjoy. Fine, whatever you want,”

Lance said. She looked like she was deep in thought before she finally told him what she wanted.

“Roseline suggested I do a maternal shoot and I would really love to do it,”

That was something Lance already had in mind ever since he saw illegally taken photos of hers compiled into a magazine, the only reason he didn’t bring it up was because of what had happened a couple of days after that day. Too many things happened that he had forgotten but now that she mentioned it again. He liked the idea.

“That’s something we can arrange. Ask for something else.

“A baby shower,”

She requested.

“Soph. Baby, that’s also something that will be done. You are the queen. All you have to do is ask and those things will be done. Those aren’t rewards, they are things you will get anyway. Everyone in the palace is your subject now. Including me,”

Lance informed her. personally, he would do anything she asked of him even if it meant bringing her the sun and the moon. He would find a way to get them for her.

“But I am not the queen yet, I won’t be the queen until our marriage is finalized and registered.”

She reminded him.

“I know, which is why I want us to get married soon.”

Lance responded.

“Me too, if you want us to be married tomorrow, I will gladly follow you,”

She told him which made him happier than anything.

“As much as I would like that, Soph, we can’t just get married tomorrow, our wedding will be a huge national affair. I am sorry I can’t give you a private wedding. I owe it to the people of Otano,”

Lance explained to her.

“I don’t have a problem with that, I would take any kind of wedding just to be called your wife, what matters to me is that I get to call you my husband,”

Sophie replied. He smiled.

“We will be married in less than two months, at most a month and a week from now,”

Lance added and she nodded.

“I assume that’s the soonest we can be married right?”

She asked him and he nodded.

“Yes, that way we will have our wedding before our little one is born,”

“That’s a good idea. I will be a newly-wed when I have our baby, I think it will be fun,”

“I think so too. Don’t worry, I will take a break and focus on you and our baby, I won’t miss anything,”

Lance promised.

“I know you won’t just like I know you will be a great husband and daddy. I hit the jackpot with you, I don’t know what I did to deserve you but whatever it is, I am glad I did it and now I have you in my life.”

She said and cradled his face in her hands. Her hands barely cover any part of his face but he loves it when she cradles him like that.

“I love you, my heart. I can’t wait to make you mine forever, you are stuck with me.”

She said, leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

“I love you too, my darling Soph. you are mine forever.”

He said and kissed her back.

“So, about my reward,”

She announced. Reminding him that she hasn’t gotten what she wanted.

“Yes, baby, I am listening,”

“Hmm, since everything I asked for are things I will get anyway, I have decided to save and ask you for something later. You don’t mind that, right?”

She asked and he shook his head.

“Yes, I don’t mind. Tell me whenever and I will make sure to do it,”

“I trust you,”

She said and yawned. She must be so tired from all the stress she went through today.

“I think it is time for my beautiful wife to get some much-needed sleep,”

He suggested.

“Yes, you are right. This wife of yours needs sleep but she also wants you to kiss her,”

Finally, she was no longer correcting him and was even agreeing to be his wife.

“A kiss you will get.”

He answered right before he claimed her lips in a slow passionate kiss.
