My Emotionless Goddess

” It’s settled Then.” The king said happily. He knew that the decision of changing the country’s monarch has always been the reason why the rebels were fighting. He also knew that his son was too laid back to deal with state affairs. He needed someone to rule the country with authority. Someone who was prompt in making decisions and wise decisions at that in times of urgency and Miranda was just the perfect person for that. He had done a lot of things just to have Miranda married to Justin.

” My king, don’t you think you need to consult with the prince before making this decision?” Miranda voiced out.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

” Oh trust me, Justin will be thrilled to hear this.” The king said with surety. He could still remember what Justin had said casually one day. ” If we were given the privilege to choose where to be born, I would never have chosen to be a royal. In this life, all I want is a life of a normal man who gets to spend enough time with his family. I want to be a good husband and a good father to my children.” Till this date, those words still keep pounding and ploughing the king’s mind.

” But my King, what will happen to my secret identity?” Miranda asked. She wanted to know where her mission would go after she was forcefully crowned as the next ruler. Thinking about it, this conversation was absurd . She was a leader yes but only to a company and a group of boys who worked for her. She was not confident in her leadership skills if extended to a country.

” You will still be the crown protector Miss Lambert but This time not like a shadow guard to the ruler but the ruler.” The king explained.

” But won’t this cause a problem among the people? This is like abolishing the monarch which has been there for generations.” Miranda asked. She could see a problem arising.

” That’s the idea Miranda. I want to abolish the monarch but the family should remain in power that’s why you the future Queen will marry the crown prince ” The King explained. He knew that he was being unfair to Miranda but at the same time he knew that she was the Best person to lead this country.

” I will think about it my King.” Miranda decided to take a step back for now and try analysing the pros and cons of this proposal. She was never interested in power but she was a loyal servant to the crown. She admired how the king kept the country peaceful for eight Years. Miranda also understood where the king was coming from. She knew very well that this kingdom needed someone to lead it and keep the people safe.

” Okay, I’ll give you one week to think about it. Remember Miranda, you don’t have the whole year to think about. The country may be stable for now, but this won’t last for long. You know that the rebels are on their toes. The queen’s patience and tolerance to me has finally worn out. I want to believe she has also reported about my poor health to the rebels and anytime from now, they will prepare to attack. I know Justin is incapable of keeping the country safe but he can be the best ally. We have to think about what will be at risk if the country goes on a war. It would be better if the people attacking us are neighbours because we could have the advantage of terrain to defend but they are unfortunately part of our citizens. If a war breaks, the people will suffer, deaths are inevitable not to mention war drags back the economy of a country.” He explained. He just hoped that she could see matters from his point of view and accept the decree. He would then issue a Royal decree after the two got married. The king was sure that appointing her as the overall ruler will halt the rebels plan to attack.

” I understand my King.” Miranda said bowing to the king and walking away. The king did not stop her from leaving. He knew she had to think about it carefully. After Miranda left the king’s study room, she felt exhausted. She just wanted to go and lay in Justin’s arms as she thinks about what they discussed with the King. Walking to Justin’s room which was in the West Wing of the palace, Miranda came across Nikolai. From the look of things, he must have been waiting for her. Miranda came across him and stood In Front of him. ” I guess you have something you want to tell me.” She said looking him straight in the eye wearing her emotionless face as usual. Nikolai smiled hearing her words. ” You are straightforward, I like it.” Nikolai said with a smirk.

” Cut to the chase and talk, I don’t have the whole day at your expense.” Miranda said, her voice oozing with impatience.

” I want to make a deal with you.” Nikolai stated and Miranda looked at him like he had grown horns.

” What deal?” She asked, her composure back to normal. She had expected anything but not a deal proposal from Nikolai. She wondered what games he was trying to play with her.
