The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I wasn't really too repulsed by Killian's actions. Earth was already at her end. I have seen many bad behaviors appear in humanity because of the lack of resources.

I have seen murders and other similar things. The things that could surprise me totally are few. I can't vouch that I would be able to do what Killian did. Still, I would not beat him down. It was the bare minimum. The motives behind his actions were understandable.

"Okay, what happened next?" I prompted eagerly.

"The other events that happened aren't really memorable. I got all the officials under control. I cleared all the people that didn't want to come under my rule. I brought my empire forward, step by step." Killian said wistfully.

I stared at Killian for a brief moment. He was strong and he was focused on his goals. His attitude and views gave me some kind of security. It wasn't a feeling I can explain casually. I know he can be counted on.

"I don't know if anybody have said something like this before." I started, "Killian, I just want to tell you that you are awesome. I want to assure you that you have triumphed over your past. You will continue to excel, trust me on that." A light dusting of red colored Killian's ears. It was a rare thing to see so I moved closer.

When I arrived at a suitable range, my finger flicked his ear.

His big palm wrapped around my naughty hand.

"Edna, stop playing with fire." He warned.

I put my other hand up in a gesture of surrender.

"I'm not doing anything." I grinned.

Suddenly, a beeping sound interrupted our moment. I straightened my posture.

Killian glanced at his wrist. A band was on his right hand. The material of the band made it look translucent. It felt like a belt of water was glued to Killian's wrist.

"Edna, I have to settle something first. Someone will take you to our bedroom. I will be done with this task soon." Killian said.

I nodded.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Killian's fingers flew across the surface of the wristband as he typed quickly. He might be sending a message.

A few minutes passed by and someone walked into the court hall.

I raised my head to look. It was a beautiful lady.

Her black hair was silky smooth and her gait was heroic.

A sword hung by her side. Light metal armor was on her body.

She got to Killian's throne and bowed slightly.

Killian nodded in acknowledgment, "Marissa, take Edna to the Royal bedchamber. Protect her. A strand of her hair must not move in the wrong way or else you will bear the consequences. Is my words clear?" "Yes, my King." Marisa replied.

"Edna, go with her. You are in safe hands." Killian said.

I hummed in agreement.

Marissa didn't waste any extra time.

She turned around to leave after she was sure Killian had no further requests.

I matched her footsteps.

Marissa weaved through the hallways with familiarity. We didn't speak to each other. I didn't even know what to say to her. She was a stranger to me like everyone else.

Footfalls approached us. The sound of the stranger's footsteps was almost inaudible. As we turned the corner, piercing green eyes settled on me. I locked gaze with the person approaching us. It was Jelena.

Was she stalking me?

I have a feeling that she had been lurking around.

She was still in the same getup I saw her in a few minutes ago.

Her legs closed the distance between us. I wanted to act like I didn't know her. We didn't have anything in common after all.

We weren't friends. There was nothing to talk about. I thought she planned to ignore me too. I was wrong.

"Marissa, I have something to talk to the Future Queen about." Jelena said.

Marissa didn't budge, "The king said I should get her to the Royal bedroom in one piece. I don't want any issues. You can speak to her later."

Jelena's mirthless laugh rang out, "What do you take me for, Marissa? How will I do something to the Future Queen? Are you overestimating me or are you underestimating the protection present in this Palace? I just have some things to talk to the future Queen about. Our discussion won't take too long. I know you can spare a few minutes. Besides, I didn't tell you to leave her in my hands and exit. You will be a few distance from us. You can see everything we do." Marissa didn't say anything for a while. After sometime, she nodded briskly.

She took a few away from us. She gave Jelena and I ample space.

I folded my arms as I locked eyes with Jelena, "What do you want to say to me?"

I made sure she could see how her presence was making me impatient.

From what I could see, Jelena was very very interested in being Killian's bride.

Since I decided to give Killian a chance, it was highly likely that Jekena and I wouldn't be on the same page. It's not like I hated her. It was uncomfortable to see someone that is aiming to steal my man away from me.l shamelessly. If she gave up promptly, I would squash the uncomfortable feeling I was fostering about her.

Alas, things were not like that. I could see the ambition burning in Jelena's pupils. She was not ready to give her pursuit of Killian's love up. That wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

She shared the same ambition her father had. Their eyes were on the throne, they wouldn't give up.

Birds fight for food and human die for what they believe in.

I planned to keep my distance away from the two of them. I don't want to get hurt by mistake and I don't want to be caught in an intentional accident.

"Future Queen," Jelena started.

Her words were mocking the 'queen' in her sentence. On her lips, 'queen' wasn't a symbol of respect or authority.

Her implicit insults didn't get to me.

She continued, "If you know what is good for you, you would leave the capital. Don't be a toad thirsting for swan meat. You and the King are not on the same level. Your background is unpresentable and you are not of the same race. Why do you think you have the necessary requirements to be his Queen?"

I scoffed, "Oh. I don't have all the requirements, I agree with those words. So, who has all the requirements to be queen? You? Don't make me laugh."
