A Night With The King

The change of environment was so sudden that Sophie didn’t know what to make of it, it makes no sense that the king would want her to be moved out of prison and then he made sure to turn the dungeon into a mini hotel room just for her and now, he moved her to the emerald house. Sophie stood in awe as the guard opened the door to the entrance.

“What am I doing here? Why did you bring me here? Is the king here? Is he drunk?”

She couldn’t help asking. The guard has been nice to her so she expected him to answer all of her questions and yes, he did.

“I don’t know a lot of details, the king is not here right now and he was the one that gave the instructions that you be moved here, I am sure you will find out soon, good luck,”

The guard said and turned to leave.

“Wait! Are you leaving me here alone?”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She questioned. Yes, once he leaves, she would be alone because the place was separated from the main palace but connected to the king’s chamber by a single door and only a few people have access to it; the guards that look after the place are only at the gate and not inside. The first time Sophie had found out the place was connected to the king’s chamber. She had wondered what they had been thinking of making a separate house linked to his room until she had found out what the place had been used for. The place was reserved for the king’s mistresses and she didn’t like the thought that formed in her head when she realized she was meant to stay there. No way was the king about to make her his mistress.

“I can’t go inside, I am not allowed to when the king is not here, you can go in, the place has been taken care of and according to the king, you can pick any room and also the things you would need have been provided, if you want anything else, you can write it down and when the maid assigned to bring you food comes you can give it to them and they will pass it to the king, only when he approves can we grant it, have a nice day,”

The guard said, turned around, and left her standing there with her mouth agas, they were out of their mind, both the king and his people. Why else would he bring her here if he wasn’t out of his mind? The fact that he knew she was pregnant and he still wants to make her his mistress, he was really out of his mind if he thought she would be his mistress.

“I can’t believe what is going on right now,”

Sophie let out as she walked into the emerald house. The house wasn’t big compared to the rest of the palace, but it was still big regardless. It had a big living room which was the first place that is seen when the door opens, and then there are three rooms. When Sophie found out what the place was for, she asked one of the co-workers why it had multiple rooms and they told her that the king sometimes keeps multiple mistresses but since Lancelot took over, he has not had any mistresses, not like he needed one when he changes women so much and he never brings them to the palace. She only knew about his adventures with women because he had bragged about it to her when he had been drunk. That was before she slept with him. Maybe if he had remembered them being together, he would have bragged about it too. Sophie walked to one of the three closed doors and opened it, the room was nice and clean but it was directly close to the door that connects the king’s chamber so it was an automatic no for her, she picked the one further away from the king’s room and walked in. it was nice and clean too and the bed looked so big, must be because of what it was used for. She could imagine the kind of things the kings who ruled and took mistresses did in this room. She told herself not to think about it too much for her sake.

The mental image of the kings before Lancelot going down and dirty in the room before other women was not what disturbed her, it was the image of the current king walking into the room she was in and commanding her to strip and please him. She would never be able to say no to the king. Not to mention she still desires him after the night of pleasure he gave her that put her in her current situation. Sophie shook off every thought of the king and instead took a shower, by the time she was done, someone brought her lunch. She thanked them and ate before taking a nap that didn’t last long. When she woke up from her short nap, she decided to explore the other parts of the emerald house. Aside from the rooms, there was a living room and a dining room connected to it that didn’t look like it had ever been used. There was also a mini fridge in the dining room. She opened it out of curiosity and saw that it was stocked with sparkling water, milk, and soft drinks. There were three restrooms in each of the rooms. Each of the rooms had wardrobes and each of the wardrobes had clothes in them, female clothes. The whole idea behind it was that the king’s mistress was not to lack anything for as long as they were useful to the king.

“I am never going to be his mistress,”

Sophie let out as she walked out of the last room and went to sit in the living room. She would do anything else but to be the king’s plaything is where she draws the line. It would only end up badly for her. Not only would she be forever known as the king’s mistress, but he might also send her out of the kingdom once he no longer desires her.

Sophie expected the king to show up but he didn’t not and she spent the whole of the evening by herself, at least she could watch tv and also unlike the dungeon, she could actually step out of the house only that she couldn’t get out of the gate and she didn’t even want to. If only this was all there was and she didn’t have to face any more troubles, it would have been perfect but she knew everything was just temporary and that her problems were far from being over. In fact, they barely even started. The last time the king spoke about the diamonds, he didn’t believe what she had told him, and the other question he asked about the identity of the father of her baby, she knew he would not give up until he finds out. She was sure he thought he had a hand in helping her take the diamonds and finding him would lead him to the diamonds. If only he knew the person that he wanted to know about so much was himself. He would never believe her and she was still too early in her pregnancy for a DNA test to be done so she was going to do her best to not tell for as long as she could hold.

“I wish he would never ask,”

She let out as she turned off the tv and walked to the room she had picked, the one further away from the entrance that linked the house to the king’s chamber. She knew that would not help her case but at least she tried. Whatever he has planned she would have to wait for him to come around to find out, for now, she would live as if her life was okay.
