Chapter 28 In your dreams
Edward pov
I Really don't know why but I have been thinking of so many ways to make valerie fall in love with me ,I will be leaving atlantis today because I have a lot to do so I decided to have breakfast with my family today before leaving .
When I arrived at the table ,I asked everyone to wait for val to arrival since she will soon become a part of my family and my queen .
She finally arrived at the table just at the right time because I was already planing to go and look for her ,I asked her to sit close to me but I know she would reject the offer so I asked samuel to bring her to me .
I finally had her close to me, But this little brat wouldn't let me have some private time with my woman ,Randy kept pushing me but I know what he was up to , How can a little child be this wicked I thought to myself .I tried my best to stay calm but I couldn't help it anymore just when I was about to open my mouth to speak samuel came into dinning room to announce the presence of an unwanted visitor ,I asked him to let her in so as to know why she was here and today of all days .
Immediately samuel left I heard the sound of heels clicking on the ground , It was drawing closer and closer than it stopped in front of me.
' Your majesty "
She bow her head to greet me with a smile on her face .
" Alice "
" How have you been your majesty "
" Am fine, thank you "
" I have missed you so much , You know my father and I were in the neighborhood so we decided to stop over and say hi "
" Very well then "
" Your majesty you didn't offer me a sit "
" If I heard you correctly you said you and your father were in the neighborhood, And you stopped by say hi right "
" Haha yes my Lord "
" So why should I offer you a sit "
" I ..I..don't understand my Lord "
" Why would you understand , It's simple you can't sit here , Samuel will take you to the waiting chambers "
' My lord ...I wanted to discuss something important with you "
" We are saying the same thing , Wait for me at the waiting chambers then we can discuss "
" Yes your majesty "
She bow her head and walked out of the dinning room without saying a word ,I picked up my cutlery and was about to eat when my mother spoke to me .
" Edward my child you shouldn't have spoken to her like that , You see Alice is a good girl and she is well reserved on like some stupid thing seated beside you who sneaked into your bed just to become Your queen ,Can't you see this witch is trying to ruin your life ,Benita did so much for you but you throw her aside and pick up this thing Edward child please consider and accept Benita okay even if you don't want her then accept Alice "
It's funny right ,I knew she was up to No good this time ,I just kept staring at her like as if she was talking nonsense .
" Edward can you hear me "
' Mother it's been a while since you embarked on a journey, so I was thinking why don't you go on trip
" No I never told you I wanted to travel and besides all I want to see us my grand child don't you get "
" I will give you a grand child very soon but it's not going to be from any of does women you just mentioned "
" What !!, Don't tell me you still want to marry this slot "
" Mother I can't have you talk to.my wife like that , One more word from you trust me I will let the gods decided your fate "
I stood up and left the dinning room , Then walked to the waiting chambers to know her reason for coming .
" Why are you here Alice "
" Your majesty, Am glad you came "
" You haven't answered my question yet why are you here "
I stood in front of her with both of my hands in my trouser pocket
" Your majesty ,I missed you ,I also heard about what happened between you and Benita "
" So "
" I..I..missed you so much, And I was thinking if we could start courting again "
I cock my head to side trying so hard to understand what this woman standing in front of me was talking about "
" You want us ,Like me and you to start courting again"
She nodded her head in response , But the next word I said to her left her speechless .
" In your dreams "
" Your..your... majesty "
" Hmm Alice should I remind you that you accepted the duke proposal simply because you and your father thought I was am illegitimate child "
" It's not what you think, Your majesty please let me explain "
" What is there to explain "
" It was my father, He pushed me to accept the dukes proposal ,I regret everything please your majesty I promise to make up for the lost times please "
" There is nothing to make up for Alice i will be getting married in two months time to the woman I love .so when you are done please leave "
I was about to leave when she held my hand .
" I...still...love you , Please you can call of the wedding the same way you did to Benita please "
I removed her hand from mine and turned to look at her .
" I don't love you , There is only one woman I love and that will never change so move on ,I guess the duke dumped you after having his way with you right "
I walked close to her and closed the gap between us ,I remove the little hair from her face I look straight into her eyes .
" Alice what I had with you was in the past, But as of now you are dead to me "
Her knees couldn't carry her anymore, She fell on the ground staring at me with surprise .
