Chapter 5 Obsession
Edward pov :
I Woke up the next morning feeling so fresh and New again after staying away from my castle for a whole month .
I Freshened up and was about to take a glass of wine when Samuel walked in .
" Good morning my king "
I turned to look at him .
" Samuel it since that you have been too familiar with My chamber that you forgot to knock before coming in "
" Am sorry your majesty but I think it's important you appear at the court room
"You know I don't respond well with commands "
" Sorry my Lord it's not a command it's just that the council request your presence in the court room "
" Why do they want to see me? Are they plotting to dethrone me again "
" I Don't know much about that your majesty "
" Tell them I will be with them shortly "
" As you wish My Lord "
He walked out of my chamber, I stood there staring at his disappearing figure ,I quickly grabbed my coat and walked out of My chamber I decided to take the hallway today ,just then I noticed a slim figure staring at one of my favorite vase ,At first she was shocked by my presence by I noticed from our little conversation she didn't address me as My king , Your majesty or whatever .
I was a bit surprised but decided to play along .
" Stop staring at me "
" Oh No Am sorry for staring at you please excuse me I would like to take My leave "
" She turned to leave but I held her hand "
" Where are you running off too "
" Am sorry Mr but I have to attend to My chores "
" Interesting ,You work here "
" No actually my mother do work here Am just here with my sister to help her out "
" Good so for how long would you be staying here "
" Actually we are here to serve at the king's wedding announcement "
" Really ,so tell me have you seen the king before "
" Nope I haven't and Am not interested in seeing him "
" Oops that hurts ,She's really not interested in seeing me ,how possible is that, ladies will kill themself just spend a night with me so what is she talking about ,I kept wondering Myself .
" So tell me why don't you want to see him "
" Nothing much it's just that am not a fan of the king and I will never be "
" Don't you think that's harsh "
" I Don't think so ,can I let you in on a little secret "
" Go ahead "
" Please promise you wouldn't tell the king "
" Why would I ,But before you say anything promise to be my friend "
" Well listen Mr .."
" Ben you can call me Benjamin but my friends call me Ben "
" Okay I really don't know you so I don't think it will be okay for us to be friends And besides I think I have been talking way too much for my liking , Please can I go now I really don't want Lady Theresa to find me here discussing with a stranger it wouldn't be good "
" Oh come on don't worry about her she wouldn't say or do anything to you "
" Why did you say so "
" It's because you are safe with me "
" Tell me sir Benjamin do you work here "
" Nope I came to see my friend "
" Your friend that's weird ,a commoners walking freely in the castle ,I guess you must be an important people "
" No let's just say am a friend to the king right hand man "
" Oh I see "
I was still talking to her when Samuel walked up to us .
" My Lor....."
I Quickly signalled him to shut his mouth or his head will be separated from his neck if he dares say anything stupid ,he was confused at first so I quickly played along .
"Samuel thank God you are here I almost lost my way "
I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder then whispered into his ear .
" Play along or your are dead "
He Quickly let out a smile ,
" Yes actually I was coming to look for you ,You see the king has a meeting in the court room so we can go check out those thing now that am free "
" Yes sure "
I turned to look at the beautiful , innocent girl standing in front of me one last time before walking out of the hallway with Samuel .
" Your majesty what was that for "
" am under no obligation to answer to you "
" No offense my king but .."
" Don't ever ask me stupid questions again , Secondly you did a great job by helping me out there "
I was about to open the door when I remembered something .
" Samuel "
" Yes your majesty "
" I want to know everything about that girl you saw me talking with is that clear "
" Yes your majesty "
I opened the door and walked into the court room immediately I entered the noise in the court room died down ,
" Long live the king "
" Long live the king !!!"
I walked up to my throne and sat down , waiting for them to state the reason for this urgent meeting.
" Your majesty congratulations on your engagement "
Immediately I heard those words my head almost lite up in flames .
" What the heck "
I turned to the order side of the room and I saw my mother and Benita sitting down together smiling boldly, I murmured within my breathe .
" Bitches "
" Congratulations your majesty once again you have made us proud "
" Thank you ,but I think you all should have waited for me to make the announcement my self "
Immediately I said those words the room became silent just then my mother decided to speak .
" Your majesty if you will permit me to speak "
" I don't think women are allowed to speak in the council of elders so am sorry mother you can't say a word.
I turned the men sitting in the court room .
" If this is the reason for this meeting then I would like to take my leave because I have important matters to attend too '
I stood up and walked out of the court room but in my heart I was so mad that I felt like killing those two bitches Myself , Immediately my mind went back to the lady I met at the hallway so I passed through that same direction thinking I will see her again.
