Chapter 14
Chapter 14 THE LADY LING OF Green Hill PALACE IS HERE!" This was the loud announcement I heard in conjunction with the opening of the palace gate. Nervous and trembling but I still tried to smile at the people looking at me. Even before I reached the very hall where Argus was, the queen and the high officials of the palace had already dropped me off by the palace guards who had lifted my carriage. Pim immediately helped me down until I walked towards the main hall. With palms clasped I bowed to argus, to the former queen and king, as well as to queen Kirah who just stared at me. But more than him was Argus. Argus is staring at me like there's no tomorrow, I know that he wanted to tell me something but he has to remain silent and just do the proceedings for my installation. After he blessed me he handed me the jade-tag that would be the symbol of the state and who I am inside the palace. Loud applause followed from the people and from a few palace officials because I knew the others didn't like me because I only smiled sparingly and applauded for me. Even in bowing in respect to me they just seem to be compelled. I also looked at the dear queen. He only nodded slightly before smiling at me sparingly. After that I went to face the people. This was followed by another loud announcement from the spokesman of the dear king. "IN THE NAME OF DEAR KING GI RA KHUN, LADY LING FROM Green Hill PALACE HAS BEEN APPOINTED TODAY AS A STATE AND TITLE EMPERIAL NOBLE CONSORT. HE IS NOW THE DEAR EMPERIAL NOBLE CONSORT LING OF Green Hill PALACE! GIVE RESPECT!" The voice of this announcement was loud and full that even gave me shivers and chills. This was followed by loud applause and the standing up of people to give me a bow as respect and recognition for me. I know I'm not used to being looked up to but I have to hold my head up, stay stern, elegant, and I shouldn't lose my composure. So I just gave them a small smile. "Imperial Noble Consort Ling, you can now aim for your position." The king's spokesman smiled at me before he gestured his hand to reveal where my seat was. My seat is just below the king and the queen's seats. I'm on the left side of the King while the queen was on his right. My platform is just below them. While going up the stairs, everyone was just looking at me, especially the King while the Queen was staring at him, so I avoided looking at him so that the queen would not say anything. As soon as I sat down, it was announced that the dowries offered to me by Argus would be laid out in front of me, so I was surprised. I'm aware of the dowry that a king must give to his wife but I thought the ones he brought to green hill last night. Not yet. As Pim stood just behind me, he ordered the palace guards of the green hill palace to pick up the countless gifts to take to the palace. I even looked at Argus over my shoulder and he just stared at me while smiling but I also immediately regained my gaze and turned away from them because the queen's observant eyes were staring at me. Later it was announced that the start of food and fun so somehow we turned our attention there. It was late at night when Pim and I got home to the green hill palace but even though my body was tired and wanted to rest and open to take care of things that needed to be taken care of such as the opening of offerings from Argus I was not able to rest. I was just walking around my room while busy thinking. Hey Sabina, it looks like your hasn't happiness even started here in the palace, you have an enemy. Hey, I hope he's the one Argus is going to now and I'm not. I wish I could-- "I couldn't continue talking to myself when I was surprised and turned around because someone hugged me from behind. Argus …" I exclaimed in shock with a worried voice. I just tilt my head slightly to look at him but then he rested his head on my shoulder. "How's my imperial consort, hmm?" He whispered before he intimately kissed my shoulder. "Uhmm, I'm okay. I'm happy for what happened today. And at least now I feel like I belong here and no longer look like a wild flower in a rose garden. " I respond slowly. Good! I'm happy that you are happy. "He said calmly before he kissed me again but on my temple before he tightened his grip on my waist. From now on, you can do whatever you want inside this palace as long as you don't break any palace rule because that would be hard for me to handle because me and I will impose punishment on you according to the consequences of your action you please, be careful. I have gifted you books about the things you must learn about the palace so you should read them. That would keep you away from trouble because I don't want to harm you or do anything to ruin you. I don't want you to be living in here like hell, I just want you to live happily while living with me here. " He made a serious and firm promise so I just nodded and smiled at him. "Anyways, as I was saying you can now roam around the palace if you want, go see the queen too. She mentioned that you bumped into her in the garden last time. " He added so I was a little shocked. Ah n-did you talk about that?" I curiously asked. He shrugged first. The queen has been with me the whole day, she told me so many stories. See, it's your installation day but I couldn't go to you a while ago because aside from her, the officials keep on bugging me about something which is bothering me. " He said in a quite frustrated voice so I was very upset with him.I disclosed his arm from my waist before I could face him. "You seem bothered hmm, may I know why is that?" I promise calmly.He just let out a deep sigh before he sat down still looking bothered. I asked Pim for a tea first who immediately complied before I sat down on the other chair and laid my hand on the table between us. I just look at him while waiting for him to talk. S-so, may I know what is bothering you Your Majesty?" I promise again. "I'm I'm sorry but I can't tell you or even the queen about the state and political affairs of the palace. "He looked at the promise. "Hmm, o-of course. I-I know that. " I just calmly promised when he looked at me. "That's it? You have nothing else to say? " Hmm? What else can I say? " I also raised my eyebrows before drinking tea when he snatched it from me. Hmm, look this woman right here, can't you try a little bit more to make me feel that if I'm bothered you are bothered too." He said dramatically pretending to be sullen. Hmm, you said I can't know about political affairs, that's what I do." I keep my promise. Don't you have a guilty conscience? Won't you convince me to tell you what my problem was for you to be able to console me? " He said still whining like a little boy so I kept laughing a little.You know what, you can't do that!" I made a sarcastic promise in the market tone so he laughed too but he turned back into a serious face after that that's why I took him seriously. He stared at me before speaking. "T-There is this problem that's bothering me. My father have left me so much political affairs that I've had to deal with and I'm quite bothered by this specific problem. " I just quietly listened to him. My Consort, if you were in my position, would you choose to do this one thing that you know will be a great help in maintaining peace in this empire even if it means you will break your promise to someone you wouldn't want to hurt? " My King, that is indeed bothersome because not keeping your promise to someone will surely gonna be hurtful but my King, you are not just an ordinary man who can just choose whatever you want. You are the King of this vast empire who is responsible of your people. In short, there will be no choices for you in the first place because performing your duty as the King is the only option you have above everything else, even your personal interests. Besides, I'm sure that if that person you've promised to is indeed worth the care you give him, he will understand and comprehend you. " My promise is long and calm. He just nodded before he held my hands that were sitting on the table between us and he stood up. He pulled me to my feet so I just followed. Thank you, Consort Ling. You really have everything as a woman that a king must have. he said praising me so I just smiled mischievously. Oh, you don't have to scold me anymore. You just miss me because you're too tired last night so you fell asleep. " I made a foolish promise before giving him a stubborn smile. See, not only do you have attractive beauty, you also have a logical brain which is attractive." He also naughty promises. Of course, that's the only Consort Ling!" my bragging promises cause us to laugh. Hmm, come here… let's talk in bed…" He said Flirty before he suddenly poke me on my waist before lifting me so I shouted a little while still laghing. He gently laid me down on the bed before he dove onto me but he's wearing his king's suit and all so he slipped off the bed again and stood up to remove them. I also got up and stood in front of him to help him in removing his intricate King attire. While I'm focusing on unbuttoning his suit he's just staring at me. When I finally removed the first layer of his clothing, he kissed me while my hands were still busy removing his other costume. Of course his hands will not give up. They are on my legs caressing both of them up and down with his soft palms. Since I'm with my white night gown and it's just thin and also, I'm about to sleep that's why I didn't use b*a. After I took off all his top clothes, he would have taken off my night gown but it has to be unzipped at the back so I turned to him first for him to unzip me. Before unzipping me he first presented all my hair on one side. After he unzipped me, he started pulling down both sides of my sleeves slowly revealing my shoulders, my back, and then the whole me. As my gown fell on the floor he embraced me from the back at the same time kissing me on my nape. After that I felt his wet and soft lips caressing both of my shoulder and slightly brushing them with his tongue. He even traveled kissing my entire back while his hands were enjoying in front of me as if they're baking a cake. Beautiful hands just let go of my chest when he dropped a kiss on my b*tt*cks. He pulled and rolled my underwear down to the floor first before he l*cked and brushed them with his naughty tongue while his hands are now massaging and tracing my curves. Every single thing he's doing to me just gives me a tingling sensation and I'm getting aroused that I just wanted to throw myself into him so I forced myself to turn in front of him. I need to savor his enticing kiss now. Right after I turned back to him, he catched my lips with his and shared an intimate and intensive kiss as our tongues played push and pull together. While still making out, he carried me on his waist that's why I put my arms around his neck as I kissed him back. He walked towards the table where our cup of teas were and there I was seated and then he positioned himself for the aim: just like that, we are one again. I gasped to breathe the air because he surprised me. "U*h…" I moaned as he began to move back and forth. I hugged him even tighter causing my nails to sink into his back when he went wild and fast. "U*h Fvck!" He Gronaed outstretching his neck. He moved even faster while holding me tightly on my hips. I can feel him getting bigger inside me so I moved the handle to the edges of the table ugly!" I just murmured outstretching my neck as I arched my body. I even wrapped my legs around his hips to least console myself from the pain of desire I am feeling. My br ** sts, my body and the table started to canter and jog mirroring his movements. "Ahhhh…" I even moaned again so he kissed me again to suppress me from making noise. Later, the tea cups fell on the floor due to the movement of the table I was sitting at, so we immediately heard a knock on the door followed by Pim's voice. Noble Consort Ling, Your Majesty, are you all right?" he asked but also followed by the voice of Argus' assistant. "Attendant Pim, what do you think you are doing? Don't disturb them. " This is why Argus let out a smile against my lips. I haven't reciprocated that smile cuz I'm too stuffed and just savoring his lips. He then carried me to bed and continued there until we both fell asleep in each other's arms. To Be Continued…
