King Roman remained silent for a minute, then he turned towards his friend with teary eyes.
“Thank you, Damian. For everything.”
"Yes, always welcome your highness."
She woke up feeling nauseous, and thirsty as well.
“Oh, great, my lady.” A female healer came rushing into the room.
“Where am I?” Celine tried to ask, but nothing came out of her mouth except some sounds.
“Your majesty, you are in the palace infirmary. Your husband has been anxious since you fainted from exhaustion yesterday. I'm sorry, but he insisted that you should rest and recover. He has been sitting outside the room since yesterday evening, hoping to see you waking up. Please don't make him wait any longer.” She said and gave her a glass of water.
Celine took a sip and slowly laid back down.
“How long have I slept?” She asked.
“Since morning. About three days ago. But you should drink more. My king made quite a mess out of your kitchen.” The female healer laughed.
Celine groaned in frustration. Of course, the Alpha King was responsible for all the damages that happened to her home. He is a selfish man who would sacrifice anyone for his gain.
Celine stayed there for another half hour or so until a knock was heard and someone walked into the room.
It was King Roman.
“Princess. Thank god you are awake. How are you feeling?” His voice is full of concern.
“Terrible. I'm hungry too.” She said.
“I'm confident that food will be brought right away. Shall I send somebody for you? Are you ready to eat now?” He asked, smiling kindly.
Celine nodded her head slowly. She had no idea how long she slept, nor what kind of time it was.
“Do you remember where you are right now?” She shook her head.
“We are at the infirmary of the palace. You fainted yesterday, I had to give you medicine to relieve you of your fatigue so that you wouldn't get sick. You've been asleep for almost three days now.”
“Three days?”
She quickly checked the time on the clock.
She must have slept for at least days?
Furthermore, she sighed and laid back against her pillows.
“Are you feeling hungry? I can order someone to bring some breakfast up for you. Or you could sleep some more. I hope that you won't need any more options.” King Roman said softly as he sat down beside her, caressing the side of her cheek.
She was so tired of being treated like a fragile piece of glass.
She hated it.
“Please keep the distance from me, I need more rest.” She said with an irritated tone of voice.
“Of course.” The king said as he stood up and headed for the door.
He didn't leave, however. He continued to stay there, watching her sleeping form. She had lost her scent, leaving no trace of it. But he would know her scent anywhere. He knew every part of her body with his nose.
After a couple of minutes, he turned around, walking towards the door.
Then, he opened the door without bothering to turn the handle, stepped outside, and left quietly.
Celine woke up and yawned loudly.
She looked around and saw that it was empty besides herself in the massive bedroom.
Her stomach growled loudly, making her cheeks blush slightly red from embarrassment.
“I hate this!” She cursed under her breath before she got out of bed and changed into the black leggings and top that she wore yesterday.
She then headed downstairs and into the dining hall.
It was silent.
There were no servants here, they must be working.
As she entered the dining hall, a delicious aroma of fresh fruit-filled her nose. Her lips curved upwards into a small smile.
“Hello, your majesty, I prepared breakfast for you. If you want some help-”
“Don't call me your majesty. My name is Celine, my name is Celine. Just call me Celine. Call me anything but your majesty.” She cut her.
“Okay. May I ask what happened last night?” The maid asked curiously.
“Not a big deal, just something I ate that made me tired and passed out.” She answered nonchalantly while placing the bowl of fruits on the table, followed by a plate full of fruits that look good enough to die for.
“Are you convinced? Because yesterday your body was covered in cuts and bruises.”
“And today's wounds have healed completely. Don't worry, I'm fine now, okay? I'm starving.” She replied as she grabbed some apple slices and started devouring them, not even bothering to wash her hands first.
“Well… alright then. It is better to leave you alone now, Celine. I guess that you don't want to talk to anyone.” Said the maid and left the room.
Celine started munching on the apples as she started thinking about what her husband told her earlier. What was that about? Did he feel responsible for what happened to her? Why would he lie to her like this? Was he ashamed of what they had done? Had he truly loved her before?
Why couldn't she accept him for who he was? He seemed to care so much for her and wanted to protect her. Could she blame him for falling in love with her?
Celine kept munching on the apples while pondering her question.
All the servants look pale, they are afraid of the heartless King Roman, he kept watch on Celine, and he feels the mood swings because can't stop thinking about her.
“Hey, are you okay?" Celine just goes out of the bathroom, and she feels shocked to see all the servants are pale and look so anxious.
“That's okay they fine, I kept wondering why they let you so long in the bathroom, even though I need to meet you as soon as possible, that's disrespectful.” King Roman looks serious and still gazes his eyes at Celine.
“That's not their mistake but me, I don't want much interacted with you.” She said.
The others gasp at her words, surprised that she had rejected the Alpha King's proposal and had rejected him, but they didn't say anything.“Why do you want to avoid me?”“I don't want to. I wish I could be happy without having to suffer a lot of pain, that's all.”“You're talking nonsense. I love you, Celine, and I won't ever let you go unless you tell me that you want me to.”“And what makes you think I want you to stay with me?” She asked angrily.“Because I love you! Why does everybody always think that they are going to get what they want by hurting other people? I love you, Celine, you are mine!” He said, grabbing both sides of her face.“Stop saying those stupid things! Stop pretending that you love me and that we are meant to be together. I already told you that I don't deserve you. Don't waste your time trying to convince me otherwise. I know I'm unworthy of you.” She said and tried to pull away from his grasp, but he held her tight.“Celine, why are you saying such cruel t
Celine blushed instantly as she looked down.“I don't understand,” Celine feels so confused.“That's okay, now come home with me!” King Roman says suddenly.“But, I don't want to go with you!” Celine said angrily.“You must because you are my wife.” “But, let me go!” “Guardians! Take her to my castle!” King Roman shouts at the guards, who quickly rushed in and started to tie her hands behind her back.She struggled against them trying to fight but to no avail.“Hey, you're making this harder than it needs to be.” King Roman said as he approached her with a mischievous grin on his face.“Let me go!”“I can't do that. I would miss you. But I guess I'll miss you more once you leave me.” He said sadly.“Why? I would rather not leave! I'm happy here. You don't know how happy I am, you don't know how much you make me smile!” Celine pleaded as tears streamed down her face.“You're lying. You don't like it here. You always look sad.” He said.“It's not that. It's that-”“It's that I make yo
Celine was breathing heavily as she watched him closely. When his lips finally touched hers, she closed her eyes and kissed him back.His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her body flush against his, and he deepened their kiss.When the kiss was over, Celine fell into his arms and laid her head on his chest, still slightly tired.King Roman stared at her lovingly. She was perfect. She was everything that he ever wanted. All he needed was for her to say yes. He required her to love him.“Come with me, princess.”She nodded her head in agreement and slowly stood up. She looked at him confused.“What? Where?”“Follow me.”With that, he walked out of the room, with Celine following closely behind.Once they reached the living room, Roman walked to the center of it, where there was an empty chair.Then he turned around to face her.“Take off your clothes, princess. Put this on.”He handed her a black robe that had the words 'King' embroidered on it. She didn't understand.“W-what is
Celine grabbed it fast, and drink it, she can't think clearly anymore, due to the medicine she was consuming, and she felt dizzy.“That will make you feel better, Celine. Drink it all. Don't worry, I will stay by your side the whole day, so don't worry.” He whispered while holding her tight to him.A few moments later, her eyes begin to droop, and soon she falls asleep, exhausted by the pain she was enduring throughout the night.“Damien, take another magical potions!” Roman whisper yelled frantically to Damien, who is already preparing himself another potion.They both worked as quickly as possible, trying to make it so that their precious mate can get rid of her pregnancy and finally be with them.Finally, after many hours, the potion was ready. They poured some into a cup and gave it to Celine. They were both relieved that everything went well. Finally, they could tell the people what has happened to their mate.When she woke up, she saw that she was lying in bed with someone else
Celine, still looking to find a way to escape from Alpha King's Roman that's making her feel so stressed."I really feels uncomfortable here, I still cannot accept the facts if I'm become the wife of the most heartless and cruelest person at the Dawn Sovereign area."Even though this happened almost in months, she still hard to accept if her father sold her to finish his debt even though she still does her best to make a living for her family, everything seemed truly complicated for her.King Roman is still looking for his wife, and he sees Celine is alone and looks so sad in his garden.“Celine, come here! I'll take you to show you the entire Town as my Queen!” He shouts happily with his smile while holding both of Celine's arms.As soon as he holds both of her arms, she tries hard not to let him notice how uncomfortable it is to be with him because she has seen what happened the last time he did this.“No… no, thank you.” She quickly says as she starts to run towards the nearest tr
She suddenly remembered about the time when she was young and when she fell off the wagon while riding the horse, she remembers that her father always helped her stand up because she was scared and her body became weak that day.But her father didn't come near to her the next day, but she thought he forgot about it until she came home, and she sees him coming from the kitchen with a cup of hot tea. When she got closer, he gives her a warm smile and kiss her forehead. She felt something weird insides of her heart, like a strange mix of happiness and sadness.At that moment, she felt a sudden urge to cry, but she didn't do that because she knows that she is not allowed to do that, especially in front of her father.She didn't understand why those moments make her feel so odd, but the way her father treated her made her want to cry more.After she fell asleep, Celine was dreaming, but this time it was different and felt so real to her.“This all was truly like dream for me, I don't know
"Hey." Amadeus looks so worried about his daughter Celine."Father..." Celine breathed out in relief."Are you alright sweetheart? How are you feeling?" "Hurts, A lot." She groaned."Do you remember what happened?" He inquired.She nodded. "Yes.""That's good. Let's get you home. Is your head bleeding?"She shook her head again. "It doesn't hurt much."He sighs in relieve and then he helps her sit up straight while supporting her neck. "Here." He handed her the glass of water from earlier and she drank it greedily.When she finished drinking the glass, her father helped her stand up carefully and supported her as they walked together towards her father carriage.When they reached her father's carriage, he helped her into the passenger seat while the servant opened the back door and helped her sit there."Take her home." Her father commanded and then he gave her a pat on her shoulder."Thank you father." She said gratefully."Take care of yourself, honey." The servants closed the ca
After all, she did run away from him before and now he was going to punish her for doing that.She tried to relax herself a little by breathing out deeply and then she started to think about everything that has happened tonight and how lucky she was to have survived. If she hadn't been able to escape from them, she wouldn't have been alive today and if she had been taken by them, she might not even be able to remember what happened to her now.She didn't know exactly how long she laid there silently thinking about everything that happened but when she heard footsteps approaching her room, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Before he could reach the side of her bed, she felt a blanket covering her body and then he pulled it up over her face. As soon as she was fully covered, she felt his lips press against her forehead and she instantly relaxed. She loved that she was always able to feel safe when he kissed her forehead. Even though she didn't know where he had
