I became the king's obsession 52: It doesn't matter anymore.
"Huh?" The queen asked in doubt of Viishaun's statement.The king crossed his arms and raised one of his eyebrows, "What's with that reaction?""Could you repeat it? Had my ears played a trick on me? Do you really think she would accept me as her daughter-in-law?""I may have no idea what my mother is truly like, but I believe she's a person who does not judge a person. Butler Arthur and my lad-in-waiting, his wife who used to work with my mother before always talk about what kind of person she is. Judging from the qualities they said the royal consort possessed, she prefers a simple, innocent, and domesticated woman like you.""What? Am I an animal? Tsk! You're so annoying."The king smirked and hid his sly smile while looking at the grumpy look on his wife. "Anyway, what brings you here, grumpy cat?""I decided to roam around since a certain someone locked me in the palace," she replied, still giving a grumpy expression. "How about you? What brings you here?" she added.The king loo
I became the king's obsession 53: The poisonous flower among the garden.
Dressed in a flame red, the queen went to a jewelry boutique. Then, all of a sudden, Aileen heard a familiar mocking tone from a lady whom the queen had an idea who it might be. "Greetings, Queen of Western Allandis." Princess Vermillion bowed her head, leaving a gaze of a slick fox. "It's nice seeing you, lady Vermillion," the queen replied with a dignified look. 'This woman's smug look is irritating, and I think she's up for trouble,' says a voice inside the queen's head as she returned the favor of smiling. "Fancy meeting the honorable queen in this boutique I often visit. Does the queen like this spot too?" Princess Elvira asked. The queen giggled and replied, "I don't know yet since this is my second time." "If you don't mind, I wish you go out more often like you did today, your majesty. I am simply concerned about your social life. The people will misunderstand your presence," Princess Elvira replied. "What sort of misunderstanding, perhaps?" "Are you sure you want to
I became the king's obsession 54: What about the heir?
Although, Aileen managed to hide from the public when she attended twice of her husband's birthday celebrations held in the private palace of the empire with only the royal family, a few aristocrats, and a noble family as guests. Also, during those times, she was in 'illness' mode. Thus the guest did not look for her. She doubted it would be possible this time. It would be impossible to avoid such important events because few aristocrats had known she was not ill anymore. Besides, the party this time will be held in the imperial palace as the emperor's wish.Unlike other noble ladies, the queen need not go to extensive training for her psychic and etiquette since her ladyship had a dignified posture, which she earned from her modeling car back in her original world. The problem arises with her vulgar mouth and way of wearing clothes because she kept going against the standard of 'respectable clothes' for a lady. "Madam, are you truly going to wear this gown?" says Athena while holdin
I became the king's obsession 55: Was it an empty promise?
Viishaun held Aileen's hand, and they left the banquet. On their way to the palace's garden of pink tulips, near the palace's main gate, someone behind them was yelling."Your excellency, are you leaving already? Won't you honor me with a dance?" Princess Vermillion asked."The queen is tired. We're leaving. You can ask an unmarried man out there for a dance," Viishaun replied and left the lady greeting her teeth.On the carriage, none of them were talking. Aileen noticed the troubled look in his excellency's eyes. So, she asked, "Your excellency, is it truly fine to leave the castle? You have not finished the ball and haven't opened the gifts yet.""I don't care about those gifts. Your gift wasn't there. You didn't have anything for me, did you?""I actually brought something for you, but I am not sure if you would like it or not. Hence I hid it in my wardrobe," Aileen replied.The king cleared his throat and scooted a little to fill the gap between them. He caressed the queen's che
I became the king's obsession 56: Nightmare?
"Aileen, why are you still lazily lying on your bed?" says a voice that Aileen is familiar with, but she thought it's impossible unless..."Why am I here?""What do you mean?""Honey, I thought you were getting ready. Have you forgotten?""Huh?" Aileen asked, still confused. She glanced around the room and found a modern-style landscape of houses."We're supposed to go to the church to schedule our daughter's baptism."Suddenly, Aileen felt her heart couldn't function well. She finds it hard to breathe..."What's wrong? Wake up!" She could hear a voice, but it was barely getting on her senses. Aileen fought hard, and as soon as she recognized Viishaun's voice, she abruptly opened her eyes.She looked around and sighed upon realizing everything was a dream. Viishaun shook her shoulder and yelled, "What the hell? Why does your heart stop beating for a split second? You scared the hell out of me."Aileen clenched her clothes next to her chest and asked, "How is that possible? You probabl
I became the king's obsession 57: Too early to be prejudiced.
The king had finished his business with his trading partner on a new business he was about to establish secretly as an anniversary gift for his wife. However, Princess Elvira entered the room and asked for a few minutes from him."Let's talk outside," says Viishaun as he goes to the balcony. "Make it short and concise because my wife is waiting for me at the carriage.""I'm here to warn you. The empress and the crown prince are plotting to expand their influence, and they want to conquer your kingdom after he ascends the throne.""Now you're showing your true color. You are indeed the empress's lap dog.""I am here to make a deal. I can provide you with the information to defeat the crown prince. I can also lend you a hand to steal the throne, but in return, you'll make me your royal concubine.""Just how shameless can you get? Shall I exile you from my kingdom so I won't see your face ever again?" Viishaun replied with a cold gaze and sharp tone.The king left the room and went back
I became the king's obsession 58: Was it always this awkward?
The queen returned to the chamber and found an empty bed. She thought that the king might be in his office, or maybe he found his action irrational, and now he's reflecting on it.Suddenly, Aileen felt like exploding again. "Holy crap, why do I have to be flustered over that kiss? We've gone far from just a kiss, so why am I acting like this?... Why is my heart beating fast for the real personality of the king?"She bit the pillow and shoveled her face on it. She laid flat on the bed, and glued her eyes to the stuffed toy, then slowly fell asleep.************The queen woke up and was still exhausted. She caressed the bed and noticed that Viishaun's space was neat as if no one occupied it. She jumped off the bed and covered her thin nightgown with a royal maroon robe. On her way to the hot spring, she bumped into Viishaun."G-Good morning, Viishaun. I'm heading to a hot spring to relax my body. Where are you heading to?" Aileen asked to ease the awkwardness crawling between them.A

~knock~knock"Come in," says Aileen without looking at the door."This is the last pile of documents you need to review, madam."The queen tidied the other side of her table to accommodate the additional papers. "Kindly put them here," she said and tapped the top of her desk."I'll take my leave now, madam.""Sure. Thank you," the queen replied.Aileen was busy calculating the expense of the districts and provinces belonging to their kingdom. When she was about to stamp the documents with her royal seal, her eyes caught a glimpse of a flipped tarot card in her drawer. She picked it and recalled Lady Khaleesi."I've given up on reactivating the 'love-bind' spell. I also abandoned the idea of leaving this world. But seeing this card makes me feel anxious for some reason," Aileen mouthed while stamping the documents.Once done with her duty, she placed the seal and stamp back inside the drawer and ensured that the card was safe inside the drawer. She stretched a little and stared at the
