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
I became the king's obsession 59: Started to feel like home.
~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
I became the king's obsession 60: I love you
"Let's have tea together, my love."Aileen grabbed the king and pushed the king into the couch. Then she said, "Sit still until the doctor's arrives." Little did she know, the doctor was already standing at the door. But could not announce his arrival because the king and queen were in their own world."I don't need treatment. My lovely wife is here already. One kiss, it will hurt no more," says Viishaun as he tapped the space next to him, telling her to sit beside him. "I don't know where you got that idea, but a kiss won't stop your wrist from bleeding," says Aileen while brushing her palm on her face."Your kiss will make me feel better," Viishaun replied, wearing his sweetest smile."That's not the point, Viishaun! Are you even aware that even a small cut could harm a person? Imagine having your arms cut," says Aileen, trying to make sense of her argument."Who will dare cut a king's hand? They may do so, but it will cost their life," says Viishaun, with a sweet tone and smiling
I became the king's obsession 61: Marking his property
Aileen woke up to the touch of a sweet and soft thing touching her lips. She opened her left eye only to see her husband woke her with a kiss as morning greetings."How's your hand, Shaun?""Shaun?" The king cleared his throat and sat straight on the bed."Oh! You're back to your old self. Let me have a look at your hand," Aileen reached his excellency's wounded wrist and sighed. Then she said, "I'm really sorry. How should I make it up to you? You can ask me anything; I wouldn't mind. I feel guilty seeing your hand with a bandage.""Take off my clothes," says Viishaun with a straight face."W-What?""Suppose you ask me in what way you could make it up to me. I'm asking you to help me change.""I see," Aileen replied and laughed awkwardly. Her delicate fingers started unbuttoning his white polo but soon stopped with the third button. She could not help but feel the heat as her eyes feasted over his slightly revealed chest.Her mind was screaming... 'Stop thinking impure thoughts. Get
I became the king's obsession 62: Jealous?!
"I told you I can move my hand, so stop bothering me here in my office.""It's better to be safe. I want to take care of you," Aileen says while feeding his excellency with grilled beef.Viishaun wanted to protest but couldn't say no to her actions. He sort of finds it sweet and feels embarrassed by the eyes of the servants. He couldn't bear the feeling of someone babysitting him.He stood up and left the dining area. Then, head straight to his office only to find that the queen had followed her. She volunteered to do his paperwork. He silently watched his wife do silly things, such as catching the paper that floats in the air.He thought how useless he had become after associating himself with the Queen. His fast reflexes had failed him. He thought catching the lady was as easy as catching prey. He even injured his wrist this time. 'Never had I injured my body in the war, yet look what happened to me,' says a voice inside Viishaun's head. His mind was full of thoughts such as... '
I became the king's obsession 63: Love in the broad daylight
Aileen woke up to a strand of hair tickling her nose hole. She glanced at the guy sleeping soundly with his head resting near her chest. She sighed and recalled how hard she fought not to fall into temptation. And obviously, she failed.She recalled how his whimpering face had melted her heart. He looked like a puppy asking if her owner does not love him anymore. Aileen sniffed and smelled a fragrance of aloe vera on his excellency's hair. She brushed her fingers on his hair and asked, "Shaun, are you awake?"She jolted when Viishaun grabbed her hand and placed it on his cheek. "What did I tell you about calling that bastard's name in front of me?""I'm sorry. It's just that I was checking if you're still under the spell.""I hate it when you keep calling his name instead of mine.""What's the difference? It's just a matter of spelling.""You don't understand, but you're not calling the real me, and that's what makes me mad," Viishaun replied."Can you explain it in a way that I wou
I became the king's obsession 64: His weak spot
"What brought you here, your majesty?" The Crown Prince left his throne and bowed his head to the empress, his biological mother."It will only take time before your inauguration as the emperor, you should get rid of the possible pest that will threaten your position, especially that child..." says the empress as she greets her teeth. Despite Viishaun's stepping away from the palace, the empress and the crown had always been bashful against him. The two had always seen the second prince as a bastard child of a concubine, who would eventually steal everything from them.They always think that the second prince was acting uninterested in the crown and throne, but in reality, Viishaun was only waiting for a fatal opportunity to seize everything.Empress Viniah Ishie Pelluia Allandis had always been envious of how the emperor loved and took good care of the late royal concubine. When Viishaun was born, she tried to forget her hatred toward the second prince's mother since Royal consort M
I became the king's obsession 65: Season 2
Aileen noticed that the king had been quiet since yesterday. She keeps glancing at her husband and awaits if the king will talk his mind."I'll be leaving next week to inspect the late Vermillion's dukedom.""Vermillion? You mean your former lover?"The king glared at his queen and replied, "lover and betrothed are not the same thing. How many times do I have to remind you?"Aileen cleared her throat and cut the ham on her plate. Then, she only replied, "When are you coming back?""It would be a three days tour to finish the inspection and my business with the Vermillions.""O-Ok. Travel safely then," Aileen replied in a soft voice.Then an awkward silence filled the dining hall. If it isn't for the king, the silence would prevail. "It concerns allocation and developing that dukedom. I seized it. Hence from an independent dukedom, that domain is now ours.""Why are you explaining?""I am not explaining. I'm just sharing what my business there is all about," says Viishaun, denying tha
