All Chapters of Unloving His Majesty: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“I would, Your Highness, but I have the castle of May to manage,” Lady Celia responded, turning down the prince’s invitation. She had become fond of the prince, but everything was too confusing. She had never heard of someone being reborn or gone back in time before and did not know what was real and not anymore. Whatever the truth was, the only thing she was certain of was her friend’s love and loyalty. “I am certain that we can find a good and competent stuart to care for the castle of May. My queen and I will also be there often,”the prince suggested, his words taking the princess by surprise. He never cared about her castle before. It got so debilitated, her people were fixing it themselves. He also never visited her castle in their previous life. He even banned her from visiting it. “The castle of May is our second home. We will spend a week or two every month there,” the prince added when he noticed his wife’s surprised look. Princess Zania was once again conflicted. The prin

“I know, Luke. My queen might be mad and distrustful of me right now, but she is as patriotic as they come. Zania will always stand by what is good for our people,” the prince reassured his friend before enquiring about their informant. “Any word from Lucas?”He was aware that not everyone was happy with all the changes he was implementing. He was cautious not to let his gut down. Sir Luke nodded. “I was coming to that. The spears which killed both the kings were not from either of our tribes.”“I know that.”The prince’s response took his friend by surprise. He was flabbergasted when he received that information. “You do?”“Yes. I have lived through this, remember?” the prince reminded him. “Of course. Who killed the kings then?” Sir Luke enquired, unable to mask his curiosity. He also did not understand why the culprits were not executed if the prince knew that already. “It’s agents of the foreign company that smuggles out our diamonds while we fight each other. Killing the king

“I am immune to poison?” the princess asked her husband who flashed her a mischievous mysterious look before wrapping his arms around her waist. “Max. We spoke about this,”she warned while he raised his sexy eyebrows at her, making her heart flutter. “About what, My Love?”“We…we don’t have to pretend to love each other. We…”“I am not pretending, are you?” he interjected before his hands trailed down to her buttocks. “Max!” she cried, her heart already pounding. “Let…me…love…you, Zania.”His emphasis of every word and that baritone voice got her all gooey inside. “I…” she cursed inside, her body betraying her as usual and let out a sigh of relief when someone knocked at the door. She moved a distance from him, grateful for whoever that was. “Enter!” the prince shouted and quickly fixed his clothes. “Your Highnesses,” Sir Luke greeted. He studied the very well, alive and flushed Queen before his eyes settled on his friend. He wanted to laugh at the unmistakable bulge on his pan

In their chambers, Princess Zania started pacing. Nothing at all happened the way she remembered. Her heart was already won over by the prince and that terrified her. “Zania?” Prince Maxwell called to her. She was too quiet for his liking. “You…You executed Mary.”“Yes,” he confirmed. “Why?” she questioned. “You loved her,” she added, what he did starting to settle in. “She was a threat to you. I shall not harbour snakes in this island. My wife is untouchable,” he declared tenderly. “Max,” she called to him softly. “Mmmh?”“Maybe we could try it out and see,” she suggested while fidgeting with her hands. “Try what out, My Queen?”“Being married for real, you know,” she suggested and shrugged her shoulders. Her response made him laugh. “We were always married for real, Zania.”“You know what I mean.”“Does that mean you are going to stop taking the contraceptive?” he asked and watched her jaw drop. “How could you possibly know about that?”He wrapped his arms around her waist

Two days later, the Jolly island citizens lined up the streets again, others glued to their television screens to welcome their new King and Queen in a spectacular event. The ordinary citizens were really happy about the prospect of peace in their island and could not help getting excited about the anticipated changes. They knew that their new King and Queen were very pro youth and gender equality and expected to see a lot of younger ministers and councillors being appointed. “Long Live The King!”“Long Live The Queen!”People chanted, bowing to their new rulers as they made their way into the cathedral.In their full royal regalia which represented both tribes, the two were to take their oath to serve the people to the best of their ability, judge fairly and nurture its future generation. “Dear Beloved,” the priest addressed the guests. “Before we begin, I would like to inform everyone gathered here that Prince Maxwell has decided to give up his position as the prince. He will ther
