Every Queen Needs A King Novels & Stories

The room, with its classic furnishings and muted colour palette, provides a backdrop to the familial clash. I shake my head, a subtle defiance in my gesture. "Yes, I am a king, Dad, but I don't want some trophy wife who will sit beside me on the throne with no brain. I need a real woman, father," I assert, the determination in my voice resonating against the opulence of the surroundings. My father sighs, a gesture that carries the weight of parental concern. "Look, Henry, get yourself a real woman, but do it quickly before I put your brother as a temporary king."

A conference call like this most times indicated another fucking problem in the realms. Whoever said that being a king was easy, obviously lied. Because ruling was never about ordering people around.

If he was desperate, he could hire a well-trained assassin. “Without a queen by your side but only an heir, the people will not be at ease. They want a solid foundation, Your Majesty. We assure you that we are doing our best in pacifying them, but their clamor remains the same. A queen and an heir. For this kingdom.” The people will not be at ease, but these assholes will be celebrating. If I fail to give what they want, their puppet king will be taking my throne from me.

"It's a good thing for me anyway. I can just use this opportunity to get some much needed sleep. I've been so stressed, I need the rest and---" Baski came to her front and hugged her close. "It's okay to feel bad, Danika. No one ever gets used to the bitter fact that a man who was supposed to be hers, is in the company of another woman." Danika swiped the tears away. "The king is not mine." "You're right, he isn't. You are not the only woman the king has. Several mistresses and slaves belong to the king, but a King belongs to his Queen."

Being the queen was almost as dangerous as being the king because they see the queen as the weakness of the king and believed killing the queen would destabilize the king. That was why most kings settled for contract marriage instead of crowning the women they love. They found an absolute stranger to take that position so they wouldn't be fazed when the queen is killed. How complicated, but that was how it worked down here. Derek tilted his head slightly to the side. “And what are your conditions?” He asked, ignoring the man's speech.

She snared loudly and turned to leave when Elder Tyrrell spoke. " We invited you for something else actually " How dare he speak after banishing her son and causing his death? Rita turned back to them wondering what he meant. " Elder Tyrrell is right, there's something more" Elder Maddox told her and the others agreed with a nod as usual before he continued speaking. "As we all know, the new king doesn't have a luna yet but it is the law that the king must take the throne with a wife, the queen. There's no king without a queen in the history of Baridoki and his case will not be different.

It was about something far more unsettling. A king who had not grown soft. A queen who knew how to rule.

"If that's the case, why don't you just look for a king? You have been alone for too long and your palace has been lonely for too long. I think getting to this point is certainly not something that would really be very good and I am also sure that whatever you have decided is not something you should do. Queen Alanna, you can't always be queen alone because there are times when you also have to have offspring from a king to continue being a guest in this palace. If you get sick or even die, who will take over your kingdom?

Any of them would rule well beside her.” Beside me. They mean over me. “The best among them”, Kaelros adds, “can be selected. He will become king. She will fulfill her duty as queen.” Then one elder speaks—a voice sharp as a blade, slick with venom. “In truth, Your Majesty,” he sneers, “the princess should be grateful.
