Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

King Seven smiled after seeing her reaction. He knows she loves him, right from the day she saved him from dying. She’s just being shy to admit, she’s very pure and kind-hearted in everything.

“Evelyn,”King Seven called softly, turning her around.

“Evelyn, talk to me”he uttered, taking her hands, pulling her gently to the bench.

“King Seven —call me Seven”He interrupted.

“Seven,, I ,, I,, am not ready for this”She shuttered standing up on her feet, looking sideways away from his gaze.

“I know you aren’t ready but I just want to know if you have feelings for me, I feel you do. I just want to confirm that. Please Evelyn, you were gone before I realized my feelings for you.

Mrs Evelyn raised her head up a little

“This is arduous to say Seven” Mrs Evelyn shuttered a little, rubbing her sweating palms together.

“Okay, it’s fine. I won’t be able to come for Royalty’s wedding but am gonna visit when it’s Tessa’s engagement”King Seven uttered with a soft and broken voice.

“Are you leaving?”She asked with a panicked voice.

“Yeah, I don’t wanna travel late, but I am not leaving you. Am still coming back to visit you, huh!”King Seven uttered, kissing her forehead. He turned around and left, taking the exit route.

Meanwhile her daughter and the sisters are eavesdropping. Honour couldn’t hold her breath any more,

“Mother!!!”Honour screamed.

“What the hell is that?”She screamed again.

“Mrs Evelyn, we know you loved him, why can’t you just confess your feelings.”Princess Tessa asked, worriedly.

“Aunt, you should have let him know the truth. He believes you have feelings for him, he just wants you to admit”Royalty uttered, worriedly.

“I understand what she’s going through, it’s a hard thing to say if one is a shy type”Fiona uttered, exhaling softly.

“And you think what she did is right, all that my mom does is to cry every single day and night. Just because of what, just because of love. She said she wants to be loved, she’s sick and tired of sleeping alone. None of you asked why I stopped sleeping in Fiona’s room. Honour screamed, wiping her tears and faced her mother.

“Mom, this is your chance. The time you have been waiting for, don’t let it slip away from you. He loves you, he confessed he did, why not confess yours. Please, I don’t like seeing you in tears every night, I pet you to sleep most of the time.”Honour pleaded.

“But I don’t want to leave you all alone, Tessa has been through a lot for the past few weeks, Royalty is getting married tomorrow. I don’t know what to do”Mrs Evelyn whimpered, taking a seat on the bench.

“Am hundred percent sure he’s not out of the castle yet. You can still run and catch up with him Aunt, do this for your Ramiro. If you have any power and authority am definitely sure you will find him soon, please”Fiona uttered, taking her hands into hers.

“Yes mother, you can do this, don’t be shy”Honour murmurs softly.

Mrs Evelyn moved her gaze to each of them, they looked worried, they wanted the best for her at all times. This is her time, she shouldn’t lose it, because of her shyness when it comes to love.

She turned around and held her ball gown running towards the exit route King seven took earlier. Her long hair loosened and started swinging in the air.

“Hope our efforts aren’t in vain “Royalty uttered.

“I just want the best for my mom,”Honour added.

“Very soon it won’t be Honour but Princess Honour López “Royalty uttered, giggling softly.

“Oh!, heavens you just got engaged yet you aren’t mature. Won’t you go and seduce your fiancé before another lady snatch him on the dance floor with a wink ” Tessa uttered softly and romantically just to make her jealous.

(Gritting her teeth in anger)”Ryui won’t try such a thing.”Royalty uttered, confidently.

“Oh, this is Romeo and Juliet,”Promise finally says.

“No, it’s not Romeo and Juliet but Royalty and Ryui (R²) R square”Honour uttered, trying to hide her laughter.

“Aaaggghhh, I am leaving”Royalty screamed, storming out of their presence.

“This will be fun, let’s go and check on your mom, Honoured.”Tessa uttered, running ahead of them…

*******

Mrs Evelyn kept running, avoiding everyone’s glares.

(In thought)

“Why did I act stupid, I love him, he loves me. This is my chance, my second chance to love, I really love Seven but I never knew he does also. ”

Mrs Evelyn ceased, touching her chest as she breathing heavily. She inhales and exhales continuously. Looking at how Seven was commanding his soldiers. He didn’t know she was around in light of the fact that he’s back was turned against her.

A single teardrop down her cheeks, she sniffled back her tears. She ran to give him a back hug. King Seven was shocked, he was still wondering who could have hugged him that way.

“Seven”Mrs Evelyn called, between her tears.

“Evelyn”King Seven called with a soft voice.

“I’m sorry,”She cried.

“It’s fine, you don’t have to cry on that.. am going to wait for you, I promise”King Seven uttered, caressing her cheeks.

“No, I want to tell you something,”She said.

“Am listening, you can tell me anything. Should I get you something when coming back.”He asked, staring at her lovely.

“No, I don’t want anything. I just want to tell you that I love you”She shuttered, covering her face.

King Seven smiled and uncovered her face.

“I love you too, I always do”He replied and slammed his lips on hers.

“Yeeeeeh,, “Honour screamed, coming out of her hideout. jumping around.

“You are finally Princess Honour López”Royalty screamed.

“Yeah I am,”Honour replied quickly, raising her shoulders up.

“She thinks being a princess is a joyous thing”Tessa scoffs, smiling at the oldies lovers.
