Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

“It seems Tessa is lost in thought”Fiona murmured.

“Yes, I think so,”Honour replied, staring at her.

“What should we do now?”Promise asked.

“I need to distract her from those thoughts, or else she might end up saying no to his proposal”Fiona replied, looking at King Nathaniel worriedly.

“Why don’t you go ahead Fiona”Honour murmured.

“I,, should,, go,,”She shuttered.

“Yes, you should. “Promise replied.

“Okay”Fiona replied, nodding at her.

She smiled at her sister, moving her feet to the podium.

“Will you marry me Tessa?”King Nathaniel asked again.

“Tessa,”Fiona whispered.

“Is she alright?”King Nathaniel asked Fiona.

“She’s lost in thought, Your Highness. if I should tap her out of it, I am fifty percent sure that she will reply to you NO. “Fiona explained.

“Oh heavens, why will she say no, despite being in love with me”King Nathaniel whispered.

“Just kiss her, and ask her again, ”Fiona whispered in his ear. Walking away.

“I should kiss her ”King Nathaniel murmured and chucked. He stood up and moved his feet.

“She’s truly lost in thoughts”He murmured.

He tucked her hair behind her ear, caressing her cheeks. He moved his head closer to her face and slammed his lips on hers. Tessa snapped out of her thoughts, breathing heavily. She couldn’t get along with the kiss for that moment.

“Tessa”King Nathaniel called her name in between the kisses.

“Nat, I, I, I …. I should–Dont say another word”King Nathaniel said, shutting her up in between the kiss.

A loud scream could be heard by the audience. King Nathaniel disengaged from the kiss slowly and romantically. He went on his knees again, stretching his hand.

“Will You Marry Me Princess Tessa Brown”King Nathaniel asked again, with a lovely smile and puppy eyes.

“Yes, Yes, Yes I will. I will marry you, am ready to marry you King Nathaniel”Tessa screamed as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. He slid the ring in her finger.

“This is cute,”Tessa murmured, hugging Nathaniel tightly.

“Thank you, Thanks for saying yes”King Nathaniel whispered softly in her ears.

“I love this, why don’t we get engaged tomorrow and plan our wedding some other day.”Tessa whispered.

“I was planning to ask you that, I just held back my thoughts, thought you won’t like the idea.

“I love it so much, I really want to spend some time, probably some days with you, you alone.”Tessa whispered back.

“When should we tell your parents?”King Nathaniel asked worriedly, staring at the King and Queen’s metres away.

“I will do that now”She uttered softly. And pulled away from his arms.

“Hello Everyone,”She said into the mic.

“Long Live Her Majesty”They praised.

“Father,”She called. King Justin gave her a questioning look.

“I want Nathaniel and I to get engaged tomorrow,”she said.

“What??, Why?”King exclaimed.

“Yes Father, that’s what King Nathaniel and I want.”She replied with a bold expression but deep inside of her, she’s very scared.

“Grant her wish, Your Highness,”Queen Lola said.

“Can I get some minutes with you two.”he said, standing up on his feet.

“Why are you in a rush?”King Justin asked, crossing his hand.

“Father, Nathaniel and I really want to be together. We understand each other”Tessa uttered softly.

“Really, when was that, when did you both start to understand each other. I don’t think you are sure.”King Justin growled.

“Father”Tessa growled.

“I know what I’m doing,”King Justin yelled.

“I can’t believe you are in between Tessa’s happiness”Queen Lola interferes.

“How?, Meaning?”King Justin asked.

“They want to understand each other more by getting engaged, ” she said earlier. Just grant her this.”Queen Lola said leaning on the wall.

“Tessa should get my point, I am trying to protect her lover, but she’s ruining it all. How do I explain this”King Justin thought.

“Father Please”Tessa begged.

“You don’t have to worry, Your Highness, I just want to spend the rest of my life with Tessa,”King Nathaniel uttered, locking his hand with Tessa’s.

“I don’t think that’s possible, there’s a storm coming”King Justin thought.

“Father please”Tessa begged.

“Tessa I am — Father please, She cut in “we just want to get engaged after that we plan our wedding another day”Tessa pleaded.

“I don’t know why you get worried too much, everything will be fine, just get them engaged.”Queen Lola uttered softly.

“Lola,”King Justin called.

“Please, at least make your daughter happy,”Queen Lola pleaded.

“Okay, you can get engaged, I am in support of it”King Justin muttered, walking out of the room.

“Yes,, Yes,, we’re gonna get engaged tomorrow”Tessa screamed, hugging King Nathaniel tightly.

“Are you excited to that extent?”King Nathaniel asked.

“Yes,”Tessa replied sharply.

“Let’s go now,”King Nathaniel said, taking her hand.

“Did the King agree to your suggestion?”Fiona asked.

“Point of correction, it’s not a suggestion but a wish, what I want.”Tessa muttered.

“Don’t get pissed,”Fiona uttered.

“Am not, I just want to get myself ready again tomorrow. It’s going to be a busy day for me”Tessa uttered, walking out of the celebration.

“It’s getting late,”Fiona murmured.

” The wedded couples are about to leave,”A guard announced.

Everyone got emotional, after seeing how teary Royalty and the sisters were. Royalty smiled at her sister and waved her hand at them and gave them a goodbye hug.
