THRONE ROOM**
The councils kept talking but king Lucian wasn’t listening to any of it,he couldn’t stop thinking about Adelaide and the fact that she’s obviously angry with him made him mad at himself. She had refused to talk to him even this morning and now he’s not himself anymore.
“Your Majesty” Carl called silently beside him when he noticed how lost he was
King Lucian looked up
“The councils” Carl muttered and King Lucian turned to them,they were all quiet now wondering what is wrong with the king
King Lucian suddenly stood up
“The meeting is dismissed,,let’s do this tomorrow” He said and without waiting he went out
Carl immediately followed him
The councils exchanged glances but none of them said a word,they started walking out one after the other.
**
“Your majesty” Carl called after Lucian
“Don’t worry about me Carl” King Lucian replied and Carl was quiet until they got to his chamber
“You can leave” King Lucian said to Carl before going in
The moment he entered,Adelaide who was sitting down looked up. Their eyes met and she slowly dropped the cup in her hand
“Are you okay?” She asked
Lucian snubbed the question and pulled her up into a tight hug, confusing her
“My King” She called
“I’m sorry” He muttered,hugging more tightly
“Please forgive me,,,I love you so much. I’m madly in love with you,I swear I’m never going to make that mistake again” He added
Adelaide smiled before hugging him back
“Promise?” She asked
“I promise” Lucian replied and broke the hug slowly
“Am I forgiven?” He asked
Adelaide nodded with a cute smile playing on her lips
Lucian pecked her cheek
“Why the cheek?” Adelaide muttered
“I thought…” Before he could finish,she already slammed her lips on his own
King Lucian quickly responded to the kiss hungrily.
They broke the kiss
“Aren’t you busy?” Adelaide asked
“I was but not anymore,I’m going to spend all day with you,I won’t leave your side” King Lucian said and Adelaide smiled
“I have a surprise for you” Lucian smiled,playing with her hair
“Really? What Is it?” Adelaide immediately asked
“Come here” Lucian grabbed her hand and they both walked out of the chamber,two guards followed them as they walked until they got to the next suite.
The guards stopped at the entrance,Adelaide and the king went in
“Whoa” Adelaide muttered admirably staring all over
“Do you like it?” Lucian asked
“It’s so beautiful,whose suite is this? I never knew there’s one like this in the palace” She replied,still looking around
“It’s yours” King Lucian said and Adelaide turned to him in shock
“What?”
“This is going to be yours from now” Lucian repeated
She gasped and immediately rushed to hug him
“I love it so much” she said excitedly
“I can’t wait to tell everyone that you’re mine,I can’t” King Lucian said,tightening the hug
“Me too” Adelaide muttered
They were still in that position when the door opened and three maids entered
Nadia,Melita and another girl
Their eyes widened as they released a loud gasp,the stuffs in Nadia’s hands fell on the floor instantly
King Lucian and Adelaide broke the hug and faced the maids
“Your Majesty” They all bowed at once
“Why are you here?” King Lucian asked
“We are…..here …..to finish the cleaning” Nadia stammered,unable to look at Adelaide
Lucian winked at Adelaide and Adelaide smiled
“Make sure it’s all done today,I can’t wait to come here” She said
The maids couldn’t believe their ears as they stared at Adelaide
“Why are you staring? Start working” Lucian said
“We are sorry your Majesty” They chorused
Adelaide grabbed Lucian’s hand
“Let’s go honey” She smiled as they walked out
“What?!! Honey???” Melita asked
Nadia was at the point of losing her breath
“So….Adelaide is the one we’ve been cleaning for?” The third girl asked
“Tell me this is a dream,somebody should wake me up!!” Nadia screamed breathlessly
“I’m sure she will throw us out of the palace soon” Melita broke into tears

EVENING**
Adelaide was walking through the palace lobby,she was wishing the old deity would appear all of a sudden.
King Lucian suddenly got a very important work to attend to
She passed a young lady who was kinda strange but still looking beautiful,they both looked at each other as they pass each other
‘Is she the old deity?’ Adelaide thought suspiciously
‘But how come she’s so young?’ She thought again and turned to look at her but she was gone
‘Im right,it’s one of the deity, How come she’s looking young? Do they change bodies??’ She kept thinking
She was still walking when suddenly she saw Matilda and Esmeralda coming closer
She stopped knowing fully that Matilda won’t leave without stopping too.
“Here comes the so called king’s woman” Matilda gave her a mocking smirk and Esmeralda chuckled
Adelaide stood properly and fold her arms
“Thank you,King’s Ex Mistress” Adelaide smiled and Matilda frowned
“What do you mean by ex?? Seriously?? Do you know the king and I had a great time together yesterday??” She asked trying to annoy Adelaide
“Of course I know,he told me exactly what happened and congratulations for kissing him. I’m sure it’s a farewell gift coz that will be the last time you will step into the king’s chamber,I will make sure of that lady Matilda” Adelaide smirked
“How dare you!! Who the Füçk do you think you are!!” Matilda yelled angrily
“You said it yourself,I’m the King’s woman” Adelaide smiled and flaunt her hair
Immediately Matilda raised her hand to slap her but Adelaide caught her hand in the air
“Why do you love death so Much?” She asked and turned to Esmeralda
“Here,hold her for a second” She said and like a Spell,Esmeralda held Matilda’s hand
“Thank you” Adelaide smiled and immediately packed her hair into a bun before grabbing Matilda’s hand again
She looked around and her eyes landed on the nearest door,she started dragging Matilda with her
“What do you think you’re doing you witch!!!” Matilda kept screaming as Adelaide dragged her away,no matter how she tried pushing Adelaide away,she couldn’t.
Adelaide pushed her into the room and also entered with her before closing the door.
Outside,Esmeralda came back to reality as she started hearing Matilda’s scream,she tried to run to the door but something held her back and she couldn’t carry her legs
“What’s….what’s…happening?” She stammered as she tried walking but it was impossible
“Help!!!! Someone help!!!!” She started crying in fears
“Ahhhh!!!!! Help!!!!”
The third deity (deity of distruction) couldn’t hold her laughter anymore as she kept controlling Esmeralda with her eyes
“Hurry up chosen one,I have just five minutes left,break her bones” She said with a smirk
