KING’S CHAMBER**
“You really went to George’s house?” King Lucian asked
“I don’t have a choice” Liam said
“Wow….” Lucian clapped
“What,are you mocking me?” Liam frowned
“Mock? I envy you so much” Lucian said
“You didn’t tell me you’ve finally made your maid your woman” Liam grinned
“That’s because you went to your in law house and I couldn’t find you” Lucian scoffed and Liam chuckled
“Seriously? Finally my wish” He sighed out
“Your wish? How come that’s your wish?” Lucian raised his brows
Liam immediately stood up
“I’m going to sleep” He faked a yawn
“Hey,complete what you started” Lucian also stood up
“Goodnight” Liam smiled and immediately left
“Is he serious right now” Lucian let out a light laughter but was interrupted by Carl who came in with Adelaide in his arms
“Why are you carrying her?” King Lucian immediately asked
“I’m sorry your majesty but she’s totally wasted” Carl replied and adjusted Adelaide in his arms
“Stop adjusting her in your arms!” King Lucian yelled
“I’m sorry” Carl muttered
Lucian scoffed and moved closer
“I will take her in…..” Carl stopped when the king shot him a glare
King Lucian took Adelaide from him
“You can go” He said
“Goodnight your majesty” Carl bowed and went out
Lucian turned his face to Adelaide who was sleeping soundly
“You should stop drinking,I don’t like it” He muttered and started walking into the bedroom
He entered and dropped Adelaide on the bed
He covered her up with the duvet before walking into the bathroom

NEXT MORNING**
Adelaide opened her eyes and stretched her arms tiredly
‘How did I get here last night?’ She thought and brushed her hair to the back with her fingers
Just then,the door opened and King Lucian entered,he was dressed up and seems he’s going out
Their eyes met but he choose to ignore her,surprising Adelaide
“My King” She called when he tried going out again and Lucian faced her
“Are you angry with me?” She asked
“Do you remember how you end up here?” Lucian asked and Adelaide shook her head
“I thought I told you I don’t want you getting drunk again” King Lucian said and Adelaide bite her lips
“You can’t keep on doing anything you want,especially being drunk. You’ve got people watching you,I’m not going to make a drunkard the future queen…”
“I’m sorry” Adelaide immediately said
“I’m sure you will do it again,what’s the excess of apologizing?” King Lucian scoffed and went out
Adelaide groaned and fell on her back before letting out a loud sigh
‘But….he just said he can’t make a drunkard the queen….does that mean he really want me to become the queen like the deity said??’ Adelaide asked herself and a double excitement hit her,forgetting the fact that she just got scolded
She started laughing while hitting her legs on the bed
“My lady,the royal stylist is here” She heard a voice from outside and she sat up immediately
She’s supposed to be trying out her ball dress,the ball is finally tomorrow night.
“I will be there” She answered and walked into the bathroom.
MINUTES LATER★ADELAIDE’S SUITE**
“Wow,you really look beautiful” the stylist said as Adelaide stood in front of the mirror
It’s a red dress which touched the ground,the upper part was looking segzier,laces was used at the back showing some little skin. It look totally hot on her
“I love it” Adelaide smiled
“Of course you would” The stylist smiled
Finally Adelaide took the dress off again
All of a sudden,the door opened and they both turned to see queen Sofia.
“My queen” The stylist immediately bowed,Adelaide’s heart started beating fast.
“You can excuse us” Queen Sofia said to the stylist who walked out immediately
“Good morning your highness” Adelaide bowed and to her surprise,Queen Sofia smiled at her.
“A hug would do” She said,shocking Adelaide more but she didn’t Waste time before running into the queen’s arms
Queen Sofia smiled,patting her back slowly until they disengaged.
“I see the king choose the best suite for you” Queen Sofia said,looking around and Adelaide took her bottom lip in
Queen Sofia faced her
“You don’t have to be confused,not like I have a choice than to accept wh@ťěver the king wants” She said
“You will really accept me?” Adelaide asked
“Of course,as long as my son is happy” Queen Sofia replied and a smile escape Adelaide’s lips
“Thank you queen mother” She bowed
“Just call me mother from now on” Queen Sofia said and Adelaide gasped
“I can?” She asked and the queen nodded
“Thank you mother,it’s my first time calling anyone mother” Adelaide muttered
Queen Sofia smiled
“Then use this opportunity well” She said
Adelaide smiled
“I will mother” She said,hugging the queen again
“I should go” Queen Sofia turned toward the door
“I will walk you back to your suite,mother” Adelaide said
“Then let’s go” Queen Sofia replied and they both left the suite together
***
Adelaide was on her way back from the queen’s suite,she was so overjoyed. Now seems her problem is slowly coming to an end.
She was still walking when she started hearing murmurs among the maids
? Do you guys really believe the king will ever stoop so low to make someone like her his woman?
? She will not become the queen tho
? She must be feeling on top of the world now
? I will never believe until I see them with my own eyes
? I’ve never seen a maid becoming a queen,Hers won’t be different
Adelaide bite her bottom lip hard,she couldn’t deny the fact that those words got her. The maids aren’t hiding it either,they knew she could hear them but they kept saying hurtful words
She didn’t know when a tear dropped from her eyes,she looked down and wiped the drop off.
She made to walk again but her head hit someone’s chest and immediately the maids became silent, she looked up only to find the king standing in front of her,Carl and some guards behind her.
“My king….”
“My name” King Lucian cut her off
“Lucian” Adelaide called lowly
Lucian pulled her closer to himself immediately and slammed his lips on her own right there.
Everyone gasped out in shock
