Love Agreement With The King

He then, after taking a long breath, walked away, having Roselyn smile widely from the enjoyment she got.

Maybe, eventually, his idea of an agreement wasn't so far-fetched. Even if she didn't hear the conditions yet, it seemed to be to her way more beneficial than it was for him. Unless it had something to do with his incapacity of casting a shadow.

But Roselyn nodded no, as her everything was probably exaggerated.

She heard he was used to practicing lots of sports and hunting, which, according to the rumors it was his favorite hobby, that would explain the strength. So she had nothing to worry about, she just had to hear his conditions and his requests and then consider if she could accept or not.

At some point, she had to marry someone so maybe the only thing she could do to fulfill her desires and, for once in her life, prioritize her dreams was to find someone who would accept and share her thoughts.

And unexpectedly he seemed to be that someone, however, her major concern was her sister now.

She already was blind with rage when he visited her for a normal chat, knowing that they would marry would signal the end of their relationship.

She couldn't even tell the truth, because otherwise, she would try to make her change her mind just to be the one to marry the King.

At just the right time, Sharon reached her, clapping her hands with a freezing facial expression.

Her rigid gaze made Roselyn feel immediately hurt, although she promised herself she would be the one to take care of herself. She couldn't stop her heart to feel sorry for what she was planning to do.

"Good job. Few things have me left completely speechless but, dear sister, you can claim the first place in being the person who disappointed me most. You're the last person I would think would betray me and look at you now."

Meanwhile, the King bodyguards that now were her bodyguards hearing how her sister was speaking to her took steps forward to try to intimidate enough to tone it down.

Sharon instead didn't lower her voice a bit. Her anger boiled up through her veins. "Earlier you stated you were just talking normally and now he seemed completely fallen for you."

Roselyn took a long breath. Having to lie to their own family was not the happiest thing she could do, but she had no other choice, "It was a surprise for me too, but we had a great time and I'm ..."

She stopped to talk when her mother and her second sister reached her.

"I've always known you were like this. Who doesn't want to have a handsome and high-ranked man like the King?" She gestured her hand and scoffed, Abigail laid her hand on her shoulder to shake it lightly, trying to calm her.

"I'm sure Roselyn didn't mean to lie to us. There must be a further explanation," Abigail added, staring at Rose with a pleading look, having Roselyn felt conflicted as a result.

"Well, Rose, now that you successfully conquered the King, you have to accept the consequences." Her mother took a word, but Roselyn gazed turned slightly to the side from where Kathy was gazing at her.

Trying to ignore her distraction her mother continued, "you have now to be like your sisters, behave like them. A lady who has the graces of the King should be an example for every other lady. But..." Roselyn went to look at her, frowning lightly when her mother stopped, to purse her lips, and continued, "but if you don't think you're able to do it, then you should do the best thing you can do. Let your sister, Sharon, take your place."

Hearing her mother's frank words, her face assumed a groom look, she was left speechless. She couldn't believe that when she finally found a man by herself, her mother would tell her to let him to her sister.

Sharon undoubtedly deserved a high-rank man. She always was working hard to guarantee the men who looked at her a magnificent view. She was saying the right things to her suitors, even to the dullest ones. A false move seldom occurred and when it did, it always ended in the best result. What happened to Miss Teresa was indeed an example.

Kathy walked forward, noticing her friend's being in a tight spot. Her approach gave her the courage to answer.

"I know it may seem weird to you." some people turned around and shamelessly listened to what she was going to say.

"But I found a man who can share my same desires, for the first time in almost three years of search. Maybe my endeavor wasn't enough to deserve such luck of having the King laid his eyes on me. But it mysteriously happened. However, I hoped from the bottom of my heart, that my family would be happy for me. I see now that it was too much to ask."

Roselyn said spitefully. The silence felt on the room and her voice was clear and sharp to be heard by every guest in the room. She was sure that from that day, her life would change forever, but it was the only thing she could do.

Sharon took a step forward. In a low voice she said, "you don't have what it takes to be a Queen. You barely know how to talk with men without creating useless arguments just to have them dislike you and not ask for your hand. And now you think you can rule a Kingdom and be up to its need?" she scoffed. "Darling, you don't know what you're running into. But I can't wait to see you fail."

With the coldness of her voice, Sharon smiled and walked away. She didn't reply, but she agreed with her sister. Roselyn was just a normal girl with simple desires who was born in a quite high-rank family, which was part of high society.

If she accepted the agreement, she had to learn how to talk to people, learn how to be patient, as she wasn't, and the hardest thing, she had to get used to live in a lie.

After all, was she really ready for that?
