Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

“My princess,”They called.

“Don’t my princess me, do you even know what you have done?”Fiona yelled.

“We are very sorry”They apologized.

“Varaganisa”Fiona called gritting her teeth.

“What should we do?”They asked, clueless of the whole situation.

“Come with me,” she muttered. Leading them to her room.

Fiona cursed below her breath staring at her personal guards angrily.

“I want the truth, nothing but the truth.”Fiona muttered and continued.

“How did you get to know I was here, how did you even plan all this up”Fiona asked, with frustration.

“I will explain everything,”Alex said.

“A year after your departure, King Zain investigated secretly. I was the one that investigate secretly and get to know that you were sold into slavery. I came back and gave King Zain the news. He came up with a way to get you out of here, but his plan was ruined when we heard that King Justin of Chill Hills is a ruthless and cold-hearted king— Fiona interrupted.

“What the hell, that’s a fucking lie, where did you hear such from”Fiona asked, feeling furious.

“I heard from some, an import trader from another kingdom who imports goods from this kingdom to his kingdom”He explained bravely.

“That trader is a fool, who is only into trade. He’s not from this kingdom, imagine. So immediately I disappeared from the castle. I took your brains with me”Fiona asked, not with a cool face.

“No, my princess,”He replied with fear.

Fiona scoffed and gave him you can continue face expression.

Alex inhales and exhales heavily before continuing his speech.

“We heard that King Justin of Chill Hills is a ruthless and cold-hearted King who takes young people as slaves and mostly he takes people for auction —fiona interrupts again.

“Auction, oh heavens. What the hell is all this? I feel like beheading you right this minute Alex”Fiona uttered, running her hand through her hair in anger. Alex didn’t think twice before falling on his knees to ask for forgiveness…

“King Justin isn’t the person taking people as slaves, it’s Varaganisa for heaven’s sake. He brings those slaves here because he’s threatening the king, he’s making the king dance to his tunes. And the auction isn’t true, these things are just rumors Alex. Where is my intelligent Alex? ”Fiona cried.

“I’m very sorry, my princess,”Alex apologized, holding her legs.

“Continue your explanation”Fiona uttered ignoring his pleas.

“So King Zain come up with a plan to kidnap the princesses and torture them because all our believe is that they are torturing you with serious labour”Alex explained not after realsing a deep breath. He sighed and continued.

“For us to identify the princesses we need to get their portraits, So this time around Raymond and Sebastian came along in search of the princesses artist. We gave him coins and told him that we loved the princesses. He gave us the portraits and we left for Assyria.

On our search we met King Varaganisa. He told us that the princesses, especially Princess Tessa, is the one in charge of the slaves. After his meeting with us he left. We gave King Zain the portraits. But Raymond and Sebastian, including me, noticed something different about King Zain ever since he saw the portraits. “Alex uttered. Fiona’s gaze widened immediately when she heard his last statement.

“What changed about Zain?” she asked curiously.

“We think he’s in love with one of the princesses”The three of them answered.

“Can you describe the one?”Fiona asked.

“There’s three portraits there, there’s one who is bursty and she’s very white and tall.” Sebastian described.

“That’s Princess Royalty,”Fiona replied.

“There’s a lean and fair among the three, she looks young,”Raymond described.

“That’s Princess Promise”Fiona uttered.

“Then the last one must be princess Tessa. Our King is in love with the eldest princess”Alex gasped.

“She’s engaged,”Fiona scoffed.

“What ? ?”The exclaimed.

“She was engaged days ago, but now she’s no more engaged. King Nathaniel was assassinated the night of their engagement. But if Zain is in love with Tessa. Why will he kidnap her brutally? “Tessa uttered worriedly.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“That’s what I was thinking, my princess,”Raymond replied.

“Hold on, how did you know Zain is in love with Her Majesty Tessa. Because if I can remember very well, Zain is very cold when it comes to ladies or women. He doesn’t like them.”Fiona asked curiously.

“He hung her portrait only on the wall of his Chamber, he stopped his mistress Raine from coming to his Chambers. He talks to her portraits every night. He kept doubting the news King Varaganisa gave us. “Alex explained.

“Wow! This is good news. He falls in love easily, finally he’s in love with the most intelligent and kind-hearted person in this world.”Fiona giggled.

“What’s the next move?”Alex asked.

“I don’t know,”Fiona replied, crossing her arms around her chest.

“Why don’t you tell everyone about your identity “Raymond suggested.

“Did you suddenly grow nuts? You want them to eat me alive”Fiona muttered.

“I’m sorry , my princess,”Raymond apologized.

“What should I do, because if Zain is in love with Tessa then who kidnapped them?”Fiona thought.

*The door burst widely revealing Mrs Evelyn and Honour*

“We heard everything” They uttered.

“So these are your personal guards and your brother is in love with Tessa’s. No your brother is in love with Tessa’s portrait”Honour chuckled.

“Is your brother really planning to kidnap the sisters “Mrs Evelyn asked.

“He was planning to, but I think he is. He’s in love with her. Then, while will, he kidnaps her”Fiona uttered.

“If your brother is not the kidnapper then who is the kidnapper?”Mrs Evelyn asked.
