The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

The King of the merfolk brought me deeper into the depth of the ocean.

We met more people and all of them greeted the king in one way or the other.

Finally, the King and I arrived at a huge Palace. The palace was so bright. I could see multiple night pearls and other kind of stones and materials that gave off light.

The palace was made with unknown materials. The only things I could recognize were the pretty shells that were part of the palace's structure.

It was so beautiful.

If I wasn't here against my will, I would have spent more time admiring it.

The King brought me to a beautiful hall. The moment we came in, a beautiful lady swam to our position.

This lady didn't have a tail. She was in the same human form the king was currently in. Her gills and scales were a pretty pink. The color suited her pale skin.

She threw herself into the King's arms.

"My King, where have you been? Why do you like going out for swims without telling anyone? Don't you know there are people worried about you? I miss you." She said.

Her words were softer because she was hugging the King tightly. She gave me the feeling that she wanted to blend the king into her flesh.

After seeing her actions, I felt uncomfortable. This kind of love was enviable.

It was just a painful thing to know that the person she was investing her precious feelings on brought me back because I sparked his interest.

The King wrapped his arms around her before patting her slowly.

"Okay, that's enough. There is nothing that can happen to me under this Ocean." He replied after pushing her away slowly.

The lady's attention finally turned to me.

"Who is this?" She asked.

The happiness on her face from seeing the king return was fading away at a very fast pace.

Oh boy.

The King looked at me with a smile in his eyes, "This is the lady I chanced upon on my short swim. I didn't ask of your name from Maddox earlier. What's your name?"

I glanced at the lady with a bit more pity in my eyes before turning to the King, "My name is Sophia."

"Sophia, your name suits you just fine." The king said.

"Your majesty, is she a guest from one of the neighboring tribes? No, I don't think so. She looks like she is one of the savages from the surface." The lady that came to welcome the king questioned.

The King shook his head in disapproval, "Don't call anyone savages. It's rude. Besides, she is not really a guest. She would be part of our family soon."

I didn't like the sound of his last sentence. I knew this King had a stubborn mind. His mind was as hard as a coconut so I didn't waste my saliva to refute him.

That would be for later.

"Oh?" The lady said as her eyes narrowed.

"Yes." The King affirmed, "Where is the Queen? I want her to make some arrangements for Sophia."

Queen?

My eyes widened and it was taking every bit of my willpower not to let my mouth drop open in shock.

So this lady that came to welcome the king wasn't even the Queen? Her love, words and actions were so convincing.

Things were outrageous. I was starting to have a bad feeling.

What in Caesar's name have I stumbled on?

Someone rushed into the beautiful hall. It was a merman.

His pale blue tail moved swiftly. He was wearing a semi formal outfit. The new arrival came directly to where the King stood.

"My King, there's a few memorials you have to review and there are some issues we need your opinion on too. It is urgent." The merman said.

The sharp white spear in his hands glinted coldly even as it was underwater. I have no doubt about how sharp that weapon was.

The King's playful expression faded away and he nodded.

He turned to both me and the lady that was still staring daggers at me.noveldrama

"Sasha, take Sophia to the Queen. Sophia should be arranged into a suitable accommodation and everything, including the furnishings and her food should be at the level of a concubine. Nothing should be skipped or watered down. I would be back." The king said before leaving with the sea folk that rushed into the hall. Soon, the only people remaining in the hall were Sasha and I.

Everywhere was quiet. The silence was oppressive and almost tangible.

Since Sasha didn't make any moves, I didn't make one too. I didn't have anything to

say to her. Besides, I was new to this environment and territory.

I don't really know where the Queen is or what she looked like. My next actions depended on Sasha.

Unfortunately, it was very obvious that Sasha was not happy to do the things the King ordered her to carry out.

I didn't really blame her. If I was Sasha, I wouldn't be too happy with the current too.

Thinking of Killian getting a concubine or mistress was just getting me angry unnecessarily.

I stopped thinking about that scenario at once. I have to believe in Killian.

I believed in Killian. He wasn't the kind of person to beat around the bush unnecessarily.

If he didn't like me anymore, he would speak up. It should be very clear that I didn't

like to share my man. Besides, Killian didn't look like the polygamous type.

"Sophia." Sasha called.

"Hmm." I responded.

"Why are you here?" Sasha questioned.

I was flabbergasted. My mouth finally dropped open due to shock.

Did this lady know what she was saying?

I don't know if this thriving community of merfolk has a psychiatric doctor. What I

know is that Sasha needs to be mentally checked.

I scoffed, "Do you think I am here by choice? You think if I had the option to choose, I would be in this place? Funny joke."

"Stop trying to act coy. You are just interested in the things the king has to offer." Sasha argued.

I rolled my eyes.

Oh my gosh, here we go again.

It seems I would not stop running into people that thinks I am interested in taking their

love interest away from them even when I didn't show any signs of that.

This level of delusion was bordering on craziness.

I pointed at myself, "Me? How would I be interested in what the King has if this is the

first time I am meeting him? Use your brain sometimes, sister."

I wish I could crack her head open and remove the nonsense there.
