The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"King Ricard, do you take this lovely lady by your side as your wife and partner?" The lady officiating the wedding said.

"Yes, I will take Sophia as my partner and wife." King Ricard said.

I have stayed in this underwater empire for a while. Still, I didn't know the king's name. This was the first time I was hearing his name.

After getting the King's answer, the lady officiating the wedding turned to me.

She asked, "Miss Sophia, do you accept King Ricard as your husband and partner?"

I didn't say anything. My lips just twitched.

"Miss Sophia, will you take King Ricard as your husband and partner?" The officiating lady repeated.

Unfortunately, my stance still remained the same. I kept my mouth closed. Murmurs came from the spectating crowd.

"Sophia, stop misbehaving." The king whispered.

The smile on his face reduced a little.

I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes, "Let me go. If I leave, you won't have to deal with my misbehavior anymore. You can have any woman you want, don't die on my hill."

He thought he was smart.

The smile on the King's face faded away completely.

I didn't have anything that the king could threaten me with and I was grateful for that.

He didn't know my history so his hands were tied in this situation.

"I think the sickness from earlier is affecting Miss Sophia. I would say the vows on her behalf." Catherine said.

My eyes widened in shock.

This was the first time I heard something like this.

Why would she say wedding vows in place of someone else? Was that really possible?

I looked at the king pointedly.

I expected him to refuse. He was a mighty King. People like him would want true submission, not some counterfeit.

He did not act like I had imagined. He didn't say anything.

It was clear that he was ready to go with Catherine's suggestion.

"That's fine." He finally replied.

A bout of dizziness hit me.

What?

Nothing was fine in this situation!

"Miss Sophia, do you take King Ricard as your partner and husband in joy, sorrow and

any other circumstance?" The officiating woman asked.

"Miss Sophia is happy to take King Ricard as her lawful husband and partner." Catherine said.

After the exchange of vows was complete, the crowd around us started to clap.

The applause was loud. My face was stuck with a frown.

This wasn't what I expected when I refused to say those vows.

Suddenly, a guard rushed into the venue. The king turned to him with a cold look.

"What is it? Whatever you are here for must be important." The King said.

"My King, this matter is very important. Visitors from the surface have arrived and their intentions doesn't look good." The guard replied.

The king;s brows formed a frown, "If their intentions aren't good, why don't you expell them? Do you need me to tell you something like that?"

"My King, we can't expel them. These people are very strong." The guard replied.

"King Ricard, congratulations on this auspicious day." A strange voice sounded.

Everyone's attention turned to the source of the voice. The voice came from a man that

was swimming towards the venue in a leisurely pace.

After getting closer to the raised platform, he looked at King Ricard.

King Ricard's eyes were cold.

If his eyes could kill, this new arrival would have been frozen solid.

"What does this guest from the surface want with our underwater empire?" King Ricard asked.

"Well, we are not trying to destroy your auspicious day or trying to attack your empire. We are just looking for a person, a lady to be exact." The new arrival said, "By the way, my name is Jonathan."

I observed Jonathan discreetly. This guy was obviously powerful. When Maddox brought me into the ocean, he had to give me a blue pearl to help with breathing underwater.

From the look of things, I don't think any of the merfolk here would provide Jonathan with a blue pearl. He was breathing, swimming and talking underwater without any help. This was a very obvious symbol of his strength.

Who is the lady Jonathan is looking for?

Nobody knows if that particular lady had been kidnapped by King Ricard. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

King Ricard might be powerful but he was licentious too.

A bolt of envy struck my heart. For a very brief moment, I wish I was the lady Jonathan was searching for.

I wanted to leave this underwater empire badly.

King Ricard was crazy.

A vein pushed the skin on King Ricard's forehead.

He looked like he was trying so hard to keep himself from lashing out.

The king looked at Jonathan calmly, "Who is this lady you are looking for? What's her

name? Is there any pictures or drawings with her appearance?"

"I always knew the king of this huge underwater empire would be trustworthy and efficient. You are asking all the right questions. So, the name of the lady I am looking for is called Edna." Jonathan responded.

My mouth dropped open. I knew I didn't hear the wrong thing. Jonathan wasn't

repeating himself.

He was looking for someone called Edna. My heart started beating wildly.

There were many implications to the name Jonathan mentioned.noveldrama

Firstly, Jonathan might be part of Killian's people. Secondly, Jonathan might be the subordinate of Madam Tayo and the other two organizations that were chasing me.

I didn't consider if Jonathan was part of the human faction. It wasn't possible. Jonathan was too powerful. His momentum was strong. The humans can't control that kind of power in a short time.

Besides, most of those humans were stuck in the spaceship above this planet. I don't think humans have what would make an alien like Jonathan bow his head.

The humans can't send someone to save me. They don't have the ability to do that. Besides, they don't know my current location.

Jonathan didn't have a frown on his face. He didn't exude malicious aura. There was a very high chance that he wasn't looking for Edna to capture her or kill her.

After eliminating all other options, the only choice has to be the truth. Even if it wasn't the truth, it had to be related somehow.

My eyes brightened.

I didn't let myself get too happy though. The Edna Jonathan was looking for might be

a different person.

King Ricard said, "I don't know anyone called Edna. That name doesn't ring a bell."

"Your majesty, don't be so quick to reply. You have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of citizens in this underwater empire. Someone with that name might be somewhere. Besides, I have a picture that would help in narrowing the search range." Jonathan said.
