1027 Words
It's been a month since lali and her husband took me in .to be truthful her husband is just as nice as she is ,he took me like his younger sister . sometimes I got scared if lali will start suspecting something and drive me out ,but it's turn as she is just as lovely as she was
Lali and her husband owns a bakery where they produce bread and sell in large quantities .life here as been easier than I thought ..
I was lay on my bed thought about what my life could have been if not for that night .when lali came in
"Are you okay"she asked "
"Just tired after delivery the bread "
"You can rest now .I'm going to another town to get some ingredients .I can get you something if you want "
"Not really I'm fine"
With that she left the room
The sun was already up by the time I got out of my room.the compound was quiet and peaceful as always .I went back to the barkery to see if lali was there or her husband.. when I go there i saw her husband doing some clean up .I greeted him, and he offer me a seat .
"How are you feeling today "
"I'm fine.just a little bit weak" I replied
He nod his head and look at me with pity
"So when are you letting the king know of your pregnancy"
"I haven't thought of that ". I replied
"You know you need to let him know,he has a right to know this "
"He really hates me ,my last encounter with him wasn't pleasant .I don't want him to think I'm a gold digger "
"How can you think he will see you as a gold digger ".he was drunk so were you .it's nobody's fault.he has to know about this child ..a Royal child can't be born in a place like this "
"What's if he kills me ". I replied back .
"I know lord Kia might be a cold king but I know it isn't heartless to kill an innocent soul like you "
His words sank deep to me .indeed there is truth in it .the king had to know but how will I have the courage to do it
I left the room and went back to the kitchen so I can prepare dinner before lali comes back
After we finished dinner ..I retire to my rome .I have been feeling weak laterly and I don't think it's normal ..I will have to talk this with lali tomorrow
As I lay on my bed I began to think what I would have been doing in the palace if not for that night .and to think the king's can't remember any thing from it .maybe lali husband was right ,the king needs to know the truth ,even if he doesn't accept this baby at least I should fufill all righteousness and let him know ..with that ,my spirit will be at rest .after that her allow the darkness in my eyes to cover me
Emperor Kia provs
"Any news about her?",I demanded
"Nothing new my lord "
"Get out ". I shouted
It's been a month and I haven't gotten any thing positive about her ..I feel like there is something she was hiding from me ..i can't bring myself to believe what the empress says about her leaving the palace because of a lover ,it's just doesn't sound well to me .she had a secrect which she must tell
"Greetings emperor"
I turn around and saw queen kalika walking into my chambers with a frown on her face
"I can't believe you are still in search of that slave"
"She is not a slave" I shouted
"But but my king "
"Get out" I shouted
She looks at me with shock but quickly left when she saw how angry I was
She was right,why am I still looking for this maiden .I need to stop this now
"Get me some wine" I demanded
The wine was brought in .maybe if I get drunk i will stop thinking about this maiden
I took a cup of the win and drank it all ..it's still taste the same .I took another cup and took another cup till I was now in four cups, when suddenly something flash in my eyes like a vision. but it wasn't clear
I took another cup and drank another again until I feel myself being drunk .with the last strength in me I moved to the bed and lay on it
I closed my eyes and allow the darkness to cover me ,when suddenly I saw that vision again ,but this time it was clear
I saw Melani laughing ridiculously with me .both of us were so drunk ,I saw that she was pointing at something while we both laugh
"You are now naked my king"she pointed at my down below and was laughing ridiculously
Oh am I " .I replied nonchalantly
We both laughed and continue drinking
After that vision I came back to my senses .I was now sweating, even when the weather was cold .what's the meaning of what I saw ?
Did Melani also got drunk that night
And why was I naked with just my underwear on
And what happened after then
Only melanin can answer these questions ..only she and nobody else.i need to find her at any cause..maybe there was more to just the vomit she claimed .and why did she lied that I vomited and slept off , while this memories says otherwise .how dare she lied to me of all people .I will catch her and she must pay for lying to me .
"Guards"I called out
"Yes my king "
"Find me Melani , find her at any cost and bring her to me .search every village ,town and city .make sure you search everywhere ,she can't be far from here.she is somewhere close and is hiding from me .I give you men three days .three days to find her or consider yourselves and families dead
