Chosen By The King Of Aberdeen

Episode 4

"What did you just say?" Khalid got up from his seat and tottered towards him.

"She rejected your gifts, Your highness" a sad smile cracked up on his cheeks, he tilts his head because this lady doesn't even know what's coming for her.

"You can leave, I don't want anyone to come in here for the next 30 minutes" he ordered, folding his arms behind his back as he begin to pace to and fro in his study.

He needed to talk to his sister because he knew very clearly that Naomi isn't from a rich background, she looks poor, it was so obvious but he didn't want to judge just yet.

"Your Highness?" Princess Daisy teased on the call, she was looking for a bright place to put her phone since it was face time.

"Don't tease me right now" he massaged his forehead, rubbing his thighs with the other hand.

"I'm not, aren't you your highness?" She asked, he nodded in agreement.

"You don't call unless you have something to say, come forward with anything, your beautiful sister is all ears" she attacked him and she was totally right.

"That's not my fault, it's about mom" he looked around, of course, no one was checking on him but he still doesn't want to be careless.

"About getting a wife?, I'm totally in support of any thing she says to you on that, you're not getting younger and you definitely need a woman by your side" she rasped impatiently, he just stared blankly at the camera.

"It's not that and it's that, I found the lady I want to marry, I mean, I would love to make her my queen b…

"Oh my, Thank God, I'm so happy for you, finally you can stop being the King of bachelor's" she laughed but he wasn't even moved.

"But she's poor, she comes from a poor background" he uttered, biting his lower lips.

"That's not a big deal, we can make them Rich" Khalid didn't know when a big smile curved up on his lips.

"I didn't think to this length, mom would agree to this at least" he mumbled and felt like jumping.

"You don't look like a king…

"When talking to my families, I don't want to look like one" he retorted instantly, Daisy could only help but grinned at his words, it was kinda reasonable.

"Your niece is awake, I have to tend to her" Daisy waved at the camera and ended the call.

…

"I want to talk to you, do you think I'll be here if it's not that?" Rosy, Naomi's ex friend muttered angrily in front of her door.

"I don't think I'm ready to talk to you, just leave, please" Naomi said from inside, dropping her bag on the spread mat by the side of her bed.

"Whatever!" Rosy snorted and stormed away.

Shouldn't you have taken the king's gift?- her subconscious slammed through her mind as she leaned over the bed with both hands folded under her chin.

"I really want to take it, his behavior and the people's attention on her made me reject it" she rasped out loudly as if she was frustrated about something.

Instead of yelling, can't you just come clean that you're annoyed at yourself for not taking his gifts?- this was right on point as she was stuck on what to say.

"Whatever" this was actually her first time to say this to this kind of arguments, guess she copied her friend.

Naomi got up from where she sat as her stomach wouldn't stop grumbling, she had less things to eat and can only eat something okay if she goes out, a part of her thinks there are people waiting outside her door which makes her so scared to step out.

"I'm…hungry" she scrunched her face as she whined, her legs were making its way to the door, she stopped halfway.

"No, No, No" she shook her head, trying to caution herself from going outside, it was as if a spell was casted on her because she didn't even know how her right hand was already on the door handle, ready to push it to the front.

"Why were you in such a big car earlier?" Two girls rushed towards her, she bulged her eyes and was shocked to see herself outside of her room.

"I passed out in the school and…

"Do you think we wanna hear lies from you?" They glared at her and stepped closer to her.

"I'm not lying!" She retorted bluntly, everyone around were surprised at the way she talked back at the girls, she was also shocked at what came out of her mouth.

Please keep quiet, I don't want to get on their bad side!- she thought to herself, she doesn't know why she's acting so brave all of a sudden.

"Wow, you've grown some wings, of course you should, now that you're riding in a rich man's car" they cackled loudly, some joined them.

"I have to go get something's" she ignored them and was about to walk away when suddenly the two girls grabbed her long hair which pulled her back at them.

"What's going on over there??" The husky voice made them to hurriedly let go of her.

"3 hours is what I gave you if could remember" Khalid who was getting ready to shower before eating dinner said as he tied a white towel around his waist, his abs and manly pack was clearly shown at the people in his room.

"We got held up at the girls hostel…

"For?" He arched his brows and took his seat on the bed, crossing his legs on the other.

"The lady…Her name is Naomi, she's the top of her final year class and the best student in the school, she's also apart of the Royal Scholarship's Student"

"What??" Khalid blurted out in disbelief, his brows raised a little as he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"We were going through her files in the school and we found where she stays, so we went there and saw this" he brought out his tablet and bow a little as he handed it over to Khalid.

He was in a hurry so he didn't bother wasting time to play the video, his jaw was dropped at the sight he was witnessing.

"How could girls be like this?, Bullying another girl?" His body wasn't balanced as he felt so annoyed just by watching it.

"We warned the two girls to stay away from her and made them sign a refraining letter b..

"That's not enough, I want them expelled from the school, for bullying my Queen, Right Now!!" He ordered in a very angry tone, the guards stared at each other on hearing the word Queen and bowed after handing him her full details.

"She likes what I hate, I like what she hates…guess I'll be changing my taste, for her" he tilts his head, he's fallen deep into love.

Once he confirmed where her parents stays, he picked his phone and dialed the line that links to all his personal guards.

"Tommorow morning, we'll be leaving for Stacy Town" he ordered and dropped his phone on the nightstand before leaving for the bathroom.

"You should all leave, I'll call if I need anyone" he rasped as he swiveled back at the maids.

"What did you say he talked about?" Khalid's mom, Liana was busy getting her skincare when one of the maids attending to him came to her.

"I…" the lady looked around to check if what she came to tell her could be said in front of others.

"All of you, leave!" Liana ordered, brought her legs down from the table and turned to her.

"His highness and his guards were talking about a lady…Na…Naomi is her name" she stuttered a little.

"His Highness also said something about Queen and he watched a video of where the lady was bullied so he asked for the bullies to be expelled"

"What?, Khla…. Khalid did that?, Are the bullies from Aberdeen Arts School?" She asked curiously, because that's the only school that they have high authorities on.

"Yes, The Naomi is the top student in The school and Also a part of the Royal Scholarship's Students" Liana's hands fall to her side the moment she realizes the Naomi they were talking about.
