Chapter 5

The feeling I was having wasn't a normal feeling, my belly grumble so hard and my temperature was getting high, my eyes spinned I wasn't in the right state of mind.

"My queen I hope you will be fine, you don't look good at all" she said worriedly as she took off my gown and shoes as she covered me with a thick duvet.

I was shivering so hard but yet still I was sweating from the duvet I was covered with.

"My Queen, your temperature is really running high, this duvet won't work. I will just call a doctor for you" she said about taking off the duvet.

"No..no leave it, I am cold and don't bother calling a doctor I will be fine after having a good rest"

I wasn't just sure of how fast I would recover from the cold and all but I don't want to be examined by a doctor.

"If you insist my queen, I will go make green tea for you. It might help you feel better and warm" she bowed and made out of the room.

I was sweating but still cold. I was shivering in bed as the door opened revealing the beautiful queen Lula. I wasn't seeing clearly because I was already blacking out.

She walked up to me in a smile holding her gown up, she gently sat by my side as she caressed my hair softly.

"Maybe you're reacting to the new environment I understand, you should really try to be strong because King Archer doesn't care if you are sick or not if he wants you he expects you to be ready to welcome him"

She said looking at the air, She is so beautiful but thin that her neck bone could preserve water.

Her jewelry is pure emerald so expensive that I wondered why she would wear it in the castle instead of wearing something simple and cheap.

She turned to me as she scanned down my body watching me shiver, she gently pulled the duvet off and faced the air again as if she was conversing with the air.

"You don't need the duvet, it's better you get cold and your temperature calms down than you remaining the same and sweating" she signed as she tucked her hair strands behind her ear "You know?… Queen Zinnia doesn't like you and none of the queens like you, I don't like you either but I am not a heartless person I would still help you because I know that you were giving to the king because your parents owed his father, it wasn't your choice being here and that's why I will help you in some way"

Why will they all hate me for a reason best known to them? How will I live in a castle where I am not accepted and loved. I am basically a loner here.

"We all know that you're the youngest of all queens here and by what I see, you're still innocent and have never been touched, the king's attention will definitely be drifted to you soon and that makes us hate you more, the king loves fresh bloods and after using you and getting tired he will dump you and get married to another woman"

That caught my attention as I tried my best to sit up and understand her better.

"Yes Pearl, that's King Archer for you, we were all once the King's choice but now he even sleeps with the servants instead of us… That's the kind of man you got married to, he is a sex addict and can never get enough of sex but still he would warn us all never to get pregnant!" She Muttered as she traced her fingers through her gown.

What she was telling me was getting me scared! How could he be so cruel to even his wives?Why is he such a beast? How will a man tell his wives not to get pregnant but yet he sleeps with them all the time!.

"How possible Is it for you all to sleep with the king and not get pregnant and why doesn't the king need a child to heir the throne after him"

The smile on her face wasn't usual, I could tell that there was a lot for me to know about being the king's wife.

"The King sends doctors to us every 7 days to give us medicines to avoid pregnancy and he also promised to kill anyone that gets pregnant for him" She said as I choked in my breath, that was a lot!.

"And for the heir to the throne, I don't know what to say about that. But one thing is sure, the king is still full of life and hasn't gotten enough women he wants… Don't just expect a sweet loving husband in King Archer, He doesn't love anyone not even himself if I must say" she said and stood up.

I still had a lot to ask her but with the look on her face she wasn't going to reply to me.

"I think I have said enough to you, just don't cross my path and any of the Queen's paths especially Zinnia, Zinnia is a leopard that wouldn't mind using her claws on you… Have a nice rest"

She left, leaving me to drown in my own thoughts.

How could I possibly go through all this? I can bet that the Queen's are not happily married and they don't love each other which makes the situation worse.

How can a human born out of the womb of a woman be so heartless, how will he be married to five wives and still go ahead to sleep with his servants! That is so cruel of him and still he would warn them not to get pregnant.

Only King Archer does that because no normal man married to beautiful women will have the mind to sleep with another woman not legally married to him.

"Here is your tea my queen…" Sage said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I looked at the appetizing tea as my eyes drifted down at her, how sure am I that the King hasn't slept with her countless times, I mean… This girl in front of me is beautiful, every man's spec I must say so I am sure the ladies man has definitely slept with her.

I can't just imagine myself in that shoe!, That wasn't the kind of life I wished for myself, I always wished for a happily ever after but here I am!.

The ladies man and my parents ruined my dreams, they snapped it away in just a second. I would have just died from the coma instead of facing this.

I sipped from the richly made hot green tea as I smiled loving the taste.

"You made this?" I asked as she nodded in a bright smile obviously impressed with herself "It's delicious, hope you don't mind teaching me how you do it someday?" I teased as she looked up at me giving me a clear view of her green clear eyes and quickly faced back down.

"I would really love to teach you my queen but it's not allowed for royalty to go to the kitchen, I am glad you love my tea no one has ever commented on it before" she blushed hard forcing me to smile.

I wanted to ask her about the part of royalty not going to the kitchen but I just let it pass.

"I can see that the queen is gradually getting better"

" Yes I am, thanks for your concern sage but I'd really appreciate you looking into my face if you're talking to me at least if we are alone in my room… Please be free with me" I said as she bowed and slowly raised her head up.

I could tell how hard it was for her to look into my face but she finally did let me view her pretty round face well.

"Come sit by my side, let's talk," I said, tapping the side of the bed.

"No no my queen it's wrong to sit with you, I would be punished if I am found sitting by your side my queen, I am only here to serve you" she pleaded in a bow.

I could see the fear in her face, how strict the royal rules are, they basically treat commoners as trash and that's getting me mad.

I needed someone to talk to and share ideas with as my friends are far from me, I am not even sure of seeing them again.

"Please don't insist my queen, I am comfortable standing here" she pleaded again as if she knew that I was going to insist.

"Okay fine, why don't you sit on the couch that would be better, I don't feel comfortable seeing you standing watching me drink my coffee" I said pointing at the blue couch as she shook her head.

"My queen, I would rather turn and face the wall please," she said as I snapped at her.

"Never mind, just do exactly what you want" I signed in frustration as I gulped down the whole tea as she looked at me in surprise… What was that for?

"My queen, you'd like to take your tea slowly in order not to hurt your throat, you know your wedding with the king is tomorrow and you need to be in your best health" She said as my mouth fell in shock.

"Tomorrow!!" I yelled as she raised her brows at me.

"Don't you know about it?" She asked, looking confused.

" Oh yeah I definitely know… Thanks for the tea, I need to be alone" I said as I lay back on the bed facing the ceiling.

I didn't expect the wedding to be so fast, gosh!, I don't think my mind is prepared for this.
