"Madam, are you done? Let's head outside. I have a bad feeling about this place," Athena whispered as the queen and Khaleesi left the secret passage."Thank you, lady Khaleesi.""Do not come back here, lady Scheriziel. This place is not suited for a queen like you. I will come to find you at the right time."The lady disappeared after a cloud of smoke appeared, leaving the maid and the queen in utter shock.Athena ran outside but came back to drag the astounded queen outside the peculiar shop."I-I can't believe it, madam. Isn't that-""Ssshhh... keep this thing between us.""Madam, you knew she was a sorcerer?" Athena whispered, careful not to spill the word shall not be pronounced in the empire."No. I have no idea. Anyway, let's buy something before heading back to the palace."The queen had bumped into a tall guy, so she lifted her face to say sorry, but to her surprise, it was the Duke."Oh! Greeting, your majesty. It's been a while, your ladyship.""Stop doing that. You're cal
I became the king's obsession 42: Pay the price.
The king greeted his queen, looking like a dog who was about to bite its owner. He was impatient, standing outside the carriage as he ordered the marquises to open the carriage."Greetings, your excellency," says Aileen as she lowers her head. The maid also bowed her head and stood behind her ladyship."Follow me," says Viishaun in a baritone voice as he glared at the sight of his wife.The queen swallowed the lump in her throat and glanced at her maid and other servants, who lowered their gaze. The servant knew their queen was in trouble since the King looked like he was about to erupt.Viishaun locked the door as soon as they entered their bed chamber. He said, "I thought you brought the market. You've been half a day in the market. So, where are the things you've brought?""W-well... I-""I know. I should have known you'll be seeing that guy behind my back. You've got the gal to cheat on me, huh?""Aren't you concluding things too far? First, I happened to bump into Duke, and we ha
I became the king's obsession 43: Let's go shopping.
"Madam, is his excellency still mad?" says Athena while brushing the hair of his ladyship."I don't think so." The queen stared at her reflection and recalled his excellency's touches. She suddenly asked her maid, "Is it true that nobles, aristocrats and royal couples have to fulfill their marital duty?""Mostly yes, madam. Having an heir is the crucial part of marrying into another family.""Even if they don't love each other?""Sadly, most marriages were bound by political gains. Whereas, having an heir is a tool for securing one's position in this society. Why'd you ask, madam?""N-nothing. I had read a novel about a guy who made love with his wife even though he doesn't love her," says Aileen. She removed her wishful thinking that the king must have feelings for her since he initiated that thing that happened last night, but it turned out it must be a simple marital duty for him.'If it was 'Shaun' I would have believed that thing happened because of love. However, it's King Viish
I became the king's obsession 44: Perfect woman.
Inside the carriage, the king and queen were silently riding. Meanwhile, Athena was left in the castle since King Viishaun brought five marquises who'll also serve as chaffers for their shopping.Viishaun cleared his throat and glanced at his wife, who was busy staring blankly outside. She looked like her mind was swimming with thoughts to which he had no gist of it."If you're thinking about secretly meeting that red guy duke, you better stop looking for an excuse because I'll keep my eyes on you until we arrive home. You better behave like a perfect wife."The queen sighed and felt sad because this guy still accused her of seeing another man when she proved through her body that Shaun owned her. She lowered her head and fidgetted her finger while staring at the carpeted floor of the carriage. She wanted to hear Shaun's kind words, but it would be a selfish thing to do. They're going to a public place, and Shaun will obviously act overly sweet to her in public. If that happens, Viis

"You need a new set of jewelry to pair your new set of gowns, my love.""O-ok," Aileen replied in an awkward tone as they entered.Everything is sparkling, but one thing caught Aileen's attention. It was a brooch with Blue zircon and paired with a ring of the same brilliant blue gemstone."Look at this. Isn't it beautiful, just like your eyes?" Aileen showed the brooch and ring in her hand.The king blushed and cleared his throat. He suddenly uttered, "My love, you're complimenting me too much."Viishaun noticed a rare gem in the display. He pointed his finger at a choker embedded with moonstone. Aileen was amazed by the size of the gemstone embedded in the neck accessories. "You have a keen eye for a rare beauty, sire. There are only very few gemstones that are primarily gray in color. However, because of this very rare, gray gemstones are actually very intriguing when crafted into jewelry. This one is a moonstone, the most well-known and sought-after class of gray gem, and one must

The two marquises who went into another alley came running but found out that the king had killed the man they were chasing. The other two who had been with the king throughout the chase warned their fellow. They are gesturing that the king was not in his best mood."Your excellency, please forgive us for not catching up fast." They knelt the marquise's way."You should be begging for your life. I could have tossed your head for this incompetence. What if I didn't catch this pest on time? You almost put my wife in potential as well.""We apologize for our incompetence, your excellency.""I have no time to deal with you and this dirt. You two are under probation, and as punishment, you have to run 100 lapses every day and 200 sword drills every day.""Very much obliged to follow your order, your excellency." "Your excellency, what should we do with the body?""Feed him to shark or burn him. I don't care. Just get rid of that pest. Also, get rid of this cape and vest. The queen hates t

The queen was having a good tea time alone while watching the fish in the pond. Then all of a sudden, Athena arrived with a cart of cookies and slices of cake."Come, join me over a cup of tea, Athena." The queen smiled and pointed to the chair opposite hers."Madam, I can't, the maids are already jealous of how you were treating me."The queen sighed and did not force her to wish to casually talk with her favorite maid. If she were to keep openly showing her favoritism, the daughter of other nobles, who were working as reserved lady-in-waiting would throw a fit at Athena."I see. Shopping with the king made a positive impact. Shouldn't you go out with the king more often?" Athena asked while pouring another cup of tea for her ladyship."Well, I am not allowed to leave again.""Aren't you lonely here, madam?" says Athena. Little did they know the King happened to sleep in one of the huge trees nearby where the queen and maid were. He did not want to eavesdrop, but his body wouldn't m

"Madam, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be preparing for your trip?" Aileen asked, following the queen while holding a basket of tencha, a green leaf that has not been powderized yet."I'm making tea for the king," she replied."Good morning, Queen Schereziel.""Morning. Can someone powderize these leaves? I want to make tea for the king using those leaves.""I'm afraid to inform you, but his excellency hates green tea," says one of the cooks. "Is that so?" The queen had no idea that Viishaun hated it since green tea had never been served on the table. Now, she has an idea why such flavor is never served. "The king was furious when we served him a green tea once. He warned us not to serve him such poisonous beverage."'Poisonous? Tsk! Uncultured swine,' says a voice in Aileen's thought. "Then... we'll drink it then. I miss drinking matcha coffee. Ever since I came here, I haven't had it again. Now, I miss my convenient life... there are no starb*cks here."Everyone thought that t
