Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

The rays of the sun slipped through the small opening of her window. The scorching heat from the sun she doesn’t like. She rolls on her bed lazily. She consciously moved her hand slowly on the bed trying to lay her hand on something with her eye closed. she shift her body a little, thinking maybe she’s far from it, after all her stress of moving and moving of her body and hand, she finally opened her eyes lazily, her gaze came in contact of her personal maid and also her best friend Fiona.

“What the heck Fiona” Tessa startle in fear

“You aren’t supposed to be the eldest Tessa” Fiona said rising up the curtain

“Why”

“You act childish sometimes, most especially when you are around me” Fiona said sitting on the bed

“Am not Fiona, hold on why are with my phone”she asked staring at her the the corner of her eye

“I know that’s what you will pick first, so pick it before you can. I do wonder how you do it when you wake up the first thing you do is to login in and chat. Assuming you can’t speak. ” Fiona said as she held her hand in akimbo

“Here we go again. Give me my phone”Tessa said yanking it from her

She continued”Have you eaten Fiona” Tessa asked

“Am not expected to eat until my princess has first.”

“Hold is this the new rule”Tessa asked in shock

“Yes my princess”Fiona said with her head bow

“Issh. It’s Dad right” Tessa said putting a paste on her toothbrush

“Not at all, it’s mother maids” Fiona said

“Mrs Claire! ” Tessa exclaimed

“Yes, my princess. I don’t like her at all” Fiona pouted

“So what did you want me to do” she asked walking inside her multi dollars bathroom, having a blue bulb with a white painting on the wall with a touch of Barbie stickers

“They should change the lady, ever since she got that power and position, she acts bossy I prefer Mrs Evelyn”Fiona said with a long hiss

“Same here, I prefer Mrs Evelyn that idiot old fool” Tessa said with a loud hiss

“But hold on, she can’t set a rule without dad’s approval.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“King Justin approve of it Tessa”Fiona said

“What, did father actually approve of it”

“Yes Tessa. I actually do my findings myself” Fiona said deeping the dry mop into a soapy water

“Something is going on” Tessa said and halt all of the suddenly

“Between the King and Mrs Claire”Fiona halt all her movement looking at Tessa stupidly

“Trust me, Fiona. Something is going on between my father and Mrs Claire. Just last week my father appointed her as a palace maid. That same week father appointed her as mother’s maids, something is fishing Fiona.” Tessa said with a serious expression on her face

“That’s true and Mrs Evelyn, she has being working as a Head of the Royal maid for the past two years. She was brought in here as a slave two weeks after my arrival” Fiona said shaking her head

“But Mrs Claire was brought in her few months ago, and father approving those maid and maids rule isn’t his duty but the Queen’s including my mother, especially my mom” Tessa said with a little proudness

*Fiona clears her throat*

“Here we go again, mom’s daughter” fiona said

“Make it snappy, I am gonna destroy the Royal breakfast this morning. Because I can’t let Mrs Claire get that position, it’s cheating, Mrs Evelyn deserves it. “Tessa said with gritting teeth

“Yes, she can’t get it,”Fiona said with a little sound of happiness in her voice.

Someone bang into the room

“Princess no manners”Tessa called

“Good morning sister” Royalty screamed and hugged her

“And what’s good about the morning” Tessa asked

“Oh Fiona, what are you doing here, are you not supposed to be downstairs.” Royalty said with a bossy voice

“Heyyyyy” Tessa said, shaking her hand over face in order to catch her attention.

She continued”she’s my property, I have the right to control her, did you get that or not”Tessa yell at her

“Am Just asking princess Tessa”Royalty said with a little sadness in her voice

“Get out of my room Royalty”Tessa said pointing her index finger at the entrance

“It’s not up to that Tessa” Fiona said

“Please sister, I Just want to spend some time with you before moving down stairs”Royalty pleaded

“Just want you out for now, have told you several times not to speak ill of Fiona, didn’t I” Tessa yell feeling hurt

“You did, but—

Tessa cut her off”No but, just want you out of here”

“It’s fine, I will be out” Royalty said wiping her tears as she moved her legs out of Tessa’s blueish room.

There was total Silence in the room after Royalty’s departure.

“Are you fine Fiona”

“Yeah i’m perfectly good, and you”Fiona asked staring at her

“Am fine. I will like to take my leave”Fiona said

“Okay, I will dress up myself, don’t call the maids” Tessa said pulling off her pyjamas

“Okay”Fiona replied from the outside

*************

*Sobs slowly*

“What’s making shed tears my sweet princess” Lady Emily(King Justin younger sister) asked, raising Royalty up from the ground

“Aunt. It’s Tessa”Royalty wailed loudly

“What has Tessa done this time around”Lady Emily asked staring at her

“She sent me out of her room”royalty cried loudly

“So far I know Tessa she can’t send you out without a meaningful reason” Lady Emily said taking Tessa’s side

“I was only— Royalty cut herself off and ran away

“(Sciffs) What’s wrong with her” Lady Emily thought and walked away

(Lost in thought) what was that Royalty, you want to spill the beans. Oh heavens Lady Emily will have ordered for Fiona’s head, and Tessa” she paused

“She will hate me the most, in fact she won’t talk to me again. Oh heavens thank God I didn’t spill the beans, what will have become Fiona’s fate and mine”

A maid knocked on her door

“Princess Royalty the King summon you for breakfast down stairs” a maid yell from the outside

She picked the intercom and replied

“Am coming”
