Chapter 38
I appeared in king archer’s chamber, I was shocked by the fastness of everything, what if their was someone in here at the moment… Or did she foresee before bringing me here?.
I turned to my right to see King Archer’s back, he seemed so lost in thought, I missed him so much that I just wanted to hug him so tight and never leave his side.
“And what is my king thinking about?” I said, I could see the hesitation before he turned, he looked genuinely surprised to see me.
His hazel eyes scanned me from head to toe in shock, he looked more handsome than before just that his hair was unkept, his hazel eyes traveled back to my face as our eyes met.
Has he been crying?, I have never seen him cry before!.
“Why are you crying Archer?” I asked as I wiped his rolling tears off, I don’t just know what gave me the mind to do that but he looked so frustrated and stressed out and that hurt me so much.
Suddenly he pulled me into a tight hug letting me know that he genuinely missed me, he caressed my dirty unkept hair as he pecked it and pulled me out of his grip.
“I thought you were dead Pearl, how did you get in?” He asked in a cracky voice, he thought I was dead?, What made him think that far.
“It’s a long…” I tried saying as he pulled me into a long deep kiss that I didn’t expect, never knew king archer would miss me this much.
“Not to worry, save the story for next time, you really need a good treatment and care right now and this time I am giving it to you” he said as his eyes drifted down to my belly bump “and I need to say hello to the future ruler of Guham” he said as he bent and kissed my bump making my body tickle.
“And what if it isn’t a boy?” I asked with a slight smile on my lips.
“Then she will rule, after all laws were made by man and not God so I am free to break them” he replied making me blush more as I caressed his dark over grown hair.
“You look so unhealthy pearl, how bad did Theodore treat you!?” He yelled angrily as he pulled off the garment I wore revealing my naked body.
“What happened to your skin!, did he whip you?” He asked softly tracing his hands down my skin as I nodded to his question “I feel so disrespected, Theodore will definitely pay for the damage… And you lost much weight too, don’t worry I will fix all of this and you will be fine once again” he said in a cracky voice as if he wanted to cry.
He led me to the bathroom as he made me lay on the tub filled with warm water, I could tell that the water was supposed to be his.
“Why don’t you call a maid to help you bath me, you might not bath me clean enough and I also need the dye in my hair washed off”
“I can do all that for you pearl, this is my treat and I promise to take good care of you, you suffered innocently for me so I have to pay back in the best way I can” he said as he poured some liquid soap on my body, I stared into his focused beautiful eyes as Cressida’s words creeped into my head.
Did he sleep with a slut last night?, Will it be wise to ask him now?… Maybe I should just wait instead of ruining this peaceful moment.
After taking my bath he carried me in a bridal style and lay me on the bed as he searched for some of my clothes I left In his room, he looked so humble, he made me feel like I have missed a lot and indeed I have missed a whole lot.
“Before you put this dress on I will have to apply some oiltment in your wounds so that it can heal faster, just lay on your stomach.
Knowing that I can’t lay on my stomach, I happily lay by the corner of my stomach as he carefully applied the oiltment to my deep wounds, yes it hurts so much but he made my pains absorb into pleasure, I have missed his touch so much.
Yes he has never handled me with love and care before but I just needed to feel him around me and having him treat me like a lost and found princess was a whole joy on its own, he handled me like an egg as he made sure he caused me less pains.
“Hope it isn’t hurting you much?” He asked softly still running the oiltment around my back as I nodded.
“Please massage my lower back, it aches so much” I said as my belly grumbled, I have been avoiding this all this while and was dying of hunger, I didn’t just want him to leave my side cause I felt like I will be gone again.
“I am so sorry, you should have eaten before all this spa session” he signed as he made out of the room, for some reasons I was embarrassed by the loudness of the grumble but had to let it pass and get a very good meal into my hungry belly.
Soon Archer came in with maids coming from behind him, they looked so shocked to see me, yes no one except archer has seen me.
“Welcome back my queen!” They muttered with excitement written on their faces, knowing that I was really missed got butterflies into my belly.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Thank you, where is sage?” I asked with a smile on my lips as I watched them serve the meal on the side table.
“Sage is in the kitchen my queen, I can let her know that you’re back” the pretty maid that looked so familiar to me replied as I shook my head.
“Not to worry, I will see her later do not let anyone know that I am back” I warned as they excitedly bowed and left.
There is no way they are letting a gossip pass by, they sure will pass my return round.
I opened the plates to see various healthy dishes served on the plates, they served me more than enough as if they knew that I was ready to devour just anything, my eyes shone in confusion I was finding it hard to select a meal for myself.
I immediately took some bananas for a start, archer was staring closely at me expressionlessly was he staring at the scar close to my eyes caused by Ezra’s whip?, I wished I could read his mind just as Cressida does.
“I am so sorry that you had to go through a lot innocently, just look at what they did to you in less than a week!” He muttered as he tucked my now red hairs behind my ears, he had used the dye remover I showed him to wash it off and I could swear that he did a great job bathing me.
“Tell me the truth pearl, how did you get in here without anyone seeing you?” This time he was calm but looking closely at my eyes as if he could dictate when I lie.
Maybe I should just tell him at one’s, it isn’t much of a big deal Anyways.
“Uhm… I was helped by a witch, I mean… She said she is a witch” I could see the smirk on his face “And she helped me escape from Prussiate”
“Oh the witch helped you escape?, But why did you take much risk by jumping down from a very high castle?, What if you fell to the floor? You’d shatter you know?” I nodded as I pouted my lips.
“I just had to escape getting raped by King Theodore” I said as the memories of how he touch me came crawling back into my head.
“What!… Wait has he fvcked you before!?” I could see the clear anger on his face, I wasn’t in the mood for such conversations all I wanted was just to concentrate on my meal.
“Archer please can you allow me eat in peace?, I think I have exceeded my speech limits” I said and turned back to my food, his range heated up the room, I felt like he was going to burst at anytime.
“And now you call me Archer!?” He yelled angrily as I ignored him expecting the worst, he can never suddenly be a gentleman “oh, your silence speaks volumes… Theodore has definitely fucked you a million times and you liked it” he said in a clenched fist as he headed towards his chamber, his words hit me hard, how could he think of me so cheap!?, I have protected my body through out my stay in Prussiate just for his own interests and here he is accusing me falsely.
I angrily turned to the other end not wanting to see him as my eyes caught a red pantie lying on the floor!, I was right he fvcked a slut… I angrily picked the pantie raising it up in disgust.
“Just like you fvcked a slut last night and liked it!” I called back as he turned staring at the pantie in shock.
