Claimed

At first, Althea had to learn the etiquette in the palace. She needed to learn how to walk, how to talk, how to place her hands. how to breathe everything

All of these lessons were suffocating, Int at the same time, it gave her something to look forwant to. She had determined that she was going to do her best to be someone, who worth to be by Alex’s side and now, that was what she was going to do.

Albes booked at herself in the mirror when she was wearing a beutiful dress. This must be the most beautiful dress that the had ever worth.

Thalia gushed when she saw her reflection on the mirror, she was even more excited than her. “See I told you that the king pampered you so much, he must be deeply in love with you. You have to trust me in this”

Althea pursed her lips when she heard that, but she chuckled, while Jasmine stared at her with her curious big eyes.

Althea was wearing a beautiful purple gown that accentuated her body. She was still breastfeeding, which made her breasts were slightly bigger than usual, but she had lost most of her baby weight, which made her looked very desirable. She looked very beautiful to say the least

“Here, used this necklace,” Thalia said, as she opened the necklace box.

“I didn’t remember that I have this necklace.”

“You didn’t remember because the king just gave it to you a few hours ago, he said this will look beautiful on you.”

Thalia helped Althea to put the diamond necklace on her neck, which shone brightly, just like her.

“Oh, heaven! I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you!” Thalia kept praising Althea to the point, she blushed so hard and told her to stop

And when Thalia was having her fun to tease Althea, they sensed the king. He entered the room shortly after they could smell his scent. It was sandalwood with a hint of pine trees. He looked define in his regal cloak.

“Are you ready?” The king asked, as he extended his hand for her.

“Yes,” Althea replied, as she took his hand and then walked with him.

Tonight, there was a party, where Alex invited the other king from the other continent to discuss about a few businesses, but Alex intended for this party as a platform to introduce Althea, not immediately, but he would take her as his woman tonight.

The message would be very obvious to read that the king had found the candidate to be the future queen of this continent this also would be a message for his opponent that he couldn’t care less about their rejection toward his choice of mate

They could go and hit the sand for all he cared.

Tonight was exceptionally crowd in the party room. Althea held Alex’s hand tightly, as if she was afraid, she would be humiliated herself, as if the king was her lifeline, which made Alex chuckled to see how nervous she was.

“I really wanted to keep you in my pocket,” Alex said, he lowered his head and whispered to her ear, this gesture was very intimate and the king knew what he was doing.

Althea blushed when she felt his warm breath against her neck. She looked around and just like what she thought, the people secretly took notice of her and the king’s interaction.

“What is that mean?” Althea frowned, but the king simply laughed lightly, as he put his hand on her waist and introduced her to a few important people in this continent.

Chipers 47

In total there were four kingdoms in this continent, the mainland was the most proper place and Alex’s kingdom was the

best among the rest of the kingdoms

herefore, nobody dared to question him or make Althea felt uncomfortable despite how badly they wanted to know who man was, since the king only said her her name without giving any title on her, bait his action spoke louder than the word that he didn’t say

However, Althea felt like she was out of her element, she didn’t know what they were talking about, their discussion sounded very intelligent, as they were talking about territory, businesses and a few pacts between the kingdoms.

Those topics were something the couldn’t comprehend, since this was the first time for her to hear most of the terms that they used

She felt so stupid and small.

While Alex was talking with a few people, she would smile on cue, listening the conversation she couldn’t join in, neither she understood and in the end, she excused herself to get more drink. She felt so lost.

“You don’t seem to enjoy the party”

Althea startled when a beautiful woman approached her, she was wearing a beautiful red dress that fit her body perfectly. Her red Ipa smiled at her.

“Oh, I am just a little bit tired. Althea replied, she tried to remember this woman’s name, but she couldn’t recall, since Alex had introduced her to a lot of people and she stopped remembering their name after the twentieth something person

Oh night it will be not easy to take care of a baby while playing queen, right?”

Althea saw it immediately. This woman didn’t want to have a civil conversation, she wanted to put her down. She disliked the fact that she was the king’s woman now.

“May I know, who are you?” Althea asked, her voice was even and polite. She had faced something worse than this woman and someone like her was expected the moment she decided that she wanted to be with Alex.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The woman scoffed, but Althea was unfazed, she looked at her straight in the eyes, which made her felt a little bit. uncomfortable

“You must be too busy with your baby that’s why you forgot my name when I just introduced myself less than an hour ago.

“Or maybe, you simply not important enough to be remembered.”
