Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

“What the hell is this?”Royalty screamed.

“She’s almost close to the truth, but”Tessa uttered, rubbing her forehead.

“We aren’t safe anymore” Princess Promise uttered.

“Justin won’t you say something”Queen Kelly panicked.

“We just have to be careful, thank God I didn’t drink that horrible thing”king Justin uttered softly.

Tessa looked at her father, as a single tear rolled down her cheek.

“He’s pained, I will get you out of this father”Tessa thought, moving a gaze away from him.

“But who could have sent her here, Emery, has been working for this castle for the past two years. Not knowing she’s a spy.”Tessa uttered, crossing her hand on her chest.

“How I wish she didn’t die, I will have given her to the villagers, they will have decided her fate”Royalty uttered, in fury.

“She died without giving us a clue, we don’t know which King she’s talking about.”Fiona added, with a pout

“Someone should list the names of the father’s friends that are very close to him “Tessa asked.

“King Peterson from the Amaranth Kingdom.

King Varaganisa from the Samantha Kingdom.

King Todd from the Sorta Kingdom.

King Ryui from the Bawana Kingdom.

King Nathaniel from the Greendale Kingdom.

And lastly

King Soopers from the Night Might Kingdom. “Promise listed them all.

“I suspect varaganisa”Queen Sabrina uttered, taking a seat.

“Same here Mom”Royalty uttered.

“I don’t like that King one bit, always after bad things..”Fiona added.

“Tessa, you aren’t saying anything”King Nathaniel asked.

“An trying to digest their whole attitude along with their personalities.”Tessa uttered softly, pacing to and fro the throne room slowly.

“King Todd from the Sorta Kingdom has been ill for the past one month, that’s why he couldn’t come for meetings.”King Justin uttered, resting his head.

“We don’t care if a king dies or lives, all we the sisters want is for peace to reign in this kingdom “Royalty uttered, angrily.

Tessa was about to say something, when the guards pushed Mrs Claire in.

“What’s all this?”Queen Lola growled loudly.

“What’s she doing here?”Queen Kelly yelled at the guards.

“She was trying to escape. “The guard replied and walked out.

Physician Rana studied her face for a while.

“You remove your pregnancy,”she asked.

“Yes, I removed it because I’m tired of this world. I only wanted to be a queen.”she cried.

“A queen,”Queen Sabrina asked.

“Yes, that’s why I got close to the King, but princess Tessa managed to figure it out”Mrs Claire uttered with a gritting teeth.

“That’s why you remove the pregnancy”Tessa asked as tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Am here, someone who can’t give birth again. And you, you got the chance to be one, but you misused it. “Tessa cried.

“Since you said you are tired of this world, I would like to give you a slow and painful death.”Tessa uttered, picking up the cup of tea Emery served the King earlier.

“Here, have a cup of tea before dying”

“Oh heavens, when was the last time I had a cup of tea?”Mrs Claire uttered, without thinking twice while drinking the remaining.

“Fool of the highest order”Royalty laughed, forgetting her worries.

“You are free to go wherever you want”Tessa uttered with a painful smile.

“OMG, thank you so much princess Tessa, at first I hated you after what you did to me. But after freeing me, I am forever grateful to you, let me pray for you”Mrs Claire uttered.

“There’s no need for that, keep your prayers.”Tessa uttered, sitting on the cushion.

” Make sure you enjoy a cool breeze where you are going. Have external and internal rest” Royalty uttered, hiding her laughter.

“I will be my princess,”Mrs Claire yelled in reply.

“Why did you do what you did?”Fiona questioned.

“She said she wants to rest, she’s tired of this world. “Tessa replied coldly.

“Back to the previous case, varaganisa is close to highness, am sure he’s the one behind it”Queen Lola uttered.

“I strongly believe”Queen Sabrina supported.

“These are the mistakes you all do make”Tessa uttered, sitting up.

“I have been doing my investigation secretly for the past five months now. Yet I haven’t gotten a clue. That man is very secretive”Tessa uttered, gritting her teeth.

“Did you approach him?”King Justin panicked.

“I didn’t father, you all know I have my ways in getting what I want and need.”Tessa uttered.

“So to crown it all, my suspects are King Varaganisa, King Soopers and King Peterson.”Tessa uttered.

Everyone sighed heavily, letting their head drop.

King Nathaniel was mesmerized by her intelligence, bravery despite the fact that she was in pain. She didn’t let that bring down her self esteem.

“Physician Rana”Tessa called.

“Her Majesty” she greeted.

“Can you give details of how I was poisoned, to the extent that Emery left no traces, to the extent that Fiona here had no idea about”Tessa asked, shedding tears. King Nathaniel rushed to her, petting her softly.

(Sniffled) “I still can’t believe I am wombless.”Tessa cried, side hugging Nathaniel from where she was sitting.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

(Clears throat)”The poison is the scariest poison in our kingdom, but very easy to find in Samantha Kingdom and that’s from King Varaganisa’s Kingdom.

Murmuring filled the throne room. But physician Rana continued her words,

” The name of this poison is called Black Seed, to make this type of poison drinkable in many ways.

*It can be prepared from the beginning of the food or liquid.

*It can be grinded, after getting the powder form, Some mix it with water while some don’t. But Emery mixes it with a drop of water and rubs it around the inner mug. After getting dried it becomes a wax, almost close to a dried glue. The moment Fiona poured hot water in the mug it melted immediately, that was how our princess was poisoned.”Rana ended her words with a sad sigh.

“I don’t like the way everyone is pitying me. You all are making me feel weak.”Tessa screamed, running out of the throne room in tears.

“Tessa!, Tessa!, Tessa!”King Nathaniel called, running after her.
