My love, haven't you noticed that our love is waxing stronger but the time we spend together is limited? We need more time together my king. Not just in the office or few minutes after work but plenty time together as couple. I mean, it high time you make me your wife, Sophia chuckled.
We can't possibly continue like this, my king, she reiterated again. What do you want me to do Sophia? I'm also deeply in love with you, king replied. Send the queen away from the palace and then marry me your new wife and queen. I will like to move in into the palace. I am tired of living alone, my king, Sophia said as she hold the king on the sofa and started romancing him.
They held each other for some time. The king was no longer himself. He has been held captive by Sophia's black magic.
He thought he was in control but he was not. It was the black magic that was controlling the king now.
Yes, the queen must leave for my love, Sophia, to assume her rightful position besides me. I will send her away, then you can come and stay with me, the king concurred as they continue in their romantic exercises. When they paused from the romantic mood, Sophia also told the king her other needs.
My king I want you to buy a landed property with a building on it for me from Grand Construction Limited. The company have many properties for sales, Sophia stated.
That's not an issue, Sophia. Get the bill and let me know the price. It shall be taken care of, the King assured her. Oh! My king, thank you so much. I will get the necessary bill for the payment across to you.
Meanwhile, be preparing to move in with me unfailing next week, the king reassured her. I will pack my bags as I get to my residence today waiting for my relocation to the palace next week, sophia concurred. I can't wait to move in with you, my king, Sophia stated jubilating.
They had finished their romantic evening session and Sophia was about leaving the king's office when they heard a knock at the door. Sophia had to pretend she was doing some administrative work for the king and she was just leaving the office when Prince Richmond opened the door.
He didn't notice anything and since he never thought his father could be having any romantic relationship with any lady, talkless of his staff.
Good evening my Prince, Sophia greeted the Prince as she stepped out of king's office. Good evening Sophia. Thanks for helping the king. I can see other staff had left but you take your time to stay behind to help. Thanks for that, the Prince commended her. My Prince, I'm only doing my job, Sophia responded with a smile as she closed the door behind her.
She was happy that the Prince did not notice anything but she knew he would know when king finally send her mother away from the palace and make her the new queen. And by then the power will be in her hand and nobody can stop her from executing her other plans.
So she escaped the Prince that evening and she was waiting for King to execute her instructions.
Back in king's mansion, the king's behaviour towards his queen suddenly changed. He became aggressive towards the queen on his arrival from office that evening. His response to her welcome greeting from his office was met with a frown and unfriendly face. He was reluctant in answering to queen's greeting and silent to her several requests and jokes that evening.
He did not eat with the queen that evening and asked to be left alone in the room. He asked the queen to move to another room and that he will want to be left alone in the room. It wasn't funny to the queen what was happening. She tried all her usual feminine romantic moves to draw the king closer, but they all met a strong resistance from the king who remained unfriendly to her.
The king behaviours were stranged throughout the weekend to the queen. She thought she had offended the king somehow so she tried to adjust her behaviour towards him but all to no avails. She realized the king had distant himself from her throughout the weekend, when they were supposed to be spending time together.
The weekend for the couple which usually commenced from Friday evenings and end on Sunday evenings were packed with exciting events. They either stay in the palace for exciting moments or visit other royals recreational facilities in the city for their weekend rest. Sometimes, they could go on royal luxury cruise ship with Prince Richmond and Princess Linda for the weekend rest.
The weekend has always been an exciting and impressive times for the king and the queen. But that has changed for the queen and she doesn't know the cause of her predicament yet. She kept her weekend experience to herself hoping things will improve within the week but never knew more issues are about to occur.
The Monday royal meetings is usually very long and all the chiefs, queen, prince and sometimes the ministers are invited.
Many issues concerning the welfare, security, health, economic matters in the city were deliberated upon in this Monday meeting.
However, the sensation and high mood of the members of the cabinet in the meeting were turned to low ebb when the king dissolved his marriage with his queen in the presence of everybody, even in the presence of queen and prince. I have decided to dissolve my marriage with the queen as from this moment. And right from this moment, she ceased to be my queen. All her belongings should be packed with immediate effect from my residence. She should be escorted by chief in charge of transportation back to her father's residence.
The meeting became silent after the king's pronouncement. The queen stand up from her seat beside the king and kneel in his front begging. The chiefs, prince and other ministers also joined the queen in begging the king. But he remained adamant. He said that, that is his decision and that no amount of begging or persuasion will make him change his mind.
So, the queen was escorted out of the palace by the chiefs. She was escorted back by the transportation chief and other two chiefs back to her father's house while her belongings were sent to her much later.
Prince Richmond was unhappy. He does not have any clue on what happened between the king and his mother that warranted for her sudden divorcement. He couldn't just question the king in the meeting. He has to wait till when he can discussed the matter privately with the king. He was with the king on Friday, and he never raised any issue of concern as relating to his mother ill- behaviour.
So, what could have happened to their love. These and many other thoughts were things he pondered about as he waited to see the king privately. As usual, the king had returned to his office after the royals' meeting. Prince Richmond was the first caller at his father's office after the meeting to find out what had gone wrong between him and his mother.
King Richard was having refreshment in his office when Prince Richmond entered into his office. Richmond, how are you? Please sit with me and have some drink, the king invited the prince. The Prince walked to the fridge to pick a glass cup and pour some wine into his glass cup then sip some. Thereafter, he dropped the glass cup and present his request to his father.
My king, I was with you on Friday to discuss the outcome of my visit to three orphanage centers. But you never told me you and mother were quarreling. Oh, Richmond, is it the issue of the queen you came to discuss? Please let bygones be bygones. She did not offend me but I'm just not interested in her any longer.
My king, you can possibly dumped mother just like that. You said she hasn't done anything wrong. And you are deposing and dethroning her off her position as queen and your wife.
Richmond, let leave this discussion for now. I'm not interested in the relationship any more.
But my king, that's my mother, you are abandoning. Yes, I know. But I haven't abandon you my son and your younger ones.
When I'm set to introduce my new wife and queen, I will ensure you and your siblings are present there. Prince Richmond couldn't believe his ears. King already having another affairs. That sound strange to him.
But what can he do. He didn't realize his father is possessed by evil powers. He never knew his father is not in his right frame of mind. What he heard from his father mouth tore his heart apart. He couldn't continue with the drink. He had to end his discussion with the king and leave the office.
My king, I will humbly advised you weigh the consequence of these actions before you venture into it. Prince Richmond advised as he greeted his father while leaving his office. As he was leaving, Sophia was walking towards the king's office with a file in her hand. The Prince never thought Sophia could be the new wife in question. They exchanged greetings and he walked away.
Back in prince's residence, he narrated the new development in the palace to Linda. She couldn't believe the queen has been sent away just like that without committing any offence. She believe there was something wrong somewhere.
As they sat in the sitting room pondering over what might have caused the king to take such nasty decision on the queen, the thought came to Linda's mind.
You said the king has found new wife and will be introducing her soon, Linda requested from prince. Yes, that's what he told me. And he also said the queen has not committed any offense. Yes, he did, the Prince responded to Linda query again.
Then, there must be something strange happening to the king, Linda concluded. I thought of that too. He is not in his right sense. I hope he is not charmed by the woman he has been seeing, the Prince guessed. There is something diabolical about the way he hurriedly sent away his queen, Linda concluded.
Then, we must do something about this issue. We shouldn't just fold our hands and allow such evil act to continue in this palace, the prince advised. My Prince, that's true, we shouldn't allow such evil act to stay here.
Who know what will happen next to the king, you and others in the palace, Linda cautioned. Linda, you are right. If a woman could cajole the king into sending his queen away who has not done anything wrong, then she must have more arsenal in her purse she want to execute. We shouldn't allow such evil person near the king, the Prince added.
Then, how do we go about preventing this calamity from being consolidated, Linda asked. My princess don't worry yourself. I will definitely come up with a plan. Let's go and have our dinner, the Prince stated.
Meanwhile, king had told Sophia of his activities. How he had instructed that his marriage with the queen had been dissolved and have her relocated to her father's house. He also told her that she will be introduced as the new wife and queen in the next cabinet meeting. She was however encouraged to move into the palace immediately.
Sophia belongings were moved into the king's mansion the next day. Sophia has finally succeeded in chasing away the queen. She's now the wife and queen to be. She was anxiously waiting for the next meeting day when she will be announced as the new wife and queen of Ralite city.
The Prince has however concluded his plan of stopping the new wife. He sent for each of guards in the king's office and residence two days after king's dissolution of his marriage with the queen and interrogated them. The guards at the king's office reliably informed him that, it was only Sophia that usually close late from work. They however stated that they haven't seen the king with any strange woman. The guards at the king's residence confirmed the relocation of Sophia into king's residence a day after queen and her belongings were removed from the palace.
