Athena and everyone in the dinner table was left shocked. Never have anyone related to the royal family be disrespected in such a manner.
"But milord, that preposterous, never have that been heard of or done to a royal member of the family",miss Cornelia said, speaking up for her sister.
"Yes, milord. The act of leaving a sit for a commoner have never been heard of", Rufus added.
But Aiden was not having any of it, he didn't know why his body was reacting so fast to get in contact with his new wife, he just wanted her to be close to him, and seeing that she might not sit close to him because of her mother, he had to improvise.
As for Amelia, she was so shocked that she couldn't get up from her sit, she knew that her daughter was stubborn and might disobey the king just like before, but she never expected the king to disrespect a family member.
"Hmm...ha.. milord.."
"Mrs amelia I would suggest you don't disobey the king",peter spoke this time already standing at the back of Aiden.
Amelia swallowed hard, she stood up slowly, aheading towards the sit which Athena hadn't left.
"Miss Athena i suggest you listen to the king", peter said pointing at the other chairs.
Athena eyes shot angrily at the maskman trying to intimidate him but the unmoving statue of a man didn't even flinch or blink, which only further humiliated Athena.
By the time Athena stood up, Amelia was already behind her, and when she left the sit she didn't hesitate to glare at the woman. Instead of sitting in the woman sit she decided to sit close to Gaia who was one sit away from the king.
When everything was settled, Aiden eyes shifted to look at the still standing lillia who watched the scene before her. Lillia was happy that she get to sit close to her mother but what of Athena?, She knew the woman would have already marked she and her mother as target and would cause trouble for she and her mother. Soon she saw the king's green eyes bore in her's. She knew what he wanted her to do. So she slowly Walked up to the sit at the right side of the king, her mother beside her and Cornelia opposite her. Everyone watched her as she walked to her sit,her face red.
She sat down, avoiding the looks even from the king.
A maid came towards her to cover her lap but she was quick to reject her, sending the maid away with a smile.
Meanwhile Aiden green eyes never left her face, he just couldn't get enough of her beauty. Soon everyone started eating,not peacefully but they all kept thier cool. Well,except Lillia and Aiden. Aiden still had his eyes at Lillia and the young lady found it weird. Was he angry at her for her earlier outburst against his family?
She choked on a piece of crab and had began to cough rapidly, Aiden quickly poured her a glass of water from the pitcher, but he wasn't the only one, Rufus too had quickly gave her a cup of water.
The people at the table was beyond shocked, wondering why both men who where ruthless suddenly cared for the suppose wife.
Gaia eyes shone of jealousy, as she watched the drama unfold. Gaia was among the few people who had seen the king's face, so she had always tried getting close to the king through his aunt's , she always dreamed of being queen and Aiden's wife, even the aunt's themself had both had the idea.
As for Aiden, anger boiled within him, he had never in his entire life been this angry, his gripped on his glass tighten as he stared daggers at his uncle who was obviously fooling around with his wife. As for Rufus he was shaken inside him as he stared at the king angry eyes, he immediately remembered the saying that if looks could kill , he was going to be dead since. As for lillia, she was immediately confused, in all her life no one had cared for her like this apart from her single mother. She was immediately left wide gape, but she needed to choose whose water to drink, her husband or a stranger, but she didn't even waste time to carry the glass of water in her husband hand knowing that a fight could break out. When lillia immediately took the water in his hands his eyes was still at his uncle. Soon as the anger was going to explode, Aiden felt a small hand on his lap, a small warm hand, he stared at lillia would had a small smile on her face, she gently squeezed his leg.
Aiden calmed down and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Peter, deal with Rufus here in your own style", he commanded.
Both aunties and Rufus was shocked, was the king punishing a royal member because he offered his wife a glass of water?. Immediately, Cornelia couldn't keep her self and she opened her lips and began to shout at the king. Athena and Gaia tried to hold her down, using their eyes to signal the woman to sit down.
"Milord, I have never seen such act performed by the king", she continued "first you sent your aunt away for a low life to sit, now this? This act is forbidden",.
Aiden didn't react much to it, his eyes had already went back to his food, taking huge bite. Peter had immediately went to follow the king order,he had rose Rufus up roughly and had literally dragged the man away.
Cornelia has no choice but to sit down,as her words had fell to a dead ear, at least that what she thought, when peter came back he walked towards the woman.
"Miss Cornelia you have been charged for disrespecting the king, insulting the queen mother and the queen herself",he announced, already lifting the woman up like a peice of paper, no matter how Cornelia tried wiggling he didn't bulg.
"What kind of strength does he have?",was on every one's mind.
After Cornelia was dragged away, everyone kept quiet till the end of the food.
When everyone was done, they waited for the king to leave the table first as it was their law. Aiden left and the other two, Athena and Gaia glared at both mother and daughter before leaving not that they cared.
Lillia stayed and talked with her mother for a long time before it was time for the woman to go, she hugged her daughter tight,with an happy expression.
"I'll miss you so much mother", lillia said.
"I'll miss you too, please lillia take care of yourself and the king",was the woman last advice before heading to the awaiting carriage. Every step she took down the stairs, she would always wave at her daughter before leaving the castle.
Lillia didn't cry like before,at least she got to say her good bye. She walked inside the palace ready to go to her room. She had barely walked far when a strong hand pulled her and pinned her against the wall, a warm soft lips pressed against hers.
She tried to wiggle free but the person was too strong. It was when the person pulled away that she saw Aiden with a cloud dazed eyes, staring at her hungrily, like as if she was some delicious dessert.
Earlier.....
Aiden had left the dining room with an unknown feeling in him.
His mind was all mushed up by his earlier reaction. He has nevered felt this feeling to any lady who he had come across. So why her ? She wasn't the most finest of all the girls he had made out with but why her?.
He walked into a guest room and ordered for a maid to be brought to him. When the maid arrived he had ordered for her to strip, which she did.
"Get to the bed",he commanded ruthlessly.
The maid got to the bed, liking this command, she was very happy that she was chosen to please the king, who was hot and sexy with a well buildt body. When she got to the bed, Aiden roughly took her, kissing her wildly but he wasn't satisfied, his mind kept on showing his new wife, he even imagined the maid as her but he wasn't satisfied.
He became frustrated and left the wet maid on the bed heading out of the room. To make matter worse, he had thought about the fact of which room to sleep with the maid, he didn't want any body on his matrimonial bed.
He had barely walked far when he saw her, the woman that blew his mind away. She was humming at herself with a happy smile on her face, her lips moving along with her humming. Those plump red lips attracted her to him.
He couldn't resist anymore, beside she was his wife and he was a man.
When she had got close to the corner he had pulled her to him and kissed her lips. Her lip was so soft and tasted sweet, something that he had nevered tasted from any lady. But he felt her wiggle, trying to break free, he got himself and pulled away, regretting his actions, even though his member was already standing strong he pulled away from her and left.
Lillia was confused at what just happened. She touched her wet lips with her finger recalling the moment. Hie soft lips, his daze eyes. She was quite disappointed that he had left her.
