Chapter 15
~how much royalty su-cks~

She was so excited when queen Aimee informed her that she has a pavilion of her own. When she was escorted to the spacious pavilion by a maid, she was excited. Now, she is free from monitoring. She is very excited. She started jumping around.
?This will be so much fun?
Kayla started singing.
?Queen Cheryl this is freedom?, Kayla added.
“C’mon, I’m not a queen yet”
?This is too much freedom I wonder if this is a dream?, Jade said.
Cheryl started dancing and said.
?We are freeeeeeee?
Kayla: ?Free
Cheryl:?Free from
Jade :?Guards, court ladies and Eunuch.
Cheryl:?And even this heavy garmet. I can wear free cloths all day long with no one watching.Oh how much royalty su-cks….?
Jade?Now you don’t have to complain that styling you is taking too much time.
Cheryl:?Oh how much royalty su-cks
But now I’m a little free. I’m going to make most of this freedom. There is even a quarters of my own. This marriage must be a blessing in disguise
Oh how much royalty su-cks!?
Cheryl continued jumping and dancing with Kayla and Jade while the servants given to her in Shelagh are watching and clapping.
?I can be free__even if it’s just in my Quarters. I can be free…..?
Then Kayla saw something and blinked her eyes to see if that thing is really there. Then all the servants went on their knees.
Kayla sneezed and cough but Cheryl is too carried away that something is wrong. She continued dancing and singing and the thing watched her all along.
Cheryl:?Even if it’s just here in my quarters. I’m free
Oh how much royalty su-cks!!!?
“kayla why are you not singing….”, and she turned and saw all the servants kneeling. She followed their direction and saw……

King Alexander shook his head and starts walking towards her.
” Shirley’s right. You lack decorum. What if someone sp-otted you just now. Don’t you know you will be damaging your reputation as queen?”, King Alexander told her when he is close enough to her.
She curtsied.
“I’m sorry my king”
“Cheryl, you will be queen of Shelagh for goodness’ sake. Just now, you look nothing like a royalty.!”
Cheryl pouted.
“I’m just excited. What’s wrong with that? Why should I be denied of showing my excitement?”, She asked.
He shook his head.
” Well, I just came to see if you like this pavilion”, he said.
“I like it. That’s why I’m celeBr@ting earlier”
He move closer to her again.
“Your coronation is tomorrow”
Cheryl frowned.
“So soon?”, She asked.
” I can only hope I am not mistaken to make you queen of Shelagh. You have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders”, King Alexander said.
Cheryl sigh.
“I hope so too”, she said.
King Alexander expected her to as-sure him that she will do well but why is this woman doing the least expected things.
He turned and gestured to the Slave Owen.
He turned tp Cheryl.
” I’m giving him to you. He will report everything you do to me. Behave”, The king said.
“What? I can’t believe you wants someone to watch me. Don’t you trust me…”
“You’re too troublesome to be trustworthy, Little witch”, he whispered into her ears.
” Witch? We just got married and you’re already calling me witch?”, She asked.
He smiled.
“Shall I punish you for what you did the other time. I will have you whipped_fifty stro-ke of cane”
Her eyes widen.
“For what? Just for little dancing and singing?”, she asked.
” It’s out of royal etiquette”, he said.
“Just call me witch. I don’t mind. Now that I think of it, it’s a nice nickname for a cute wife”, Cheryl said.
Alexander laughed and pats her head.
” Good girl”
“I’m not a girl”, She said.
” What are you? A queen?”, he asked.
Cheryl smiled and nodded.
Alexander scoffed.
“You must be kidding me. Listen lazy child, your archery lessons is starting soon. Your trainer is King Alexander himself. Aren’t you lucky?”, he teased.She gave a mock bow.
” Yes master”
He sigh.
He had talked so much today. He wouldn’t speak to her for the next three days.
Cheryl and her servants bow.
“Sending his majesty out”
He smiled mischievously and turned
to Kayla.
“You are Cheryl’s handmaid?”, he asked.
” Yes, your majesty”
“Prepare queen Cheryl well. She’s serving me on bed tonight”, then he walked away leaving. Cheryl shocked.
‘What? Serving him on bed? Well that’s not the point, why is this man not talking to me. What am I saying? Serving him on bed! My goodness”
“Xander!”
“Who?”, Jade asked.
Cheryl smiled.
‘That’s our little secret. I’m not going to tell anyone’
She jumped.
She turned and saw the slave looking at her.
‘Behave Cheryl. A spy is around’

Chapter 16
~A decent Royalty~

Cheryl opened her eyes and memories of the last night came flowing in. She tried to sit up but wince at the pain.
Oh! She smiled.
That young king really proved that he is still young and energetic. She remembered him saying sweet words to her during their se-xual intercourse. She sat up when she heard footsteps. The king looks like he just came put of the washroom. He looks yummy and handsome.
“Good morning, your majesty”, She greeted and blus-hed when their eyes met. He just nodded.
“I hope you slept well”, she said.
The man nods again.
Cheryl raise her brow. Why dies it looks like my husband has turned deaf and dumb overnight?
Or could it be that he lost his voice when we were doing it last night. Thinking about this, Cheryl blus-hed.Hehe.
Last night was intense so it is really not bad if the man lost his voice. He must have enjoyed himself to the fullest.
As she was about to tease him, he had finished scribbling on a paper with a brush. He raise it for her to see.
” A Queen is just waking up at this time. Today is your coronation you witch. You better get out from bed”
She bits her li-ps.
“You should have waken me earlier when you woke up!”, remembering her curtsy, she added “your majesty”
He just ignored her. She tried to stand up from the bed but she fell back from the pain.
“Ha!”
He rushed to her.
“What is it?”, he asked.
She smi-rked. He talked.
He closed his eyes when he realized that he had fallen for her prank.
” My king, I’m in this ain because you’re so rou-ghon me last night. Only if you handle me more carefully…..”
He just can’t believe her shamelessness.
“Xander!”, She called when she noticed he is really ignoring her.

?

Oh! This witch!
King Alexander is trying his best not to talk to her but she finally made him say something to her that morning when she pretended to be in pain.
” Xander”, she called R0m-ntically.
“Who are you?”, he suddenly asked.
Then she laughed.
” Your Queen, Xander”, She replied.
He put the brush in ink and wrote on a paper.
“Get out!”
She pouted when she read it.
“But I’m in pain right now. Don’t you think you should take responsibilities for your actions!”
Then she continued.
“Can you help me to my pavilion? I will really appreciate it if you can”, she said.
” Are you kidding me, Cheryl? I’m king. Why should I do that?”, he asked her.
“I’m queen too! A king should take good care of his queen”
The funniest thing is that Alexander knew he is not obligated to do what she is asking for but he still feel the urge to do what she wants.
“You’re a witch”, he finally said giving in.
” Yes, your witch”, She said and smiled.
What is she doing to him. They just got married and she is a total stranger to him weeks ago.
“C’mon. Why should I?I’m royalty”, he said.
” Leave royalty aside. A responsible husband should always care for hos wife. Right now I’m the wife and you’re the husband, Xander”
‘Xander, Xander, Xander’
“I like the name”, he said all of a sudden. ” Because I like the name, I will help you to your room.”, he said.
As they pas-sed throu-ghthe hallways, the servants watched.
Alexander almost leave her alone because he felt awkward but the witch keep encouraging him.
“That’s it. We are almost there”, she keep on saying.
As they entered her pavilion, the saw Queen Aimee waiting.
” Sweetie, how’s your night”
Hearing the older woman words and un-derstanding what she is insinuating, Cheryl blus-hed.
“Fine, your majesty”, She said.
Queen Aimee smiled abd move closer to her son.
” You’re doing well, your majesty. I know you’re perfect in everything you do. Now, you’re even doing well in your duty as a husband”
King Alexander just acknowledged the woman’s word with a nod.

Cheryl knew that the moment she became queen that evening she would have to carry a heavy burden of duty. She would have to lead Shelagh with a selfless attitude. Queen Aimee got a royal teacher and advisor for her to help her out. Cheryl wanted to do her best. She really wanted to show her capability. She really want to show it to the world that she can do it too. She had decided to give away her freedom and perform her duty as a royalty. Her most important duty as a queen is to always be there for the king. She should serve him well and make sure he is in good health. The King is in charge of the whole Kingdom while the queen is in charge if the well being of the King. Cheryl decided to learn her etiquette well. She had decided to work ha-rder and behave well so as to preserve the king’s reputation. She must not draw him back. She must be a perfect lady that will fit the image of the public. A royalty!
