A Night With The King

The woman who was no longer isolated has become one of the important people to Sophie who saw her as a mother figure and the older woman treated her like a daughter, giving her tips and advice on how to navigate her status as the queen and also how to be a good mom. Sophie had so many good people around her which made everything easy for her and she was thankful to every one of them.

Sophie let out a nervous sigh when she arrived at the cathedral. It was finally happening. She was marrying Lance. They announced her entrance and Sophie started walking towards the aisle where her Lancelot stood waiting for her with the most genuine expression. His eyes were filled with love and pride. She could see. Her heart felt full. Sophie felt her eyes water as she got to him. He had a bright smile ready for her and he looked so handsome in his royal regalia. So handsome and so hers.

After today, she would finally be able to call him her husband. She still couldn’t believe it was really happening. Sophie, who was a nobody, was marrying a king and the man of her dreams. She wished her family was alive to see this day. Even though they weren’t here to see her on her happiest day, she knew they would be watching from up there and that her mom especially would be proud of how her life had turned out. her mom was never lucky. Maybe she saved all her luck and gave it all to her. Maybe that’s why once her luck started, it never ran dry. She hoped that her luck would never run dry.

“So pretty, so mine,”

Lance whispered to her when she got to him. He stretched his hand, she smiled and gave her hand to him. They faced the officiant and they exchanged their wedding vows according to the laws of Otano. After they exchanged vows. They were both led back to the palace where Sophie was officially crowned the new queen of Otano. According to the laws of Otano. After her coronation. Sophie got a thirty-minute break after the coronation and after that, she had to dress for the wedding party. She didn’t see her new husband until she arrived at the venue for the reception.

“Are you okay? You look like you want to run away,”

Lance told her while they had their first dance.

“I am okay, just want this day to be over so that I can be with my husband,”

Sophie told him and rested her head on his chest as they danced around.

“Thank you for putting up with everything for me, I love you, my queen,”

“I love you too.”

The wedding party went on for about three hours before the new couple were allowed to leave. Sophie enjoyed the whole party and celebrations but being pregnant made her tired easily so when they could finally leave, she was all smiles because she wanted to rest and recharge and she needed to be alone with her beloved husband to do so.

“I finally got you to myself,”

Lance announced coming from behind her, he wrapped his arms around her before she could turn. She smiled and turned in his arms. She rested her head against his chest.

“How does it feel to be here with me right now? As my wife? The last time we were here, you were so sure,”

Lance said. Sophie smiled. She remembered it so well. Thankfully, Lance believed and he never backed down.

“I remember. Thank you for holding on to me and also for keeping all of your promises to me, today has been one of the best days of my life, definitely top three.”

Sophie told him.

“Today isn’t the best day of your life? One of? Top three?”

“Yes, one of. The best day of my life was that day, and second best was the day you asked me to be your girlfriend,”

Sophie said and blushed when she remembered the day she was referring to.

“What day?”

Lance asked.

“The day you got drunk and pulled me to the bed with you,”

“But a lot of bad things happened to you after that day, how can it be your best day?”

Lance asked in confusion. Sophie let out a little laugh.

“Well, yes. Many bad things did happen but that day led us to today, if that day hadn’t happened, I might not have been pregnant and if I wasn’t pregnant, you would not have asked for me to be moved out of jail and we might never have ended up together,”

Sophie explained.

“Wow, when you put it like that. I can’t imagine us not getting together. I don’t want to imagine it. Whatever led us to this day, I am just glad we are here now and that you are my beloved wife, the only woman for me. My reason.”

He said and lifted her face. He stared lovingly into her eyes. Sophie blinked to stop herself from crying again. She felt so emotional. The whole day has been emotional for her.

“I love you my darling Sophie, so much, I am so happy I found you. No, I am so happy you found me, Sophie. So happy that you found me worthy of your love, I won’t ever stop loving you,”

He told her while caressing her face. Sophie has had him say many sweet words to her but each time he spoke, she found herself loving him a lot more and also loving every word he said to her.

“I love you too,”

She responded.

“Tonight is the beginning of our forever as husband and wife. I promise you that you won’t regret meeting or marrying me,”

Lance promised.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“I believe you and I trust you, my Lancelot, and I feel the same too, I love you, so much. Now and forever.”

“Yes, now and forever.”

Lance added. They stayed outside and in each other’s arms for a couple of minutes more; before they retired to their room. Their life and future promise a sweet loving one…

*EPILOGUE*

Their little princess was born a little over a month later. A healthy seven-pound baby that came into the world in all of her glory, ready to be the great queen that was her destiny. As Sophie held her baby in her arms for the first time. She couldn’t help the smile that formed on her lips and the happy tears that fell from her eyes when they met with Lance who had tears in his eyes too. The memory would stay with her for a long time. After the birth, she slept for about three hours and when she awoke, her little princess was in the room with her. Sophie got out of her bed and walked to the baby crib. She picked up her little one and exhaled. Her baby was beautiful and so perfect.

“Thank you,”

She muttered to the pretty child for she was the reason Sophie’s luck changed forever. Both she and Lance already picked a name for her. Aurora. Which means dawn just like how her conception created a new dawn for Sophie. Sophie had a lot to be thankful for and made sure to not forget.

“My family,”

Lance whispered as he walked into the room. Sophie smiled at her brave loving husband who stood by her throughout her twelve hours of labour and was also there when their baby first entered the world. Lance, her beloved husband; who made sure to keep every one of his promises to her. He was everything.

“She is beautiful, just like her mummy,”

Lance commented as he stood in front of her, admiring their baby.

“And her daddy too,”

She added.

“Yes, I still can’t believe she is finally here, you did so well my Sophie, so well,”

He told her lovingly.

“I won’t have been able to do it all on my own. You were there with me and that’s why I could pull through, you are the best man in the world,”

Sophie replied to him.

“I love you,”

Lance said as he wrapped his arms around his beloved wife and smiled down at their beautiful daughter. They were everything he held dear and everything he wanted to protect with his life.

“I love you too,”

His queen responded and rested her head against him. Lance felt so much at peace. This was life, this was love, this was family and this was how he wanted the rest of his life to be. blissful, loving, and precious.

THE END…
