The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I wasn't subjected to the suffocating loneliness for a very long time. Footsteps

approached my cell. I stopped looking out of the tiny window and glanced at the iron bars at the entrance of my cell.

The visitor was someone familiar. It was Queen Iris.

She wasn't alone. Sasha and Johnson was with her. Johnson was still staring at me with cautiousness etched on his face.

"Well, well, well. Look at who we have here." The Queen's voice said.

Her voice was amused but none of that amusement reached her eyes.

I walked forward until only a little distance separated us.

"Queen Iris, I wish to speak to the King. Please, grant my request." I said.

I didn't mind the fact that I was just cultivating a barren land by making this request. No opportunities would be wasted.

"Sophia, or should I call you Edna? Stop dreaming. You lied about everything but you expect me to grant your request like a dummy? Do you think I am stupid?" The Queen questioned.

"Edna, I never thought you would get to this point. You don't seem like the person strutting about because of the King's favor a few days ago." Sasha mocked.

"Sasha, enough." The Queen said.

Her words were halfhearted though.

Queen Iris waited for Sasha to say everything she had to say before making a move to caution her. Her actions were so hypocritical.noveldrama

"I heard any attack that is actively made on you by a living being would be

rebounded?" The Queen started.

I kept my mouth shut.

It was obvious that the Queen wasn't going to release me and she wasn't willing to listen to me too.

"Open the door, Johnson." The Queen said.

Johnson executed her instructions immediately.

He brought a key out and he unlocked the iron bars.

I don't know how much time had passed.

It might be half a day or a few hours.

My stomach was protesting. I had not eaten anything since I was thrown into this dungeon.

After Johnson opened the iron bars, he returned to the Queen's side.

"Although I believe the message you brought to me, I want to see Edna's ability with my own eyes." The queen said to Johnson.

Johnson nodded.

He walked over to where I was. His hand moved before landing on my cheek. Suddenly, he pinched me painfully.

The area under his fingers started to discolor.

A similar color started to form on Johnson's face.

His hand left my cheek and he turned to the Queen.

She looked at the marching red marks on my face and Johnson's face with sharp eyes.

"No wonder. I can see why he king of the surface world is obsessed with you. You are the perfect trump card. You would deal with the enemies of your owner like it is a piece of cake." The queen said, "I am confused about something though. Why did this ability work now? It wasn't active earlier."

The Queen, Sasha and Johnson stared at me for an answer.

I didn't know the answer to the Queen's question. Even if I did, I would be a fool to spill that information to her.

"Queen Iris, I heard from Johnson that the battle between the underwater soldiers and the people from the surface is currently on a small scale. I am sure that you wouldn't want to lose people when you can choose a path without bloodshed. Let me go and you would be free of trouble." I said.

"You played the King and everyone else like a fiddle. Do you think we would let you go like that? Besides, as the king of the surface fights for you, your importance is highlighted continuously. We will be able to get great favors from the king of the surface in exchange for you. Isn't that path better?" The Queen questioned.

My mouth opened but no reply was forthoming.

The Queen was right.

The king wouldn't let this kind of pie that fell from the sky slip through his fingers. Moreover, it was highly likely that his feelings for me might not be lust anymore. Those feelings might have turned into calculations for benefits.

King Ricard wouldn't let me go easily. Heartache made it hard to breathe. I didn't want to see Killian cornered.

I don't want him to do something that would result in adverse effects in the future just because of me.

Living with that kind of guilt would be crippling.

"Importance doesn't guarantee anything. I might be important to the King of the surface but he might still refuse to give the underwater empire any favors. You guys

are just trying to daydream." A thoughtful reply finally slipped from my lips.

The Queen blinked, "Well, we would see if my people are daydreaming or prophesying when the nearest future arrives."

Sasha was looking at me with condescension.

The three of them stepped out of my cell. I didn't try to stop them or attack them.

Deep down, I knew it would be in vain. It was better to preserve my energy for something better.

Johnson locked the iron door at the entrance of my cell before turning to the Queen.

"We can't let you stay in this place like this while our soldiers are fighting with their lives on the line." The Queen began.

I wanted to roll my eyes.

Her words were variations of the words Johnson said when he came to my cell with his cohorts.

Birds of the same feather flock together after all.

Queen Iris continued, "Johnson, go and get leeches, jellyfish and poisonous octopuses. Unleash them on her but don't let her die."
