The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I could spot the guards at the entrance of my bedroom. Any thoughts of escape would have to wait till I get to the venue.

I obediently let Catherine and the other girls dress me up. I didn't want the Queen's threat of tying me down and taking me away come true.

The girls didn't take too long. After a while, I was done.

"Wow, my lady. You are breathtaking. I am sure the king would not be able to take his eyes off you when you appear before him." One of the four girls Catherine called into the bedroom said.

"It would be for the best if he could take his eyes off me." I spoke in a cold voice. My chilly tone destroyed the warm atmosphere that set in after the girl's words.

The other girls didn't say any appreciative words anymore.

The veil on my head didn't hinder my vision. There was beautiful marks and drawings on my face.

"Lady Sophia, it is time to head to the wedding venue." Catherine said.

I nodded.

I let Catherine lead the way. The other girls held a few gifts from the boxes the King sent. They walked behind me.

I don't know if these people thought I would escape now.

Finally, we arrived at the venue.

Catherine led me through a decorated path. The other four girls that had been following us dispersed into the crowd. The wedding venue was pretty.

Numerous merfolk was present. Everyone was watching everything what was happening with a big smile on their faces.

Some of the ladies even looked at me with an envious expression.

Catherine continued to lead me forward. There was a raised platform at the center of this gathering.

This raised platform wasn't too extravagant. If was minimalistic compared to the rest of the venue.

The king was already standing on the platform. There was one other person in front of the King.

This lady had a glittering blue tail. She was holding a golden book in her hand. Both the lady and the King were staring at me. Their real thoughts was unknown. Catherine and I finally arrived at the base of the raised platform.

She gestured for me to climb the stairs that would get me to the top of the platform. Catherine didn't make any move to get on the platform herself.

I stood still.

A few minutes flew by. When I didn't make any moves to get on the platform, the noisy crowd around me quietened down.

Everywhere was so silent. In an area next to the raised platform, the Queen and other beautiful women stood together.

There was various expressions on the faces of those women.

Those women should be the concubines of the King.

At first glance, I could count almost twenty women. This king was really lustful.

I would not be part of that group. I estimated that the King would have dozens of concubines.

I used this guess as the basis to mock the queen when she came to threaten me to eat.

I didn't know my words were truly the reality. I wished it was still a guess.

The smile on the King's face reduced as he continued to look at me.

"Let me go and we would not have to embarrass ourselves here." I mouthed to the King.noveldrama

Suddenly, I felt weakness spread through every nerve in my body.

I stumbled forward like a drunken person.

My heart started to sink.

What was going on?

Catherine came closer to me and her arms wrapped around me. I had no choice but to rest most of my body weight on her.

"The King and the queen knew you are extremely stubborn so we laced your food with something that would make you weak." Catherine whispered.

She didn't speak like a maid that was talking to her mistress.

Her hot breaths sprayed on my ears. My ears were warm but my heart was cold.

I messed up.

When I was pretending to listen to them, I had forgotten one important fact. Mortal hearts were complicated.

I wasn't a deity. Even if I predicted their actions, many things could change. These

people wouldn't necessarily act like I imagined.

These people could pretend too. I thought I was smart.

"What is wrong with her?" The king asked in concern.

I glanced at him with a sneer on my lips. He was good at pretending.

He was acting like he didn't plant Catherine by my side.

"My mistress is feeling sick. That's why she was standing still earlier." Catherine replied, "Marriage would bring good luck so she insisted on coming even when she was unwell."

I looked at Catherine from my peripherals. This lady was smart. She sugarcoated my act of defiance. She turned a huge and scandalous matter into something small. Catherine was actively trying to build a false image of me in the eyes of the public. According to Catherine, I was the ultimate lover girl. I was sure that there would be some ladies in the crowd that would be jealous of my false reputation.

"I admire her actions and efforts. Assist her properly. You two should come up. I can't let her sacrifice go to waste." The King instructed.

"Yes your majesty." Catherine replied.

She kept a tight hold on my arm and waist. I was weak but I could still lift my feet a little. I didn't do that.

Catherine had to bear the bulk of the efforts that climbing the platform required. She didn't mind.

A smile was on her face and she basically dragged me to the platform. One of my shoes fell off during the process.

I was still feeling like my energy had been drained away and Catherine stayed by my

side.

"It is time for your vows." The lady with the blue tail said.

She should be the person officiating the wedding.

I won't lie, I was looking forward to this segment.

All the tricks the king and queen played would have no effect in this area.

I want to see if they would force me to agree to marry the king verbally without my

consent.
