My Emotionless Goddess

” Miss lambert, please respect the royal crown.” The queen who was displeased by how casually the mannerless lady addressed the king reprimanded. Her voice was stern and laced with deep jealousy. Even though she was married to the king, she was never allowed to act casually around him, she couldn’t even call him casually or else she would have to face punishment. thinking about it, how could she allow just any Dick, Harry or Tom to address the king so casually. ” It seems the lady the prince brought home is wild and uncultured and needs to be taught royal manners. she should be punished for breaking the royal rules..” she declared bitterly earning a deadly glare from justin but she ignored him and looked at the butler who was known to be strict with royal rules.

” Sophia, that’s enough!” The king said in his calm and composed voice that Sophia knew very well. That voice was meant as a last warning so despite her displeasure, she could only seeth in anger quietly. The king then turned to look at Miranda only to realise that her excited face was nowhere to be seen. He had expected this much from her. All thanks to his bitchy Queen, she seemed to have created a distance between them and that hurt him but he concealed it with a smile. ” am so happy to see you again bumpkin, you have grown so much.” he said smiling, his eyes twinkling with excitement. ” It has been years my king, i was bound to grow bigger.” Miranda replied, sounding as formal as ever. ” You know you don’t have to be so formal with me, our relationship is beyond king and subject.” the king replied and Miranda immediately deciphered the hidden message in his words. right, they were more than king and subject, they were more of an uncle and his favourite doll but most importantly, they had a blood bond, not by kinship but by promise.

” Welcome to the family . I was so excited to hear Justin finally found his better half but my happiness multiplied hundred fold when I got to know it’s you my dear. You don’t know how happy I am to see you again.” The king said excitedly. Justin, who had been ignored by the two important people in his life, was seething with jealousy. His father would always welcome him home with a huge and warm hug but it seems he forgot all about him when he landed his eyes on miranda. And that fiancee of his! She had a habit of ignoring him whenever she found her favourite people. He felt like an abandoned puppy after his owner acquired a new pet. But above all, he was surprised that Miranda and his father, the king, knew each other at a personal level. Miranda had addressed his father as a little uncle while his father repeatedly called her pumpkin, that just indicated how close the two were in the past considering his father said something like it’s been a while since he saw her.

” Brother, why are you standing here eating vinegar? it’s not like your father is snatching your woman away!” Nikolai teased. ” Oh! I get it . It’s because nobody is paying attention to you anymore right?” Nikolai added and stifled a laughter riling up justin. He knew just the right buttons to press to get Justin all worked up. He had after all spent his days observing Justin’s every move and he loved to use that knowledge to the fullest. Justin was about to retort when Ronald’s words echoed in his mind. ” he loves to rile you up so that he can get to see your reaction. By reacting, you make yourself predictable that’s why it is easy for him to plan how to attack you knowing well how you will react.” Justin decided to keep his cool and not give the bastard the satisfaction he was seeking. ” I don’t need to seek attention like a certain someone. She’s my wife and he’s my father. Why should I get jealous of their good relationship? It’s actually good that they are getting along really well.” Justin replied and he watched as the man looked at him with disbelief until the corners of his mouth curled up revealing a smile. The smile justin hated the most . He wished he could wipe that smirk off his face but held in. All will happen, but in due time and when that time comes, he will be having the final laugh.

” Not bad! but i have to admit that she is a beauty. No wonder our virgin prince fell for her. i wonder how good she is in bed though.” Nikolai said with a devious smile, his gaze towards Miranda was lustful. ” Don’t you dare harbour any designs on her, she’s my woman!” justin said in a low and threatening sound. He could take any shit from his stepbrother but definitely not him eyeing his Miranda. ” we will see about that justin and a point of correction, she is not yours. the two of you ain’t married yet. watch and see.” He replied straightening his suit jacket. Nikolai then walked towards the king and Miranda with a fake smile plastered on his face. ” Your highness, don’t you plan on introducing the rest of us to your sister in law?” he said smoothly, no hint of his earlier playfulness in his voice. looking at him, the king could tell why he was doing this and a look at his son’s sour face confirmed his speculations. The two never coexisted in peace. They were like water and paraffin, never mix.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The king was well aware of the enmity between the two but decided to give his family some face. Turning to Miranda he took the liberty to introduce his other members of the family. ” She’s the queen, queen sophia.” he said, pointing at the woman standing at the far end of the room busy admiring her nails. ” And this is Prince Nikolai.”
