Ethan turned and looked at her. It’s true she’s beautiful but he’s worried if she has the qualities to make a great queen.
“Have a seat Angela” He said.
She sat down as per ordered as she picked her fingernail.
“You can breathe Angela, I don’t bite unless you give me a reason to” He said.
Angela nodded and released her breath. She’s been holding without knowing.
“I just heard that Jackson got married to you. And I want you to answer my question honestly” He said and Angela nodded.
“Why did you marry him?”
“Um I married him because I want to get revenge” She said honestly.
“Revenge?” He asked confused.
“Yeah. It’s really complicated and I too do not understand certain parts.
When I’ll understand it all I promise I’ll come clean with you” She said finally looking up at him.
“Okay, for some reason in which I too I don’t know I trust you” He said.
“Next question. Do you love him?” He asked.
“No your majesty and I don’t know if I’ll be able to love him. I don’t deserve his love, he deserved to be loved by someone better than me. I’ve been stained by so many men” Angela said sadly and fought back her tears.
“Okay. Looks like you went through a lot. Do you have any family members, your educational attainment, your occupation” He asked.
“Well about my family that’s something I still need to find out. I never went to school and I work as cook in three stars hotel” She replied
“Okay. To be honest with you, I like your honesty and I appreciate the fact that you don’t pretend.
You say things that are in your mind…You’ll make a great ruler of course you still have to learn some specific manner and also your education.
I’ll call a private tutor for you, he’ll teach you and as for the manner and all the royal stuff, I believe my wife will be best to teach you that”
“Also in the next month a royal wedding will be organized and that’s where you’ll be acknowledge as Jackson wife. By that time I assume you must have already known about everything you need to know.
But before that time comes let’s just say you’re his fiance, welcome to the family Angela. You can call me father instead of king and all those formalities” He said and smiled.
“Thanks father” She replied with a smile.
Somehow she feels happy that he accepted her in the family.
“Go on you can leave now unless you’re hungry and you want to have lunch with me” He said and chuckled.
“No need, I’ll leave now.” She stood up and bowed then walked away
She walked up to her room with a broad smile on her lips.
“Ela?”
She turned to where the voice was and her face brighten more as she saw Nina. She went and hugged her tightly…
“Wow look at you, you’ve been here for two hours and you’re already glowing” Nina said with a smile on her face.
“Thanks. Aren’t you sad that I got married to your crush?” Angela asked. She didn’t want any trouble with her, she’s like a sister to her..
“Oh please I’m completely fine you know me I have like 10 crushes everyday. That guy is cute,,, I’ll be back” Nina said and walked to one of the guards.
Angela chuckled and began touring round the castle. It was so huge that you can get missing in it.
She opened a door and gasped as she saw a beautiful garden out there.
“So cool” She said as she walked in admiring the different flowers, trees and birds.
“What are you doing here?” Someone spoke.
Angela turned at where the voice was coming from and smiled as she saw Theodore. He was sitting on a tree branch.
“I’m the one supposed to ask you that what are you doing up there. Aren’t you old enough to be climbing on trees” Angela asked.
He jumped down the tree and walked to her.
“Too old I’m a year older than my brother and beside there’s never a particular age to stop having fun. When I’m free I use to come here” He said with a smile.
“It’s so beautiful in here” She said looking round the garden with a smile on her lips.
“Just like you” He said
“Thanks” She replied still looking round the area.
Theodore stared at her and then at her lips. He shook his head as he shrugged his thought away.
“Do you do archery?” He asked.
Angela looked back at him and shook her head.
“Come with me” He said and held her hand as he pulled her further in the garden. They walked till they stopped at a location. They were bows and arrows and on the other corner was a target.
Theodore released her hand and then picked the bow and arrow then fixed it and aimed at the target. He released the bow and it shot the bull eyes.
“Wow cool, I want to try it” Angela said.
She picked up a bow and arrow and then tried to put it in it’s correct position but she wasn’t able to do it.
Theodore chuckled seeing her struggle. He walked behind her and held her hand then fixed it for her.
“Now close an eye and concentrate on your target” He said pointing at the target.
He unknowingly inhaled her body scent which made his heart flutter.
Angela concentrated on her target and released the bow it shot perfectly.
“I did it yeah!!” She screamed and turned to Theodore.
He smiled at her…
“Congratulations” He replied.
“Thanks” She replied with a smile.
