??THE KING
AND I??
Episode 5
Written by: Eunice Nwodu
? Dawn’s pov?
I was now cleared on the fact that I have an enemy here at the castle.
Anger began eating me alive and I thought of what to do.
Without a second thought, I grabbed the glass filled with water and ambled to where she was.
I raised my hand and emptied the whole water on them.
They both jerked up from their seats with gasps. The look on their face was priceless.
“What the h.ell! Have you lost it???” The lady fired and I rolled my eyes.
I turned and walked back to my chair glamorously.
My b.utt was barely on the seat when Alicia picked up the cutleries on her side of the table and threw them at me but I dodged it.
Whaaat?
I stood my ground and took Simone’s glass of water splashing it on Alicia.
She used her hands to shield herself but the water still soaked her.
“You bi**h!” She rasped and picked up her plate throwing the whole food at me.
Dmnit…
She tried to hit me with her remaining fork but Simone got up and the fork landed on her.
Oops.
“You pathetic fools” Simone seethed and carried her empty plates throwing it as us individually.
Geez!
“I wasn’t the one that tried to murder you with a fork!” I groused and she smirked.
In a few seconds, the whole dinning room was a mess as we began throwing things at each other; The Vegetables and other edibles on our plates.
I had my eyes on Alicia as she took a big round serving plate aiming for me.
I shrieked and was about to take cover when she released the plate and it hit her daughter.
Oh my God!
The little girl…
“Xenia!” Alicia called in fright and scurried to her.
Xenia’s tears were starting to scroll down her cheeks. Poor thing.
I stared in dismay as Alicia consoled Xenia but her tears seemed like she was just beginning.
Alicia was almost in tears as she embraced her to stop crying.
Just then, we began hearing footsteps.
Bold and clear footsteps…
I gazed intently from where it was coming from.
My nostrils instantly got occupied with sweet thick rich perfume which I suppose was expensive and precious.
Holly Molly!
My nose was in heaven.
Who could smell so good like this, huh?
He walked in…?
With his black hair ruffled and curly…
The first few buttons of his fine kingly robe was opened…
Eyes so green and crazy…
Lips perfect and pink….
A gold shinning earring on his left ear…
Oh Heavens!
He walked so perfectly with his hands behind his back.
King Lee…
I’m so going to faint.
He was much more drop dead handsome in person.
How can he be the crazy king everyone was talking about? Crazy but dangerous…
Our eyes locked for a second there but it didn’t last as he drifted them to his crying daughter.
There were few guards behind him
He gazed at her for a while and Alicia left her maintaining a distance from the father and daughter.
He stooped to the child’s level and huffed.
“What are you doing Xenia?” He asked her and I blinked rapidly.
Can’t he see she’s in tears??
His voice was deep and sweet.
So dmn appealing…
Xenia sniffed unable to stop her tears.
King Lee touched the girls hair and paused for a while before withdrawing his hand.
Blood.
There was blood stained on his hand.
God!
This is not happening.
Conniption gripped me as I stared at the blood in his hand.
The plate injured her for real…?
Oh goodness.
Alicia is so dead??
King Lee slowly took his hand to his head and rubbed the blood off.
“Who did this to you?” He asked with so much darkness resounding in his voice.
I watched as Xenia glanced at her mother who had slight tears on her cheeks.
“I’m waiting Xenia” King Lee cooed impatiently, fiddling with the button on Xenia’s dress.
She sniffed and began cleaning her tears with her hands.
She turned to me and before I could say ‘jack’, she pointed towards me and the king threw his gaze at me.
Whaaat?
How could Xenia do this???
I’m officially dead????
