Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Queen Asalea is Glowing
When Queen Asalea woke up the next day, sadness filled her heart as King Timodore was not in their bed anymore. What was left are proofs of their passionate lovemaking last night; the creased bed sheets, his fragrance that lingered in her and in their bed, and the memories that kept on coming back in her mind.
He was not satisfied with their first round, with her butt being banged on the door, with his hands supporting it. He laid her on their bed thereafter and claimed her again. It was as if his needs for her were insatiable.
Queen Asalea freshened up herself and walked straight to the palace's dining area. She felt hungry and she needs some nourishment.
In the dining area, she saw King Timodore sipping his coffee, Dreckos, Toremo, and besides King Timodore is Sulie who looked at her with her scorching eyes.
Queen Asalea made her sweetest smile as she sat beside her husband after giving his cheek a quick kiss.
King Timodore looked at her. "You woke up late." He stated.
"Sorry, you made me so remember?" Queen Asalea replied with a sheepish smile on her lips.
Hiding a smile, King Timodore nodded. He then called the kitchen servant to serve the Queen's breakfast.
Sulie frowned automatically upon hearing Queen Asalea's words; Dreckos grinned while looking at his King. Toremo was silent while glancing at Queen Asalea whose face is glowing, clearly showing the happiness in her heart.
"Good to see you glowing Queen Lea." Dreckos noticed too.
Queen Asalea glanced at King Timodore first before giving Dreckos her sweet smile. "Thank you Dreckos. Maybe because I am too happy. My husband never failed to make me happy," she said while gently holding the right hand of King Timodore on top of the table beside her.
"Really?" King Timodore asked but still hiding his smile. He tried to still look stiff and cold.
"Yes, my love, and I vowed to do the same to you." She tightened her hold on King Timodore's hand, which the latter never dared to remove.
Unable to take the scene anymore, Sulie drastically stood up. "Excused me, I remembered I left something in my room." She then walked away without giving any glance to anyone in the dining area. Toremo thereafter followed after excusing himself too.
Dreckos shrugged his shoulders and smilingly looked at his King and Queen, who are still holding hands.

After Queen Asalea finished her breakfast, King Timodore excused himself and asked Dreckos to come with him to his sacred room. He looked at Queen Asalea before leaving. "You better rest more," he said. Queen Asalea nodded and smiled at him before turning her back to return to their room.
In the sacred room, Dreckos' inquisitive eyes are fixed on King Timodore.
"I know you are wondering Dreckos, but I could not help myself making love to her." King Timodore sighed in frustration.
Dreckos laughed heartily, "Because you love the Queen, don't you, my King?" he asked then.
"I do, but I am still mad with her lies. He made a fool out of me." Confusion can be seen now on King Timodore's expression.
"Well, let us see in the coming days if you will still hate her. Sulie is still here; what will you do to her then?" Dreckos asked again.
"Let her stay for a couple of days. I am still contemplating how to tell her to go without offending her or Toremo," he said fidgeting his chin.
Dreckos glanced at his King and said in a soft voice, "Okay then. I just hope she will not be a temptation that will destroy these good things that are happening between you and Queen Lea."
"Nope, let me take a fresh air at the balcony. You can come if you want to Dreckos." King Timodore stated while preparing himself to leave his sacred room.
Dreckos shook his head and informed the King that he needs to finish something.
At the balcony, King Timodore sat on the couch therein. He rested his back on the couch and tried to relax his mind by closing his eyes. A smile twitched on each edge of his lips as he remembered his passionate love making with his Queen last night.
He was in that position for few minutes until he felt someone sit beside him on the couch and started caressing his chest and then kissed him torridly. He furrowed for such brave action of anyone that intrude his solace.
Slowly, he opened his eyes to know who is intruding on his solemnity and was surprised who he saw.
