Her Marriage, Her Revenge

Chapter 23 To Rise Soon

Marshall finished tilling and landscaping the palace garden. Hungry, he walked to the dining area. His forehead furrowed as he felt that seems like someone is around or has been around. He could smell a different scent inside. He made his sense of smell stronger and tried to concentrate trying to sense if someone is nearby.

The smell is slowly fading until it was gone. Marshall became alert as there might be someone who was able to come inside the palace without his knowledge.

Queen Asalea on one hand had just left the Knostican Palace. After locking gently and safely the secret room, she decided to return to the Glodeos Kingdom. She decided to talk to her husband to help her revive the Knostican Palace and showed him some of the pieces of gold that she brought with her. She kept the gold first underneath their bed.

She got out of their bedroom and look for Dreckos.

"Hi Dreckos," Queen Asalea greeted Dreckos as she saw him in the corridor on the ground floor.

"Queen Asalea, hello." Dreckos greeted back and smiled.

"Are you going somewhere Dreckos? Would you know what time usually my husband returned when he is visiting his hotels?" she further asked.

"I am about to meet him at Tim & Dore Hotel III. I am going there right now."

"Can I come with you Dreckos?" She smiled at him trying to convince him to allow her to come.

Dreckos looked at Queen Asalea and nodded. "Sure Queen Asalea. I am not really sure why he told me before he left, to meet him there at five o'clock in the afternoon."

Queen Asalea smiled at Dreckos. "Let's go then."

Dreckos guide Queen Asalea to the parking lot of the Palace. He opened the door of a new Mustang parked therein and asked her to come inside as he will be driving it going to the hotel. Queen Asalea was in awe.

Still in awe; Queen Asalea, got inside the car and sit comfortably in the backseat.

They drove to the city so fast that it only took them at least 15 minutes to arrive at the marvelous Tim & Dore Hotel III.

As they entered the hotel, Queen Asalea really admired the elegant design of its interiors. From the main door until they reached the office of King Timodore, all the staff greeted them courteously.

"Dreckos, I could smell all the staff, they are all vampires and the guests, I smelled some human mortals here." Queen Asalea murmured to Dreckos before he knocked on the door of King Timodore's office. "Yes, but the Company has a policy; no human mortals inside this hotel should be harmed by any vampire staff or guests," Dreckos replied.

King Timodore was so surprised to see Queen Asalea together with Dreckos.

"My love, apology, I forced Dreckos to allow me to come with him. Seemed like, I missed you in just a couple of hours." Smilingly, Queen Asalea approached her husband and kissed him lightly on his lips. King Timodore made a deep breath and held Queen Asalea's face and kissed her back. "Do not kiss me with that short one, I am not satisfied," he whispered near Queen Asalea's right ear.

Giggling, Queen Asalea made a quick kiss on his cheek and immediately sat on the corner sofa.

Dreckos apologetically looked at his King, who just shrugged off his shoulders as if saying, it's okay.

"My King, may I know how I could help you here?" Dreckos asked.

"I just want you to roam around and observe if we need to add more guards here." King Timodore replied while checking some documents on top of his table.

"My Queen, I just need to finish signing these documents, and then we will dine out thereafter. We can also go shopping if you want." He made a quick glance at his wife, whose face suddenly glows when she heard his husband's words.

"Take your time my love, I am fine here," she replied while taking a magazine from the magazine rack just beside the sofa.

King Timodore nodded to Queen Asalea and motioned to Dreckos to start his assignment.

Smilingly, Dreckos went out of the room after excusing himself from King Timodore and Queen Asalea.

After a while, there was a knock on the door and a beautiful young lady in the hotel staff's uniform came in.

"Your highness, apology for disturbing you," her introduction after glancing at Queen Asalea.

"Yes, Madelie? What is it?" King Timodore asked after giving the staff a quick look.

"The matter is confidential your highness," she said while glancing at Queen Asalea again, who is just reading a magazine.

Suddenly, with narrowed eyes, King Timodore stopped signing a document on his table and looked at the staff. "Didn't you know who is with me inside this office now Madelie?"

"Apology your highness, I could not remember meeting before your visitor," once again the staff glanced at Queen Asalea, who is curiously listening to the conversation.

"Madelie, you can tell me that confidential matter in front of Queen Lea, my wife."

Madelie was so shocked upon hearing the King's words. She is just new in the hotel. She came from another vampire land and she did not know that the King is already married. Before coming over to this hotel to apply as the CEO's executive secretary, she has heard that the King is looking for a wife. That was the very reason why she resigned from her regular job as an Executive Assistant to the CEO of a prestigious hotel in another city. She wanted to be the Glodeous King's wife.
