Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 121
After dropping Shilah off in her room, King Dakota proceeded to his room afterwards while Nosheba followed.
It hadn’t been easy for her – watching the King support Shilah to her room even with those maids watching and all. It gingered her motivation to carry out the plan she had in mind. She didn’t just need to get rid of the baby, but she needed to get rid of the mother as well so she doesn’t have to drag the favourite position with her.
Yes, that was just what she needed to do.
Walking into the room with the King, for a second, she got rid of her anger and took out time to admire him. Oh! He’s always been so dreamy – huge, handsome, dangerously charming. Who wouldn’t want such a man for herself?
“You shouldn’t be walking around, Nosheba, you should get some rest” King Dakota said as he walked over to his closet where he took off his jacket.
Nosheba’s cheeks blushed.
“Please, do not worry, My King for I am totally fine” she said with a bow.
“Are you?” King Dakota turned to look at her.
“What did you have for breakfast? And what have you taken for lunch?”
The caring questions were really making her heart beat heavily. Goodness! It felt so good to see the King caring so much about her.
“I… I had enough to eat, My King, believe me. You can be sure I wouldn’t want any harm to come to our son” she answered and touched her flat tummy.
And somehow, that gave the King some a*s*surance as he sighed and walked over to his writing table. Nosheba sat on the edge of the bed.
“And what about you, My King?” She asked softly, her hands on her thighs.
“What have you eaten today?” King Dakota paused for some seconds.
“Nothing” he muttered as he pulled out an empty scroll, trying to write the invitation letters for the feast.
“Nothing? But why, My King? That is too bad for your health” Nosheba grouse.
Well, Dakota had planned on bringing Shilah to the room for sèx when they were done from the field. But since she turned out sick, he didn’t want to stress her any further. Besides, he’s been passing through this for some years now and was already used to the unattended hunger.
“Do not worry about me either, Nosheba. I’ll be fine” he dipped his feather into his ink and started scribbling down on the scroll.
And for some minutes, silence took over in the room. Then, Nosheba decided to bring in the first phase of her plan.
“Shilah….” She sighed. “Do you really know what she’s sick of, My King?”
Her question made Dakota’s hand stop moving on the script for a second.
“I am not the Physician, Nosheba. So, I should have no idea” he replied, then continued writing.
“Yes, that’s true” Nosheba cringed a little. “Although…. I’ve just been thinking about something, My King”
She paused, hoping the King would look at her for more attention, but he didn’t. And she decided to proceed.
“Earlier today, I overheard my maid and another having a conversation about Shilah. My maid was like… earlier this morning, on her way to get me some fruits from the market, she had spotted Shilah under a tree with a strange man, having a private discussion”.
Now, that was enough to make the King halt and look at her. His brows arched. “What’re you talking about?” He asked coldly.
“Um….You know how these maidens and gossips are, My King” she chuckled nervously.
“But they sounded really sure. And then, I was wondering… Who could that man be? And if they really wanted to have a conversation, why didn’t he just come over to the palace? Why meet elsewhere, away from the palace?
“Please, don’t get it wrong, My King. I’ve never said Shilah’s cheating or anything – May the goddess forbid that. I’m just saying… it’s possible she’s only having a normal conversation with that man – whoever he might be – but where I think she’s wrong, is the fact that it happened in a place where they could easily be seen by outsiders. Someone else might not understand and paint a bad image about her which would be bad for our legacy. So, I think you should talk to her about handling her visitors. Maybe… she’s just shy of accommodating her visitors in the palace and I think you should talk to her to learn how to be free about it. It’s nothing big, My King.
And please, I’d advise you don’t stress her about it today since she’s feeling unwell. Let her be, and maybe tomorrow, you can address the issue, My King”. She ended it all with a warm smile.
King Dakota’s joy had already been disorganized as confusion set in.
Shilah? Why would Shilah be meeting with a man outside the palace? Was this even true? It’s possible the maids were mistaken and he couldn’t wait to find out the following day.
Nosheba, on the other hand, looked at his face with scrutiny as she tried to discern if her plan was having any effect or not. Oh! She really hoped it was.
