Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 136
THREE DAYS LATER ✍️
Dressed in a drab – looking dress was Queen Nosheba, ambling towards the King’s door as she looked so rough and uncared for.
She’s had enough already – she thought. She’s had enough of the King’s silence and snubbish treatment.
It was still like a dream to her that he could get so hurt over a mere lady whom he’s only met few months ago, whereas, she, Nosheba, has been there for years! How can he??
Three days already and it’s been more like she’s achieved nothing and nothing at all. No one to speak with, No King to chat with. And her banquet was happening the next day!
Yes, the next day.
Those in charge of the banquet had been making sure the whole thing goes as planned. But with the way the King’s actions had been, Nosheba was beginning to doubt if he’d be in attendance. Somehow, she was beginning to fear he might end up not showing up for the banquet as he’d still be locked up in his room. And that wasn’t an option she was willing to face. Like… what is a royal banquet without the King in it??
She needed to fix things in place already.

Trying not to let her anxiety reflect on her face, she walked upto the door, but was as expected, stopped by the guards.
“I’m sorry, My Queen…”
“Oh! Please, not today” Nosheba rolled her eyes, cutting him off. Though, she sounded tired. “I know you’re only doing your job, but I equally need to do mine as the King’s wife. So, for today, you have to let me in”.
“We sincerely wish we could, but…”
“No more BUTS” she cut in again. “I need to see the King and right now. Just let me in okay? You don’t have to worry about getting punished for I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen”. She promised, but the guards were still not convinced.
And realizing they might not change their minds, she made for the door. And when the guards saw she was trying to go in without their consent, they quickly stopped her.
“My Queen….”
“What?” She snapped at them. “Are you going to stop me? Push me away while I’m carrying the King’s heir?” She paused and scoffed. “I’m so sure you wouldn’t want to risk that”.
And getting a grip of the fear, the guards couldn’t stop her when she tried going in again. And that was just how Queen Nosheba was able to make her way into the King’s chambers for the first time in days.

Opening the hard door and stepping foot into the giant room, the first thing Nosheba’s curious eyes could do was scour round the room, looking for that special man.
His elegant body wouldn’t make it difficult to find him if he were in the room and soon, he was indeed found.
Right there on the edge of the bed, head bent like one in deep thoughts with a half bottle of wine in his hand.
More like a peasant was what the King looked like as he didn’t have any of his heavy robes on. And not to mention that his unkempt room was complimenting his appearance. Well, of course, no one had been let into the room, not even the maids.
Without lifting his head, King Dakota was already aware of her presence, but remained still like he had noticed nothing.
“Oh, Dear goddess!” Nosheba exclaimed, quickly closing the door and budging forward to meet him. “I can’t believe this”.
“Are the guards no longer at the door?” King Dakota asked as she approached him.
“Oh! Please, don’t bring that up. It’s not important. What has happened to you?” She dropped to a crouch beside him and tried taking the bottle from his hand, but he wouldn’t let her.
“I’m fine, Nosheba, and don’t need to be nursed” he grumbled as he defended his bottle.
“Oh! Please, enough of the drinks already, I beg you. You can’t go on hurting yourself this way”. She pleaded, and taking a deep breath, King Dakota stood up to face the window, the bottle still in his hand.
“I’m not drunk, Nosheba, just…. resting” he exhaled deeply.
But even with the short distance he had taken from the bed to the window, Nosheba was smart enough to notice how little he staggered.
He backed her, and took some gulps from his bottle.
“You should leave” he finally said. “You don’t need to be here. I’ll be fine on my own”.
But Nosheba said nothing as she just stood behind him and stared sadly.
King Dakota, not sparing her as little as a backward glance, swigged from his bottle again.
“Nosheba….”
“For how long will you keep doing this to yourself, King Dakota?” She whimpered. “For how long will you keep doing this to me and everyone around you? This lady….She betrayed you, cheated on you and the best you can do is push everyone away? Who knows if she’s out there, happy with some other lover of hers?”
“Nosheba…!”
“I’m carrying your son, King Dakota! I’m pregnant for you. Do you think I deserve this because of a traitorous lady? Why do you have to ruin my own happiness because of another? Do you think our son needs this?” She sniffled.
“I just want to be alone, Nosheba, that’s all!” Yelled the King.
“And for how long will you continue sending everyone of us away? For how long will you keep doing this to yourself? I’m not happy about this. No one is!” She had succeeded in forcing a tear out and took some steps closer to him.
“We should be celebrating the conception of our son, King Dakota” she spoke from behind.
“We should be having fun. Our banquet is tomorrow, but take a look at what’s happening. Is this really what you want for your son? Is this how you want the first banquet of your son to be celebrated? Do you even think he’d be happy with this? You should make a difference, please”.
With the tears now effortlessly strolling down her cheeks, she turned him around to fece herself. And seeing her tears, it had a little impact on the King.
“Please” she whimpered.
“I beg you to go back to the King you used to be – at least, for the sake of your son. You shouldn’t ruin this day like this. It shouldn’t be happening. At least, for his sake”. She paused and held his hands.
“Please….”
