CHAPTER TEN : MY MATE
WRITER'S POV
she knew the king was heading there and she decided to join him and chat as well so that she would remind him of her presence yet she didn't expect them to be kissing so intensely she knew it would surely lead to another thing but she felt happy knowing the king would be visiting and she would make sure to lay with him since it's very rare for him to touch her all these years and even if he does he would avoid getting her pregnant,
it was only because he was drunk on their wedding night did she get pregnant, yet she was informed on how he sleeps in queen Lucy's quarters most of the night or he would invite her over.
LUCY'S QUARTER
Rudolph sighed "what a drama queen she is" he said, "sure but you love her that way" Lucy said earning a glare from him and Lucy clamped her lips together looking away trying to hide her smiles which would have been a laughter Rodriguez stumped his feet "what is funny woman" he said with a frown on his face "hahaha… your expression was funny, I mean you married her of cause you should love her as well you know" she said still laughing at her annoyed husband while holding onto her stomach "I married her for the welfare of this kingdom" he retorted glaring at her "you married queen Ruth so that you can sit on the throne, you married queen Monica so as to help the people in trading so that the people won't starve and you married me as a payment for the help you rendered I do ask sometimes if you feel bad for not actually marrying someone out of love due to how compassionate you are inside apart from your cold side" she said as she sat down on her chair raising her hand to hold her chin while she placed her elbow on the table studying the man before her " I actually did" he answered sincerely " you did? Why haven't you talked about her and where is she, did she die" she said, saying the last words carefully so as not to hurt him but that made him glare at her "Lucy she can't die because I will always protect her no matter what" he said firmly and that made Lucy curious to know who would make him act this way and she felt sad because it wasn't her but she was still happy to be by his side.
Rodriguez saw how she felt somewhat sad for some time but she looked at him curiously "who is she I will like to meet her Riguez" she said honestly "you have actually met her before and you will still meet her when you look at your mirror because she is you Lucy, I would not have agreed to marry another wife but seeing you my heart squeezed and I felt our bond that was why I agreed to marry you" Rodriguez said honestly his face full of love as he stared at the woman before him, Lucy was surprised she had thought she was the only one who fell for him at the garden but she couldn't describe how happy she is to know that he felt the same way, she had always thought he was fond of her only "you were actually talking about me" she asked with a beautiful smile on her lips "yes and it will only be you because you are my mate" he said and she became confused a bit when he mentioned the word mate because Madeline had once said Rudolph was her mate " what is this mate thing all about" she asked "Lucy just know that we are meant to be I will explain it to you when my cousin's come ok" he said promising her "fine I will wait for you to tell me, but I will like to know why you had to marry Ruth to sit on the throne" she asked as she returned to her curious mode again "I am not actually the king's son instead his first son who was sent out of the palace when he was young begged me on his death bed to take his place and secure the throne while punishing those that killed his mother after framing her of trying to poison the late king, so I had to come in his guise and marry Ruth because she was the one that was promised to him as the first son and she is meant to be the queen so whoever amongst the late king's sons that marries her becomes king if her bethroth dies I had to marry her to avenge him since he was a kind hearted person" he explained stunning Lucy "so literally you are not the king's son nor is this your real look?" She asked "i am not his son and as for the looks it's complicated, I don't look like him as my features are the same except the age but I will explain later alright" he said expecting her to be scared and confused but all he could find in her was her usual curiosity and awe " ok you will tell me later but don't fail to do so" she said as she stared at his black eyes with her blue eyes "I promise to tell you everything then" he said sincerely "are you not wary of me love" he asked after pausing for a moment, "for some unknown reasons am not scared nor am I wary of you, but I had always known you were unique when you defeated the witches" she said with a thoughtful look on her face "you don't have to be no matter what because I will never harm you" he said cupping her face in his large palms, she nods and he kissed her slowly filled with emotions and when they broke the kiss Rodiguez ran his fingers in her hair kissing her forehead " you will get to know more and I will help you understand dear lucy" she smiled and nod.
