King Jasper

Chapter 2 - Jasper

Zipping my pants up I looked over at the blonde who was trying to make herself look presentable. She was a tiny thing and very short, too short for my preference but I could not say no to an invitation. Especially with the event my mother planned for me downstairs, I needed a way to release the stress that was building up.

The blonde walked over to me and attempted to kiss my lips, but before she could I turned my head slightly causing her to peck my cheek. I noticed a blush starting to form on her chest, "you can leave now." I muttered out. She looked saddened but walked out of the random room I had picked. The little maid was not allowed in my bedroom, nobody but me was allowed in my space.

Running a hand through my hair I let out an annoyed sigh before making my way downstairs. I was already running late and I am sure my mother would have my head for it. The music is light as I make my way through one of the side doors, the room packed with ladies. I usually do not mind a room full of ladies, I actually prefer it. However, tonight is the night I am supposed to choose a queen.

The thought of having to live and share my life with someone repulsed me. I like my own space. The advisors though had other plans, I could not disagree with them as I knew being the King required a Queen. It was a rule made before I was even thought of. Which does not make sense because the Queen has no authority anyways, it is just a title and opportunity to look pretty. 

Making my way through the crowd, the ladies part as if I am their God. In a sense, I guess I am. Mother came into view as I make my way up to the throne, her glare shooting deadly holes through me. I knew that in her mind she would want to reprimand me later for not being on time but even she knows she is not able to do anything about it. I am almost King and she will be loosing her title as Queen at the end of the Summer.

"Mother." I nodded, looking at her with a face that showed I do not give a fuck that I am late. She just sat in her throne with her resting bitch face as she nodded towards me. Even if she did dare to reprimand me, she would never do it in front of the Kingdom. Once I reached the top of the platform I turned around, looking at the dolled up faces in front me. There are many women here tonight, younger and older. As my eyes sweep around the room nobody catches my eye, they all look the same. Hair dolled up, way to much makeup covering their faces, and most of them wearing the brightest dresses I have ever seen.

The women noticed me standing in front of them before I could say anything. They silenced themselves slowly, looking towards their King in anticipation. Once everyone was quiet the orchestra quit playing, allowing me to speak. 

"Welcome ladies, it is an honor to have you all in my palace. As you know, my coronation to be King is coming at the end of the summer and in order to be the best I can be, I need a queen." Smiles wash over the crowd, their need to be seen by the King was heightening as I am sure their need to be Queen was as well. "Tonight will be a fun night, please enjoy yourselves while I make my way around to meet you all." I added a smile, after finishing the script that I memorized from one of the advisors. With that simple smile half of the ladies in the room looked as if they were going to pass out.

Let the fun begin I sarcastically thought while internally rolling my eyes.

A few hours had gone by and I was completely annoyed. I was becoming restless as I tried to finish the conversation I was having with a redhead. Her nose was too big for her face, it almost took up the entire center of her round face. She was tall but with a lanky build. That quite frankly is not something I enjoyed. I preferred a female with meat on her bones, so that when we fuck I do not break her. 

I have spoken to what I believe is half of the quests. I do not stay interacting long with a lady if she is not stirring anything up inside of me. Most of the conversations I had to pull myself away from due to the women being so talkative. As they spoke to me they did not sound normal, it was as if they were following a script of their own. The unnaturalness of it all annoyed me. The night would be ending soon and if I did not find a Queen tonight then the advisors will pick one for me and that is definitely something I do not want.
