The Queen Rules

Chapter 9

"I am so glad that you have reclaimed your throne my highness. It gives me so much pleasure to see your beautiful body there on the throne. I am honoured to stand in front of you." Glenn, one of the many stupid cum shocked men in the crowd said. I smirked and nodded.

Chansey, got up from her throne and bowed before saying,"My lady, what shall happen to the king who has lost all of his kingdom and pride in front of your might?"

I thought for a moment and then stated,"Bring on the wounded king." All my women ministers smiled as they must have pretty much guessed what was about to happen, but according to them. I had different plans today.

Minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching. I plastered a smile on my face and leaned more on the throne. Wow, the throne feels more softer now after the war.

With Chansey, came in a handsome face which had some medicine applied on various parts of it. King Arthur took prideful steps towards me  and all the time, his face was blank.

"My lady," Chansey said and pointed towards Arthur while bowing down and making her way back towards her chair. I nodded and raised my one eyebrow while trying to read the king's mind.

A mixture of hurt, anger, disappointment, shame, confusion, was all I could read through his mind.

Let's play the game queen Nathalia!

"Welcome King Arthur, or just Arthur. This is the main hall of the royal palace of the very traditional kingdom of Lavaneia. The kingdom which is being ruled by a fiery queen. You challenged us in your overconfidence that you will overpower a queen very easily. But when women slay, they tear apart every man."

His face was still blank as he kept listening. I smirked and continued,"Now let's come straight to the point. It will be announced soon in your kingdom that they have their very first queen as well. And now since, you are dethroned as a king, I am thinking of what to do with you?..."

To add the effects, I started scratching my forehead. Mentally, I have already decided what to do.

"Will you be my slave?" As soon as those words reached his ears, his face snapped up towards me. The expression of shock was glowing out of his face. "Wh...what?" Poor man could only speak that?!

I chuckled a bit and said,"Yes, my slave. Will you be?" He cleared his throat and sweat drops started forming on his forehead. He opened up his mouth to speak many times, but couldn't utter a single word.

"I...I wou..would be...glad if..I a..am your slav...slave."

My eyes bulged out of their sockets and I looked up at his face immediately. There was the word 'serious' written there everytime. I gulped down my saliva and kept staring at his face.

"Ohhh I see." So he is actually honest about this. Well, then let me reward his honesty. After all, my decision is already fixed.

Time for the pow vow queen.

Without thinking much, I got up from my throne and started heading towards the wounded man. He tensed up and hesitated. I had a evil smile on my face, as I kept inching closer to the man, I admire.

Oops! Did I say admire? Darn, the truth came out.

In seconds, I was standing right in front of his face. Catching hold of his wrist, I started pulling him towards my throne. Hesitation rolled out of his words as he tried to resist. "Wh..where are you taking me..my lady?"

I couldn't hide the small grin when those words 'my lady' came from his mouth. They felt like a feather.

When we were standing in front of my throne, I turned towards the crowd and gradually, Arthur turned too. Chansey and Claire were holding back their laughters. I smiled while looking at them, shaking my head mentally on their stupidness.

"People!" I suddenly screamed and everybody had their attention on me. Arthur's hand was shivering under my grip and I tried my best not to smirk at that.

I cleared my throat and continued,"It's rightly said that more the minds, better the result. I guess our kingdom requires that rule to be applied in this royal palace."

The 'ohh we can't control our laughter' Chansey and Claire suddenly had their faces serious. Not only them, the people standing in the crowd too were confused as to what their powerful queen was saying.

Well, those shocked faces will turn soon into more shocked ones in no time.

"So...add one more throne next to mine, as I, Queen Nathalia, declare Arthur Stevenson, the new king of this kingdom. With large amount of happiness, I present you your king people."

If shock wasn't enough for Chansey, she stood up at the speed of light. Claire too got up from her throne at once and stared at me for endless moments. Plenty of gasps could be heard from the crowd, and everyone was too shocked to say anything.

"What?" I heard a faint noise next to my right ear and I looked there to find an astounded Arthur, whose face turned completely blank.

"Yes, you are now the king of this kingdom. More importantly, you are my king as well." I winked at the end and a huge smile covered the handsome man's face. He hugged me immediately and I wasn't taken aback by this.

Although when he picked my up and swirled me around, I was surprised for sure.

"Ok, keep that for the alone time." I whispered in his ear and he grinned. I smiled and straightened my royal gown. He brought me down and we faced the crowd again. Everyone had the same faces. Except for Chansey, who was more shocked than before.

The throne was set up and now, 2 royal thrones laid next to next.

"Come on King Arthur."

And with our backs faced towards the thrones, we sat on them at the same time, and I mentally grinned like a cheshire cat.

This, ladies and gentlemen, are your king and queen.
