The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"Sophia, let's go. We shouldn't delay the king anymore." Rose said.

After Rose finished speaking, the two of them looked at me pointedly. Rose must have been impatient with my inaction.

She wrapped her hand around my wrist.

Her hand was cold but the smile on her lips was warm. I ignored the king completely.

Rose dragged me away from the entrance of the amusement park before heading in a direction.

I tried to memorize the route we used. We finally arrived at our destination.

Our destination was a palace. It wasn't the queen's palace and it wasn't the place the king brought me to when I just arrived here.

This palace should belong to Rose.

Rose stopped holding my hand. She took a few steps forward before opening the door to the palace.

Two female warriors were standing on each side of the door.

"Come in." Rose said before swimming in herself. I went into the hall.

The hall we came into was beautiful. One of the walls was connected to a very beautiful garden.

The garden was filled with pretty aquatic plants. Some of those plants glowed.

There was a low table in the center of the hall. This table was made from an unknown material. It reflected the light beautifully.

A few people were already sitting around the low table. Those people were women.

I glanced at them briefly before turning my eyes away. I don't know if they were the other wives of the King or if they were just Rose's friends.

Rose walked to where the low table was and took a seat. She smiled at the three other women that were at the table.

Her smile was bright. It didn't look like it was fake.

"Are you going to keep standing there and staring?" Rose asked.

Her words weren't as sweet as it had been when she was talking to the King.

Rose said the tea party would be hosted for around 30 to 40 minutes at most. I hope she wasn't lying. I would try to trust her this time.

I went to the low table and took a seat. I gave the other participants in this tea party ample space.

Rose opened the large box next to her seat. She brought a set of utensils out.

She placed the utensils on the table before sliding it in my direction.

I grabbed the cup and placed it in front of me. There was a kettle on the low table. The cup Rose gave me and the cups the others were using was very similar to each other. The kettle was made with the same materials.

I didn't make any move to touch the kettle.

"Who is she?" One of the ladies that had been sitting around the table before Rose and I arrived asked.

This lady has pretty green hair. The second lady had black hair and the last one was bald.

Her bald head didn't look to abrupt. It suited her quite well.

"She is the new woman the king set his eye on." Rose snorted.

"Welcome. What is your name?" The lady with green hair turned to me.noveldrama

"My name is Sophia." I replied.

I kept my face expressionless.

"Why is she acting like she is forced to be here?" The bald lady questioned.

I shot a scalding look in her direction, "I was forced to be here."

I didn't address her with any respect. Since I was uncomfortable, I was ready to make

my opponents uncomfortable too. Misery loves company after all

"You have a sharp mouth." The lady with the bald head said.

"Yes, I do. You are not so bad yourself." I replied.

"Enough of this. Rachel, you know you are bigger than this. You are just giving Sophia

what she wants." Rose intervened.

I looked at her coldly before turning my eyes away.

This tea party was as boring as the word itself. I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Rose grabbed the kettle.

She shook her wrist and the kettle shook along with her actions.

"The tea in this kettle has finished." She said before turning to me, "Sophia, why don't

you make another kettle of tea for everyone?"

So, this was her trap?

I won't lie, I was expecting something more hardcore.

Rose was asking me to make tea when she knows I don't have any knowledge on how

to make any of the cuisine the people under the ocean liked.

I was not going to sign myself up for embarrassing.

"No." I responded.

Suddenly, Rose slammed her hand on the table, "Sophia, have some respect! Your are terrible without it."

"I would like to say the same to you." I chuckled.

"Why is she acting like she has the world on her palm?" The bald woman retorted

My eyes lingered in her.

What's up with her? She was acting too obsessed. It was not like I owed her something in the past.

"Since the king has taken a fancy to her, I wouldn't expect her to be humble. She used unethical ways to get the King's attention and now she's flaunting." Rose grumbled under her breath.

Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

I didn't seduced the king so her jab was painless. I didn't want to waste my saliva in a confrontation regarding this.

I rose to my feet, "Since there is no tea and nobody's willing to make another kettle, I

can confidently say that this tea party has come to an end, right? Can I leave now?

Unlike you guys, I don't have all the time in the world to play."

My words were mostly questions but I didn't need their answers.

Rose's lips curved downwards in displeasure. The other ladies didn't stop me or say anything.

Their faces didn't look too good though. I didn't mind their ugly faces.

I turned around to leave.

"Why are you letting her go like that?" An unfamiliar voice asked.

I matched it to the third lady that didn't speak when I was sitting at the low table.

"The king would be furious if I do anything now. Let's wait till she loses favor." Rose replied.

The evil in her voice was blatant.

I left the hall confidently but I had to stop moving a few steps later.

Everywhere was unfamiliar. I would never go back into that suffocating hall to ask for

directions from Rose and her cohort for many reasons.

Firstly, I didn't want to ask people like Rose for help.

Secondly, Rose would not help me. She would rather trample me into the mud if I was in an helpless situation.
