The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"Who is this?" The man that approached us questioned.

His eyes settled on my body. His gaze stayed longer than I would have liked.

My lips were still clamped shut.

Maddox was a little bit uncomfortable.

He glanced at me before turning back to the person he referred to as a royalty.

"This is just one of the slaves I bought from my source on land." Maddox replied in an humble manner.

I observed the new arrival carefully. This man should be the King of the merfolk.

Even if he wasn't, he was certainly part of the royal family.

Maddox was uncomfortable with this man's presence and I was feeling the same.

I planned to fight my way out of this place once the opportunity appears. Getting involved with people that control so much power like the man before me wasn't in my plans.

Madam Tayo, Mr Blake and the theater troupe had given me trauma regarding people in power. This trauma was enough to last me for the rest of my life.

"A slave? Interesting." The King of the merfolk said.

Maddox bowed at a 90° angle, "Your majesty, if there isn't any other thing you need me for, I would like to take my leave."

The King's eyes were glued to my body, "There is no rush to do that. I want her."

"What?" Both Maddox and I said the questioning word at the same time.

The King had dropped a bombshell.

I was surprised. What I didn't want was coming true before my eyes.

I don't know if the blue pearl I swallowed earlier was responsible for the way I didn't choke to death while speaking. Sadly, I wasn't really in the mood to investigate this matter deeply. This King newfound interest in me was more nightmarish.

"I said I want her." The king repeated.

"Yo-your majesty." Maddox stammered, "She is a slave. She is not fit for you."

The King looked at Maddox with a half smile, "I think I would be enough to judge who is fit for me, right?"

"Y-your majesty. Things are not like that, I ju—" Maddox began.

The King held his right hand up, "No need to be long-winded. I want her to be mine, that's all."

Maddox opened his mouth but he couldn't say anything.

"Or, are you trying to go against me?" The King's eyes narrowed.

"I will never do that sort of thing." Maddox replied in a hurry.

His face had drained of any color and his lips were pale.

A smile appeared on the King's lips abruptly, "That's what I thought."

"Your majesty, I will take my leave now." Maddox stared at me unwillingly.

After his last glance, he left resolutely.

I was completely speechless in this situation.

Maddox paid a considerable price for me but he lost everything. There was no way he

would ask for compensation from a member of the royal family.

It seems Micheal and his accomplice wouldn't get the last payment.

My lips curved upwards slowly. I wasn't in a good position myself but I was happy to see Micheal get unlucky.

The King and I maintained our silence for a while.

I didn't know what I want to say to him.

I locked eyes with the King.

A flame of hope was ignited in my heart.

I wanted to ask the King to let me go. The chances of my request being turned down was high but I still wanted to try.

What if the King agreed?noveldrama

I would not let that little percentage of success go because of my pessimistic overview of the current situation.

"Your majesty, I was forcefully sold to this place. My people want me back. Please, let me go." I pleaded.

I tried my best to put myself in a vulnerable state. I wanted to evoke his pity in any way

I can.

"I am afraid your request can't be granted. I am sorry." The King said with a sigh.

I froze.

The King was acting like he didn't have the power to send me back to the surface.

His attitude disgusted me.

I stopped my pretense and looked at him coldly.

The thought of pretending to the end so this man would let his guard down crossed my mind.

Unfortunately, the ardent interest in his eyes persuaded me to trash the thought.

This man obviously didn't want to release me.

I looked at myself critically.

I can't even find what aroused the interest of the merfolk king. I wasn't at my best.

Even if I was, I didn't think I had the capability to attract a big fish like this alien before

me.

This wasn't me trying to talk down on myself. I just know my limits.

This man was the King of a whole race. I don't know if there are other kings like him under the ocean. It wasn't like he would have not seen any alien from the surface before.

"Don't look like that." The King cooed.

Goosebumps rose on my skin and I swam away from him.

The distance I covered was little bit it showed my attitude.

"Are you going to keep standing there? We have to return back home." The King said

in a considerate voice.

My tone was as chilly as the winter wind, "My home is on land."

"I don't know if you are hungry or tired. We shouldn't waste more time here." The King ignored my words entirely.

My face darkened.

This man was trickier than I had thought.

He was right about one thing though. There was no way I would be able to survive on

my own in this current situation.

The blue pearl the previous alien gave me wouldn't feed me or provide a place for me

to rest. I have to follow this man's lead for now.

I moved back to where he was.

Although I was giving in this time, my face didn't look good. I made sure he knew that

I wasn't happy with anything that was happening right now.

This man had the power to kill me but I wasn't afraid of death. After everything I have been through, death might be a relief.
