His Queen From Two Worlds

The sounds of footsteps echoed throughout the living room of the ridiculously expensive penthouse. The old couple, clad in butler and maid uniforms, whom he appointed as servants, halted their work and bowed as he passed by them. He slightly nodded his head in acknowledgment, but the dark countenance on his face didn't change. The man started climbing the spiral staircase, leading him to the next floor. The old servants exchanged worried glances and felt sorry for the man. Seems like the young lady caused some trouble again. They sighed helplessly. The man walked faster, his long black overcoat fluttering. His magnetizing electric blue eyes looked towards the master bedroom. He opened the double-door bedroom without a noise. Watching the scene in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but open his mouth. All the anger, frustration extinguished and slowly the worry and tiredness started seeping into his body after seeing her safe and sound, sleeping like an innocent baby. His heart softened. He was basically useless whenever he saw her like that. The electric blue-eyed man went ahead beside the king-sized bed, letting out an audible sigh. Her angelic face had a peaceful expression, her long crimson-red hair sprawled on the pillow. The dark green sheet kicked out of its place, showing off her long smooth legs as she was wearing her navy-blue pajama T-shirt dress. One hand went under the pillow while the other was on her tummy. She didn't have any requirements as his future wife should have. She never took the rules and traditions seriously. Did he care? No. All he wanted was to have her. Not just her. The way she was. He wanted her. All the rules, traditions, and qualifications could go to hell for all he cares. He slightly bent down, balancing his weight on one hand on the bed while his other went to take a few crimson strands of her hair. The sight of her peaceful expression was more than enough to calm him down at any time. A fond memory of how she fought to wear PJs instead of a night dress came into his mind. He let out a throaty chuckle. Seriously, she and his grandma were good enough to break all the stereotypical rules. As soon as he touched her hair, the world spun around him, and he was laid on his bed. Staring at him was a pair of green eyes sparkling like dark green emeralds filled with mischief. His surprised expression came to calm in a mere second. Ha! What more could he expect? Only when they're alone like this, could he let his guard down. Giving her a stern gaze, he said" Aren't you too bold, my dear? " The lady gave a lazy chuckle, her voice still hazy from her sleep. " Isn't that the reason why I'm the love of your life in the first place? " He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before he opened them again" Still, what you did yesterday was dange– " " Shh!!!! " The green-eyed lady placed a finger on his lips, not letting him talk any further. Their gaze met each other orbs. " You can talk all you want after some time. Let's go to sleep for now " She took her finger back and cupped his cheeks. Her soft touches on his cheek made him lean for more. Finally, the exhaustion hit him, and it was still too early for her to wake, so he gave in to her wish like every other time. He kicked off his shoes, removed his long overcoat, took off his coat and tie and unbuttoned his collar buttons before entering the covers. He pulled the redhead closer to him, wrapping his arms around her, taking in her warmth and scent. The lady, too, wrapped her arms around him, hugging him like her favorite teddy bear which he had gifted when she was a child. In a matter of a few seconds, they both entered their dreamlands. Unknown to them, few people won money through a bet, while few simply laughed at how whipped their future king was. After two hours, the old servant couple heard footsteps coming from the main living room. The butler left whatever he was doing and went to aid his master. The blue-eyed man freshened up. He wore a pair of casual pants and a gray V-neck shirt, his dark ash-blonde hair lazily settled on his forehead. His whole body screamed from exhaustion. The butler walked forward and bowed" Would you like to have some coffee, your Highness? " The man took a seat on the sofa, turned his head and replied" Yes ". " What would you like to have for your breakfast, your highness? " " Maybe l should cook" The future king was about to get up but stopped, listening to the butler. " I understand his highness's wishes to cook for the lady, but his highness arrived just a few hours ago and handled the situation. You're tired, your highness. If Lady Barclay knows that you cooked for her, the lady will feel guilty " The man threw his head back onto the sofa and replied with a soft sigh" Fine" The butler felt relieved. The crown prince and his fiancée would exhaust themselves for each other to the point of collapsing, sometimes just to spend time with each other or to make something special for each other. The only way to stop them was by talking about how the other would feel. The man let out a tired sigh, taking a deep breath next. It had been a hectic week for him. He went on a business trip which was originally ten days, but he worked past his limits to return soon. It was early in the morning when he reached the airport. His security team reported to him that his future wife was in trouble, more like the one who created the trouble risking herself yet again. Taking care of it, he started searching for her. When the butler informed him that she had come to the penthouse, he immediately went there and saw her sleeping like an innocent baby. He was never ashamed of her. The world could see all her antics, and he had no problems with that. But there were people waiting like a predator to eat up its prey, and he would do anything to protect her, to protect them, to protect their bond. It was his promise to her, and he would keep it at all costs. " Your Highness, your Coffee" The familiar voice of the butler woke him up from his thoughts. " Hm," he said, taking the medium-sized ceramic white cup. The old butler bowed once again and turned around to leave. The aroma of the strong coffee entering his nostrils started relaxing his tense body a bit. He really needed this cup of coffee. He took a sip. Just like how he liked strong, aromatic and bitter. His grandmother wouldn’t appreciate him having coffee the first thing in the morning. But he needs the caffeine in his body. By the time he completed enjoying his coffee, he heard loud footsteps from the staircase. As if trying to gain attention. He knew who was coming down yet, he didn't turn around, trying to show he was angry. He also knew he would utterly fail, but he would try nonetheless. He would probably become a clown again, but that was fine. There was only him and her. The footsteps finally stopped behind the sofa he was relaxing on. Her slender, fair arms wrapped around the back of his neck. Her calming floral scent entered his nostrils, calming his senses. He was so tempted to touch her hands and pull her into his lap, but he suppressed the temptation. The lady lowered her head to rub her face affectionately on his temples. He full well knew what kind of power she held on him and knew he could never resist her. But this time she worried him too much. " I'm sorry" the redhead finally said in a mellowed tone. " What are you sorry for? " He tried asking in his authoritative crown prince tone, but he couldn't. He could use that tone on anyone, yet he could never use that on her. " I'm sorry that l worried you too much" she replied at the same time, hiding her head at his neck and shoulder jointing point. The ash blonde finally let himself touch her. He held her hand which was around his neck. Knowing what he was trying to do, she stood up and walked around the sofa, landing on his lap. " Ray" she called out his name, softly burying her face in the hollow of his neck. " Zelda" he sighed softly, embracing her, allowing himself into her crimson locks. The couple felt bliss in each other's arms. Ray felt his body relaxing with her scent and her warmth, while Zelda felt sleep taking over again. They were so lost in their world that they didn't hear the old maid entering the room. " Good morning, Lady Barclay, His Highness. Breakfast is ready " The prince lazily opened his eyes. The elder maid bowed, waiting for their reply. " We will be there in a few minutes. " " Yes, Your Highness. " The maid left. The prince continued rubbing her silky-smooth hair. " Let's go and eat," he said slowly, trying to coax her. " No. Let's sleep" she mumbled, pressing herself on his chest. " You're not skipping breakfast. We can sleep after eating if you want." The prince tried to make her agree. " Nuh-huh. We have work. You have to meet Grandma, and I have a show to do tonight. So let me sleep more" the redhead replied. The crown prince sighed. He knew it wasn't going to be easy. " Listen to me, okay? I'll attend your show tonight " Zelda nodded her head, still her eyes closed, and her arms around him didn't loosen. Knowing exactly what she wanted, the electric blue-eyed man sighed before he stood up, carrying her in his arms. " You act like a baby sometimes" Ray said, adjusting her weight. Zelda placed her face on his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeats. " Do you mind? " She asked, snuggling into his chest. " Nope ", the crown prince replied in a second, stepping into the dining room. The servants secretly smiled at the couple, seeing how their future king was carrying his future queen like a baby. Except for her, who had the power to make him do things that no king probably would ever do? " Then all the more reason for me to act like a baby" the redhead cheerfully said. Ray bent down slowly to let his fiancée sit on the chair. Zelda gave a big smile happily which made the crown Prince smile. He gave her a kiss on her forehead, ruffling her hair. He sat on the other chair before looking at the servants to serve the breakfast. They both started eating in silence. The only sounds of cutlery could be heard. " So? "The ash-blonde hair was the one to break the silence first. He raised his head to look at the lady who troubled him as soon as he landed back in his country. " Are you going to tell me what exactly happened there?" The green-eyed girl was about to take a sip of her juice when she heard his voice. She looked at him, her lips touching the glass, her dark forest green eyes bigger than normal, giving her a cute, adorable look. But Ray knew better than that. He knew that she was far from what she looked, but still, he couldn't help but melt. His little seductress when she wishes to be. " Yes, I will" the future Queen secretly smirked, watching him getting flustered but hiding it very well. Except for her, no one in the room could see his blush. He saw her smirk and knew she was teasing him. He let out a cough, furrowing his brow, a signal between them not to overdo it. " I just went out to see a car race. I swear I didn't even think of racing" she hurriedly explained. " What changed your mind? " He asked, his blue-orbed gaze still locked on her. " That ......." Zelda rubbed her forehead and sighed. She couldn't just say that she recklessly accepted a challenge. No matter how hard she tried, that side of hers was the active, risk-taker for fun, she couldn't control it. Give her a lecture on how dangerous it was, she would make notes of the lecture because she felt bored. Tie her up, she would release herself and sneak out of the place. The only way to stop her was to make sure she was tired or when she fell ill. Zelda gave a sheepish smile at him, awkwardly trying to set her hair. " It was a challenge " Ray paused eating, giving her a look. Of course, he knew how hard it was for her to hold herself back. He nodded to her to continue. She brightened up immediately when she felt no dangerous aura emitting from him. " I sneaked into the car race and dragged Lily with me. I randomly commented on an awful car and the results were worse. They heard me and demanded an apology. Lily apologized to them, but they demanded us to spend the rest of the night with them as an apology" Ray narrowed his eyes, his look becoming icy frost. A cold dangerous aura started emitting from him. ' HOW DARE THOSE BASTARDS!!?? " He thought. People might not know who she was because of her disguise. Still, they had lecherous thoughts about her and that was enough for him to destroy them. " When we said no, they challenged us" the redhead continued" And you know how I react when someone challenges me" she said at the end, very meekly, noticing his dark aura. " So, you decided to race, destroy the whole track and your opponent then run away? " " No! " Zelda gave a pitiful, wronged look. " I didn't want to run away, but circumstances made me. I couldn't keep my disguise, so I had to make a scene and escape from there. It helped me to take out my frustration on them as well" The prince gave a deadpan look while his staff went stupefied hearing their future king's and queen's exchange. He knew what she was talking about. The whole country was very well aware of how badly the crown prince spoiled their future queen, yet sometimes they could never get used to seeing them like that. If someone bullied their future Queen, that would be the end of their lives. If someone looked down on her, he would make sure that would be the end of their reputation. If someone tried to ruin the lady's reputation, they could only try, because he would surely stop them, but he would also destroy their reputation and career without any mercy. Not as if the future Queen couldn't defend herself. It's just because the future King is too protective of her so much so that he couldn't let her bother with these morons. Not to mention her parents. The staff understood how terrifying their crown prince was, but what they didn't know was that it was just the tip of the iceberg. Poor souls didn't know that once when someone tried to poison her, he sent that person directly to work with the most poisonous creatures in the world. The main butler who went aside when the breakfast started returned. They had almost completed their breakfast. Ray stood up completing his breakfast when he felt the familiar presence of the main butler. The butler straightened up again "Your Highness, there was a call from the palace. Her majesty wishes to see you and Lady Barclay and stay for lunch at the palace " Ray turned to look at Zelda, who paused drinking the freshly squeezed orange juice when their eyes met. Her eyes seemed larger than normal with the mischievous gleam shimmering in her pupils. The blue orbs quickly turned away before the redness could spread. " Inform grandmother that we will be arriving there in an hour. " " Yes, Your Highness. " Ray turned around to talk with his fiancée but paused when he saw her in the same position. ' f**k! ' He cursed internally. " You heard him. We need to get going soon" he hurriedly said before speeding up towards the stairs. Zelda, who was innocently having her juice, finally kept the glass on the table, her lips curling up into a naughty but evil smirk. OH! How much she loved the power she had on him!
