Me You

Rein stared at the gifts he received from his sisters, and a sweet smile formed on his delicate lips.

This King wasn't always a cold person, until his father, of course, ruined his life by killing his mother. The 1st prince was born from the Former queen's womb, while the 2nd prince was born out of wedlock. The former king decided that he would have another wife and married the 2nd prince's mother.

She died when Rein was the age of 12. Though she died in a peculiar way, which defamed her title as the Kind Wife into the...

Adulterous Slut

The Former Queen actually enjoyed being friends with her husbands' second wife, as all that truly mattered was her title.

Rein planned his life out after his mother's death, and it would go the way as it was supposed to, no matter what he had to do.

All that mattered was everyone who obeyed him, including his Pet.

Rein first heard of Leigh by a conversation Earl Jacobus was having with Duke Willtow about their commoner home lives.

"Leigh just turned nineteen! Her beauty resembles her mother heavily, she is the sweetest daughter I could have. Soon I have to arrange her marriage" Earl Jacobus said smoothly while holding a letter in his hand, Duke Willtow stared out the palace window, it was a bright afternoon. "She's no regular girl...how would that work?" He responded to his friend.

"I'm not sure, each day her powers seem to grow. Sometimes she has healing outbursts which draws heavy attention, not that it's hurting anyone...but it's dangerous regarding everyone else...Now that I think about it I might postpone her marriage" Earl Jacobus spoke worriedly.

This was 1 month ago

Rein had decided the Convalark Family had a blessed seed and their bloodline did not die out.

He was going to use her, but treat her as if she was a fragile tool to make sure the magic flowing through her veins would be used to produce another heir when he found a compatible match for his Pet.

Rein sat down on a small red armchair made of fire silk from a fire fairies maguc. His body felt soothed from the sitting he had done in that awfully tall chair. "I wonder what snacks she made?"

Leigh rubbed her tummy in a gluttonous manner. Bomba stared at his master wondering how he ended up with a girl like her.

Leigh was currently on her bed sitting comfortably, while Mimi sat at the edge of the bed uncomfortably, as she did not feel it was right to be so casual, this girl was also afraid if the King had walked in and saw what she was doing.

Mimi has already lost favor from the King, now all she had was Leigh, who's title was high in the ranking, but not as high in power. Mimi couldn't die, she had to take care of her mother, the person who meant the entire world to her, so next time she would do as she was told. Something Leigh was experienced in.

"That was a lovely meal Mimi, Thank you very much" Aleighya grinned, a strand of her brown hair fell on her face as she thanked the girl.

Leigh crossed her eyes to stare at the hair "I wonder if I should ask the King this question, and Mimi sit on the bed properly I don't want you to get a cramp" Leigh added onto her statement, her eyes unfocused on the strand and she glanced at Mimi who had now sat on the bed fully.

"Good, listen, What if I asked the King if he should cut his hair?" Leigh said with jazz hands, Mimi looked devastated when she heard her masters words.

Did she truly not know? Was she this sheltered from the world?

"Lady Leigh, do you truly not know why the King does not cut his hair?" Mimi spoke softly to make sure no one was around.

"I do not know, but now I do wish to k-" Leigh wasn't able to finish her question because a certain wench came into her room. Mimi regretted not closing the door when she should have.

Leigh was still on the rocks about this lady, now that she was confirmed the King's Potential mistress.

"Hello! I came to see you!" Her voice was awfully cheery, it almost sounded painful to the ears. Kubia was an excellent actor, but even Leigh could tell her motives from coming in here were disastrously wrong.

"I see," The young almond-eyed girl said with a blank expression. Leigh felt that she needed to question the girl for why she was here. The tension was already too heavy.

"Why have you come to see me?" Mimi was surprised at Aleighya's sudden question, Kubia smirked she turned around slightly and shooed her maids. The mischievous girl closed the door and the three of them remained in the room.

"I wanted to ask you a question!" Kubia skipped towards the bed, Mimi scooted over so the princess could join them, Leigh looked amused wondering what this girl was here to ask. Kubia hopped on the bed, it bounces a little. Bomba meowed, he was currently trying to sleep.

"Do you like the King by chance?"

Leigh couldn't believe the words that had just come out of this girls mouth, she had to be insane. Leigh has just met the King at least one day ago and in fact right now she despised the King, she honestly couldn't care less for him.

"No, I do not." She answered in a complacent tone.

Mimi tried her best not to giggle, Kubia smiled "Well that's good to know! Besides I want to learn more about you...if you don't mind?" Her pink hair shined against the sunlight, Kubia's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Perfect match for that cold king" ୧( ͡ᵔ 益 ͡ᵔ )୨

"I don't mind!" Leigh smiles, Mimi got off the bed from the left side, she felt this was her cue to retrieve more snacks for the two girls. "Great! First question, how old are you, Leigh?" Kubia had already begun the first common questions

"Nineteen...you?" Leigh felt embarrassed about the question for she was still very young

"Twenty-four! If you wanna know, the King is 1 year older than me." Kubia smiled at the younger girl

"I didn't wanna know, but thanks" Leigh briefly thought in her mind, she stared at Kubia's dress.

It was decorated with bubble gum pink bows and a carnation pink lace. Quite extravagant to Leigh's eyes.

"Second question! Do you know how long you'll be here?" Kubia was peering just in case Leigh would be in the kingdom with her and Rein, she had already learned of Leigh's title so she wondered if it would be a couple of months or so and the girl was gone.

"15 years" Leigh looked the woman in the eyes watching her expression. "R-Really?"

It wasn't that Kubia felt threatened, she was worrying on what Rein had planned for this girl. Though if she would be spending quite some here, she wouldn't mind being friends with the girl.

"Yeeeah.." She admittedly spoke

"Well looks like you have much to learn then!"

"Yep, looooots to learn"
