A Night With The King

“Oh my God? He sent her out of the kingdom? Patrick, you sent the king’s woman out of his kingdom?”

Lance silently listened when Roseline directed the question at Patrick, he wanted to hear his answer but the fucker didn’t say a word which got Lance angrier.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“He is out of his mind right now and is just here staring at me weirdly, he is broken, my king,”

Lance said. she was really concerned for Patrick, Lance would have been concerned too but after what he did, he couldn’t bring himself to care about his feelings, if Patrick cared about him, he would never have sent his woman away.

“I am more broken, Roseline, Sophie is pregnant, she is all alone and I don’t even know how to get her back, Patrick is my best friend, he should not be the one to break my family, he knew just how much that woman meant to me yet he sent her away, I just can’t stand him, I fired him and I don’t think I want him back anywhere near me,”

Lance concluded. He did need Patrick around him but he didn’t know if he could hold himself each time he saw his face and remember what he did to Sophie, especially since Sophie was still out there and he hadn’t found her yet.

“I understand how you feel, Lance, I know you are hurting but you got to see things from Patrick’s point of view, I am not in any way trying to defend what he did but he is so used to protecting you that he made a mistake, don’t throw him away from your side because of that, I am sure if you both put your heads together, you will find her sooner. He has been miserable for days now,”

Roseline pleaded on Patrick’s behalf. It was hard to forgive what he did when Sophie was still out there somewhere in the big country of Briscout. The only thing he knew about her whereabouts was where her plane departed to, he didn’t know anything else and three days of search had not yielded any result.

“I have been miserable too, I lost both my woman and my best friend on the same day, I have been trying to get my crazy brother off my back as that one is trying to take what’s mine and I have also been working hard to make sure the kingdom is running smoothly even though I am going through hell; I haven’t been able to sleep, how can I sleep when I don’t even know where my woman is and how she is doing. I am not okay, whatever Patrick is feeling is nothing compared to what his decision did to me,”

Lance let out angrily. His emotions were taking over him, he almost ended the call but he didn’t because of who the caller was, if it was someone else, he would have hung up.

“Again, I understand that but you gotta understand his fears too, I don’t know everything about your relationship with him but I do know he cares about your well-being, I am sure he has his reason for doing what he did, just listen to him, please,”

Roseline begged on Patrick’s behalf.

“I don’t know Roseline. I trusted Patrick, he knew just how much I love that woman, I was willing to give up the throne if that’s what it took for us to be happy,”

Lance spoke his truth. If it had come to that, he would have willingly given everything up just to keep his family together. Of course, that would happen because no one can take the throne away from him.

“Let’s make a deal, Lancelot, you talk things out with your man and I will make some calls and help you in locating your woman, I am sure we will find her, you don’t want to lose this man because with how miserable he looks right now, he might do something to hurt himself,”

The princess suggested. Lance took a deep breath, Patrick wasn’t the only one affected by their riff, this was the first major fight they had had since they became friends years ago, it felt empty without him, even though he wanted to be stubborn and tell her no, he gave in.

“Fine, I will be there, give me a few minutes,”

He said and hung up, he sent a message to his assistant, asking him to cancel every other meeting that he had except the one with Justin. He needed to be done with him once and for all so he couldn’t postpone the meeting with him. Lance decided to go on his own to the princess’s apartment in the city as he didn’t want to attract a crowd, so he changed into a casual outfit, took the car, and drove himself there. Once he was at her apartment complex, he called her and she came to get him.

“Can we agree that you won’t fight or hit him?”

the princess requested as they rode the elevator to her apartment.

“Yes, don’t worry, I am not a violent person,”

He promised.

“That’s good to know,”

The princess replied as she unlocked the door to the apartment and let him in, he saw Patrick the minute he entered. He stood up from where he sat, he looked sad and miserable which also mirrored how Lance felt.

“Your majesty,”

Patrick greeted and Lance glared at him.

“Do I look like I came here as a king? Fuck you, Patrick,”

He let out, walked up to him, and pushed him hard, forgetting for a moment the princess that he had made to the princess.

“Lance, you promised, no violence,”

The princess yelled. He lifted both hands in surrender.

“I am sorry for what I did Lance, I thought I was doing what was best but I made a mistake and hurt you,”

Patrick said in a remorseful voice.

“Yes you did, you idiot, if you had just waited for me, none of this would have happened, everything that happened is all your fault and if not for Roseline, I would not even be here, I still don’t know how I am going to find my woman and bring her back to the palace, nothing is working out because I am so used to you being with me, but seeing your face make me so mad because Sophie is still missing and I don’t know when and how to find her,”

Lance let out in frustration.
