The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"Edna, I just want to talk about how special you are again and again. I want to talk about it using every single chance I get." Killian started.

I raised a brow.

Where did all these words gush out from?

"When I felt the pull of my soulmate, I was skeptical. Edna, I have done so many bad things. To me, all those things didn't matter if it was for my own good. It was understandable from my point of view. Those things I did are still bad things, no explanation can change that. I thought I would be judged. I was prepared for that. However, you changed everything." Killian continued.

My ears reddened at Killian's praise.

Still, I wasn't willing to take all the credit. The things he was praising me for wasn't solely by my power.

What made me receptive to his experiences was the whole universe herself.

If I wasn't born in perilous times, things would be different.

If I didn't experience the apocalypse and the way humans break down for benefits, I wouldn't be this marvelous person Killian was describing.

If I lived in peaceful times, I will judge. I am not going to lie about that. I read some of the books that came from Earth's peaceful era.

Those times, killing someone was going to attract a prison sentence.

In this current time I am living through, murdering someone was still bad. Still, there were major differences between this time period and the ancient one.

During these times, the murderer would get away with any murder if he or she was secretive and careful enough.

Some people flaunt their murderer status too. Power and strength can shut mouths.

It wasn't like the time of old.

The experiences I went through shaped who I was. The only credit I have in all these is not breaking down or bowing backwards under pressure.

I opened my mouth, "You shouldn't thank me alone. I did something but it's not much. My experiences made me non-judgmental. I don't know what would have happened if I wasn't born in the apocalyptic times I lived through. I am just thankful that everything fits together for our good."

"True," Killian agreed, "Even with this, you are still a marvelous being. I thank God for creating you. I don't know what the future might have in store for me without your presence and I don't want to imagine it. Let's move to the next attraction." "Where are we going this time?" I asked curiously.

Killian chuckled, "I don't want to stress your legs too much so we are going to visit two places today. You are going to live here for a long while. You have all the time to see everything in this palace later. Now, I am going to take you to my garden."

"Sweet." I smiled.

Killian told me he was going to show me two attractions in this palace. I was satisfied so far.

I was having fun as we made our way to the royal garden.

The first place we went to made Killian share some parts of his story with me. It was marvelous.

We passed through many hallways, halls, rooms and the likes.

The palace was filled with bustle and life. We saw numerous people moving around.

I widened my eyes to take all these sights in.

On Earth, things like these was rare. The apocalypse landed tremendous damage on humanity as a whole.

"We are here." Killian announced.

A large glass door was before us.

Through the glass, I could see a hint of greenery.

Killian pushed the door and walked in.

I copied his actions.

The Royal garden was an open space. Beautiful butterflies were perching on some of the colorful flowers.

The sun was on its way back home.

The sun rays colored everything I could see with a reddish gold glaze. It added a magical element to the garden.

I took a deep breath and the lovely scent of enchanting flowers flew into my nose. The scent hanging over every space in the old garden was tantalizing and calming.

"It's so beautiful." I said with wonder.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"It is." Killian concurred.

The atmosphere threaded in everything around the royal garden was intoxicating.

I was losing myself in it.

Something jolted me out of my haze though.

The important things I should have kept in a visible part of my mind came to light.

When I was awaiting my fate in the tribute room, some girls were with me. I had forgotten them like a scum.

I didn't see those girls when I went into the court hall. I didn't know what their endings were and I felt like an horrible person for living my life as it bloomed while ignoring the situation they might have gotten into.

They told me about the terrible consequences tthat would appear if the king rejected them and I did the worst thing possible, I forgot them.

The guilt was eating at my heart, bit by bit.

"Killian, I have something to ask you." I bit my bottom lip, "Three girls were presented as tributes to you before I came into the court hall. Where are they? What happened to them?"

Killian tilted his head to the side, "Those girls? Since I didn't want them to be my concubines and being by my side was impossible, the people that presented them to me took them away. I don't interfere with what would happen after. This kind of thing is normal. In my defense, I can't change my decision because of the consequences that would be meted on those girls after I refused to accept them."

I could understand Killian.

If he accepted them because of pity or anything else, the girls would be between a rock and a hard place. Their people would want them to act like some kind of double agent. Their initial thoughts wouldn't matter. Their family or guardians would forcefully turn them into something evil.

Their fathers, uncles and guardians wouldn't aim low. Obviously, they didn't present those ladies to Killian to be an ordinary concubine or a bedwarming maid, those people want something bigger than all that.

They might even nurture the plan to turn Killian into a weak puppet King. Their eyes are all on the throne and the benefits it would bring.

I will admit the obvious fact, I was an hypocrite.

I don't really care about the previous girls that came to this palace and left with no results. Their fate had already be decided anyway.

The only people I cared to ask about were the three girls I made an acquaintance with in the tribute room.

"Is there a way you can bring those three girls to the palace?" I questioned, "I am not trying to force you to take them as your concubines or something. You can take them as maids, normal ones. I just don't want them to have a terrible fate because of your rejection. It's not like I don't understand your point of view. I do. I have a relationship with them and I can't stand by as they get crushed into smithereens."

"Okay, I will get it done." Killian smiled, "The demeanor and attitude of a Queen are showing bit by bit. God didn't choose wrongly for me. When it's time to be ruthless, you are ruthless and when it's time to be kind, you are kind. Edna, everything you do or say is making me fall deeper into this hole called love. What should I do?"
