Chapter 259: Pay attention (4)
Natalie’s amusement in Vivienne announcing she would take other men did not last long as she now worried about Darius losing his spot as king.
That couldn’t happen as then all her hard work would be for nothing.
Natalie didn’t care about Darius. What she cared about was the king. It would be hard to seduce the next king after carrying a child for Darius, and Natalie didn’t want to start over getting anyone’s attention.
Natalie patiently waited for Darius to finally let Vivienne leave. "She must still be speaking out of anger. She will vote for you. Her anger should not cloud her judgment now and cause her to lose her seat as queen. Should I speak to her?"
"Now is not the best time for you to speak to Vivienne. You must avoid her and remain out of sight to keep our child safe. I will set Vivienne right," Darius replied.
"I shall follow your wishes and stay away from her. Forgive me, but I am worried about what she said. Regardless of what anyone says, you make a fine king. No one would ever be able to replace you," said Natalie.
"No one will replace me. There will be a war in the palace if they are so foolish as to claim I am no longer the king. The vote won’t matter," Darius said since he wasn’t giving up his title. "I will always be your king, and you will always be the woman of the king."
Darius now realised he needed to go to the court to announce Natalie’s new status. He had been avoiding the court since he didn’t want to hear about the voting, but now, he had to go there.
"I am honoured to be at your side," Natalie replied.
