My Emotionless Goddess

“Justin Reigns, you are under arrest for stealing my heart and soul.”Justin heard the ever sweetest voice ring in his ears. A huge smile plastered on his handsome face. Her words were sweet like honey making his whole body smell of sweetness. Her voice resembled a sweet melody played by a zither creating a sweet cello.

“Am sorry sweetheart , i give you permission to cage me.” justin replied. He could see that his wife was in a good mood. “Oh trust me i will, i will take your heart, body, mind and soul into hostages. Then i will own every part of you, not even a strand of your hair will be left without being painted me.” Miranda replied leaning close and kissing Justin’s temple.

Justin was pleased by her actions. He obediently sat and enjoyed his wife’s hands and mouth all over him.” Are you ready?” Miranda asked after pulling away. It was about time justin left to the secret crowning arena. Even though all the necessary arrangements had been made, Miranda was still afraid. She was afraid that things would go wrong at the crowning ceremony. If that happened, she was not sure whether Kiel and the others would be able to keep the king protected. She wanted to be there with them but it was not possible. She had to stay behind and safeguard the palace. If the rebels managed to seize the palace, even if the king was still alive, it would be difficult to take it back. The palace had all important files of the kingdom. it also guarded secrets that would be disastrous if it fell in the hands of the wrong people.

‘Don’t worry hun, I’ll be fine. Trust me, i will come back to you in one piece. I wouldn’t dare to die on you.” Justin jokingly said earning a smack on the shoulders by Miranda. ” Don’t say such inauspicious things.” she reprimanded him. After chatting and saying their goodbyes, Miranda was extremely reluctant to part with justin. Justin had to coerce her repeatedly and assured her more than ten times that he would come back safely. He would protect himself. She finally let him go. She escorted him to his entourage.

Miranda hugged her father and wished him good luck. It was the very first time she took the initiative to hug her father, making the king extremely happy. ” I love you father, please come back to me safely.” she whispered in his ears and the king could not control his tears. He let them flow freely. His happiness knew no bounds. At last, he was able to hear the words he had been longing to hear from his daughter. Looking up, he smiled gently, his eyes shining like broken pieces of mirror.

The father and son duo finally left the palace. Nikolai, who had been hiding, emerged and walked towards miranda. ” Reluctant to let your lover boy go? Then why don’t you just join them?” Nikolai asked amused. He could not believe that the no nonsense lady who was known as the demoness or the emotionless goddess in the business world could soften up for a man. It seemed that Justin was the wine that softened her hard bones.

“Why do you like poking your nose in my affairs? don’t you have something better to do?” Miranda questioned angrily. The man was addicted to pissing her off every time they met.

” Why are you being so grumpy like an old woman? I just came to give you an honest suggestion .” Nikolai replied nonchalantly.

” Did I ask you for your shitty suggestion?” she was fuming mad. Actually she was not angry with Nikolai, she was just frustrated and paranoid. Her anger had nothing to do with him, she knew that she was dealing with her issues by transferring them to Nikolai.

“Easy there tigress, i did not come here to argue with you. I have something important to tell you.” Nikolai says, his voice and expressions serious this time. There wasn’t a single trace of his earlier playfulness.

” I’m listening.”

“Let us talk in my car.” Nikolai said, gesturing her to his car. Miranda could tell that whatever he intended to say was serious. She did not fully trust him but this man had proved to be helpful in their earlier missions. He had provided them with important intellect that enabled them to ambush several of the rebel hideouts.

She followed him without questioning to his car. Nikolai held the door for her, she was after all the princess and the future ruler of this country. After they both settled, Nikolai did not waste any more time and spoke. ” The queen at the banquet will be an impostor. I have made plans to capture the queen and lock her and replace her with one of our own people.”

Miranda was surprised to hear that. That was a dangerous move on his side. If discovered, he could lose his life. ” If the rebels get to know of your betrayal, they could kill you.” Miranda stated plainly. Nikolai chuckled, ” you should be worried about yourself and your friends. Your identity is bound to be exposed today, i think you should worry more about yourself princess.

” Are you sure your replacement can be trusted? She could be in cahoots with the queen. You know we can’t overlook that matter. The queen is cunning, are you sure your cover has not been blown?” Miranda asked. She just wanted to be sure. She liked to be in control of everything.

” Are you doubting my abilities, your highness?” Nikolai asked in a mocking tone, making Miranda roll her eyes on him.

“why are you doing this?” Miranda couldn’t control her curiosity and asked.

” Doing what?” Nikolai decided to play dumb despite understanding what she meant.

” Why are you helping us? You should be working with the rebels to usurp the throne.” she blatantly asked, not trying to coat her words.

” Don’t get me wrong, your highness. I am not helping you, i am helping myself.” Nikolai replied.

” Whatever reason there is, thank you. I will count on you to protect justin since you will be attending the ceremony.” Since he was not ready to open up, Miranda did not probe anymore.

” You don’t need to tell me that, I will always protect my…”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
