UNSETTLING

Special kept adjusting her gown as she exited the room with King Derek who was by her side, grasping her fingers in his. There she was! Special muttered to herself absolutely nothing like me! The light in complexion damsel looked beautiful by all standards.

The Princess immediately got up as King Derek approached, bowing her self to his authority. She wore a cream colored robe like gown with glittery stones as accessories. Her jewelry depicted her royal status as she couldn't be mistaken for s commoner. Her fair in complexion skin glowed as the light in the shone on her.

"My darling" King Derek pulled her into a hug.

"Good afternoon My king" She responded meekly and softly.

"Special please meet Princess Cleopatra" Derek introduced his younger sister. Special bowed her head and found Derek raising her chin up.

"Apart from me, do not bow your head for any mortal man in this world."

"My king who is she?"Cleo asked wondering who she might be.

"Cleo meet my Queen, my pride and my Wife" Derek declared boldly beaming with smile. Special suddenly lifted her head up and her heart soared in joy.

"Wow, My Queen its a pleasure to meet you" Cleo bowed before Special who pulled her for a hug.

"The pleasure is mine. Welcome Princess. Have you settled in?" Special asked wanting to make her as comfortable as she ought to be and prove she is a great host.

"Oh its no bother but My orderlies and stewards will get that done. Besides I just came to see my brother who refused to tell me that he is married on phone." Cleo rolled her eyes at the king who took a seat on the cushion watching the two most important women in his life.

"My apologies,its my fault. I hastily dragged him into this union and he did not have the time to inform anyone" Special said as she also took a seat besides Derek who quickly held her fingers planting kisses on them.

Sitting opposite the both of them, Cleopatra smiled at her brother.

"Very typical of my brother to teach you to make excuses for him" She told Special.

"That's not true. She was just covering me but the truth is that from the moment I laid eyes on her, I became the most greedy man alive. I wanted all of her. Being married to her, am selfish because I want to keep her all to my self."

The trio bursted into laughter at the same time.

"Seriously, who are you my Queen? you have wrapped our King's heart in the clouds and now he is quoting poetry!"Cleopatra exclaimed and it made Special blush.

"That's the magical touch of Special!"Derek added.

"She is indeed Special from what I can see" Cleopatra supported.

Trying to desperately escape their compliments, Special decided to change the topic.

"Would you like to dine privately or would you prefer to join my rather large family for dinner?"

"Oh I would prefer to dine with all of you. I miss family conversations" Cleopatra stated gazing deeply at her brother.

"Oh its not my fault you miss family conversations. Its the nature of your education and your upbringing also contributed largely." Derek defended.

"Your highness, the governor would like to speak wit you" Uyi suddenly appeared in front of them presenting Derek a phone to which the king exited the sitting room to answer it. Special saw the glance, Uyi gave Cleopatra but more spectacular is the way she looked at him as he casted his face away walking behind the king. Special knew when someone was on love and it would seem like Cleo was in love with Uyi but what could she do to help her.
