The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I couldn't wrap my head around this fact. I felt like I was in a fever dream.

Everything felt unreal.

I planned to search for Kieran when I have escaped the hold of these aliens. He was one of my priorities.

I didn't know that the person I was searching high and low for was before me.

"Kieran." I murmured his name dazedly. Threads of my undigested shock was weaved into my words.

I don't even know what to feel. I didn't know how to feel.

Somewhere in my heart, I felt something different for Kieran.

In the far future, something might spark between us.

I don't even know what to feel right now.

Kieran was the King of aliens.

My eyes weren't deceiving me. What I was seeing wasn't some kind of elaborate illusion.

A lump gathered in my heart.

The blooming passion I felt for Kieran took a hit.

My fingers curled into my palms.

I met Kieran's surprised gaze with a glare of my own.

"Kieran." I whispered again.

This time, my words had elements of anger.

Kieran looked exactly like he did in my dreams.

His vibrant golden eyes did things to me, things I wasn't willing to admit. It made my heart beat.

His attire was high-end.

It made use of the natural colors found in nature. His light blue shirt matched well with his flowery trousers.

His top buttons was open and a hint of his brown skin teased the public nonchalantly.

The gleam in his eyes held unknown depths.

"My King, I present my tribute to you." Maol said with a confident smile, "Her name is Edna and she is a human."

"A human?!" A male voice said with shock.

"Which kind of creature is she?" Another male alien said, his orange pupils flashed with curiosity.

The court was made with care.

Incense burners was arranged at specific places in the hall.

The people in the hall were probably officials under the King. Everyone was sitting down.

Anyone that wants to address the King stood up.

Maol was on his feet.

An excited glint was on his face.

My identity as a human gave him an edge.

I couldn't see the other girls that came before me.

An arrow of sadness struck my heart.

I don't know their fate.

"What is a human, you ask?" Maol started with a smile, "I didn't intend to reveal this now but for my King's sake, I will elaborate a little. Humans aren't native creatures of our planet. They come from someplace in space. If anyone wants to buy a human or know more about them, feel free to come to me. Edna here, however, is a special case."

"How so?" The male with burning orange pupils asked.

He voiced the obvious questions everybody wanted to ask.

All eyes flitted to me from time to time.

I felt like an exotic creature in the zoo.

"I am glad you asked." Maol's eys glanced at Kieran.

Kieran was still maintaining his still posture. His eyes were on me.

Even when I cut our eye contact off, I could feel his burning gaze searing into me. It was like the other people present were inanimate decorations.

A red cloud gathered on my cheeks.

'Stop this, Edna!'

Another twinkle flashed through Maol's calculating eyes. He wasn't unhappy that Kieran's attention wasn't on him.

On the contrary, he was extremely happy. I could see it in his mannerisms.

"Edna was attacked by a carnivorous plant. The plant tried to seize her body. It failed but Edna was able to inherit some of the plant's powers. She's dangerous and powerful." Maol said with pride.

If I wasn't present at the battle with the murderous carnivorous plant, I would think Maol was there when I fought for my life desperately.

The pride in his eyes and voice was too thick.

A few gasps of surprise rang out from the sitting officials. More curious looks cane my way.

I stopped myself from rolling my eyes.

"She is too special. I had to bring her here, to my King. She is the best candidate for a tribute." Maol finished before bowing towards Kieran, "King, please accept my offering."

Silence reigned the moment Maol's last words dropped.

Gloating looks were on some officials' faces. Those might be Maol's rivals.

Some looked at Kieran with hope.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I knew what that hope meant.

If he accepted me, it would give other officials the opportunity to insert their daughters, cousins and many more in Kieran's empty harem. It would be a positive and welcomed revolution. Suddenly, my mood derailed.

I felt angrier than I had been when I discovered that Kieran was the King of this planet.

Gosh!

I am not as indifferent to Kieran taking multiple beauties into his harem and arms as I had thought.

"I accept your offering." Kieran said slowly and succinctly.

I heaved an inaudible sigh of relief.

Although I knew Keiran had a higher chance of not rejecting me, nothing was really certain.

The Kieran before me might be different from the one that appeared in my dreams even if their appearances were similar.

I am not trying to talk down on myself but a fact still stands. I don't know why Kieran was interested him.

I don't think I have anything a whole King controlling aliens would want.

How he found me was still a mystery.

Kieran wasn't under any obligation to care for me or accept me.

A sprout filled with gratitude grew in my heart. My steely gaze softened.

Maol's face brightened and his smile bloomed like flowers in spring.

The other officials had better expressions on their faces too. The officials that had gloating looks on their faces when the acceptance of Maol's tribute was uncertain was included. The atmosphere in the court improved drastically.

"Like you said, Edna is special." Kieran drawled, "She is going to be my Queen."

What?!

His words sounded like a bomb.

A simple glance around the court showed me that I wasn't the only one affected by Kieran's curveball.

Everyone was in the same predicament.

A faint smile was on Kieran's lips.

Oh boy.
