5 Worthy Of His Majesty.

Your majesty, you cannot seem to let go of this mate hunting idea of yours, can you?" Dominik inquired gently as he helped the king clip to his chest the golden brooch that signifies him as the highest authority in the kingdom.

The golden carved heart-shaped brooch with a spray of silver and crystals and an oval-shaped red ruby etched in the center of the jewelry gave the man a deep sense of elegance and dignified appearance.

In addition to the piece of jewelry that matched his searing red eyes, he was well-styled and fashionable. His jet black hair was sleek and dressed to merge with his arrogant and unsmiling face. His broad shoulders embraced the black waistcoat he wore. His appearance alone was expensive and exquisite, he was not meek instead, he had the pride of a king.

Dominik could not resist the urge to let out an aggrieved sigh.

"Dominik, did you let go of searching for your mate when you haven't found her?" Ezriel tossed back at him without batting an eye in his direction.

"Your majesty!" Dominik could only press his lips together, he could not deny the king's words. His lips pursed, and his expression was like that of a cheated wife.

"Since you found your own mate, leave me to find mine" the king uttered. He tilted his body in Dominik's direction slightly and patted his back.

Then, he swirled around and left the room directly. Dominik did not feel good at all, he fixed his gaze on the door even though he could no longer see the king. He had no one to complain to and just glared at the innocent antiques used to decorate the place.

"Darling, why not leave the king alone? He knows what he is doing, you can not just deprive him of what he truly wants" a solemn voice uttered from the side. Dominik feeling the warmth of a soft touch on his shoulder turned around immediately. When his eyes fell on the lady who had arrived, his dull yellowish-green eyes brightened and he smiled a little. The lady pressed closer to him and placed a feathery kiss on his lips.

"My dear," Dominik muttered casting a lovely glance at the lady, his wife.

The lady nodded, the blue dress she wore was embedded with different gems and crystals but not flashy, her appearance was beautiful, enchanting as the moon and calm as a lake. Behind her stood another lady who was called in purple apparel, golden jewelry graced upon her neck and her wrists. She appeared very flashy and noble at a glance.

"Delta Dominik" the lady meekly expressed and dipped into a tiny bow.

"Lady Quincy" the delta nodded in acknowledgment.

"I hear you speak of his majesty, is there a problem?" She politely inquired of the delta while her eyes glittered with curiosity despite her effort to hide it.

Before the delta could speak, his wife was faster, she cast a glance at the lady and offered a small smile that hardly reached her eyes. "Lady Quincy, I believe you should be at the ballroom" she uttered.

"Lady Rose, I thought to send my greeting to his majesty first before I join the other. If you excuse me, I shall take my leave now" Lady Quincy voice softly and smiled back. She bowed and turned around to leave.

"I wish you a pleasant evening" Lady Rose called after her, she watched the lady's back until she was out of sight.

"Dear me, such trouble" Lady Rose touched her forehead and muttered under her breath.

"My dear, you seem not to like the lady, had she wronged you in the past?" Delta Dominik cautiously asked his wife who simply smiled and shook her head negative, she just did not appreciate sneaky people.

"Tell me, why do you choose to trouble his majesty with your nagging?" Lady Rose calmly asked, she raised her hand and adjusted her husband's collar, making sure it was in the right shape.

"My Rose, just look at his majesty, it has been centuries and he still hopes to find his mate. He even organized a birthday ball out of nowhere when he cannot even remember his birthday, all of these just to find a mate! Why can he not just pick one among the numerous princess from the nearby kingdoms? We have so many ladies of noble births in the Kingdom that are worthy of his majesty! My dear, how many people still wait for their mates these days?" He blabbered, his forehead wrinkled and dark lines forged along his forehead.

"There, there, love..." Lady Rose's song-like soothing voice rang out, she raised her hand and massaged his glabella. "You cannot say such things like that, his majesty is wise and a smart man, remember, he is mortal just like any of us, he has his needs and wants and you must learn not to impose on him. Who are you to think that other women are worthy of his majesty when he does not think so? I believe that one day, his majesty's effort will pay off and he will find that woman he wants to cherish. Love, you must learn to support his majesty as his right-hand man" the lady chastised her husband lovingly.

"My love, I just think his majesty has worked so hard searching for his mate... he could just choose one of the closest women to him... I mean, he is already a darling in many unmarried ladies' hearts, he does not even need to search for too long. Can you not see how committed Lady Quincy is to him?" The Delta gloomily expressed.

Lady Rose threw her husband a look, then she turned her body abruptly and took a step away as though she was leaving. Dominik panicked, he knew his wife would only act that way if he had angered her. He raised his leg and took a big stride to reach her. He wrapped his arms around her and let her sweet fragrance flow into his nose, dispelling all of his gloominess.

"Husband, the king is your brother, how can you bear to throw him into the hand of any woman? If I had known you would be like this, I could have gone away with the duke of Helsbrew so you could find some other woman too!" the lady expressed.

"Say no more, I was wrong, forgive me, my love" Delta Dominik pleaded but his wife snorted coldly. "I know you want his majesty to be happy just as we are, I promise to support him henceforth" he added, and only then did the lady turn around.

She smiled at him and stood on her toes and pecked his lips but the man was unsatisfied by the tiny show of affection. He gripped her waist that was buried under layers of clothes and pressed her close. Taking her lips in his, he kissed her passionately, igniting the fire of love between them.
