My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 188 - Gown Fitting

It was the day of the gown fitting. Me and the girls were excited even though only a few days left before the coronation. The palace was already getting busy and all of Flousia was rejoicing for their new king.

"Are you not afraid of your new role?" Nina asked Emily.

We were inside the palace's dressing room fitting our gowns when she suddenly asked the soon to be queen.

"At first, I was really afraid to be the queen. I've been discriminated against and looked down upon but Kyle was always there." She sighed.

"When I came to Flousia for the first time. We were greeted by the people. I was overwhelmed but at the same time restless. I was thinking, I needed to show the people of Flousia that I am fit to be the queen of their country." She continued as we listened to her stories about her journey as queen.

"At the palace, I was attended by ten servants. I told Kyle that it wasn't necessary and I just needed two. But traditions say that I should have at least ten. They will take care of me from the moment I open my eyes until I close them. Flousia's traditions and culture were a lot different from ours and it took some time for me to adjust. I started learning the things I need to do as the future queen after the engagement. It was hard at first since I have to go back to our country to continue college then to Flousia again to do my royal duties."

"Wow! That was tough." Sophie blurted.

She chuckled maybe from remembering a memory.

"There was this time when I got anxious because I didn't see him for the whole day. It was ten in the evening and he hadn't visited me in my room. I called him but his phone was off. I know that he's busy doing his royal duties but my anxiety of being away from him was starting again. I stood up, got my robe on and walked towards the door. When I opened it there were two royal guards on both sides. They didn't say anything but bowed to me. I wasn't properly announced as the crown princess that time but since Kyle openly showed the nation that I am his, they were already bowing to me. It was new to me. I didn't like it when someone was bowing to me."

"Oh! I remember that! That was when you and Kyle argued. You called us the next morning!" I exclaimed.

"Yes. I was surprised with Flousia's traditions as if they were living in a different era. But eventually, I realized that royals were really like that." Emily said.

She turned to me like a dignified woman. Her rank was higher than menow even though I am the future king's brother.

"Do you remember what we talked about when I called you? You were really harsh with your words back then." She said.

I frowned, trying to remember our conversation.

PEGGY'S MEMORY

"What did my brother do to you?" I asked Emily.

She was crying when she told us what happened.

"Emily, I'm not saying you are completely at fault but you are a married woman now, you can't just go outside wearing something like that. I mean I changed how I dress when I became Luke's fiance. I was like you. At first, I didn't want to change how I dress up but when I thought of it, Luke was just protecting me from the lustful eyes of other men. He didn't really force me to change, it was my own decision because I don't want him to worry." Alora said.

"You know that Kyle was somehow the conservative type right? But he never really asked you to dress like he wants to. If you were him, would you like other girls to see him almost naked?" Sophie asked.

"No. I don't want to." Emily answered with a sob. "When he was with Lily, I was so jealous of her. Looking at him and touching him like she was telling me that she was his. I didn't like that." She continued.

"You're so stupid Emily. I'm not saying this because he's my brother. Look at yourself in the mirror, do you think other men will let their wife run around in a place full of men wearing like that? He was protecting you. And why would you question his intentions towards you? Didn't you talk about it already? It was your first day in Flousia, you can't expect everyone to adjust for you that easily. It's a long process and I know my brother would do everything for you so you won't feel caged inside the palace." I scolded her.

"Flousia's traditions have been there ever since it was discovered as a country. You can't expect to change it overnight. But think about it, my brother broke most of those traditions for you. Don't you think it's sweet? And that just shows how much he loves you. The crown prince should be the example of all the people, from following their culture and tradition and following orders from the king, but he defies all of it to be with you. Hence, you questioned him. You doubted his love for you. There might be a reason he didn't tell you some important stuff but whatever it is, I know it's for your sake." I continued to scold her.

She was crying but I was really pissed and annoyed with her.

"What should I do?" She asked.

"Idiot! Go to him! And talk. If you need to apologize, go ahead. Don't sleep and let the sun shine without reconciling with him. It's bad for your relationship." Nina blurted.

"What if he won't talk to me? What if he didn't want to see me?" She asked, worried.

"Then you just have to do everything so he could forgive you but I don't think Kyle would do that. He's head over heels in love with you." Sophie said in a gentle voice.

"Emily, are you being uncertain again? Are you beginning to question your decisions again?" Alora suddenly asked.

If you are having doubts, don't talk to him yet. Think about everything again.. Why did you decide to go back to him? Is it because of Lily? Why did you decide to marry him? Is it because he's a prince now? Why did you accept to become the future queen of another country? Is it because it excites you?" Alora continued to ask.
