Queen Romanda Enemies to Lovers sneak peek
You hated attending these pointless and stuffy meetings. They were boring from beginning to end, and nothing was ever accomplished. All the other countries sat around the room, bickering back and forth on multiple issues, and toyed around with the idea of a treaty here or a treaty there. In the end, though, everyone left empty-handed sulking because they believed it would be easy to manipulate the others into giving them what they wanted without sacrificing anything on their part.
You rested your chin in the palm of your hand, exhaling an exasperated breath. Looking more and more absent-minded by the second. Your two adopted kids and self-appointed guards for this particular event stood on either side of you. Swords strapped across their backs, and they shared your demeanor.
Ten more minutes went by, and just when you thought that boredom would be the death of you. The double doors to the meeting room opened, and six men dressed in fancy all black suits with masks covering the bottom half of their face. They split in two groups of three flanking either side of the room. All dropped to their knees, arms crossed, forming an X to show respect to the next person.
Queen Ramonda.
The Queen of Wakanda and if anybody asked you your long lost love. This very meeting was all about her and her country's supply of vibranium. It was the only reason you even bothered to show your face here. It'd been years since you laid eyes on the woman, and despite everything she's lost since then. She radiated beauty and power in a way no else could. The woman aged like a fine wine, and you swore she grew more gorgeous every single day.
You let out a hum, taking her in as she waltzed into the room, coming to a halt right in the center. The Dora Milaje is right at her heels in simple yet elegant black dresses.
It's crazy to think about how much has changed and happened since the first day. The two met each other back, and then you believed. It was only a matter of time before you called her yours, but now you knew better to heed your best friend's warning.
"The two of you are meant to be, but the path might not be easy nor swift."
