Chereads / The Sorceress' Lover / Chapter 9 - Not You Idiot

Chapter 9 - Not You Idiot

'There are quite few changes.' Ariya strolled outside the Palace and found herself staring at the beautiful garden. The flowers reminded her of the late Queen. 'She loved daisies more than roses.' The roses in front of her made her frown. The wind stroke her hair and enveloped her skin.

"I see you're fond of flowers." Ariya's brow twitched at the familiar voice.

'It is the stupid King again.' Ariya ignored the King and continued walking away from him.

"It's nice to meet you My Queen." Ariya turned angrily at him. King Lance smiled at her sudden reaction and actually find it cute. He thought of ways as to how to tease 'His Queen' and how to get her trust him.

"STOP. SAYING.THAT" Ariya emphasized every word. The King studied her face then let out a laugh. Ariya looked at him rather annoyed. She doesn't seem to get along with this stupid King or so she thought.

"What do you want?!" she crossed her arms and glared at the King. King Lance seems to be enticed by this drama and continued to tease her.

"As you wish my Que--Ah! Queen Shekinah" He bowed before her then stood up and looked at her with admiration in his eyes.

"Stop looking at me like that, it's annoying."

She continued to shot glares at him but it seems like the King does not mind it at all. He smiled at the lady before him. Mesmerized by her beauty, he unknowingly reaches his hand and caressed the Lady's hair causing the other party to freeze in shock. Ariya looked at the man before her not knowing what to say or do.

"I.. uh" King Lance stuttered and at lost in words. He was so nervous that the girl in front of him will be frightened and would walk away from him--more.

"What a gentleman!" She gritted her teeth and shouted at the King before him.

"Thank you." The King smiled sweetly at her, however, the Queen is not happy at his reply. She moved closer to him, their faces are just an inch away from each other. King Lance was taken aback at this sudden behavior. He took a deep breath, he stared at her thin lips, crescent nose, and at her beautiful eyes.

"You're no gentleman! I'm not even happy conversing with you! I'm totally annoyed by you! Even if you're the last person here I wouldn't dare look at you!" She sneered at him, but King Lance's lost in his own thoughts and was not able to digest what the Lady said.

"So you wanted to become my bride?" Ariya stepped back and looked at him in disbelief. King Lance used this chance to arrange himself and maintain his composure.

"I will not dream to have a husband like you, not you idiot!" And with that, she walked out of the scene and pretended that the conversation never happened. As for King Lance, well, the smile plastered on his is enough evidence.
