Chapter 41 Plan B It Is!

​​Frustrated with the entire situation with Warren and Sophia, and with my stomach aching from eating so much cake, I headed out into the hallway, thinking I would have to come up with another plan. I should have known that simply baking a cake wouldn’t be enough to get to the man’s heart. After all, as a king, he had a ton of chefs to do that.

Almost the second I walked out into the hallway, Theo was there waiting for me, an expectant look on his face. “Well?” he asked me in a low whisper. “How did it go?”

“Great,” I told him. “The king and I are getting married right this very moment.”

He narrowed his eyes at me. “Your face said something else.”

“Okay, I failed,” I admitted, but I must have looked very upset.

That was why Theo gave me a somewhat sympathetic look. He led me around the corner where we’d be less likely to be overheard. “What happened?”

“First of all, your brother is the king.”

“Okay, then?”

“Sophia is the one he is planning to marry.”
