Defusing the Future

King Casper III, P.O.V.

I spent the entire evening trying to recall everything I'd say to Zuwena if I had to tell her the truth. I continue to believe, however, that this entire thought is doomed and that it will not help me get closer to her. Even if we've never been able to connect in the past, this could drive us apart. I sat on my bed, trying to come up with a simple way to break the news to her, but I couldn't come up with anything. Out of nowhere, here comes an angry Zuwena, asking why I did not let her in. She refused to sit on the couch when I offered her a seat. I don't have any other choices, so I'll get right to the point.

Zuwena, P.O.V.

With all due respect, I don't have an entire day to wait in the hallway. So, sir, I am sleepy, tired, and cold. Make it quick; I need to rest because I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. I said it all in one breath as he sat on his couch in a darker room than I had expected, but everything appeared to be in order.

Despite the fact that the room was decorated in black and darker gray colors, I believe they are unsuitable for any interior decoration, which is, of course, another total fail as this stranger has continued to surprise me and prove me wrong over and over again. I'd like to hire you as my stylist. And if you accept the offer, your new roles and responsibilities will begin officially tomorrow. He expressed himself calmly.

This surprised me because no one had ever known about my passion for fashion and design. Designing is one of my favorite things to do because it allows me to be myself while also allowing me to evolve and grow. Fashion and design were the only aspects of my life over which I had complete control.

Even my mother used to tell me that my life was planned before I was born, from the schools I was supposed to attend to the family I was supposed to marry, and even the man I was supposed to marry was known by the time I was two. Crazy, right? Do you think you'll be able to handle the job yourself, or should I have to hire someone else? He inquired, recapturing my attention.

I quickly replied, "Yes, sir, I mean no, sir, I am ready to begin the job." Okay, you are dismissed. He said it dismissively. "Of course, that hurt my feelings." I wanted to keep talking to him for a few more minutes. Despite the fact that I had nothing to say to him at the time, I was itching to spend some time with him. I'm not sure why, but something keeps drawing me to him, and I'd like to figure out why I'm so drawn to him, connected to him, and nervous at the same time. I need to figure out the reason for all this happening.

I excused myself and retired to my room for a nap. However, I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep due to all my happiness.

I had to go back downstairs after reaching my bed to get some water. My jug was empty, and I won't be able to sleep if I don't have any water for the night. I heard a noise on my way downstairs, and as noisy as I am, I resisted the urge to investigate. I kept telling myself not to make a lot of noise because it always got me into more trouble. As a result, I continued to return to my previous location. Avoid the sounds and noises in the living room. I returned to my room after filling my jug and picking some fruits, but my curiosity got the best of me, and I went back to find out what was going on.

Miss Ramirez? I turned around to find one of the maids standing with a man in uniform. He looked like a security guard. He was hot, but not like Mr. Casper. Do you require any assistance? She inquired. Water I said it quickly, without thinking. Ooh, let's go and fill the jug for you. Is there a jug in your room that's empty? She asked. No, no, no, I quickly replied, hoping to keep her from entering the room and discovering a full jug of water.

Please follow us, she said, as I was compelled to do so because I couldn't pass them and go look for the noise I'd heard. After reaching the kitchen, the maid brought me a jug of water and returned to my room, where I was unable to resume my previous mission. Since I can't do anything about it, I suppose I should call it a day. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a more fun day, since I will be going to the mall. I'm really looking forward to it.

Unknown P.O.V

It would be best if you hurried to Treasure City. One of the guards I sent to keep an eye on my fiance said, "One of the guards said." "Since I can't be there, the location is near the war location." As the future queen of the great vampire empire, I cannot risk my life in that manner. "Talk," I said. I was annoyed because I didn't want to talk to her. The new girl has been given the job by the king, and he has instructed her not to leave the estate without his permission.

Have you ever considered poisoning her? I asked, "No, ma'am." What have I said before? asked again. You need to be more serious about your job. I was annoyed. Get her out of my way, and I will be there by next week. I said this while disconnecting the call. These dummies are really useless.

You should start preparing for your upcoming wedding as soon as possible. We can't afford to lose that position and the wealth that comes with it. My mother said, "I am on it." I'm not going to let any other girl be queen. That title is mine, and if I have to make some sacrifices, so be it. I started this unequivocally. This is my show, and nobody can run it better than I can. That's my girl. My father said this to me as he kissed my cheeks.

Mommy! I turned around and faced her. Arrange a meeting with the council. I'd like to double-check that we're on the same page. If not, Plan B must be implemented. I expected this day to come, but not so soon.
