Aurelia
I forced a smile and curtsied.
"Your Majesty, I wished to speak with you privately. There are matters weighing heavily on my mind."
I only say this because of the guards everywhere.
His gaze softened, and he gestured for the guards to leave us. Once the doors closed behind them, he stepped closer, his eyes searching mine. "You know you can always come to me, Aurelia. What troubles you?"
"First of all.. how the hell did you recognize me?" "It's you. Even if you dressed like a man I would." "So you want me to swoon?"
"Maybe."
"Not happening."
"Didn't expect it to."
"Both you and Kane are the most frustrating people on earth." "Can you stop mentioning Kane when you're with me?"
"Why? Because you're jealous. Wasn't he the one who told you I was coming in the first place?" I smile and come closer to him. I move back immediately because he'll know I'm onto something. I sigh.
