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.” 

“Oh, right.” Prince Theo nodded like it didn’t surprise him at all. 

My eyes bulged slightly as I considered that response. “You‘ re not surprised that the king would rather marry Sophia than me? What? Do you think she’s prettier than me? Smarter? Sweeter?” 

“I didn’t say any of that, Ciana,” he said, huffing a little. “Focus.” 

I shook my head to clear it. “Fine, so we are going to have to come up with something else because he seems pretty set on the fact that she is the woman for him.” 

“What did you do exactly to change his mind?” Theo asked. 

“What could I do? He didn’t even want to talk to me other than telling me he was going to marry Sophia.” 

“And the cake didn’t help?” 

“Yes, it did,” I said, watching Theo raise an eyebrow while I completed my sentence angrily, “It helped to fill my stomach!” 

“You ate the cake?” 

I thought Theo would be upset, but after only a quick. pause, he chuckled lightly. For some reason, I felt he’d been in a fairly good mood lately. “All right, Ciana, what’s going on? You seem way more upset than you should.” 

“Do I?” 

He nodded. As his intense dark gaze fell on me, all of a sudden, I just felt so aggrieved that I needed to vent. “She even talked him into giving her a special bracelet!” 

Theo arched an eyebrow in confusion. “What bracelet?” 

I was in no mood to explain to him my childhood encounter with Warren, but at that moment, I saw that Sophia had turned the corner, walking toward us.
