The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 39

Chapter 39

He stood a few feet away from us. A young flower seller stood up to him, showing her lovely collection of flowers. He crouched down to her eye level, a tender look I hadn’t ever seen on him before etched in his eyes. He conversed with her, and she excitedly showed off her goods. She took out a wild pansy and stuck it in his hair.

He looked so… different.

So normal.

He had ditched the kingly robes I knew him to wear, and instead was dressed in a white tunic and dark blue pants, with boots on his feet. His long hair was tied into a low ponytail, he wore dark gloves too. He stood tall and imposing, and people took a second look when they walked past him. The ladies whispered amongst themselves and blushed, even the men didn’t hide the way they looked at him.

But none of that murderous aura of his was around him. He just looked like a very tall, very handsome member of society.

Why did I think that just now?

“Oh my,” Caldan said, shock in his voice.

I contemplated running then I decided against it. I’m not doing anything wrong by being here, right? I did all my duties on time. And this is my free time. I’m sacrificing my sleep for this festival

Just as I was about to turn around and leave like I hadn’t seen him, he turned and his eyes met mine.

All wind was knocked out of my lungs.

His eyes lacked their frightening intensity, a dull red rather than the bright crimson I was used to. But even across the distance, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

He’s seen us. Fuck! Fuck!

“We should go now.” I said to Caldan. I grabbed his hand and turned to leave. “We’ll just pretend like we didn’t see him.”

“That’s too late now, isn’t it?”

“Fuck!” I screamed, jumping two feet in the air. His voice sounded right behind me. I turned around, a fake smile plastered to my face. “Your ma….” I said and paused. “Good evening.

That flower in his hair is taking me out.

The king turned to Caldan. “Enjoying yourselves?” He asked.

“Very much, brother Caldan said firmly. I didn’t expect you to be here.”

The king looked around and nodded to himself. “These are my people. It’d be a shame not to celebrate with them.”

“I see. Caldan said. “You have a… “He gestured to the flower stuck in the King’s hair.

“Oh this, it’s a gift from my new friend, Freda.” He turned and waved at the little flower girl who waved back in excitement. “She said it suits me.”

I bit my lip hard.

Oh, that’s right.
