The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 180

Sabrina’s POV:

The king led me out of the castle and through a back door that I didn’t know existed. Ahead lay a long dwindling path was a glass dome. I looked up at the ceilings, and I could see the sky overhead, the thick vine leaves.

And the sun.

I turned to the king, mildly alarmed. “The sun is out, your majesty.”

“Oh that?” He glanced up quickly. “It won’t harm me. The glass doesn’t let the sun rays through. It’s completely fine.”

I raised a brow slowly. “And if it’s not, and I get frames for the murder of the king?”

He laughed to himself. Then he took a step forward and walked into the dome.

I waited with bated breathe. A second passed. Then five. Nothing happened.

I exhaled a breath of relief.

“You were worried about me,” He said, extending his hand to me.

I took his hand. “Not exactly.”

“In that case, let’s keep going.” He said, a knowing smile on his lips.

He led me to the end of the glass dome where there was this massive glass green house. The walls stretched miles and miles into the sky, the ceilings covered with a lush canopy.

My jaw dropped as I took in the beauty of the garden.

I could hear the twittering of birds, butterflies drifted about lazily, their wings colorful and ethereal. Flowers of all forms, roses in colors I hadn’t seen in my life. I thought the harem gardens were beautiful but this…this was straight out of paradise. The air carried the soft scent of flowers, so many notes mixed together it was almost overwhelming. Most of the sun was kept out here, but it was still stunning.

A blue Morpho butterfly drifted across of my face, and I could swear it paused for a second for me to admire its glowing wings.
