Chapter 190

Sabrina’s POV:

The rest of the dinner went by without much hitches. After dinner, the king and I took a walk through the grounds,

The moon, a lovely sickle in the night sky gave its pale light. the cool evening breeze carried with it the scent of flowers. We walked side by side, a peaceful air between us.

But there was a question nagging my mind.

I turned to the king. He has his gaze focused far ahead, his head held high and proud. For a moment I admired the angles of his face then he noticed me staring and looked at me.

“Is there something on my face?” He asked and touched his face.

“No, your face is perfect.”

“You think I’m perfect?” He asked with a teasing smirk.

“I said your face is perfect, not you. Hold on…that doesn’t…”

“It’s alright,” He purred. “You have to admit it.”

I sighed heavily. “I have a question for you,” I said and quickly changed the topic.

“What is your question?”

“Tell me about your childhood. Were you always this tall, intimidating king?”

“Yes. I spawned out of nothing, and I never had to go through childhood.”

I paused in my tracks and turned to face him. He stopped a few paces ahead and looked at me. “You’re being serious?”

To be honest, it’s highly likely that he just spawned out of nothing. I stated at him, and I couldn’t imagine him as a child. Or a baby, even. Did he have parents? Siblings? Did he cry as a child when he scraped his knee?

I can’t come up with any images of that.

“It’s actually very possible.” I said, tapping my chin.

“Of course not.” He said. “I was once a child. Like
