The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 191

Sabrina’s POV:

“Tomorrow evening, we are going on a date. The king said to me.

I raised a quizzical brow. “Your majesty, that’s so harsh.”

He looked lost for a few seconds then recollection flashed in his eyes. “Ah, my apologies. Will you join me on a date tomorrow evening? I’ll be sure to make it worth your time.”

I laughed shyly and nodded my head of course, your majesty, I would be delighted to join you.

She placed an empty cup on the table between us. “Now, try to use your magic and make this float into the air. Remember, you are worthy of these gifts.”

I stared at the cup and willed it to rise.

The seconds stretched by and by. Nothing happened.

“You can do it.” Lady Nifra urged gently. “Keep trying”

“Have you done this before?” I asked, stealing a glance in her direction.

“Done what?”
