Lord Acheron turned red. His eyes widened and he glared at me. I watched him closely. But sadly, to my observation, he didn’t look like he had been called out at all.

Disgust etched on his brow and he snarled. “W–what?! Romantic feelings?!”

I hummed and nodded, tapping my chin twice. “Romantic feelings. You have them for the king, don’t you? You want to be in his bed, touching you and-”

He glared daggers at me. “You have finally lost your mind.” If eyes could kill, I’d be as dead as his snake.

“Is it true?” I asked. And an image of him and the king entangled in a heated kiss came to my mind. My cheeks warmed up and I quickly shoved down my impure thoughts. “I won’t be angry, I promise. I understand that a lot of people can have desires that are outside of the-”

“He’s like my brother, that is all.” He snapped, cutting me off halfway. “Get those filthy images out of your head. There is nothing romantic between I and the king.”

I narrowed my eyes at his admission. A brother huh? That’s a very convenient lie.

“If he’s like a brother to you then why are you acting like a jealous ex?” I asked, flashing him a cruel smirk.

He scoffed bitterly. “A jealous what?!”

“I mean it. You’re angry at me, like I’m coming between your love for the king. He loves me, you love him, drama drama. You’ve hated me from day one, I felt it. When the king sent me away, you cane after me to perfect your revenge. All these are exactly what a jealous ex would do.”

His eyes darkened and the air crackled with suppressed energy. For a moment I was scared he would attack. “You’re being ridiculous.”

“I mean it. If you’re in love with him, you can let me know. I can keep a secret.” I said. A wicked idea came to my mind. “I can do more than keep a secret.”

He pulled a dirty face. “My goodness. Where on earth did he find you from?”

I flashed him a wink. “I was a tribute, remember?”

He rolled his eyes and rubbed his temple. “I do not have feelings for the king. I just..”

“Yes? You just kissed once?”
