Chapter 33

MISUNDERSTANDINGS VALERIA The disdainful stares didnt take long to arrive when they eagerly stood , expecting the King , and only saw his ugly maid .

I walked down the line , one by one , as they parted their robes to show me their assets .

All flawless , with perfect curves everything a male could want , I suppose .

I didnt even know his true preferences , so I just picked three , and honestly , they were the least attractive ones .
