Chapter 42

ALDRICS PAST VALERIA Freed from my task and without the housekeeper watching I decided to slip away with the excuse of organizing the Kings clothes in his closet .

So I grabbed a basket with clean sheets and walked into the castle .

I reached the ebony door and hesitated for a moment , unsure whether to step into the wolfs den or not .

Come on , Valeria , dont be ridiculous .

The agreement was fulfilled , and now its time to return to a professional dynamic worker and employer .

Im the maid , and hes the King .

I told myself, straightening my posture , because if every time Aldric and I shared intimacy under our arrangement , I acted like a nervous girl , then this was bound to fail .

I entered with a serious expression , advancing into the room on legs that felt like jelly .

I knocked softly , but no one answered , so I pushed the door open and stepped into His Majestys chambers .

The delicious scent of wine immediately assaulted my senses .
