An accident
Simon’s POV
I took my leave, quickly rushing out of Lucas’ study room. That crazy man just kept spewing out nonsense, and I just wasn’t cut out to get myself aroused by that no good slave. As I made my way towards the stairs which led to our respective rooms upstairs, I smiled at the sight of the maids getting everywhere ready and prepared for the Norways’ visit. Though I had just publicly announced to the people that I was accepting Veronica as our mate, it hadn’t fully been established with the rituals that had to be done. I got into my bedroom, took off my clothes, and then made my way into the bathroom to take a good shower. I finished up, and then proceeded to put on fresh new clothes .
As soon as I was done with everything, I went into my office to go work on some of the documents I was supposed to have attended to in the morning. I spent so long working there, that I didn’t realize when time flew by so fast. The guards had announced the arrival of the Royal family, and it was only then that I actually realized that I had been in the office for quite a long time. I jumped up from my chair, made little touches here and there on my hair, outfit, and shoes, before making my way out to welcome them in the living room.
“Greetings King Norway, I’m glad to have you honor my invitation”
“Greetings king Simon, it’s my pleasure to be here”
“Please come in, I hope the journey wasn’t too stressful on your way coming?”
“No it wasn’t, thank you”
“You’re welcome,”i turned to face the queen, took her hand, and kissed the back of her palm as a sign of respect. I greeted her as well, before turning to face Veronica as well. She was dressed in a silver colored dress with her hair slicked back in a neat bun. She had quite a lot of makeup on, maybe a little bit too much for dinner in my opinion, but it wasn’t too flashy that it couldn’t be ignored. Her gold colored jewelry set made a very nice contrast with the silver dress she had on, and the moment she saw me approaching her, a smile soon appeared on her face
“Greetings king Simon”
“Princess Veronica, so lovely to have you here again” I took her hand, kissed the back of her palm, and a blush once again made its way to her face
“Please come in everyone, the table is set, and we have prepared some of your favorite delicacies just so that you feel at home and very welcome” I said, as I ushered them towards the dining room. After everyone had gotten seated, king Norway then asked
“Wait, where is Lucas? Wouldn’t he be joining us for dinner?”
“Oh yes that’s right, he would be here any moment, he had to deal with a few issues and” I didn’t get to finish my statement when Lucas descended from the stairs
“Greetings everyone, hope I haven’t kept you all waiting for too long?” We all turned to face him, and I rolled my eyes as he smugly made his way in, trying to steal the attention all to himself. He got seated close to me, and I turned to face him with a questioning look. Very quickly, I mind linked with him and it connected with no time at all
“Yo bro, what the heck did you just do?”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh you know damn well what I’m talking about, why did you come in so late, trying to have all eyes on you and everything?”
“What do you mean? I had what I was doing and as soon as I finished with it, I came downstairs”
“Oh really? Well I…” without letting me finish, he instantly cut me off, disconnecting the mind link. He turned to smile at Veronica who also smiled back at him, and I could only look at him quietly with a warning look on my face
“Um, music please” he said, and the butler went straight to turning on some cool music for us. We got started with dinner, and the room was soon very quiet, only the sounds of our cutleries clicking the plates and trays, alongside the music being played
The evening progressed smoothly, with polite conversation flowing between our guests and us. The soft music played in the background as we enjoyed our meal, creating a pleasant atmosphere despite the underlying tensions. Veronica sat beside me, her presence a symbol of unity between our packs.
As dessert was being served, a young maid, clearly nervous in the presence of royalty, accidentally spilled a few drops of wine on Veronica’s dress while pouring a glass. Before anyone could react, Veronica sharply exclaimed, “Are you blind? Watch what you’re doing!”
The maid froze, her eyes wide with fear as Veronica’s hand swung out, delivering a stinging slap across her cheek. Gasps filled the room as heads turned in shock, the sudden outburst breaking the elegant facade of the evening.
Veronica’s face flushed with anger, her eyes blazing as she glared at the maid. “Clean this up,” she commanded, her voice sharp and commanding. “And be more careful next time!”
The maid, trembling with embarrassment and shame, quickly hurried to clean the spill, her hands shaking as she wiped Veronica’s dress. The room remained tense, the atmosphere heavy with discomfort as everyone processed the unexpected display of authority from our new princess.
I exchanged a glance with Lucas, who raised an eyebrow in amusement, clearly finding Veronica’s assertiveness intriguing. King Norway shifted uncomfortably in his seat, exchanging a concerned look with Queen Norway, who placed a reassuring hand on his arm.
“Can’t believe such stupid people were allowed to work here!” She hissed and I chuckled slightly.
“Veronica, come on, it’s just a simple stain!”
“Oh please simon, this dress was giving to me my my grandmother and she was so sweet, can’t imagine that good for nothing low Omega destroying it!!” She hissed and pushed the table away, obviously leaving to the bathroom.
