“why didn’t you simply leave? You shouldn’t come with me to the cave. ” A weight settled on Ella’s chest as he repeated the inquiry.
Really, she didn’t know what to say in response .
She glanced at the ground, biting the insides of her cheeks because she was at a loss for words: “You don’t have an answer?”
Surprised, Spenser inquired.
“I…. “I don’t, My King,” she mumbled.
“However, I believe that I entered the cave to ensure your safety after you disappeared inside and I didn’t hear from you for some time. Let me know if I’ve done anything to hurt your feelings. ”
Spenser laughed cruelly, and Ella had no clue why. But, my gosh! When he scoffingly moved his lips, her heart stopped. Seeing him grin was endearing and left Ella curious about his own smile.
The only sound that could be heard was the clink of silverware against ceramic. She was worried that the King was thinking poorly of her because of his silence.
She had finished her meal and felt satisfied. She bowed and said, “Thank you very much for letting me dine with you, My King.”
When the King suddenly screamed her name, Ella whirled around to find himself looking into a pair of sea-blue eyes. Look at those eyes..
She listened intently with her fists folded in front of her thighs, trying to decipher his message.
The King sat back in his seat and wiped his lips with a napkin from the table.
He then wiped his lips with the handkerchief and said, “Ask me one favor.”
As she heard the incredible words, Ella’s heart summersaulted painfully in her chest. What?
She furrowed her face and stared at the King as if he had just stated the unthinkable. ‘M…. My King? Her words stutteringly came out. When did the King see fit to offer her this chance? So what exactly has she done to warrant this punishment? “He urged her to “go on, Ella.”
“My little way of saying ‘thank you’ for last night. ”
She felt her heart beat faster and her blood rush through her veins. In other words, he is thanking her. Oh! Thank God! Any queen worth her crown would do anything to seize such a rare chance. The good fortune that has been bestowed upon her begs the question: how? If a king ever gave him the chance, he would take it and run with it, even if it meant killing someone.
Ella now couldn’t believe she was being granted this chance.
Goodness!
But…. Exactly what could she possible want?
Yes!
She smiled broadly, but then her expression changed abruptly as she recalled….
Words said by Diana the night before. She stopped and turned to look at the King, who was sitting back in his chair and watching intently at the screen.
The focus of those icy blue orbs only increased her want to comply. She stared at the ground for a few seconds before taking a few cautious steps toward him.
“My King,” but her gaze darted away from his face.
“I…. Feelings of gratitude for this chance to shine are beyond words. ” She bowed and said, “Thank you very much.” “And…. To put it simply, I would be very grateful if my request was granted. “Suddenly, Spenser was quite curious. He stared icily into her eyes.
“Would you want to indulge yourself, My King? “As a result of her efforts, the shell was cracked. “Just go out and have some fun now! Get a drink, some snacks, and some fruit, and then play some games. “the King’s brows furrowed in bewilderment.
“I don’t want you to go out as the King, but as Spenser,” she said.
“There are no security personnel here; it’s just you…. try out human life without worrying about the future for a change, and experience some joy. King, if you please. Please do as I have asked. ”
Hearing her, the King was so astonished that he could not keep a look of shock off his face. There was a long period of silence as he thought about it.
If a queen could ask anybody for anything, why did she choose to beg a favor of him? Seriously, how is it even possible? Her timid eyes lowered to the ground as he mocked at her. His voice was low as he said, “Everyone knows me as the Alpha King, Ella.”
“Even the people won’t feel comfortable around me, so there’s no way I can accomplish what you’re asking.” The idea crossed Ella’s mind for a second. Uh, My King, I believe that if you dressed like a peasant and maybe wore a hat, no one would be able to easily identify you. Hopefully, everything will turn out well. She expressed her excitement.
King Spenser sat back in his chair and shook his head, as though lost in meditation.
He remained quiet, his fingers resting on his jaw, for a considerable amount of time.
Then he broke silence and said:
“I’d look like a peasant. And nobody back home would suspect me. A poor guy with a hat and his wife would be all that anybody would see. ”
Once Ella heard the King’s final remark, her expression changed from one of glee to one of surprise.
“My… My King….?
With a chilly glare, he said, “Get ready, Ella.” We have a date tonight!”
The woman snorted and rolled her eyes. Certainly not what she had in mind! She approached him and said, “B… but, My King.” Don’t take what I said the wrong way! I just…. No need to worry about it; I just meant that was something you should do by yourself.
“Well, I choose not to be alone, Ella.” King Spenser sipped from the jar. Consider it my personal invitation to you. By the time nighttime rolls around, you’re ready to go. We’ll take our horses to a cave outside the palace, where we’ll be transformed into peasants. We will then go to the nearby village. I’m sure it’ll be alright…,”
the King said, and all Ella could think about was going on a date with him. She just couldn’t accept it at this point. That guy was going on a date with her? Thank God! Can it be??? Is she really considering a date with the reigning Alpha King? To think that this would happen to her was unthinkable! When he finished, she bowed and said, “Thank you so much, My King.”
“I’m… I genuinely appreciate that. “
