I can't believe that despite my defiance, I still fell right into His Majesty's hand. They are scrubbing every inch of my body to make sure that I'll be presentable upon facing His Majesty. They even put sfragrance and oil on my body. Elara probably noticed how many times I have blown a loud sigh while waiting for them to finish preparing me. "Are you okay, my lady?" she asked worriedly.
"Tell me, Elara. How can I be okay when I am forced to sleep with a man I despise?" I can't help but let out my frustration on her. All of I of those who were in that bathroom raised their eyes towardsat once. Their eyes widened in shock upon hearing what I said. Obviously, they weren't used to hearing such words against the most powerful man in the kingdom. However, all they could do was look atwith judgment in their eyes. It was His Majesty who ordered this, so they can't do anything but follow. "She doesn't really mean that," Elara jumped into my defense despite knowing that I meant every word I said.

"What? I didn't say that I wouldn't be going to His Majesty's room. But I didn't say as well what tI would be going," I said. "You can all leave now," I ordered the maids.
Since their job was done, they politely followed my order and left the room without a word. As they opened the door, I saw Scott standing right outside the door. I notice the confusion on his face when he figures out that I won't be coming with the maids. I saw him open his mouth, about to say something, but before he could, I slammed the door in front of him.
"Sage, are you out of your mind?" Elara exclaimed, staring atlike I had truly lost it.

If he thinks he can controlby sending his Beta to fetchlike sobedient little pet, he's in for a surprise." Elara shook her head, clearly torn between worry and the grudging admiration she always had for my stubborn streak. "I just don't want you to get hurt."

As I slipped into the gown, my mind raced. The tension between Titus andwas a dangerous game, and that I knew could explode at any moment. But I couldn't back down-not now, not ever. If he wanted to test me, I was more than ready to meet him head-on.
