In a flash, Joanna pushed Kayden violently away so that he removed his hands from the breasts he was holding.
"What do you think you are looking at, won't you turn around?" Joanna hurried to cover her chest with her hands when she saw how intensely Kayden was staring at her nude body.
"I had already seen everything last night when we made love…,"
"Kay, believe me, I will gouge out your eyes if you continue giving me that look," Joanna threatened fiercely.
"You have such a nice body so you can't blame me for staring…," Joanna splashed the water at him to prevent him from completing his sentence.
Kayden, who didn't expect her to attack him this way, gulped a handful of water because of her action.
"I admit defeat so stop glaring at me already. I will turn around if that is what you want," Kayden said when he got a glimpse of her fierce glares.
He smiled as he stared at the river's environment surrounded by bushes.
"After what happened between us last night I didn't expect you to act very shy around me. I mean aren't those who have sex supposed…,"
Joanna turned and glared at the guy whose back was facing her. "Why do you keep saying that we had sex when that didn't happen?"
"Are you perhaps trying to ruin my chances of getting married to a dashing guy…,"
"Where can you find a man as handsome, dashing, tall, rich and powerful as me?" Kayden said with pride.
"Are you seriously selling yourself to me right now?" Joanna asked. She couldn't help but notice that Kayden had changed a lot.
In the past he was cheerful but he became very careful with the way he speaks or does things when he got crowned as the King.
She was so used to this cold side of him that she got the chills with his newfound self.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe couldn't believe that the shameless guy standing in front of her was the aloof King of Twipera Kingdom.
He looked like a totally different person.
"How would you know my worth if I don't make the advertisement catchy?" Kayden's reply made Joanna realize that she was wasting her time trying to talk sense into the guy.
"What a narcissist!" Joanna muttered enough for him to hear. She started swimming out of the river afterwards.
"I wonder where you sold my darling Kay in the past only to replace him with this perverted being?" Joanna now standing on the grassy ground said.
"Your darling Kay?" Kayden asked excitedly as he turned around. Her comment made him forget that he wasn't supposed to look at her.
He looked away when she shouted at him for staring.
"Does that mean you had a crush on me in the past but were only playing hard to get me to make me fall head over heels for you?" Kayden said.
Anyone who saw this shameless man and heard what he was saying will doubt whether he was the same King they knew.
"Joan, since this has always been your aim, what are you gonna do now that you have succeeded in making me fall madly in love with me?" Kayden asked, imitating a cute tone.
"I don't mind offering myself to you free of charge….,"
"Shameless," Joanna exclaimed as she shook her head.
His words made her recall Audrey's words back at Golden Core Pack. Audrey's words back then rang in her memory.
"Also, I am sure that Kayden will not hesitate to throw himself at you if he learns about even a little of what you think of him. He will offer himself to you on a platter of gold,"
These were Audrey's exact words that night and she could still recall them vividly.
[Why are Drey's words proving true? Did she perhaps foresee this day]
Joanna focused her gaze on the back of the guy still standing inside the water.
"Kay, I am curious to know whether your subjects are aware of this perverted side of yours," Joanna said as she put on her clothes after drying her body.
"You are the only person I will show this side of mine to so you don't have to get jealous of me charming other women with my cuteness…,"
"You are a nutcase and I won't bother arguing with you anymore," Joanna said when she couldn't win against Kayden.
"I know you love my current self so you don't have to pretend. Don't worry you will keep seeing more of this side of me for a long time," Kayden said smiling.
Kayden stayed in the water until Joanna finished dressing up.
"Come let's go. You can keep on staying there if you plan to spend the entire day in the river," Joanna said.
She started walking away with her Bacon hovering around her. Joanna didn't wait for Kayden to come out of the water.
"Wait up Joan," Kayden yelled, his loud voice echoing in the dense forest.
Kayden and Joanna walked side by side until they finally reached the hut.
When they had settled down in the hut and Kayden tried to show Joanna the gifts he brought for her, he recalled that he had left the stuff in the forest when he was searching for her.
"Wait here, I will be back," Kayden said. He hurried out of the hut before Joanna had the chance to ask him what he was up to.
Kayden returned with the shopping bags and lunchboxes in his hands. Joanna hurried to assist him on seeing the many loans he was carrying.
"Did you bring these things by yourself from the entrance of the forest to the hut?" Joanna asked curiously.
"Yes, I did. I couldn't afford to bring Chris or the other guards with me and that is why I left them in the Palace".
"Wow, I feel honoured that the King is willing to serve a humble girl like me. And I can't help but think that you are such a sweet…," Joanna paused when she saw how attentively Kayden was staring at her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe decided to withhold her compliments after realising the big trouble she is gonna bring upon herself if she dares compliment Kayden.
"Why did you pause?" Kayden asked displeasingly. "I know you were about to compliment me so go on and do it…,"
"I perceive the sweet aroma of a tasty dish, so let's eat," Joanna said as she started opening the lunchbox.
"I am so famished. I kinda doubt whether I will be able to recall how human food tastes after I have lived on garbage for six months".
Joanna's eyes lit up when she saw that the first lunch box contained all her favourite delicacies.
"I brought everything all for you so take your time and eat as much as you can," Kayden said in a meek tone.
"Seeing all you brought I can't help but admit that you are the one who knows me best apart from Drey," Joanna said beaming.
She began devouring the food after setting it on the centre table.
Kayden spent the entire day with Joanna. With his cell phone turned off none could disturb his sweet time with his beloved.
Even when night reached he was reluctant to leave. Just like the previous night, Joanna had to force him to go back to the Palace.
"I will come to visit tomorrow so look forward to another exciting day," Kayden said as he stole an embrace from her.
He turned to leave.
Joanna was waving at him when suddenly a white notification screen popped up.
<Congratulations on successfully being reborned>
Joanna ignored the notification and was about to smile at the guy who just turned to look at her for the last time when another notification came on.
<Main mission: Seduce and make your mate hard and say I LOVE YOU>
"What the f*ck," Joanna caused loudly.
<Reward: 50 experience points>
<Failure: returning to level 1>
"Tell me this is a joke right?" Joanna asked, her words making Kayden stop walking and turn to stare at her.
