Chapter 11

ODESSA’S POV

My legs, which had been playing and splashing around in the water, suddenly stopped. Without bothering to look at who had come to disturb my peace of mind, I continued playing in the water.

“Ignoring me? That's a new one.” He chuckled and settled down beside me, kicking off his shoes as well. I wanted to turn to him and tell him that he didn't even know I existed in my previous world and now…

“Should a King be seen sitting on the floor and playing by the pool?” I asked, my gaze fixed on the moon.

“I'm a King. I can do whatever I want, even if it's to spend the entire engagement party with my son’s fiancee who looks unbothered by the fact that her future husband just went after his side piece.”

I frowned and looked at him, his eyebrows raised as if he was urging me to say what was on my mind.

“You're very talkative for a King.” I scowled and looked back to the sky.

He laughed and replied, “My late wife once told me beautiful women bring out that side of me.”
