Chapter 35: When The Tyrant Falls In Love

I EXPECTED only two things. It was either Zachary would say yes after giving me a smirk or he would decline and still go somewhere else. And no matter how I think of it, the latter was the most likely outcome.

But when it had been a few seconds already and I heard nothing at all, I opened my eyes and prepared myself to be rejected. However, I was surprised to see his face red.

Am I seeing it right? Is His Majesty… blushing right now? Him of all people? Really?

When he caught me staring, he instantly covered half of his face with his hand and looked away.

“Goddamn it, Kate,” I heard him say.

Zachary was doing all these things he had never done before. He invaded my neighborhood so early in the morning and approached me under the guise of ‘coincidence’. He had the lamest excuse of all but I could not even laugh because he uttered those words so confidently that if I didn’t know him any better, I might have been tempted to believe that our encounter this morning was truly a coincidence.
