Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: 142- I’m The King

Arabella:

"How is that even possible?" Maya whispered. "Did you actually see the lizard they found?"

The two of us were sitting on the carpet in Toby’s room, discussing the lizard I had made up... that had somehow become real. I shook my head. "No. Lucien just told me they found it behind the curtain."

Maya leaned closer. "Then either there really happened to be a lizard in that room, or..." She paused.

"Or what?"

"I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking you."

Toby had been pacing around the room while we talked. Suddenly, he dropped onto the carpet beside us and leaned in. "Can you see anything in this room that shouldn’t be here?"

I frowned at him, wondering where the hell that question had come from. "Excuse me?"

"What I mean to say is... just say something outrageous. Anything." He gestured toward the corner. "Say there’s a huge dinosaur standing over there."

I stared at him like he had suddenly lost his mind.

"Or a Godzilla, maybe," he added. "Tell us Godzilla is hiding behind those curtains."

A laugh escaped me. "Are you seriously trying to check if whatever I say comes true?" I expected him to laugh, he nodded instead.

"Yes. And I’m dead serious."

My smile slowly disappeared, and I looked around the room, thinking. "There are..." I glanced toward the empty corner. "Two baby dragons over there."

Maya immediately gasped and slapped a hand over her chest dramatically. "Oh, Goddess."

But I didn’t stop. "And ... and they’re breathing out fire," I continued. "Lots of fire."

Maya scrambled closer to me with a fake horrified expression. "Arabella! How could you? Soon those two dangerous little monsters will be running around my room, setting everything on fire... including your friend. You should be ashamed of doing this."

I slapped her shoulder and yawned. "Idiot." She burst out laughing.

"Enough." I pushed myself to my feet. "I’m going to sleep."

"But, Ara! Aren’t we watching a movie?" I started shaking my head because I couldn’t stay up this late with all those pills in my system. Maya’s room was next to mine, while Toby’s room was at the other end of the hallway.

Toby got up too. "Where are you going, Ara?"

I stopped. "What do you mean? Of course I’m going to my room."

"I mean... are you really going to your room, or..." He let the question hang there. I narrowed my eyes at him.

Maya immediately started laughing again. "He has a point. Maybe you should go to Lucien’s bedroom again."

"Don’t be stupid. I only went there because I was missing Zorro and didn’t want to be alone." I pointed toward the door. "Tonight, I’m sleeping in my own room. Okay?"

"Sure." The way Toby said it made me want to throw something at him. I waved them both off and walked out with a smile.

Ever since Maya and Toby had arrived, the palace had somehow become more bearable. There was still too much going on here, but having my friends around made it easier to forget all that for a while.

By the time I reached my room, I had pushed the lizard incident out of my mind. I changed into my oversized T-shirt and climbed into bed. I had just pulled the sheets over myself when I heard a knock.
