MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Christie’s POV

A lot had been happening since the arrival of Her Majesty’s famiły

members. Who knew werewolves would be difficult to handle? Being

a half–breed can be quite challenging, and the queen–to–be has made

me realize that from her perspective.

It has been one hassle after another. Three days had passed since

their arrival, and no one seemed to be getting along with each other. I

guessed the union of both families might never fully work out.

“Don’t be a lazy sack of potatoes and go get Her Majesty’s food ready.

Don’t see what she sees in you that grants you favor, but that’s with

her. Here in the kitchen, you earn such favor.”

An older maid in the kitchen said to me as she walked past, carrying a

tray with teapots.

You don’t reply. You don’t speak when you aren’t spoken to, and you

ought to do your job as you were assigned. I said under my breath,

reciting the little mantra I’d made for myself. It had kept me out of

trouble. Even Lady Agatha had steered clear of me since I’d started

doing some of my jobs properly.

“You talking to me, hybrid?”

The maid dropped the tray and walked toward me.

“No, ma’am.” I muttered, bracing myself for the usual slap that

followed. Lady Agatha had surely made her angry, and she was here to

pour that anger on me. It wasn’t the first time, and I’d learned to take

1. it.

“But I heard you say something.” She bent down to look at my face.

“I’m sorry.”

I got up immediately, hurrying toward the main kitchen to pack up

Freda’s food. I could tell the maid didn’t like how I’d reacted, but

luckily she didn’t follow me into the kitchen.

Once her food was arranged neatly on the trolley, I rolled it out of the

kitchen. The distance from Her Highness’s chambers to the kitchen

wasn’t far, but with the variety of food prepared, I had to use a trolley,

His Highness had demanded we feed her with the regular six courses

we served at the dining table.

As I walked past the music room, I saw Verestina with one of the queen’s guests. I was certain it was Lily, her stepsister, talking. It was the third time today I’d seen them together.

I didn’t mean to poke my nose or eavesdrop, but I did. The queen

would surely like to know what they talked about, I told myself as I

made my way to the chambers.

I arranged my garments and apron well before knocking on the door.

“Come.”

I heard her soft voice and pushed the large door open before rolling

the trolley inside and closing the door.

“Hello, Christie.” She said softly, and I smiled.

She was the only person to ever treat me nicely–well, she and Lady Agatha’s son. She had no reason to like me, but she did. I knew she related well to being a half–breed probably that’s why we clicked.

Regardless, I could do and was ready to do anything for her.

“Your breakfast is… what’s wrong? You don’t look as happy as you

sound.”

I frowned.

“It’s nothing, Christie.” She suddenly beamed with a smile. “I’m

starving. This food looks delicious.”

She dragged the trolley over to herself, already tasting some of the

food.

“Well, I might have more interesting things to tell you.” I sat beside

her as she always wanted me to. “I might have overheard a

conversation between Verestina and Lily.”

Her eyes shot up. Her mood had been down since the visit, and she

mostly stayed in her room. I did all I could to cheer her up, and I was

especially glad I did a great job. I’d only seen her out with the family

for dinner, and she was back inside with King Damien.

“What are they talking about?”

Her curiosity sparked.

し

“King Damien, They’ve rather become sudden friends talking about

your mate, my queen. Verestina mentioned how being in the house

could give her access to the king, and Lily is in support of it.”

Freda continued eating like she was unbothered, but I knew

somewhere she was worried about it. “Do you think they can be

successful?”

She asked after a moment of long silence.

“My queen…”

“Damien is in love with me. Verestina or whatever she’s called is no match. She can only try.”

I smiled, loving the confidence she had in the king. “It’s beautiful to watch how much you trust King Damien. However, she’s known him longer. Maybe there’s a weak spot she could easily target, and that’s what she’s preparing for.”
