The moment Edmund left the room, Primrose threw herself onto the bed and screamed into the pillow as loud as she could.
How dare Edmund do something like that?! Why did he always lift her up out of nowhere and make her feel so flustered?
And the worst part was why did she get embarrassed so easily around him?
Where was her pride? Had it already disappeared?
She rolled over dramatically, not even caring that her hair was now a total mess. She took a deep breath and then another, trying to slow down her racing heart.
It worked. Well ... for five minutes.
Then, out of nowhere, her mind dragged her straight back to that soft kiss Edmund had given her.
She could still feel the warmth of his touch. The way his hard muscles pressed against her. His hands lifting her, holding her close.
Damn it!
Primrose kicked the blanket off the bed so hard it fell to the floor, then got up in a huff.
She started pacing around the king’s bedroom like a restless cat, mumbling to herself.
After almost fifteen minutes of walking in circles, her heart finally began to settle.
"Alright, it was just a kiss, Primrose," she told herself, taking another deep breath like she was trying to calm a storm inside. "Pull yourself together."
Thankfully, she didn’t have to fight her thoughts for much longer. It was because Two maids came into the room, carrying a fresh set of clothes and ready to help her get cleaned up and dressed.
"Should we just move to my chamber?" Primrose asked softly.
She figured it might be easier for the maids to dress her there, since all her beauty products and jewelry were in her own room.
"There’s no need for that, Your Majesty," one of the maids said with a gentle smile.
The maid, whose small fangs peeked out from the corners of her mouth, walked over to the vanity and opened a drawer beside it. Primrose’s eyes widened in shock when she saw it.
Inside the drawer were beauty products, hairpins, jewelry, everything a woman would need to get ready in the morning.
How ... how did these things end up in Edmund’s room?
Wait a minute. These items looked oddly familiar.
They weren’t just similar to what she had in her bedroom, they were exactly the same.
Primrose froze.
No way ... Does the mighty Lycan King secretly enjoy playing dress-up when no one’s around?!
She quickly shook her head, trying to erase the ridiculous image from her mind.
"Are all of these ... His Majesty’s?" she asked the maid carefully. It was better to ask than keep wondering.
The maid’s lips curled into a smile. It was meant to be sweet, but something about her smile gave off an oddly creepy clown vibe.
"His Majesty told us to fill this drawer with the things you usually use in the morning, Your Majesty."
[His Majesty is really something else ...]
[He actually wanted to keep the identical accessories and beauty things in here, just so the Queen wouldn’t have any trouble getting ready after spending the night in his room.]
