Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: THE KING’S FAVORITE POSITION
If Zaya had to be honest, all the thing that she said was not completely true, well some of them were the truth, but most of them were her exaggerated the story between them.

They did not get along in the first time they met, if she could say, he annoyed her.

But now the queen asked her to call for Rowan to proof what she said, she didn’t think he would embarrass her by declining the invitation, even though they had a little argument this morning.

Zaya was well aware that she shouldn’t have acted that way, but what to do? He slept around with so many women! How she could not be annoyed by that?

However, it was an entirely different story when the queen told her that it had been years since the last time Rowan came to visit her.

Zaya knew that Rowan and his mother’s relationship was not the best, because of what happened in the past when he killed the previous king and Rowan told her himself that he was not the most favored child for his mother.

But, she didn’t know the fact that he had not yet visited this place for years. How should she know everything when she just arrived only a few days ago?

The situation escalated so quickly.

Zaya twirled the tea cup in her hand, her smile didn’t falter, even though her heart was beating so fast. She was going to lose face if Rowan didn’t show up.

He wouldn’t be very petty for not giving her face for their fight this morning, but if he had not yet visited this place for years, it was completely different.

“Yes. The king has not yet visited his mother for so long. It will be great if you could mend the relationship between the two of them.” Lady Osborn looked very enthusiastic and all of them chimed in as well.

“Sure, why not?” Zaya giggled. She poured herself a cup of tea and put it down. She ordered Inez to deliver this message to the king that she wanted to see him in the queen palace.

All of them had this doubt in their eyes, so did Inez. She was well aware about the situation within the palace, but she went to ask for the king anyway.

“Now, we can only wait,” queen Katerina said, there was this triumphant look on her face. She relied on the hatred that Rowan had for her, for him not to show up.

Yes, now they could only wait and the tension must be not too subtle, because all the ladies started to give a hint that the king wouldn’t come.

“Oh, I need to get something for all of my guests and it will be nice to have my son in this palace again, so I will prepare something for him too. I will leave all of you for a while.”

Queen Katerina stood up and all the ladies bowed their heads respectfully, as she walked away. Zaya did the same, but she could feel the atmosphere shifted once the queen left.

This must be something that they had planned before and the queen used these ladies to get what she wanted.

And Zaya was right, because the moment the queen was away, all of these sweet ladies turned into vicious wolves.

“I doubt what you told us, princess Zaya,” lady Osborn stated, she picked her tea cup elegantly and took a sip. “I am not saying that the king is not capable of showing any affection, but your story is not believable.”

Zaya’s blue eyes scanned the expression of the other ladies and she sighed. This had been planned. The queen didn’t want to ruin her image, thus she used this method. What a cunning old hag.

“Why do you think so, lady Osborn?” Zaya asked, she looked calm and composed, just like the princess she was. She was not faltered at all, though she wondered whether Rowan would come or not and what she should do if he didn’t turn up.

“When the king was with us…” she immediately covered her mouth and looked at Zaya apologetically.

What a good acting that she tried to display.

Zaya would be more pissed than this if she didn’t already know about it. Should she thank Rowan for the warning? The thought pissed her off. She really wanted to burn this ugly table before her. If she was allowed to burn down these ladies, it would be great too.

“I am sorry, princess Zaya, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” Of course, that was exactly what she meant. “But, I am not sure whether you already knew about it or not, but…”

Lady Osborn looked around her nervously and all of the ladies looked at Zaya sheepishly. They looked very fake with their concern for not hurting Zaya.

However, the princess instead did something that they didn’t expect at all. Zaya started laughing when she saw their expression.

“Why are you staring at me like that? Don’t worry, I know that the king had slept with all of you,” Zaya said lightly. She almost looked like someone, who was talking about her favorite season.

There was no way she would give them the satisfaction to see the disappointment and anger in her heart for learning about that fact. She would deal with Rowan behind the close door and fight with him, but in public, they had to mind their images.

More so, to see their shocked expression was quite funny, it lightened Zaya’s mood a little bit.

“I have told you, haven’t I? The king and me are pretty open with each other, we can talk about anything, everything. He doesn’t hide anything from me.” Zaya sipped her tea and gave them her beautiful smile, as they gave her a warry one.

“Oh… in that case…” The other lady in grey dress cleared her throat and asked a question to Zaya. “Will you tell us how the king was with you in… bed? I asked this because I want to help.”

Zaya tilted her head. “How will you help me?”

Well, what Zaya should tell them? She was not sleeping on the same bed with Rowan. They had not yet done anything, aside from messing around.

“Do you know what position that the king like?” One of them asked. She giggled and blushed, but she was not the only one. All of them had the same reaction, as if this conversation excited them.

Now, Zaya could see why the queen left, because she wanted to leave too and her mask must have slipped for a moment and they could see that before she could school her expression again.

“You don’t need to worry princess, we will be here to help you of how to satisfy the king, since you have not been with him for long.”

Zaya wondered if it would start a war if she burned them down along with this whole palace? What Rowan’s reaction would be if she went through with her impulsive plan to shut them up?

Instead, she sipped her tea and put back the smile on her face. “Let’s hear what it could be.” She was seething, but trying her best to look excited.

All of them giggled again, they didn’t give her the answer and spent the next two minutes to exchange meaningful glances with each other, as if telling one another to be the one, who told Zaya first.

In the end, it was lady Osborn, who spoke, her face blushed and Zaya was sure she could make her face even more red than this.

“The king like doing it from behind,” she said and then they squealed.

Zaya raised her brows. She didn’t understand what the exact meaning of that and to see her expression, lady Osborn generously explained to her about it.

“How do you know that?”

“Because the king did the same thing to all of us.”

Zaya was speechless. She really needed to have more sex education to keep up with this topic. But, she knew another way around to play this game.

She put confidence smile and then giggled like the way they did before, but this time none of them giggled with her. They looked at her, confused. They thought this information would bother her.

Well, it did, but Zaya would never admit that.

“Always like that?” Zaya tilted her head. “He always did the same thing to you?”

They didn’t understand where this conversation was heading and why Zaya didn’t bother at all. “Yes. That’s his favorite.”

Zaya laughed again, this time she exaggerated and threw her head back. “I am sorry for laughing.” She hid her face in her hand and controlled her breath, while they looked at her as if she had gone insane. “I have to say that the king was way more creative when he was with me. I wonder, if he did it that way because he didn’t want to see your face, because when he did it with me…” Zaya lowered her voice and leaned over, which they subconsciously mimicked her movement. Oh, this was funny. “…he always looked at me in the eyes and told me how beautiful I am.”

All of them gasped, their face turned even redder.

But, before Zaya could bask in victory, queen Katerina returned and the situation became a little bit awkward now, yet Zaya was still laughing.

The queen confused, because she didn’t expect Zaya would be the one, who was laughing when she returned, but she composed herself quickly and asked.

“Is the king here already?”
