It didn't click for Daphne on what it could've been and she instinctively reached back to remove the source of discomfort. Her fingers quickly found the item and they wrapped around the rod-like object.

"Actually, the tub is big enough for the both of us." Daphne suggested, "We could always… bathe together."

For real tho… they’ve got some serious issues…
More importantly, he didn't fancy being stuck in the carriage with this married couple that had communication issues. He wasn't a masochist; if he had to sit through their arguments he might as well impale himself with his own sword to spare himself the misery.

I’m pretty sure he is… 👀👀👀
So of course he went after Jonah instead. He wasn't an idiot.

For real, and pretty soon she’s not gonna try anymore
Atticus blinked innocently, but there was a smirk on his face. "No, but I like seeing Daphne try her best to win me over." He sighed lovingly. "It's fun being on the other end of this for a change. I could get used to this."

"Then how did you end up in the kitchens today?" Atticus asked, an angry growl escaping his throat. "You clearly had ways to get past the guards. Who knows where else you could have gone before you even showed up in the kitchens?"
Fantasy · saltedpepper
😬
"You should know what the guards are actually for," Atticus said with a frown. "Right on our wedding night there were assassins that had broken into the castle past your defenses. I'm starting to wonder if you're really deserving of your role as the head of the royal cavalry!"

Aint that the truth 😂
"Come down for dinner."

"I can do it," Maisie volunteered, her eyes lighting up at the thought of improving the king and queen's relationship.
Fantasy · saltedpepper
Ahhh great. This is just what we need another misunderstanding
"What do you think you are doing?!"
Fantasy · saltedpepper
Blood hehe
And now, Daphne would probably never care for him again. In his attempt to hurt Eugene Attonson, he lost the one thing that he had come to care for more than his thirst for―

Gotta compensate for something haha 😂
"Doesn't hurt to try," Eugene said with a shrug. Then, he raised his voice and spoke into the clear quartz on the side table. It glowed right as he spoke, amplifying his voice. "200,000 gold!"

Hahah ahhh is that so now lol 😂
"Well, My Lady," he said slowly after he finally caught his breath, "it matters not what size it is but how useful it can be, is that not the case?"

Wow. What a horrible person
This was too easy― this new queen was an idiot. Cordelia had figured out that the tonic was actually a powerful aphrodisiac after Atticus had taken the first mouthful, and she was simply waiting for it to take effect. She simply needed the queen to panic and leave, so that Cordelia could offer to soothe the king's lust with her own body.
Fantasy · saltedpepper
And offending the Queen isn’t….??? Tf
With Jonah now present, Veronica and Penelope had no choice but to swallow down whatever fight they had prepared against Daphne. Only an idiot would offend him― doing so would be the same as offending the king himself.
Fantasy · saltedpepper
😢
"Veronica, that's enough," Penelope chided gently, but there was a mean glint in her eyes that Daphne didn't trust. She was proven right when that girl continued, "King Atticus may not want children with her, due to her… deficiencies. He has the kingdom to think about."
Fantasy · saltedpepper
Haha let’s hope not
Maisie blinked, before looking at Daphne as though she had the answers to her liege's unlikely behavior. Daphne could only shrug. Perhaps Atticus was allergic to being tackled by women?
Fantasy · saltedpepper
😂😂😂😂
His wife was also a great beauty and she watched their clasped hands with no small amount of wistfulness. What a loving couple they made!
Fantasy · saltedpepper
He’s really quite horrible….
"No," Atticus shot back. "It was late, the streets were dark, and you didn't even get a clear look at her face from where we were. Not to mention, this," he gestured to the broken carriage, "is definitely not an accident. I can't have you running around like that chasing after a ghost that might not exist. I don't have the time to babysit you."
