Chapter 267: SAVING MYSELF
The question reminded them why they were still here and this also made Zaya became nervous again, since it had been a while when Inez left to get the king.
Her victory against these ladies had evaporated and now she went back to square one and her opponent regained their confidence again to put her down.
This situation was annoying to say the least.
"I don’t think the king will be here," Lady Osborn said, she looked at Zaya, almost as if she was sorry for her, which was the feeling that she didn’t need from her.
Zaya sipped her tea, thinking about what she should do if Rowan really didn’t come. She couldn’t blame him, if she had a mother like Katerina, she didn’t want to meet with her too. Thankfully, her mother was so amazing.
"Let’s wait for a while," Zaya said, she looked calm and this made Katerina upset, because she could ruffle her feathers. "He must be very busy at this moment for not coming here."
"I am sure if he cared so much about you like what you said to us, he will come here no matter how busy he is right now." Katerina kept her voice even, but her eyes filled with rage and it didn’t go unnoticed by Zaya.
"Hm. You are right, queen Katerina," Zaya said, she put down her empty tea cup. "Or probably, his dislike toward you triumphed his feeling for me. I should have worked so hard to fix the relationship between you two, if that’s the case."
Of course, Zaya didn’t have any intention to fix anything. This was not her relationship and she was not fond of her future mother in law. It would be better if they didn’t visit this palace anymore in the future.
"I don’t need you to meddle in my relationship with my son," Katerina said, her voice was harsher than she intended it to be.
"I am sorry for crossing the line, queen Katerina. I am sure you know best." Zaya didn’t say that with genuine intention, but to mock her, but the queen couldn’t find fault in the way she said it.
