Chapter 173: Poisonous Flowers Reminds Me Of You
Aleksander’s voice echoed within the intricate high walls and ceilings of the Rose Palace. His wife wasn’t entirely paying attention, as Elys noted that the flowers from her side of the chambers had slowly crept into the hallways, making its way around the banisters and pillars.
"You know I really love the way this looks," she commented on the flowers that bloomed as they walked by.
"I am glad that you do," Aleksander beamed. "I handpicked that because it reminds me of you. Do you know that it is actually poisonous?"
Elys gasped sarcastically and raised a brow at him, "You think I am poisonous, husband?"
Aleksander laughed for a bit and then explained, "You are poisonous in a good way, my queen. Beautiful and exquisite, with a bit of danger to those that would dare to defy it."
Lady Azalea who was closer to the two heard of the conversation, and she couldn’t help but roll an eye. If there was something the young king inherited from his father, it was the fact that he had a way with flowery words laden with honey.
How much of it was the truth, they would never know.
The noble lady was staring at the royal couple’s backs when all of a sudden, she felt a chill run up and down her spine. She raised her eyes and stifled a gasp as Aleksander’s golden eyes were staring at her whilst the queen was preoccupied with the flowers.
Lady Azalea’s eyes shook, as she had recalled the king could actually read minds.
