Tangled By Fate

Chapter 156 - HIS TRAP WAS GOOD

"Will you say that, my dear princess? Maybe I should take you to the bed and eat you. Forget about breakfast, all right?" Arthur let out an evil smile. As if his eyes were also smiling and saying, 'Finally, you are mine now. Now you will know how devilish I can be.'

As though Veronica could read his mind. 'Is that why he was always asking me whether I wanted to marry him or not?' she wondered. 'I think I made a lifetime decision on a whim. I should have known him better and prepared my heart before I got married.'

There was no point in regretting now. She grumpily said, "Fine! I'll say it. My husband, I love you. Now put on some clothes!" Even though she looked moody, her face was as red as a tomato.

Arthur's heart softened after seeing her expression. 'So cute~' he thought. Then, he asked, "Where is my kiss?" He moved his face closer.

"…" Veronica was on the verge of exploding. However, she didn't have the heart to continue bed business at this moment. She gritted her teeth to control herself. Afterward, she stood up and pecked on his cheek. "Now go!" She pushed his chest.

"Hmm? The kiss was supposed to be here," Arthur pointed at his lips.

"You!" Veronica wished to shout but held back when her eyes landed on the bed behind him. It was a mess because of yesterday's activities. Her face heated up and then glared at him. She took a deep breath. 'If you wanted me to kiss me on your lips, why did you put your cheek close to me? You deliberately wanted me to fall for another trap, didn't you? If I defied you, you would go for another round. As if I'm that na?ve. I'll never make the same mistake again!'

She calmed down while thinking she was intelligent enough to read his mind. She obediently hugged his neck and kissed his lips. She pretended to give him a passionate kiss but the moment her lips touched him, she moved away. She headed to the door while saying, "Dress up now. I'll go to the kitchen."

"…" Arthur, who was waiting to be kissed passionately, was dumbfounded by this unexpected outcome. After she left the room, he felt like his soul left him. However, the light touch of her lips was still lingering. He pressed his lips with his fingers and stared at the door.

'She learned quicker than I thought. I have to come up with another plan next time.' He smirked.

He suddenly felt like he was revived. He could smell the floral scent. His bedroom didn't seem dull anymore.

He wore a white shirt and purple pants. After that, he attached a purple velvet cape with a golden design at the edge. Checking himself one last time in the mirror, he turned to leave.

He paused in his track and looked at the bed. The red silk bed sheet was still wet. A mixed smell came from it. He picked up the bedsheet and searched for some time before finding what he was looking for. He could differentiate a red bloodstain from the red-colored bed sheet. He traced her blood and decided, 'I should keep it in my office. I'll keep it in a glass box. The box will be near my table. Every time I get tired of work, I will look at it.'

Just as he planned, he went to his office and searched for a glass box. When he couldn't find any, he went to Ovior's office. His office was dark since the master of the office wasn't there. He found a glass box he was searching for and took it to his office.

Meanwhile, Veronica used the magical escalator to go to the kitchen. She was starving to the point that her head was dizzy.

There were two kitchens in the tower. The lower rank magicians and apprentices would eat in the third floor kitchen. The higher rank would eat on the fifty-fourth floor. The whole floor was for kitchen and dining. The kitchens were always open. Three teams worked in the kitchen. Each team worked for eight hours.

She went to the kitchen and saw a group of the kitchen staff. They were at a meeting to come up with a new recipe. They saw the Mistress of the Magic Tower entering the kitchen. They hurriedly stood up.

Veronica felt awkward by their action. "Please sit down. Were you working? Did I disturb you?"

The Head Chef hurriedly replied, "Not at all, Mistress. What do you want to eat? We'll cook anything you want."

Veronica told him, "I want to eat something sweet. I need a lot." She talked to herself in her mind, 'I need energy. Sweet is the best option. The patissier of the tower also bakes yummy cakes. It's worth eating.'

The head Chef politely stated, "Please give us five minutes. We will prepare something right away."

Veronica slightly hesitated before answering, "What about the wedding cake? I saw the wedding cake yesterday."

She wanted to slice the cake with her husband after the wedding ceremony. Who knew Arthur would directly take her to the bedroom? She was so embarrassed that she could hardly look at the kitchen staff.

The Head Chef smiled. "Mistress, it was a ten-storied cake. Since you love cake, we saved three stories of cake just for you."

Veronica's face lit up. "I want three slices."

"Sure. Would you like some sandwiches?" he asked her.

'I can eat sandwiches too. Why didn't I think of that?' Veronica pondered. She inquired, "Is there any chicken sandwich?"

"Of course, please take a seat." The Head Chef already knew her love for meat. Arthur specially told him to cook at least one meat dish every day. Each day had to have a different meat dish. That's why the chefs were in a meeting.

They noticed a positive vibe in the bloody tower for the first time. Everyone was in debt to her. The person who brought that blessing, deserved to have whatever she wanted to eat. Some meat dishes were nothing.

"What are you doing?" a voice asked from behind.
