Raised From The Wild-Chapter 165: An Old Pervert

King Ralden realized his mistake and recovered quickly so only a small amount of coffee spilled and smeared the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth clean.

"My King, are you alright?" Zanzara hurriedly took out her own handkerchief and wanted to wipe the corner of his mouth but King Ralden stopped her. He passed her the soiled handkerchief and told her to throw it away.

The handkerchief has the logo of Ra-iya and it has an embroidery of the king’s initials. How could Zanzara throw it away? She passed it to her servant who was waiting on them and told her to wash and keep it for her.

Zanzara glared at Amara. Though King Ralden was discreet about it, she noticed how he stole a glance at Amaya’s exposed thighs. She has worn a skirt shorter than hers but how come she looked very alluring?

Amaya has learned very well under the coaching of Clarissa. Her back was straight and her posture was regal. She was sitting as a proper princess would which made her look even more attractive. Her white dress was simple and printed with dainty flowers. The square neckline showed her beautiful collarbone and slender neck. The pop sleeves just covered a small portion of her upper arms and the rest were exposed. Her slender arms were pleasing to look at.

Zanara’s gaze slid lower to her ample breasts. She has endowed bosoms that were the envy of women like her. She was jealous of Amaya. She knew full well that the only reason why she was marrying the King of Ra-iya was because he could not marry Amaya.

King Ralden, glanced at Amaya a second time. He seemed to be drawn by her beautiful legs. When he realized what he was doing, he pulled away and looked at King Duncan. He scolded himself. Why does he feel like he was an old pervert? Hasn’t he seen a lot of naked bodies of varying shapes and sizes?

Zanzara was trying to catch Amaya’s attention. When Amaya finally looked her way, she signaled with her eyes about her skirt. Amaya looked down and did not find anything amiss. Nevertheless, she still pulled down her skirt casually but a portion of her thighs were still exposed.

Amaya straightened her back and casually placed her hands over her thighs. She looked at her grandfather and asked, "Why did you summon me, Grandpa?"

"As you know, your cousin is getting married to King Ralden in the next two months. Zanzara wanted you to be her maid of honor."

Amaya was dumbfounded. She looked at Zanzara and could not believe it was her idea. Was it really her, or was it King Ralden? If she thought about it, it was possible that Zanzara would want to gloat about her marriage. She wanted to make her jealous hence, she would want to make her the maid of honor. She shifted her gaze to King Ralden who was looking at her. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled innocently at her.

"Grandpa, shouldn’t it be Tatiana or Shanaya? They know Zanzara better than me. Besides I have a lot of things to do and I don’t have time at all."

"You don’t need to do anything. You just dress up and be there on the wedding day." Concubine Zia reassured her.

Amaya didn’t have interaction with her Aunt Zia in the past. Her grandfather’s concubines lived in a separate building in the southern part of the palace.

Amaya hesitated. King Ralden whispered something in Zanzara’s ears.

"Cousin, this wedding is very important to me. I hope that the First Princess will honor me and My King with your presence as my maid of honor."

’So, it is because of my identity as the First Princess that she is selecting me over her sister and cousin?’

"Okay, then. But I will be very busy and cannot help out. Besides I don’t have experience."

"Don’t worry Princess, we will take care of everything." Concubine Zia said.

"Alright, it is settled then. If there is nothing else, may I be excused?" Amaya asked for permission to leave.

"Wait, isn’t the opening of Simply Jewel scheduled tomorrow? Did you give King Ralden an invitation?"

"No, Grandpa."

Zanzara’s eyes lit up. She remembered that there was an auction on Saturday evening and she saw that many jewelry pieces were very beautiful.

"My King, do you want to come with me at the auction?"

"Can I see the invitation first?"

Zanzara asked her servant to get the invitation from her room. The servant was back in no time, carrying an exquisite invitation card. When King Ralden opened it, a subtle fragrance wafted into the air. The scent was pleasant. It did not give him any headache. There was a QRCode in the invitation and when he scanned it, he was directed to a website that contained photos and videos of the featured jewelry pieces.

King Ralden lifted his head and stared at Amaya. He was surprised to see that many of the auctioned items were designed by her. She was truly a gem. He now understood why her family was very reluctant to marry her off.

"When did you learn to design jewelry, Princess?" He asked in a charming tone.

"I can’t remember. Maybe when Daddy Ibrahim made me my first tiara," Amaya answered nonchalantly.

"Your designs are very good. How about you design our wedding ring?" King Ralden would not waste any opportunity to interact with Amaya. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Amaya thought for a while. It was just designing a pair of rings. She can consider it her wedding gift to the couple.

"Alright. You can then consider that as my wedding gift for you and my cousin, Your Majesty."

King Ralden smiled triumphantly. He thought that for as long as he can interact with Princess Amaya, he would have a chance of trapping her and letting her fall in love with him. Once she is deeply in love, then she can be his slave just like all the other women in his harem.
