Cara's POV.

"No..." I heard the strong voice of the man standing in front of me thunder around. I flinched at his tone but what left me perplexed was, it was absolutely my choice to make. Just because he was sinfully good looking, that doesn't give him right to take a decision from my side. Even Mr. Jeck,  looked quite angry. "That's her decision to make, my majesty." he said his voice crisp and without any trace of fear. My majesty? Is he a king for real? But for a king, he was quite humbly dressed.

"Don't forget, whom you are talking to mortal." he said his voice oozing arrogance. Mortal? Is this man thinking of himself as God? But before I could think some more I heard Mr. Jeck's faint voice, "Sorry my Highness." he said and that shocked me more. He was behaving with me with utmost cruelty and he is being so timid with the mystery man. I stared at him in awe. He made Mr. Jeck, the cruel money lender behave like a kitten. I saw him smirk and he turned towards me. Damn! This is the second time! I focused on my worn out shoes. "You can have the house." he said and a confusion clouded me.

Who was he to decide? And why is Mr. Jeck nodding, I thought he wanted to marry me. But anyways it was what I wanted to do, so I let it be. But what will happen now to me? Where will I stay? A sudden panic surrounded me at the thought of losing the warmth of my home. I closed my eyes to stop the tears, it was the least I could do. I am such a incapable... But before my thoughts could drool. I felt the mystery man take my hand in his and it did strange things to my stomach.

I gulped, I was feeling heady and the last thing I saw before I fell unconscious was his beautiful face. I felt like I was moving and water being sprinkled on my face. "Wake up,  beautiful." he called. Oh God! I can't believe I lost my home and am travelling in a royal looking carriage with a unknown man. I guess my panic was given away because he came closer to me but that didn't help at all. "I.. You.. Who are you? And why you brought me with you?" I asked but it came out as whisper as I kept on staring at my lap. His hand went around me and again I started feeling heady, "Shh... Breathe in... Breathe out.. " he said. And I did, it would be a lie if I say it didn't helped. I felt we have travelled a lot and the vehicle came to a halt. He went out, whatever his name is and I could only hear faint noises of talking, but I couldn't make out what they were talking.

I caught image of a gorgeous looking man and a more gorgeous looking man aka our mystery man standing and talking. "I would need the carriage. Okay." he said at last and again got in. I blinked once before again averting my gaze. What is happening? I feel so out of control of my own life. Not that I was in control ever before, but now, everything seemed out of place. I was literally travelling with a man, I didn't know even the name of..."Cara.." he called me and I didn't know why I shivered, it wasn't even that cool. He once again started nearing me, when I finally decided that I need to speak, "What's your name?" I asked. "I am Keith Neil, I am the King of Invincible." he said and my eyes widened. The so called, rumoured magical Kingdom of Invincible, had such a handsome King? I shook my head, my cheeks burning, after the great revelation, is that all I could think?

He smirked and the carriage finally came to halt. He went out first and gave his hand to me. I felt very u sure of what to do, but there is no question of declining a King's offer, I may end up in the dungeons. So, I better be good too, when he is being good to me. No doubt, Mr. Jeck, didn't speak a word, but still he didn't have the right to give away my house like that. He pulled my hand in his and started walking. I tried my best to match up to his steps buy it was getting more and more difficult. There was a majestic and out of the world looking, beautiful palace standing in front of me in all its glory. It was pure white in colour with golden designs. I was awestruck. "Wait here." I heard the King's husky voice in my ear and I shivered again. I didn't know why I was shivering, so much.

I stood there patiently with many normal people going here and there all while bowing to the retreating figure of their King. A particularly beautiful lady came walking to me. But it was not her beauty that caught my attention but her dress.

She walked with a elegance only fit for a queen

She walked with a elegance only fit for a queen. Her body swayed gracefully. Maybe she was the queen, I didn't know why but that made me feel physically sick. But she was quite under dressed. I had the urge to cover her up but she looked fine, so I guess she must be. She looked at me and smirked. My face immediately flushed in embarrassment, I was obviously gawking at her. "Who are you little girl?" she asked, though I felt offended... I was not little. I turned 17!! But I didn't wanted to mess with her, so I told her my name, "I am Cara." again my voice betrayed me and came very low. "So, you are here to be my new maid?" she asked raising an brow, I looked at her confused. But maybe that's my fate now. I am going to be a maid. That's why the King brought me here. Atleast I will have the basic necessities of life. I nodded slightly at her, "Maybe, I am unsure.. " before I could continue I saw her smiling kindly and then heard a loud voice and turned to look at a very mad looking King, I immediately bowed my head but fear was eating me out.
