Some Other World

Chapter 9

Reader’s pov:

I saw Catherine in the garden and went to talk to her. She was sitting on the bench watching at flowers with a smile on her face like she was thinking something. 

I cleared my throat to gain her attention. 

At first, she looked at me with a surprised look on her face which was replaced by something hateful? 

She stood up and looked into my eyes “what are you doing here? You are not supposed to be here or even in this castle. I don’t know why Steven let you come here in the first place.” she scoffed. 

“Ok, she is definitely a bitch.” I thought. “Oh I didn’t know you own this place, I thought it’s king steven’s castle, my bad” I smirked.

And that made the bitch more furious “how dare you to talk to princess, like that. Just because everyone thinks you look like me doesn't mean you can talk to me like that. And I don’t even think you look like me. I’m more beautiful than you, I’m a princess, who are you?. You even don’t know who you are. You..” she was bitching but cut her off 

 “Seriously? What the fuck is your problem, I just came to talk and you’re just shiting on me? Why, because, a lowlife girl looks like a princess? And if you can question a King’s actions standing in his castle, then I can also talk to you, however, the fuck I would want to because you are not my princess” I said everything in a single breath and went away. 

Ok so first of all that was stupid, I shouldn’t have acted like that. But scolding yourself literally was fun. I went into my room and closed my door. A moment later I started laughing, like a crazy person. I felt quite good after insulting the bitch princess.

I knew in the morning I would be questioned or maybe even punished but it’s not like I cared. I’m a fucking avenger who had fight aliens and robots. Who the fuck are these people?

And with that, I went to my bed and slept feeling satisfied, for the first time since I came here.

The next morning went the same except that I was feeling epic. Everyone at the breakfast was giving me an amused look with a suppressing smile, which I returned without any hesitation. 

Everyone except for my lovely princess. She was the glaring dagger at me and I gave her a sweet smile just to piss her off, more.

No one called me to scold me for disrespecting myself, until evening. 

I was laying in my bed, as usual, doing nothing when a little knock on the door disturbed me. I knew I was called by Tony or Steve. 

Reluctantly, I stood up and went to open the door. And what surprised me was that King Steve himself came to my door with a guard. “May I take some of your time?” he asked smiling. 

I nodded and he took me to the garden. The same place where I insulted that arrogant princess. 

Steve dismissed the guard and then turned to me, straightening himself. I looked up at him, he had an amusing smile on his face “you would probably know why are you here?” “yes and I have been waiting for this moment since the morning.” I smiled. 

“You know, you are supposed to give respect to the royalty. King Anthony didn’t say anything that night because he finds amusement in every other thing. But princess Catherine, she takes her status very seriously. And it's treason to disrespect royalty.” he responded.

“Well, your majesty,” I said sarcastically which made him chuckle. “Isn’t it rude to question a king?” “Everything you say to a king or queen or whatever, they somehow find that rude” I murmured the last part. 

“Yes, it is but...” he said but I cut him off  “ well then that arrogant bi.. I mean princess Catherine was doing the same, she was questioning you, that why did you bring me here? And as I’m living in your castle you are my king, so I can’t tolerate this kind of rudeness for my king.” I said dramatically. 

He took a step towards me invading my space and that surely did get my heartbeat fast “your king huh? Am I your king now?” he said in a husky voice. 

I closed my eyes and took a breath before opening them. What the fuck is wrong with him?  

I opened my eyes but didn’t look at him “y..yes, I mean technically I am living here in your place and I don’t remember anything about my life, so it’s safe to call you my king I guess” I chuckled nervously.  

He was so close to me that I could feel his breath on my face. I couldn’t handle this torture and was praying that this just ends soon. And luckily it did, before he could say anything else, someone cleared their throat, breaking our moment. At first, I sighed in relief but then I saw Bucky and Nat looking at us with a teasing smirk and with the same look my Nat gave me when she discovered my crush on Steve…..
