I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1031 - The Cinderella Trap

"Good.

I'll talk to mother first.

All of you should get lost."

"Yes, mistress."

With that, the hidden guards, whom the lady referred to as 'Clouds,' quickly disappeared in a flash.

With that, the young lady had her meal deep in thought.

Who was she?

Well, she was none other than the 3rd Daughter of the famous Count Madison, born to the Count's 2nd wife.

Her name was Ezenia Madison, who many had described as the beauty with many faces.

It's said that her every expression was like poetry in motion.

Almost everyone who saw her was deeply fascinated by her.

After the beauties of the royals, she was ranked as the 5th beauty in the Capital.

Of course, her reputation was also boosted all the way up because right from birth, she had been engaged to Ulrich Tudor, the former crown prince of Deiferus.

She was just one step close to being queen.

But out of nowhere, a dark horse came in and ruined all her plans.

Henry Tudor!

The fool she had once picked on and even tried assassinating to help her fiance was now Monarch of Deiferus.

Dammit!

She had never been slapped in the face so hard in her entire life!

The portrait she had been looking at, was one that showed a dashing image of Henry on it.

That's right.

It took 2 entire months for her to brainwash herself and possessively take Henry as her man.

For her, it was all a matter of time before she had him l.i.c.k.i.n.g her feet.

Of course, she had also planned a prince saves beauty scene in order to trap him.

But who could tell her where her man had gone?

Her men said he was nowhere to be found, with no one knowing whether he was still in the Capital or not.

Rumours even said that he went away to get his lover over to the Capital.

Never!

Over her dead body would she allow someone to take her position as queen.

It was hers!!!!

.

The competition was fierce, and several casualties were already noted.

That's right.

With the backing of their families, the daughters and ladies of these prestigious Clans and families were all killing themselves for the throne.

All her plans should've worked.

But sadly, no one knew how His majesty Henry moved.

From the moment he took over, no one... Not even their spies whom they sent into the palace knew how or when he moved.

It was like he could disappear and appear at will.

So all their plans typically boiled down to luck.

Others tried falling into ponds during public ceremonies, hoping that he would jump on to rescue them.

The water would make their clothes somewhat see-through, and the fact that Henry touched them, even if he was saving them, was seen as intimacy that should only exist between married couples.

So if Henry had jumped in, then it would have to marry them by force.

They could also claim that he squeezed something he shouldn't have, and everyone would believe it.

At that point, their families, who were hiding and watching, would come out and force him to marry their daughters.

But even with all their scheming, who knew that Henry wouldn't follow the script?

He, who seemed to be walking alone in the gardens, didn't even bat an eye at them drowning.

He even began instructing them and teaching them how to swim.

There was a time when he even sat on one of the benches and took out a chocolate bar from his c.h.e.s.t pocket as if watching some show.

These ladies didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his brutality.

In the end, they even swam out of the ponds themselves.

What a joke. They weren't ready to die yet, alright?

Again, how could they give up so easily?

So decided to come out and have him look at their somewhat visible n.a.k.e.d bodies, but once again, Henry was one step ahead.

The moment he saw them trying to get out, he made like the wind and took off before they even got out of the pond.

Just like that, this guy had been avoiding all sorts of damsels and traps around the Capital.

Because of his movements, families paid huge amounts of money for information guilds and assassin guilds to gather his schedule.

Such info was like gold to them right now.

And even to this day, Ezenia had no clue where her future husband went.

Just like Cinderella, the clock was ticking, and if by midnight she didn't find the Prince, it would be game over.

Someone other b**ch would take him.

No? She had to ensnare him in her web no matter what it takes.

Only she could be queen.

.

Ezenia ate her meal quietly while slowly running her hands across his portrait.

Yes. She was desperately trying to brainwash herself into believing that she loved him.

She didn't want him to detect any form of lies or doubt when she met him.

Only in this way will her plan truly work.

This was also very beneficial because her heart already belonged to another.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

~Knock. Knock. Knock.~

"Enter."

With that, a maid quickly walked in: "Young lady. The 2nd wife is currently on her way."

"Hmmm. Stand outside and open the door for her when she comes in.." Ezenia said before continuing her meal in silence.

"Yes, young lady."

And not too long after the maid left, she heard the sounds of uneven footsteps, slowly making their way towards her bedroom chambers.

~Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap~~

The footsteps grew louder and louder until her door suddenly opened.

"Daughter, How are you today?"
