Shawn leaned closer to the phone, his eyes glinting with interest. "And what might that be, my lady?" he asked, his mind racing with possibilities. Catherine paused for a moment, feeling a thrill of excitement run through her. She couldn't believe she was flirting with the king, but she couldn't help herself. "I heard that being the queen of Australia comes with a lot of power, your grace," she said slowly, drawing out each word. "And I have to admit, I'm quite intrigued by the idea of having that kind of power at my fingertips."King Shawn's eyes widened in surprise at her boldness. He couldn't help but be amused by her enticing nature. “I like a woman who knows what she wants," he said, his voice growing even deeper.Catherine felt her cheeks flush with pleasure. "I know what I want, your grace," she replied with confidence. "And I'm not afraid to go after it."Shawn was impressed, he was starting to confirm that their union would not be so bad at all.

The entire Jones family along with hundreds of other close family friends and well-wishers all stood in the huge villa living room waiting for Catherine’s arrival. They were all very excited and nervous at the same time. After all, it wasn't every day that someone from their family became the future queen of their country.

Liana was taken aback by Catherine's blunt response and how she smartly turned the tables in her favor by being sweet and gentle while also shunning her. That wasn’t the reaction she was expecting from Catherine at all, especially since they’d clashed more than thrice in the past. She was truly aggravated and disturbed by the strange turn of events. Her little plan with Evelyn failed after all.After Catherine gracefully extricated herself from the uncomfortable encounter with Liana she continued to greet the guests.

"The kindred have been misunderstood and mistreated for far too long. Catherine's heritage does not define her worth or abilities. And I have every confidence that she is the perfect choice. Who do you think you are to question my authority like this?" Shawn thundered as anger flashed in his eyes.The duke leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "You are blind, Your Majesty. Blinded by infatuation and a misplaced sense of priorities. Your decisions are endangering the stability of our kingdom."A surge of anger coursed through Shawn's veins, his voice biting with sarcasm.
