Chapter 17 Plane Ride Back

• Annie
• And that's how I ended up sitting on a pillow in a private jet seat, traveling over the Atlantic Ocean. Even with the white pillow embroidered with a golden W under my tender rear end, I still can't help but shift and switch positions. My ass really hurts and the pain and embarrassment isn't helped by my husband who keeps looking over and smirking at me. What a bastard. This entire day very much reminds me of the first time he ever spanked me and I don't know how I feel about that. It's nostalgic of our trip to the market where I had to sit in his car on a sore butt, which is an unpleasant memory, but it also reminds me of the rest of that day, the day I'm very much calling our first date. Which is once again... kind of deplorable and pathetic above anything else.
• The rest of the day passed by in much of a blur. I had to completely lie to my parents and tell them that Daniel confessed his love to me and that I'm going back there to live a happy royal life with him. Of course, they were skeptical, but once Daniel laid on that royal charm, they were once again hooked. It's kind of scary how well he can manipulate people, actually. I suppose it's a skill he's going to need if he wants to be a good ruler. Daniel is going to need to know exactly what to say and when to say it if he wants to effectively rule Verilia. I have no doubt that he can do it. I meant what I said in my letter; Daniel is going to make an excellent King. He goes after whatever he wants and he never lets up, but I've also seen his sweet side, the side that remembered my favorite dog breed or surprised me with a visit from my parents, and I know that side will help him be both a dependent and merciful leader.
