8: Waking up in a balcony

CATHERINE'S POV

I purposely sent Zara to the king's room, because I knew he was with that witch Gwen. I really didn't like her. Carl was my son and I didn't want that woman to trap him.

She may pretend in front of everyone but I knew she was a corning woman.

I watched as Zara staggered into the room. She was drunk and it makes my plan even more perfect.

I smiled when Zara walked into the room, I could just imagine the look on both Carl and Gwen's faces.

I walked closer to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"What are you doing?" Someone said from behind, making me jump in fear. I turned to see Aiden staring at me.

"You scared me," I said holding my chest.

"Mom are you eavesdropping on Carl," Aiden muttered with his eyebrow raised.

"Of course not," I replied, with an awkward smile.

He looked at me suspiciously, before he walked away. For a five years old, he acts like an adult. I looked at the door one last time before walking away, I didn't want anyone else to catch me eavesdroppi
