"Claudia, you had enough fun. We need to meet the Queen," Maria said, her tone a little sharper than usual.
Claudia raised an eyebrow, catching the subtle flush on Princess Maria's cheeks.
"What's the rush, Princess?" Claudia teased, glancing at the couple with a sly smile. "You two were at it all night, waking me up over and over. And now you're complaining about me enjoying myself a bit? Not fair, don't you think?"
Maria's face turned even redder, and she immediately raised her hands in apology. "Sorry, sorry! We completely forgot you were there, Claudia. I promise, it won't happen again."
Adonis couldn't help himself and grinned mischievously. "Claudia, if you'd joined us, I wouldn't have minded."
Mariana's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Did you say something, darling?"
Adonis felt a cold sweat run down his spine. He quickly shook his head. "No, no, nothing at all, wifey. I was just kidding."
