*Jane*Fortunately, I could finally leave the room. As I turned the handle, anticipating the door to open, I felt a large hand on top of mine.The hand was large yet cold, sending a flush to my face.The coldness of the hand stifled the screams that were about to escape my mouth.However, that doesn't mean I wasn't anxious and scared. “Who's in this room with me?” As I wondered, my mind kept going places.Could it be some spirit? Who aside from a spirit would be in such an enclosed room that seems suffocating.Finding my voice, I finally asked in an anxious yet hurried voice. “Who… who are you?” I need to know the identity of this person, before I can decide whether to scream or find another way to escape.However, more and more seconds passed, without the individual speaking.His silence made my heart tighten even more. I started thinking dangerous thoughts. Was this man a dangerous person?Could it be a kidnapper? Or an enemy?As I tried getting an answer, the anxiousness within
*Jane*Hearing him ask this, made me sigh inwardly. What I feared for eventually happened. I knew Damon would ask and be curious about what I was doing in this room, talk more or even come to this second floor in the first place, but what I didn't think of was the response I would be giving to him.Gathering myself, I muttered with my face lowered. “I’m sorry King Damon. I shouldn't have left the first floor to this second floor. I would never try acting more than myself again.”I have thought it through and felt admitting to my deeds would help me a little.I made sure to be sincere with my apology. Although I knew the consequences of what I wanted to do, I still went ahead to do what I had in mind, so it was normal that I apologized.Seconds after I apologized, I didn't hear anything from Damon. Why was he silent? Didn't he hear what I said? I darted my eyes in confusion, as I suddenly felt a shape piercing glare at my skin. The piercing glare on my skin made me alert as I wondered
*Jane*Damon must be exhausted yet Zeeb still had the effrontery to bring in more work for him to do. My chest was puffing in anger. In fact, if I get the chance to see him alone, I would question him.I watched in utmost anger as he dropped the many files on the table that were already piled with documents already.I didn't even realize when watching that I'd forgotten to check the books I stood up for.After Zeeb dropped everything, he remained silent, then said. “About the drought town, reports have been delivered to us.” From his solemn tone, I could tell it was something serious he was about saying.I suddenly felt awkward. Would it be alright if I'm here listening to anything important? I wanted to leave yet I was still confused. After enough thinking, I decided to leave. I don't want any problem cropping up just because I'd listened to what they were saying.With that decision, I dropped the book in my hand back to the shelf and started walking out of the office.My legs were
*Jane*Hearing her response, I pursed my lips.“Oh.” I murmured in understanding.However, I was feeling bittered inwardly knowing it was Damon that sent her.Gosh, I shouldn't be expecting anything good from that cold hearted King.Hmph! I puffed my head trying to act as unaffected as ever.“Yes.” She nodded.Without wasting time, I stood up from the bed and wanted to arrange the white large bed.If it had been my room, I wouldn't have done this the moment I left the bed, however this office and bed wasn't mine, it was for Damon and I don't want any arising issue.“No ma'am, you shouldn't do this.” From myself Florence panicked voice was heard. I glanced at her confusingly as I stared at her almost ashened face. However, I didn't stay confused for long having remembered that she was a servant and their job was to do such things.“Oh okay.” I didn't want to make her be in a difficult state, so I stopped arranging the bed.“I'll be going to my room now.”“I'll follow you.” She hurried
Jane*It was pretty awkward getting caught, but I accepted his smile. Without bothering to look at him anymore, I forced myself to continue walking down on the stairs. Getting off the stairs, I approached the chair slowly, my face all tensed.It took me almost like forever to get to the chair. When I got there, Damon noticed the footsteps and quickly glanced up at me.When he raised his head, he had this usual cold and stoic expression of his however I noticed something different and surprising. A touch of warmth seems to have been detected.Sadly I only noticed it for a moment before it vanished away. I couldn't be wrong, right? There was no way my eyes would have failed me like that.I calmed my nerves and sat at the empty seat opposite him.A minute and so passed with silence filling the air. His aura wasn't helping the issue at all.When I couldn't bear the silence anymore, I broke it.With a grumbling voice, I spoke. “King Damon good morning.” I greeted.As I greeted, I wondere
*Jane*I sipped the coffee, and glanced at Damon, who was elegantly sipping his coffee.From the way he held his cup to the way he sipped the coffee was really impressive. I can't help watching him sip.Moments after, a thought crossed my mind, as I frowned.Before I could even ask Damon, I noticed his eyes on me. “What's wrong?” He asked, with his cold voice which he must not have noticed.His eyes seemed less cold, so he perhaps didn't expect his voice to melt.I heaved in relief. When he had asked, he didn't know that he had just helped me by saving me the stress of asking first.I made sure I had a nonchalant expression, before I went ahead to ask my bothersome question. “Um, I haven't seen Emily and her parents today. Where are they?” I asked, as I darted my eyes around.Unexpectedly, just as my question fell, Damon face hardened, as he muttered. “They have gone.” He said, shortly.Looking stunned, I went ahead to ask. “What do you mean by they have gone? Gone to where?” I coul
*Damon*My eyes widened in surprise. She usually spends only a brief moment in the living room before heading upstairs again, so why the change today?I wasn't in a hurry for answers. I walked over to the chair, sat down, and fixed my gaze on her.She seemed surprised to see me seated. I scoffed, realizing she must not have noticed when I came down the stairs.How carefree of her.“You're here?” She asked with a surprise look on her face.Seeing her giving a surprise expression, made me frown even more.“You're just noticing?” I asked shortly, my eyes rolling inwardly.“Yes.” She nodded.Gosh, uh forget it. It would be unreasonable trying to say anything to her.So I simply ignored her and faced the TV. It felt so weird watching the television when I'm someone who never watches one.However, I couldn't back off now.As I watched, I slowly found it boring. Watching this doesn't seem meaningful at all.Just when I thought I would be dying of burden, I heard the little girl speak, with m
*Jane*When Mara had pulled me, I let out a small wince.”Ahh.”Mara was caught by my wince. Her face suddenly changed to a discoloring one. “What's wrong? Did I hurt you?” She sounded anxious, her face almost pale.I pursed my lips, with my expression ugly, as I used my hand to describe. “It hurt a little.” “Oh I'm sorry Jane.” Although when I said it hurt I wasn't lying. When Mara grabbed me, I didn't expect it, so I shifted, making her nails scratch my skin. However, my whole reaction seems a little exaggerated.“It's fine.” I said, with my expression still looking hurtful.Mara pursed her lips in silence. Even though she was being silent, I could tell she wasn't calm inward. I felt a touch of warmth inside of me, however I still wanted to get worked up as a punishment for refusing to tell me how her days went when she left the castle.After a minute,I couldn't bear seeing her guilty face anymore. I ached inwardly knowing I really wasn't hurt yet I got Mara all anxious and sad. “
