Chapter XIII

After that little lived moment of his, he took my hand and we went towards the dining hall to get our breakfast but this feeling is always there in my mind that whenever he touches me I feel special. Like I am a piece of a glass and will shatter easily if a little bit of pressure is applied. He held me this carefully.

He makes me feel special.

But I don't know why. I should hate him because he is the one and only cause of my destruction but still I can't hate him even though I know that I do not like him either but still what is this feeling that every time I get when we are together. Avoiding this topic I focused on my current task which is eating.

Since I haven't eaten for quite a while so I am feeling really hungry that is the reason I filled my plate with a lot of food. I only used one plate so the food piled up making a small tower.

When Myung-Dae's eyes landed on my plate his eyes widened for a second and he looked at me. Amusement swirling on those black orbs. Last night I complimented William's eyes but now getting a closer look on Myung-Dae's eyes they seem more beautiful. Both of their eyes have their own charm.

Like how Byung-woo's eyes are warm and welcoming while Myung-Dae's eyes are mysterious and beautiful. Myung-Dae chuckled looking again at my plate full of food and gave me an amused look while just in return I frowned.

What is that funny, I am just hungry.

We continued to eat our food in silence until I broke it. 

"I know that you are not going to give me any clue about my father and my kingdom so I am dropping that topic for now but there is another thing that I want to ask" I said giving extra stress on now.

His facial expression showed a little relief probably about the fact that I am not going to argue with him regarding my father.

He sighed and looked at me with a gentle smile encouraging me to speak my mind further and I did.

"Now that I am here I just want to know what I am going to do here, in this castle. I don't know anyone here except you and Byung-woo" I questioned. I didn't ask him why I am here because I know that he won't answer that question so I choose to ask a reasonable question.

But suddenly his pitch-black eyes darkened more if that is even possible and his jaw clenched.

Why is he angry? This time I just asked a simple question.

"How do you know about Byung-woo?" He questioned, still glaring at me. I hesitated for a moment. I didn't see that question coming.

So this is why he is angry?

"I...um...he was the one who brought me here so I got to know his name. It's just that" I answered, slipping last night's event for protective measures. Who knows what he would do. I just can't get what is happening in that man's head. But me knowing William is not a big problem or is it?

He visibly relaxed and gave me a sweet smile.

How can someone change moods so quickly? I wondered​.

"Sorry I didn't think about that, what you will do in here. You can go for a walk in the garden and I will also ask someone to give you a tour of this castle or..um..um... You can also go to the library. I know you love books that will be a great place for you" He said all of this nervously like he is afraid that I will not like any of these ideas and honestly he also looked a little scared. Just a little.

I smile at him. The first time I did. And nodded signalling that I like all of these ideas. I will love to roam around this huge castle or in the garden or to spend time in the library.

Just as he saw me smile a look of happiness made its way onto his face.

After that, we ate our food in silence and when I was assured I was full regarding my hunger I got up from the table so did he. He informed me that he got some work to do so he will get going and also that he will inform the butler to show me around the castle and I nodded excitedly ready to roam around this castle and to feel free for some time until harsh realities made their way again into my mind. Till then I want to enjoy my time.
