Chapter 7: He is cute

Serina's POV

"We will wait for the good news, Princess Serina." I'm itching to slit that neck of his. But now is not the right time. I will do my bets to hold myself back.

"Please do, Your Majesty." I said while my head is down. After the nonsensical goodbye's we depart. Once we reach the gate I'll transfer Hunter here in the carriage. I face palmed. I'm remembering my past self on him, on how I get tortured when I was barely sex years old.

I knocked the door and the coachman stopped the carriage, the Captain opened the door and I lend a hand to Hunter for him to enter the carriage. He is sweating. "Let's go as fast as we can." I ordered and they moved faster than before.

"Here, I'll wake you up once we get there." I offered my lap, and he just nodded. Now that he's up close... he's too thin. "You don't have to endure such things now. Sleep tight."

I kept petting his hair until we get there, he's sleeping soundly, he is even smiling so cute...

"Wake up. We're here Hunter." his eyes automatically opened when I called his name. He just stares at me, "Let's go?" I asked and he happily nodded.

"You don't have to wear that stupid mask either." I offered my hand and he grabbed it. Everyone's here in the entrance to greet my homecoming. Their heads are bowed down when we stepped out in the carriage.

"Blessings to Her Highness, the Crown Princess of Sapphire Kingdom." Oh nice, everything's going well with my plan. I took a glance at Hunter and..."Is something wrong?"

"N-no, nothing." I was f*cking stunned by his smile. H-how? How can they abused this--no nevermind.

"Let's head inside." I walked faster and he followed my pace, when we get inside the palace, the head butler approached me and requesting to have a talk if I'm not yet tired.

"Escort him to the prepared room, tend to his needs." They all bowed and, "Yes, Your Highness." I gave him a signal to go, I'll see you later.

"Bring tea to my room." I ordered and walked through my room. This place is too big, I'm tired from walking. This is so hassle. Should I get three more rooms? My feet is aching because of the heels, and I even have to go this and there.

I'm tired. The sun is also down, and the cold breeze are making me sleepy.

"Albert, postpone the talk for now, I wanna go to sleep after dinner." he nodded, "As you wish Your Highness, but let me bring your schedule for the week." I sighed. I'm doomed. This old dude never forgets responsibilities.

After fifteen minutes of walk to my room, I change my clothes and headed to the dining room. Hunter is already there waiting for me. "Was your room into your liking?" he nodded. He is quite shy with the new environment huh.

"Leave us for now." I ordered and the maid and the butler stepped out except for us. I feel like he wanted to talk. "You don't have to speak casually to me, just call me Selena or Serina." the dinner is steak, ugh great. I love meat.

"pfft"

Ugh f*ck my thoughts are flying away, "Please don't listen to my thoughts." this is--whatever he's going to marry me anyway...I glance at him while slicing my meat and he's, "Why are you blush...ing--" I slam the table and faced palmed. "I beg you to stop reading my thoughts."

"I-I'm trying!"

I won't think. I won't think. I won't--"I will close my eyes so be at ease Selena." I faced palmed again. Him calling me my almost forgotten name. Why do I feel warmth with his tone? I'm happy inside. "No need, I won't think anything in particular, so let's just eat and go to bed."

We eat silently, we both enjoyed the food to our hearts content. That was so satisfying. "Do you want to talk?" I asked and he--"You looked tired, you must rest for now." He sounded tired as well.

"Then let's talk tomorrow." I said with a smile. His eyes widened. Did my smile looked weird? Ugh whatever. My feet hurts, I wanna lie down on my bed.

"Call me if you needed something, okay?" he is about to nod but he hesitated. "This may be harsh, but...Why are you so kind to me?"

"I don't have a reason to repay someone who showed me kindness with violence." I smiled again, "Have a good night Hunter." I said while waving my hand but he suddenly knelt down.

"You can ride my back i-if you want?" I wonder if this is okay? "A-ahh i-it's fine if you don't, I'm just worried with your--I uhm...I owe you a favor for using your lap so I want to--" I yawn. Pardon my misbehaviour. I ride his back as I was really sleepy and I think I'm half asleep now.

My braincells are sleeping. "Thank you Hun..." His hair is really fluffy. I want to cuddle his head...it's curly...but it's so soft...felt like clouds.

_______

Hmm? What is this? Felt like I'm hugging a bear. This feeling...I don't want to open my eyes.

Did I got a bolster? A teddy bear? 

Wait this feels like my bolster back in my world...Did I unconsciously travel back to my world?

*Eyes open*

Oh it's just Hunt...Hunter?!

*Eyes widened*

What the f*CK?! "Ha?---" I pushed him since he's so close. How did this happen? Wait--w-we didn't do anything, right? No...this guy is too innocent. 

"G-good morning Selena."

But...Why is he here? Was his bed not ready yet? "You're so attached with my hair last night that you didn't let go."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You said y-you wa-wanna ////^//// ca-cuddle." He sounds like I'm bullying him. Aren't I the victim here? Why is he stuttering? Ugh I can't take this anymore. "Hunter...get out of my room."

I faced palm to hide my face. "Huh?"

"I said get out!"

I glance at him and his face is so shocked and his eyes are all teary... "A-ahh I didn't mean to--" he immediately ran out. Wow... I shouted because I'm embarrassed...

How did it turn out like this? And how am I supposed to say sorry? But I can't believe this--he is so fragile!
