Your lover

Dherek was frightened by the voice that sounded from behind them. Even Cyan jumped a little bit, which was very unusual.

She raised her head and saw King Nixon. Dherek turned to see who it was and he saw a furious-looking King Nixon. His hands were tightly curled into fists and the expression he had on his face was deadly.

"What on earth is going on here?" He asked again, this time in a low but deadly voice.

Cyan had no idea why he was so angry and she noticed that his angry gaze was on Dherek. 'What did Dherek do to him now?' She thought to herself.

It was at that moment that she realized how questionable the position they were in was. His face was very close to her chest, her hands were clutching his hair and his own hands were on her hips.

'Is that why he is angry? But why?' She wondered.

Dherek was terrified by King Nixon. He is King Nixon! He can do anything to him!

"Leave!" King Nixon growled at Dherek when both of them did not answer him. Dherek did not wait for him to say it another time before he quickly left.

Immediately after he left, King Nixon closed entered the room fully and closed the door. Cyan got off her bed and stood up.

"What were you doing with him?" He asked her in a low voice but Cyan could hear, very clearly, the annoyance in them. She decided to not tell him anything or explain that nothing was going on between herself and Dherek. 'It's not as if I am obligated to tell him anything.' She thought to herself.

"Are you together with him? Your lover?" He asked her again. "Why do you care? It's none of your business." She answered him with her chin raised.

"None of my business?" He asked her as he began to walk closer to her. Cyan had to will herself to not shift from where she was. 'There would be no repeat of what happened last night.' She determined within herself.

"You better stop right where you are, your Highness." She said rigidly. "Or else what?" He asked her back and was still walking closer to her.

Cyan suddenly noticed that her back had hit something hard and strong. She looked and realized that she had already backed the wall. She did not even know when she started moving backward.

Looks like her body is starting to disobey her mind. She looked and saw that he was also already in her front. She was trapped between his body and the wall. Again.

"Not my business you say?" He asked her.

King Nixon placed a hand of his on the wall and wrapped his other hand around her waist and drew her closer. "Wh-what are-are is yo-you doing?" She asked him, stuttering badly.

He stared at her deeply with a frown on his face. And then out of the blue, he bent his head and placed it right where her shoulder and her neck met.

Cyan's breathing turned irregular as she felt his hot breath on her neck. "Kin-King Nixon, wha-what exact-exactly ar-are you doing?" She asked with a shaky voice which slightly got higher.

She felt his lips on her neck. 'Oh my goodness, he just kissed my neck. ' She thought with her eyes widened.

His lips lingered there for a bit before they trailed upwards. She felt his lips on her jaw and then it trailed to the back of her ear.

His tongue darted out and he licked the inside of her ear. She involuntarily shuddered. "Tell me, who is he?" He asked her in a gentle and coaxing voice.

She did not answer at first and he gave her ear another lick. "Answer me, Cyan. Is he your lover?" He asked her again and this time, his voice sounded bewitching.

And truly, as if she was bewitched, she answered him. "No. No, he is not my lover." She answered, her voice sounding breathy.

"Good." He answered. He went back to her neck and gave it another gentle kiss before moving away. He stood up straight.

Cyan panted but tried her best to not show it or how much he affected her. He still noticed though.

"Why did you come here?" She asked after a few moments of silence and her trying to get herself together. "I was going to tell you something but then I walked into an unpleasant scene. And now, I do not feel like saying anything to you."

"Bye, for now, General. " He waved at her and gave a slight smirk before leaving.

"What on earth was that all about?" She asked herself.

...

Lilac walked into the maid's chambers in search of Yoddal. If she was pretending to be a maid then surely, she would be staying right at the maid's chambers.

Mena, the head maid, saw Lilac and recognized her from the previous night. 'She is one of the people that came with King Nixon last night.' She thought and quickly went to meet her on the way.

"You came with King Nixon last night, right?" Mena asked her. "Yes, I am." She answered her.

"I hope you are comfortable where you are?" Mena asked with a smile on her face. "Yes, I am," Lilac answered and tried to return her smile with a slight smile on her own face.

"What about the-" "Where is Yoddal?" Lilac cut her off.

Mena frowned. 'Yoddal?' She thought. She wondered why people were asking of her. First, it was King Richard and General Livius, and now it was the person who came with King Nixon. The girl sounds like a bag of troubles!

"She must be with the Queen now. She is one of the Queen's handmaidens." She answered her. "Did she do something wrong?" She asked her in worry.

It would be very bad if one of the maids from their Kingdoms offend those from Nirias. It definitely would not be a good look at them.

"Not at all. I will be leaving now-" She was saying when a voice came behind them. "Lilac!"

Lilac turned and saw Yoddal there. Lilac turned back to Mena and questioned, "I thought you said she is with Queen-"

"Yes, I am supposed to go to the Queen but I felt sleepy and decided to sleep more. Let's go." Yoddal said and left with Lilac following suit.

Mena looked on with surprise on her face. What exactly is up with this girl?!
