12. Dining With His Lordship [II]

Her heart skipped.

Naya could see his conjunctiva swollen as it cover his eyes, she couldn't see his eyes directly.

Could he by any chance close his eyes and talk?

His face region was without furs but lightly brown unlike other parts with emerald furs and patches of Grey furs along his chest region.

He must be heavily weighted, his hugeness is more than Princess Eldaxon, Naya could easily compare as she had once seen his Prince in his werewolf shape.

However, something is different from what she had seen about werewolves.

What could that be? She focused her eyes on him to infer the difference but nothing popped out.

"King Lippana, I only know you to have Princes, I never thought you have a gorgeous Lady as a Princess,"

"And your second Prince, I barely see him around,"

A thunderstruck through Naya's heart, since His Lordship close his eyes, she was able to see his clear view with boldness, however, how can he say that while his eyes were closed,

How could he manage to see her?

Gorgeous Lady?

By any chance, does His Lordship see her as a Lady? Her heart was beating suspiciously.

However, she manages to stare at King Lippana. What answer would he give His Lordship? Likewise, she could see others eating as if none of them were curious about his question.

Was she the only one smelling danger?

How can they be calmed?

Then, she feels a warm hand through her fingers, staring partially beneath the table, Nick intertwined his hand into hers as it placed on her lap,

She glare at him, 'What?' Nick scoffed inaudible, right away, Naya feel some goosebumps in her stomach intensely gazing at him.

Nonetheless, King Lippana cleared his throat, he could not have hidden Nick if not for Naya, as Nick have to be with her almost every time to suppress her human scent.

"Your Lordship, as you've known female child in our kingdom did not have a voice than to craft clothes and learned the way of proper homing. I could not present my only daughter to the table before you,"

"While my second son is not yet an adult to join in the dinner with the king, I could not invite him before you likewise,"

Nick holds her hand still, even though he feels her legs quivering, this time he can't let her be. Whereas Naya feels the Chamber stuffy, despite the fresh air yet she could feel sweat running underneath her.

Over it all, she has not tasted a spoon from her meal.

As part of her was relieving to see His Lordship eating without questioning further, her body was cooling while her sweats subsidized.

"Uhn!"

She heard His Lordship growl after crushing a slice of sliced meat, this time, the growl dispersed lightly. All through, she was boldly staring at him that she caught a glimpse of His Lordship staring straight at her, if not for his eyes that were closed, their gaze would have been intense upon each other.

"Why aren't you eating... Naya?!"

Naya wish to be covered in a trench as Prince Eldaxon cut her out of her daylight slumbering, she glanced upon her untouched meal, her head spinning irrationally to realize every eye would be on her, especially His Lordship, would he have opened his eyes to see her?

How would he stare at her? More disgusting over her lack of eating etiquette?

"Princess Tinaya is always bright, I guess she's feeling awkward because this is her first time before His Lordship!"

Queen Malie said, Tinaya could hear the sound of her smile along with her defend.

This is why Naya won't doubt her love, she always stands for her anywhere, even when the King wants to scold her and Nick for any mistakes.

Here she does before His Lordship. Naya feels some butterflies in her stomach.

She took her spoon to eat one after the other.

The rest of the dinner went peacefully, still, Naya was curious as Nurret and Cyla led them back to their respective Chamber,

"How does His Majesty find out about Me?"

She asked Nurret immediately she enter her Chamber while drawling her to sit on the bed.

"I can't affirm yet, but I could guess His Lordship might saw you and Prince as you sneak into the Quarter,"

Naya narrows her eyes to remember, it was a hefty carriage she saw, could His Lordship by any chance see her?

She nods agreeing, "Oh! I guess that's possible."

"Uhn!" Nurret lean closer to untying her hair.

Naya still feels disturbed, if she did not ask Nurret now, she fears if she will be able to sleep throughout the night,

"But Nurret, I noticed something about him, his eyes were closed all through the dinner,"

"In fact, I wonder how he was able to see those meals he was eating,"

Nurret caress down her hair after losing it, "My lady, don't I ever tell you?"

Naya frowns to face her, "That?"

"His Lordship can see clearly even when his eyes were closed. I'm very sure he is not blind but his eyes are always closed,

"Just as no one has seen his human shape, likewise, none has seen his eyes color,"

"What?!" Her long black hair covers her face as she yanks it stunningly.

She ensure every information about His Lordship was kept under her left palm, she will never forget a pinch, How can Nurret not tell her this?

"What did you mean by that?"

"You mean His Lordship saw me as I look at him?"

Naya could not think it through properly, she rethink the event, His Lordship was eating while staring straight at her... right?

Her head scrunched, her hands drooped down, perplexed, her eyes were blinking at Nurret, "Nurret why! Why are you just telling me huh?"

"My eyes were watching him eating when I thought he closed them!" She yelped.

"I'm dumbed Nurret!"

"You are just telling me this crucial information?"

She shoved out her pillow, "Nurret! We need to share this consequence, what about he burn me alive?"

Nurret already sensed what Her Lady was about to do, she is very sure, she made her legs pace away from her.

"Come over here!"
