**The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 145**
Hera’s beauty was undeniable, radiating an elegance that could captivate anyone who laid eyes upon her. Yet, standing beside her was an elven princess whose presence seemed to eclipse even Hera’s allure. The air around her shimmered with an ethereal quality, as if she belonged to a realm beyond our own.
A peculiar sense of recognition stirred within me, a whisper of familiarity that danced at the edges of my consciousness. Where had I encountered her before? The thought lingered, teasing my memory like a half-remembered dream.
“Dr. Fey! I must admit, I’m quite astonished that you would take an interest in such trivial disputes. However, your insights are always appreciated,” Harvey remarked, his voice tinged with a newfound respect. The bravado he had displayed moments earlier had evaporated, leaving behind a man who appeared both cautious and curious. “But I must caution you; this situation has the potential to become quite unpleasant. Perhaps it would be wise for you to maintain a bit of distance.”
Unbeknownst to him, Dr. Fey’s attention was not on him at all. Her gaze was fixed upon me, a penetrating look that seemed to delve into the very depths of my soul, as if she were searching for something hidden within.
Did she recognize me? The thought gnawed at my insides, a relentless question that demanded an answer. And then, as if the universe had conspired to unveil the truth, it came rushing forth.
“My elven princess, Metis—no, Dr. Fey, I meant! What brings you here? You should really return indoors, ma’am. There’s no need for you to dirty your delicate eyes with this sordid affair!” Terry stammered, his earlier malice evaporating into an eager, sycophantic grin that made him appear foolish and lost.
Inexplicably drawn to her, he moved closer, entranced by her beauty. He had never encountered a woman so breathtaking, and the memory of her tending to his injuries lingered in his mind like a sweet dream. In that moment, he had dared to imagine a future with her, complete with names for their children, as if they were already a family.
All he needed was a little assistance from his grandfather…
“There’s really nothing to see here, Dr. Fey. Just a worthless nobody getting his—uh, getting a lesson,” Terry continued, leaning in with a hopeful smile that was as pathetic as it was desperate. “But how about dinner with me later? Just the two of us?”
It was then that Metis Fey revealed her true self. Her expression hardened, and she fixed Terry with a fierce glare that could have silenced a storm. “How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to label a man like him as a useless nobody?”
With a swift motion, she struck him across the cheek, the sound of the slap reverberating through the hall like a thunderclap.
