I blinked, confused and unsure of what I was hearing.
Then I began to hear grunting along with the moaning.
I told myself it wasn’t my business.
That i should simply turn back and find the way out.
I had already had a terrible encounter entering the late Princess’s bedroom along with having my necklace burn.
I told myself that the last thing I wanted was to get into trouble again.
The moaning of both man and woman went on and I felt myself once again being drawn to a place I didn’t belong in.
Eventually my curiosity got the best of me.
I very carefully took steps back until I was at the originating door.
Now the sounds of passion was much louder.
I frowned and to my surprise, they were familiar voices.
"Yes just like that."
"Fuck yes."
"You’re dripping all over.
I knew I had heard those two voices before, but I couldn’t place a finger where .
I gently placed my finger on the door and pushed it hoping it didn’t make noise.
It was open and to my relief, it didn’t creak.
The door opened only a tiny bit but enough for me to see through.
My eyes scanned the room and it seemed to be tiny and old.
It looked like a storage closet.
The moaning got louder and then to my greatest horror, i saw a man with his bare bum open while he aggressively rammed into a woman against the wall.
I couldn’t see either of them because they faced the wall and backed me, but he had dark hair and I couldn’t tell for the woman.
They kept on going at it and I watched in disbelief.
Eventually when I was certain that I had had enough, I started to pull the door back.
But this time, it creaked.
LOUDLY.
They froze.
I myself froze.
And before I could run, they both turned to look at me.
I made eye contact with the King himself and bent over was none other than Princess Cherry.
We all just stood transfixed and unable to either move or say a word.
And then I made the first move.
I fled.
"Hey!" Came the deep male voice. "I order you to get back!"
But I didn’t stop.
I ran and ran.
Refusing to stop even thought it meant I was disobeying the King.
Even though it meant I could be beheaded.
I ran the fastest I had ever run in my entire life without taking a break.
The stairs were like the floor to me as I raced on.
I kept on running until I bumped right into someone.
"Ooof!" I mumbled as I rammed into whoever it was.
I stayed a nasty apology and attempted to run away but firm hands grabbed me still.
I caught a whiff of a familiar scent and was forced to look up.
I already knew who it was.
Xaden.
He looked back down at me.
"Where are you running off to?" He asked. "Who is after you?"
I stuttered confused and unsure of what to say.
Only her.
But now he had.
So he was openly sleeping with the Queen’s sister now.
I wanted to go back and forget what I see.
He had a cool face.
The exact same one that didn’t show any sign of emotion.
Just plain and cold.
I was now very terrified.
I had no idea when I caught Xaden’s arm and held it in tension.
Cherry was nowhere in sight.
"Xaden." The King said and I quickly bossed my head down in respect. "I hope you’re enjoying your stay."
"I am." Xaden replied without adding in the *majesty*
I had come to realize the only royal member Xaden used that for, was the Queen herself.
"My grand daughter’s debut shifting is tonight. I expect to see you before you leave tomorrow." The King said.
I balked.
Tomorrow?
We were leaving tomorrow when I had found absolutely nothing on my uncle.
"Ceremonies aren’t really my style." Xaden said.
"I insist" The King said as he now stood on our floor.
I tried to ignore me.
"We shall see."
I thought maybe for a split second he would say something.
But he simply ignored me and walked away. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Leaving me still clenching Xaden’s arms wondering what I had gotten myself into.
