---Prince Nicholas---
An angelic, alluring voice wakes me up from my sleep. I reach my Adhiti beside me but there's no Adhiti. I sat up and the sunbeam meets my eyes. The sweet voice wakes me alive. Or more like, I was hypnotized that made me slipped off from bed, walking to the direction where the singing voice is. Even the humming sound, makes me more alive as I come closer.
I enter the room and found her on the big bathtub washing while singing. I gape on the view. She wasn't fully naked because she's wearing a nylon sleeping dress. She smiles at me that makes me smile like crazy.
"Good morning, dear." She greeted warmly and sweetly. She stood from the bathtub, mesmerized on her perfect curves as the long dress molds on her body, and show the real color of her skin. I was instantly aroused by just seeing her like that, where everything are visible. "Did you sleep well?" she asked me as she wrapped her wet arms around my nape.
My gaping mouth almost falls, and my arms automatically wrapped around her back as I press my full body with hers.
"Do you want to look for a better view?" she asked, really tempting me.
No, I was so into her that makes my throat dry and gulps on her question. Her voice hasn't been that seductive and alluring that makes me hypnotize. She unwrapped his arms from my neck as she slowly and seductively pulls down the thin sleeve of her blue and white sleeping dress.
Her mark around her chest is showing and I have a better look until she shows half of her nude body on me. My throat goes dry that makes me gulps big. Her breast was in perfect round full shape. And the thorn vines of her marks were around her waist that has a budding red rose, and fully open green rose. And then an unexpected thing she does is she dropped the dress that shows her fully nude body on me. It is my first time seeing the whole of it personally. It was beautiful. Her skin, her marks are perfect. In my eyes, everything is perfect.
It makes me completely aroused by just looking at her. Her eyes are blue-green, like the color of deep water or Deep Ocean. My hands wander around her perfect curve and big hips. There are different kinds of spiral shapes around her body. Like it has a life of its own.
"Do you like it?" she asked me, in the same lovely voice that allures my lustful side.
"I love it." I murmur. It was my mouth who said it without control from my brain. God, what is happening to me? I was simply out of my mind. I was really into her. She's just perfect in my eyes.
"It's all yours my Prince." She scooped my cheeks, tiptoed as she kissed me passionately. It wasn't the kiss that Adhiti gave. It was a kiss that is full of passion, lust, and desire that wakes my sleeping hormones. But those kiss wasn't just passionate, lustful, and desirable, but there's dark loneliness and I feel it.
"What did you do to me?" I murmur breathlessly between our kiss. Her hands started removing the rest of my clothes, but I wake up that makes me caught her hands. "Adhiti?" I call making sure that it was my Adhiti, my love, and my soul. I look directly into her eyes. Just to make sure that it was my love.
"It Serina, my Prince." She speaks softly as she gently pulls her hand putting it to my face, seducing me and hypnotizing me with her voice. "Make love to me, my Prince."
That's when I wake up from my lust. I immediately pull her until she wrapped her legs around my waist. I carried her towards the bathtub and join her there. I don't know what I am doing but it will be one of the ways to cover her nude body into the water full of blue petals of roses.
"Don't you love what I look?" she asked in a very lonely voice. Her eyes were so lonely too. I bent down to her pushing the petals to cover her nude chest.
"I love every inch of you, my love. But Serina, I love Adhiti so much. And now you are not Adhiti."
"Loving Adhiti means, loving us." She told scooping my cheek. She gave me small kisses on my jawline. I was confused. I don't know what she's talking about. Like there's not only my Adhiti and Serina on that body.
"Us?" I asked, really confused, my head hurt badly.
"Uhuh…" she murmurs and she licked my lips. I was dumb right there. I don't know how to react. The first thing that comes into my mind is that she has multiple personality disorder cause of her traumas back then or maybe because she pushed to be Catastrophe. She pulls my hand towards her breast, and I was still unable to respond or react. I was so surprised by what she told me. "Make me happy, please." She begs. Her eyes are very lonely. A siren who allures men in the sea and make them happy was so lonely in front of me. I only gave her a peck on her forehead.
"Are you hungry, Serina?"
"Yes. I am very hungry for happiness, my Prince. I had been dying of loneliness for hundreds of years."
I scoop her cheek gently wipe the tears that turn into pearls. I felt so sorry and I felt her loneliness. But I never know how lonely she is.
"You don't need to get laid to be happy, Serina."
"But I want you, is this body is not enough?" she insisted as tears and pearls kept falling into the water.
"Hush, my beauty." I embraced her as she cries and cries until she falls asleep. The bathtub is almost full of pearls. Pearls?
I wrapped her in a dry towel and put her back to bed. I wrapped the duvet on her nude body as I gently brush her long hair while drying it. Almira knocks on the open door of the bedroom and looked at me with a confused face. I kissed my beloved's forehead as I gently slipped off from the bed and went to the closet to change my wet clothes.
I headed to the kitchen where Almira is waiting. I gulp a glass of water as Almira waited for me to speak.
"I see that Adhiti is still asleep. Did you undress her?"
"Well, it's kind-a confusing, Serina almost made me do it."
"Serina?" Almira asked as she changes her sitting position. "That name was familiar."
"Last two nights ago, a very weird attitude of her wakes me up. She was staring outside the window directly to the bone-fire festival at the castle. She's really mad and she even burns me…"
"She—what?" she asked baffled.
"I need to speak with Princess Amanda. I have this feeling that she's the key to all of the confusion that I am feeling these days."
"Tell me, Kuya. What did she exactly do to you?" Almira's full of worried eyes makes me worried too.
"It's not her. She murmurs about hatred towards the people, she exactly said my people killed her dragons."
Almira gasped which make her covered her mouth. Then, I continue telling her everything that happened that night and that includes this early morning. Almira said that she'll entertain Adhiti when she wakes up so I can travel to the Psychē to visit the Princess.
I started packing a few meals and pieces of formal clothes. It will take at least two days to get there with my horse. I feed the horses and pour buckets of water on their drinking through. I got startled almost my heart jumps out from my chest when Adhiti screamed my name. I immediately walk back inside towards the bedroom. She's standing with a satin sheet around her naked body.
"D-did you undress me?!" she asked peeved. I flush remembering how beautiful her fully nude body.
"Uhm, I…" he murmurs. She was about to kick my balls but, I immediately caught her with chuckled and kiss her forehead. "Babe, love, I need to talk to you. Okay? I am leaving for Psychē. Is it alright if Almira will stay here with you?"
"W-why?" she asked as her eyes started becoming lonely.
"It is something that I am concerned about you. I need to speak to the Highest Highness about few things that confuse me. It will only take a few days."
"How many days to be precise?" she asked, wrapping her arms around my nape.
"Seven days maybe. I have to travel there that will takes two days plus another two. I have to stay in the Kingdom for two days about my consultation and the festival."
She sighed in a very dramatic way. And when she realized that she's still nude, she held the satin sheet that is wrapped around her body and grimaced at me. I only smile, friskily like showing her how much I love her without those covers.
"He-" Almira stop when she saw us. She gave eyes rolling and turn back. I just shrugged and kiss her shoulders, down to her arms.
"I love you." I murmur.
"You have to leave early so you could get back to me shorter than seven days." She said. I trace a few kisses on her marks on her shoulder that makes her giggles. Beautiful.
After I pack a few clothes and food for my travel, I immediately leave my cottage. Giving lots of missing-you-kisses and hugs to my love. I will simply miss embracing her, deal with her changing of moods and identity, and cuddling with her. How much time should I miss to cuddle her and kiss her?
I prepare my horse for my voyage giving him enough food and water and grooming him. Staying in the Kingdom of Psyche might take all my time on helping to prepare on the five Kingdom's festival as a united one that will be held on the Kingdom of Psyche.
