When the loud knock on the door was heard, Alexa just thought she didn't want to be seen in a bathtub with a naked Prince Klaus at all.
"Your Highness, it's me Dankmer!
Apparently, whoever Dankmer was, he was a man of Prince Klaus' utmost trust, because he barely said that and opened the door, without any qualms.
"Dankmer!" The Prince's voice sounded both alarmed and irritated. Almost at the same time, Klaus suddenly stood up in the middle of the bathtub.
Alexa still had a glimpse of the Prince's firm buttocks while she had the opposite idea of submerging. But all the Prince's sudden movement caused a great oscillation in the water, creating waves that entered the damsel's nose and mouth as she slid underwater. Then her survival instinct spoke louder than her need to hide; she spat out water and tried to get up, completely blind.
That was when she felt the Prince's hand push her down again for a moment, and she couldn't do anything about it.
