I look at Magnus and a weird sensation comes over me.
I nodded slightly and walked to the couch opposite where I stood and sat on the couch beside Magnus. The couch is seemingly a small one and I just have to manage and let parts of my body to mix with his.
Just my left and his right rib made contact though. Nothing else.
"Lyla, as you already know, you have already become the Queen of the Rokha Dynasty. I was made to know that you have been falling for someone while you were in Barune... "
Lucas? Yes.
And how do they know?! Family privacy please!
I hear a soft chuckle escape my partner's lips and I just rolled my eyes.
"But what the Rokha Dynasty can offer you is more than just a guard, Lyla. It's more"
I listen attentively to the next statement coming from Queen Anastasia.
"And yes, it can be a bit hard to adapt to both a new man, Kingdom and society. New maids, servants and all that"
A very understanding woman. Can't believe I'm going to be calling her my mother in law in a few days time.
"But what I want you know daughter, is that it will all vanish. The Rokha Dynasty has the way it operates and it all starts from the King, and down to the Queen. You should know that you and Magnus are taking upon you the responsibilities of over a billion people... "
I raised a brow, waiting for more details when she came to that point.
"The combination of Rokha and Barune"
Oh, makes sense now.
Barune and Rokha are very close so I can see why it is like that.
"And trust me when I say, Magnus can be really possessive when it comes to his property... "
Magnus glared terribly at his mother and I can't help but laugh a little at this sight.
It was the first time he saw me laugh, it calmed his expression down. Sorta.
"He is usually aggressive and agitated when someone claims what is his own... " Queen Anastasia said.
"And also know he have been with so many girls but never... "
"Dad, I think that's enough now" Magnus said
I smiled as his parents laughed heartily and jestily at him.
I smiled widely. The family really have the jolliful spirit. Unlike my family where you will stay locked up for months without even going to the throne room. I hate the family I grew up in and even Barune. I hate everything about it.
My parents, especially my dad that I supposed to be close to is always busy with Kingdom affairs and always avoid spending time with me. As if I am the one that asked him to be King in the first place.
I sighed in remembering those memories and shook my head. Life can be so hard.
"Oh and Lyla, you and Magnus will sleep n the same room... "
"What?" I ask now conscious that I am still in their presence.
"Not on the same bed but, in the same room"
Oh better! We are not yet legally married so we can't do anything that comprises of a couple thing... For now.
"You can get the better bed while Magnus gets an old one" Louis said. Magnus rolled his eyes and his parents laughed at him. I smiled widely and chuckled out loud.
It made him to look at me and stare, his eyes calmed down and... I felt peace in his heart.
"Umm... That's okay. I prefer sleeping on the floor. He can take the bed if he wishes" I stated and the laughter died immediately.
"No. You will take the bed" Magnus said in a whispery voice.
It almost seemed like his lips didn't move at all. Did he talk in my head or am I seeing things?
"No, I am partly a village girl. You can take the bed" I said and his parents looked at each other.
"You heard what he said?" Louis asked.
"Perfectly well, Sire" I said and he nodded, deep in his thoughts.
Is it just me cause... This family is the most weirdest family I have ever met, not even talking about the Royal blood they possess.
"Get to bed, dear. You must be tired" Anastasia said and stood up from the couch, avoiding to go further in the conversation.
I didn't want to drop it but, I just let it go peacefully.
I stood up immediately she did and Magnus also stood up after I did.
We both bowed low to the King and Queen and I bid them goodnight while Magnus waited at the door for me. Holding the knob, he stared at me and impatience were in his eyes when I turned back to tell them "Goodnight".
Walking inside the room, Magnus held the door knob and opened the door for me to enter. Such a charming gentleman.
I entered and breathed in the cool atmospheric pressure. Holding my breath, I scanned the room.
It's just beyond words.
There are two beds neatly put in order and it is beside each other. Though they are not wide but they are a bit long and the width can only take one posture or sleeping position.
It's literally still sleeping with him, so why did they say that we are not going to sleep together? It infuriates me.
"Are you okay standing or will you go lie down?"
I quickly walk to the bed closer to the lamp and sat down. The bed beside my bed is closer to the window, I left that for Magnus, because I think I hurt him earlier.
He just stood there and stared at me, his expression cold and unpredictable.
"Won't you take the bed closer to the window?" he asked.
"Which one do you prefer?" I ask.
"If I were you, I'd the one closer to the window"
Sense. I used it to know the bed he likes and it all got him.
His eyes widened like he read my inner thoughts and I feel like he is scolding himself for being such an idiot.
"You can have the bed. I am okay with this one" I say, refusing to look up at him.
"Thank you"
I look up at him and he passed unto me a faint smile. I smile nervously back at him and redirected my gaze back to my thumbs that I am playing with.
When he sat on his bed, I laid flat on my back.
Staring and counting the pieces of wood used to carve out the ceiling.
"Have a nice night" he said.
He startled me because I was too focused on the counting of ceiling thing, so..
He is now facing me and I feel my body heat up and my heart miss beats that are important.
"You too"
