CHAPTER 7
I woke up with a throbbing head. I sat up on the bed and looked around. The sun is up and I think it's already noon. Dang! Last night was a mess!
I looked at my bed, with sheets crumpled, clothes on the floor. I closed my eyes when I remembered what we did last night! DANGGGG!!!
"Good morning, Your Majesty" A husky voice snapped me back to my sanity.
I looked at the person beside me. Half of his body was covered in sheets. His hair was messy and he had some scratches in his arms. He also got a bruise on the corner of his lower lip. He opened his sleepy eyes and there goes his playful smirk again. I looked away and got off from the bed. I walked to my bathroom locked the doors. Dang!
The image of him on top of me topless flashed in my mind again that I had to shook my head twice. We were almost naked when I got back to my senses last night. I had a glimpse of his ripped body and his heat felt like fire. Dang! You crazy Celeste?!
Last night, after closing the door, we kissed, yeah, but he initiated it first and- and I got carried away and us ending in bed, he pinned me down and he kissed me hard. He even greeted me a Happy birthday!! Dang him!! Dang my heart...but I got back to my senses. He was getting weak so I had a chance to push him hard and after that I slapped him hard on his face, scratched his arms, and even punched his face. Dang that felt good, but not after after what he did to me. He punished me! Yeah, that devil! I screamed loudly when in just a second I was spinning in the air upsidedown! Ahhrg! My blood boils when I imagine my face while screaming!
"Hey! You there? Still alive?" I flinched when he knocked on the door.
"What do you want?!" I shouted back. He's getting weird! Really. He was cold before the wedding and now his like this? He also talks much more these days than before.
"Don't ask me what I want! You already know what I want!" He shouted back and banged on the door. My jaw dropped.
"Stop knocking! I'll stay here for a while! Unless you wanna get out of my room! That'll make it easy for the both of us!" I shouted and went to the sink to brush my teeth. I grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste when he shouted back.
"Let me in! I just want to pee!" I puffed a laugh. Dang!
"Get lost! Pee in your pants you asshole!" I shouted. I'm not afraid of you anymore you devil!
I put toothpaste on my toothbrush and started cleaning my teeth. I was swaying a bit and stretching my leg when the door swinged open. I gagged when I swallowed the toothpaste on my mouth. Dang! Some of the white frots was on my chin!
"What the hell?!" I yelled!
Damiro went in and straight to the toilet which was just three steps from me and adjacent to the sink! He pulled his boxers off and I screamed and immediately covered my eyes! But it was too late, I saw it! DANGGGG!!
"WHAT THE HELL?!?!" I was furious as I went out of the bathroom. I haven't even cleaned my face or gargle the remaining toothpaste off my mouth!
Minute later, he went out smirking! Dang him! This motherfubagsjejajvkaalowbbs! AHHHRGGG!!
Later that afternoon, wearing a simple off-the-shoulder sleeved dress, I went to the garden just on the left part of their palace. I spent my time there as I cleared out my mind! Of everything that's happened already in my life! And— dang Damiro! That pervert devil!
A girl with her apron approached me as I sat under the shade of an Apple tree facing the back of the palace.
"Your Majesty, here's your meal." She said and placed foods on the round table in front of me.
"I didn't order you to bring me these foods." I said and looked up to her with a confused gaze.
"King Damiro ordered that, your Majesty. He said that you might like to eat here outside since it's a sunny day." She said smiling and left me here.
Damiro. I looked up and saw how bright the sky was. Yeah, despite of the gloomy feels in this palace, it's gifted it the brightest skies, brightest flower, and brightest smiles from the handmaidens.
My eyes wandered far when it suddenly saw someone standing behind the window on the third room. Damiro. When he saw me stating at him, he immediately vanished behind the curtains, as if I didn't see him. Duhh.
I ate my food there, and yeah, I was actually hungry. I woke up late and I only had few chews of my foods in the dining because I was still furious with Damiro.
Half an hour later, I finished eating and I'm glad I brought a book with me. I started reading when the bright and blue skies suddenly changed into darkness. Droplets of rain started pouring until it poured hard. My clothes became wet as it continued. I ran towards the back door of the palace but before I could go in, the door swung open revealing Damiro in his usual suit with an umbrella in his hands. I ran faster until I'm inside and Damiro staring at me with his cold eyes again.
I stared at him and then down to the umbrella. He saw me looking at it so he called on my the maids and pretended it was for her. Lame!
He looked back at me with the same gaze.
"Go upstairs. Change you clothes before I rip them off of your body." He said and gritted his teeth.
I quickly ran upstairs to change my clothes. What's wrong with him?
Later that night, I was in bed, sneezing and coughing. Dang! It was just droplets of rain touching my skin and now turned out I'm sick?!
"Your Majesty. This is a medicinal water. Drink this." Said an old handmaiden.
"Can you just heal me with you power? With your Gahom?" I asked as I took a sip of this bitter drink. Like how the hell do they drink this foul- smelling water?
"We can't. Firenes can't heal." She said and I froze.
"What do you mean you can't heal? You have powers, you have magic." I said. Confused.
She smiled and took the glass from my hands and put it on my bedside table.
"Dalessi took that power from the Firenes, Your Majesty. It's like, the Firenes are banned from using healing powers." She explained.
What?
Before I could ask few more questions, the door creaked open and Damiro went inside. He walked straight to me and sat on my bed. I flinched when his hands flew to my neck to check my temperature.
"I'm fine." My voice was strained due to my cough.
"You're not." He said and turned to the maid and asked her to leave us.
"How are you feeling?" He asked and stared at me.
"You worried?" I faked a laugh. Are you Damiro?
He stared at me for a few more seconds until his eyes turned ice cold.
Now I can say, he's back. His eyes were lethal cold and his lips were In a grim line.
"Nope. Rest. You're still giving me a child." He said that and stood up.
"Your father was already sent home. Don't worry, they won't know you're gone." He said before leat the room. That made my heart hurt. They won't know? I haven't even seen my Papa before he was sent home!
A tear escaped my eyes until they went nonstop from falling. I cried hard that night. The pain is back, and it's hurting me more knowing I won't be able to see them again. Then suddenly, I almost forgot. My plan. I should have a plan. I'll kill you Damiro! I'll get out of here.

Little did she know, the king was outside her room. Listening to her sobs. Listen to her cry her heart out.
Little did she know, he was somehow protecting her from what's about to come.

"Damiro, have you planned it out already?" Lucio asked me while looking at the map placed on the table.
"Not yet." I said grimly.
He sighed and sat beside me.
"The Queen. She has to know about it." He said and my blood started boiling.
"Don't bring her up to this, Lucio." I warned with gritted teeth.
"I just thought that since she's a—"
"Drag her more into this and you'll see what I can really do." I growled.
Even if he's my friend, people who get in my way gets burnt alive.
Good thing we're alone in this room. No one can hear us.

"The prophecy, indeed! It's happening already. The Woman. It's about time." An old woman whispered into thin air then vanishes.
