After I made a deal with the demon, I asked for his help again, I knew I was selfish by doing so but I had no choice but to ask for his help in passing that vast ocean.
"Lord Nathan, would you help me pass the ocean?" I asked him.
"You came yourself, why can't you go back yourself?" He asked coldly as he stared at me with those striking red eyes.
I gulped as I stared at him, I tried to look for words to say but the words got stuck in my throat.
"w--well, I would still not pass the water since I fell when I crossed it" I said carefully.
"Come here" he said as he pulled me towards him and he wrapped his arms around me in a hug. I felt the familiar feeling again, I just felt safe in his arms, they felt so safe and secure.
"Close your eyes" he said to me and I did as I was told, when I opened my eyes I was in my room. I pulled away from the hug realizing the intimate position we were and he laughed.
"Why, what is so funny?" I asked him.
"You are so aggressive, I wonder who would end up with you" he said and my face reddened as I flushed with anger, I knew he was so powerful and he could kill me but..
"How dare you?....." I raised my hands at him but he waved his hands and my hands froze in the air. Wait! did he just freeze my hands? I asked myself.
"I just did that" he said, this demon was horrible, I hated him, if it wasn't his help I needed at the moment, I would never have gone to meet him.
After hearing all her thoughts, Nathan became angry, she hated him?, he could not bear to hear that, even if she did not say it loud. He waved his hands again and she was able to drop her hands.
"Your uncle won't be coming tomorrow, he is coming next tommorow at noon, so be prepared" he said and I could tell that he was angry from the way he spoke.
'why is he angry now, what did I do?' I asked myself.
"Thank..." I didn't even finish my words before he vanished.
I didn't know why he was angry, what did I do?, why am I even thinking about him?, I got what I wanted so I shouldn't ponder on him.
I closed my eyes and pounced on the bed, I was so tired and now I could be rest assured that we are going to win with Lord Nathan on our side.
Mother entered my room to check on me "where did you go before?, I was looking for you" she said.
"I went to fetch some berries" I lied to her, I couldn't tell her where I went, she would have that disgusted look on her face and she would say 'So outrageous'.
"We have berries in the house, why would you go to fetch them if we have them at home?" she asked tilting her head to the side to detect if I was lying and I was rendered speechless, after a while I had an idea of what to say.
"Okay mother I went to ride, because I wanted to be alone" I said again.
"Okay, it's good that you are fine, I was so worried" mother said after checking the room again she left.
I quickly took a nap and when I woke up I went to look for my father. I met him sitting on the throne.
"Father how did the meeting go?" I asked and he nodded.
"We actually have our plan now, we have discussed among ourselves and we have come up with a frantic plan" he said. I knew the frantic plan would be useless since my uncle's men were so much.
"All we need is to wait for tommorow, so that I can finally let that guy sleep forever" he said with clenched fist.
"Father, actually Uncle is coming next tommorow and at noon" I blurted it out without realizing it.
Now he was going to ask how I knew and now I would start thinking of what to say, I can't say Lord Nathan told me, that would be my end since we were not supposed to have anything to do with demons.
"How did you know?" he asked me, 'oh no' what was I going to say now.
"I caught a spy" I said and he creased his forehead looking confused.
"Where?" he asked.
"At the back of the castle, he was actually tailing all our movements, I wanted to ride that was when I caught him" I lied. oh God forgive me, I am telling lies too much, but I had to say it this way or else I would be doomed.
"I see.." Father nodded his head.
"Okay but we would be prepared by tommorow and see if he might change his mind" Father said, they needed to prepare tommorow as well because my Uncle is so sly, he might change his mind anytime.
"Father I am also going to fight" I told him and he nodded, there was no point in arguing with me, he knew I would win easily so he surrendered.
"You should lead them in protecting the castle" He said and I nodded in agreement. Uncle might actually be after the throne, and when he seizes the throne, we are all going to be his slaves, which I would not let happen.
I went to my room feeling happy, I was tensed some hours ago but now I felt happy, I did not know why I was feeling this way but ever since I was with Lord Nathan, I felt happy and safe even if I knew that he was dangerous.
Sitting down on my bed I thought about him, how I hugged him, he was actually cold but heat crept it's way to my body. Smiling to myself now and then, I paused for a minute and slapped myself..'what am I doing?' I asked myself. 'This is bad' I told myself.
