The sunlight shines on her face awakens her from a good night's sleep. She open her eyes and saw an Erix sleeping face approaching her. She stiffed at seeing this man's face as she woke. 'Why he's here and why I'm here. Did something happen last night' she tries to remember how they happen to sleep together? What comings her mind is how she 'feeding' him until he almost puke and forced her to take care of him until she fell asleep. 'For someone who has a sadistic character he can be childish' she feels a bit playful as she pinches Erix right cheek and continues by touching his nose with her finger. 'He quite good looking guy and perfect figure if he from my world he must be a famous artist with playboy attitude'. Her finger then slowly move to his lips. "These lips have done so much crime already, such a sweet-talker" she mumbled to herself.
"That's not a nice thing to say to someone who just woke". with his eyes still close. She suddenly who hear that sleeping man talk jumped away from the bed. Her heart beating so fast since she been caught from her playful action. " For someone who pretending sleeping it's quite wrong do you think. Since you already awake why you're here". ask Haela as she glare at Erix who is awake. "It's technically my place but there is something I would like you to answer. What is your motive?" with a cheeky expression. Haela puzzled. "You hide for eights years and suddenly appeared at the church. Why?"
Haela is just quiet.
"The maid going to help you get ready. I expected your answer, my lady". as he closed the door. The standing Haela drops herself on the bed. To hear question by question make her puzzles. ' How he knows'. All the steps, activities, research, and plots by plots she makes were careful not even Tammy's knowledge about this. Her deal with underworld people in and out of the kingdom was careful since she doesn't use her name. Everything is complicated but she knows the more she dodges the question the deeper knows. Marry him was another plot she have to do but to put him in her scheme is beneficial but also dangerous.
Thinking is hard but it will be hard if everything fell apart. The sound of knocking with vote ice of a young lady makes her realize it's time to get ready. The choice has been made to play every plot. in their order.
Knowledging the reason she can't go home make her think about what possibly happen if she tells all about it. She has again been guided by a man she doesn't familiar with to the study room. There he is sitting on her chair with a chessboard on the table. In the novel, Erix is one of master chess which is no one can't beat his strategy to win. The reason why the chess game according to every plot he make went the war was flawless without anyone know a man who was young and been dote by Ares itself like a warning to all kingdoms in the world. The good you play chess, the flawless your destruction becomes.
"Please have a seat, my lady". Said him
Haela takes her seat opposite Erix to face him. Kyle guides Haela to the study room standing behind Erix.
The three of them are in a comfortable position.
"Let's start. What is your motive". Said Erix.
She starts by moving the chess crew in orders she wants. After that, she starts taking deep breaths facing Erix.
" I answer your question but with condition that you answer my question later". She put her brave face. The negotiation with him was simple is he answer the question but to him, how to limit the question will be asked and what she going to ask since in front of him is not a naive girl but more than that.
"My mother and my happiness destroy by goodness arrangements. Every day my mother believes Theia never abandons us to breathe until her sickness. My mother's misery already make me realize that God loves to see other people pains so her beloved happiness". Her memory refreshes back the piece of memory from her own old body.
"Until my mother died with her resentful to my father, Malok royal family, and Theia, after that my father remove me from my own home but lucky for me that my grandfather was at this kingdom when that time happened. I moved to my grandfather's mansion and hiding from people". as she put the white queen on the middle of the chessboard.
"The reason why now is because Malok crown prince is ready to be married and by rumors from noble Irene will be a suitable one to be prince wife but it's just rumor since the one he will with be is not Irene". Her devilish smile charm Kyle for seconds.
"Who will be?" asked Kyle.
"Me". Answer Haela.
