She was still contemplating the answer in her head when she heard a door open and feet shuffling into the room, her head immediately turned to the direction of the sound and at the moment she wondered why the ground didn't open and let her fall in.
Zamien had a black towel around his waist as he stepped into the room. His hair was wet and a bunch fell over his face. His torso was bare, thus exposing a good amount of his chiseled abs, there was a tattoo of a dragon on his left chest and on his ribs, inching downwards to his waistline which was incredibly sexy.
Dessa was scared to her bones, but she didn't know why her eyes were still checking him out.
The man in question wasn't perturbed as he only stared at her for a second before continuing to dry his hair with a towel.
"You are awake," Zamien finally said, "You slept like a pig."
The fear that Dessa felt turned into unrestrained anger and she glared at him.
'You are a pig. Your whole family are pigs.' Dessa said to herself. She wasn't brave enough to say that though.
"It's my fault master Zamien, I am sorry." She said this instead.
Zamien smiled when she addressed him as Master.
"Now, now, don't be petty Dessa." He said with a smirk. "You should take a bath and prepare for breakfast." Saying this, he walked into another room which looked like a walk-in-closet, and she heard him ring a bell.
When Dessa raised her head towards the door, she was surprised as she watched as two young girls appeared at the door. The look on their faces was that of fear. They were dressed in black pinafores over white shirts and were undoubtedly maids.
"Humans?" she muttered as she looked at them with wide eyes.
"Don't tell me you can't recognize your fellow human?" came a whisper beside her head and Dessa turned to look at Zamien, who was looking at her with a quizzical look.
"Of course I can. It's just that…I..well." Dessa was shocked. The surprise was evident on her face. Everything was just the opposite of her expectations. She could tell that the two girls were humans at first glance, of course. But she couldn't help the shock, because the girls were….they were fine. They did look scared and wary, but who wasn't scared of Zamien Ylvai, but they were very healthy. She really wasn't expecting this. She was expecting to be served by a fairy, as she had heard from her noble friends that the humans in Rhodes were forced to provide sexual pleasures for the demons. Both men and women.
"Good day milady," said one of the girls. Dessa noticed that none of the two girls made an attempt to come into the room. "Please follow us to your changing room."
Dessa's mind was still whirling with questions, but after hearing this she felt glad and relieved. She didn't want to have to dress up in this room with this creepy prince.
Dessa glanced back and when her eyes met Zamien's, she abruptly turned away. She didn't like how her body reacted to him. His gaze seemed to be affecting her in some strange but surprisingly not unwelcome way.
