"Which misunderstanding is there to settle?" She asked more serious this time around.
"I'll tell you everything you need to know. Now without lying." He promised.
"Tell me is it true you're a demise?" She asked.
"Yes I'm the most powerful moon demise but some of my powers are concealed right now." He replied truthfully.
"Is Melva really your sister?" She asked.
"She's my stepsister." Melchoir replied.
Kira took a deep breath before asking her last question.
"Is it true because you're just acting like this to me because I'm your weakness?" She asked.
Melchoir held her hands and placed them on his chest. "What do you feel Kira?"
Kira raised her brows. "Your heartbeat....."
She couldn't feel any heartbeat.
"I don't have one but I was talking about how you felt when you touched me." He smiled.
"You don't have a heart?" She gasped.
"It'll return once my weakness accepts me and I truly love my weakness." He replied.
Kira was speechless. She didn't read anywhere in the book that demise don't have heart till their weakness is one with them.
"Melva only told you that to separate us." He held her hands in his. "I truly love you Kirana and I've always loved you and I'll continue to love you."
Kira felt her cheeks warm up and she gulped gently.
Without a warning, Melchoir crashed his lips against hers. A gasp left her mouth and his tounge thrust inside her mouth.
"Melchoir..." She mumbled.
She felt her back hit the wall as their kiss grew more intense.
"Kira..." He groaned she placed her hands on his chest.
He stopped kissing her for a minute for her to catch her breath but the next second she was lifted placing her on the vanity next to them and he was standing in between her legs.
His lips captured hers in a hungry kiss again and she wrapped her hands around hid neck.
"Mmn..Mel.."
He trailed kisses down to her jawline and her neck gently sucking the sensitive spot between her neck making her gasp and hold him tighter.
His lips traveled down her collarbone and over her breasts which was slightly exposed. She suddenly became stiff as his hands pulled the lace of her dress. He slowly removed his hands and put them around her waist before going back to kiss her lips and she relaxed slowly.
Melchoir suddenly let go of her and a groan left her lips.
"And I'm sorry for the ladies. I didn't know they would think like that." He replied.
She didn't say a word she just continued staring at his lips which surprised her. What is wrong with her?
Melchoir seem to notice that and her chuckled darkly.
"You want some more?" He asked and Kira gulped. "I can give it to you of you want." He smirked.
Kira still didn't reply, she just looked away her face flushed.
"Tell me Kirana." He pulled her chin ever so tenderly to look at him. "Do you want more?"
"I....I..." Words got stucked in her mouth.
"Alright." He pecked her lips slightly before helping her down. "You should quickly get to bed because tomorrow will be a very long and busy day but remember, I'll always choose you."
Kira nodded and he carried her to bed.
"Goodnight." He wanted to leave but she pulled him back.
"Can....you....tu....tuck me.....to in?" She asked a bit embarrassed.
A smile appeared on his face and he nodded and tucked her in.
"Good night pirate Queen." He kissed her forehead before disappearing.
Kira sighed and closed her eyes. Once again she couldn't fall asleep. The scenes of their kiss kept flashing across her mind. His lips were so soft and soothing she wanted to feel them all over her body. She gasped realizing her thoughts. Her cheeks turned tomato red thinking about him continuously.
The following morning, Kira opened her eyes and noticed it was sunrise already. She stepped out of bed and there was a knock on her door.
"Come in." She replied and some maids walked in.
"Good morning my lady." Their leader bowed.
"Good morning." Kira replied.
"We want to start your makeover for tonight my lady." She said with her head still bowed.
"Sure." Kira nodded.
The maids could feel this was their new queen because of the special treatment the king had ordered to give her. Some of them even heard the king in her room last night.
They helped her with her bath, some facial care and her hair care. By then it was afternoon already.
Her golden hair which was usually wavy has been straightened.
"You should get some rest my lady. We'll be back in two hours to start preparing you for the ball." The maids said.
"Okay." Kira replied.
After the maids left, Melchoir materialized into her room as if he was waiting for them to leave already.
"Wow, now that's my queen." He smirked admiring her from where he stood. He face flushed immediately and their kiss scene flashed across her mind again. "Have I ever told you that you look cute while blushing?"
"Why.....why are you here?" She asked.
"To check on my queen of course." Melchoir smirked.
"Don't call me that." She hid her face in her palm making him chuckle.
"I'm satisfied now. You look ravishing." He complimented.
"Thank you." She managed to say.
"Now I have to go. See you later tonight." He leaned in and kissed her forehead before leaving.
The maids helped her get ready for the ball later in the evening. Surprisingly her dress was more beautiful than any clothes the maids has ever seen Nobel ladies wear. They helped her dress her hair and apply a very light make up.
"You're set my lady. The ball starts in fifteen minutes." The maids announced.
Kira started to panic. Her palms became sweaty and her nervousness kicked in. What if Melchoir changed his mind at the last minute and accepted someone else.
"It's time my lady." The maid announced.
Kira stood up and she was lead to the hall where the ball was taking place.
"And our last lady is lady Kirana daughter of Pirate Evie." The large golden door was threw open and she looked up taking a step forward. Just then her eyes caught the sight of everything in the hall. Some of the ladies were already sitting on the assigned seats.
She looked up at Melchoir who sat lazily on his throne with a full expression which disappeared immediately he saw her. The Lords were sitting not fat from him and the Nobel Lords were sitting also.
"We will start with the questions."
'Questions? What questions? she wasn't prepared for questions.'
Melchoir sat on the throne looking down at the door as soon as her presence was announced. As soon as she came into sight he almost jumped out of his seat to grab her and make her his forever.
Her red dress with golden embroideries was attractive and tempting. Her upper curves were enhanced by the dress and the shoulder of the dress was off. Only her movement was enough to drive him crazy.
As soon as the quiz was announced he could see she was a bit worried. He just smiled and closed his eyes trying to focus on her so he could tell all the answers to her in her mind. Yeah, he's not being fair but he'll do anything for his queen.
"The first question is when was the kingdom founded? To be the queen you must know a lot about the kingdom."
Kira sighed and then she heard a voice in her head. 'A thousand years ago.'
Kira looked up at Melchoir who smiled sweetly at her.
The quiz was very fierce and at last Kira and Adele were the only two qualified for the queen title. Uma intentionally dropped the chance of the title because of Kira. God she can't just sit on the throne answering all these questions if people comes.
"Your majesty, the decision is yours."
Melchoir stood up and walked down the stairs and stood before Adele and Kira.
"You are both intelligent, beautiful and smart. I guess the only thing I need to judge is your character." Melchoir turned to Ralph who nodded.
Ralph walked to Melchoir and whispered something into his ears.
"Okay. So Lady Adele." Melchoir snapped his fingers. "Why do you want to become the queen first?"
"I want to rule over everyone in this kingdom....." Like she was snapped out of a spell she gasped holding her lips.
"I see." Kira knew he had used magic for her to express her true feeling.
"And you lady Kira?"
"I just love taking care of people which is the first thing a queen should do and I want to protect the people of the kingdom." She gasped knowing magic was casted on her too.
"May I have this dance my lady?" Melchoir bowed slightly lending Kira his hands.
Even Kira didn't know about what she said but Melchoir had dug it out of her.
"I would be honored to." She bowed and he lead her to the dance floor.
Adele almost exploded due to anger and embarrassment.
Uma just squealed knowing her best friend is the future queen.
"Why did you tell me the answers?" She asked.
"I told you I'll always choose you and I'll do anything to choose you. Anything."
