He had confessed his deepest secrets to Naomi who was barely awake.He helped her to the bed. He had no other choice than to devour the remaining content of the half bottle befor him. He had barely emptited the bottle when he also fell asleep on the bed.
It was to this end he woke up to see himself on her bed. He looked at her as she slept. He imagined that she looked more beautiful in her sleep. He reached out his hand to touch her on the face but stopped himself when he remembered she was Harold's woman..
He concluded he would just leave her room quietly. It was another day to go back and front on the issue if the contest. He would have to come clean with everyone or at least with the important peoole first to know their reaction. The reaction of the people wasn't good and he would not want to experience it. For the first time he began to worry about the reaction of everyone if they discover he wasn't Harold.
He took one last look at Naomi befor stepping out. She didn't even stir in her sleep as she slept peacefully. Immediately he stepped out of her room he came face to face with Madam Tochi who looked like she was coming there to make trouble.
"Good morning " he greeted her with a smile on his face.
Instead of a reply she just bowed with a deep frown on her face.
"My Lord, your father was in your room this early morning and could not find you. He knows you slept here something you are not suppose to do now" Madam Tochi reported to him explaining the frown on her face.
It was now Tobin began to realize the consequences of spending a night in her room. He was sure Harold woukd never have done that and for now considering they were not married it woukd be like a taboo and the fact his father came looking for him.
Tobin opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. He remembered he was not answerable to her.
"Thank you, I will go see him when I am ready. And please don't disturb Lady Naomi for now. Last night was really hectic for her. " he informed her. He was preventing anyone from seeing the mess in her room. He expects that her apprentice would do justice to the room soon.
He noticed Madam Tochi reacted indifferent to what he told her. Like she was bent on acting on her own accord.
"Its actually an order. I don't want anyone in that room except her apprentice Grace " He ordered this time with his voice raised, walking away immediately but not befor observing a changed look on the face of Madam Tochi.
As he walked to his room he could notice the servants all backing out from his path and some look of surprise on the faces of some of them. It must be really shocking to them that he would be coming from Naomi's room at that time of the day. He was sure it was already common knowledge that he didnt sleep in his room. He also reasoned that he might have given Madam Tochi a wrong idea when he said last night was hectic.
On getting to his room he met Calvin in his room arranging some of his clothes all looking the same as usual. Tobin at that moment remembered that he had not seen Tyre since they came back.
Calvin immediately broke into a mischievous smile when he saw Tobin.
"Good Morning " Tobin greeted him looking at him suspiciously wondering why he was all smile. He noticed Calvin was shocked to hear him greet him first hence he could not give a reply immediately.
"Good Morning Lord Harold, I hope your night was very fine" Calvin asked stressing the word very fine so Tobin could understand what he meant.
"Why are you so full of smiles? What happened? Tobin asked
"Nothing my Lord. I am just happy today and I am sure you are happy too" Calvin replied still full of smile.
"Tell me exactly what you mean" Tobin pressed walking close to him making to intimidate him. He had noticed Calvin was someone who seem to have been close to Harold than anyone else hence he barely show any form of fear around him.
"I am just glad that for the first time you slept in the room f your betrothed. I am sure it was a blissful night and you were able to solve the issue of the contest. " Calvin replied him.
It was now Tobin understood why he had been smiling that much. Calvin, like Madam Tochi must have been thinking they had sex last night. He shook his head as he walked to the bathroom without giving him a reply.
He was more concern about what to do with the contest that will take place tomorrow than to explain himself to anyone about last night.
