He didn't say anything, he just looked at me with the expression of 'what is it?' I kept looking at him hoping his cold demeanor would reduce a little but instead, his brows raised and it was obvious he was losing his patience. I knew if I didn't ask now, I might not be able to ask again.
"Can I use your training room"? As soon as I asked this question, my eye close instinctively because I was scared of what his answer would be. Somehow, a part of me said he would definitely not agree.
"Does it look like a play house to you?"
'What is this, why does he sound so close'. I was still on my sit and at the time I asked him that question, he was at the other end of the table but right now, he sounded like he was much closer. When I opened my eyes, there he was right beside me. He was bent so his lips were at the level of my ears but he wasn't close enough for me to feel his breath on my body.
I just sat there, speechless. I wasn't comfortable at all yet I couldn't look away. It almost felt like I was spellbound. He looked more handsome every time I saw him. There we were, just looking at each other without tearing our gazes away.
'What is this, I just wanted to train how did it turn out like this?' I immediately averted my eyes from his and cleared my throat because, for some reason, it felt really dry.
"Ehm....I just really want to train there it feels like it would be fun".
He stood straight still looking at me. "My training room is not for fun. Do you even know how to use any of those weapons?"
I simply looked at him. 'Haaa if only you knew, well I can't really blame you since I look extremely fragile. It's probably for the best'.
"No, but I'm willing to learn. Trust me, I'm a very fast learner".
He just kept looking at me and at this moment, I was convinced that there was something on my face. "The black dress looks good on you".
After saying this, he started going back to his seat. 'What was that? That wasn't the conversation, why did he have to talk about my cloth when we were talking about something completely different'.
"You can use the training room". I looked at him immediately with the most sincere smile on my face. "Really? Thank you so much I....."
"Under one condition"
'Of course, what was I thinking this crazy guy wouldn't just give me for free'.
"I'm going to be there to supervise you. I can't let you destroy any of my weapons".
'Well that's going to be uncomfortable but it still sounds fair. I might as well land a few punches while at it hehehe'.
"Well sure, that's not too much of a condition. So....I can start tomorrow right?"
"You can start today".
"Ahh ah haha. Actually, I'd prefer to just go to bed for today. I don't know why, but I feel a bit tired".
He stood up and I thought he was tired I refused to train this night but why would I, is he mad? I can't train just because he says so. I was ready to talk back if he said anything funny.
"Fine, I'll send someone to train with you tomorrow. I won't be available so learn to your best ability".
"Oh yes thank. Ahh that reminds me, the list. I will go get it right now".
I rushed upstairs to go get it but when I came back, he was no way to be found so I asked the maid I saw cleaning the dining table and she told me he had gone to his study.
On arriving at his study, I knocked over and over again but there was no answer so I decided to go in and check myself. His study was filled but at the same time spacious it was more like everything was organized but still plenty. there were lots of books, maps, documents and other things looking like journals.
I saw a lot of things but I did not see the person I was actually looking for. Just as I was about to leave the room, the door opened and there he was. His hair was still a little wet and his outfit looked pretty ordinary just a plain white T-shirt, a pair of grey pants, and a towel still wrapped around his neck. I believe he wanted to use it to dry his hair more.
"There is no way one could look this good so easily". As soon as I said that, I closed my mouth hoping he didn't hear me.
"What are you doing here, I thought you had gone to bed already since you said you were tired".
"Ahh well, I came to give this to you".
