Commander Lucifer woke up the next morning and found himself on the same bed with princess Chu Hua. He was shocked from head to toes. He sat back on the bed as he stared at her glowing skin. Probably, she was wearing a nightgown, instead, she was wearing her usual princess gown. Because the gown was short-sleeved, her hands were exposed and due to her unusual turning on the bed, her legs were also exposed to the eyes. All The last thing commander Lucifer could remember about last night was that he rested his head on her shoulder, but he can't explain what happened next. In fact, he doesn't know how she managed to bring him to the bed.
Why she decided to sleep in his small bed instead of going back to her soft bed, is what he can't explain.
Princess Chu Hua was looking tired and stressed out from the previous day. Even though she doesn't seem to enjoy sleeping on Lucifer's bed, she had to because she knows what she wants.
Not only because of what she wants, she is a caring person and Lucifer was one of the people that she does anything for.
Princess Chu Hua hardly slept the previous night, until it was almost morning. Sleeping on a small bed wasn't of her kind. She has finally slept on a type of bed that she never thought in a single second in her life that she would sleep on.
Commander Lucifer was lost in thought as he gazed at the princess, who was facing him as she laid down. Princess Chu Hua slowly raised her head and blink her eyes twice and then rubbed them with her fingers, to see clearly. Commander Lucifer couldn't stop staring, even when he noticed that she was waking up.
Princess Chu Hua's eyes were opened and the first thing her eyes captured was commander Lucifer's eyes. She almost screamed because she had totally forgotten that she didn't sleep in her room the previous night. She thought that someone has entered her room.
"Hey! Don't!" Commander Lucifer immediately stopped her as he noticed that she wanted to scream.
"Oh, so sorry." Princess Chu Hua said.
"No problem. By the way, good morning." Commander Lucifer greeted.
"Good morning. Wait! Ain't you feeling pain sitting like this?" Princess Chu Hua asked in surprise.
"Just a bit." Commander Lucifer responded.
Princess Chu Hua climbed down from the bed and turned around to go over to where commander Lucifer was sitting.
"Thank God that the wounds are drying." Princess Chu Hua said as she saw the wounds.
"Sure. The medicine really helped." Commander Lucifer conforms with her.
"Sure. So, how are you feeling now?" Princess Chu Hua asked.
"I'm feeling better now. It isn't painful like yesterday." Commander Lucifer responded.
"I see." Princess Chu Hua said.
The room went silent as Princess Chu Hua continue examining the wounds on Lucifer's body. He wasn't having any shirt on, which helped her to see everything clearly.
"Who brought me to the bed last night?" Commander Lucifer asked.
"I did." Princess Chu Hua answered.
"How was it possible for you to carry me to the bed without me noticing?" Commander Lucifer asked in surprise.
"Even though you were heavy, I still struggled to put you on the bed, but you didn't open your eyes. But, I wasn't surprised by that because I knew that you were tired." Princess Chu Hua responded.
"But, this is surprising. I can only remember laying on your shoulder and that's all." Commander Lucifer said.
"But I believe that you heard what I told you, right?" Princess Chu Hua asked as she prayed to her creator, commander Lucifer heard what she told him yesterday.
"You told me? When?" Commander Lucifer asked as he sat properly and brought down his legs from the bed.
"Well, it was last night. Probably the time you laid your head on my shoulder." Princess Chu Hua responded as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Oh! I didn't hear anything. What were you telling me?" Commander Lucifer asked.
Princess Chu Hua stood speechless as she stared at Lucifer for a few minutes.
After staring at him for a while, she decided to sit on the bed.
"I just asked you a question." Commander Lucifer finally broke the silence.
"Just forget it." Princess Chu Hua said.
"Forget what you said? My Princess, I know that…" before commander Lucifer could complete the statement, a knock came from the door.
Commander Lucifer immediately stood up from the bed and headed to the door.
He opened the door and the person his eyes sighted was Nuo and some two maidens who brought breakfast for both him and the princess.
"Good morning, commander Lucifer." Nuo greeted.
"Good morning, Nuo and how was your night?" Commander Lucifer responded.
"Fine. How is your health?" Nuo said.
"I'm actually getting better." Commander Lucifer said.
"Wow!" Nuo exclaimed.
"I'm truly sorry, please come in." Commander Lucifer said.
"Thank you," Nuo responded as she stepped into the room with her colleagues.
Nuo and the rest of the maidens exchanged greetings with Princess Chu Hua. Nuo and Princess Chu Hua couldn't talk much but Nuo had many questions to ask the princess, but she wanted to avoid doing that in front of everyone. After arranging the breakfast on the small table, they left.
Commander Lucifer and princess Chu Hua enjoyed their meal together.
They spent the rest of the day together in commander Lucifer's room. The only opportunity Princess Chu Hua has been looking for has finally come, but she was still shy to say it. She summoned the courage to speak it out yesterday, but now, the courage is nowhere to be found.
Everyone was keeping the feelings hidden. No one was ready to speak out.
Commander Lucifer was afraid of the king and the shyness of the princess that might turn him down. On the other hand, princess Chu Hua was afraid that Lucifer would see her as a cheap girl and decided to reject her.
A life full of hidden love.
