Chapter 7 - Market

Diana stands In Front of kia refusing to take a walk with him as he chooses to show her around the kingdom.

Diana couldn't mutter a word, she was so pissed at Kia and everything that was happening, even in her calmness there was sense of fear... She knew these human looking people weren't humans, she couldn't dear upset one, so she had to flow with the rules, but one person she couldn't stay careful of, was kia, even if he gives her the creep, she couldn't still be completely afraid of him, simply because she feels he loves her that much not to hurt her.

"You stand here In Front of me and refuse to walk with me?"

"I'm not afraid of you," Diana said as she took in a deep breath, looking so pale and shaky, Kia could sense every facial expression she made, he could tell she was scared and hiding with the act of being brave.

"Are you sure?" He said as he calmly touched her jaw... At this point Diana couldn't help but get more afraid, had she crossed her limits, was this going to end with her being punished or dead, at some point all these seemed like a movie to her, but what kept her believing about everything being real was the sex she and Kia had.

"We could do it again, if you want" kia said after reading her thoughts

Diana immediately bends her head down, trying to keep her eyes away from his.

"Let's go please" she mutters as she quickly runs off...

Every guard who stood at every part of the castle would always whisper about Diana's beauty, no one was seen in the castle in their true forms, because the prince had warned everyone to be careful and to keep their human skin on, he didn't want Diana feeling scared or not belonging.

---------

**Outside the castle**

"Let me show you around" he muttered as he gave his guards a sign with his eyes, making sure they wouldn't follow them, he wanted to be alone with Diana.

"Oh you brought her here" said Mona, as she met kia and Diana outside the castle.

One look at kia, Mona respected herself, of course she didn't want any issue at the moment with her brother.

"Let's go," Kia said as he held Diana's hand and led her away...

"I'll find out who you truly are " Mona mutter's inwardly as she makes her way back into the castle.

Every villager looked so human, children playing around and other people focused on one business or the other, sales and exchange were all in place, as they moved past the market.

"It just looks like home," Diana said, looking directly at the marketers in the market.

"Oh, those are called the marketers, everyone here has one business or the other that they are doing, I mean making a living is important right?" Kia asked...

Diana gives him an agreeing look as she immediately turns her face away.

"Our highness," said an elderly man who walked by.

Diana clears her throat as she gets ready to ask Kia a question, even if in every bit of question she plans to ask there was always a bit of fear in her.

"When would you let me go, I need to go home" she mutters and then folded her hands, refusing to walk any further.

"We haven't gotten to where we are going to" he replied as he stared angrily at Diana and then calmly at her.

"It's for your safety, " he replied again.

"That's what you always say, " Diana said.

"Come I still have much to show you " he said as they walked away.

Reluctantly Diana follows.

"You see that statue there, the molded one?" He pointed

"Yes..." She replied

"That's my father, beside him is his beast like nature, I know you know who I really am, it's brave of you to stay sane and not afraid " he said as they kept on walking

"Yeah right, if you knew the fears inside of me you wouldn't call it bravery" she said inwardly this made kia smile, cause he could read her thoughts, he was the only creature who could read thoughts In the kingdom.

"Why the smile?" She asked as they approached a food area where different foods were sold.

"It's nothing important" he said as Diana nodded to show she understands what he meant.

"So where's your father?" She asked

"His dead" he replied

"Oh, so sorry, what about your mother?"

"She's dead or nowhere to be found, It was just I and my twin sister Mona who were the only surviving royal family"

"Oh, I see" Diana said, his words brought sadness to her, it made her remember her past of not growing up with father or mother.

"I understand how you might feel now that they are gone, " she said.

"No you don't, so let's forget about my parents " he mutters angrily..

"About that night" both muttered.

"Okay you go first " kia said

"No, you first, she insists "

"Okay, I don't regret it, and I know you don't " he said as he held her both hands and stared into her eyes, this kept Diana in suspense and anticipation to know what he was going to do next, not minding they were outside the castle.

"Emmm... M.." she stammers...

"Why don't you show me your complete look without the nose mask Kia, I mean if I'm going to be your bride then I should at least get used to your looks and other things about you " she said with her face down, staring at the floor as if there was something there she wants to see.

"I will soon, come, you have to eat, I'll get you something to eat, " he said.

----------

Back to the castle

Diana at the entrance of the room with kia.

"I hope you enjoyed the tour, there are still more hidden places I need you to see" he said as he holds her face with his both hands and kisses her lips, Diana didn't stop him, she always wanted it, her attraction for him, was getting so intense that every kisses made her wanting more of him.

"Do you want to make out again?" he asked as he stared calmly at her, carefully listening to her thoughts.

"No Diana you can't let this sex act happen again, he's not even human, but still why do I feel every inch of my body calling out to his" she mutters inwardly.

This made kia smile again, but this time, he would refuse to listen to her thoughts, even if she can't say what she wants, he was going to leave her for today, he was going to hold himself back, that was how a gentleman would behave, he thought inwardly.

"Fine, if you can't say anything, don't think much, you should rest, go in now" he said, as Diana stared at him softly, even in his weird nature, there was a bit of real charm and gentleness.
