Kira grew up with workaholic parents, so she mostly found herself alone, and there was no one to scold her when she did something wrong. This was the first time she was being lectured, and to think it was by a stranger. She doesn't know how to react, and it turns out that keeping eye contact with the king only pissed him off
" I have raised you wrong!" The man says, his face was flushed red in anger. Kira wants to comfort him and tell him it wasn't his fault, her parents were to blame for neglecting her. And since she started working with Dae, she had mastered the skill of only having one expression on her face. Dae said Caterpillar shouldn't have too many emotions on display, and Kira was still a Caterpillar. " I gave you everything thinking it would make you happy! But in the process, I spoilt you. Now you dare to try take your life just because that Dragon Rider doesn't return your affection! If it hadn't been for Sun, you would have been dead!"
Right, so Sun, was the name of the man who had saved her. Kira made sure to mark it down, she was going to give that guy a piece of her mind. If if it hadn't been for him then she wouldn't be receiving the scolding of her life. She was merely trying to see if holding her breath would take her back to her own world, who the hell said she was going to kill herself? The water hadn't even been that deep, her feet was almost touching the ground, it wouldn't have taken much effort to swim to the surface if she wanted to.
Kira felt someone breathing against her face, it brought her out of her thoughts. She was met with the King's face only inches from her's, She did her very best to not shuffle back. She wasn't used to being so close to someone like this, especially not a good looking man such as this one. ' Relax Kira, he might be handsome but he is still your brother '
" I've raised you myself, so there is nobody in this world who cares about you more than I do. I would rather kill each and everyone in this kingdom than let any harm come to you. Do you understand?"
" I...Understand " Damn, what a king. The people here were so damn obsessed with Killing others.
" Good " He cups her cheeks, his fingers were gentle as they traced lines on her face. Kira was so startled that she couldn't even blink. The Handsome man watched her closely, like she was a puzzle that needed to be solved. Then he pulled back from her with a disappointed look. " You will remain here for the time being. You aren't allowed to see any of them ontil further notice "
" Okay " Kira says immediately. It's fine, if she doesn't see any of those guys then she would be very happy. Each and everyone of them gave her dangerous vibes, especially Dae and his Dragon.
The king raised a surprised brow at her. He had expected her to protest, because he knew how much the princess enjoyed playing with her beauties. Perhapes she realized her mistake and was willing to work more on herself, if that was the case then he was very happy. He told her that he would come check on her later before walking out of the room.
Not long after he was gone, two palace maids walked into her room carrying multiple dishes. They told her that the king had requested she eat a lot so she could regain her strength. Kira might be a warrywort sometimes, but even she couldn't turn down free food. She sat down and ate as much as she could until her stomach felt uncomfortable. Then she allowed the maids to prepare her a bath, and after she was done they dressed her in a light silk night dress, Kira thinks at that moment that life had never been sweeter. She lays on her bed and falls asleep.
* * *
She is awakened to something cold pressing against the skin of her neck. At first she ignored it, not wanting to get up from her enjoyable sleep. But then whatever was touching her dipped under the material of her nightwear, Caressing soft skin. Kira jerked awake in a panic. It was dark outside, but the soft glow of a latern by the bedside allowed her to make out the familiar figure standing beside her bed.
" Moon?"
Moon offered her a smile, he was dressed in pants and a kimono held together by a single rope. With his new attire, Kira was able to see how truly unwomanly his body was, and coupled with his beautiful face, it made a rather eery and unnatural sight. Kira knows that the only reason she finds it weird is because she's more used to the musculine beauty, like Dae for example who works hours in the gym to perfect his Million Dollar body.
" What's wrong?"
" Nothing is, I came to check on you. I heard what happened "
" Oh " The gossip system here is really good. Something happened not long ago and almost everybody knows about it. " Thank you for your concern. But as you can see, I am fine "
" Are you cold?"
" Uh?"
" I can warm you up if you wish"
Kira stares at him blankly, not knowing what to make of his sentence. This conversation was getting a bit weird. Moon brings his hand to cup her face, his skin is smooth but cold, she realizes that he must have been touching her in her sleep, that was what had woken her up. Okay, super creepy.
" I can do anything for you " Moon leans forward, he was so close that his long lashes brushed against her cheek. Perhaps it was the sleepiness that made her slow to react, but before she knew it, Moon had placed a kiss on her cheek, she swore she felt the cold feel of his tongue as well. " You only need to ask "
" Wait, what are you...."
" Let me warm you up " He says. And she watched it all in slow motion as his hands go to untie his Kimono, the fabric parted to reveal pale and smooth skin. He leans forward and kisses her again, this time by the corner of her mouth. Kira's gaze is fixed on his beautiful face, framed by long dark hair, and then her eyes trails over to the flat chest. And then she has a mental breakdown
A scream escapes her as she curls under her blanket. " What the hell are you doing? Get out!!"
Moon blinks, momentarily taken aback by her reaction. Then his eyes darkened and a scowl replaces the cheerful expression on his face. " You would have preferred it if it were Dae, wouldn't you?"
" Excuse me?"
Moon ignores her, he takes the lantern and walks out of the room, he slammed the door hard on his way out. Kira's mind worked hard to comprehend what had just happened. Moon had tried to seduce her and when she had turned him down he had gotten angry. But what did Dae have to do with it?
Kira refuses to believe that she is the sort of person to keep men around for...for sex!. She hadn't even kissed anyone before, thankfully Moon hadn't kissed her on the lips. She would hate to give up her first kiss to a stranger. They were all strangers, perhaps just a fiction of her imagination
She lays in bed for a long time not able to fall asleep. She felt too afraid that someone else might show up and try to....shit!. Kira got out of bed and dragged the chair by her bedside to the door, she jammed it against the lock. Only with this was she able to feel safe. She goes back to bed, and this time she falls asleep.
When Kira wakes up in the morning, she finds herself on her couch. Her Couch! In her own apartment!! It turned out that it had all been a dream, she hadn't gotten struck by lightening at all. She had over nine missed calls from Dae and his manager. She quickly goes to the bathroom to freshen up.
She has some unfinished business with that asshole!!
