Good People.

My palm form into a soft fist and knock the door and waited patiently.

I can't believe I slept on his chest! Why do I have to be so clumsy when I am sleepy? I hate all these stupid silly mistakes I make whenever I am in a male's presence.

The door creaked open and what I stare at directly, is his chest, bare... Chest.

"Uhhh... " it should be disgusting but I feel like I want to see it more.

"What is it, Lyla?" He called my name calmly and I felt like melting entirely. Like right now.

"Your... Your father asked me to come see you" I say, not staring into his eyes but at the ground.

Surprisingly, and without saying anything, he adjusted and I hesitated at first...

Hesitation is normal. No! IT'S NOT!!!

I stepped into the room fully alarmed at the sound of the door closing gently behind me.

I turn around to face him but my shoulders forcefully got pinned to the wall and I grimaced because of the slight pain I felt on my shoulders.

Please don't tell me he wanna do it, please don't tell me he wanna do it!!!

I stare up and into his eyes and held my breath for what feels like hours.

"I know you aren't ready" he whispered as he stared into my eyes.

I still stare at him. What else can he do apart from reading of minds?

"I... Uh... I"

"Shh... It's okay" he whisper softly and I feel heat radiate round my body as he leaned forward. I can feel his warm and cozy breath on my neck now.

Someone!!! Help me!!!

"And trust me when I say... I am"

Oops. He is ready for this marriage, isn't he now? He got all those weird things grow in his stomach cause of love right? He probably don't even love me. Or worse, have intentions of marrying multiple wives.

"Who told you that?"

I froze.

"Told me what?" I ask and he scanned me thoroughly.

"I heard you. Just now. You said what if I don't love you or have other intentions of marrying other wives"

It's probably just a symptom of insanity right?!

What the heck is this man?

"I... I never said that" I stuttered. It's hard to maintain stability of the tongue if I am going to speak up.

"Yeah you did. You did in your thoughts"

I feel my desire to know more about this man rise. Or wait...

Not just my desire to know him, but also the desire to... To...

To rule with him.

"I never said that, why can't you-"

"It's totally fine to be afraid"

I stare up at him and then realized how close we are. It gives me the creeps knowing that in a few days time, I will be married to this man. I wonder if what my Mum told me is true. About how all of this will feel at the later end.

"Or... Don't worry. I shall marry another person that has my good in mind, if you're are still not ready" he whispered softly.

My body radiate with heat, and the spirit of jealousy and it's like... He hurt me. Why will he say that?

I form my palms into soft fists and my breathing ceased. But only for a short period of time.

I think he saw me react.

He smirked at me when I said nothing and slowly tangled his fingers with mine. He raise my hand and I can't help but look at his smooth and woman-like but big palm and his fingers cross my own fingers.

His chiseled end face bent slightly and his hair fell on my hand. He kissed the back of my hand and... and...

I can't help it!

I felt his hair in my palms when he stood straight up again. His hair is silky and shiny, I can't just keep quiet but ask why do men have such beautiful hair?

Well, not all though.

"Uh... Th-Thank you" I whispered and force a smile to erupt on my face towards him.

"For what? You want me to marry one of my... "

"I... I don't... I don't want" I stutter, not looking into his eyes nor looking up.

From the upper corner of my eyes, I can see his lips formed into a smile. Even if I don't see his face entirely, I know that his face is perfect with that smile.

Magnus tilted my head and stared into my eyes.

"Don't be a scaredy cat, I am not a person of that kind of agenda"

I let out a sigh of relief and let the faint smile to wash over my face.

"Thank you... For telling me"

I don't even know what to say. He let his hands slide down the wall. With a last glance and a smirk, he walked over to another cut out door and opened it.

It's the shower room. The tree don't look like someone can be able to cut out so many doors! Especially because of the fact that it is a tree.

I sit on the couch and listen to the splashing of water in that room. It gets me thinking and uncomfortable.

Magnus is in there. I know he hears my thoughts now, even with the distance between us but...

How?

Why does he have to be so... So... So sharp?

The door creaked open and Anastasia poked her head in.

"Lyla? Are you waiting for Magnus?" she asked, opening the door and then I feel really uncomfortable now.

The Queen of the Rokha Dynasty have a well made bead necklace on her neck and a skimpy crop top with a pretty short skirt on, it can be used to dance the Hawaii dance.

"Yes... Yes I am" I said and she smiled.

"Don't be scared. Magnus and we, as his parents are good people. Please know that"

I smile at her and she closed the door shortly after she said that.

Good people.
