Get lost

" I...will remember this" Merry looked into his intrusive eyes and replied.

"Are you feeling sleepy?" Max rubbed her left eye softly when he saw her eyes all puffy for need of sleep ."You must be.".

"Frederick, escort Merry to her room now..." He instructed.

"You a-also look tired." Merry said.

"I will be back soon,so, don't wait for me I have something to deal with..Alright?". Max told and petted her.

Frederick led the way.Merry looked at Max while leaving. Just when their eyes met,

Max winked and smiled beautifully.Merry turned to her way to hide her flustered face.

Max walked towards Calvin who was staring at Merry quite intensively for a quite long.Max had been noticing him from the start.As Max approached him and stood near, Calvin's eyes were still fixed at Merry's direction.

"I have something to talk to you about" Max told Calvin and directed him to the balcony.

"Quit with your habits of staring people intensively." Max mentioned while shooting dead glares at Calvin face.

"Finally, my war partner recognised me when I envied him..quite impressive Max " Calvin laughed and continued " Nice to see that you value the gem you have gotten ."

"Enough with your nonsense Calvin " Max said barbarously and stepped forward.Max was taller than Calvin.As he walked closer and looked dangerously ,Calvin too lost his fake smile and shooted his eyebrows.

"Nonsense? Huh? I am not saying something nonsense,it is that Masin who lost his mind handed his daughter's hand to tyrant like you."

"Calvin!" Max grabbed his collars and raised a punch.

"I sent proposal to him to marry his daughter but he refused and married her to you..huh. when I heard you married a girl named Merry, I thought it must be someone else but when I saw her face, it was non other than Masin's daughter." Calvin spoke with all frustrations.

In reality, Max and Calvin both got their training from king Masin when they were around fifteen and fought in the same war of Alka together. When he saw Merry in a carriage while escorting king Masin and her with others, he got captivated.Later, when Max and Calvin went for the battle, he attempted to kill Max when he saw Max killing every single opponent on the battlefield devilishly with no mercy.He knew that once this war was over, Max would become remarkable that Calvin never wanted.

"You don't deserve her, a monster like you! I hoped you died on that battle with your savage blood." Calvin added exasperatedly.

Max paused and said " I know...I am not deserving of her not at all..but I also know that you also don't deserve her and keep in your damn brain I don't even spare god when it comes to killing ,so who are you to get out without tasting the taste of blood from a monster like me."

"I deserve her ! I will get her out of your hands Maximilian ! She is going to be mine!" Just as Calvin articulated, Max with all his crossness punched his face . Calvin stumbled and laughed as blood started coming down from his nose.He looked at Max and smirked.

"I've had enough of you ! Keep your filthy shadow away from my wife.It is my very last warning to you or you will die with my hands in no time " Max warned and walked out

"Crazy bastard ! ." Calvin shouted with anger.

He cleaned his blood with his finger nuckles and pointed his eyes at Max direction.

************

Max returned to his room at midnight.He went to the forest to clean his mind.

'Why I am feeling like a shit? I guess hearing I don't deserve her,made me feel even more pity for her to get wed to a man who...' As Max stood in front of the door of their room, his thoughts covered the space of his mind.

He waited for awhile.He sighed and opened the door.His eyes blinked blankly in the dark, quite room when they landed on Merry who was looking at the moon.When she heard the door opened, she turned and smiled brightly under the moonlight coming from the window.

She calmed his chaos. He claimed her colour. All they did was falling in their own universe made up to mollify.

"Why haven't you slept yet? " Max asked with low voice as he walked closer to her.

" I was waiting for you" Merry said softly.

"You don't have to." Max replied with a sad look which was mingling in his words.

" I wanted t-to wait for you." Merry replied back quickly.Merry grabbed his right hand lightly and pulled it closer to her.His hand was cold.Merry covered his hand with her hands.

"I don't deserve to be waited for dear." Max returned to his thoughts which were filled with indescribable discomfort.

Merry looked up to meet his eyes which were unpredictable to the point where she couldn't understand what she could do for him when he was speaking like this.

At time like these, she wanted to comfort him but how.

Merry pulled his hand to her face and nuzzled.Her passing breaths gave warmth to his hand .Max gulped as she nuzzled and then kissed his palm.Max eyes widened.

He taken back his hand and looked at her with surprise.

"I don't know why you think that Max but...even if I h-have to wait for you even longer I will desperately b-be willing to wait for you."

Just as Merry's words reached Max ears Max ears reddened, Max hauled her to his chest and connected their lips desperately.Merry couldn't think clearly,her eyes wide opened with surprise .She felt like she was burning up when both of them engulfed each other's breaths.Max was holding her so tightly that their bodies were pressed against each other.He was craving for her soft petal like lips and sweet tongue.He devoured her.Merry gasped.After a while she stopped struggling for air as she heard his addictive heartbeats to her chest.

His heart beats were magical.She melted.
