Aahana yawned and walked into the room. She was about to walk inside the bathroom to change, but halted at her step. Narrowing her eyes, she looked around; someone is watching her. She looked at her window and frowned. Today’s night seems much darker than before. She walked towards the window to see what seems to be wrong.
She saw nothing. Everything seemed fine, but she could not shake the feeling. She shook her head and walked inside the bathroom and took off her clothes before getting inside the bathtub and closing her eyes. She felt relaxed, and soon her poker face had a subtle smile. She looked at the screen in front of the bathtub with her peripheral sight.
She stayed inside the bathtub for sometime relaxing herself before getting up; not caring that the eyes were looking at her naked figure. She covered her body with a bathrobe and turned around.
“Haven’t you enjoyed enough? Come out now.”; She said to the person hiding behind the screen. A chuckled followed as a man with black hair and silver eyes came out from behind. He was as tall as Aarav but had much buffed up physic.
“You knew a man is inside the bathroom and yet you took off your clothes. Are you seducing me? Because let me tell you, you have succeeded.”; The man said.
“What’s your name? Because your hair colour and eyes seemed too normal”; Aahana asked. She was not paying any attention to his talk. But what attracted her was his hair and eye colour. He looks too normal to belong to this world. Is he also from another world?
“What?”; He asked with a shocked expression.
“What’s your name, I asked? Are you dumb or something?”; Aahana asked with a bored expression. She does not care if a man has seen her body. She is not some shy maiden here.
“HAHAHAHAHA, you are an interesting lady. I will give you, my name. I am Rowan Milo Richter, Crown Prince of Gloria.”; Rowan said. He looked at her with a proud expression, thinking she must be surprised and would have fallen for him upon hearing his position. But when he saw her expression, his pride came crashing down. She looked disappointed.
Aahana was disappointed; she thought he might be from another world but when she heard he is a Crown Prince, she could not contain her disappointed. She lost any kind of interest she had in him. She shook her head and looked at him with a bored expression.
“So, you are a p*****t Prince; who came here to peek at a girl. Tsk PATHETIC.”; Aahana said with a disgusting expression.
“HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME!!?”; Rowan shouted. There is no one who can insult him. He is handsome, strong and a Crown Prince. Everyone thinks twice before even saying a word.
“Insulting you; what a joke? How can I insult someone who is an insult to this world?”; Aahana mocked him. He gritted his teeth and drew out his sword; but just as he was about to walk towards her to behead her, she spoke up again.
“Stop, and kneel.”; Aahana ordered.
Rowan’s eyes widened when he found his body following her command. He felt conscious, yet he was not in control of his body. Aahana smiled at him and looked at the buffed man kneeling down. Aahana chuckled and shook her head. She loves when she leaves a part of consciousness out of her control, so that the person feels the helplessness of not being able to do anything. The feeling of helplessness breaks a person.
“Place your sword near you neck.”; Aahana ordered.
Rowan’s breath hitched when he followed again. She smiled and walked towards him and patted his head.
“Good boy.”; Aahana complimented him. He wanted to growl at him, making her smile widened.
“I would love to kill you right here, right now. But it would cause problems for me. I don’t think I will clean the mess your pieces will cause me. So, sheath your sword. You will go back the way you came and forgot everything that happened.”; Aahana said; she clicked her fingers. Rowan’s eyes became clouded. Every single control was now under her control.
Rowan got up and walked out of her room. Aahana chuckled, looking at a buff man following her command like a dog. She sighed; if only she could use her power on the Griffith family. But Aarav has prohibited her to do something like that. He does not want any of them to know that she has powers. Even though she can erase any memory, he has denied it.
She walked out of the bathroom and changed into her nightdress. She sighed and facepalmed herself. She forgot to ask why did a prince came into Griffith estate and particularly in her room. She shook her head and laid down on her bed. She met two princes in a day and let just say she is disappointed. No one is like a Disney Prince; she saw in movies. Both of them gave her a sense of disgust and disappointed but it was fascinating to note that Augustus made her disgusted and she saw him as some sort of threat. While Rowan, who literally watched her bath like a p*****t just made her disappointed, maybe even a little disgusted, but there was no strong repulsion like when she met Augustus.
She does not know what is making her worried, but all she knows she can trust no one except Aarav. She will need to look into this Augustus and Rowan. There has to be something that she can know about them and also figure out why does she feel like she has met them before?
Shaking her head, she looked outside the window. The night looked much brighter than before. Before closing her eyes, she knew she will go out tomorrow. She needs to make some connections and collect information about everything.
She would need Aarav’s help. She is sure that if she suddenly gives out the request none of the Griffith family will take anytime out to accompany her and her brother like last time. Last time it was almost like they predicted she would like to go outside. But this time will be different. She will also see that Wander Jist, and why she looked herself going inside that shop.
There are so many questions coming inside her head. But there is no one who can actually answer them. She cannot just ask people, WHY DO I FEEL DISGUST FEAR AND ANGER WHENEVER I SEE YOU? That will be weird and awkward. They might even lose the people who are actually providing them with food and shelter.
Aarav was in the library as he looked at the Griffith’s history book that Samuel mentioned before. He opened the book to read it. Everything Samuel said was written inside the book, making him smirk. He got up and placed the book back in its place on the shelf and walked out of the library, with one goal in mind. Getting out of GRIFFITH’S hold. These people are dangerous and manipulative as hell. Seems like they will go to any length to manipulate him and his sister. If they come to know about their power, who knows what will happen in the future.
