Chapter 31
Celestina's POV
The following days have been so quiet but I would not put my mind at peace. I want to prepare myself for another invasion. And I want that this time, I can dominate my body because that is what supposed to be. This is my body and the most needed to happen is to have my control back in this body. I will not let that werewolf to dominate again my body.
I do not know how to counter this witchcraft that is happening to me but I think I need to go to church with the hope that it can lessen the chance of the werewolf's domination. But how can I get to the church? I do not think it would be easy because of course, I need to ask Zen's permission first before going out. And I do not think I could make it to the church all by myself because I seriously have no idea on where on earth this mansion is. I was not able to familiarize the road to get here because this is really far from where I originate. I need someone to drive me to church one Zen gave me permission.
But the last time I saw Zen was the time we had breakfast in my very first morning here. And that is probably three days ago. I hope he will find time to be here again so that I could ask for permission. Well, I can call him over the phone but I prefer to ask him in person. I just hope he will be here real soon. Because if not, it will leave me no choice but to ask for his permission over the phone and stop waiting for him to arrive.
But after that day too, I became elusive from the other human here in the mansion. And I have no idea if they notice it or not. But for me, this is the only option I have here. They need to distance themselves from me because we all have no idea on what might happen next. But this time is different. I think I need to talk to any of the human here so I could ask them questions because there are things I need to know about my plan.
So even though my bed is so inviting to continue lying down, I got no choice but to stand up already just so I could have someone to ask. But I do not need to go further to have someone to ask because as I open the door of my room, I saw Viola sweeping the floor and I think that she is cleaning the entire hallway. I can see how exhausted she is now and a sweat is dripping down her forehead.
I pity her a lot because I know that she is not getting any younger. But even though how much I wanted to tell her to take a rest and stop abusing her body, I know that she will not listen to me and that she will continue what she is doing. And the main reason is the fear she is feeling towards Zen.
"Excuse me, Miss Viola," I call her and I saw the way she flinched when she heard my voice. She recognized my voice and I could not believe that I have this kind of effect in her. She is kinda bothered with my presence. I want to feel hurt because I know to myself that I am harmless. But I am also aware of what I acted these past few days so I could not blame them for feeling that way.
"Yes, Miss Celestina?" she says casually. Well, at least she is still trying to be formal to me and I know how hard it is for her.
"Can I ask you a question?" I said and she smiles. Somehow, her smile is genuine and I know that she just had a relief that I am not going to scold her.
"Yes, sure," she answers and I return the smile.
"If ever I will be going out the mansion, is there someone who can drive me to wherever I am going?" I asked her but her smile that she is plastering to me are slowly fading like she did not expect that question. And she does not like the idea. She became worried and I do not know what was that for.
"Hope you will not mind me asking, Miss Celestina, but do you have any plan on going out?" she asks and I know that she is being careful with her tone. She does not want to offend me or make me feel that she is intervening my plan and I completely understand her concern.
"It is okay, Miss Viola. And about your question, yes, I have plan on going out. Maybe one of these days. Or the sooner, the better," I said and she became more worried.
"I do not think King Zen will allow you," she utters and her tone is obviously reminding me that the possibility of it will happen is still depend on Zen's answer. And now I know where her worry is coming from. She is worried that King Zen might not allow me. And she is not alone because I am also worrying about that and I think her worry was reasonable.
"Yes, I know. I would still try though," I said and she smiles a bit.
"Okay, Miss Celestina. But I want to inform you that King Zen already advice us about this possibility and his and his number one rule is to not let you out this mansion,"she says and my shoulders fall because of what I heard. "But you can still try, Miss Celestina. If ever you got your luck and King Zen Allows you, my husband Roman can drive you," she says and I smile again.
I could still try. I want to push my luck and it is a good thing that his husband will be the one driving me if ever. I know I will be safe and at peace even though I have not met him yet.
