Chapter 24

Celestina's POV

After saying those words, King Zen did not speak again and it keeps me hanging. What the hell is his problem? Why is he saying uncleared things but will not give time to clarify everything? Doesn't he know that I love to overthink and now he is giving more things to overthink. How great of him. And even though how much I want to ask him of what does he meant with all the things he said, I just could not force him to speak because there is a possibility that I might just piss him off. So I try my hardest to reciprocate his actions. If he he will not speak, I will not speak either.

"Maybe you should learn how to organize your clothes even though it was already used," he says while looking down the floor and my eyes widen when I saw what he is looking at. And he is looking at my worn clothes that's scattered on the floor. Those were the clothes I undressed and I just realize how stupid I was for not putting it into a hamper. And even my undies are on the floor. And from that moment, I already know that it is a another shame for me. So before he could puke because of the disgust on my nastiness, i hurried pick my clothes up then put in on the hamper. Imagine the shame I am feeling right now just because of the clothes I forgot to fix.

Despite of the shame I experienced for the moment he saw me this morning, I have no choice but to still face him because he is still here. I just can't shoo him away.

"Still need more?" I asked smiling so that he will not think that I want him leave--but only this room. I just need time to breathe because his presence started to choke me. I can face him again maybe downstairs.

"I will meet you downstairs for the breakfast. Be presentable," he said while eyeing me from head to toe. His tone is like saying that I am not presentable enough to have breakfast with him. Well, I know to myself that is real but can't he just be more careful with his words? Does he not care for girl's feelings?

"Okay," is all I say so just he can leave now. And he did not say anything as he left this room. I took a deep breath and release all the air that I did not know I was holding. I have never been that humiliated in my entire life like that. To think that it was King Zen and I acted so damn stupid in front of him.

I sit on the bed where King Zen was sitting a while ago. I fan my face using my both hands because I feel like I was going to faint and I need air so I can breathe again. That was just so embarrassing and how I wish I would not be able to experience that again. Especially in front of King Zen. I need to recover from the humiliation I experienced. I think King Zen knows that I need time to recover and I just hope that he won't not mind if he will wait for me there for a little while since it was came from him that I should be presentable. So he knows that I need to fix myself and that needs time.

After breathing for several times, I decided to look for a presentable clothes on the closet. The only presentable clothes I saw was the laced dress so I pull it out from the pile of clothes. Then I headed to the bathroom to take a shower first. There is no bath of milk here unlike in the castle but the toiletries are obviously expensive and high maintenance. This is good because I have a very sensitive skin.

I took a shower and I make it as fast as I could because King Zen might loss his temper. He will not wait for me forever so eve though he is willing to give me time, I still need to move fast. Right after taking a shower, I put my dress on then face the vanity mirror to put some makeups on my face. I do not wear heavy make up so I do not give much time in the mirror. I look at my whole reflection from the mirror before I storm out the room.

I was supposedly go directly to the dining area because I thought that he is already there but then I was shock when I saw him down the stairs like he is actually waiting for me. He watched me walks and I did not see any impatience in his face. I think he really expected me to take long. I try to read his reaction if he has something to say in my looks. I was just thinking if this look of mine can pass his standards of being presentable.

But even though how much I look at him, I cannot really read his eyes. And I am starting to overthink this is not presentable enough to him. When I reach his front, I manage to smile at him.

"Let's eat?" I tell him and he just nod. We walk together to the dining area and none of us bothered to speak. And this is just fine because I have nothing to say to him.

We reached the dining area and there is already food over the table. There are two plates and I think that everyone here knew that King Zen will be here except me. They should have told me about the. Because if they only did, they I could have not experienced all the disaster in the room.

We both seated and I was shock because there is no fresh blood here. All of the foods in front of us are food of humans. And I think that this will be his foods too...or nah?
