My Royal Assassin

Chapter 6: Infuriating but attractive man

Chapter Six

Sahara's POV

I wait for my mother to say something as to what she wants to talk about with me, this time. But all she did was sit and look at the papers that are needed to be signed.

We are currently sitting in her office with me in front of her. I sighed in frustration, having enough of her silence but before I could open my mouth the door burst open revealing the only person that I never expected.

Caelan

He walked in front of us and bowed his head, not looking at me. My mother finally looks up and smiles at him.

Are they both ignoring me?

"Your majesty" Caelan greeted. My mother nodded at him and finally look at me.

"Sahara this is our guess, Caelan Álvarez," she said, using her hand in gesture. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

"Yes, I know," I answered almost yawning in boredom. My mother gives me a firm look and I immediately strained up and look at Caelan, smiling fakely. "Nice to meet you"

Wouldn't want to mess with the Queen

The look on Caelan's face tells me that she saw the look my mom had given me because his lips twitched almost like a smirk.

This infuriating man!

"Likewise, princess," he said, his voice slightly hinted with amusement. I narrowed my eyes and cross my arms, making sure to turn completely to him, making sure that my mother didn't see it.

I pressed my lips in a thin line, looking at him with a blank expression. My annoyance only grew when he looks at me with his face twinkling in amusement.

I froze

I slowly put down my hands, looking at his eyes. Those twinking deep ocean blue eyes, it looks so familiar to the man in my dreams. The way their eyes blinked in amusement, it's completely the same.

My heart pounds in my chest rapidly, the feeling of warmth surging in my chest. I suddenly felt complete, the hole in my heart, the missing piece in my life, and the longing and sadness, it's all disappearing. But something doesn't feel right, something is wrong.

Then suddenly the amusement in his eyes is replaced by a guarded expression, like something snap in his mind that made him stoic again, and he looks away.

I heard my mother cleared his throat

I look at her again.

"Sahara, as the future Queen you need to learn things, and to do that you need to train." Oh no, I know where this is going. I opened my mouth to protest but she raised her palm, silencing me. I slowly closed my mouth again, looking slightly awkward.

"I know you already go to a lot of training but I want you to be ready, so I have a task for you to do." she said, giving me one of her 'don't argue with me' look. So I don't have a choice but to nod my head.

"You will assist Caelan with the things he wants to know and tour him around the whole Kingdom." My eyes widen. This is worse than I ever expected.

"But. . ." she shakes his head.

"No buts young lady." she looks at the two of us. "Both of you better prepare because you will be spending a lot more time together."

I look at Caelan with pleading eyes.

Maybe he can convince her to assign another girl or anyone, someone? I'm okay with it as long as it wasn't me.

But to my defeat, he just looks straight at my mother.

I look at my mother again and see that she is looking at me with a raised eyebrow, waiting for my reply.

I sighed

"Yes mother," she smiles, pleased with my answer.

"Great. Now you two, go and hang out or explore. I'm sure you will enjoy each other's company." I highly doubt it, he is too quiet and boring to my liking.

I stand up and follow Caelan outside, he closed the door behind him and continue to walk and just ignore me. I gritted my teeth in frustration and annoyance.

"Wait!" I ran after him. He stops and turns to look at me.

"What?" he asked.

"Are you deaf? Did you hear or just not listened to what my mother had said."

"I'm not deaf and I listened to all of the Queen had said."

"And you just choose to ignore it?" I asked, looking at him in disbelief.

"No"

"So why aren't you doing what she said? You need answers right? Then question me." I say, slightly raising my head.

He sighed

"Tomorrow," is all he said, and then turn around and left.

"Hey!" I called out but he just waves his hand dismissively and continues to walk away.

He is so freaking annoying!

I really hate you, Caelan Álvarez!

"Why can't I hate him?" I groaned in my pillow.

I do feel hate him.

No

Yes

Maybe

Or maybe not

"Urhh! What is wrong with me?!"

I wanted to hate him so badly but when I think that, I feel like it's a lie. Because I can't freaking hate him. The only feelings I felt for him is an annoyance, frustration, and.... attraction?

I shake my head.

No. No. No. No. Pff! Me? Attracted to him. Meh, Impossible.

Liar

Me liar? Never.

Okay, sometimes.

But I can't be attracted to him that easily. I just meet him, yesterday.

Is it love at first sight?

No. Nope. Naah.

I shake my head in denial.

"Ughh! I'm going crazy!" I screamed in my pillow, my voice going muffled. "I'm even talking to myself because of him." Is it normal talking to yourself because your in denial when you find someone attractive?

How many times do I have to tell myself that, I. AM. NOT. ATTRACTED. TO HIM.

I took a deep breath and try to calm myself down.

But why do I feel complete when I'm with him? I don't feel like that to anyone else. But something is really wrong. When I look at him I feel like he's just a couple of steps to attain but at the same time, he's also looked a thousand miles away.

Am I going abnormal or psychotic?

Is this normal?

Is this feeling going to vanish when I finally admit that I'm truly attracted to him?
