Seized By The Sea God

chapter 35

"Where is the ballroom and what's happening there?" I inquired one breath.

"The ballroom is two corridors away. The king hosted a TRF dance" he countered, he is probably enjoying himself, but why haven't I heard of dance like that? I bit my lips thinking deeply but couldn't point out what it means. "What does that mean? I haven't heard of it" I asked, fixing my gaze on him.

"My lady, I would advise you not to press further, is not something you would want to know. Don't look for the King" he said. That got me more confused and eager to know what stopped him from coming for breakfast, I wanted to ask Nicholas many questions, I gulped and held myself back, "fine, I'll head back to my room now" I asserted, he nodded and strode to the table while barking orders to the other worker, I sighed and left the dining hall wondering if I should go back to my room and start the tour or look for the king, "I'll pass" I uttered and turned to the direction of my room, but something in me was telling to search for the king, "why should I search for him? Is not like I needed something from him. I don't know what I was thinking when I wanted to find him" I mumbled. Attempting to open my, "I'll just follow my mind" I chuckled sheepishly and went to search for him.

"Argh!" I groaned annoyingly. "Why are there many corridors and why is it hard to find the ballroom?" I mumbled already exhausted, I guess I should forget about looking for the king and go back to find Anna and Christine to start our tour, "perfect idea" I nodded and was about to leave when I saw two guards with bottles of wine, they'd know the ballroom I smiled thinking that all is not lost, "hey!" I shouted, they both turned back to my direction, but hurriedly approached me and bowed, "my lady" they said in unison.

"Where is the ballroom?" I asked, they both gazed at each other and swallowed hard. "Hey, what's wrong? Ignoring me! Fine! I'm going to report this to the king" I threatened. "My lady the ballroom is this way" the blonde guard pointed to the left where a large wooden door is, I smiled and patted his shoulder "is not that hard you know" I asserted, he shuddered and backed away, I frowned but composed myself as this was not why I'm here, I smirked and pass between them, "my it's two corridors away from the wooden door" I nodded without turning back, I pushed the door with both hands it left a loud creak and unlocked. "This is it. I've been searching for you for a while. Although I'm exhausted by you I won't berate you" I beamed and took the first corridor which is longer than the ones I see daily. "Finally!" I breathed heavily as I've passed the two long corridors and now I could hear sounds melodious music coming from the door which was by the left, I swirled the direction and strode towards the door, I pushed the door open and walked in, the enclosed space was reeking of alcohol that I nearly got choked. I was so engrossed in finding the king that I didn't know what was going on, suddenly screams erupted the whole, I flinched at their sudden scream. I glanced around and saw everyone tearing off their outfit and running onto the stage dancing happily. My face heated up out of embarrassment. "I shouldn't have come" was the only thing that left my lips before my eyes went wide. I was stunned by the view that filled my eyes, "men and women making out" my stomach tied into a knot making me nauseous. "You wanted this Jasmine, you were told not to be here" I scolded myself and locked my eyes. Abruptly someone bumped into me that made my eyes flutter open, he bowed apologetically with an unclad body I blushed and looked away, my jaw dropped at what I saw. "The.. the king is also a part of this?" I stuttered watching his tongue slide down the mouth of the woman sitting on his thigh fully naked, I felt hurt and annoyed that I clenched my fist, "Jasmine doesn't be a killjoy, is none of your business" I told myself and glanced at him once more. As I was about to turn away from him and leave the ballroom, our gaze locked. He glared at me with an expressionless face, I sneered with disgust, shaking my head in disdain, not wanting to stay any longer in this forsaken place, I took a long stride towards the door, pushing my way towards the crowd, I nearly puke at the smell of male hormones mixing with air, "this is outrageous" I mumbled and yanked the door open, I should've listened to Nicholas this place is full of bad deeds, I thought walking back to my room.

"What took you so long? We've been here waiting for ages" they bashed me with questions immediately I stepped into my room.

"I went to search for the king in the ballroom, but it looks like I came at the wrong time" I uttered angrily and threw myself on the bed. "You look pissed, what's the matter and what happened in the ballroom?" Christine was quick to ask, "sad! Why would I be?" I sat up staring at them, "I went to the ballroom to search for the king but was shocked instead. Men and women naked dancing, making out even your king is not exceptional, how dirty and disgusting they were in the ballroom right now, I would never have imagined such thing exists" I huffed with my palms covering my face, "I'm so ashamed of seeing such thing, I won't be able to sleep peacefully " I gritted my teeth while hugging my feet.

"You shouldn't have gone to the ballroom," Anna said calmly, I nodded in agreement. "Yes, I should have listened to Nicholas, he told me not to but I just wanted to tell the king that we will be leaving soon for the tour" they both hugged trying to make me calm.
