Seized By The Sea God

Chapter 8

Annabelle explained further that this is the King's chambers who is also the strange man that has been lurking around me. I sighed and followed them as they led the way out of the chamber.

"Is this my room?" I inquired with a raised brow glancing at the other room and back to Annabelle and Christine.

"My lady, this is the King's order to have your room next to his" Christine asserted and unlocked the door, ushering me into the room. I groaned and stepped into my new room checking out the settings, Annabelle and Christine left afterward leaving me alone in the room, "I guess this is the best time to get to know my room better" I uttered and moved around the room but couldn't understand the settings, although is not as big as the other one, I might probably get lost in the quest of getting acquainted with my new room, I let myself fall on the bed which is soft just like my bed at home. My mood suddenly turned gloomy as I remembered the betrayal of dad and aunt Reena to mom. I'd promised mum to seek revenge but here I am stocked up in a godforsaken place that is unknown to me. I stood up from the bed and walked to that which caught my attention, "what could that be?" I arched my brow as I moved to it, taking in the whole thing which seems like water, "yes water! How can there be standing water in my room" I moved closer to it and poked it, it made a dripping sound and became still. I found that amusing and immediately thought of something, I stretched my hand and put it all into the dripping water. My jaw literally dropped as it all swallowed my arms, I was about to pull out my hand when I felt something like a key handle, I went for it and twisted the knob which left a creaking sound, I was scared to nuts the moment I start feeling movement around my arm, I wanted to scream but the dripping water divided into two revealing a closet with series of outfits, I was totally bewildered with my eyes wide in shock, I strode into the closet checking out the whole area, "nice setting, I would inquire the information of the person that created the closet from the strange man. This is perfect. I'd love to have it in my room at home" I thought as I stepped out of the closet. The dripping water got locked the moment I stepped out of the closet. I shrugged and walked back to bed. "Knock knock" I heard a bang coming from the door.

"Come in" I muttered still laying on the bed, Annabelle and Christine walked in with a bowl of roses and peaches, they bowed and walked into a door that I didn't know existed, "very good they are perfect for my plan" I smirked, I needn't be in a rush else I'll be caught before I even thought of escaping, I closed my eyes meditating with the sound of dripping water and slowly fall into slumber. 

"My lady" I heard a distorted voice calling out to me, I thought it was in my dream and attempted to find the owner of the voice but I couldn't. The voice became louder, I stretched myself, rubbing my eyes profusely when I saw Annabelle and Christine with a worried look. Probably one of them owned the voice I heard in my dream, I sat down on the bed shooting them a glare.

"What's the noise about? I was just trying to get some sleep" I let out in an angry tone.

"I'm sorry my lady, you were sweating, rolling to each end of the bed, and mumbling some unknown words. I was scared that you might be having a nightmare" Christine asserted, I rolled my eyes and got down from the bed. My belly suddenly growled. I rubbed my belly, recalling that I haven't eaten anything since the cruise ship.

"My lady, we've prepared your bath. The king also requested your presence. Christine muttered, "This is the way to the bathhouse" she let out as she unlocked the door. I strode into the bathhouse with her strolling behind me, I halted and turned to her giving her a questioning glare.

"My lady, I'll be here to assist you in bathing, that's my duty as your servant" I stared at her bewildered. In which world are we? I've never heard of such. I chuckled and instructed her to leave, that I would be able to manage.

"I'll be outside my lady, if you need me just ring the bell" she pointed towards the spring that looks like a bathtub, I nodded in response. She bowed and left, locking the down behind her. I groaned and undressed, this has been the outfit I wore for the cruise ship, "Chloe!" She crossed my mind suddenly. "How is she, I wonder if she survived?" I thought as I stepped into the spring which looks cold but probably hot when it hits the skin, "this is just like soaking yourself in a jacuzzi" I roamed my hand at the edge of the spring searching for a shower gel, I found one after a while and scrubbed my body diligently, making sure to wipe it clean. I haven't taken my bath in two days which is not ladylike. I held my breath and swam under the spring which looks small outside but deeper on the inside. I gasped as I brought out my face from the spring, I stepped out and found a white towel neatly placed at a table. I wiped myself dry, tied the towel, unlocked the door, and walked out of the bathhouse. I was stunned to see Christine still standing at the door, I thought I instructed her to leave, I shrugged, walked past her, and sat on the bed confused about what next to do as I haven't gotten used to all this, Christine pulled out a seat in front of a large mirror and motioned me to sit, I stared at her for a while and moved to the seat.
