Seized By The Sea God

chapter 15

Realizing that I dozed off and I was only seeing her in my dream, I let out a loud groan and stepped out of the hot spring drying my body, I tied the towel on my lower body and strode into the room moving towards the closet when a thud on the door made me halt in my position.

"Who could it be at this hour? Come in" I softly ordered, Lysander stepped in and bowed, "what's all this, didn't I send you away already?" I picked a bathrobe and wore it immediately.

"My apologies my king, but the queen mother and Miss Ophelia are coming to the east wing tomorrow" he let out, east wing? That is supposed to be my territory. What is that woman thinking? I ran my hand through my hair with no hint of what mother is planning, still, I would've to sit and watch her humiliate herself.

"My king I think it's time you let the people that queen Demeter is alive and with you" I shook my head in disapproval, "I wouldn't want her to be in any form of trouble, she is yet to remember that she is a goddess or even recover her power, letting the people know about her is only exposing her to more danger" I uttered with a shrug. Lysander nodded in agreement and walked out of my chamber. I quickly change into my night robe, lay on the bed attempting to rest my mind but I can't help but ponder over the conversation I had with my advisor. Is not yet time Demeter and I won't pressurize you, I mumbled as I drifted to slumber.

Stretching my arms as the chirping birds continued singing with a loud melodious tone, I rubbed my eyes and got off the bed, I stretched myself a little more before walking into the bathhouse, after a while I came out with my hair dripping wet, I dried my hair, chose a red velvet robe and wore it, I looked at the mirror and smiled evilly before stepping out of the chamber, with everyone mumbling a greeting as I pass, I kept a straight face till I reached the long hallway that leads to the private hall, hoping that Demeter is already at the dining room, I placed my both my hand on my back and took a long stride into the hall with my eyes roaming around the hall, to my disappointment Demeter wasn't present. My face darkened as I strode to the table, I pulled a seat and sat, "why is the lady not here for breakfast?" I asked Lysander who was just standing behind me.

"The personal servants assigned to my lady notified me that she still sleeping" I groaned and wave him off dismissively and started eating up the food quickly, I wiped my hand and mouth and strode out of the hall to Demeter's chamber, truly she was still deeply asleep, looking innocently dazzling with peach lips that are calling on me. I sat down on the sofa staring at the beautiful sight before me. Many hours have passed and Demeter was still sleeping, I wonder if this is how she sleeps in the human world? Abruptly she stretched out with a yawn and rolled to the other side of the bed with her eyes landing on me she stared at me with horror and nearly screamed down the whole castle as she have seen a ghost. She sat on the bed curling up as she berated for stepping into a lady without notice and when she sleeping, inquiring if I wanted to take advantage of her, I scoffed and moved to the bed, she backed away immediately with a stern face. My voice was full of sarcasm I informed her how sweetly and comfortably she was sleeping. She rolled her eyes, I quickly explained that I was just worried about her, and not seeing her for breakfast made me think that she might be down with fever. She smirked and mockingly commented that cell phones were not being used in my kingdom and that she hadn't seen anyone with a cellphone. I shrugged and cursed inwardly, it is not like Pontus doesn't make use of a cell phone, but I threatened everyone in the east wing never to use their cellphones around Demeter. She might end up convincing them into lending their phones to her and that wouldn't be good. I'm afraid she will contact the outside world and seek for help, not that I'm I'm scared of mortals, as a God i would not want to start a fight with the mortals as i know that just by striking my trident ones the whole mortal realm would be clear out, basically, i don't want that to happen as I've no feud with them and I still have my mortal parents who treated me well when i was in their realm, i believe they're expecting much from me as their son but i failed fleeing their realm back to my kingdom, and my sister Chloe I'd miss her a lot, thinking about it why haven't I been feeling any connections with Chloe, i checked my wrist and found out that the skull bracelet has lesser, did she remove the bracelet i wondered for a while, i believe that i should pay a visit to the human realm soon i thought as i saw a slender hand waving in front of me that called me to earth, i held the hand and stared directly to her eyes, she flinched and attempted to back away but i tightened my grip on her and pulled her to my chest, i could her heart pounding heavily which made me realized what I've done, although i won't blame myself I've been craving for that embrace since she arrived, i released her from my embrace with my eyes fixated on her face, she trembled with her face turning pale, i sighed helplessly.

"What's wrong with you Demeter? I wasn't even going to do anything to you. I just needed to hug you" I explained but it seemed like she wasn't buying my explanation.

"This is it, you calling me Demeter and hugging me, it's all not accepted. My name is f*****g jasmine, not Demeter, and what gives you the right to think that you can embrace me?" She barked back, folding both hands on her chest.
