Seized By The Sea God

chapter 14

I breathed heavily and sat back on the chair, atlas he wasn't disgusted with my food, I thought half excited. I watched as he ate the whole food, locking his eyes as he savored the taste, "not bad" I guessed by the look on his face, fixing my gaze on him. He sat his back at seat staring at me for a while before complimenting the taste of the food, my lips curled into a thin smile, but I rolled my eyes feeling a bit awkward as I couldn't stand his burning gaze on me, I chuckled and motioned him to eat up and strode out the hall excited. "One step away and I'll buy over his heart" I muttered to myself sauntering along the hallway that leads to my room, I've got to freshen up, I moved the handle of the door and it flung open, I banged the door behind me and ambled into my room as I strip myself and moved to the bathhouse where I soaked myself for a whole hour before stepping out of the hot spring, I wiped myself dry and wore a bathrobe as I've no strength to rummage the closet in search of nightwear. I dried my hair and went straight to the bed allowing my mind to unfold the incident that happened today, "I would never have believed it if someone told me that I'd be able to cook perfectly just by watching my nanny put some ingredients together" I giggled feeling a lot happier and relieved that my first cooking was awesome just like the super talented chefs, I thought closely before I drifted to sleep.

I rolled at the other end of the bed feeling my whole body drained of energy, I stretched myself as my eyes slightly opened, I gasped abruptly the moment I saw a figure on the long couch in my room, my eyes opened widely seeing him clearly I jolted and curled into a ball, "you! What are you doing here? Sneaking into a lady's room, are you planning on taking advantage of me while I'm asleep? I queried, staring at him with a grievance. He chuckled and moved closer to me, I backed away slightly leaving a distance between us

"Chill. I can guess that you slept quite well" I sneered gazing away from him. "Waking by noon I believe there is no better answer than that. It's great that you're feeling relaxed in the castle" I widened my eyes in shock, did I sleep that much? Might be because I was tired yesterday, I groaned, shooting him a glare. He sighed deeply, "I was only worried that you were not present for breakfast, so I came to check up on you" he explained I could swear that I felt a little relief but I still put on an expressionless face.

"It wasn't my fault that I wasn't present for breakfast if you'd have something that probably tells the time I would've been up for breakfast" I ranted with sarcasm, he growled but stopped for a while like he is holding up to something.

"I'd believe a cell phone would be better, but painfully I haven't seen anyone with a cellphone"I widened my eyes as I thought of it. "How do you even communicate with the people far away from the castle?" I asked curiously.

"We have our ways" he countered, I was shocked at his response. If there is no cellphone for communicating with people, how will I ask for help when I escape? I bit my lips. Abruptly it occurred to me that I had no one to call or go back to, but just to seek revenge, my face turned pale as I wandered off thinking of an escape plan.

Damon's p.o.v.

"My king" Lysander broke my thought, lowering his head.

"What! Lysander, can't I have some time alone?" I inquired. He pressed his lip into a thin and mumbled "your bath is ready" I arched my brow shooting a furious glare at him, how can I have him as my personal advisor? I'm beginning to regret making him my advisor, he is already getting on my nerves.

"Is that why you break into my silent moment?"

"My apologies, my king. But I believe that soaking yourself in the hot spring will help you relax your mind" he muttered, still bowing.

"How bold of you Lysander. You think because I valued you that you can speak boldly to your king? I guess you've forgotten what a bolt of lightning will do to you in a moment" I threatened and watched as he flinched.

"My apologies my king, I just worried about your health, and .." I waved my hand suddenly, gesturing for him to stop bantering. Although I was pissed by his nosy behavior I still valued him, he had been with me since I was made the crown prince. I stood up from the seat and walked out of the private dining hall. Walking along the hallway I noticed that Lysander wanted to say something to me but he kept mute, I sneered now he is getting all scared because of a little threat about a bolt of thunder, moving closer to my room he unlocked the door and adjusted to the center for me to get in, I stepped into my and suddenly twirled watching as he was about to walk in with his left feet already at the edge, I shot him a deadly glare and he staggered back since he is not ready to convey his words he'd better leave I won't just sit around watching him shudder in fear, I slammed the door and strip off the white robe as I took a long stride to the bathhouse, I soaked myself into the hot spring relaxing my mind and meditating when I felt a soft tap on my shoulder, my eyes fluttered open and were stunned at the sight before me.

"Demeter" I mumbled in utter dismay. She smiled hovering around me. "Finally, you've remembered me" I held her hand gazing into her eyes which was drawing me closer to her, I arched closer to lock our lips but she disappeared suddenly making me jolt up, I groaned as I found out that I dozed off in the hot spring.
