THE THIRD MORNING
AT ADRIAN'S POW:
Only four days left before I am taking her to the doctor. I am going to talk more about that with her before taking her. I must tell her what happened here and maybe then she will calm down a bit.
-Hello, miss.-I said.
-Hello, king. What do you want?-She asked.
-I wanted to talk to you about something.-I said.
-About what? If about my travel home, I am going to listen.-She said, and I growled.
-It's not about that. You are not going to leave this place any time soon.-I said and growled.
-Why is that?-She asked.
-Because you are solving the apocalypse!-I said loudly, and my eyes turned a darker color.
-I do not understand what in the world you mean by that.-She said.
-What is even your name, woman?-I asked.
-I am Ella, king.-She said, and I nodded.
-I am Adrian.-I said.
I walked closer to her and watched how she started stepping backwards. I am not sure why, but her fear of me somehow making me satisfied.
-Look at me, woman.-I said.
I watched how she looked into my eyes nervously. I looked at her and grinned. She looks so weak and fragile like that.
-Why are you looking at me like that?-She asked.
I know that she is trying to look not scared, but I can see her hands shaking slightly. It looks a bit funny when she tries to pretend to be strong and not afraid when she truly isn't. I kept walking towards her until her back reached the wall.
I pinned both of my hands above her and looked at her with a smirk on my face.
-You look pretty cute when you are scared.-I said.
-I am not scared.-Ella said, and I chuckled.
-I know that you are.-I said and got even closer to her.
I leaned even more close and grinned.
-Don't be so afraid. I am going to tell you why you are here in four days. In the meantime, eat well, and rest.-I said and left the room.
AFTER THREE MORE DAYS
AT ELLA'S POW:
When Adrian left, I sat down on my bed and sighed. I can not believe that he is treating me like that. It was a whole three days since he showed up inside of my room. I kept staying inside of my room, and nobody cared about my opinion at this point. One of the maids bought me food, but she almost did not talk with me. I have no idea why she was treating me like that. I decided to wait until that day when he is going to tell me what is happening.
--In a morning--
I woke up like usual and saw a maid already in my room.
-Good morning.-I said.
-Good morning.-She said and placed food on the table.
-Thanks.-I said and started eating my food.
After I finished, I noticed that maid is still inside of the room. I looked at her, and she walked closer to me.
-Something is wrong?-I asked.
-Master wishes to see you in his room.-Maid said.
-Why is that?-I asked.
-I do not know why, stop asking me questions as that.-Maid said, and I sighed before fallowing her into his chamber.
I waited outside his room before he let me come inside. I walked inside and saw him sitting on his bed, waiting for me.
-Finally.-He said.
-Why you called me here?-I asked.
-Sit down.-He said, and I sat down.
I watched how he placed a glass of something on table and sat back down into his spot.
-What is that?-I asked.
-Some 'juice'.-He said, and I looked at him, a bit confused.
-Thanks, I think.-I said.
-You welcome.-He said, and I could feel the tension coming from him.
I took a glass and looked at it before taking a few sips. It tasted good, so I finished the whole glass.
-It was not so hard, was it?-He asked.
-It tasted good. Can you tell me why am I here?-I asked.
-You wanted to know the reason why I took you here, right?-He asked.
-I was hoping to know the truth. -I said.
-The truth is..maid you see every day is from another kingdom. Our land suffered from an unknown illness, and most of my land females have died. I have fund cure.-He said, and I saw a smirk on his face.
-What is a cure? What do I have to do with it?-I asked.
I suddenly touched my head. I have started to feel warmth in my body. I looked at him and realized that drink had to do something with it.
-You should not have trust the demon, so easily.-He said and walked closer to me.
I tried to get backward, but he picked me up and placed me in the bed. I tried to sit up, but my body started to feel pretty weak, and I was unable to move like usual. I felt how my view got a bit blurry, and it was hard to see everything. I heard steps when someone walked inside the room.
-W-who is there?-I asked.
I could hear my tierd tone, and I knew that he put some kind of drug in that juice.
-Do your work.-I heard king Adrian's voice.
I felt how someone walked closer to me, and I felt cold hands on my skin. I tried to move, but it was not working.
I felt how it took off my pants and touched my skin with something. I froze for a moment and tried to concentrate to understand their conversation.
-When she is going to be ready?-Adrian asked.
-In less than a week. I am going to give that, so make her do the test, and when it turns green she will be ready.-A man said.
-Do you think she will be able to survive the marking ritual?-Adrian asked.
-I a not fully sure, but you can try to control yourself.-A man said before leaving.
I felt how a shadow leaned closer to me, and I saw Adrian who was looking at me with a smirk on his face.
-I knew that it was a good thing that spell bought you here.-Adrian said and touched my cheek.
-What that person was doing to me?-I asked.
-He was checking your condition. -Adrian said.
-Condition for what?-I asked.
-To make a cure.-Adrian said.
-I don't understand. -I said and slowly sat down on the bed.
-To fix the problem here, I need to have an heir who later marries another kingdom prince or princess. Then our kingdoms will combine and we have a lot of people and females who will be able to live here.-Adrian said.
-So you need a wife?-I asked.
-Indeed, and you are going to be my bride.-Adrian said.
-A bride?-I asked, shocked. No way I am going to become a demon's bride!
