Chapter 139
DREAM OF ME
KHAL’S POV
I was at my tent, treating my own wounds. We were prohibited from seeking help for others. According to Seo Blood Drop, we were not always having a companion in a battle. Most of the time, we will heal our own bruises. We should learn how to do that.
I blew a sigh while I was looking at the small wooden mirror. My face was destroyed, but at least my life was still compact. I almost died there, if only I did not remember how the actors in the movie executed the antagonists. There were scenes like that in my role as a leading man. It was unbelievable that I used those tricks from the scripts and action tags of my character in the movie.
I chuckled a little as I placed herbs on my forehead, cheek, and lips. I saw this at one of the events on my TV show. It was ridiculous, it happened real to me. If my manager was here, he would scold me for not securing my features. In the showbiz industry, looks were one of the most important.
I was alert when I felt someone entering my tent. I was relieved when I viewed Matilda. I did not know what her intention was. Her actions seemed weird to me. I was a public figure and encountering someone admiring me was not new to me. She was playful enough to kiss me in the forest yesterday without my permission. However, it did not matter to me. I kissed many lips due to my characters in one of my shows.
“A woman is ruled not to invade a man’s tent.” I talked while my eyes were on the mirror, gazing at my slashed face.
“What method do you want in healing?” She walked towards me with her hips swaying. She looked like a princess. I was not sure of her identity. I did not ask my sister, she would just misinterpret it.
“No worries. I can heal myself.” I winced when a stinging sensation felt in the area of my lips.
“I suggest you feel another sensation to forget the pain.” She stood right in front of me.
My forehead formed a furrow. I could not understand what she was saying. Well, I was not a man who would ignore a woman, therefore, even though she was disturbing my silence, I managed to talk to her.
“You wanna?” Her seductive voice could be heard.
“You mean?” I moved down the mirror and rested my eyes on her. I would admit that she was one of the most gorgeous women I had seen. In the Human World, they wore make-up to make them beautiful, but this woman did not need lipsticks or what, she was naturally attractive.
She flipped her white curly hair. I was in shock when she sat on my lap.
“Are you out of your mind?” I just backed away to where I was sitting, although there was no distance between our bodies.
“Nope.” She caressed my cheek. I just looked away. I do like her, but not romantically.
How can I say that without hurting her feelings? I did not want her to cry. No woman deserves to be hurt because of a man like me.
She touched the edge of my nose, the gentleness could be felt as she managed not to hurt me. “All my life… I’m scared.” She became emotional when her stare settled on me. “I’m so scared of men like King Water.”
She got my interest when I heard Hali. I became curious why. I found myself craving more details about her.
“He’s so ruthless when I met him. He’s heartless and brutal to a poor woman like me. Only to find out… he cares, he just shows it in the way he knows.” Her lips touched my forehead which I had no idea what was that for?
“I craved for love, affection, and admiration.” Her fingers traced my Adam’s apple down to my chest.
Does she seduce me? Flirting with me? If she was, I am tempted.
“I thought I would never see the stars again… the stars that make me smile in my hopeless life, but when I saw you…” A tiny smile curved on her lips. “My dead feelings turn to live. You may not look at me the same way…” She paused and brushed my hair carefully. “It doesn’t matter. As long as I have this spark in my heart for you.”
She likes me? Is she serious? Or is she just playing around? She has known me for approximately a week.
I moved my lips apart, wanting to say a word, but I caught myself silent. If I spelled out a line, it would just pain her.
How can I tell her that I am in the midst of getting over someone who has now married?
She removed her body from my lap. She smiled beautifully when she held the herbs. “No pressure. I just told you.”
I had a sigh of relief when her emotion decreased. She came back to her jolly mode. She taught me how to put herbs in the right way, so their nutrients and healing effect would be increased. It was not boring to talk with her.
“So you are a princess?” I moved my eyebrows up.
“Supposedly. If I were not a bastard. Hali helped me to get my right to a title, but the trial court proved to me that I was a bastard.” She shrugged her shoulders. “It doesn’t matter. I hate being a princess. They will just force you to marry a stranger for the combining of power.”
I nodded my head. “Perhaps, my sister will marry Colden.”
“Colden? King Ice?” She was shocked. “I’m not aware, but how?”
“They look at it as a reward. I do have not much knowledge about your world. That’s all I know.”
“Does… King Water know about this?” She placed a cup of tea on my table. That came from the herbs for fast healing.
“Yes, he was there when the announcement was made. However, there’s an issue before finally acknowledging Zarya to be Colden’s wife.”
“Did King Water do something? Did he punch him? Be mad or what?”
“Nothing. As I remembered. He just walked out.” My eyes turned small when she was acting so weird. She seemed to care for his feeling so much.
“Is there anything wrong?”
She shook her head from left to right. “Nothing. Just wondering.”
“Wondering about?”
She stared at my face for a second. “I take my leave. I’m not allowed here.” She gave me a huge smile on her lips before she turned around.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
I just observed her going out. She looked back at me once more before she finally left me.
She is interesting. Maybe I will open again my heart. Perhaps, she is the person for me.
I was about to organize my things when she came back. She peeped her head from the tent and sweetly said. “I forget to say… Good night.”
I chuckled as I responded. “Good night.”
She waved her hand and winked. “Dream of me.”
