Chapter 577
I blinked, confused and unsure of what I was hearing.
Then I began to hear grunting along with the moaning.
I told myself it wasn’t my business.
That i should simply turn back and find the way out.
I had already had a terrible encounter entering the late Princess’s bedroom along with having my necklace burn.
I told myself that the last thing I wanted was to get into trouble again.
The moaning of both man and woman went on and I felt myself once again being drawn to a place I didn’t belong in.
Eventually my curiosity got the best of me.
I very carefully took steps back until I was at the originating door.
Now the sounds of passion was much louder.
I frowned and to my surprise, they were familiar voices.
“Yes just like that.”
“Fuck yes.”
“You’re dripping all over.
I knew I had heard those two voices before, but I couldn’t place a finger where.
I gently placed my finger on the door and pushed it hoping it didn’t make noise.
It was open and to my relief, it didn’t creak.
The door opened only a tiny bit but enough for me to see through.
My eyes scanned the room and it seemed to be tiny and old.
It looked like a storage closet.
The moaning got louder and then to my greatest horror, i saw a man with his bare bum open while he aggressively rammed into a woman against the wall.
I couldn’t see either of them because they faced the wall and backed me, but he had dark hair and I couldn’t tell for the woman.
They kept on going at it and I watched in disbelief.
Eventually when I was certain that I had had enough, I started to pull the door back.
But this time, it creaked.
LOUDLY.
They froze.
I myself froze.
And before I could run, they both turned to look at me.
I made eye contact with the King himself and bent over was none other than Princess Cherry.
We all just stood transfixed and unable to either move or say a word.
And then I made the first move.
I fled.
“Hey!” Came the deep male voice. “I order you to get back!”
But I didn’t stop.
I ran and ran.
Refusing to stop even thought it meant I was disobeying the King.
Even though it meant I could be beheaded.
I ran the fastest I had ever run in my entire life without taking a break.
The stairs were like the floor to me as I raced on.
I kept on running until I bumped right into someone.
“Ooof!” I mumbled as I rammed into whoever it was.
I stayed a nasty apology and attempted to run away but firm hands grabbed me still.
I caught a whiff of a familiar scent and was forced to look up.
I already knew who it was.
Xaden.
He looked back down at me.
“Where are you running off to?” He asked. “Who is after you?”
I stuttered confused and unsure of what to say.
“Nothing.” I said quickly.
He looked at me clear disbelief written in his face.
I was right up against him and to my dismay I felt a beard bulge in his lower area.
To my horror, my own body responded in warmth and I hastily withdrew from his grip.
He had a frown on his face and I itched my hair.
His face became a complete white and then he held my face and his hands were all over my hair.
“Good goddess what did you DO JASMINE?!” He demanded. “What did you do to your beautiful red hair?!”
I went instant red.
Had he just called my hair beautiful?
He simply stared at me in disbelief.
“Why the fuck is your hair black? What is this?!” He asked alarmed.
I withdrew from him not appreciating his criticism.
“I wanted a change.” I said unhappily. “I was tired of that me.”
He barely blinked. “But you were perfect.”
Those words felt like a punching bag in my tummy and then guilt began to linger in me.
Guilt and finally anger that I was now second guessing why I ever changed my hair color.
“It’s what I wanted.” I said arrogantly even though I wasn’t sure it was anymore.
He looked at me, shock still written in his eyes.
Seeing that I was still maintaining my ground he said nothing.
“I see.” He nodded.
But he didn’t seem to see anything.
His eyes were filled with disappointment.
I turned away from him in my to see the King coming down the stairs.
I swallowed and the first instinct that came to my mind was to run.
The first time I had seen him and Princess Cherry together, he hadn’t seen me.
Only her.
But now he had.
So he was openly sleeping with the Queen’s sister now.
I wanted to go back and forget what I see.
He had a cool face.
The exact same one that didn’t show any sign of emotion.
Just plain and cold.
I was now very terrified.
I had no idea when I caught Xaden’s arm and held it in tension.
Cherry was nowhere in sight.
“Xaden.” The King said and I quickly bossed my head down in respect. “I hope you’re enjoying your stay.”
“I am.” Xaden replied without adding in the *majesty*
I had come to realize the only royal member Xaden used that for, was the Queen herself.
“My grand daughter’s debut shifting is tonight. I expect to see you before you leave tomorrow.” The King said.
I balked.
Tomorrow?
We were leaving tomorrow when I had found absolutely nothing on my uncle.
“Ceremonies aren’t really my style.” Xaden said.
“I insist” The King said as he now stood on our floor.
I tried to ignore me.
“We shall see.”
I thought maybe for a split second he would say something.
But he simply ignored me and walked away.
Leaving me still clenching Xaden’s arms wondering what I had gotten myself into.
