A figure in the dark
Although Jeanne’s mood was not affected by Xena’s speech, the word lingered in her mind. For the past three years, she hasn’t been in any relationship, sometimes she wished she were among the king’s concubines.
Although the king doesn’t touch his concubines still she prefers him than the isolation from man for the rest of her life, at least she would know she has a husband.
Occasionally she wondered if the romantic novel she had been reading had made any impact on her relationship life, she knows different ways to make a man stay committed or love you, but still, men used to leave her.
Moving closer to the king’s chamber, her gaze fell on Evans, he was stretching his hands, he was a tall and huge man, and his uniform was long trousers short with his shirt, making his six-pack revealed as he stretched his hands, Jeanne’s mouth patted in awe at the sight that greeted her.
It was late, his eyes were gradually closing and he yawned slightly. His lips looked a bit exhausted still it were beautiful and tempting. As Jeanne stared at them longingly, she folded her lower lips in her mouth and released a moan absentmindedly, notifying Evans of her presence.
Initially, she wanted to hide her presence away from him, but with the shock on her face, she strode towards him.
Evans dropped his hands, seeing Jeanne fix Jeanne’s on him, it made him uncomfortable, the ahem and let out.
“Good evening, ma, what can I do for you?” Jeanne’s consciousness was on Evans, her gaze was enough to eat him up at the spot, she was licking her lips as she stood before him, her gaze scanning him from the head to the toe, his fixed eyes on her, making her senses come back because Evans had a motionless expression.
“Hmmm,” she cleared her throat.
“Evans you look handsome this evening,” Jeanne said, she is a blunt person, she doesn’t tie words under her tongue, she walked stylishly – closing the gap between them, suddenly her hands rested on Evans’s shoulder, and she pulled him closer, his breathing can be heard as Jeanne’s eyes pierced into him, making him feel uneasiness.
“What are you doing?” He said and pulled himself away from her encircled.
”What did you think it means? You saw me staring at you and I embraced you, what did you think it meant?” Jeanne asked.
“I don’t know what it means, and if you do say it out,”
“I won’t, I will come back tomorrow to collect the answer…Also is the king inside,” Jeanne lunged her mouth and whispered into his ear.
“Is the king inside?” she asked repeatedly although Evans did as if he didn’t hear her.
Evans furrowed his brow and looked at her, he wondered why she was asking, did she come here to seduce the king? He knows how the concubines used to come here, begging him to let them in.
He clenched his fist and replied to her, he was maddening knowing she must have come here to seduce the king likewise.
“Why are you asking?” He replied in an annoyed tone
“I just care to know… Did you have any issue with it,” Jeanne asked him, she had a tongue-lashed, even though she played excessively?
“The king is resting, and I will appreciate it if you go back to your chamber, the king is sensitive to talk,” Evans said in a slurred tone.
“Okay I will go, I just came here to check on my boo,” Jeanne stretched the boo, he took three steps away from him, walking away, but suddenly, she halted, and she looked over her shoulder saying, “Evans,” she called and blew him kisses using her mouth.
His mouth gasped, Evans’s cheeks reddened, his expression lightened up, and the kisses softened his heart.
“Why are you happy?” His subconscious popped out.
He ignored the question, although he was happy Jeanne found him attractive, still he didn’t want to believe he was happy because of that noisy Jeanne.
It was not long after Jeanne left that the king came out from his chamber, wearing a simple dress, yet he was damn handsome, it looked as if he dressed himself up to impress someone with his charm.
Evans lowered his head and paid his obeisance to the king, he wondered if the king dressed this way because of Aurora.
A mischievous smile was expressed on his lip because the king wanted to impress his father’s killer.
“No one Is above mistakes,” his thought was as sensitive and smart as the kings. He never thought it would take this long before the king would discover the fake masked girl, which he still hasn’t.
“Go and rest in your chamber, there is no need to wait for me to come back, no one will come to my chamber tonight” The king repeated twice before Evans heard the king.
His eyes widened, and he shivered after it dawned on him the king repeated the word.
“My king,” he stretched the sentence, he was a bit startled.
“You seem lost,” The king uttered and walked away without a rebuke. Evans smiles once again, knowing the king is in a good mood.
“I hope he continues this way,” Evans giggled happily and walked away.
A figure hiding in the dark came out as soon as Evans left, “Where is the king going late at night,” the figure said and trailed after the king, wanting to know where he was going.
