Aurora hesitated in answering the king’s question, she wanted to avoid telling him, she understood the French language. Which maid would possibly know how to read the French language? It might make the king get more suspicious of her.
What if the king asked me where I learned it? The thought filled her mind until Malik snapped her out of her thoughts.
“Why are you keeping quiet?” The king asked, this was the first time she had seen a different expression on Malik’s face, he looked curious.
“No…. Yes,” she stammered.
“Which one is No?, which is Yes?” Malik said, she looked at her face, and looked away. His stare did the magic, Aurora couldn’t resist looking at his faraway handsome look. It has been a long since she was able to look closely into his eyes as Aurora. She didn’t know the reason, but presently, she was not afraid of him, she felt the king wouldn’t hurt her for staring at him.
“Are you with me?” Malik said, snapping her out of her daydreaming, he saw her lustful gaze at him, but he neglected her. He was supposed to yell or rebuke her, but for the moment, he allowed her to feed on his handsomeness. Since she won’t have the opportunity after now.
“Yes, my king,” it brushed out of her lips, she wanted to say no, she just couldn’t lie to him again, she lowered her head, feeling shy because the king caught her lustful gaze.
“Really,” The king said in amusement, getting Aurora curious about the problem.
Did the king just feel excited? Not it can’t be.
“I want you to help with this, you will translate it for me,” The king said.
“Okay,” Aurora sputtered.
The King pointed to the chair in his room, it was the chair the king always sat on whenever she was reading or writing.
Aurora hesitated, she didn’t understand what the king meant, she collected the scroll, and the new one scroll, she will scribble on.
‘No, the king can’t ask me to sit down on his chair’
She shook her head, then bent down, and dropped them on the floor, wanting to plop her buttocks. Likewise, the king’s voice came out, and hung her buttocks in the middle.
“Why are you sitting on the floor?” Malik said, right now, his friendly expression has gone.
“The maid’s noises might disturb me in the maid’s quarters, so I think I should translate…,”
“And who asked you to go to the maid’s quarter?,” The king cuts in
‘M…y…k…i…n…gg,”
“Go and sit down on my chair,” The king said, Aurora looked at him, like wanting to re confirm his word.
“My king is Aurora,” She said.
“Am I blind?”
“Nooo my king,” Aurora said happily, butterflies giggled in her stomach, she jumped on the chair, and closed her eyes, inhaling the Malik scents that lingered round the chair, the scent gave her goosebumps all over her body.
“The scent is alluring just as Alpha Malik” she mumbled, unknown to her, Alpha Malik heard her…
Seeing how she’s displaying on the chair, brought a smile to Alpha Malik’s face, sometimes he wished to know the real Aurora. To him, she had two personalities, sometimes she behaved as a cold person while sometimes she behaved as the most caring and innocent girl in the whole palace.
Aurora opened her eyes, and met Malik’s gaze surveying her whole body, her face broadened.
“My king you smile,”Aurora screamed happily, she has never thought the king will smile in Aurora’s presence, she has always thought, the masked girl is the love capable of seeing the king smile again.
“What are you doing, murderer? You must be thinking highly of yourself because I asked you to sit down… I allowed you five minutes to finish the work” Alpha Malik said, he felt startled when he heard Aurora’s voice, he was lost, recollecting the lovely memories he had with Aurora before she killed his father.
“I’m sorry, your Highness,” She pleaded instantly, and faced the scroll, wanting to start the translation. Pain struck her heart, hearing Malik call her a murderer, she wouldn’t have cared if other people called her a murderer since she’s an assassin, but she wanted Malik to see the good side of her, he didn’t want him to see her monstrous side.
Malik found himself feeling uncomfortable around her, his body was getting hot, after the recollection of their shared memory, he raised and crossed his hands at his back, and walked towards the backyard, he took a final look at Aurora, who was busy scribbling on the scroll.
“There is something odd about her,” he thought, seeing the way Aurora scribbled on the scroll. She held the feather, just the way a royal was taught on how to write, additionally she had a very neat and clean handwriting, adding to the doubt Malik had about her.
“May be she has worked with family royals,”
He shook the impressions off his head, and continued in his walks to the backyard, about closing the door, he took a glimpse of the two buckets, one was filled with water, while another was empty.
Instantly, rage thundered through him, and he turned back his direction, he hated the fact that Aurora lied again.
“Why can’t she say the truth for once? She lied again that she had fetched the water,” He crumbled as he pushed the door open.
Aurora jumped on the chair, hearing the sound the door made, she gawked at the door, wanting to confirm what just happened.
Initially, she didn’t know the king was no longer inside with her.
“Your Highness,” she said in a quiet tone, afraid of the aura the king came in with.
“Why did you lie again? Is there any truthfulness in your words?” The king said in a frightened tone.
Instantly her legs trembled, panting heavily, trying to find the answer to the King’s question.
