Chapter 97 THE DECENT PRINCESS

FIRA'S POV

We laughed the whole night. I was telling him the story of how we met, how we became like this. Everything about us. Until he decided to get up, went to the piano and played it.

There was an incomparable spark in his eyes. The true gladness.

"What’s your favorite song?” Pyro was sitting at the front of the piano, trying to hit the piano. He was listening to the differences of this.

I ran and sat beside him. “I don’t know about music. You can play whatever you want...playing with your heart.”

He gave me a big smile. He grabbed my hand and kissed it.

“You? What’s your favorite song?”

“Nothing. Every minute, our taste in music can change. But I have a favorite noise.” His smile became a smirk.

“What’s that?”

“Your mouth’s noise.” He chuckled adorably.

In the middle of him playing the piano, we heard a loud sound of knocking on the door. Pyro did not want to respond or open it.

“Maybe that's an emergency?”

“It’s Colden.” He did not look at me, his eyes were on the keys.

I was curious why Colden would be here in the middle of the night. He was the king that was always in his room. He would not come if it was not important.

“I will open the door.” I waited for him to nod and when he did, I immediately walked towards the door.

From the moment the door burst open, Colden entered the room. “Pyro.” His voice was just low. The softness from every action he did was obvious. He stood up beside Pyro, looking at him and the piano. “Good for you, you come back playing.”

“What do you need?” Pyro never looked at him, his eyes were down to the keys.

“Fira needs to go out.”

Me and Pyro stared at him in shock. I observed the expression in King Colden’s eyes, it was just normal and casual. Not threatening, but his words said there was an incoming disaster.

“What are you saying? Fira will stay here the whole night.” Pyro seemed uneasy.

“She needs to go out because the Princess will arrive here any minute from now. The guards are scattering around. King Arealdo gets Seryo for some task and no one can protect you here.” That was the time that the frustration was written on King Ice’s face.

“I don’t want Fira to—”

“Don’t be stubborn.” King Ice walked faster towards me and then grabbed my hand. He pulled me away to Pyro. “If you are not careful, Fira’s life would be short.” Those were his last words to Pyro before leaving the room.

“Walk behind me. Don’t look at me straight at the back, Pretend that I order you to follow me.” King Ice’s voice was thick and full of authority.

The fear started to stay in my chest. He would not be like this if there was nothing to worry about. King Ice was always silent even in the dark and hysterical situation.

We walked the whole way. I did not see Seryo, like what he did, maybe he was at King Arealdo’s Chamber. There were so many guards scattering, especially on the wayo going to King Fire’s Chamber.

Suddenly, my feet stuck on the ground when the Princess was coming our way. She was not having any emotion on her face, but her eyes were on me. She bowed at Colden. “Your majesty.”

Colden bowed at him, too, next was me. “Nice to see you, Princess Ziraya. I hope your stay in our kingdom is fun.”

Princess Ziraya chuckled as if there was something funny at what Colden said.

“Yes...I will enjoy tonight.” She emphasized the word ‘tonight’ as if there was a hidden message to that.

Is she going to sleep with Pyro?

By that thought, it made my heart deal with pain. I could feel the choking of it. She should not be in there, but if that was a higher king comman, Pyro had no choice even if I did not want him to sleep with another woman.

Is this the thing that Hali was saying to me? Watching the love of my life make love to another woman?

My heart would be broken at y ppossible torture that it would cause. I was just hoping and trusting that Pyro would not make any move.

Because he loves me, right? He is not a man with many women. Or he is not a man who can give himself to any girl who seduces him.

He is a man with only one mate.

And that is me. No royal, no Princess, no one can make any difference.

“What do you think, Servant?”

My senses got back to reality when I heard the voice of Princess Ziraya.

“Yes, your majesty?” I could not even look at her eyes. I was mad that she was a royal and I was just nothing. Not important. Not treasurable. If Pyro did not come into my life, even if I die now, no one will remember me.

“How does it feel to touch the thing that’s not...yours?” Her voice was just normal, but I knew what was behind that question: the madness. The incomparable madness to me.

“Pardon, your majesty?” I looked at her. I tried not to giggle because she was so beautiful. Her angelic face was making her perfect even at any angle.

What if Pyro falls in love with her? How about me?

“Where did you come from?” She gazed at my face as if she was hypnotizing me to tell the truth.

I opened my mouth and was about to answer when King Ice interrupted. “She came from King Wind’s Chamber, cleaned his room and now I am bringing her to my room to clean mine, too.” King Ice’s voice was bored as if he wanted us to get out in this kind of situation.

Princess Ziraya moved closer to me, observing my face for so long. I was startled, my body trembled when she grabbed the first button of my uniform. “The button of your uniform is loose. Did you warm the bed of King Wind, too? Servant?”

Colden walked in front of me, blocking the Princess to see me. “Yes. Is that a problem? Servant is just nothing to royalty. They are trash, garbage. So why do you care if she warms the bed of King Wind?” Colden went to his ear. “Are you jealous? If that is so...go to King Zephyrus room now and seduce him, too.”

The Princess giggled in anger. She looked at King Ice's face. He had an innocent look even in the middle of teasing Princess Ziraya.

Princess Ziraya clenched her jaw, glaring at me. “A wh*re. How dare you sleep with not one, but different kings!”

“Oh, I forgot.” The grin formed on Colden’s lips. “She will go to my bed, too. Would you like to join?”

The Princess did not carry all the information. She turned her back and marched away from us.

I should be mad at Colden for making me wh*re in the eyes of the Princess, but I could not feel that way. If the Princess knew that I was that kind of girl, she would not look at me with rivalry with KIng Fire. I would be away from her anger, but I was not that sure if that would be her thinking. She was smart after all. She could think that Colden was just playing her.

“Princess Ziraya grew up in the Brave Wolves Kingdom. No s*x slavery, the virgins are everywhere, except those who are married. She doesn’t want a girl like that. Apology, Fira.” King Ice said that with his side view facing me. After that, he walked again and I followed.

“I understand. Thank you, King Ice.”

“Colden. That’s my name.”
