KING IN THE NORTH
chapter 10 thinking clear

The mara...

It turned out that the next day became more difficult for us to go through without feeling awkward.

I couldn't go anywhere while my feet were still swelling and throbbing. Even to cleanse yourself I cannot. In his palace I have been used to serving, even to shower and rub my back, but until now I still can not imagine if all of that was done by a man. I did not have a choice but to ignore my embarrassment, although Theo looked beautiful when doing it but I'm sure all the work must be very bad for him.

"Thank you" I said every time and usually Theo just smiled and kissed me for a while.

Theo did everything for me, he really took good care of me these few days. While I don't know if she still remembers the princess she dreamed of when she was with me like this. Over and over again, that thought bothered me. Although it felt very natural when we were together but I still can't just ignore that reality.

I was here for a purpose, which was definitely not to fall in love with a handsome hunter I found in the middle of the forest, especially if he had his own dreams. But we both don't know why we let this stupid thing happen, neither I nor Theo seem to have really thought about it.

almost a week passed, I felt like my condition was much better.

Although it still feels pain but my legs are no longer swollen, I began to be able to get down the cleavage from the bed. I did have to learn to walk alone again so as not to always bother people. I was sitting by the table when I noticed Theo making food for me.

"You awake?" he was surprised to see me.

"Looks like we should talk," I said, like he's pretty sure what I mean.

Theo walked up to me, pulled up the seat in front of me and sat there after peeping my forehead, and he no longer asked permission to kiss me.

This time his pair of unmoved brown Netra looked at me, from across the table his arms stretched out to grab my palm, gently rubbed the back of my hand and kissed him again each time.

"Look, I don't know why I did it, I think you're the same, too" I started talking.

Oho! reflexively I suddenly pulled my hand from his grasp, Theo only looked confused by my sudden reaction, but he did not ask and only chose to lean his back more upright on the back of the chair while still looking at me.

"We can't do this" I said trying to digest reality.

"You're right, but I'm starting to not care about anyone's rules."

" lean your body onto the table.

Theo tried to get my hand back but I refused.

"Didn't you want me for that?" he continued rather disappointedly, "because you always thought I still loved another woman?"

Theo started to shake his head, "you're wrong about that, Mara."

I blinked and Theo was still looking at me in the same position....

I don't know why all of a sudden I feel like it's a question for something else....

Oh my God how far have I known this young man????? ....
