KING IN THE NORTH
chapter 36 The Stranger

It was the second night when Olive woke up in the middle of the night feeling anxious. The rain was so heavy outside the lightning and lightning struck but Olive was sure it was not that that made her wake up earlier. Just like the night before when Olive woke up feeling no less strange because at first glance it was like someone was sitting at the end of his bed. Olive had gotten up to check all parts of her room, but there was no one except for the window of her room that was wide open bar, probably because of the storm. The window of his room was too high to climb from the outside it was impossible for someone to enter or exit from there, the only way was the door that was still closed, and usually the waiters will knock first if they want to enter.

It seemed that outside there was a storm going on along with the heavy rain of lightning, Olive did not find any lighting to illuminate her room, the candles stuck on the wall happened to be all out, too, maybe it was the wind from the open window of his room. Olive was intending to get up to close the window when suddenly lightning struck, the light had illuminated the corners of his room even though only in a few seconds but how surprised Olive saay to realize the existence of a dark figure who stood not far from his bed.

His body stiffened instantly realizing he was not alone in the room. In perfect darkness Olive was sure that even if she screamed no one would hear her, the roar of a thunderstorm would drown her screams.

Olive was already planning to run towards the door when the big arm caught her first, prompting Olive's limping body to fall back on the bed.

Olive could not see him, as it was too dark for her eyes that had yet to adapt.

Olive believes whoever it is she's on top of it, pushing her body up on the bed, though it doesn't hurt Olive to realize her position is very vulnerable as a woman. Olive felt a finger touch her lips gently, giving her a cue to be still. Olive was really scared, her chest was pounding fast but her stomach was hot and sailing when she felt something hard pressing on her body, because no matter who she was, she must be a man. Olive was confused because it seemed like that person was not looking to hurt her.

In the morning Olive just felt like a person who lost orientation, because she woke up feeling unusually strange.

Olive began to think that maybe last night she was just dreaming, even though maybe the dream felt so real though.

The sound of her bedroom door on the tap of a waiter who used to come to her every morning, Olive let her in.

It seemed that the maid was surprised to see Olive who was still on the bed.

"Princess Aurora is waiting for you to have tea in the garden."

Olive herself was surprised how she could possibly wake up this afternoon.

Olive immediately got up to take a shower, she had time to feel some parts of her body because she was still unsure of what she was doing last night, I don't know she really had never experienced a dream that felt so real.

Olive tries to complete her morning ritual as quickly as possible because she does not want Princess Aurora to wait too long.

"Look you look pale, didn't you sleep last night? "

Welcome Mara to judge the new Olive sitting in front of her.

"Overnight's storm was enough to disturb my sleep," it must have been ridiculous to tell princess Aurora the truth.

And all day long it felt like Olive still could not think sane, every time she recalled her dream last night, and in her mind the other Olive began to think what if it turned out that it was not a dream, but a dream, but it felt impossible because Olive found herself alone just this morning.

That afternoon when Olive returned to her room, she repeatedly checked her entire room, and she was sure that nothing was strange. Feeling stupid, Olive can only end her suspicions, but she doesn't forget to make sure all the doors and windows are locked from the inside tonight.

Olive was calm enough to be in her room, tonight the rain did not fall even though the wind was still blowing quite hard. However Olive was still reluctant to close her eyes, she always made sure every candle in her room to keep it burning. Just then Olive realized, every night the waiters never forgot to change all the new candles and this morning Olive remembered everything in the same size when she was clean, as if the candle was indeed dead at the same time, it felt impossible if the wind did it unless someone deliberately turned it off.

That thought only made his fear more real, but if the incident was not a dream?????...

Olive was jumped by the sound of her room window suddenly opening, while she was sure to lock it properly. Some candles began to die although not entirely, his room only looks dim although not to the pitch.

Olive tried to hold her heartbeat hunting fast.

"Relax, I don't want to scare you... "

it seemed like Olive recognized the heavy voice.

Olive felt the wall behind her trying to find something for her to hold on to because suddenly her knees felt limp when she should be able to run and scream because maybe someone would hear her.

The fission of the tall and dark figure appeared from near the newly opened window, its dark robe fluttering in the wind from outside. Olive still could not recognize him because whoever he was wearing a headscarf, and as tall as almost three feet above Olive, Olive inched even more to the wall as the large, dark figure walked up to her.

"Please don't come any closer," suddenly Olive made a sound and the cloaked man stopped a few steps in front of her, his eyes as if glistening in the darkness, still staring at her from the shadow of the hood of her gloomy robe.

"Don't be afraid of me,"

The man opened his head.

Screaming Olive, although there was no sound coming out from her start, Olive really still could not believe King Alzov standing in front of her, in her room.

"I just want to see you."

It took a while until Olive dared to open her mouth...

"Did Your Majesty come over last night? "

King Alzov just smiled.

Olive still did not have the courage to digest.

"You're growing so fast."

"You're disgusting!!! " creepy Olive remembered the indecent deeds they had both done last night, and somehow King Alzov had visited her secretly all this time.

"I just want to make sure you're okay."

"Really you didn't just look at me," Olive regained her guard.

Of course Olive still clearly remembers what was in nature last night, it felt impossible even in perfect darkness she still could not resist every touch of the man.

"You're really testing the limits of my self-control."

" and you deliberately played me! " Olive almost screamed hysterically.

"Because you still didn't listen to me and dared to run away from me."

"I remember who abandoned me."

"I'm not gonna hurt you."

"You just did it, My Lord."

Olive still remembers how she woke up alone this morning feeling disappointed that somehow can be so hard to explain.

"Come with me" he persuaded as he walked back to Olive.

"No!" push Olive, even if she knows

King Alzov is not considering his opinion, because he can do whatever he wants.

"I'm not going to force you" King Alzov suddenly stopped, "but you can think of him."

Olive is shocked and distrustful that King Alzov really gave her a choice...

"Don't try to come to me again !"

Decisive Olive before King Alzov really left.

And Olive wondered how she could leave so quickly, that Olive ran to the window just to make sure.

He's already gone.... Olive's brain was empty.

Olive's mind is full of questions, how is it possible, Olive's room is located in a high part of the tower and it is impossible for humans to climb up to here unless he can indeed fly.

Oh.... Olive did not dare to think any further....
