Chapter 70: A Difficult Promise
I wasn’t sure about what just happened right now. As the whole court dissembled in disgruntled silence, I remained seated for a moment, my mind still reeling from the event that had just happened. I mean, I was sure I was about to get caught and then Finch came in and started spewing nonsense. And now, somehow, it’s over!
But the worst part? Reagan had stopped it! He had stopped it even when he had every single reason to spill. He hates me most of all and that was enough reason for him to tell everyone my secret since the whole court was now in uproar of trying to find out who the black knight is.
Reagan still decided to shut the whole thing down which bothered me to be honest! I muse as I glance up at the door where he just exited few minutes ago. Well, sitting here and trying to figure out why Reagan had done what he did wasn’t going to work for me, so I might as well go talk to him!
Before I knew it, I was standing up from the chair and my legs were carrying me out of the grand hall. I raced as fast as I could down the hallway trying to go after Reagan. Since, he wasn’t in any of the hallways, I knew where he was.
His bedroom!
I climbed up the stairs going to where I knew Reagan’s bedroom was even though I had never been there before. But I still know where it was and I knew it was off limits to me and yet, I wasn’t going to let that stop me.
Without so much as a knock, I immediately pushed the door open and immediately regretted my actions. Reagan was naked, well half naked. He had his shirt off and looked to be in the middle of unbuttoning his trousers when I had burst right in.
I stood frozen, my hand on the handle of the jaw as my gaze raked up and down his body. I felt my own body become warm and hot all over. Heat crept my neck as I stared at Reagan’s toned chest which seem to move gently under the dim candle knight air. The more I continued to stare at Reagan’s body while his skin radiated brightness, I found myself frozen in that instant unable to do anything or form a coherent thought.
"Are you going to stand there all day or actually shut the door?"
