Chapter 100: Unstoppable Wonders and Rumors
The hardness of my own bed under me as I sat on it made me yearn a little for a softer bed. Now that I was alone, my mind immediately began churning through many confusing thoughts of what had happened last night starting from the moment that I received orders from Lady Regina to clean the statues in the bathhouse after curfew. Unknowingly, I had started chewing down on my lower lip while I thought of the many mysteries that I still couldn’t find the answer to.
“Stop...Mila...” I warned myself out loud whenever my mind would drift to thoughts of the passionate moments that I shared with Prince Leonard.
There were many things that I didn’t understand but the thing that plagued my mind the most was that voice I heard in my head when I prayed desperately for help.
‘Where are you?’
The voice that accompanied that unbearable pain in my brain, what is it exactly?
At first, I honestly believed that it was just my imagination but the more that I thought about it, the less certain I was that it was just something purely in my mind. I really heard that voice and I didn’t hear it only once. That voice spoke to me twice. It asked me a question and I answered.
A shiver ran up my spine as my body shuddered just at the thought. It felt extremely spooky. At that time in the bath, I was so scared of Prince Florian that I didn’t realize it until Prince Leonard turned up spectacularly through the glass ceiling. That voice that spoke to me sounded a lot like Prince Leonard’s voice.
But he wasn’t there...so how?
My head snapped around to look at my bedroom door as if expecting the prince to suddenly make his entrance through the doorway. Of course, there was no one there and I let out a sigh of relief while closing my eyes for a brief moment. Soon after the conversation that I had with that voice inside my head, Prince Leonard came to rescue me.
It could have been just a coincidence, but I just couldn’t help but wonder if the two events were indeed connected in some way. It was then that I made up my mind that the next time that I got the chance, I would ask Prince Leonard about it. He might think that I’ve gone crazy but that would probably be the extent of the damage.
Maybe I was just thinking too much of him even in that desperate moment?
