Chapter 33: Staying A Little Longer
Lilac
My eyes bulged out as those words floated around me. I thought I hadn’t heard right at first, and so I kept blinking at him.
"Huh?" I finally whispered while my heart pounded away.
My cheeks grew hot when he kept staring at me without saying anything. His golden eyes looked more like silver right now, but still intense. I swallowed emptily as memories of last night briefly rushed to the front of my mind.
Vivid images of him between my legs...
"You’ll stay here till you get better." The prince’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I stiffened again, panic starting to shrug through me this time.
"But... I think I’ll be punished because that way, I’ll miss my duties." I whispered, which was the truth. I was still panicking over the fact that I didn’t return back to the slave quarters last night when all slaves were supposed to report back after each duty. But I clearly hadn’t done that yesterday because I had been passed out here in the prince’s room, and I was certain I was gonna be punished for that.
The prince didn’t react, he only looked me over in a way that made a shiver roll down my spine. I swallowed emptily as I shifted around awkwardly in the bed I was sitting in.
In the next moment, he was letting out a hum before speaking. "Are you refusing an order of mine?"
My eyes widened and I frantically shook my head as my heartbeat accelerated even more. What was I thinking by trying to refuse the Prince?
Was I looking for a quick means to get killed.
"No, your highness." I whispered and he hummed again.
