Alessia's POVNatalia's eyes were SHARP as she checked her room with the help of her assistants. I just stood there quietly, and even though I was tired, I didn't think about it anymore. Even though it's easy to clean, that doesn't mean it's not tiring. It's almost drained my energy because of those mountains of clothes I washed today. It's just luck that my hand didn't fall apart from the mess earlier.Based on Natalia's reaction, she is not happy with what she sees. I think he expected me not to finish what he was asking me to do so he would have a reason to punish me. But what right does he have to punish me? I may be abiding by her whims but I am not one of her people. As far as I remember, he had no right to punish me especially since I was not under his jurisdiction. But that doesn't mean he can't do anything to me. She can always use underhanded tricks just to attack me."It's clean." He commented while holding a goblet filled with bright red wine. "Oops, not again." She smiled
Alessia's POVI was nervous about following Elijah. Even though I know that I have done nothing wrong, I can't help but be nervous. He likely saw Favian hugging me.He also told me before that I stay away from Favian but he saw us in that scene. I didn't expect Favian to hug me. To my surprise, I didn't push it right away, also out of pity.If I explain I will appear defensive. If I don't explain, the misunderstanding between Elijah and me will only get worse. I felt like someone was pointing at a sword that was both sharp on both sides. Everywhere I go something happens.Alessia, think! What should you do?! You have to coax him before he will erupt from anger! My brain screamed because I could feel the danger.What can I do? Shall I caress him? Should I? Should I pretend as if nothing happened and pretend as a sweet girlfriend? But how do I do that? I'm not that good at cuddling.So while we were walking and I was following Elijah, I was thinking about all the shows I've seen that I
Alessia's POVSushi is now standing in front of me and staring at me. I didn't notice it for a few days because I was always asleep. Maybe it's because of the weather because usually, winter is when big animals sleep. I don't bother Sushi anymore because he doesn't seem to care about his surroundings either.I can't even see Sudanni. All I know is that it stays in the room and doesn't come out because it doesn't want to interact with others. These creatures have social issues, that's what I notice."Sushi?" I was angry with him because he didn't seem to have any intention of talking. As far as I know, every time it changes form there are two reasons. There is danger or it wants to say something. I don't know if there was any danger that's why he changed his form.My own mistress, pardon me for being unattended f'r the past few days. F'r I am in hib'rnation and adjustment f'r the climate changeth.I understood that because if Sushi lived only there in Valeria, there is a high possibili
Alessia's POVI went to bed EARLY because Elijah was going to study more about going to Venossa. He just decided that he would do it because he had a lot of things to consider. He needs an effective plan especially and this mission is not easy.All I know about his plan is that he will look for a Navigator who will go to the destination of Scylla. I have faith in Elijah that he will come up with a good plan. So somehow I fell asleep. I don't know what time Elijah went to sleep, or if he did at all because when I woke up he was still on the table busy writing on paper.I looked next to me. It was a little messy, it was a sign that Elijah did sleep but it seemed like it was only for a moment and he woke up early to continue what he was doing."Morning..." I greeted him and yawned.Elijah quickly stood up and came to me and kissed me lightly on my lips before whispering."Morning, beautiful." He greeted me so warmly that I couldn't help but be grateful.He separated from me so I looked a
Alessia's POV"This is the winter horse, it's taller than the regular stallion but their breed cannot survive any other season but winter," Elijah explained while we were in the stable now and I was facing an elegant winter horse.I stared at it in amazement. Its eyes are blue and its skin seems to be made of pale snow blue. The hair on her head and tail look like they are made of glass because they are translucent."Can I touch him?" I asked Elijah for permission. I need that because I don't know if it can be done especially since this is not a normal horse. Elijah nodded in response to my request.I smiled so I slowly reached out and placed my hand on his forehead. I couldn't feel him on my skin because I was wearing gloves. I wonder if its body is also cold or just like a normal horse.I heard the horse neigh but it didn't move. My hand didn't last long on his forehead and I took it back. It's useless because I can't feel it. I don't want to take off my gloves because the stable is
Alessia's POVWe are BACK at the palace and we spent the rest of the time doing something, like eating a snack at three o'clock in the afternoon or yesterday's lunch. We also managed to take a nap but it wasn't long because we also woke up after an hour. The number of times we eat together can only be counted on our hands. It's only now because we only have one room.Time passed quickly and it was dusk. I immediately took a shower because Elijah was already packing the things he had to take to Venossa. He will only bring a few pieces of equipment, important things that he can use there.I took a quick shower and finished immediately. After I got ready, I went to Elijah to help him organize his things. He brought a couple of clothes with him. There were also compasses so I also took something from my equipment that I knew they would need. It doesn't get much use, but I don't miss carrying a few pieces.I was holding a black pouch containing golden seeds and I approached Elijah and hand
Alessia's POV"Lady Alessia, you need to take medicine." Said a voice when I woke up and felt its presence.I groaned because I woke up from a dream that seemed to swallow me with poisonous water, it went round and round and now I have a headache even when I wake up.Did I get sick But suddenly it entered my mind that Elijah was leaving so I forced my eyes open and was about to get up but I couldn't. My body is too weak. My body hurts, especially the lower part that I feel like it will explode with pain.I saw Estrebelle, she was spinning a little in my sight. His face was worried. I was still dizzy so I closed and opened my eyes several times but still, nothing changed."Lady Alessia, don't get up. You need to rest." He promised me worriedly as he brought medicine that he wanted me to drink."W-the h-king?" I asked bluntly because even my mouth seemed tired. I don't know why I got sick. But based on what I feel, it looks like I have an infection so I have a fever. I can't think of an
Alessia's POV"Estrebelle, let Stefano in," I ordered him when he returned with the books I asked for. It has about five books and I don't know if I can finish all of them especially if something bad is going to happen."Next, Lady Alessia." He responded and left the room again to let Stefano in. Estrebelle did not comply and remained standing outside.Stefano came in and now he was heading towards me while I was sitting and looking at the book on the table."Is there a problem?" Stefano asked me when he got closer. I looked up and looked at him seriously. "Don't say that you miss Elijah and want to follow him to Venossa. Ales, I love you but I love my life more." He promised with raised eyebrows. He said naturally but I was not bothered by the term of his love because I know it is just love between friends.I feel like I want to hit it with a hammer because of its meaningless prediction. Even though I was worried about Elijah, I didn't think to follow them. I will only increase the p
