Haunting Adeline Ch 16

« Mon chéri ! » lâchai-je très fort. Toutes les têtes se tournèrent dans ma direction, et mes yeux s’écarquillèrent comme ceux d’un cerf pris dans les phares. La honte m’engloutit, et j’eus envie de disparaître dans la nature. Daphne se précipita vers moi. Elle m’attrapa le bras et se pencha vers mon oreille. « Pourquoi l’as-tu appelé ton chéri ? » chuchota-t-elle. « Je… je… je le connais, » répondis-je à voix haute. « Tu connais le Roi ? » demanda l’une des filles dans la foule. Je tournai la tête vers le bel inconnu. Je l’observai de plus près et commençai à remarquer des détails que j’avais négligés auparavant. La chaise sur laquelle il était assis — elle semblait petite, mais elle était en or. Ses vêtements somptueux et sa posture — il avait une allure majestueuse. « Il… il est le Roi ? » balbutiai-je à voix basse. « Oui, c’est le Roi, » répondit Daphne. Je tirai Daphne un peu plus près de moi. « Tu veux dire que c’est le Roi des Bêtes ? » « Oui, » répondit-elle. Je me rappelai alors comment l’homme en uniforme s’était adressé à lui plus tôt — « Votre Majesté ». Je me rappelai aussi ses paroles dans la Forêt de la Sorcellerie — les apparences sont trompeuses. C’est fini. Mes jambes devinrent soudainement molles, et je me sentis tomber au sol, aussitôt engloutie par l’abîme des ténèbres.
