Chapter 11.
It’s mid afternoon, when Prince Seth asked Tanek to see him in his workroom. Seth need to know about Tanek’s intention related with his previous acts. Seth want to get that done before he interrogated Violet’s people, and he’s going to remind Tanek too for not provoking any hostile behaviour in the interrogation.
Seth’s intended to anticipate the possibilities that can make the interrogation goes wrong, and would leads to torturing or hurting Violet in the process.
“Do you know something that I don’t..Tanek?”, he said when Tanek appeared.
“I’m afraid I don’t know what are you referring to, Sire..” he bowed.
“You just intentionally brought her to my room, when I clearly said I don’t need her help.. I do recall you were telling me that I shouldn’t have feelings for her, yet your acts told me otherwise. Is this have something to do with her fittest form?”
“.. The thing is, Sire.. I happened to know how to reach her fittest form.. ways for her to grow her wings back.”
“How?”
“.. She must fall in love, Sire..”
Seth is scoffing. “That’s ridiculous.” Seth knows where this conversation is leading to. “Is these information even credible?”
“I can assure you the information is accurate, Sire.”
“How can you know about this..?” he asked while his mind wandered to all alternatives related with her being in love. What now, before kill her I have to manipulate her emotions too..? Seduce her to fall in love with him? or let her closer to his male fairy to know is he the one for her?—HELL NO! Not gonna let that happened!
Tanek hesitated for a second before answer, “I have my own resources, Sire.. the same way I knew the fairy princess was going to be at the woods that day..”
“Your source is the outcast fairy?” Seth said in doubtful. Tanek’s nodded. Seth’s never meet this outcast fairy, but based on previous tip from that fairy, he/she seems to give a legitimate information.
He ruffled his hair feeling tensed with his mind. How can this outcast fairy knows so much? considering he/she’s an outcast, there must be someone’s inside—something wrong inside Athopia too. Wait, he worried about her kingdom now?
“I’m going to interrogate the prisoned fairies first, now..-- Alone.” , said Seth with settled tone.
“.. but as your advisor, Sire, I th—”
“I will give you the update after.” Seth cut in, decided to do the interrogation without Tanek’s presence.
“As you wish, Sire..” Tanek bowed.
“Bring me the Princess, and order the guard to bring the captain fairy too!”
Tanek bowed and teleported soon after, bring Violet to Seth’s workroom straight away.
When Violet appeared in the room, they’re looking at each other instantly. Seth is not wearing his crown make her attention goes directly on his spiky hair, and then to the way his body leaning by the table with his sword beside him. What a perfect view—wait I should focusing on important things—like why does he put his weapon beside him? Tried to intimidate or being cautious? Intend to attack Navy, or her..?
His sword looked heavy, its handle has gold thread, red sapphire-rock in the middle of its cross-guard, and its quillon just perfecting its looks even more.
“He’s gonna be here in a minute.” He said still leaning on the table, folding hands. “You need to come closer.” He ordered her.
Closer where—Closer to him? Violet heading toward him without knowing why she should obey him, but she did it anyway. Of course she kept maintaining her distance by not standing too close to him.
In no time, Navy appeared on his knees, being transported by two guards who leaves the room straight away. Navy are tied in a big-heavy chain, he’s got nothing on his mouth but his mouth closed tight as if something from inside, prevented him to speak.
“Navy!”. Violet turned her back, taking a step to Navy when—Seth pulled her from behind, with his right hand.
Seth’s right palm is on her flat belly, pulling Violet toward him. It’s her back against his body. Violet hesitated, whether to let him hold her like that or pulling away. She then decided to let him, so she doesn’t have to make a scene. Or maybe she just love the way he hold her..Does he like me..? Want me..?
“You speak..from here.” Seth said in her earlobe, his lips is intensely close makes Violet gasped and turned her face -halfway- at him in reflex. Because of her sudden movement, the tip of Seth’s nose gently swept Violet’s cheek.
Violet looked at his eyes for a while before looked down, a part of her is feeling gloomy. Knowing the reason he hold her is out of attraction. I guess he just don’t trust me that much.
Seth’s jaw is clenched for feeling too much sensation from holding her, but at the same time enjoying his own moment of possession. There’s no way I’m gonna let you near him or let him touch you. Seth’s hand is still on her belly, his left hand swinging, releasing Navy’s freedom to speak followed by grabbing his sword at once.
“Stay away from her you low acts prince!! I know what you’re about to do! You’re not getting anything from me.” Navy burst out after able to speak, he looked furious.
“You sure about that?” Seth’s pointing his sword with his head, emphasized the fact that Violet is under his power, even though he’s actually bluffing.
Before things get out of controls, Violet decided to cut in.
“Navy.. please.. I need to know..”
Even the way she said his name bothered me. Seth noticed but also aware that he is too needs all the information he can get.
“We’re all in difficult situation Navy, we have to do something.. I.. really need to know - …. --everything!” said Violet in tensed voice, desperate by her lack of knowing.
The room got quiet for a while, before Navy finally gave up. “What do you want to know..?”
