THIRD PERSON POV
Porsha made her way to dinning hall along side empress Helen, and Anne. Her heart racing with unspoken fear as she strided into the large lavish hall with a luxury mat at the center and all sort of variety of meals.
The sight felt strange to Porsha because where she came from they usually had their meals on a well furnished table. The mat was surrounded with a handful of maids and Leviathan's adopted mother, queen mother Matilda.
On one end of the mat sat Leviathan with a frown on his face. His right fist now covered with a bandage was placed on his thigh.
He seemed to be immersed in deep thought untill empress Helen spoke, “We are all here now, can we begin the meal”
She voiced and Leviathan's attention was immediately directed towards them.
His eyes widened in amusement the moment they fell on Porsha, indeed he was angry with her but that didn't diminish the fact that he still desired her, and found her quite beautiful.
Porsha might not have liked his attention on her but she always seemed to look her best on all occasions, probably because she was quite the fashion guru, even without a crown she always managed to shine among her peers.
Today she wore a long green body hugging corset dress with see through lace fabric on her sleeves, hood and from her knees down to her foot.
Porsha on the other hand didn't find anything amusing about Leviathan, he was a demon that every woman prayed to never have as a husband.
Empress Helen made her way to the mat, taking a seat next to queen mother Matilda. She then gestured for Porsha to take a seat next to Leviathan. At first Porsha resisted, her feet refusing to move forward but with strong will and determination she piloted herself towards Leviathan, taking a seat next to him.
“Lets pray” Empress Helen commanded and the rest obliged.
“Almighty thank you for this meal, we pray that you continue to sanctify it.... in Jesus's mighty name we have prayed, Amen” She concluded and everyone opened their eyes, but unfortunately the moment Porsha opened her eyes, she was met with Leviathan's crimson owns.
Porsha immediately turned away, her heart nearly leaping out from the feeling of dread. Leviathan chuckled and decided to begin the feast.
He decided on going for a favorite of his, deer stake which was plated infront of Porsha.
He tried grabbing a slice with his injured hand, but Porsha assumed he was trying to touch her once more, so she immediately jolted away, not too much but just enough for Leviathan to notice the disgust she felt.
Leviathan smiled slightly, it was obvious that she wanted nothing to do with him, but he wasn't going to let her have her way, at least not this time.
He turned to the plated stake, trying to grab a slice with his injured hand but the slice kept on falling off, he tried and tried but it was like the beef refuse to stay put in his grip.
“Levi, I will help you my dear” Queen mother Matilda offered almost immediately but he stopped her with a show of the hand.
“I can handle it” He said trying to lift it up to his lips but it fell off once more.
Porsha watched in a silence but didn't bother to help, after all it wasn't her job to feed him, she didn't want to be there in the first place nor have to share the same air with him.
“Porsha” Anne called out in a whisper, padding her on the shoulder. Porsha turned towards her, her intrigues plagued.
“Porsha, I think you should help him”
Porsha's heart stopped momentarily at the abomination that played on her ear drums.
“Why would I do that? He doesn't want anyone's help” Porsha explained equally whispering, but Anne wouldn't see reasons with her.
“But that's where you're wrong Porsha. I think he wants his wife to feed him, besides you don't have a choice, Empress Helen's eyes are peeled on you” Anne informed and just as Porsha turned towards them, so was the case.
“Porsha, my child is there a problem” Empress Helen questioned her eyes burrowing into Porsha's.
Porsha smiled, trying to suppress her anger and with a heavy heart said, “Nothing mother, I was only asking for water in a bowl so I could feed his majesty” Porsha lied with an abject smile, and Leviathan praised, he was finally going to make her do exactly what he wanted without saying a word.
Swallowing a lump in her throat, Porsha grabbed the bowl filled with water and handed it over to Leviathan, who shamelessly watched his hand.
Porsha then washed hers, placing the bowl to the side, and began doing the very thing she swore never to do, let go of her table manners and treat a man like a baby.
She grabbed a slice of the stake, and with a crawl on her skin raised it to Leviathan's lips, her head hung low.
Leviathan smiled, grabbed hold of her delicate hand and raised the stake to his lips, taking delicate bites so the moment would last.
His hold sent cold shivers all over her skin, her body becoming disgusted by goosebumps.
With a hurting and heavy chest, she still managed to perform her wifely duties.
With each passing bite Leviathan took, his hold became more deliberate and by the time he was done with the first slice, his hand was all over Porsha's, surrounding it like an glove.
Leviathan's goal was simple, irritate Porsha to the point that she exposed herself infront of his mother Helen but Porsha was strong willed, she stood tall, she refused to let him win.
In a couple of minutes she was done and washed her hands.
Without bothering to have a bite of her own, they both exited the room.
Porsha and Leviathan walked into the courtyard, each one ignoring the other.
At the time some children (Queen Violet's 7 years old son, Phillip, and his friends)
were engulfed in stone throwing, and as though being a magnet for harm, a stone migrated towards Porsha's face.
She was so engulfed in trying to avoid eye contact that she didn't notice the stone approaching her.
But the time Anne screamed it was already too late to escape, so instead she closed her eyes, brazing herself for the impact, an impact that never came.
Instead, she heard a sound suggesting that there had been a collision but after a couple of seconds nothing still happened, so she opened her eyes, only to see the last thing she could have envisioned. Leviathan standing in front of her, the large stone in his hand as he tossed it to the air and caught it once more.
Porsha froze, her mind travelled a thousand miles per second, as she put two in two together. Leviathan had faked the hand injury just to make her serve him and she stupidly fell into his trap.
Phillip, the little boy who shot the stone immediately ran to them.
“Good morning Emperor, queen. I am sorry to have shut at you with a stone. It was an accident. Would you punish me for this, Emperor?” He apologized with trembling limbs, and Porsha's ice cold heart melted momentarily.
Leviathan smiled, ducking to his level.
“Phillip my dear, I accept your apology but you still need to be punished, after all you almost broke my beautiful wife's face” He said in a bit to tease Porsha, and it seemed to be working cause Porsha's cheeks turned bright red.
“Either way your punishment wouldn't be too severe cause I will be the one giving it to you, if it were to be queen Porsha you would have ended up with a broken eye” He added, this time taunting her to the point where her blood boiled.
“Don't scare the kid, I am not going to punish him cause he's innocent, unlike some people I know” She explained moving forward to where the kid stood.
“Phil you can go play now. I have pardoned you but no more throwing of stones” Porsha commanded with a small smile, her tone laced with care and concern that it made Phillip's heart flutter.
“Thank you Emperor, junior mother. Bye-bye” Phillip added running off.
“Junior mother”, it had a nice ring to it in Porsha's ear. She always wanted to be referred to as a mom, but not once did she imagine it be this soon.
Her heart raced to the innocence on the child's face, but her excitement was short lived as Leviathan's voice cut through the air.
“For someone who doesn't want her husband to have any sort of canal knowledge of her, you certainly seem excited about being referred to as a mother"
His words were like a cold breeze, which snatched Porsha out of her exciting thoughts.
“And for someone who loves to play others conscience's you certainly lie a lot” She said with a tedious frown, as she glanced upon his injured hand and Leviathan burst out laughing.
“Porsha you're amazing. I saved you, but instead of saying thank you, you are yelling at me” Leviathan said, his tone hinting at excitement.
“Guess we are even now, you made me serve you as a maid and now you serve me as a guard, so no thank yous are required” Porsha said with a straight face, before walking out gracefully.
Leviathan chuckled, Porsha wasn't only beautiful but intelligent as well, and to someone like him who already had some many beautiful women around him, it took someone like her to make his blood bubble with excitement.
